Re: problem with vidcontrol
Thank you for your answer Gilbert. I find that the problem is in a bug in kernel or in my motherboard because when I use vidcontrol to change the resolution with only one module it works fine... but when I put the second module in the motherboard... it fails I notify to FreeBSD the problem writing it in problem reports # Options to change console resolution optionsVESA optionsSC_PIXEL_MODE I have done the same on my laptop. Well, I only compiled a new kernel with SC_PIXEL_MODE and I load the VESA module on boot. The problem is that when I try to change to a graphic resolution like 800x600x16, 1024x768x16 or 1280x1024x16 my computer hangs and the box sometimes start to make a continuous noise with the internal speaker. I assume you did use vidcontrol -i mode and then you are trying to change the raster resolution using : vidcontrol MODE_XXX where XXX is the code for the mode you want, and which appears as supported when using vidcontrol -i mode ? When I use vidcontrol -i mode I can see that the modes that I try are supported by my hardware, modes like 273, 276, 279 and 282. Some won't work. On my own laptop (Thinkpad IBM X30) I have some modes that either give me a black screen while others give me a faint display with flickering vertical refresh. I use the real resolution from the 12 screen and it works : 1024x768 using 16 bit (works in 32 bit also). Have you loaded on this terminal a 8x8 font so the display is OK when you change the resolution too ? -- unzip ; strip ; touch ; grep ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; fsck ; umount ; sleep ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to redirect mail sent to root to external mailbox?
Hi list, I operate several servers, one of which is at home, behind NAT. The local network is configured to use the domainname nieser.local., which obviously only exists on the local (forwarding) nameserver. To be able to send e-mail from this machine (which would normally be rejected by any MTA because of the non-existent 'from' domainname ) I have configured sendmail to masquerade e-mail sent from the royen.nieser.local machine as royen.nieser.net which resolves to the external IP adress of the DSL gateway device (which has smtp forwarded to the royen.nieser.local machine). The above setup *mostly* (see below) works, e-mail that I send from the server has it's royen.nieser.local hostname properly substituted with royen.nieser.net). Now, to make monitoring all the servers I operate easier, I wanted to forward all mail sent to root (including the periodic output), by putting root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the /etc/mail/aliases file, as the comments in this file suggested: # Pretty much everything else in this file points to root, so # you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or forwarding # root's email from here. But here's the weird thing, the periodic mail doesn't get masqueraded and therefore gets rejected by the remote MTA. The rejected message which gets sent back to the root account, however, *does* get masqueraded properly and subsequently forwarded to the e-mail I specified in the /etc/mail/aliases file! Also, when I ssh to the royen machine and type periodic daily on the commandline, the mail it generates DOES get masqueraded correctly... What's going on here? I'm having a real hard time getting my head around this because of all the redirecting and forwarding and perhaps lack of in-depth knowledge of smtp/sendmail... I have my sendmail configuration attached (also mirrored at http://nieser.net/files/sendmail/1/ ). I'd rather keep the nieser.local/nieser.net domainnames seperate and use masquerading because the whole NAT setup is confusing enough for me as it is, having the same domainname resolve to different adresses for the LAN and the Internet would probably drive me mad. Can anyone assist? PS: The domainnames used in my problem description above may not actually resolve as I've tried to simplify my problem by using more logical names.

