Can't build ports on older FreeBSD machine
I've been asked to upgrade some software on an older FreeBSD 4.x box. (The
owner is getting ready to move to a new box with 4.11 but can't take the
machine out of production just yet.) I upgraded all of the ports via CVS, and
then discovered that none of them would build. When I try to build a port,
I get messages like
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4852: Malformed conditional
(defined(USE_RCORDER) || defined(USE_RC_SUBR) ${USE_RC_SUBR:U} != YES)
I'm not sure, but it appears that the master Makefile for the ports collection
was updated during the CVS update and requires features that the make utility
which shipped with that version of FreeBSD doesn't have. (Correct me if I'm
wrong here, but that's what it looks like at first glance.) How can I build
ports on that box? Note that I may be in a bit of a Catch-22 situation,
since any solution that requires installing a new make won't work if I have
to build it from a port.

Intel SRCU41L SCSI Raid Controller
Hi, I have this raid controller and I cannot install any FreeBSD version except 5.1 Release. 5.1 causes no problem in installation but FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4RC2 hang when boot process reaches AMR module part(disk probing). It detects RAID level and size then hangs. Verbose logging only says GEOM: new disk amrd0 and stops. Mainboard is NCCH-DR Asus Server board and there are two Xeon processors. I have disabled acpi on startup but it changed nothing. If I enable safe mode, installation starts with no problem but I cannot use safe mode:( If somebody has any idea or any experience with this card, I will be so glad to hear your suggestions.

Big directory and the UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn message
Hello Recently, a server of mine running FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE started getting UDMA ICRC errors and put it's disk communication into PIO mode. I'm just wondering if this could have been caused by one very big and growing directory under /var, where one new file was being created every 15 minutes. It had reached about 100,000 files in the one directory. Is this possible? Or is something more prozaic at play here, eg a dodgy cable or a disk on the way out? There are two identical disks on this box that are mirrored with a hardware raid chip. Here are the messages anyhow: Apr 2 01:13:45 eagle /kernel: ad5: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 119103807 of 0-255 (ad5 bn 119103807; cn 118158 tn 8 sn 39) retrying Apr 2 01:14:01 eagle /kernel: ad5: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 79975487 of 0-23 (ad5 bn 79975487; cn 79340 tn 12 sn 11) retrying Apr 2 01:14:02 eagle last message repeated 2 times Apr 2 01:14:02 eagle /kernel: ad5: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 79975487 of 0-23 (ad5 bn 79975487; cn 79340 tn 12 sn 11) falling back to PIO m ode I'm also getting some other errors about time, eg: Apr 15 03:17:13 eagle named[78]: gettimeofday returned bad tv_usec: corrected Apr 18 15:16:54 eagle /kernel: microuptime() went backwards (44815198.498490 - 44815198.-695597409) about the disks and filesystems: # df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ar0s1a 103214263190 886382 7%/ /dev/ar0s1g 107383706 94043514 474949695%/large /dev/ar0s1f 4129310 1432826 236614038%/usr /dev/ar0s1e 4129310 649442 314952417%/var procfs 44 0 100%/proc # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad5 status: READY Thanks very much Jesse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The same does not happen with xbattbar. You'll have to find another method for things you wish to start automatically as root while logged in as another user, most of them less then desireable. However, that probably isn't the issue. I don't use xbattbar but I doubt there is any compelling reason it has to be started as root. Check in /dev and see who has rights to r/w apm and apmctl (on 4.x). I believe the default is root and members of operator. Make yourself a member of the operator group. If the permissions aren't like that on your system them change them accordingly under 4.x or tweak /etc/devfs.conf on 5.x (not sure where in the 5.x series this started certainly 5.2 and beyond) As to your question... Look in /usr/local/share/apps/kdm/sessions and see what kdm does for xfce. kdm invokes /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4. Take a look at startxfce4. It essentially looks for $HOME/.config/xinitrc, if not found it invokes /usr/X11R6/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc. The default install doesn't create the former. If you want to change the startup then grab a copy of the latter creating the former and alter as desired. -Darren __ Darren Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help fight junk e-mail, visit http://www.cauce.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A description of FreeBSD TCP/IP implementation
Hello, I have found that in some cases networking does not work as I expect in FreeBSD. I'm reading TCP/IP Illustrated now, but I feel like I also need a simple, but extensive source of documentation on TCP/IP implementation in FreeBSD. The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System seems to be a very nice book, but it's not cheap and I'd prefer using some free docs for starters. A selection of network-related manpages plus some commentary and comprehensive examples would be great. Has anyone seen something like that?

I've been asked to upgrade some software on an older FreeBSD 4.x box. (The

and then discovered that none of them would build. When I try to build a

I'm not sure, but it appears that the master Makefile for the ports
collection was updated during the CVS update and requires features that the
make utility which shipped with that version of FreeBSD doesn't have.
(Correct me if I'm wrong here, but that's what it looks like at first
glance.) How can I build ports on that box? Note that I may be in a bit of
a Catch-22 situation, since any solution that requires installing a new
make won't work if I have to build it from a port.
The canonical solution is to upgrade world kernel to 4.11.

