UDF and CD-RW
Hi All! I'm trying to use packet writing software on FreeBSD. The FreeBSD counterpart of the Linux udftools package is the udfclient port. However, I cannot use it. It does not allow me to create a new filesystem, telling me that I need to packet-format first. But I don't know how to do that. Can you please help?

smbfs on 5.4 broken?
Hello, freebsd-questions. The upgrade from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE to FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE breaks something in smbfs. I have a windows network share, which is mounted without problems from 4.11, 5.3 FreeBSD boxes, also works somehow from Linux boxes. But after cvsup and kernel rebuild the ex-5.3 box, now 5.4-box can not connect the share no more. The mount command says: smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer Yet I look it with tcpdump: NBT Packet NBT Session Request Flags=0x8100 Destination= NBT Packet NBT SessionReject Flags=0x8301 Reason=0x8F Unspecified error 0x8F And I notice that the 5.3-box and 4.11-box did it a bit differently: NBT Packet NBT Session Request Flags=0x8144 Destination= And I suppose that the difference in flags is very very important. I even reproduced it under VMWare. I did a fresh minimal installation with sources of 5.3-RELEASE, made changes to /etc/fstab and /etc/nsmb.conf, and mounted the share. Then I cvsup-ed, did kernel rebuild and the error reproduced. Why smbfs is broken, and what should I do. -- Oles mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make sysinstall
Hi there, I try to make a custom installation of FreeBSD 5.3 in a way that there are no questions during the process but rather it detects the hard disk size makes the partitions etc... For the moment I smply try to compile sysinstall (cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysintall make all) and it compiles without any problem. The size on the output file is about 1,2M. The problem comes when I put it in a mfsroot file and when it loads on startup. The sysinstall simply don't start. In the same time on the secont vty after 20secs I got a messages like process NNN killed. no swap available or something like it. So my question is is there a correct manner to make the sysinstall (like going to /usr/src and then make everything around). The original size is about 2.2 Megs and the one I got is about a 1meg less. It is compiled staticly (NOSHARED=yes it have to mean that no??) For the moment i don't touch the code. Just compile it to try. The newly compiled sysinstall is running when it is executed from the directory where it is situated (like ./sysintall). Hm I thing thats all I have like symptoms. Any suggestions? Or better is there a way to script an Auto partitioning of the hard disk without touching the code. thanks and good luck to allz Ivo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With passwd: files nis, nis is checked if the user isn't in the local passwd file, and you can't use netgroups. Also remember to change the group: line in nsswitch.conf to match, and remove the + line from /etc/groups. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone successfully running FreeBSD on a HP Proliant DL385?
Hi all, I've just been to the FreeBSD Proliant website http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle/ I also checked the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive, apart from John Cagle's welcome message it's empty. Before I ask him I want to turn to this list. Judging by the variety of tools available on the site it doesn't look that bad for FreeBSD on these machines. But I'm still interested whether anyone's already running FreeBSD STABLE on a DL385, maybe even with ~3GB RAM, an Opteron CPU, ~4 SCSI disks in a RAID-5 array hosted by the onboard Smart Array 6i chip, a hot-swappable DAT72 tape drive, and iLO. Are all devices working well, are the HDDs and the tape drive hot-swappable, is the iLO working as it should? Any issues? I'd really like to drive this machine with FreeBSD, but I can't afford to waste more than 3 days testing functionality before it has to be productive. So I'd be really thankful for any information on this combination.

question about compile options
I am wondering how to know what compile options are available for a given ports package. For instance I want to compile /usr/ports/www/php4-cgi with support for mysql and fastcgi, but looking in the port, all there exists is a Makefile containing little information. There are no subdirectories. Subdirectories are created during the make, but then presumably the default options have already been followed, leaving out mysql.

Re: Tripwire Policy File and 5.4
The policy file looks to be updated for 5.x systems now. Tripwire's back. I'm not so convinced of that - after a cvsup of ports overnight, this remains: # ll /usr/ports/security/tripwire/files/twpol.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 20651 Mar 5 2002 /usr/ports/security/tripwire/files/twpol.txt Last time I tried, Tripwire was still unable to perform an interactive update, which is no great inconvenience but doesn't really inspire confidence. The only improvement I've noticed since the first 5.x is that it at least compiles now - given the lack of effective replacements for Tripwire this is the least we could expect. Not being able to package this port has been a real trial, however, and I don't believe that it wouldn't be possible with a bit of consideration - no, I'm not volunteering right now as more important things are pressing me.

