Re: FreeBSD 5.4 install problem. Newbee needs help.
William Manley [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am a new FreeBSD user and I have an installation that has gone bad. My problems started when I enabled XDM for a graphical logon into Gnome. When I logged in as root the system just looped back to the logon screen. I then assumed I had configured my .xinitrc file wrong so I booted the install cdrom into Fixit mode and tried to mount the root filesystem on the hardisk which the operating system would not let me do. The following are the commands I typed with the output. I don't use gnome or kde, but I'd think you'd want to use gdm for a gnome desktop or kdm for a kde desktop and if you want to use xdm, be prepared to do some reading and configuration to make it give you a Manley desktop. BTW, one usually tries to run as little software as possible as root mostly to limit damage caused by buggy (or I suppose infected) software or operator error. After you get your desktop running as a non-root user, some graphical programs will do needed things as root and/or you'll start up a terminal emulator like xterm with the shell run by root. KDE, at least, offers a root terminal, but you can switch from normal to root with the su command. mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt operation not permitted Not sure, but I wonder if /mnt is already in use. Try mkdir /ad0s1a; mount /dev/ad0s1a /ad0s1a disklabel -r ad0 no valid label found That -r is obsolete, but someone else explained the real problem. Does the warning tell me that my bios is not set up properly for FreeBSD to work with the hardisk setup. The handbook says to set up your bios to select hardisk's naturally. Before starting the install I looked at the bios and was not sure what to configure. Should I go to the basic page and set the hardisk as uninstalled? Any help in getting back into my system will be appreciated. If I have to reinstall I'll do it. If your install seemed to go OK and you've got a graphical login screen, you're probably in fair shape. You might want to try the install again and not use xdm. Or: You might need to tell us more about what you see at login. Try logging in as a normal user. Probably won't work any better. If the screen offers some other stuff, like a safe mode or single user mode, try that. Or try to interrupt the boot before you get to the graphical screen by tapping the space bar as soon as you see major changes in the kind of boot messages (eg, from BIOS to FreeBSD). If you can get the thing to give you a prompt, try help or ? and check that out and then try boot -s to get into single-user mode as root. If you manage to do that, or get things mounted from the CD or floppy fixit mode, you want to disable XDM, but I'm sorry I forget how that's done. Look it up on the net or ask. I think your goal is to get a normal non-graphical login prompt; log in as root and then read manual pages (or use web from another OS) until you figure out how to configure your Gnome setup using gdm. BTW, I know many insist on having a graphical login, but some of us have been using graphical desktops for 10 years and more and still log into a normal text terminal first and start the graphics with a command, maybe because we don't log in often and when we're logging in a lot it's usually because we're having problems and we don't want X then anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may take a look at ipfw(8) manpage and search for dummynet
configuration.
For example, if you know the offending IP, you can try something like
this:
kldload dummynet
ipfw pipe ${pipe-num} config bw ${max-bw}
ipfw add ${rule-num} pipe ${pipe-num} ip from ${offending-IP} to any
It's a very simple example, take it as a starting point.

samba 3 and local wheel group membership
Hello Tom, just came across your message when trying to find a solution for another problem... As far as I know 'net groupmap' never makes group members to show up in /etc/group. It just does a group mapping from UNIX world to SMB world. And this is what is mainly covered in the Samba docs. What you need imho is the other way around - somehow mapping SMB-groups into UNIX-groups. Here is my suggestion: 1. Map the group 'wheel' to a _local_ SMB-group using 'net groupmap ...' as you already tried. 2. Create a _global_ group in your NT domain containing your intended 'wheel' members. 3. Make the global group from step 2.) become a member of the local group from step in 1.) using 'net group ADD ...'. Don't worry what old Samba docs say, from a certain version on (tested it with v3.0.13) encapsulated group membership works. 4. Make sure winbindd is running on your Samba machine. This daemon is responsible for the group mapping. Explanation: The users also don't show up in /etc/group but the group membership is solved on the fly by winbindd. I found the details in the recent Samba-3-Howto on samba.org.

Re: Encrypted filesystem cgd
* vittorio [2005-08-10 12:26 +0200] Is there anything similar in FreeBSD? As far as I know, there is no encrypted filesystem support in FreeBSD. However, there are a couple of disk encryption systems in FreeBSD, GEOM and GELI. Both act between the disk and the filesystem layer, translating a disk into a (slightly smaller, but encrypted) disk, ontop of which you could put any supported filesystem. And by disk, I actually mean disk, partition, file or anything else you could put a filesystem on. GELI is quite new, and I'm not sure if it's in any releases yet. GEOM should be there though. Search the archives and the internet and manpages for more info.

