syslogd and pipe to email
I would like to email some kernel.warning messages to myself via the pipe action in syslog.conf, but I'm getting hung up on the fact that the pipe stays open (unless I HUP syslogd). The man page suggests that a script wrapper can be written to capture one line output and exit, but I wonder if there is any other method, such as an option/flag I am missing to terminate the pipe after, say, 30 seconds? I would rather have a script which waits at least 30 seconds before terminating rather than after one line, because some of the records I am looking for are multi-line, and I'm not sure if a script can be made to timeout.

Testing a DHCP server without jeopardizing my IP configuration?
Hi, I have remote root-access to a FreeBSD 4.11 PC inside a private network. The IP of this PC is fixed, but all other Windows PCs on the network obtain their IP number via DHCP from another gateway/router. I have no access to the gateway/router. There is possibly a problem with the DHCP server. Although the gateway still functions as a gateway, the DHCP server might not be handing out IP numbers anymore (I suspect that the dhclients of the Windows PCs are desperately hanging on to their old IP numbers, although already expired). I want to communicate with the DHCP server from my FreeBSD system and find out whether it is or is not handing out IP numbers anymore. However, I want to do this without jeopardizing the FreeBSD's IP configuration. Is there a way to test the DHCP server, without running dhclient and thus without losing my FreeBSD system's IP configuration? Thank you, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi, Tnx again for your answer! Most of what you need is already in the GENERIC kernel. The rest is a available as modules. IIRC, you have to load the cam.ko module.

Re: Seagate HD not detected by FreeBSD
* Erik Trulsson [2005-05-29 14:09 +0200] Although it is theoretically fine to have just a slave device on an IDE channel without a master device, that configuration fails to work in many cases. If it fails to work it is probably a bug in some component of the system, but that doesn't help the person having the problem. If you have just a single IDE device on an IDE channel it should be configured as master, not as slave. Having it configured as slave is supposed to work, but often does not work and is therefore not recommended. It seems you are right! However, there should be no need for a slave-only setup anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In 5.X it is better *not* to compile the sound card (and many other) drivers
directly into the kernel, but to load them as modules when the machine boots.
This makes it easier e.g. to change drivers when you change sound cards.
I have no idea if your sound card is supported or not. To found out, do
cd /boot/kernel
ls snd_*
then one at a time
kldload snd_{next driver}
until you load one which produces some messages on the console about
recognising your hardware.
Then put a line in /boot/loader.conf like
snd_{your driver}_load=YES
e.g.
snd_driver_load=YES
which catches my AC97 on-board sound hardware.

Re: Can I mount an ISO image directly with mount?
OK, here's how you do it on Linux: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 ISO filename mount destination eg.: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/steven/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso /var/ftp/pub/freebsd-5.4/ Apparently, however this doesn't work on FreeBSD. AFAIK, this should work: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ISO filename -u 0 # mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 mount destination eg.: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /home/steven/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -u 0 # mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /var/ftp/pub/freebsd-5.4/ Regards, -- Can Berk Guder Sabanci University Istanbul, Turkey Quoting Steven Friedrich [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I believe I read a posting over a year ago, that stated that you could mount an ISO file directly with mount.

RE: HP LC II Netserver PNP BIOS

tape record bigger than supplied buffer
I realize that I posted this earlier this weekend but with the American holiday weekend, I am worried some people didn't see it. I really could use any opinion on this as tape backups are really new to me. I'm test piloting bacula on a FreeBSD 5.4-REL system. All seemed to work well in monitored tests. So last night I set up a job to run at night. When I came in this morning, all seemed to go well...the backup happened but I noticed 3 messages on the console: (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer The backup seemed to go okay as I restored several files off of that tape with no problems. Realizing the console messages mean what it does at face value, was any data lost(should i take this as a warning or as an error) ? Thnak you for any experience that you can share with me on tape backups. - Damian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Clients receive only first 4k (issue with pf.conf) -- ignore others
(First, I apologize if there are duplicates sent to the list, but
that's related to the question.)
I originally asked about this back in February:
http://monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-questions/200502/
msg03071.html
Then just posted again recently with more details:
http://monkey.org/freebsd/archive/freebsd-questions/200505/
msg00846.html
Essentially, certain web client only receive the first 4096 bytes of
the file they request, then a garbage byte, then nothing. I *finally*
figured out that pf was responsible. Specifically, this line in pf.conf:
pass out on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } all keep state
Everything's fine with Apache if I change it to this:
pass out on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } all
The problem is that if I use the version without keep state, the
machine can't send outbound mail, and I see messages like this in
maillog:
May 30 09:14:33 vertigo qmail: 1117469673.126013 delivery
639634: deferral
Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
In fact, I tried to send this message to the list twice yesterday,
but realized that mail packets were being filtered out. I looked at
pflog0 while mail was being sent, but I wasn't able to find the
bounced packets. Here's the relevant smtp line:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any
port 25
I'm much more familiar with the firewalls bundled with various linux
distributions, so I'm really stumped. I've read through various
sections of the PF faq, but I haven't found an answer to this.
Thanks,