high CPU activity for interrupts
Hello, From time to time I see an increasing temperature of the CPU of my laptop and figured out that this has to do with a high load of the CPU for 'interrupts' while the system itself is nearly unused (only KDE with a few windows are up): top(1) shows it like this: CPU states: 0.8% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 22.9% interrupt, 76.0% idle What could I do to figure out what's going on? BTW: Some times ago I've asked for a small desktop gadget for showing the CPU temperature; I wrote it like this: $ xterm -geometry 8x1 -e '/home/guru/termal.sh' $ cat termal.sh #!/bin/sh # while true; do clear printf %s %s `sysctl -a | fgrep tempe | sed 's/^.*: //'` sleep 15 done I set the window properties to not having borders and it stays there relaunched all the time by KDE again (you may see it here: http://www.sisis.de/~guru/temp.jpg to get the idea). matthias -- Matthias Apitz / Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g / D-82041 Oberhaching Fon: ++49 89 / 61308-351, Fax: -399, Mobile ++49 170 4527211 http://www.sisis.de/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: How to redirect mail sent to root to external mailbox?
Hi list,
I operate several servers, one of which is at home, behind
NAT. The local network is configured to use the domainname
nieser.local., which obviously only exists on the local
(forwarding) nameserver.
To be able to send e-mail from this machine (which would
normally be rejected by any MTA because of the non-existent
'from' domainname ) I have configured sendmail to masquerade
e-mail sent from the royen.nieser.local machine as
royen.nieser.net which resolves to the external IP adress
of the DSL gateway device (which has smtp forwarded to the
royen.nieser.local machine).
The above setup *mostly* (see below) works, e-mail that I
send from the server has it's royen.nieser.local hostname
properly substituted with royen.nieser.net).
Now, to make monitoring all the servers I operate easier, I
wanted to forward all mail sent to root (including the
periodic output), by putting
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the /etc/mail/aliases file, as
the comments in this file suggested:
# Pretty much everything else in this file points to root,
so # you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or
forwarding # root's email from here.
But here's the weird thing, the periodic mail doesn't get
masqueraded and
therefore gets rejected by the remote MTA. The rejected
message which
gets sent back to the root account, however, *does* get
masqueraded properly and subsequently forwarded to the e-mail
I specified in the /etc/mail/aliases file!
Also, when I ssh to the royen machine and type periodic
daily on the commandline, the mail it generates DOES get
masqueraded correctly...
What's going on here? I'm having a real hard time getting my
head around this because of all the redirecting and
forwarding and perhaps lack of in-depth knowledge of
smtp/sendmail... I have my sendmail configuration attached
(also mirrored at http://nieser.net/files/sendmail/1/ ).
I'd rather keep the nieser.local/nieser.net domainnames
seperate and use masquerading because the whole NAT setup is
confusing enough for me as it is, having the same domainname
resolve to different adresses for the LAN and the Internet
would probably drive me mad.
Can anyone assist?
PS: The domainnames used in my problem description above may
not actually resolve as I've tried to simplify my problem by
using more logical names.
This is really a sendmail question I believe. Your problem is probably
because root doesn't get masqueraded. In your sendmail.cf, is there a line
like the following:
CEroot
or
C{E}root
If so, comment it out and restart sendmail.

Makefile and Kernel Optimizations in 6.0
I am presently running FreeBSD 5.4, but am considering upgrading to version 6.0 in the near future. I have read on this forum that the /etc/make.conf file has been moved in version 6.0. I assume that although it has been moved, that it still serves the same purpose as it did in the 5.4 version. Is that correct? I also read somewhere that version 6 has CFLAGS=O2 set by default. Does it also have COPTFLAGS=-O2 set or does it make any difference? Finally, I was using something I found in the BSD Hacks book distributed by O'Reilly. It has a section on Kernel Optimizations and recommends assigning this to the kernel immediately after the i386 line. Makeoptions COPTFLAGS=O2 - pipe Actually it goes on to recommend '-funroll-loops' and '-ffast-math' as well. Since I do not know what those two are about, I never used them. In any case, is it recommended to use any optimization in the kernel in the new 6.0 version?

Thanks to both of you! This appears to be causing my problems. (I
haven't been able to actually test it yet because when I su -l to root

ftpd security/configuration question
Hello! Probably a stupid question, but this has bugged me for a while and for reasons unknown, I just cannot seem to figure this out. I wish to operate my FTP server (ftpd) in the anonymous access mode. However, what I desire to do is configure it so that the absolute root directory of anonymous users is “/var/ftp/pub”. In other words, typing “cd ..” will not let anonymous users to see the “/var/ftp/bin” or the “/var/ftp/etc” directories (or their files). I am running FreeBSD 5.3 stable. I have tried various methods described in some of the other message boards, but I believe those were referencing previous releases of FreeBSD. I also noticed that while the current FTP server is running, I do not have a lot of the files the handbook references, other than ftpusers, which is located in the /etc directory (note: not in the “/var/ftp/etc” directory. Files such as “/etc/ftpchroot”, “/etc/ftpmotd”, and “/ftpwelcome” are not present. I did manually create the ftpwelcome file and placed copies in both the “/etc” and “/var/ftp/etc” directories. However, it does not get displayed prior to the FTP login prompt as the handbook suggests. So, two questions: Is what I am trying to accomplish possible? What am I missing or need to do to accomplish these things?

