Yoxel.Com
Hello FreeBSD team, We have been working on an interesting project here at Yoxel.Com. It is a project management service called Release Planning System which allows software developing teams to: - collaboratively create a release plan based on deadline, effort estimates and priorities. - track implementation of the release - track testing phase of the release - generate various release reports and charts This service automates most of the planning, prioritizing and resource allocation tasks that many software developing teams do manually these days. It is intended to greatly simplify current software project management processes. RPS is in 'beta' now and we would like to start engaging with development teams to prove the concept and work out the details. Do you think RPS could be of any interest for your projects (or sub-projects)? I appreciate your time, Alexey Panteleev ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Sendmail help needed
Hello, Thanks for the help. The thing is that our main mailserver is not able to work with reports from only one address. It has a db with some names that match [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then send the reports to the respective persons/mailing lists. So the basics of the question is: Is it possible to get every mail (including local mail) redirected to one domain with MX lookup? I've been reading about LUSER_RELAY, LOCAL_RELAY, stickyhost, but I don't know if this will solve the problem.

URGENT -- AP #1 (PHY #1) failed -- what does this mean?
Hi Sorry for the URGENT line. I have a critical server running 5.4- RELEASE-p1. It is a dual AMD MP 2800+ (Gigabyte board) with 4GB RAM and an Adaptec 2100S raid controller. Running (obviously) an SMP kernel. I recompiled the kernel this afternoon and changed one line -- the options HZ line from HZ=1100 to HZ=400 as a test of PHP performance. That was the only thing changed (the machine had been up since I installed 5.4 on it June 1). I built and installed the kernel and tonight I rebooted the machine. Now when it boots it comes up and real memory = 3758030848 (3583 MB) avail memory = 3678240768 (3507 MB) ACPI APIC Table: GBT AWRDACPI AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed! panic y/n?

Any advice is welcome. Wha?!?! Win98?!?! are you insane? No, of course I'm not ;-) Win98se runs perfectly well on new machines and the fact is that a lot of games that I like very much *don't* run on XP. Period. The older commandconquer series i.e. and lots of pointclick adventures that my wife is font of. Of course, the newer games do run on XP, but most of them also run very smooth (even smoother) on W98. Windows just for gaming to me means w98se. It's faster, smoother and smaller. I'll bring it up to modern standards though by installing the unofficial SP2 for windows98se. This gives hundreds of changes under the hood. It's programmed by very well skilled programmers (a bit like the ones of tweakui, which is not bad either). W98se systems w/ SP2 are very stable and have the looks of windows2000. Not bad at all for a couple of years more. I agree, if you want more (other) things like audio/movie etc.. go for windows2000 or XP. That's why I have all three of them. FreeBSD (to me is my main system); w98 is the gaming engine; XP is for multimedia which is still a bit difficult in the *nix world. The only thing I could see justifying that would be playing PSX games with bleem (since it was only supported on 98), and that's it. Doing that, that is what I'd call slow. With today's prices you should play PSX games on a psx1 (modified). Not only that, 98 wasn't built with today's hardware, so all in all it will be EXCEPTIONALLY slow performance wise. Heh. I remember running win98 on a faster P3 and the fact that it was so horribly slow. Finding support for modern hardware is sometimes a little difficult, but up to now I always managed to find the right drivers. I always use kind of standard hardware (like nvidia, creativ, etc). Up and running I ghost the machine and all games run fast and smooth. Like I said earlier, smoother than under XP. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Sendmail help needed
Hello Glenn, The odds of the reporting system are not of my fully knowledge, I just know how and what mails go from where to who. Imagine that a script on a reporting machine does this: # mailx -s ERROR_FOUND_IN_PROC_SYNC syncproj It will try to deliver the mail locally, as suposed to. If I define a central hub or a Smart host it will deliver the mail I exampled to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it works fine. The problem is that it won't lookup the mailhub MX record, It will send it directly to mailhub:25. Now imagine that mailhub is down? There is a backup server listed as an MX record for the mailhub domain with a higher pref that would take the work while mailhub prefered MX is down. I've been reading a little more and I think there is some kind of feature/option that force a MX lookup on the mailhub host.