I don't have any 4.x systems so you'd have to compare the options for vnconfig(?) if that's what you have. I don't have the script-fu to suggest how you might set about undoing it all in one line, since you'd have to do an unmount before you could perform the required mdconfig -d, and hence lose the chance to do something like: mdconfig -d -u`mount | grep /mount-point | cut ... ` so you'd probably have to script it. Although ... set mdvar=`mount | grep /mount-point | cut -c 8-8` umount /mount-point mdconfig -d -u $mdvar unset mdvar seems to work (but comes with a multitude of disclaimers about fitness for purpose and possible health risks!).

help with corrupted MAC error
Hi - I need some help please. I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 on an xSeries 345. I am not running 5.4 as I need to use some software that currently supports 5.3. I have a clean installation yet when I attempt to do large file transfers (I am doing make install in the ports tree) the transfer dies and I am disconnected from my SSH login with: perl-5.8.5.tar.bz2 43% of 9242 kB 115 kBps 00m45s Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input. This is pretty consistant with any larger (over 1MB or so) download that the machine is doing. I've searched and other than understanding this is a network problem I don't know where to look. For the sake of it I ended up upgrading my router firmware as I read somewhere about a Linksys issue - I am now current on the firmware (the machine is sitting on the DMZ address of the router). I have swapped ethernet cables and generally looked at my physical network. The dmesg for the machine is below. Anyone with advice if you could please over-explain a bit it would be appreciated. I am pretty new to FreeBSD and working my way through plenty of books and Googling. I'm not completely sure how to check if my network interface driver is the most current or how to change it.

Odd files in /etc/mail after 5.2-5.4 upgrade and mimedefang not working
I'm trying to establish why I'm currently having a problem with my sendmail/mimedefang setup after upgrading from 5.2 to 5.4.

FreeBSD's MPlayer not using GTK2

In fact, I tried to send this message to the list twice yesterday,
but realized that mail packets were being filtered out. I looked at
pflog0 while mail was being sent, but I wasn't able to find the
bounced packets. Here's the relevant smtp line:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any
port 25
I'm much more familiar with the firewalls bundled with various linux
distributions, so I'm really stumped. I've read through various
sections of the PF faq, but I haven't found an answer to this.
Sorry to post *yet again* on this, but I think I finally figured out
what was wrong. I want to post a follow-up for the archives. The
solution to partial page Apache problem was to balance the keep
state directives.
Originally, the httpd line looked like this:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port 80
And the out line looked like this:
pass out on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } all keep state
The solution was to change the httpd line to this:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port
80 keep state
That 'keep state' turns on stateful inspection. Here's quick info from
PF FAQ:
One of Packet Filter's important abilities is keeping state or
stateful inspection. Stateful inspection refers to PF's ability to
track the state, or progress, of a network connection. By storing
information about each connection in a state table, PF is able to
quickly determine if a packet passing through the firewall belongs to
*an already established connection*. If it does, it is passed through
the firewall without going through ruleset evaluation.[1]
(emphasis mine)
That means, you'll need to set up rules for originating packets only
(the rest is handled automagically).
Does it make sense that I'd need keep state for both in and out, or
is this a PF bug?
It depends on what you need. Does this machine run Apache only? Do you
want your Apache to make _outgoing_ connections? If not, you'll most
probably want to open incoming traffic only (keeping states):
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port 80
keep state
and do _not_ let outgoing connections with pass out
But if you want to browse websites from that machine, you'll need the
pass out ... port 80 keep state, too.
While we're here, do you really need UDP traffic to Apache server? You
may also want to look at TCP Flags in FAQ[2]. Here's simple config I
use for serving http:
==
set block-policy return
scrub in all
block in log all
block out log all
pass in quick on lo0
pass out quick on lo0
pass in log quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to $ext_if port
80 flags S/SA keep state
==
Should I add it to these as well?
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port 25
pass in quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port 53
Yes, if you want them visible from Internet.
Looking at the pass out rule it's not clear to me what is the
purpose of this machine. To receive more help please specify the setup
(is this machine directly connected to Internet? what services are
running? what do you want to pass inside/outside? pf.conf, etc.) And,
of course, looking at PF's FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/) might
be a good idea. Hope that helps.

