Connecting to X Server on a FreeBSD Box
Hi, I start an X server on my FreeBSD box. I want to run some remote X applications from my fedora core 2. So, I have ssh to the fedora box and typed gedit. But it says : (gedit:12438): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: After I had export DISPLAY=freebsdboxip:0.0 it says again: (gedit:12438): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: But I can run freebsd application from my fedora core 2.

Limiting process memory consumption with rsetlimit and limit. . .
Hey all, I'm currently working on a project where I need to limit the amount of physical memory a process uses. I've tried the rsetlimit function and the limit shell command to do so, but I have had no luck (though I was able to limit the virtual memory and cause it to segfault). Neither seems to have any effect on the physical memory available to the process. If anyone could enlighten me on how to limit the physical memory available to a process, it would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to make the program have page faults, but I haven't had much luck yet.

Re: KDE not starting. Cannot start kdeinit
On Sat, 16 Apr 2005, Danny Pansters wrote: IIRC exec used to be needed for some reason, but that's been a while, merely startkde (which is just a shell script) will do. The reasoning is in the man page for startx(1): [[ The .xinitrc is typically a shell script which starts many clients according to the user's preference. When this shell script exits, startx kills the server and performs any other session shutdown needed. Most of the clients started by .xinitrc should be run in the back- ground. The last client should run in the foreground; when it exits, the session will exit. People often choose a session manager, window manager, or xterm as the ''magic'' client. ]] Since the session stops when the .xinitrc process dies, you can either launch startkde from within the shell script (in which case the .xinitrc script waits until startkde exits, then exits), or you can use exec startkde to replace the .xinitrc process with the startkde one. In either case the only difference is that leaving out the exec means you've got one additional shell process hanging around until you quit X. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 9287088 (with luck) http://ioctl.org/jan/ I like oranges more than apples!? - that's like comparing apples and oranges! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

5.4: vinum not starting at boot gvinum lacking functionality
Hi, Is there any chance we could get either vinum or gvinum to the reliability levels that vinum has had on 4.x before 5.4 gets out? Now vinum does not start at boot time. Gvinum is still very much promise-ware while missing resetconfig, etc. tools for managing spindle configurations. Even gvinum man pages and other gvinum documents are still missing. It is making plain and relatively straight forward OS version upgrades awfully hard, if people have to start rebuilding their whole volume management environments as a part of the process. Currently the only alternative seems to be taking the effort to go over to using e.g. gmirror, etc. Environments that have been using vinum for volume management are now stuck with 4.11 for which support is busily degrading. (= New drivers are not coming in. Ports support is becoming sloppy, because ports administrators do not run 4.x themselves any more.) // jau ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD Culture
FreeBSD Culture We are four undergraduate students (1st year) who have chosen Organizational Culture and FreeBSD as the subject for our major written project. The underlying assumption for our project is that the FreeBSD community can be viewed and described within the framework of the theory for Organizational behavior and culture - that is; as a 'virtual' organization. To investigate and clarify this, we would like to confer with participants of the FreeBSD community who are well-informed of the how's and why's of FreeBSD. The following non-exhausting list holds examples of questions we would like to clarify: - Does there exist myths, 'legends' and stories concerning FreeBSD, which are common knowledge in the community. - How does one get to be a member of '-core'? Or more accurately, how does a member advance in the FreeBSD community? - Is the language described in the 'jargon file' used and understood by all members of the community? - What motivates people to join the FreeBSD community and to contribute to the common course? - Is it possible to improve the structure of the FreeBSD community? We are not sure where to post questions like these - and if freebsd.org as a suitable forum for those kind of questions. Suggestions and thoughts about this will be much appreciated. All communication will be by mail, and all participants will be anonymous should the prefer so. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I'm trying to get heartbeat going. I have a problem though with the udpport setting.