xterm conflicts with xorg-clients
After running cvsup and portupgrade, I'm having some problems with xterm and some other programs. Portupgrade failed because of the following: === xterm-206_1 conflicts with installed package(s): xorg-clients-6.8.2 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 And then skipped a bunch of packages. Then i manually deinstalled xterm (that was wrong perhaps?) and now when running portupgrade again it is complaining about some stale dependency to xterm. For example: Stale dependency: amarok-1.3.6 -- xterm-206 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. Then running pkgdb -F asks me alot of questions regarding this stale dependency and I am not sure what to do with it. Then I read in UPDATING that one must upgrade xorg-clients before xterm, but when i tried portupgrade xorg-clients I got: Stale dependency: xorg-clients-6.8.2 -- xterm-206 Hmm, going in circles.

Re: Makefile and Kernel Optimizations in 6.0
On Mon, Nov 14, 2005 at 10:23:22AM -0500, Gerard Seibert wrote: I have read on this forum that the /etc/make.conf file has been moved in version 6.0. I assume that although it has been moved, that it still serves the same purpose as it did in the 5.4 version. Is that correct? It hasn't been moved. It's still /etc/make.conf. The names of some variables have changed from NOFOO to NO_FOO. I also read somewhere that version 6 has CFLAGS=O2 set by default. Does it also have COPTFLAGS=-O2 set or does it make any difference? I didn't notice the difference on a 2.4 GHz amd64. Makeoptions COPTFLAGS=O2 - pipe Actually it goes on to recommend '-funroll-loops' and '-ffast-math' as well. Since I do not know what those two are about, I never used them. In any case, is it recommended to use any optimization in the kernel in the new 6.0 version? You can have it in the config file or in make.conf, both work. I don't think that the kernel uses floating point, so -ffast-math shouldn't make a lot of difference. The -pipe flag speeds up the compilation somewhat, but has no effect on the generated code. The -funroll-loops replaces loops of which the size is known by serial instructions. This is somewhat faster but generates larger binaries. Complete information about what an option does is available in the info file of gcc. You can type 'info gcc' to read it, or use the info reader built into emacs. Unless you have an app that takes hours or days to run, I wouldn't worry about optimization settings.

Special characters?
Hi, How can I create the following characters: ïäéèçë (and others) in an X-session without copy pasting them from Gnome Character map? Thus I want to use the keyboard to use these characters in an easy way. Also, I'd like to bind keys to them myself. I have seen the deathkeys option in the gnome keyboard configuration, but that basically binds e to ë, but I don't seem to be able to configure it myself. I have seen Xmodmap, but configuring that also takes a lot of time. Any other options?

