Care to actually _back up_ your statement with something substantial? cvsup and ports is the best package management system I've seen yet in it generally 'just works right.' That statement is made with 12 years of Linux experience, as well as Solaris and other *nixes. For a server system, FreeBSD is really hard to beat. The closest might be Gentoo, but their portage (based on BSD ports) system isn't as consistently stable as BSD ports (meaning things break more often). As it's not a _great_ idea IMO to even have build tools (gcc and toolchain) on a production server, it's not a bad idea to have a seperate build host somewhere, but that applies equally to any system, and you also have the option to go with binary packages. Let me know how the following goes for you with Deb or other Linux distro besides gentoo- install PHP or apache with _only_ the options that you want/need. Oh rightyou can't, without compiling from source, at which point you've lost your 'package management.' Oops? Read the Handbook, try to get enough of a clue to understand it, use it for a month, and then come back with a statement you can back up. Otherwisepiss off. The only 'real' gripes I've got with FreeBSD are: a. thread performance - from what I've seen, still lags behind Linux (mysql benchmarks show this to be true at leat for 5-STABLE). b. desktop BSD 'out of box experience'- mixed, as BSD is primarily a server OS, but with 'roll your own' capabilities...oh, and there are now two 'desktop BSD' type projects. So not really a gripe, but can see someone complaining about it a bit, if they don't find the Dekstop BSD project. c. security patch notification system (may exist now?). Yes, you can get emails from the security ML, but now quite the same as for example, 'smpatch analyze' on Solaris 9/10. This could be argued that's _exactly_ what rel-STABLE is, however, so again, not a real issue, although a user friendly (for people using as a desktop OS) tool would be of benefit. Geeze, compared to my gripes against Linux and *nix distros. these are really pretty damned trivial. If thread performance comes up to par with Linux, FreeBSD has a very good chance of becoming my choice for 'personal *nix' (ie, my primary workstation, laptops, etc) over Gentoo.

I used raiserfs in linux. Which File System's are supported in FreeBSD 5.4 and which is stable for mailing system. How do i enable them in kernel. 2)How to i find memory, cpu information in freebsd, apart from TOP. In linux we have free and /pro/cpuinfo.

Re: nForce4-SLI, AHCI and NCQ and FreeBSD 6.0
Hello. Are you really sure the onboard Sil SATA controller supports SATA II? When I studied the handbook of both motherboards, the A8N-SLI Deluxe and A8N-SLI Premium I found both motherboards are idetically equipted with the *not* SATA II capable SilI3114 SATA controller. By the way, as I know, the second SATA controller is attached via the PCI32 bus, not via PCIe! That means (in my opinion) there is no benefit using this controller. It is more a marketing GAG than a serious add-on. RAID5 performance of ICH7R and SilI is said to be very, very poor (about 10 MB/s read/write performance), so what benefit I do have using this controller with it's senseless 'capabilities' and non-PCIe attachment? This is only a thought based on my personal available informations and maybe wrong ... Oliver Malachi de Ælfweald wrote: I have noticed the same thing with the onboard Silicon Image controller. I am using the A8N-SLI Premium.

IPFW2+NATD stateful rules VS. FTP
Hello everybody, please can anybody help me with ipfw rules? My machine is acting as firewall/router/www-proxy/ftp-proxy for small LAN. It does not work as ftp-server. I set my ipfw2 rules exactly as in section 25.6.5.7 An Example NAT and Stateful Ruleset Ex.2 from handbook. Everything works well except miserable ftp. I just installed ports/jftpgw to be an transparent proxy for internal LAN but still without success. I understand all rules in those example, but I do not know where should I place fwd rule(s). Ftp depends on two ports 20 and 21. So i assume there should be two fwd rules semewhere in the ruleset. Please, where should I place those rules? Or is it better to use /etc/nad.conf to redirect all incomming connections on ports 20 and 21 to localhost? Any help is *very* appreciated :-) Peter Rosa P.S.

PPPoE to connect to T-DSL
Hi, I have a similar question as some people before and - yes - I researched the archives to try out the various solutions proposed over the months. None of which yet did the job. I just need to connect my notebook to the internet using pppoe to hook up to t-dsl, a German adsl provider. I installed 5.4 Release with very few problems. I modified ppp.conf according to various postings on this list. Yet I am quite unsure as to which other configuration files I have to adapt and which to leave alone. Every posting in the archive differs somewhat regarding this issue (e.g. does one have to modify host.conf or resolv.conf or or others or none and if yes how???). Anyway, trying to use the most generic ppp.conf it hangs in 'Phase' (as far as I can understand the log). It redials and redials, which results in multiple deflink: Connected deflink: Hangup sequences in the /var/lod/ppp.log. Btw, I upped the rl0 interface prior to starting ppp, so I hope this is not an issue. There is no activity on the LEDs of the dsl modem. To preempt some suggestions - it actually worked under SuCKse Linux 9.3, one of the few things that did actually work, which prompted me to switch to FreeBSD.

