Re: Migrate primary disk (duplicate)
I made several tests. the exact problem is to install the freebsd boot manager. But your fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 should have done that. I'm not sure if it has defaults that would work for you though. boot0cfg tells you what defaults it will use and lets you change them. I agree with you that fdisk and boot0cfg ?!should!? have done that. I tried a lot of different commands: fdisk -B... fdisk -b /boot/boot0... boot0cfg -B ... boot0cfg -b /boot/boot0 ... If I use any command line utility to restore the boot manager, it doesnt work. Does any include boot0cfg? yes If I use /stand/sysinstall, choose fdisk and Install the FreeBSD boot Manager, it works What is the exact command line for this? Depends upon what you want. Read boot0cfg manpage; it's short. I used this once: boot0cfg -Bv -o packet,noupdate -s 3 -t ad0 I'll try this this evening. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to test if online?
Hi all, I am using a FreeBSD box as an DSL router. Sometimes the inet connection does down and ppp is unable to reconnect. I want to detect via a cron script if I am online and if not reinitilize the connection. The script works ok when run manually, but when executed from cron it sometimes reinitializes the connection even when it is not neccessary. Now my question would be how I could improve the script, or if there is a better way. As you can see from the script I am not really a programmer, but I tried what I could. #!/bin/sh if !(/sbin/ping -c 1 freebsd.org) then /usr/bin/killall ppp /bin/sleep 1 /sbin/ifconfig xl1 down /sbin/ifconfig xl1 up /bin/sleep 1 /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat tdsl fi - thanks in advance Christian Tischler ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IPFILTER NAT for UDP
Hi, I've the following problem (or perhaps some misunderstanding) of IPFILTER and NAT for NTP in FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1: the NAT rules is: map em1 xxx.xxx.xxx.32/27 - A.B.C.D/32 and the IPF rule is: pass out log first quick on em1 proto udp from any to any port = 123 keep state If now some host of the xxx.xxx.xxx.32/27 network ask for NTP with /usr/sbin/ntpdate -v NTP-SERVER-ADDR it works fine; the UDP pkg goes out, UDP comes back and a 'ipnat -l' showes the entry in the NAT table on the firewall like this: # ipnat -l | fgrep 123 MAP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx123 - - A.B.C.D 123 [NTP-SERVER-ADDR 123] The problem is now, if I'm using the same 'ntpdate' query while sitting on the firewall A.B.C.D itself, the UDP goes out as well but of course without passing through NAT and the UDP pkg which is coming back from the same NTP-SERVER-ADDR finds the tuple in the NAT table: A.B.C.D 123 [NTP-SERVER-ADDR 123] and is trying to deliver it via NAT to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, but of course the state in the IPFILTER is invalid which let ipf blocking the pkg and saying: 10:22:16.895810 em1 @0:30 b NTP-SERVER-ADDR,123 - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,123 PR udp len 20 76 IN NAT What can I do?

unable to find /dev/ad0s1b in /dev/ *resolved*
Hello, would like to post the solution of the problem I encountered during the net install of freebsd 5.3 on a compaq deskpro, because I have nowhere found a solution for that problem (maybe it is pretty silly?!?). The installation is done via the pxe driver of the installed machine. The kernel is booting normally, then the mfsroot is loaded and then is loaded the install.cfg file that have to configure and the install the selected packages. The problem was that once the disk slice and the labels set up, there was a strange error unable to find device node for /dev/ads01b in dev! The creation of the file system will be aborted In the same time on the second console there are messages telling me evethyng is alright. DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions DEBUG: Found Swapdev ad ad0s1b! So the clue is that you don't have to do a diskPartitionWrite in your install.cfg Once this line is commented no more problems for me.

Hi
so, why all this scripting?? you could simply use the following line to
get the next free uid (as long as the system is configured to use LDAP
accounts)
pw usernext | cut -f1 -d:
the 'cut' is necessary as 'pw usernext' reports the next free uid:gid in
combination (is this a bug??)
pw groupnext
reports only the next free gid

polling decreases throughput ~50%
Hello, I've noticed something that seems strange to me and I'd like to ask for an explanation, because I don't think it should be happening. I was uploading some large file to my neighbor's windows box. With polling disabled, the transfer rate was 8 MB/s and CPU usage was 90%. I turned on polling with sysctl and CPU usage decreased to 50%, which I expected, but also the transfer rate dropped to 4.5 MB/s, about half. The numbers are approximate. The interface is a RealTek (rl driver). No background jobs were running. kern.polling.* all defaults. Why is that? I thought polling should decrease CPU usage by avoiding too many context switches when a hw irq is generated frequently, but it shouldn't make the transfer slower if there are no other jobs running.

Re: Install freebsd in PocketPC?
unfortunately theres no support for the array of arm processors usually used in the palm pdas. I know that netbsd supports windows ce based pdas that use a mips based system and the usual HP iPAQ (hpcarm), but unfortunately the processors used in most palms dont include a MMU (memory management unit) This pretty much represents the support for virtual memory, which netbsd needs to run.