Re: 6.0R GENERIC makeoptions DEBUG=-g [Slightly OT]
Robert Watson wrote: On Mon, 14 Nov 2005, Simon Ironside wrote: /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC has this line uncommented - is this on purpose? I commented it out before building a new kernel. makeoptions DEBUG=-g This was by accident, but actually isn't a bad idea. We discovered the problem at the last minute, after the 6.0-R builds had completed, and as they were rsyncing to mirrors. After thinking about it for a few minutes, we decided that actually, it has some nice benefits that made it worth not rebuilding and re-mirroring. If we were earlier in the release cycle, we might have changed the setting, however. We identified a few specific upsides and downsides: Good: We now have debugging symbols easily available and widely accessible for the GENERIC kernel shipped with the release. This makes it much easier for developers to debug problems using that kernel, as we no longer need to ask end-users to build a kernel with debugging symbols, etc, in order to debug a problem. Especially for a .0 release, this is a very useful, and has presented a problem in previous releases. Bad: Kernel build times are now significantly slower, and required space to build a kernel significantly larger by default. We'll see how it settles out -- CPUs are a lot larger, and disks a lot bigger than they used to be. The kernel is stripped of debugging symbols before it is installed, so this is only potentially a problem on systems that already have enough space to hold source, builds, etc, and doesn't affect systems where the kernel is installed but not built. I.e., this doesn't affect the footprint for embedded systems, or systems where a kernel is built centrally and then distributed. My recommendation would be to leave -g in unless you know that the added build time and disk space for the build process will be a problem for you. If I were to decide to remove this, and I have a small config file which includes GENERIC, what directive would I use. For example, with a device I wish to remove I can use nodevice... for options, nooptions. nomakeoptions maybe? Also... I once saw someone ask this and never saw a reply Where can I find documentation of the above mentioned mechanism? Thanks. Hopefully you don't ever run into any problems requiring debug symbols, but if you do it will probably save you some time and hassle, especially if it's a problem that occurs once every six months, in which case rebooting with a kernel with known symbol layout will mean waiting six months to debug the problem. :-) Robert N M Watson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dhclient.leases grows forever?
I've recently upgraded to version 6, and I'm using the new dhclient. It seems to be working happily, but I've noticed that /var/db/dhclient.leases.rl0 just keeps growing and growing, with new leases being added to the end. Leases that expired several hours ago remain in the file. According to the manpage for dhclient.leases, this database is supposed to contain only leases that are still valid, yet the expiration time on many of them has long since passed. Is there a bug, a misconfiguration, or am I responsible for setting up my own script for purging this thing? I can't find any cron-driven script that cleans up this file, so I'm wondering if dhclient is supposed to handle this itself, and if so, when? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That will work but the config will get overwritten on

Yeah, I looked all over /usr/share/sendmail to find that config, but I
couldn't. When I resolved this, I think I modified the template that the

anyone can pass on what macro it is that controls this.
A glance at the bat book tells me the exception (no masquerading) is
inserted by

Doh! I see it now. FreeBSD doesn't do it this way (so no CE root).
For FreeBSD, non-masquerading for root is simply set by an entry in
/etc/mail/exposed-user-names, which is brought in by the
EXPOSED_USER_FILE directive in the default mc file. Edit
exposed-user-names to your heart's content (and pay attention in
case mergemaster throws it back at you during upgrades), and all
should be well.

after doing a portupgrade today I've got things messed up. I didn't read /usr/ports/UPDATING. I have now un-installed xterm and xorg-clients and am now trying to put them back in. I'm trying xorg-clients first but I get this error. xdriinfo.o(.text+0x5b): In function `main': : undefined reference to `glXGetProcAddress' *** Error code 1 How can I get these ports re-installed? thanks, Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's something the port maintainers would have to speak to, though! I actually have no idea that the problem didn't exist since Jan, since I think I installed nvidia-driver after xorg-clients, so wouldn't have seen the problem. Glad the portdowngrade worked for you. I would just leave those two ports alone for a while until you either see something on this list, or see them being updated through cvsup (or check the ports changes page on the freebsd web site every now and again). Or just try upgrading xorg-clients again in a week. If it doesn't fail, then upgrade xterm.