RE: HP LC II Netserver PNP BIOS
Hi Denny, I used to admin a network with a number of those systems on it but it's been years since I've dealt with one, so I've forgotten everything from the BIOS screen. But I did know that HP had the manuals online, so when you said you had no manual for it, I naturally assumed that you were unaware that HP is still supporting them (after a fashion) and that a few minutes work would get you the manual. Now, if you had posted something like I read the manual and the option isn't in there that would have been different. You could try running eisaconfig on it and setting the Operating System parameter to SCO Unix or some such, but I don't know if this is even an option, much less if it would work. I have a customer that ran one of these systems for years with FreeBSD 4.X on it (4.8 I think) so I know that the 4.x series will at least run on them. As I recall these are Pentium 200Hmz systems, correct? If so, FreeBSD 5.X won't get you anything more than what you would get for 4.X. These systems made really nice, solid little servers in their day. Even today they are good for small tasks like network monitoring, etc. and if I were in your shoes I would certainly want to use the system if I had something for it that wasn't too taxing on the CPU. But you are like a lot of people who have posted on this forum in the last few years who have tried pushing older hardware to run FreeBSD 5.X, sometimes it works but most of the time it doesen't seem to. I never even bother booting 5.X on anything that isn't at minimum a Pentium II 500Mhz system nowadays. The only other suggestion I would make is to ask in a hardware forum, or on Usenet in a hardware forum.

On Mon, May 30, 2005 at 10:04:22PM +0200, Andreas Davour wrote: I have looked at apsfilter, and did some half-hearted attempts at understand the www.linuxprinting.com site. According to http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z32 it works partially, and requires a binary-only linux driver to work properly. Maybe you could use it with linux emulation? Maybe. How do linux use printer drivers? Anyone know? Could they be plugged in like a (aps)filter, perhaps? In FreeBSD and Linux (and other unix-like systems) printer drivers are not integrated into the kernel like they are on Windows. Printing is done through a combination of systems. First you have the lpd system. This is where users submit files for printing. It spools print commands and feeds them to a printer (locally or over a network) one at a time. After that comes a filter program, like apsfilter. This translates the input file into a format that the printer understands. apsfilter and other filters usually use ghostscript for converting postscript to a format that different printers understand. Some printers have their own driver program (like the lexmark, I think), which can also be called by apsfilter. I don't know much about printing, and lp, lpr, lprng and all that alphabet soup. That site didn't clear up my confusion. Maybe I should go re-read the handbook, but I don't think it'll help much. By all means read the printing chapter thoroughly. It should enlighten you. snip I'd advise you to sell this printer and buy another one. Check linuxprinting.org before you buy, or buy a postscript printer. The only reason I have it is I got it for free. I did look at that site when someone threw an Apple Laserwriter II NTX after me, Hmm, didn't that hurt? ;-) and unless I misunderstood it should work fine with linux. I didn't work very well for me (like, it just refused to ever print an pdf document) and I dumped it last week. According to the info on linuxprinting.org, the LaserWriter II NTX _is_ a postscript printer. To print pdf files with it, there are at least two options: (1) use pdf2ps, and print the resulting postscript file. (2) install apsfilter. If I had unlimited amounts of money I know what I should buy! A real Postscript printer! Those work.

Since my machine doesn't have any support for reading the HFS (or is it HFS+?) file system which is what the iPod has out of the box, I couldn't however mount any slices from da0. I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the iPod a few times and now the umass0 line appears but the da0 line doesn't appear at all, even after waiting for 40 minutes. I went to a Windows PC with USB2 ports and connected the iPod to that. It was recognized immediately and re-formatted as FAT32. Back to my FreeBSD PC and there's no change - when plugging in the iPod, the umass0 line appears in dmesg, but the da0 line doesn't. What would be the best course of action to get the iPod talking to my FreeBSD box? - install an add-on USB 2.0 card ? - update the PC-s BIOS to latest version (there is a newer version than the one I'm running now)? - update to latest -STABLE (current checkout is from May 10)? - wipe FreeBSD and install Windows?