I will buy a Geforce-6600GT videocard (offer most for less money..) PCI-E will give you much better performance on modern games and you can have two cards IIUC, but I do not know about FreeBSD compatibility. I went for 6600GT AGP which I am more than happy with (but I tend to buy games 2-3 years after they were popular :-)). I will run FreebSD on it (compile a lot of ports) and (windows-xp/98se) for gaming. Are you sure 98se will support A64? Also just about to run out of support from MS (if it hasn't already). XP does have 95 and 98 compatibility mode for games etc. but I can't say how well it works. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can someone clarify ipfw's in/out/recv/xmit/via concepts?
Dave McCammon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Here is a link to a thread that help me to understand the in/out/recv/xmit stuff. Thanks guys. I think I've got most of it now. Incoming packets are those entering the OS kernel implementing the ipfw firewall, but not necessarily those entering the ipfw firewall each time the kernel uses it. Outgoing packets are those leaving. Depending upon firewall config, the firewall can test packets one or two times as they enter the kernel, considering them as incoming, and one or two times as they exit the kernel, considering them as outgoing. (See ipfw diagram.) An exception is that when bridging, it tests packets only once, considering them as incoming only. (The latter based on my tests.) When it tests an incoming packet it doesn't try to predict which interface it will be transmitted on (not sure why, if NAT isn't on), so in rules don't match against an xmit interface. When it tests an outgoing packet, it knows which interface it was received on and which interface it will be transmitted on so out rules may match against both recv and xmit interfaces. Using via if0 is like using three rules: in recv if0, out xmit if0, and out recv if0. Using out via if0 is like using two rules: out xmit if0 and out recv if0. Using in via if0 is like using in recv if0. I'm not claiming that the above is any better than the manpage; I'm just trying to quickly hang some simple facts out there to be shot down if untrue. (Maybe someday I'll set up a routing firewall to test more of them than I have yet.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Downside: bad ACPI: power down works, suspend untested, thermal info completely missing. acpidump -t produces acpidump: RSDT entry 2 (sig OEMB) is corrupt before reading everything. However, apic works afaik. Only one HDD activity connector There is an SLI version but I have no idea if that's FreeBSD compatible. Runs FreeBSD i386 5.4 just fine. My experience in choosing motherboards is that only a motherboard with virtually nothing on it is fully supported. When I chose this one the gigabit ethernet wasn't supported, but that just wasn't important enough to me. Then support came along :-) Overall, I am happy because I haven't seen anything else that would be better.

Re: Problems with booting MBR
Alle 11:16, giovedì 28 luglio 2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: In the first disk ad0 (master) of a computer at office I had installed linux to be used as a postgresql server. Later I installed FreeBSD 5.4 (just to have a go at it) on a partition of the second disk ad1 (slave) to be a postgrresql server too. Linux lilo was the boot loader, booting linux by default and freebsd. Now, convinced of the high quality of the latter I eliminated linux from the first disk unfortunately without modifying lilo, and reshuffled the FreeBSD filesystem as in my latest /etc/fstab using also the first disk: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad1s2b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad1s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1a /usr/local ufs rw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw 0 0 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 Now, even though I read the booting procedure in the handbook and somewhere else in the internet, issuing the various fdisk -b B, disklabel -b .., boot0cfg .., I was completely unable to modify the MBR and make this FreeBSD only computer boot directly into this OS. What should I do with the configuration I have? A straightforward and step by step explanation is highly appreciated. P.S. Is it possible that some problems can arise by the fact that I used an a slice (ad0s1a)for mounting /usr/local and freebsd starts from ad1s1a? Friends, as suggested in the docs in the internet I tried both with # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0 fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory and with # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad1 fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad1: No such file or directory WHILST my working /etc/fstab is, as I mentioned before: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/ad1s2b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad1s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1a /usr/local ufs rw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw 0 0 Why FreeBSD 5.4 cannot find /dev/ad0 and ad1?

Re: Large filesystem woes
The resolution to this problem turned out to be enabling the 3Ware 9500S auto carving option. This splits all partitions into 2TB chunks, which are then presented to the OS as separate LUNs. FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE's driver for the 3Ware card does not support multiple LUNs, but the new driver (Common Layer) in 5.4-STABLE does. So if you're running in to this same problem, here's a quick run down of what you need to do: 1) Enable auto-carving in either the 3ware BIOS or in the 3dm web control panel. 2) Delete and then re-create any RAID that is larger than 2TB, that you want accessable from the OS. If you have sufficient drives available, you can migrate the data to a new RAID, instead of deleting. 3) Install 5.4-RELEASE. sysinstall will show you a single 2TB device. Feel free to use that device however you wish -- you can fill it to its boundaries. 4) cvsup to 5.4-STABLE, make buildworld buildkernel installkernel, reboot. 5) You'll now see da1 and perhaps da2 and beyond, in dmesg or camcontrol devlist. If you should ever have to reboot into the 5.4-RELEASE GENERIC kernel, the da1..n partitions will be unavailable. da0, however, will operate normally. As such it is safe to use as a boot device. (For sanity's sake it is probably best to create a much smaller slice or partition for system files, but that's your decision). ___ 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 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.