Re: 6.0R GENERIC makeoptions DEBUG=-g
On Mon, 14 Nov 2005, Simon Ironside wrote: /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC has this line uncommented - is this on purpose? I commented it out before building a new kernel. makeoptions DEBUG=-g This was by accident, but actually isn't a bad idea. We discovered the problem at the last minute, after the 6.0-R builds had completed, and as they were rsyncing to mirrors. After thinking about it for a few minutes, we decided that actually, it has some nice benefits that made it worth not rebuilding and re-mirroring. If we were earlier in the release cycle, we might have changed the setting, however. We identified a few specific upsides and downsides: Good: We now have debugging symbols easily available and widely accessible for the GENERIC kernel shipped with the release. This makes it much easier for developers to debug problems using that kernel, as we no longer need to ask end-users to build a kernel with debugging symbols, etc, in order to debug a problem. Especially for a .0 release, this is a very useful, and has presented a problem in previous releases. Bad: Kernel build times are now significantly slower, and required space to build a kernel significantly larger by default. We'll see how it settles out -- CPUs are a lot larger, and disks a lot bigger than they used to be. The kernel is stripped of debugging symbols before it is installed, so this is only potentially a problem on systems that already have enough space to hold source, builds, etc, and doesn't affect systems where the kernel is installed but not built. I.e., this doesn't affect the footprint for embedded systems, or systems where a kernel is built centrally and then distributed. My recommendation would be to leave -g in unless you know that the added build time and disk space for the build process will be a problem for you. Hopefully you don't ever run into any problems requiring debug symbols, but if you do it will probably save you some time and hassle, especially if it's a problem that occurs once every six months, in which case rebooting with a kernel with known symbol layout will mean waiting six months to debug the problem. :-) Robert N M Watson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ntp handling in 6.0
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. My server box does indeed have ntpd running i
confirmed it with ps -aux and it does have a pf firewall. The rules are:
# allow UDP requests to port 123 from firewall to exit ext_if_if
# in order to contact internet ntp servers
# (keep state on this connection)
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto { tcp, udp} from $ext_if to any port
123 keep state
# allow UDP requests to ports 67, 68, and 123 from # in order to perform
dhcp and ntp queries on the firewall
# ( Keep state on this connection)
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto { tcp,udp } from $int_net to $int_if
port { 67, 68, 123 } keep state
and ntpdc shows me a prompt.
Hope this helps.
Dave.

run ntpdate -b IP from another machine i get the error No servers

I am not trying to complain, just want to figure out if I stumbled on a bug, or if these is just another instance of me boinking my own system. The problem is that you have ports that rely on the OLDER version of the library than that installed by the current port. This is because you didn't upgrade them properly. When you upgrade a port like glib, you need to also upgrade everything that depends on glib. The easiest way to do this is using a tool like portupgrade (Michael will tell you to use portmanager :-) Kris P.S. The symlinks you created may cause the application to be unstable, since the new and old libraries are not identical and do not have the same interface. pgpwRiULfDRJJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have read on this forum that the /etc/make.conf file has been moved in version 6.0. I assume that although it has been moved, that it still serves the same purpose as it did in the 5.4 version. Is that correct? I also read somewhere that version 6 has CFLAGS=O2 set by default. Does it also have COPTFLAGS=-O2 set or does it make any difference? Finally, I was using something I found in the BSD Hacks book distributed by O'Reilly. It has a section on Kernel Optimizations and recommends assigning this to the kernel immediately after the i386 line. Makeoptions COPTFLAGS=O2 - pipe Actually it goes on to recommend '-funroll-loops' and '-ffast-math' as well. Since I do not know what those two are about, I never used them. In any case, is it recommended to use any optimization in the kernel in the new 6.0 version? It's recommended to use the default settings, of course :) You're unlikely to see a real difference with different compiler optimizations, and adding weird non-standard options may even cause problems. Kris P.S. -funroll-loops and -ffast-math are commonly used by people who don't understand what they mean but like the thrill it gives them to compile their application with secret optimizations (e.g. the word fast makes them feel excited). However, the former is often not actually an optimization (which is why it's not on by default), and the latter can cause incorrect computations (but I think it's completely irrelevant in the kernel which does not do FP math). pgp4OK1cPgSRP.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hello, Before you do anything, you should first back up all the data from the disk that failed onto a new disk, given that the disk has already failed, there is the very real possibility that it will fail again, soon. Put simply, the loader is not executing the kernel. There are a number of possible reasons for this: 1 - the loader is not able to work out what disk to attempt the boot process on, 2 - the loader has found a disk, but cannot find the kernel, 3 - the loader has found the kernel but is unable to load it. You said lsdev can find disk1, so I suspect that it cannot find the kernel. The kernel is a file on the file system. Given that you said the disk failed, then i would suspect that an fsck is required on the root file system (after you have backup of all data you want to protect). After you have done the fsck, you might want to also go into the /boot directory and make sure the file kernel still actually exists. Regards, TIm. __ Yahoo!
