So, what exactly are we supposed to accomplish in respect to stale ports, when we run pkgdb -F (deinstall, some kind of fix, simple ignore)? pkgdb tries to update the dependencies when new versions of a port appear.

Serial console connection problem
Hi!

Problem with partitioning
Dear all, I have been trying to install FreeBSD 5.3, and having problems with partitions. My HD configuration was as follows: - one IBM 30 GB HD (seen as ad0 by FreeBSD booted from CD, and as /dev/hde by Linux) with a FAT32 partition (WinME), a Ext3 partition (Mandrake Linux 8.1) and a Linux Swap partition - one Maxtor 200 GB HD (seen as ad1 by FreeBSD and as /dev/hdg by Linux) with a FAT32 partition (no OS on it), a Ext3 partition (Slackware Linux 10.1) and 100 GB free space. The OSes are booted by Lilo installed on the MBR of the first disk. I made a 30GB partition for FreeBSD and installed the system on it, leaving the MBRs untouched. It did give me a warning about wrong disk geometry, but otherwise the installation seemed OK. Now what happens is: - WinME can't see the FAT32 partition on the Maxtor disk (let alone the other ones); - Mandrake Linux and Lilo can't see any partition on the Maxtor disk (so I can't boot the OSes on this disks); - Knoppix 3.7 (a live Linux CD) can see the partitions on the Maxtor disk (even the sub-partitions in the FreeBSD partitions - let me apologize here for not using the proper FreeBSD terminology) but it can't mount them properly; - FreeBSD (booted from CD) can see and mount everything properly. A couple more notes: - I made the partitions on the Maxtor CD with Slackware's fdisk; - When I boot from the FreeBSD cd (or Freesbie) I need to choose safe mode, or it will hang after detecting the Maxtor disk (maybe I should have taken this in more account...). Any idea on what went wrong and how to fix it? The data already on the Maxtor disk are not critical, but I would prefer to recover them. Thanks, Marco Navighi a 4 MEGA e i primi 3 mesi sono GRATIS.

Re: how to enable PHP on Apache?
Hello ! :-) You just need to install mod_php port. It's located into /usr/ports/www (there are a mod_php4/ and a mod_php5/ directories). Just make install clean from one or two of these directories and it must be installed. Because I think it's not installed (even if it's mentionned in httpd.conf... it's strange by the way :-).

Re: DNS Names resolution in ipfw+nat ?
faisal gillani wrote: Well i read couple of how,to artical on the internet regarding setting up a ipfw firewall with nat to allow your private network client to setup internet access , but their isnt one thing clear to me , which was not present in any of the articals , which is how there internal clients gona resolve internet hosts names ? Generally speaking, a program looking to resolve a hostname to an IP will first consult /etc/hosts, which is a simple text file you can examine or edit as you wish. If the hostname which needs to be resolved isn't present in that file, the program will consult DNS via the network. DNS uses port 53 and it can use either TCP or UDP, though in practice a client will never use TCP. (TCP is used mainly for zone transfers and the like, which are server-to-server.) The rule of thumb for Unix is not to use hostnames in startup scripts, because it's possible that DNS will not be available when they are run. It can take over a minute for a DNS query to time out. Besides, it also makes you vulnerable to DNS hijacking. Instead, use IPs or put an entry in /etc/hosts if you must. Incidentally, the firewall rules to allow DNS would be ipfw add allow tcp from me to any 53 setup keep-state ipfw add allow udp from me to any 53 keep-state As a technical aside, the name resolution path I described above is not the way it has to work, just the way it is configured by default. will this be autoconfigured ? No, though the above rules should be in the sample ipfw script which comes with FreeBSD. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can also look at /var/run/dmesg.boot and look for: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 1 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 0 BSP stands for bootstrap processor and AP for application processor. The BSP is the one used to load the system until this message comes up: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! which will happen right before the kernel launches init. try top(1) the output of top should contain a C column. if this column contains 0s and 1s both your CPUs are used There is a line for cpu put it only shows one. Im used to linux and when I do a top in Linux I see two lines for my cpus. You are looking in the wrong place. A C *column*, not a CPU *row*. FreeBSD will only ever show the total CPU time on the CPU row. This is something like what you will see on an SMP system: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPUCPU COMMAND 89704 emccoy960 2484K 1660K CPU1 0 0:00 0.51% 0.05% top 97005 root 960 3092K 1248K select 1 29:28 0.00% 0.00% ntpd First, note the state for top: it's CPU1. Second, the C column is 0 for top, 1 for ntpd. The C column is the last CPU the process ran on. The WCPU and CPU columns, by the way, are both *per-CPU*, as you can see here: CPU states: 2.7% user, 0.0% nice, 47.5% system, 0.8% interrupt, 49.0% idle 89739 emccoy 1100 1324K 684K CPU0 0 0:43 99.00% 87.50% cat So another way to tell if SMP is working is if the summary row says 50% idle but you've got a process which shows 100% active. Is the stock kernel that gets installed when doing a new install smp enabled? No. Do i need to rebuild my kernel for smp? Yes. The good news is that it's very easy.

Re: dhclient oddness?
Mark Cullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Right, I have this weird annoying issue with my modem which I have finally got around to looking in to. Basically, it's all good and works fine (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here!), except when I reboot the internet computer the IP will change, the connection DOESN'T drop, but the IP does change. I have just now narrowed this down to some sort of problem with dhcp I think. The modem has a dhcpd server built in, which sends out the internet IP address to the computers network card. It seems, whenever the dhcp client, dhclient in this case, gets restarted it'll get the old ip address (the first chunk of the quote below, before the freeze), natd will update itself, but then the connection will just stall until dhclient does the next DHCPREQUEST thing (47 seconds in this case?) .. then the modem sends back a DHCPNAK and I get a different IP address. Any ideas why this might be happening? Your modem is clearly the source of the problem, and it seems unlikely that anything on the FreeBSD side could help, aside from maybe forcing a lease free before starting dhclient on startup. I'd try looking at the configuration for that modem device, or possibly for a firmware upgrade for it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, you don't replace the password, you just insert an invalid character - one which can never be the result of crypt(). That invalid character is typically an asterisk. To unlock the account, you remove the asterisk. It's how pw usermod -L and -U work. For the OP, it's important to use all three approaches if your victim is untrustworthy.