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.

scanimage -L doesn't work as normal user
Hi, I just bought an Epson 2480 scanner. I'm currently at trying to make things work for ordinary users, sane-find-scanner works for normal users, but scanimage doesn't. Following the instruction I run as root: # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0121 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0 # scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner And I have even succesfully scanned the warranty in pnm. Then as ordinary user: $ sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0121 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0 $ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). I have tried to indicate the device for scanimage but with no result: $ scanimage -d libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0 scanimage: open of device libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0 failed: Invalid argument Then I have tried to remove one of the devices and to change libusb with snapscan which is supposedly the backend driver. Any clues?

dualboot winxp freebsd
Hi, it seems it's so common knowledge to achieve this, that there isn't any info anywhere about it. So, I have a winxp hard disk at the end of a sata pci-card, and freebsd harddisk straight in the motherboard ide connection. So if both are connected, freebsd starts, and if I take cabled off the freebsd harddisk, windows starts. I cannot choose it from the bios that windows would make it first. So that rules out the solution from handbook, where it's done vice versa. Secondly, I wouldn't want any gag or grub or any other external programs; I'm quite sure freebsd's own bootloader can do it without problems. Question remains: how? I vaguely remember I had done it before.

Re: why tun/tap but instead ordinary ethernet device (eg. fxp)
Hello, first, please _do_not_ cross post. second, please use appropriate mailing list. i have redirected this thread to freebsd-questions@ this type of question comes up quite often. its really simple: a single read(2) call on /dev/tapX will return entire ethernet frame (if any) received by tap interface (minus ethernet crc). a single write(2) call on /dev/tapX will put entire ethernet frame (w/out ethernet crc) onto tap interface outgoing queue. so, the buf parameter to the write(2) call on /dev/tapX device should point to a buffer with *complete* ethernet frame, including ethernet header and payload. payload could be IP packet, but it does not have to be. any protocol that uses ethernet as transport can be tunneled with tap(4) (i.e. ipx). the above is true for tun(4) with exception that tun(4) operates on IP packets. so you have to write/read complete IP packets to/from /dev/tun. Thanks for the detail explaination. As man tap pointed out, one can use tap drive as if using a pty device. I m not aware the obvious advantage of using tap over ordinarlly ethernet device for tunnelling programming (another example is ipsec). It may be because programming on tun/tap is alot of efficient and simpler. Can anyone pleaese explain? tun(4)/tap(4) _do_not_ use pty(4) device. they provide functionality similar to pty(4). you seem to be confused about about the concept, or i'm not understanding your question. the main purpose of the tun(4)/tap(4) is to provide _virtual_ network interface, either ip only (tun) or ethernet (tap). the key word here is /virtual/. both tun and tap are dual in their nature. on one side network interface, on the other - character device. from the network subsystem point of view the system has network interface (either ip or ethernet), so you can assign ip address, netmask, routing etc. just like with any other interface. when the network subsystem sends packet out on the interface instead of physically transmit packet over the wire tun/tap interface loopbacks it back to the user space via character device. what you do with this packet is up to you. openvpn and vtun encrypt the packet/shape it/etc. and send it over another (physical) interface to the remote host. you actually send the tun/tap packet as payload within another packet. the remote system does the reverse. it extracts payload (tun/tap packet), decrypts it, etc. and then writes it back into the character device. this will put the packet on the tun/tap interface and the network subsystem will think that is has received packet from the tun/tap interface. another example is ppp daemon. ppp is a serial protocol, that is ip packets are payload within ppp frames transmitted over the serial link. what ppp daemon does is: it receives ppp frame over the serial link, extract ip packet and writes it to the tun character device. the system thinks that is has just received ip packet from the tun interface. when the system sends ip packet out on the tun interface ppp daemon gets the same packet from the character device, puts it into ppp frame and sends it over the serial link. thus the system acts as if it was connected to the ip network with the real interface, but in fact you do not even have to have a network card (i.e. no real network interface). With vtun or openvpn, why they don't just simply use ordinary ethernet device driver but prefer tun or tap for tunneling or bridging network remote connection? Is it because applicaiton use tap or tun can send interrupt (with ioctl) to the remote client more efficiently? if so, can anyone please tell me what kind of efficiency does tun/tap over an ordianry ethernet device in terms of network programming? tun/tap both have overhead, because you have to pass network packets back and force between kernel and userspace. that is the downside. the upside is simplicity and flexibility. thanks, max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Shell scripts, SSH sessions, and for loops, oh my!
Hi,
You need to escape the metacharacters, so $ will be \$.
Double quotes expand variables, single quotes do not, sou cou could
just put it all in single quotes. The local system will see the $ as a
literal, but the remote system will see it as a variable.
Hope this helps some.

Growisofs seg faults with DVD-RAM. Anybody else seen this?
I was trying to use growisofs to write to a DVD-RAM and it kept seg faulting. It worked fine with a DVD-R. I tracked the problem down to place in the code where growisofs tries to perform an operation on a file handle it has already closed. I've implemented a workaround already. The problem is, that by my reckoning, this should affect anybody who is trying to use a DVD-RAM (not DVD+RW) with FreeBSD, but I haven't found any references to the problem on the net. I'm wondering if anybody else has seen this problem, and if you've found some other workaround for it? Or alternatively, you still have the problem and my patch would be useful to you. :-) By the way, I'm running Freebsd 5.4 Release and I'm using dvd+rw-tools 5.21.4.10.8 with an ATAPI DVD burner configured to be /dev/cd1.
