I tested CrossOver Office on my linux box and it's far away from being a replacement for the vmware solution. In my opinion the newer versions should be availalbe, because it's hard to swith to FreeBSD, if you do not own an old vmware license. That's probably something to talk to the vmware people about.

Re: Worried ...
No worries (from the security side). This error means that SSH daemon cannot start because the port 22 is already use by another program (probably another SSH daemon). So it is likely that you try to start several versions of SSH daemon or some program uses port 22 and starts before SSH daemon. --Rein Graham Bentley wrote: My security run output reported mydomain.co.uk login failures: Sep 13 23:43:01 3bsd sshd[2066]: error: Bind to port 22 on 192.168.x.x failed: Address already in use.

Deep in printer hell.
When JFK said, We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.., I always wondered what exactly the other things were. Apparently, one of them is printer configuration under FreeBSD. If I am using a HP Deskjet 940 connected via parallel cable, is there not some simple way of configuring this printer? Is it really necessary to follow all the steps in the handbook - just to print? The Basic Setup instructions are 15 pages printed. Assuming you can print them. I got this printer working 6 months ago under FreeBSD, and apparently my many notes on it are too many. Now I'm starting from scratch, to redocument it, and it just seems like there should be a simpler way. I'm using 5.4, Fluxbox, Abiword, and Firefox - that's it. Eventually I will figure it out again, I just wanted to know if there was some simple script I could run, or preferred short-cut for setting up desktop printer. I realize the handbook is written to be precise and server-centric, but I just want to print Yahoo driving directions, and other such things. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Fixing a MBR (and more) that ??? trashed
Gayn Winters wrote: Alex Zbyslaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Why do you think it's not safe to add hard drives? It doesn't seem safe if Windows blows away the multiboot MBR that FreeBSD so carefully made! Windows overwriting the MBR seems to be the reason people recommend loading Windows before loading FreeBSD, which I do. I just never realized that this problem would come back to bite me when I added another disk drive. I know of know reason why it should. I've added disks half a dozen times without blowing away any MBRs. Even the Windows blowing away the MBR is an annoyance, not a disaster since it is easy to rewrite. Whatever pickle you find yourself in seems to have to do with more than just adding a disk or Windows killing your MBR. I need to be able to operate on my clients' disks. Sometimes I need a tool that runs under Windows, and other times I need a tool that runs under FBSD. This doesn't permit adding an OS to their disks. I don't really understand what you're saying here; sorry. Dual boot machines are really common (I have three here) and despite adding disks to each of them at some point in their lives, I've never ended up with anything going wrong. A bootable external USB drive may be the ideal Fixit drive ... Of course, I'd rather figure out how not to have the problem at all! It would be nice if FreeBSD could write out whatever changes to the MBR and the partition/slice tables that the new hardware required so that Windows didn't feel obligated to fix things. FreeBSD can do that.

Setting a serial port
I have a freebsd 5.4 box whose only serial port /dev/cuaa0 is to be connected: 1) during the morning at a modem for regular internet connections and 2) at night at an elettromedical appliance with a serial port from which regular signals are emitted at specific time inervals of 10 secs. As far as point 2) is concerned I want to read the stream of data with a statistical software called R for successive computations. The problem is that R can read from whatever file (e.g. with the command scan from /dev/cuaa0) but it doesn't have any way to set the parameters of the connection (9600,N,8,1). Therefore I need to set the parameters of connection of /dev/cuaa0 before launching R from the console. I read some docs in the Internet to be more confused than ignoring them How could I set the parameters of connection of /dev/cuaa0 under a console?