Debug tags in FreeBSD
Dear Sirs. Sometimes I watch compiling 'world' or 'kernel' and recognize some '-g' options while compiling, especially when doing so with a FreeBSD 5.X-STABLE branch. Are all pre-releases of FreeBSD due to development and bug tracking 'tagged' with debugger options and do they go away with a 'RELEASE' (or is this simply a stupid rumor that all STABLE versions are still tagged to be debugged)? The reason why I ask is simple. I need my FreeBSD box for scientific researches and would like to squeeze out as much power as possible and therefor debugging options are meant to slow down code.

Using ppp/tun0 manually, how to trigger 'pf' automaticaly
Hello. I use the ppp utility to configure and setup a line (at the moment no other way possible). How can I trigger 'pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf' after the line has been setup to make pf working with the tun0 assigned IP? Or are there other way doing so?

Sometimes I watch compiling 'world' or 'kernel' and recognize some '-g' options while compiling, especially when doing so with a FreeBSD 5.X-STABLE branch.

The default compile options for FreeBSD (including -STABLE, -CURRENT as well as releases) do not include any debug flags. The reason why I ask is simple. I need my FreeBSD box for scientific researches and would like to squeeze out as much power as possible and therefor debugging options are meant to slow down code. Even if you do compile with '-g' it will not slow down the code at all. The only drawback will be that the extra debug info will take up extra space on the disk.

puc, ppc and MosChip SemiConductors Nm9805 Parallel Port Adapter

ipfw + pipe and icmp

I belive this will limit all incoming icmp traffic to 640bits/s but not any outgoing, or, replys to outgoing thus making icmp flooding imposable. Please correct me if I am wrong, (did i form the rules correctly?), or if I should go about this another way. Also, how much bandwidth does a single default sized ping packet consume? Should I raise or lower the limit, (I don't want the replies to be false or give to much slack)? This is a part that I'm not clear on at all. I don't belive more then 10 pings should be considered. Also, if I start using rules with pipes, will I need to rewrite all the rules to use pipes or will only the rules with pipes be limited and everything else will operate on default? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Normally usbd(8) is notified of USB events, but in this case it seems to get events for the umass* device, not the da*s* device that you'll want to use. There have been people who've used a shell-script called by usbd to figure out the connection between umass-da from dmesg output and then mount the filesystem, but that doesn't do umounts. It's also complicated if you want it to work for multiple users, unless you give it 777 permissions. You could also give amd(8) a try. I found that making a one-line shell script to do the mounting is much less hassle. Roland -- R.F.

Issue compiling JDK15
Hi, I've been attempting to compile JDK15 on my AMD64 laptop. I have linux redhat 8 installed for linux compatibility and the linux-sun-jdk1.4.2 installed so that the /usr/ports/java/jdk15 would use the appropriate javac compiler to compile JDK15 natively. I reach a point where I receive the following message. execv(): Bad address Error trying to exec /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac. Check if file exists and permissions are set correctly. gmake[3]: *** [.compile.classlist] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/java' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java' gmake[1] *** [all] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make' gmake: *** [j2se-build] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.

Re: Sysinstall + CVSup or just CVSup?
Christopher Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My goal is to have the latest ports, regardless of which ones I actually want to install. I guess my question is more can I CVSup without first installing the ports collection, and if I do so, does that save time or take longer? The short answer is that you can do it, and it will probably cost you some time. The slightly longer answer is that how much time you save (by downloading the ports tree before doing a cvsup on it) depends on a number of factors, most notably your network bandwidth. There also are a few possible gotchas to keep in mind if you adopt an existing tree this way: see the CVSUP FAQ at http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html and particularly the questions in the Recipes section. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Cannot use cvsup with 5.3-release
I ran into a problem like that when I did an upgrade to 5.4-prelease. I found for me, that for port updates it seems to look at your release level in your options. I went into root and ran sysinstall. I selected Options. At the bottom of the left hand column is the option Release Name. I changed it to 5.3-RELEASE. I'd probably check there, another thing I'll do is try a couple other cvsup sites.

Note, the question asked for suspend, not remove. I read suspend as implying that the account may be used again. No, you don't replace the password, you just insert an invalid character - one which can never be the result of crypt(). That invalid character is typically an asterisk. To unlock the account, you remove the asterisk. It's how pw usermod -L and -U work. I hadn't considered that. I will be doing that from now on. Thanks. For the OP, it's important to use all three approaches if your victim is untrustworthy. If you change the password but nothing else he can still get in via SSH; if you change the shell but nothing else he can still get in via FTP (possibly); if you change the home directory but nothing else he can still get in via SSH (and mess with /tmp or /var/tmp). So if you are locking out the user to preserve evidence of some misdeed, be sure to do all three. If this is just a real-life buddy who's welching on some money he owes you, though, doing only one will probably be sufficient.

When I try to sign something, pinentry-qt launches, I enter my passphrase, and the file is successfully signed. Every time. There's no passphrase caching (which is what gpg-agent does, correct?). The only thing that might be weird is that my signing key is actually a /secondary/ key, but I wouldn't have thought that would cause issues. gpg throws no errors.