Hey Subhro thanx for the info. I used Reiserfs in
linux, bcos its reads and writes smaller files
faster
like file size of 1-5 Mb, basically for mailing
solution. I dont know where iam wrong.
I have read regarding XFS, in freebsd any info ?.
So ok FreeBSD supports UFS1/2, dos, fat, fat32,
ext2
reiserfs read only, ok cool...
So how do i enable Reiserfs in kernel, and do the
partion at install time...
http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/xfs/index.html
XFS is supported in FBSD. For infomration regarding
enabling various
stuff in the kernel have a look at
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES. BTW, your
mail client incorrectly marks the replies. Why dont
u use thunderbird?
Its a really cool client IMHO. Also send a cc to

Hi,
Hello :-),
I am trying to migrate my mail servers from
Fedora
core 3 to FreeBSD 5.4, due to performance issue.
Cool! Go for it :-)
1)Which is the suitable filesystem ie UFS2, Ext2
etc...
for mailing server. I used raiserfs in linux.
Which
File System's are supported in FreeBSD 5.4 and
which
is stable for mailing system. How do i enable
them
in
kernel.
The native filesystem for FreeBSD 5.x and above is
UFS2 which performs
exceptionally well IMHO. Reiserfs also has support
in FBSD although
readonly only. Just something off topic, did you
have any reasons for
using ReiserFS in Linux and not use EXT2/3?
2)How to i find memory, cpu information in
freebsd,
apart from TOP. In linux we have free and
/pro/cpuinfo. I dont see any files under /proc
what information do you need that top does not
provide? You can try
sysctl -a | more and analyse all the kernel
runtime
variables.
3) Is SMP support enabled in FreeBSD 5.4, or
should
I
recompile the kernel for the support(what kernel
arguments should I use).
No SMP by default is not there in the stock
kernel.
However you can boot
up your SMP box with the stock kernel and cimpile
SMP support in it.
Refer to the handbook for the kernel parameters.
Also have a look at
/usr/src/sys/arch/conf/GENERIC
and
/usr/src/sys/arch/conf/NOTES for examples where
arch is your
architecture (i386,amd64,etc)
Welcome to the world of FreeBSD.
Thanks

rebuilding kernel 6.0beta4 for amd64?
I've just put together a new amd64 machine in an ASUS Vintage-ae1 barebones system. After giving up on FreeBSD 5.4 when it gagged on my hard drive, I decided to try going all the way to 6.0beta4. Almost everything went without incident except for mounting usb sticks and the on-board network card isn't coming up. It seems to get detected, but not initialized. When I run dmesg, I get the following lines (I can't post the whole thing since I can't get files from the bsd box to my windows box -- no mcopy and I don't know how to mount the usb stick either): plip0: PLIP network interface on ppbus0 and when I type ifonfig, I get: plip0: flags=108851UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 lo0: flags=blah,blah,blah I think my chipsets for the asus vintage-ae1 is/are: northbridge: SIS 760GX southbridge: SIS 965L and so doing a little research, I think the sis device driver might work (maybe?) and so I need to recompile the kernel to get the onboard nic to light up. So I've been hunting around to see if I can recompile the kernel to include the SIS ethernet driver and I'm having some trouble with the process of building a new kernel under 6.0-BETA4... From re-reading my references, compiling a new kernel is accomplished with the following steps: 1) cd /sys/amd64/conf 2) cp KERNEL MYKERNEL 3) make the edits to MYKERNEL (adding the line device sis to the file) 4) cd /usr/src 5) make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL 6) make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL 7) reboot okay, so when I attempt to build a new kernel, I get the following: bobby# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make: don't know how to make buildkernel.

Conflicting CDRW and DVDRW
Hi all. I am trying to burn a DVD with my Pioneer DVD writer (usb), but when I open K3B, the device is not listed. In fact the IDE CD burner isn't listed there as well. The kernel is configured with SCSI and ATAPICAM devices. It seems to me that my writers IDE and USB are conflicting, since the output of the camcontrol devlist produces: SONY SDT-9000 0400 at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (sa0,pass0) PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 1.18 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,cd0) SONY CD-RW CRX140E 1.0n at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,cd1) Any ideas?

True. I'm all in favor of a little bit more userfriendliness in man pages
as long as it's not overkill though.
How about:

That way I can do /print in less and still get some useful hint.