RE: RTCoreBSD
Hi, I found this real-time OS based on BSD: http://www.sdcsystems.com/realtime-linux.htm#rtcorebsd I m wondering what technology they used to make FreeBSD as a real-time OS. I thought kqueue/kevent is a key component? any comment? Thanks Sam I think it's just that *old* rtlinux concept of having a hard real time kernel and running the operating system as some kind of an idle task above that. As far as I remember FSMLabs earlier press information talked about using NetBSD for that. Does current version of FreeBSD uses real-time scheduler at the kernel? If it does, which part of the code (in /usr/src) contains those code? Depends on what you mean. FreeBSD is no rtos, but has rtprio(1). It allows to have fixed process priorities in contrast to the usual 'varying' unix priorites. But it is still possible for a high priority process to be blocked by a lower priority process entering a system call for a non-deterministic amount of time. This is at least so for 4.X, but may be less true for 6.X whith the kernel becoming more and more preemptable.

xorg crashing with kde
Since the kde update went into ports about a week ago, I've been having a problem with xorg crashing. The problem occurs when a kde session is left in the background by a switch to either another x-server or to a virtual terminal, and it's left there long enough for the monitor standby timer to expire. The crash actually happens on switching back to the kde session. According to the system console the crash follows a stray irq13, and the xorg log indicates it died with signal 8. I cant find any other relevent logging. I installed xscreensaver to see if it could be reproduced under xfce, and it couldn't. I can work around the problem by turning off display power management in kde. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: fdisk maximum partition size
On Wed, 10 Aug 2005, Valerio daelli wrote: Hi all does anyone know any maximum limit to the slice size in freebsd? We would like to create a filesystem of 2.2T. Is there any limit in fdisk and bsdlabel? Thanks a lot fdisk does not support 2TB partitions -- at least, I've been unable to get it to work, just gives me zeros. From the advice I've read, what you'd be best off doing is skipping fdisk and labeling and just run newfs against the drive itself. IE: newfs /dev/da0 Of course, this means you will not be able to boot off of the large device. That's the price we pay for being on the cutting edge. There are still several utilities that do not yet handle large partitions -- the project page is available here: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/ Another option for you is available if you're using the 3Ware cards: you can enable auto-carving in its BIOS, to split the device into 2TB chunks. FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE can only read the first of these chunks, but if you update to 5.4-STABLE, with its new twa driver, you can access the other chunks. (* There may be a better term than chunks, but slices and partitions are already used interchangably (and non-interchangably), so I'm going with chunks.) This works out pretty well in practice except for having to divide files between mount points by hand. If you run into any panics or bugs about this please open PRs. There only seems to be a few of us FreeBSD users with multi-terabyte partitions and there are still some bugs to be worked out. You may not be able to get a kernel dump (I wasn't, even with 5.4-R and 1TB partitions (had to put the server into production before I could report this bug unfortunately)) but you could still get a backtrace for the developers to use. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/home on a separate slice on cloned system
Hi, I'm currently in the process of cloning FreeBSD-installations. Machines are (almost) identical - only HD-sizes are different. So I installed the master-system as follows: I set up two slices on the HD. The first slice contains /, swap, /var, /tmp, and /usr; the second slice only contains /home. During installation I installed the FreeBSD boot manager. Everything's running perfect on the master machine (besides the small issue that the FreeBSD boot manager lets me choose between two (!) installations - I assume this comes because I've got two slices). The next step was cloning: On the target machine (slave) I set up two FreeBSD partitions (i.e. slices in BSD-lingo: the first one exactly equal to the first slice on the master machine, the second one a little smaller. The cloning process itself went OK without problems - I cloned the first slice from the master- to the slave-machine. After copying over the data I only had to boot with the FreeBSD Install-CD on the slave-system one time in order to write the boot manager and the machine booted without problems. Now for the problem: Upon boot the slave machine says it can't find the /home-partition, i.e. hda2d, and goes into single-user mode. Sure enough once I comment out the respective entry in /etc/fstab the box runs without problems. In order to get /dev/hda2d mounted as root I've already tried writing the partition table (sysinstall - Index - Partition - w) and I've also labelled the disk (Sysinstall - Index - Label) but that didn't solve my problem either. So my question: How do I prepare the second slice /dev/hda2d on the slave machine in order to get mounted as /home?

using Linux aaccli in a cron job
Hi I have a 5.4-R system with an Adaptec 2200S.