I don't have a memory file system set up, so this is likely the problem. You will use either or, not both. A memory file system will ocupy ram so if you don't have much it's not a good idea. Also, var and tmp may be created as mfs if these are not mounted or toggled in rc.conf. (see /etc/rc.d/var and /etc/rc.d/tmp) so you may run out of ram. Check that you can mount the nfs root device. There are some permission stuff to be aware of if you have multiple exports on the same device. I tried once, a while ago to set up diskless systems, and wrote my own guide to keep track of what I was doing, you can read it here: www.daemonsecurity.com/pxe I didn't get it working, my problem was that the dhclient of 5.4 would unconfigure the NIC before obtaining a new lease meaning that any NFS mounted filesystems was lost and then it couldn't write the lease file. This problem could posibly be solved by using mfs for /var and / but I only have 112 MB ram, so I prefered to have it nfs mounted.

Most of the stuff in the Handbook is there in case things don't work, and can be ignored by most people. If I am using a HP Deskjet 940 connected via parallel cable, is there not some simple way of configuring this printer? Is it really necessary to follow all the steps in the handbook - just to print? The Basic Setup instructions are 15 pages printed. Assuming you can print them. I got this printer working 6 months ago under FreeBSD, and apparently my many notes on it are too many. Now I'm starting from scratch, to redocument it, and it just seems like there should be a simpler way. I'm using 5.4, Fluxbox, Abiword, and Firefox - that's it. Eventually I will figure it out again, I just wanted to know if there was some simple script I could run, or preferred short-cut for setting up desktop printer. I realize the handbook is written to be precise and server-centric, but I just want to print Yahoo driving directions, and other such things. Most of the stuff in the Handbook just works out of the box (e.g. parallel port configuration), so you can usually skip it. The only test I do is dump some plain text to the printer port and see if it makes something happen at the printer (it doesn't even matter if the output is correct: it's just testing that the hardware connection is working). After that I install ports/print/apsfilter and let it do its thing. Apsfilter is a very fancy printer filter (filters are explained in the Advanced Printing section of the Handbook) that takes the output to be printed, converts the format if necessary, and then feeds it to a driver for your printer. It installs a lot of stuff, but I find it easier to set up than CUPS (CUPS is good if you need to use networked printers in a mixed-platform environment). If you get stuck, check the Apsfilter Handbook http://www.apsfilter.org/docs/apsfilter-handbook-stable.html but you probably won't need to. I recommend letting it install the default collection of drivers even though you won't need most of them, because there are some unexpected dependencies that can cause problems when necessary drivers aren't installed. The correct driver to use for your printer isn't always obvious. For instance, my LaserJet 6L needs the LaserJet 4 driver. For most printers, you will use the appropriate Ghostscript driver. http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi will help you determine which one is right for your printer, and save you the head scratching I went through. When you install the apsfilter port it will tell you to run the SETUP script. Make note of its location (probably /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP) because that's what actually sets up the correct driver by modifying your /etc/printcap.

I've been trying to read the documentation to figure out what to do about this. Basically, FreeBSD wants to use the dc driver for my card, and it should be using the fxp driver. Should I try and disable the dc driver in /boot/device.hints? I _think_ that this will just keep that driver from loading. Will I have to set up hints for the fxp driver also?

IPs , Netmasks and Broadcast.
Hi All, Now I am really confused. Up until this morning I thought I had a good handle on when I need to use the real Netmask and Broadcast. For example, If I have 3 servers, and my upline asigns me a block of 128 addresses, for the first ip used (from this block) on each server, I would need to specify the IP, true netmask and a broadcase. Then, when using more IPs from that block, I would use a 255.255.255.255 netmask and a broadcast equal to the IP. Today, I was in this exact position where I was tring to add an (the first one one THAT machine, from that block) IP from a block that is almost completely used up on another server, and the one I was adding it to would not take it. When I tried adding it with a 255.255.255.255 netmask, and a broadcast eaqual to the amount of IPs from that block - it worked. this is on a FreeBSD 4.10 machine.