System wide setting for OpenSSL CAfile / system certificates?
Good Afternoon, I've spent the past three hours playing with openssl.cnf and surfing google, and so far I've been unable to find an answer to this question. So I thought I'd ask here :). The background is that I've finally got around to getting a wildcard SSL certificate for my personal server, all daemons are using this, Firefox/IE/Thunderbird are all happy with the certificate and see it signed by ChainedSSL signed by Equifax and all is good. However when I use the FreeBSD server to connect to it's self, in several programs I get asked to confirm the certificate. So I assumed this was because there was no central root certificate store. So I installed security/ca-roots from ports, and that put the certs.pem file in /usr/local/share/certs and a symlink to it in /etc. However as I found this simply installs it. Using openssl s_cleint I was able to run some tests, if I didn't provide a cafile then I got the following. [nebula:~]# openssl s_client -connect localhost:imaps CONNECTED(0003) depth=1 /C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:0 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=GB/O=*.alastria.net/OU=https://services.choicepoint.net/get.jsp?GT45161984/OU=See www.freessl.com/cps (c)04/OU=Domain Control Validated - ChainedSSL(TM)/CN=*.alastria.net i:/C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority 1 s:/C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority i:/C=US/O=Equifax Secure Inc./CN=Equifax Secure eBusiness CA-1 --- If I provided a cafile, all was good and got this: [nebula:~]# openssl s_client -connect localhost:imaps -CAfile /etc/ssl/cert.pem CONNECTED(0003) depth=2 /C=US/O=Equifax Secure Inc./CN=Equifax Secure eBusiness CA-1 verify return:1 depth=1 /C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority verify return:1 depth=0 /C=GB/O=*.alastria.net/OU=https://services.choicepoint.net/get.jsp?GT45161984/OU=See www.freessl.com/cps (c)04/OU=Domain Control Validated - ChainedSSL(TM)/CN=*.alastria.net verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=GB/O=*.alastria.net/OU=https://services.choicepoint.net/get.jsp?GT45161984/OU=See www.freessl.com/cps (c)04/OU=Domain Control Validated - ChainedSSL(TM)/CN=*.alastria.net i:/C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority 1 s:/C=US/O=ChainedSSL/CN=ChainedSSL Certificate Authority i:/C=US/O=Equifax Secure Inc./CN=Equifax Secure eBusiness CA-1 --- I have tried various settings in openssl.cnf, but I can not get CAfile to be defaulted to anything. My basic question is can I do this, and if so, how? I'm expecting once this works (maybe stupidly) for it to propagate down to applications that use the openssl library. Although for some programs (like Mutt) I'll be required to set a property to allow mutt to trust the system certs (ssl_usesystemcerts). I hope someone out there knows, I've been playing and running truss and all sorts for the past three hours trying to get this to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Stuck in bootstrapping hell - how do I troubleshoot?
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a new development server to boot FreeBSD. The disk contents are an exact mirror from what I have running on a production server, except for a different IP number in rc.conf. The hardware is identical as far as I can tell. The server is in a datacenter and I can only access it via ssh and boot either from the local disks or via network (freebsd or linux) - no serial console, so I can't see where it gets stuck during the bootstrap. Any attempt to boot from the local disks fails. I can't ping the server for several minutes, until I give up and reboot again via network. Nothing is written to /var/log/messages during the local boot attempt. I've reinstalled the bootstrap code several times both using sysinstall to install a standard mbr and using fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ar0 and disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 ar0s1 I seem to run into this same kind of problem over and over again. Usually I somehow get it to work eventually, without being able to tell anymore what fixed it because of the mass of stuff I tried before it just suddenly works :-) How can I verify that I have a valid boot sector and mbr on that disk (other than by attempting to boot)? Any tips on how to troubleshoot these kinds of bootstrapping problems without sitting in front of the box or having console access?

Support for Alviso (Intel i915) chipset networking?

