 Thanks - I was searching for username and getting nowhere.  Also, thank
 you for the clarification regarding ipfw2/ipfw and their current state.

 I notice that the traffic accounting per uid only applies to traffic
 initiated by that user, and initiated from the local machine.  If I scp a
 file away from the machine (as user X) the traffic does not get
 incremented, and if I scp a file to the local machine (as user X) it also
 does not get incremented - even though those are non-anonymous actions
 that occur under the auspices of a particular username.

 Doe anyone have any suggestions for traffic accounting (of particularly
 ssh traffic) on a per user basis, for _all_ traffic that occurs under the
 auspices of that username, and not just what _they themselves_ initiate,
 personally, in their own login shell ?

 Thank you.



ipfw looks at the owner of a process, sshd in your
case. If you really need to account the not-locally-
initiated ssh traffic, start another sshd running as
the user (on another port), and connect to that
port [you can easily allow a user to connect only
to a selected server by editing sshd_config's].

Anyway, try thinking logically. How ipfw could
ever know what user traffic belongs to if all
authentication is handled by sshd internally.
Otherwise, it would be a security whole (though
some actions can certainly be logged to limited-
access log files).

Hassle-free solutions, i.e. complex accounting
systems, come for money. Though, whatever
problem you might have, I'm sure somehow that
there's another way.

The first place you should always ask about plans to update a port is
the maintainer.  If the maintainer is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (it is not in
this case) then the answer is it's not maintained and so no one is
planning to update it until someone submits a PR.

dlopen() causes libXcursor.so.1.0 not found: libX11.so problem?

2005-10-25 Thread Rob


Hi,

I'm running 5-Stable.

I wonder if there is a problem with my xorg
libX11.so.6 library. I have recompiled the
xorg-libraries-6.8.2 port, but to no avail.

Here is the problem:

The math/graphics package xmgrace encounters a
serious problem, when it calls the ldopen()
routine:
 Shared object libXcursor.so.1.0 not found

As a result, xmgrace does not work properly under
certain conditions.


The executable 'xmgrace' does not depend on any
'libXcursor' library, and 'locate libXcursor.so.1.0'
gives:
 /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2

But xmgrace is linked against libX11.so.6 and when
I do 'strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6', there
is a line with libXcursor.so.1.0.2

Any idea why xmgrace's ldopen() call complains
about not finding libXcursor.so.1.0 ?
Is this indeed caused by a problem in libX11.so.6 ?

Any suggestions how I can further analyse this
problem ?

Thanks,
Rob.

Re: Qwest DLS MSN Premium Linksys Router FreeBSD.. Oh my



On Oct 24, 2005, at 10:47 PM, Kris Anderson wrote:


Hey folks,

I'm getting off cable (Comcast and 6 megabits) and
either looking at Qwest DSL w/MSN premium or a service
called Clear Wire (Wireless internet).

I'm a bit baffled because Qwest says they have a deal
that I could get DSL for $19.99 a month for a year. Of
course the fine prints MSN is the ISP so forth and so
on.



[snip]


How I had it previously was Comcast's modem to
wireless router (Linksys WRT-54G), a little Linksys
switch, FreeBSD and misc. Windows computers happily
sharing the connection.

Just to confirm, my guess is that this would not be
the service to go with since I would love to have my
spiffy Linksys Router (WRT-54G) hook to the DSL. And
to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD, and
misc Windows computers.

If the above isn't going to work then I'm stuck with a
different bundle (a few bucks more) that would allow
me to do the same thing. I hope. I'm not familiar with
the way in which DSL does its connectivity thing.
Okay, I saw in a previous question that PPoE is needed
with DSL. And I noticed that I could set my WRT54G to
utilize PPoE, so maybe MSN ISP  Qwest service will
work?

So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the
ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and
that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to
work with MSN as the ISP?

Most appreciated. Gah, that means I'm probably not
going to be needing my little WRT-54G router then. :~(

Hope I wasn't to confusiong there.