Re: dhcrelay is setting the relay ip address wrong
On Wednesday, 07 Sep 2005 16:27 +0200, Ihsan Dogan wrote:
The relay agent is acting exactly the way it should. When it gets a
DHCP request in from a client, it uses its own address ON THE CLIENT'S
NETWORK for the relay agent address. This way, the DHCP server can
tell which network the client is on, and thus which set of addresses
to use for assigning an address to the client.
What is the problem?
Perhaps I've sent this e-mail too early. I did some further
investigation and saw that:
select(7,{4 5 6},{},{},0x0) = 2 (0x2)
gettimeofday({1126033610 52754},0x0) = 0 (0x0)
read(0x6,0x806e000,0x1000) = 360 (0x168)
sendto(0x4,0xbfbfd950,0,0x0,{ AF_INET 213.144.141.146:67 },0x10) = 300 (0x12c)
write(2,0x8066cc0,62)= 62 (0x3e)
write(2,0x80620b8,1) = 1 (0x1)
recvfrom(0x4,0xbfbfe3a0,0,0x0,{ AF_INET 0.0.0.0:68 },0xbfbfe38c) = 300 (0x12c)
select(7,{4 5 6},{},{},0x0) = 1 (0x1)
gettimeofday({1126033610 72933},0x0) = 0 (0x0)
recvfrom(0x4,0xbfbfe3a0,0,0x0,{ AF_INET 213.144.141.146:67 },0xbfbfe38c) =
300 (0x12c)
The dhcrelay is forwarding the request from the client correctly
to the server, but it does not forward the reply from the server
to the client.
I've asked also on the ISC's dhcp server list and this is the
answer I've got:
No, input from this socket is dropped.
See 'fallback_discard' in common/socket.c.
You're railing against a very commonly reported problem. The IO system
was designed for the server and client (mostly for the server). It is
poorly suited to the relay.
Enhancements are on the wishlist for 3.1.

NFS client performance against MS SFU 3.5 NFS Server
All: Anyone having any good fortune with performance of NFS shares in a current 5-STABLE against Windows 2003 Services For Unix 3.5 server? I'm able to, with some pretty extreme tuning, get as much as 1MB/sec out of a 100Mbps link, but I'm able to FTP to and from the same host at 8-10MB/sec. I've tried different send/receive windows, NFSv2, NFSv3, forcing TCP/UDP, and setting the tcp windows to some pretty outrageous sizes. None of the above really seems to net me performance above 500-600kB/sec (testing via rsync --progress -av / local/dir /mnt/nfsshare). mount_smbfs is also incapable of going beyond 1MB/sec in a similar arrangement. Why on earth is performance sucking so bad?

this will give you a file with the date then the pings sorted from quickest to

Installation outside prefix is not supported. You could set
prefix to /usr2 and WWWDOCROOT to virtualwebs to install the key
files where you want them. This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist. Alternativly,
you could make /usr/local/www/forumkatrina.org a symlike to
/usr2/virtualwebs/forumkatrina.org or something similar. Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it. Making
phpbb capable of being a slave port and making local ports for each site
could be a good work around for that.

Installation outside prefix is not supported. You could set

and WWWDOCROOT to virtualwebs to install the key
files where you want them.
But does that not mean that I would be getting files that properly belong in
the /usr/local/ hierarchy in the virtualwebs hierarchy?
This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist. Alternativly,
you could make /usr/local/www/forumkatrina.org a symlike to
/usr2/virtualwebs/forumkatrina.org or something similar.
That would be a good idea but unfortunately there appears to be a bug in the
latest version of apache2 that makes symlinks problematical and it is not a
good idea when the files are networked. The other thing is that /usr2/ is a
different physical device which holds files for replication to duplicate
physical devices for webfarming.
Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it.
Making phpbb capable of being a slave port and making local ports for each
site could be a good work around for that.
Does anyone know how to fix the Makefile for the port so that it does not
apply ${PREFIX} when presented with an absolute path such as / but does use
${PREFIX} when the path is relative.
That would do as a workaround for the moment.

this will give you a file with the date then the pings sorted from quickest to
slowest. Plenty of scope to make it nicer, but it gets you the info you want.
(You will probably want to increase the count, but I would also add a delay,
-i, it will give you a better range and also it is not nice to fire a lot of
pings to a public server).

That depends on your definition of properly. Yes they will end up
there, but that's what is supposed to happen when you set, PREFIX to
something other than /usr/local.
This would cause /usr2 to be populated
with the directories given in BSD.local.dist. Alternativly,

That shouldn't be an issue. If you point apache at the real paths,
everything should be fine. I merely suggest using a symlike to get the
files installed where you want them.
Of course, if
you want to install it more than once, ports won't work as it.

That would be breaking the Makefile, not fixing it. Realistly, if you
want to use a non-standard file system layout, you shouldn't use the
port. Just do a make depends in the phpbb port directory to get the
pieces you need, and then install phpbb by hand. Most php apps are
pretty trivial to install if you know how to configure a web server and