I am running FreeBSD 5.3 on an x86 system. I have a 3ware 9500-s 12 port raid controller installed. Currently there is 8 250gig HD's attached. I originally created a raid-50 (two raid-5, 4 drives each) but recently, migrated the raid-50 to one large raid-5 (which freed up one of the disks) . After which, I went to expand the fs, but to my dismay, growfs is having issues. I've already set the new sizes in fdisk and disklabel. When I do: growfs -s 3396841102 /dev/da0s1h I get: growfs: we are not growing (727144389-536870911) Now I obviously don't know enough about growfs to understand what's going on, but, my guess is that it's mis-reporting the current size and/or the size I'm giving it to expand to. Even if I give it a larger size, the 536870911 number does not increase. I've read Scott Long is 'in progress' of fixing some issues with growfs, I'm just not sure if mine fall into those categories. If anyone could email me with some ideas on what I can do, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Support for Alviso (Intel i915) chipset networking?
D'oh, you're right, the i915 is the graphics chip (I think, technically, it's the whole northbridge. Intel is damn unclear about what functions are in each chip. The Win XP drivers list the ethernet as Intel(R) PRO/100 VE PCI ID: vendor = 8086 dev= 1068 subsys = 81d0104d rev= 03 The marketing page about this platform is here: http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2005/volume09issue01/intro/p05_new_components.htm though it's quite substance-free. :-| I'll keep hunting for what could be going wrong, but any further pointers welcome! thanks all, -Nick Kevin Kinsey wrote: Nick Triantos wrote: Hi, I just bought a Sony VGN-S380 laptop, which is based on Intel's Sonoma platform. This includes the Intel i915 chipset. I'm looking for ethernet (not wireless) drivers for it, the fxp driver reluctantly loads, but doesn't recognize that there's a compatible card in my system. Isn't the i915 the graphics chipset? What is known about the NIC portion of this board? What shows up in dmesg? snip root# kldstat Id Refs AddressSizeName ... 41 0xc1f23000 8000if_fxp.ko However, ifconfig does not show an interface to this card (it shows lo0 and fwe0, which I think is the firewire ethernet driver). It is. Any clues? It looks like a fix has been applied to the fxp driver, in time for rel 5.3, that should have added alviso chip support. Maybe I'm missing some other core logic driver, I really don't know. Hmm, what are you referring to here? IANAE, so please hang on in case someone (who likely isn't sitting at their desk on a Sunday afternoon) knowledgeable comes along; however, I see no mention of i915 either in the manpage for fxp(4), nor can I grep Alviso or i915 in any files under /src/sys/pci or /src/sys/net. Google doesn't turn up much, either. The thing is pretty new, so I'd wonder if it's supported. You can definitely take a look at the HCL at the website. I'll hope for your sake it is --- like I said, IANAE. But, I do wonder...

Re: how to make my RAID device WORM(write once and read many)
hai, Thanks for responding to my query, actually it is a raid5 storage device it contains firewire and usb ports, through this interface a user can store data to the raid5 device irrespective of file system. once he copied data to the device it should be immutable(i.e cannot be modify and delete). Can u suggest any approach to achieve this task. bye ppk --- Александр Деревянко [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: prasadam kumar wrote: hai, I am working Raid5 storage device and i want to make my device WORM(write once and read many) and undeleatable. I formated the target device in vfat, when i am mounting the device in host machine it should behavie like WORM. To achive this feature whether i have to change in host machine or target machine, which one is better approach and plz tell me how to achive this. bye ppk The first question is: for which purpose do you need this feature ? In any case, you will need to have backup for this RAID. From my point of view, it looks like some version control management system. May be, it will be wiser to use it ? As i understand, you can't get this feature from plain filesystem. Even if you hack vinum to allow write only once in every block, usual filesystem will not work on such device. You can make something like database with add-only interface (MySQL + some scripting) and allow access from Web interface. Take a look on some SCM solutions, it may be what you want. -- Best Regards, Alexander Derevianko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?