Your FreeBSD system will work fine.  You login credentials get  
entered into the DSL router/modem.  If you want to do some  
webhosting, etc out of your home, spend the extra money and utilize a  
*real* ISP.  Even Qwest.net supports static IP addresses (up to a /26).

FileSystem Full error in FreeBSD 5.4-Release even if the partition is not full

problems with cd/dvd-device

I know, I know. I ask a lot of questions right now, but it's just
because I've waited until it's very acute until I got myself to start
fixing these things.

So, I can't seem to find my cd/dvd-device. What do I do?

Well, what I did originally I didn't do. Someone else did and I feel
a bit handicapped not knowing what's reallt been done and not. Now I
tried som commands in the newbie guide like these:

supermoccine# mount /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument
supermoccine# /sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom
mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0a: No such file or directory
supermoccine#

And I tried inserting a cd with musicfiles and find it from xmms, but
there was nothing in /cdrom.

If you run out of inodes you can't create new files - that might be

tricky as you need to rebuild the filesystem (dump, newfs with more 
inodes, restore).


That doesn't seem to be the case here (1334620) remaining, though why 
you have the -ve %iused I do not know.  Something not right there.

  Hey folks,
 
  I'm getting off cable (Comcast and 6 megabits) and

  I'm a bit baffled because Qwest says they have a deal
  that I could get DSL for $19.99 a month for a year. Of
  course the fine prints MSN is the ISP so forth and so
  on.
 

 [snip]

  How I had it previously was Comcast's modem to
  wireless router (Linksys WRT-54G), a little Linksys
  switch, FreeBSD and misc. Windows computers happily
  sharing the connection.
 
  Just to confirm, my guess is that this would not be
  the service to go with since I would love to have my
  spiffy Linksys Router (WRT-54G) hook to the DSL. And
  to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD, and
  misc Windows computers.
 
  If the above isn't going to work then I'm stuck with a
  different bundle (a few bucks more) that would allow
  me to do the same thing. I hope. I'm not familiar with
  the way in which DSL does its connectivity thing.
  Okay, I saw in a previous question that PPoE is needed
  with DSL. And I noticed that I could set my WRT54G to
  utilize PPoE, so maybe MSN ISP  Qwest service will
  work?
 
  So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the
  ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and
  that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to
  work with MSN as the ISP?
 
  Most appreciated. Gah, that means I'm probably not
  going to be needing my little WRT-54G router then. :~(
 
  Hope I wasn't to confusiong there.
 

 Your FreeBSD system will work fine. You login credentials get
 entered into the DSL router/modem. If you want to do some
 webhosting, etc out of your home, spend the extra money and utilize a
 *real* ISP. Even Qwest.net http://Qwest.net supports static IP addresses
 (up to a /26).

 HTH


Stay away from the Actiontec GT701-WG DSL router modem device Qwest is
pushing.
Its running linux of some sort and absolutely pukes at high PPS rates. I
didnt bother
trouble shooting it, rather I turned it to bridge mode and added a soekris
box running FreeBSD
behind it to do the pppoe/routing etc for my /29. I didnt try the msn
service but have been
happy with qwest.net http://qwest.net/ as my isp.

telnetting/netcatting into a DNS server?

2005-10-25 Thread Mohan Singh

Whenever I need to test a mail/ssh/web server, I usually just telnet or nc
into the appropriate port, i.e.:

   $ echo GET /  |nc -v yahoo.com 80

   $ nc -v localhost 22
   Connection to localhost 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
   SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.2

How would I connect to a nameserver and talk to it so I can know it is
working? I get as far as connecting to the port, but I don't know how to
make it send back anything meaningful.

 I don't reccommend doing installworld or kernel in multiuser, but I have never
 had any problems doing it on a lightly loaded machine. With that said what
 could bite you is your new kernel not booting or something broken in
 userland. You will then need console access (serial or local) to fix it. I
 would set up your machine with serial console access and use a laptop or
 another machine when you reboot.