(like FreeBSD ports) Then to compound the problem when the Firefox team released FF 1.01, 1.02 and such, they decided to make some function calls that were not in the version of freetype that the 4.11 ISO had as a precompiled binary. So the upshot is that if you installed X Windows from the precompiled binary it used the old version of freetype, and when you tried building the newer patched version of firefox, it blew chunks with a bunch of link errors about missing functions. Both of these goofs were the Firefox team's problem, not the FreeBSD teams problem. Unfortunately they were a very visible marring of the 4.11 ISO since Firefox is one of the few web browsers that is available for UNIX that won't fold up and die when it encounters various Microsoft constructs in people's websites. While it may be satisfying to tell people to just not surf www.cnn.com or some such with their old versions of Netscape because the HTML is wrong, it's not very useful. I wish the core team saw each release as a milestone captured in posterity. Anyway, I performed a couple installs last night directly from CD rather than the ftp directory that I created with cp -R /cdrom/* . I notice that during a CD install, the progress bar sometimes appears to back up, perhaps indicating a read that has to be performed again. Perhaps when I use cp, there isn't anything detecting these read errors and I get corrupt data? So to check out this theory, I downloaded the ISOs again and I'm going to mount them and cp into the directory again. I love Unix in general and FreeBSD in particular. I wish the core team wouldn't turn their back on the 4.x series so quickly. Please, please, please schedule a 4.12 release that's as pristine as possible. It is really a matter of allocation of resources I am afraid. The problem is that 4.x lacks some extremely important things, like threading, that are absolutely necessary to get good performance out of some of the most visible Open Source applications. In particular I'm thinking of mysql, which runs like crap in a non-threading SMP environment. You take mysql and stack it up against postgres on 2 identical 4.x SMP systems, and postgres will kick the stuffing out of mysql. Unfortunately the morons that do various bakeoffs for the national media never seem to use postgres when they are writing their Linux vs FreeBSD articles. Instead they use mysql which has been optimized for threading, and Linux has a much better threading package than FreeBSD 4.X. For this and other reasons the team wisely decided to do an entirely separate FreeBSD version train, rather than try to stuff all these fundamental kernel changes into 4.X The problem that the Project has run into, though, is that hardware has changed ferociously in the last couple years. Each time another 4.X and 5.X release came out, more and more newer systems would run better under 5.X, and more and more older systems would run better under 4.X. In the meantime pricing is plummeting into the toilet, to where today you can walk into a computer store and have a server custom-built with IDE raid for under $1000, that will kick the literal crap out of a 4 year old server bought from Dell for $15,000. So it is quite obvious that it is imperative to get FreeBSD running as good as possible on this plethora of wonderful powerful NEW hardware that is coming out daily, so that when the national ragazine writers evaluate FreeBSD, that FreeBSD comes off with high marks. Thus, we need to concentrate all our development time on the newer release and let the older release end. The 4.X train really has been carried far longer than any previous release train of FreeBSD. 4.X runs fantastically well on that elderly server you have that was manufactured in 1999, 2000, or 2001, and paid $15,000 for. But you can't let the emotional pull of having spent that $15,000 four years ago on a

few processor performance questions
Good day, I have an athlon thunderbird 1.2ghz processor and I'm looking forward to overclocking it. My plans are to buy a new motherboard that supports raising the core voltage, fsb or even the multiplier. I have looked at some stores selling motherboard for socketA(462) processors and found out that those new motherboards mostly have fsb of 400 mhz and supporting memory modules upto pc333-400mhz. Also with 8x agp slot. My question is, if I were to buy this kind motherboard with a specified FSB of let's say upto 400+mhz and I equiped it with let's say, PC333 DDR, and if I were to put an 8x video card to it, given that my processor can only run as much as 1.33 ghz(but only when overclocked), will I be able to gain anything with it? Or should I just stick to an old mobo with 4x agp and fsb of 133? Thanks a lot. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I want to use FreeBSD for our robotics club. I am a programmer so what i want to know is what would be better for us to use Windows XP or FreeBSD. For the most part we want to go with FreeBSD. SO use FreeBSD. It is a very good system and if you stick with it and take the time and effort to learn about it, you will be rewarded by knowing much more about how a real system works and how to control things precisely as you want. You are unlikely to do that very well with MSwin. Also the text scares some members so what would be better for us to use KDE or gnome. What would you suggest for us to compile with on freebsd. i want to use C++. would bloodshed c++ run on FreeBSD. By text, do you mean a command line environment? First of all, it gives you better specific and detailed control of your system. Secondly, you quickly learn to use command line stuff as second nature and will find yourself becoming impatient with the fancier windows-like way of managing the system. Third, it is completely possible to create a GUI type of environment for some specific thing such as manipulating a device. As for KDE or Gnome, I would suggest that you just try them out and see what works best for you - I rarely use either, but stick with a more basic X-Win environment. All of KDE, Afterstep and Gnome and maybe some others can co-exist on the same system with each user choosing which they prefer and switching from one to another as it suits them. It takes a little longer and a little more initial effort to learn FreeBSD. But, the rewards are significant and long lasting. jerry Thank you Nathan J.