port builds: selective compiler options for each port?
Hello. I run into trouble on building some ports in FreeBSD 6.0. Those troubles are not the same on each portbuild, sometimes it is a compiler option, sometimes it is an option for the relocation of data directories and so on. For instance I tried building Open Office 1.1.5 without JAVA support. On my lab's box I use CPUTYPE=prescott and everything runs well and smoth but not OO due the fact it gets compiled via an older GCC and this compiler also gathers its options from /etc/make.conf as the system compiler does. For a simple and single portbuild changing /etc/make.conf or applying the appropriate make options seems not to be a high cost effort, but doing so via an automated portupgrade let me run into some trouble! The most 'popular' ports for those troubles are OO and MySQL. Since one of the prior port changes to MySQL, the variable for the database directory vanished and got hardwired to /var/db/database but on our server infrastructure we use another path for the databases. But MySQL is another type of weirdness and senseless changes. My question is: Is there a way to obtain each port's buildprocess its own environment? It seems that there is no standard and consistent concept of how flags should be named (WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes on the other hand, BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes on the other).

Blade Servers w/ SAN backend ... anyone doing this?
I'm talking to my supplier about going this root, and am having problems finding out if I can even do it :( I was pointed to jcagle's page on the HP Blade stuff (http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle), but what I can't seem to find is how to connect the Blade-SAN ... From what little I've learnt so far, there is an HP Fiber Channel controller that is used to connect the Blade to the SAN, but I can't find anywhere that indicates that there is a FreeBSD driver for it ... Is anyone running such a configuration right now? Also, another thing that was mentioned to me was the ability to 'boot on SAN', instead of having drives in the Blade itself ... is this something that can be done with FreeBSD, and, if so, is there anywhere on the web I can read up on this?

script advice
Dear List,
I have a requirement for a maximum of one user logged in at any given time.
Following is a .profile script I wrote to enforce the requirement. The problem
is that when the script runs, sometimes the user trying to login is identified
as logged in and sometimes he/she is not identified as logged in. I.e., there
is a race condition between script execution and login completion. Any advice
for how to make it work properly? The brute force way is to loop on waiting
for the user to be logged in, as identified by the who command, and then check
the time of the login so as not to be confused if the user is already logged
in. Is there a better way? Thanks!

One thing to note is that if I reconfigure (fresh FBSD install), add hardware, and then boot first into FBSD, all is well EXCEPT the boot loader, whose prompt is: F1 ??? F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default: F2 If I select F2, then I get FreeBSD. If I select F5 I get Windows! I.e. F5 gives me the same slice as does F1!!! (Drive1 is the extra IDE drive.) I can't blame Windows for this, since it never got booted. That sounds correct to me. F1-F4 would be the the [up t0] four slices on the first disk and then F5 tells it to look on the second disk. There is looks for an MBR. If it happened to be a FreeBSD MBR you should get a second menu something like F1 ??? F2 FreeBSD, F3 DOS, etc. But if it is an MS MBR, it will only know to boot MSxxx. Also, if FBSD gets booted first, Windows doesn't (further) corrupt the MBR. Incidentally, rewriting the MBR with boot0cfg -B -o packet /dev/ad1 does not change anything. The F5 option is still there, and it still brings up the Windows that is on slice1. If I add a third IDE drive, the situation also remains the same. In particular, I don't get an F9 option. You would never get an F9. They are only F1--F4 +F5 which takes you to the next disk's F1-F4.What the MBR on the second disk does when you hit F5 depends on what MBR is on it. You may have something weird on the second disk. I really don't know from what you say. But, at least the main boot disk (ad0 ??) behavior looks correct. Adding the FreeBSD MBR to the second disk wouldn't change much if the slice on the second disk has a boot sector that boots MSxxx. If it is MS, it may insist on booting from the first disk anyway. I am not that familiar with weirdnesses from MS other than that they are weird. jerry I'm still in a curious pickle, but at least this one isn't choking me!