Thank you.

Because I'm impatient and obtuse, and because I was already in the
midst of the procedure when I received your replies, I decided to
proceed with the build world process from my LAN connection.  Believe
it or not, it went (or seemed to go) without a hitch, including the
updated kernel installation.

In your opinion, where/how would I check the new system to verify that
there were no breaks during the build and install processes, and that
the system is indeed fully updated?

if you wish know your nameserver works, then
nslookup - your.server.ip

then try resolve some hostname/ip

 to

I also just finished compiling world and compiling  installing my

Does anyone have a clear understanding of why things can go wrong otherwise?

   Cannot Dump. No dump device defined
  
   Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort*

 Is this a fresh installation of BSD or something that has once worked?
 Proprietary BIOS and chipsets such as VIA on AMD boards, in my
 experience, have funny effects on BSD. For example, a Compaq M2000
 with an AMD Sempron CPU will not install any FreeBSD, OpenBSD or
 NetBSD version onto it; all versions after 4.8 malfunction. I just
 want to give you a heads up as to why it might not be working, so you
 don't pull your hair out. I still haven't figured out my issue with my
 box here, but I've moved on.

Without knowing which program produces the fault, it's hard to diagnose
the problem. 

One thing you could try is to burn a 6.0-RC1 CD and try that. Test your
memory with memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/).

   And I tried inserting a cd with musicfiles and find it from xmms, but
   there was nothing in /cdrom.
 
  Playing music is very different from mounting, so that's perfectly normal.
 
 
 So what should I do to play musicfiles from cd? .mp3, .sid and so on..

Music encoded as .mp3 sits on a data CD (usually CD-ROM mode 1), and
should be mounted first. See above.

Regular music CDs are written in different format (CD-DA). You do not
have to mount these.

Information for cvsup-without-gui-16.1h:

Comment:
General network file distribution system optimized for CVS (non-GUI version)


Description:
CVSup is a software package for distributing and updating collections
of files across a network.  It can efficiently and accurately mirror
all types of files, including sources, binaries, hard links, symbolic
links, and even device nodes.  CVSup's streaming communication
protocol and multithreaded architecture make it most likely the
fastest mirroring tool in existence today.  In addition to being
a great general-purpose mirroring tool, CVSup includes special
features and optimizations specifically tailored to CVS repositories.

This port of CVSup omits the GUI and does not require X11.  For a
version that includes the GUI, use the net/cvsup port.

WWW: http://www.cvsup.org/




How about the command which
 cvsup?

 which cvsup
/usr/local/bin/cvsup

If you get output from both of these commands you already have
 cvsup and can go about following the links I sent earlier to get the
 source and upgrade your system.

Ok, I suppose I already have it then. Horray! I'll get on with it. Thanks a lot.

 Micah

You could use the 'dig' command:

Data CD-ROMs have to be mounted before you access the files stored in a
track of the CD-ROM.  So, you'd have to use something like this to
access the mp3 files in a data CD-ROM:

# mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom

Audio CD-ROMs can be controlled with cdcontrol(1):

# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1

More details about data and audio CD-ROMs are described in the Handbook,
so you really *have* to look at the relevant section:

Re: updating in single-user mode

2005-10-25 Thread Dimitar Vasilev

 
  If this isn't a production machine, try it.  I have been doing
  system
  updates since 3.4 and not once have I booted into single user mode
  to
  compile my kernel or userland.  I've even done it as recently as
  two
  weeks ago.  I don't have a huge userbase, so my system is pretty
  quiet.

 I also just finished compiling world and compiling  installing my
 kernel in multi-user.  What's the big deal?  I did, though, go into
 single to test (boot) the kernel and install world.