How to tell if /usr/obj is up to date?
Hi, (repost - I think my first go was lost) Is there any way to use make in /usr/src to tell if my object tree is up to date? Situation: I cvsup my sources and do the make buildworld / buildkernel / installkernel / installworld steps. Later, I cvsup again to update for a vul that doesn't require world to be rebuilt (such as FreeBSD-SA-05:16.zlib) and install. Now, for instance, a newer update for zlib is available and I'll naturally have to repeat the previous step. However, hypothetically if for no other reason, is it possible to tell, after getting my sources up to date again, if this new revision has already been built and hence is now in the object tree or do I have to do it all over again to be sure? In this case, if I run make -n in /usr/src/lib/libz/ should this report differently depending on whether /usr/obj is up to date or not? thanks, joel -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst| Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

two domains, one as a slave (domain.com), another subdomain of that slave as
a master (office.domain.com). for the most part it works just fine, but
every once in a while, Konqueror will complain that the site can't be found.
When this happens though, all I have to do is click on the link again, and I
get the site in question.
As a test, I did a for loop in Bash with a bunch of host lookups for random
names. Of the 21 hosts I picked at random, all but two returned without
errors. The second time i ran the same command though, all 21 returned just
fine. The errors I got were:
$ host www.fireflyfans.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ host www.jossisahottie.com
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 5615, got 47281
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 5615, got 47281
www.jossisahottie.com is an alias for jossisahottie.com.
jossisahottie.com has address 209.59.140.58
Forgive me, I had Buffy on the brain ;-) The fact that both of these domains
resolved just fine the second time through tells me it's not their fault, so
I'm left trying to figure out what I did wrong. My named.conf file is below
if any of you can help out.
$ cat /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
pid-file/var/run/named/pid;
dump-file /var/dump/named_dump.db;
statistics-file /var/stats/named.stats;
// listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
// listen-on-v6{ ::1; };
forward only;
forwarders {
// 127.0.0.1
ip of one known to be good nameserver;
};
};
zone . {
type hint;
file named.root;
};
zone 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA {
type master;
file master/localhost.rev;
};
zone
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA {
type master;
file master/localhost-v6.rev;
};
zone
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.INT {
type master;
file master/localhost-v6.rev;
};
// private zone files follow
...
I watched the firewall during this test and there were not blockages on port
53 incoming or outgoing for the duration of the test, so I'm currently at a
loss. Thanks for any help you might have.

Re: which apache / php things to install?
On Tue, 9 Aug 2005, bob self wrote: I just installed FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE and am installing a few applications. I need apache with php, but I see many php-related packages (with portupgrade -v php5-\*). So then I tried portupgrade -v php5, but now it wants to know whether I want to use apache2 instead of apache 1.3. I've been using 1.3 on another machine with no problems. Is 2 now ok to use? I saw in /usr/ports that there is apache2, apache20, apache21. Which one of these should I install if I use apache2? What about the other php installation questions (debug and zend multibyte support)? From your questions I assume you want to run a small webserver for private/testing/experimenting purposes. apache21 is still beta but will do fine for you. You will have to enable apache2 support in php5 then. Everything else can be left with the default options. Don't forget to add apache2_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf :-) Regards, Uli. thanks, bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Peter Ulrich Kruppa - Wuppertal - Germany * * ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: very busy ftpd
I just noticed, that uploading a file over a LANG (at around 5.7Mb/s) resulted in around 25% CPU consumption by the ftpd. I think, that's unusual for a Pentium4 -- what is the process doing? Check the client does not use ascii mode when uploading (getc() vs read()). That's quite possible, indeed. I wouldn't put it past some users -- some still use the ancient ftp-clients, which default to text-mode transfers. Is there any way to disable this mode on the server, perhaps? Even if it violates the protocol :-/ Thanks! -mi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to limit the nat's stream speed?
Hi,ervery one! I use freebsd5.4+ipfw+natd to setup a box for sharing internet,it's work fine.But i have a very serious problem: Some computer of my inner user was attacked by virus,they make very big volume of stream to internet,so the natd will occupy almost all the cpu,the others can't visit internet at all !! Is there a solution to limit the natd's cpu occupancy or limit every user's stream speed? Any advice is welcome! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to tell if /usr/obj is up to date?
Hi, Is there any way to use make in /usr/src to tell if my object tree is up to date? Situation: I cvsup my sources and do the make buildworld / buildkernel / installkernel / installworld steps. Later, I cvsup again to update for a vul that doesn't require world to be rebuilt (such as FreeBSD-SA-05:16.zlib) and install. Now, for instance, a newer update for zlib is available and I'll naturally have to repeat the previous step. However, hypothetically if for no other reason, is it possible to tell, after getting my sources up to date again, if this new revision has already been built and hence is now in the object tree or do I have to do it all over again to be sure? In this case, if I run make -n in /usr/src/lib/libz/ should this report differently depending on whether /usr/obj is up to date or not? thanks, joel -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst| Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