Re: fsck on corrupted /

I switched it to the ups and ran fsck and thought all was well. Then I started having periodic reboots. After the last one, the system would crash about the time fsck was checking pathnames. Have tried running fsck on / from both single user mode and from the fixit live cd. Same thing, crashes. Any help/ideas greatly appreciated. If you can, try to boot mounting / read-only, at least you shouldn't get disk errors on that label then. But this may just be your disk degrading from bad to worse untill it's final death :-( Do you get any READ_DMA or WRITE_DMA errors? I remember that there has been a lot of threads regarding disk errors the last month, try searching the archive for hints. For example you should be able to lower throughput using ata_control, this may reduce problems. Cheers, Erik Very sorry for not answering earlier. Evacuated Biloxi 8/30 for hurricane katrina. Back home now. Quite a mess here. I was able to finally run fsck successfully, using a fbsd 5.3 live cd in single user mode. Never had any success previous to that, just booting the 5.4 system into single user doing fsck. The box has been running ok since I got back to the house and didn't give me me any further problems until I started running my update script again, which really just does some simple update stuff. Cvsup's src, ports, docs; installs new docs; fetches new ports index runs portsdb -u; runs portversion -l portaudit -Fda exits. Only thing changed at all on the system is the docs that are updated the updated portsdb. Have had no WRITE_DMA or READ_DMA errors. Only time anything got scrambled up was after the initial power outage that started the problems, but fsck reported everything salvaged marked clean. I thought best simplest way to check for hardware problems, since the box isn't a production system is mostly just for learning surfing, was to run a live cd on it for a couple of days and see if I get any reboots.? Definitely mount the h/d's too, while doing so. Thanks for any further thoughts ideas on the issue. Sorry again for the late answer.

If I write a wordprocessor for Linux or FreeBSD and try to sell it, why would a customer buy it when he can just use his Microsoft Word under Wine?

The reason why I can see using IE is the ridiculous requirement made by many software vendors and website designers that custom tailor their content to use either ActiveX (Valve's CS and CS:S for example) or certain features only available in IE, or they are just plain lazy and don't want to make their content Mozilla friendly. -Garrett I don't think you mean Mozilla friendly, I think you mean according to accepted standards.

Let's quit beating around the bush, shall we? The only vendor that custom tailors their content to IE and who will not correct gross HTML coding errors on their website and in their products is Microsoft. Everybody else, if you wave cash in front of them and say I will buy your product once you fix these gross html errors your product spews out they will get real interested in fixing them, all the sudden.

why is my smbfs slow vs. smbclient/Sharity?
Running a 5.4-STABLE build from May 9 Having poor write performance to a number of different hosts/networks using cp/rsync via mount_smbfs. Performance hovers in smbfs writes near 600kB/sec. Using FTP/Sharity/smbclient in samba3 write performance is more like 8-9MB/sec. Is there a performance tweak I'm missing? I've already tried increasing sendspace and recvspace to no avail. I should mention, hosts consist of HP BL20P G3 blades, and have also tested against another generic PC. Network is 100Mbps full duplex switched, switch and hosts aren't showing any packet errors. I've tried googling for pertinent information on smbfs/cifs in freebsd but can mostly only dig up information from Boris Popov circa 2000-2001.

hi sirs, am installing sugarcrm from port. installation ends smoothly. but when i launch mozilla http://localhost/suharcrm/, i get error messages instead. looking at /usr/local/www/data, there is no sugarcrm in there but /usr/local/www. so i need to move /usr/local/www/sugarcrm/* to /usr/local/www/data/sugarcrm and re-launch mozilla. i stuck at step 1, system checking error (in red) and the one that i can not recover from is 'XML Parser Not Available.' could any one here please give mo some hints to overcome this kind of errors ? thanks for your time. with best regards, psr ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: IE in FreeBSD?
There is also a petition circulating to encourage CodeWeavers to port their CrossOver Office product to BSD. It should be able to run IE. Not tomorrow, mind you, but soon (if the petition and its follow-on efforts succeed, and I think it will). Please sign if this might help you.