Because everyone has own environment and not enough details about
his/her environment give many solutions, sometimes not optimal for
another environment. Yours idea is good (if LDAP accounts work on
the system), especially that pw uses bitmap to find first unused UID
(if reuseuids is 'yes').
the 'cut' is necessary as 'pw usernext' reports the next free uid:gid in
combination (is this a bug??)

Re: Cores and crashes on 4.X and 5.X
You are probably doing the upgrade wrong. You did read the notes at the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING, right? You mean : If you find this document useful, and you want to, you may buy the author a beer. Cause if so, I'll buy him one when/if he wants. Otherwise, I'm doing everything the same I've done for YEARS, the same on about 100 production servers that ran 4.X and 5.X . This seems to just be happening on 2 different laptops, and only since I upgraded them to the most current of 4.X for the 1, and 5.X of the other. My script I use is : cvsup -g -L 2 ./stable-supfile (cd /usr/src;make buildworld) (cd /usr/src; make buildkernel KERNCONF=TOSHIBA) echo Press ENTER to install kernel read c (cd /usr/src;make installkernel KERNCONF=TOSHIBA) echo Need to reboot Then echo Press ENTER to mergemaster read a mergemaster -p echo Press ENTER to installworld read b (cd /usr/src;make installworld) echo Press ENTER to mergemaster read c mergemaster echo REBOOT Any way to track this down... HELP! Well, try the upgrade again. buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, reboot with the new kernel, mergemaster -p, installworld, mergemaster. I did this on the 4.X system, and I had to do the installworld a few times since I got things like : Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: pid 413 (hostname), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: pid 412 (csh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: pid 413 (hostn ame), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: Jul 27 09:23:14 toshiba /kernel: pid 412 (csh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) But eventually got it to take.

Re: CAM SCSI, finding out bus ID, target and LUN
On Tue, Aug 02, 2005 at 16:32:00 +0200, Reinhold Huber wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get bus ID, target and LUN to an open fd which is afaik opened to the device special file, e.g. /dev/cd0 . So how do I get the information? Up to now, I didn't find IOCTL calls (like in NetBSD) which deliver this kind of info, and first tries to browse in CAM examples didn't help either. I tried on FreeBSD 5.3 and currently hope that there are no big changes to this between 5.3 and 5.4 or even -current. If I'm wrong with this, please correct me. Any pointer to docs or source is welcome. (For this sort of query you might get better answers from the freebsd-scsi list, CCed.) You could try issuing the CAMGETPASSTHRU ioctl. Unfortunately it was broken for the cd(4) driver before 5.4 when there is no media in the drive. It will give you the pass(4) instance associated with that particular cd(4) instance. It doesn't work for the da(4) driver, since the GEOM code has taken over the ioctl routine for that driver. It should work for the cd(4), ch(4), pass(4), pt(4), sa(4) and ses(4) drivers. The CCB header for the XPT_GDEVLIST CCB returned from the CAMGETPASSTHRU ioctl should have the correct path, target and LUN if that's all you want. (The pass driver instance and unit number are in the payload.) If you want something that works consistently across all CAM peripheral drivers, you'll need to know the device name and unit number of the device you're talking to. Then you can open its associated pass(4) device with cam_open_spec_device(3). If you just have the device path name, you can try cam_open_device(3). It will attempt to parse out the path name for you. In either case, the cam_device structure returned will also have the path, target and LUN for the device. One obvious prerequisite for all of this is that you have to know ahead of time that you're talking to a CAM device. These mechanisms don't work otherwise.

Networking with FreeBSD
Hello Everyone. We are going to be connecting our Stores to our Main Head Office Via Fiber. We want to separate our Internal Lan from the store computers.

And 4 Networks in Total inside of out Head Office. 10.10.10.1 - Pixel Replication Server 192.168.1.1 - Web Based Server [Delivery Server] 192.168.100.1 - File Server Including Internet Users. 192.168.0.1-254 [ Lan ]. The store computers that need to access specific servers, are only on that network. For example. Store 1, Computer 1 Needs to Replicate [he will have an ip of 10.10.10.105] Store 1, Computer 2 [The Delivery Pc]. he will have an ip of 192.168.1.105 Store 1, Computer 3 Will access the File Server by having an ip of 192.168.100.105. Now the Risk involved with this is we have no Real Security, For Example. A Malicious user can easily change his ip address to 192.168.0.105 For Example and Get on our Head Office Internal Network.

Sendmail 8.13.3 and FreeBSD 4.11 local mail problem
I'm having an odd problem on a server running Sendmail 8.13.3 under 4.11. I've set up sendmail with a set of DNSBLs, local host names, access table for relaying from a static IP, virtusertable, and authenticated relaying.