 Does anyone have a clear understanding of why things can go wrong otherwise?
From time to time there are library bumps and it's better for you to
be in single user mode to upgrade your system properly.
I had ruined a mailserver when I updated the named on it from 8.x to
9.3.x - I was in multiuser, with securelevel turned on and the named
running.
After that I had to run couple of times the build to get everything fixed.
Now I run in multiuser buildworld et all on machines I have no serial
access to and before that I check with UPDATING to see what will fail
potentially.

probably a simple routing or firewall question

2005-10-25 Thread Dave


Hello,
   Hello,
   I've got a 5.4 box acting as a gateway/router and i have to set up 
another for another network. This one will rely on a different ip range, so 
i thought i'd hand it out while i'm doing the install via my dhcp server, 
this part works but the box can't get to the net to retrieve ports and so 
forth. I'm suspecting either a routing or firewall issue. I'm using pf and 
am natting all traffic from this new box to my external interface and 
passing all traffic, that should be working. My network range is 10.8.0.0 
and the range for this new box is 10.10.0.0 i believe my problem is here, 
i'm not sure where to fix it at, my gateway, this new box or both? I'd 
rather not make to many modifications to this new machine save what it needs 
to get going, ideally i'd like to hand it over, and have it be dropped in 
and go. It needs to be that simple, the person whose getting it has an 
impulsive habbit especially if something doesn't work right out of the box.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

   Regular music CDs are written in different format (CD-DA). You do not

  Where should I look when I want to open files from xmms, mixxx or some
  other program? Files from music-cds and data-cds..

 Data CD-ROMs have to be mounted before you access the files stored in a
 track of the CD-ROM.  So, you'd have to use something like this to
 access the mp3 files in a data CD-ROM:

 # mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom

 Audio CD-ROMs can be controlled with cdcontrol(1):

 # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1

 More details about data and audio CD-ROMs are described in the Handbook,
 so you really *have* to look at the relevant section:

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html

Oh, thank you, I didn't find this section before!

  Hey folks,
 
  I'm getting off cable (Comcast and 6 megabits) and

 service
  called Clear Wire (Wireless internet).
 
  I'm a bit baffled because Qwest says they have a
 deal
  that I could get DSL for $19.99 a month for a
 year. Of
  course the fine prints MSN is the ISP so forth and
 so
  on.
 
 
 [snip]
 
  How I had it previously was Comcast's modem to
  wireless router (Linksys WRT-54G), a little
 Linksys
  switch, FreeBSD and misc. Windows computers
 happily
  sharing the connection.
 
  Just to confirm, my guess is that this would not
 be
  the service to go with since I would love to have
 my
  spiffy Linksys Router (WRT-54G) hook to the DSL.
 And
  to the WR54G the usual network systems of FreeBSD,
 and
  misc Windows computers.
 
  If the above isn't going to work then I'm stuck
 with a
  different bundle (a few bucks more) that would
 allow
  me to do the same thing. I hope. I'm not familiar
 with
  the way in which DSL does its connectivity thing.
  Okay, I saw in a previous question that PPoE is
 needed
  with DSL. And I noticed that I could set my WRT54G
 to
  utilize PPoE, so maybe MSN ISP  Qwest service
 will
  work?
 
  So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as
 the
  ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly
 and
  that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to
  work with MSN as the ISP?
 
  Most appreciated. Gah, that means I'm probably not
  going to be needing my little WRT-54G router then.
 :~(
 
  Hope I wasn't to confusiong there.
 
 
 Your FreeBSD system will work fine.  You login
 credentials get  
 entered into the DSL router/modem.  If you want to
 do some  
 webhosting, etc out of your home, spend the extra
 money and utilize a  
 *real* ISP.  Even Qwest.net supports static IP
 addresses (up to a /26).
 
 HTH
Thanks for the reply, I think I will go that route or
at least check out the other option that is available
as well, Clearwire internet. I would like to do a few
things that cable wouldn't allow.