hosed the jdk15 port in the pkg db
Hey fellow FreeBSD users. I've just returned from a week off, and must have left my brain in Orlando, because I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem. Upon my return, I upgraded my ports tree, and noticed that portaudit had several new packages listed with security issues. Including jdk1.5 and portupgrade. Well, as usual, I unset JAVA_HOME and ran the portupgrade on jdk and several other packages listed. As always, I used the -RN flags to make sure any dependencies were upgraded as well. I saved the majority of packages to upgrade a little at a time. They all went off without a hitch, except for the jdk15 port. The portupgrade port upgraded first, but I don't imagine the new tool is the one used in the subsequent upgrades. Normally, I upgrade portupgrade first on its own, but this time I didn't. Now, I have several stale dependencies for the jdk15 port. The jdk itself is there, but it's not registered. I tried to force the upgrade (portupgrade -fN) but it fails saying that /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java is already registered - but not the package. I then tried pkg_info -W /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java, but it comes back with no output. pkg_which simply returns a '?'. pkgdb -u doesn't seem to do anything. So I've somehow bonked something quite thoroughly. Any suggestions on how best to fix this - preferably without deleting all or most of the packages I have installed?

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 If users can't delete files, it indeed means that any attempt to open file for writing must create a new version of the file. Or any user can put garbish (or zero length file) into any available to him. Another approach will be to change permissions such that nobody can open again once created file. It seems for me, that it must be possible to obtain such functionality via ACL permissions. But unfortunelly i don't have expirience with ACL permissions in latest FreeBSD's. In any case, something like CVS repository with only last revision visible from user side will be best solution. Where is some SCM systems based on versioning filesystem, you can take a look on them. For example, here http://www.daveeaton.com/scm/CMFAQ.html But it seems for me that most of them are commercial. If you don't want to pay for it and have much spare time, you can make own NFS server which will work under plain filesystem layer and will implement versioning.

Do they not care?, Are they going to trip out if you start filtering their mail?, etc) oAre you going to host these on static IP's?

That script should do the following: - check for name clashes (abort with an error if a file already exists). - copy the file to the target disk. - chmod ugo-w the file to remove all write permissions. - chflags schg,sunlnk,uchg,uunlnk file Of course this is not foolproof, because the superuser can change the flags and permissions. Another option would be to use a revision control system that can handle arbitrary files like subversion. If you write (commit) a new version of a file, the old version is not lost. This also supposes that you create a wrapper script to make things easier (because the first write has to be an add rather than a commit, and other details like creating directories etc).

The system runs stable for 14 hours to 3 days. 1 freeze I received a page fault in yarrow 2 freezes have simply locked the machine, requiring a full manual power off. The kernal build is simple (I try to tamper as little as possible), you can see the mods at the end: (I realize I could spend the time and cut all the extra device drivers, but I use the same setup across multiple machines and like to keep them the same for maintainance reasons) Any help in directing how to fix this machine is appreciated. I have 4 other machines of varying hardware with the same setup, but slightly different application sets without a single problem. Other then this I have enjoyed the FreeBSD stability...

On Tue, 2005-04-19 at 07:24, Stine Madsen wrote: 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? While not a contributor to FreeBSD per se, I could add that joining this community on my part was due to me wanting to 'look under the hood' (I have contributed some minor patches to a couple of ports, some made it in as is, some prompted a better solution by the maintainer) And as 'payback' I have now been able to pass on some of my learning and experience to the next batch of newbies. Knowing that I can peek, and learn _how_ it all works is a great motivating force. And being a believer in using the right tool for a job (like I loath the combination 'multitools' you can buy too) I am willing to spend the time to choose the tool. Or if the tool is not available I like to be able to use the existing resources to build the requred tool. As part of this I also go with the concept of 'elegant software' http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/readings/software_elegance.html For me FreeBSD fits the bill. And I too dont really care about what colour the bikeshed is! And POLA too! no surprises! Google bikeshed freebsd Google POLA freebsd - Is it possible to improve the structure of the FreeBSD community?

Startup scripts question
How do startup scripts work? I added: mysql_enable=²YES² But I don¹t think it is working. I had rebooted my system the other day and my mail server stopped working (postfix reading from mysql tables) and I tried looking at my running processes: ps ax |grep sql and nothing was returned. So I guessed mysql was not running. I tried: mysql start and I got a socket error. I usually get this error when SQL was not started properly. So I ran /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start And low and behold it was all working. So how do startup scripts work. Did I add the wrong value to my /etc/rc.conf file? Or did I miss something somewhere? Does the entry in /etc/rc.conf correlate to the startup script. Should I change my rc.conf file to read mysql-server_enable=²YES² Any advice would be welcome.

I've been asked to upgrade some software on an older FreeBSD 4.x box. (The

then discovered that none of them would build. When I try to build a port,
I get messages like

I'm not sure, but it appears that the master Makefile for the ports collection
was updated during the CVS update and requires features that the make
utility
which shipped with that version of FreeBSD doesn't have. (Correct me if I'm
wrong here, but that's what it looks like at first glance.) How can I build
ports on that box? Note that I may be in a bit of a Catch-22 situation,
since any solution that requires installing a new make won't work if I have
to build it from a port.
Fortunately, make is not built from a port. You need to update your
version of FreeBSD to use ports on that box.

This message is produced if the ethernet card receives a packet that is bigger than permitted by the MTU + the size of the ethernet header. For normal ethernet this means that packets should be = 1514 bytes. So, there are three ways to eliminate the the message: 1) Find the machine sending oversize packets and stop it. 2) Change the MTU on your interface using ifconfig, this will only work if the other machines on the network expect larget frames. 3) You could edit /usr/src/sys/net/if_ethersubr.c and remove the code that prints this error and then recompile your kernel.