However, if I do it from a cron job (same script as I run in a terminal) I get no output. aaccli uses terminal control commands and I suspect it is detecting that it is not connected to a terminal and hence not running. However, I so-far have not been able to get the Cron output to check for errors due to the fact that the mail server rejects it for not having a valid From/Sender and cron does not seem to set a From on its mail or something.

Can't install php5-apache20 combination
I have a new installation of 5.4-RELEASE and am trying to get apache2 with php5 support installed. No luck so far. In what order should I do this? I've tried this: *portupgrade -vN php5* These are the options that I selected APACHE2(yes. I changed this from 'no') DEBUG(no) MULTIBYTE(no) IPV6(yes. It was the default) *portupgrade -vN php5-extensions* I selected the following additional options (I've used gd, imagick, etc in the past with php, so I'll be wanting these. Does it hurt to just select all options in case you might need them later?) BZ2 CALENDAR CURL GD IMAGICK MYSQL NCURSES PDF READLINE ZIP ZLIB That seemed go ok, but my phpinfo() does not show anything about mysql, which is the main php support that I'm trying to get. Then I tried this: *portupgrade -vN apache20* But I get an error message No such installed package or port: apache20, which exists in /usr/ports/www/apache20. I uninstalled php5 to start over. So, how can I install apache2 with php5 and the necessary extensions? Is there a way just install apache20 and make the installation install whatever you need, including php5 in the right order? thanks, Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sound Blaster SB0410 vs. 5.4
Just bought a Creative Labs Sound Blaster SB0410 sound card. It uses the EMU10K1 chipset. The hardware notes imply that this card will work with FreeBSD 5.4. I am using the card in a SuperMicro X5DP8-G2 motherboard PCI-X slot. Here is what I have tried. From the snd_emu10k1(4) man page: In the kernel configuration file: devicesound devicesnd_emu10k1 From the sound(4) man page: In the /boot/device.hints file: hint.pcm.0.at=isa hint.pcm.0.irq=5 hint.pcm.0.drq=1 hint.pcm.0.flags=0x0 In the /boot/loader.conf file: snd_emu10k1_load=YES I have tried all the above alone and in various combinations. cat /dev/sndstat reports no installed devices. Does anyone know how to make this thing work with FreeBSD 5.4? hal ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mDNS inside of a jail or not
On an i386 machine with 5.4-R p1 and p6 I want to run some mDNS services inside a jail. I am using testing programs from Apple from http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/ bonjour/ Inside the jail the various apps that build when you build the Apple project run but they don't seem to talk to each other. I run them outside of the jail and they die with unknown error (actually with code -65537 but that is unknown_error according to the source). Has anyone gotten any mDNS type services running on FreeBSD inside or outside of a jail?

Re: xorg crashing with kde
On Wednesday 10 August 2005 22:25, RW wrote: Since the kde update went into ports about a week ago, I've been having a problem with xorg crashing. The problem occurs when a kde session is left in the background by a switch to either another x-server or to a virtual terminal, and it's left there long enough for the monitor standby timer to expire. The crash actually happens on switching back to the kde session. According to the system console the crash follows a stray irq13, and the xorg log indicates it died with signal 8. I cant find any other relevent logging. I installed xscreensaver to see if it could be reproduced under xfce, and it couldn't. I can work around the problem by turning off display power management in kde. This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but perhaps re-building your xorg-server port might fix it. When I update my xserver, I have to rebuild my nvidia driver or x will crash when any opengl app runs. So in your case, it may be some part of X causeing the crash. I'm running kde haven't had that problem though. -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc pgpSxw37AcQj4.pgp Description: PGP signature
Problem w/ PAM…
…and the problem is evidently me! Okay. I was messing around with pam_radius in and attempt to authenticate POP requests off of our existing Active Directory. Although I was able to get SSH to authenticate off of AD, I never could get POP. Today I finally realized that our checkpasswd program can ONLY valid off of the local user DB – we use qmail. That made sense so I decided to ditch pam_radius. In my eagerness to get rid of it and move on, I believe that I’ve delete a file(s) from /user/lib. Namely, pam_radius.s0 and pam_radius.s02 (from memory). If it is true that the absence of these original files is causing my problem, I really need to somehow restore PAM. It seems that I have a “fail open” situation here. I can ssh to the host and get a shell without entering a password. Luckily, one cannot ssh in as root, but one can first ssh in as them self (w/o being asked a password) and then su right into root – yes, w/o a password! I’m novice enough to blame myself right off the bat for moving to fast. Thus, I’ve pulled the system off the network and am hoping that I can somehow restore PAM w/o a reinstall. The system is still non-production so, sigh, there is no backup. :( Does anyone know if I can fix PAM? FreeBSD v5.3 Thanks!