Problem with freebsd on epia

2005-10-25 Thread Lord Raiden

Hi all.  I've got a problem and I'm not sure if this is an xorg 
problem or a freebsd problem or a bit of both.  I've currently got an Epia 
SP13000 running Freebsd 5.3 and I'm trying to configure it for 
Xwindows.  Well, the kicker is, it uses the newer Via Unicrome pro graphics 
chip and I've been through the video config for xorg and can't find any 
trace of the driver for this, or any via driver anywhere.  Nor is there 
anything in the ports either.  What do I need to do to get the driver 
working on this so I can run X on this machine?  Many thanks in advance.  :D

Re: Installation problem with Freebsd 5.4

Hi,

If i install FreeBSD on to a HDD with a good machine where i have already
installed freebsd before and then move the HDD to that machine.

Will it work ??

This is what happens when I try to install freebsd on the machine

I can go till the step of Choosing distribution

After I choose the distribution it starts the installation

it shows transffering .. in a blue screen with a progress bar.

it then transfers 32 of 33 chunks

and then it comes up with the error mentioned before.

I would like to setup the gateway  and i want to use freebsd ..
because of it's power which i am learning now .

hope to get more guidance on the issue ...

 One thing you could try is to burn a 6.0-RC1 CD and try that. Test your

Yes, probably, that's definitely a decent idea and worth a try.

Sometimes this is simply a problem with the CD being dirty or not being read 
correctly.


This might also indicate your hardware is a little flaky.  The AMD Athlons are 
 fine processors, but the earlier AMD K6 and Cyrix CPUs are a bit less 
reliable and some contained interesting hardware flaws (like with the L2 cache).

I have mine in /root
It really doesn't matter where you place it because you will specify the 
name on the cvsup command line (something like cvsup /root/my-supfile). 
 The only reason to copy it somewhere is so that you still have the 
original in case something goes wrong.

Need to boot from CD and delete a file on the hard drive

2005-10-25 Thread Maude User

Hello All --
 
SUMMARY: 
I changed a configuration file and now I can no longer boot from my hard drive 
(but I can still 
 boot from the CD). I would like to boot from the CD and undo my change to the 
configuration 
file -- but when I boot from the CD it automatically launches the install 
program. Is there a way
 to boot from the boot CD and get a shell and make a change to a file on the 
hard drive? (I got 
an emergency shell after booting from the CD -- but I can't figure out how to 
access my hard 
drive filesystem from it.)

DETAILS:
I was trying to set up a serial console using the instructions here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
 
I typed the following at the prompt:
 
# echo 'console=comconsole'  /boot/loader.conf
 
then unplugged my regular keyboard and tried to reboot -- but the machine now 
freezes on 
bootup.
 
I now want to boot from a CD and remove the file /boot/loader.conf from the 
hard drive. Then I 
should be able to boot normally again from the hard drive.
 
I went into the BIOS and booted from the CD and this put me in the install 
program. I don't 
want to install everything again -- I just want to boot up from the CD and 
execute the following 
command at the prompt:
 
# rm /boot/loader.conf
 
After booting from the CD, I found a command in the install program to enter an 
emergency 
shell and accessed this shell by hitting ALT-F4 -- but if I do an rm command 
in this 
emergency shell, it doesn't apply to the filesystem on the hard drive -- it 
applies to the CD. I 
need to delete the file /boot/loader.conf while booting from the CD.
 
Is there any way to fix this without installing FreeBSD all over again?
 
Thanks.
 
Scott Alexander

The latter.  A few hundred bugs were fixed between 5.3 and 5.4, and
the former is no longer supported anyway.

  Sort of.  At one point, you could set the sticky bit on files as a hint to

 aah.. I always wondered what the sticky bit actually did..

See sticky(8).  It doesn't do any longer what the previous poster said.

Crontab and GPG?