Hello, I've got a 5.4 box, that was working fine until it somehow lost it's correct date. A port upgrade was atempted while in this state then when it failed, it was handed off to me to fix. THe problem is in the f-prot-sig package, it's not updating it's either wanting v 20050705 or 20050730 it says 20050730 is install but a portversion -l shows f-prot-sig still needing updating. I tried just updating that package with portupgrade f-prot-sig and it said the package wasn't updated because it was already marked as ignored. I'm hoping i don't have to uninstall and reinstall the packages on this box, any help appreciated. Thanks.

Also, no one outside of the network can just change their IP address to 192.168.0.x because the 192.168.x.y IP address blocks are reserved as Class C addresses which under all correct implementations of IP physically inaccessible outside the network.

Also, no one outside of the network can just change their IP address to 192.168.0.x because the 192.168.x.y IP address blocks are reserved as Class C addresses which under all correct implementations of IP physically inaccessible outside the network. Therefore, that isn't so much of an issue... however, it still doesn't hurt to have a firewall because you don't want someone tunnelling in and wreaking havok on your network.

Dell PowerEdge1850 Won't Take a Freebsd4.11 Installation.
I just powered up a shiny new Dell Poweredge 1850 with the idea of installing FreeBSD4.11 on it. Everything started out okay until I got to the part in the Standard Installation where it was going to extract the distributions just after formatting the disk, actually the hardware raid disks. At that point, every single distribution prompted the message that roughly goes: User Information. Unable to extract blablabla from acd0. So far, game over. A 750 server which also has a RAID controller is, so far, taking the installation perfectly. The CDROM drive works well enough to boot and the boot process looks right until I try to extract the distributions such as /bin, etc. Are there any other things to investigate before saying that 4.11 and Dell 1850's don't get along?

Syntax error on line 237 of /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/etc/apache2/mod_ext_filter.so into server: Cannot open /usr/local/etc/apche2/mod_ext_filter.so ^ That is a typo, and the complete path in there is wrong as well - apache2 modules go into /usr/local/libexec/apache2 by default. I have no idea what exactly you downloaded, but I have the suspicion it was not a binary package. Did you extract the archive yourself and did configure, make, make install in the dir you got? If so, you should go there again and do make uninstall. The actual binary package of apache2 for FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE is ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/All/apache-2.0.53_1.tbz You can install it with pkg_add. You can also just do pkg_add -r apache2 and FreeBSD will automatically fetch and install a binary package of apache2 for you.

samba 3 and local wheel group membership
[DISCLAIMER: The box in question is a CentOS machine but wheel group usage isn't common in the Linux world so I'm hoping another FreeBSD user has run into this.] I have a box at work running Samba 3 which I have added as a domain member to an existing Windows domain with a Windows (I believe NT4) PDC. The box running Samba has no local unix users and groups except for root and the other builtin accounts. All user authentication is done through pam_winbind and user information is handled by inbind. What I would like to do is have users that are members of the Windows domian's Server Admin group gain membership to the local unix wheel group when they login via ssh to the domain member. This is mainly to make sudo happy which doesn't seem to like group names with spaces in them. I've read chapters 11 and 12 of the Samba How-To but their instructions appear to be geared towards mapping a domain group to a unix group from the PDC running Samba. I've tried the following on the domain member running Samba based on the How-To: net groupmap add unixgroup=wheel ntgroup=Server Admin But when I ssh in as my user and run `groups` I do not see myself as a member of the wheel group. I also can't alter files with wheel write permissions. Has someone else setup their box so domain users that are members of a particular Windows domain group become members of the local unix wheel group upon login? Should I be making changes directly on the PDC and not through Samba to accomplish this? Thanks.

Re: Wireless access points for FreeBSD 4.3?
--- Chuck Swiger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyway, if you are stuck using 4.3 for unimaginable reasons, I suspect the atheros or PRISM-2/2.5 chipsets are what you are looking for. Yeah, I'm stuck using 4.3. I'd update if I could, but unfortunately I can't. Your question doesn't make it entirely clear whether you are looking for a wireless card/NIC for a FreebSD machine to talk to a base station, or whether you are having an issue sending traffic to or from a wired FreeBSD machine to some other Linux box via basestation to wireless...? I'm sorry, I assumed wireless access point = base station. Yes, I'm sending traffic from a wired FreeBSD machine to a wireless Linux box via a base station. It may be the case that you want to bridge or NAT a wireless subnet onto your LAN, but you should consult your basestation's docs for how to do that; FreeBSD would use nothing but normal TCP/IP routing to the basestation. Please correct me if I'm wrong... FreeBSD 4.3 doesn't care what type of base station I use, as long as I can configure the base station to make them see each other? 'Cause that's my real problem, as we only have relatively new base stations in the lab, and I don't know if 4.3 will work with them. If they won't then should I start scrounging about for older base stations?