2005-10-25 Thread Robert Wall

Hello!  I'm attempting to run GPG from cron, and it's not working.  I can run 
the script from the command line, and all works perfectly.  When I try to run 
it from cron, however, it doesn't work.  The crontab calls this script, called 
pgpdecrypt with the following crontab line:

*/1*   *   *   *   root/bin/bash /etc/pgpdecrypt

The /bin/bash wasn't originally there; I added it to make sure that the script 
was using the correct shell.  Still no luck.  Here's the script that it calls:

echo  /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger PGP Decrypter Starting
cd /home/folder
for filename in `ls *pgp`
do
gpg --batch --no-tty --passphrase-fd 0 --output 
/home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt --decrypt /home/folder/$filename  
/home/folder/pp
/home/folder/pgp-decrypted/import.pl /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt
echo  /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger /home/folder/$filename 
/home/folder/pgp-original/$filename
done

The output file is cheerfully logging the filenames appropriately.  
/var/log/messages doesn't contain any errors.  Anybody got any ideas?  Even if 
I could get a competent logging mechanism in place to see why GPG doesn't feel 
like running, that would be great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You're assuming gpg is in PATH, which it probably isn't.  crontab
errors aren't logged in /var/log/messages anyway (they're mailed to

Run /usr/bin/env (or wherever env is located on your system) from cron

What packages can I deinstall?

2005-10-25 Thread Pat Maddox

I've got a bunch of packages installed on my machine and I'd like to
know if I can deinstall any of them.  I know what a lot of them do,
and know what will happen if I deinstall them.  Others, I'm not really
sure.  For example I've got a package named cclient
(http://www.freshports.org/mail/cclient/) installed.  If I run
pkg_deinstall -n cclient, it says that it'd be removed without any
problems.  So evidently no other package is depending on
this...perhaps it's just an artifact from a package I installed a
while back but deinstalled?

Basically I'd like to clear out any unused packages.  Is it safe to
just run on pkg_deinstall -n on any package I don't recognize, and if
it isn't required as a dependency for another package go ahead and
delete it?

Thanks,
Pat

Can anyone using the Mylex A352 controller update/merge the following

FWIW, the bug is still present in 5.4-RELEASE. I have checked cvsweb
and I don't see any commits regarding this bug in the sys/dev/mly
directory, but I don't know if that's still the same driver name for

Re: Need to boot from CD and delete a file on the hard drive

2005-10-25 Thread Charles Howse

 Hello All --
  
 SUMMARY: 
 I changed a configuration file and now I can no longer boot from my hard drive
 (but I can still 
  boot from the CD). I would like to boot from the CD and undo my change to the
 configuration 
 file -- but when I boot from the CD it automatically launches the install
 program. Is there a way
  to boot from the boot CD and get a shell and make a change to a file on the
 hard drive? (I got
 an emergency shell after booting from the CD -- but I can't figure out how
 to access my hard
 drive filesystem from it.)
 
 DETAILS:
 I was trying to set up a serial console using the instructions here:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.
 html
  
 I typed the following at the prompt:
  
 # echo 'console=comconsole'  /boot/loader.conf
  
 then unplugged my regular keyboard and tried to reboot -- but the machine now
 freezes on 
 bootup.
  
 I now want to boot from a CD and remove the file /boot/loader.conf from the
 hard drive. Then I
 should be able to boot normally again from the hard drive.
  
 I went into the BIOS and booted from the CD and this put me in the install
 program. I don't 
 want to install everything again -- I just want to boot up from the CD and
 execute the following
 command at the prompt:
  
 # rm /boot/loader.conf
  
 After booting from the CD, I found a command in the install program to enter
 an emergency 
 shell and accessed this shell by hitting ALT-F4 -- but if I do an rm
 command in this 
 emergency shell, it doesn't apply to the filesystem on the hard drive -- it
 applies to the CD. I
 need to delete the file /boot/loader.conf while booting from the CD.
  
 Is there any way to fix this without installing FreeBSD all over again?

I've never done this...but...
Reboot the computer from the CD,
Look for the message:

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds...

At that point press any other key.
You should then be able to mount your /boot partition and delete the file,
however, you may have to look around on the CD for the appropriate commands.

optical mouse problem

2005-10-25 Thread Zsolt Kúti

Dear All,

I've got a Samsung PS/2 (SMOP5000WX) mouse that does not work. While
the pointer appears, it hectically wanders around the screen and
suddenly produces false keystroke-like actions.

Applying hint.psm.0.flags=0x0200 makes it a plain PS/2 mouse, that
works fine (no wheel then, of course).

Without that flag, configuration is OK with another PS/2 mouse, wheel
working. The optical mouse is recognized (4D+ Mouse). moused.c
contains code that in priciple handles this type, in practice not. I
tried various moused parameters, even serial types (I know, it
against what it is recommended in man) , NORESET as hint, none of them
helped.


What could I try to get it operate normally?

Or better leave it alone and go for a new one?


Thanks!

 Their fine print -

Don't forget the finer print.  Invisible print might be a better
term; good luck even finding it before committing yourself.  More
below.

 home phone pac kage ($24.99 otherwise), free

Check out which phone pac that is.  I doubt very much if regular
phone service is considered to be a home phone pac; I mangaged to find
(after considerable searching) their page for ordering non-pac phone
service to get a 12.50 basic service (before more than that in various
fees and taxes, one which seems to be part of _their_ taxes -- grrr).

 restrictions may apply. MSN ISP requires agreement to
 MSN Acceptable Use Policy.

Yeah, after considerable searching I found a MSN Subscription
Agreement link at http://support.msn.com/ which took me to a member
sign-in form.  Do you really want to do business with a company that
does business like that?

 So am I right in still thinking that with MSN as the
 ISP my setup it isn't going to be FreeBSD friendly and
 that my spiffy little Comcast setup isn't going to
 work with MSN as the ISP?

I can't help you; and I wouldn't help MSN if I could.  I know I
first bought a (used) modem that was guaranteed to work with
Qwest and a non-MSFT ISP, but I later learned that it would only
work with Qwest+MSN and had to pay a restocking fee to get most
of my money back.  Grrr.


I found what seems (in about 5 mo) to be a good ISP at opusnet.com .
Relatively good contract terms and in actual practice, so far.  And
about as cheap as they come.


Note that _almost_ all ISPs have indemnity clauses whereby you agree
to pay their legal and other costs if some third party makes claims
against the ISP which involve you in any way, whether or not you've
done anything wrong in most such clauses.  Another facter is how far
away the courthouse and your lawyer would be.

Last time I looked, Quest had no indemnity clause for their pure DSL
service, but they had one in their ISP contract and, of course, MSN
does too.  I say of course, but I should note that MSN.net is one of
increasingly-few web sites that has no indemnity clause in the
site-use contract.  Even such open source sites as Slashdot have
them these days.  I assume the risk of using such sites in read-only
mode, but seldom, if ever, post anything to them.  BTW, my insurance
guy knows of no personal insurance against such indemnity risks.


I bought a DSL modem at Fry's for about 10 $ more than Qwest's, mostly
because Qwest has given me many reasons to dislike and distrust them
and partly because my modem has a 2-yr guarantee. It is a Zoom ADSL X5
and seems to work fine and was easy to configure once I got past some
problem that I had with Mozilla not accessing the modem's
configuration web forms correctly.  (I've already forgotten the
cause.)  Beware that the Zoom modem package says in big print that it
comes with DSL filters and in fine print it says how many it comes
with, which I didn't notice was _zero_. Grrr.)

With the Zoom modem, at least, you may configure it to run DHCP and
give the modem a fixed (eg, 10.something) IP address or run DHCP on
whatever you connect to the modem.  The Zoom X5 is also a 4-port
router, but this one was not wireless like the Qwest modem.


Finally, beware that a few weeks ago DSL providers like Qwest got
permission (from the US gov) to refuse to do business (after 2005,
IIRC) with good ISPs like opusnet.com, so don't be suprised if your
choice in 2006 is between Qwest+MSN and Comcast+Comcast.  Grr.

Re: Need to boot from CD and delete a file on the hard drive

2005-10-25 Thread Charles Howse

 Hello All --
  
 SUMMARY: 
 I changed a configuration file and now I can no longer boot from my hard
 drive
 (but I can still
  boot from the CD). I would like to boot from the CD and undo my change to
 the
 configuration 
 file -- but when I boot from the CD it automatically launches the install
 program. Is there a way
  to boot from the boot CD and get a shell and make a change to a file on the
 hard drive? (I got
 an emergency shell after booting from the CD -- but I can't figure out how
 to access my hard
 drive filesystem from it.)
 
 DETAILS:
 I was trying to set up a serial console using the instructions here:
 
 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup
.
 html
  
 I typed the following at the prompt:
  
 # echo 'console=comconsole'  /boot/loader.conf
  
 then unplugged my regular keyboard and tried to reboot -- but the machine now
 freezes on 
 bootup.
  
 I now want to boot from a CD and remove the file /boot/loader.conf from the
 hard drive. Then I
 should be able to boot normally again from the hard drive.
  
 I went into the BIOS and booted from the CD and this put me in the install
 program. I don't
 want to install everything again -- I just want to boot up from the CD and
 execute the following
 command at the prompt:
  
 # rm /boot/loader.conf
  
 After booting from the CD, I found a command in the install program to enter
 an emergency 
 shell and accessed this shell by hitting ALT-F4 -- but if I do an rm
 command in this 
 emergency shell, it doesn't apply to the filesystem on the hard drive -- it
 applies to the CD. I
 need to delete the file /boot/loader.conf while booting from the CD.
  
 Is there any way to fix this without installing FreeBSD all over again?
 
 I've never done this...but...
 Reboot the computer from the CD,
 Look for the message:
 
 Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
 Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds...
 
 At that point press any other key.
 You should then be able to mount your /boot partition and delete the file,
 however, you may have to look around on the CD for the appropriate commands.

Apologies for replying to my own msg, but I just 'had' to try what I told
you, and there are no tools such as 'mount', or 'rm' available when booting
to a command prompt as I said.
I tried the Emergency Shell from the CD, same thing.
Sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase, but I'm sure you'll get the correct
answer soon.

You probably want pkg_cutleaves.  If you're not using portupgrade,
it's possible that your dependency database may be inconsistent
(e.g. if you've done pkg_delete -f or failed to uninstall old versions
before installing new ones over the top).  Run pkgdb -F to check
consistency first.

Yes and no.  Masquerading is for mail which passes through the server, 
which includes mail being delivered locally from some other machine.


OK, that makes sense.

Next question, since sendmail is _already_ rewriting the address, why will
adding still more rewritng stop it from  doing what it is doing now, since
Masquerading isn't enabled presently.


There's a big long discussion of this in cf/README, but reasonable people have 
been known to find sendmail documentation non-informative.  :-)


It might be the case that using statements of the form:

VIRTUSER_DOMAIN(`example.com')dnl

...in your .mc file may help exclude them from canonification.

It may also be the case that what you want to do is going to be better handled 
by two SMTP servers, one as an external gateway, using and exposed to DNS and 
your wildcard MX records, and one internal mailserver which handles  local 
delivery, masquerading, a mailertable distributing mail to any other local SMTP 
destinations (think mailserver/listservers running on other machines), and even 
use FEATURE nocanonify if you want to/have to disregard DNS entirely.


Put a spamfilter/virusfilter on your external relay, which will then serve as 
your SMART_HOST for the internal mailserver.

The option you are looking for is fixit from the install disk menu.
This'll get you a command prompt. You will have to manually mount the
partion that boot is on then you can delete, rename, edit, etc the file
in question.

It should be safe to do as long as you are fairly sure you don't need 
it.  There's a KDE program called gpkgdep (sysutils/gpkgdep) that let's 
you see what depends on a package.  It also lets you simulate the 
deinstall of different packages.  It might be quicker than the command 
line tools to find those packages,  though you still have to 
pkg_deinstall manually.
