Re: installation
I use Linux, but for a project I am doing it involves the BSD port system so now I want to experience it for myself. As I said I have Linux and Windows with GRUB. If I try and install FreeBSD will it detect I already have grub, a swap drive? Will it also give me an option to partition it? FreeBSD doesn't detect the MBR, the MBR detects the bootable slices. So, that concept is backwards. If you mean will it overwrite GRUB, no. It will ask during installation if you want to write the FreeBSD MBR. If you want to keep Grub, just tell it not to write an MBR. You will have to tell it which pieces of disk to use as swap. That generally goes in /etc/fstab. The sysinstall utility will give you options to do whatever you want with the drive including wipe it and start over. I presume you don't want that, so study it up a bit and select the most meaningful options during boot.

Re: Upgrade 5.4 - 6.0
Hi there! Can someone tell me the proper steps for upgrading from 5.4 - 6.0? I have also stuff installed from the ports collection, eg. cyrus-imapd, clamav, etc. First follow the handbook for rebuilding world and kernel. The first thing you should do is cvsup your source. As far as I've understood, it's recommended to upgrade to 6.0-release first, and then to 6.0-stable if you want that. When you've upgraded the base and kernel, you can sync your portstree with portsnap or cvsup, and use either portsupgrade or portmanager to upgrade all extra packages that you have installed. If you don't have a quick machine, you might want to use the package-switch to make it check for precompiled packages before building from source. Relevant handbook refs. I think would be: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/portsnap.html //Torgeir ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ipmon syslog facility in FreeBSD 6.0
Hello! What syslog facility is ipmon using on FreeBSD 6.0? From the documentation I don't see that anything is supposed to be changed from 5.4, where it was 'security'. So on my freshly-installed FreeBSD 6.0 I made modifications to /etc/syslog.conf similar to those that work on 5.4. Basically I added this as the first uncommented line to /etc/syslog.conf security.* /var/log/ipfilter However, nothing is logged to /var/log/ipfilter. I'm using the default value for ipmon_flags in /etc/rc.conf and ps output shows that '/sbin/ipmon -Ds' is running. At the same time, ipfstat -ih shows increasing number of hits on rules which have 'log' keyword in them. The logfile /var/log/ipfilter exists and is mode 0600, owner root:wheel. When I enable all.log in syslog.conf, ipmon messages are logged to all.log. So it seems like I'm not using the correct facility for /var/log/ipfilter. How can I find out what the correct facility is? I tried reading the source, but it's beyond my comprehension (except contrib/ipfilter/Makefile, which seems to imply that it's still 'security'). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can I set my FreeBSD box up to be able to enter such characters manually? You can produce whatever character you like by using the alt key and the number pad. Hold down alt and type the ascii value (in base 10) on the number pad. When you release the alt key, the character will be sent as if it had been typed. Note that this only works with the number pad. I suppose keeping Xorg from intercepting these key combinations and doing nothing with them is more complicated... (I just get beeps, no characters) Any clues on that?

Re: Copying kernel and OS
It should work fine. You need to preserve mod and access times as well as flags and permissions. If you are going to do this on a repeated basis, I'd look into something like cvsup or rsync, maybe even mirror, to keep the slow machines directory structures in sync rather than a cp -Rp. Paul.

I build on the fast machine, and then use NFS to allow the slow machine to access /usr/src and /usr/obj. I have found that it is important to preserve the names of the directories, so that they are also called /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow machine. Then I just do mergemaster, make installworld, make installkernel (in the appropriate order) on the slow machine, and it works like a charm.

Re: gnome2
well somewhere in the middle of make install packets for gnome2 it stuck. I --ctrl-C-- it looked for the gdm.sh script in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and there was nothing. Went to ~/.xinitric and commented exec gnome-session I only left in /etc/rc.conf the gdm_enable=YES and restarted the machine (laptop). Gnome started without any prob! beats me completely! I would like to ask you what do you think of Fluxbox and XFce and if for a windows user they are better than gnome.

MySQL forgot some of my data!
Our company has a few very large databases (9gb) which required a shut down, upgrade and restart last night, it this act has caused me all manour of headache: 1. I did a full backup of all the data (Good Idea) 2. I ran mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown 3. I waited... and waited... and waited Twenty minutes passed and the server continued to say that it was indeed shutting down. The only problem was that it wasn't shutting down. The server's load was 0.00 and i could access mysql via the command-line client. Ctrl-C'ing the shutdown and restarting it didn't seem to help either. What's worse, logging in with the client had me freaking out when I couldn't find some of my data: mysql SELECT * FROM campaigns LIMIT 0; ERROR 1017 at line 1: Can't find file: 'campaigns.MYI' (errno: 2) After some investigation, we realised that a cron on another machine was running every minute, talking to this database, and assuming that this was the issue, we turned that stuff off too only to find that mysqladmin *STILL* wouldn't actually shut anything down. So I decided to try a few other things: # kill -s SIGTERM `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` nothing # kill `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` still nothing # kill -9 `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` That did it. Bringing the database back up though confirmed it, we'd lost a few whole tables and possibly some additional data as well. No data corruption though, just loss. A full restore from our now roughly 24hours old backup would be required. So my questions to you, deal list are: 1. Should mysqladmin shutdown take this long? a. Is this normal even with a load of 0.00? 2. Is this the best way to shut down a database of this size? 3. What is most likely to be the cause of the data loss? Thanks for any insight here. I hope this is a lesson to you all: Backups are Groovy ;-) -- democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic or political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests. - albert Einstein ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you see none@ lines, this means that no drivers did attach to the hardware. Then you either need to recompile you kernel og load the correct kernel module or, if the hardware is not supported, either write a new driver yourself or replace the hardware (or the os).

Problem with ral wifi driver
You're here, great! I am new to this, so please bear with me ... I've been trying to set up this Ralink Technology RT2500, identifying as ral0 on my server so that my laptop can connect to it and the internet. My gateway and firewall (pf) settings are all OK, so we can skip those, because my setup worked with regular network interfaces before I bought the wireless one. I know the Prism chipsets are preferred over the Ralink ones, but I am currently out of cash. On my server, rl0 goes to my DHCP ADSL router whereas ral0 is suppose to be 192.168.0.1 and connect to my laptop, 192.168.0.2. This is how I tried setting it up: # ifconfig ral0inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 \ mode 11b mediaopt adhoc ssid jah wepmode on wepkey 0x316e347465 The hex key here is correct, for 1n4te. I did a echo 1n4te | hexdump -C to get it. But when doing: # ifconfig ral0 wepmode on wepkey 0x316e347465 ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument. The same goes for: # ifconfig ral0 wepmode on wepkey 12345 ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument.

smartfilter, linux and you
We are attempting to get Smartfilter (content filter that plugs into squid) to work on FreeBSD 6.0. A while ago, Smartfilter use to come as a port for FreeBSD, but after a while they no longer support BSD, only Linux and Solaris. I decided that now it's time to upgrade to a new version (of Smartfilter and the OS) yet again, I would like to replace the Red Had ES 3 server with a BSD box, not a newer RedHat box. Smartfilter's content plugin is designed for RHES 4, and I am trying to get it to work on 6.0 so I have run into a few problems, most which have been overcome, but this one persists. My problem that I am running into now is different then my other compiling/library problems. I did a pre-compile on the RHES 4 server, and now I am trying to compile squid on the FreeBSD 6.0 box. I can't seem to find out what library is missing here. I have done google, did a make all -dA and that's all I got down below. The other errors I could tell what was missing, this one has me scratching my head. I have tried to bypass that file to see what happens, and when I go to install it gives me the same missing library /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbsd on a different file. I thought that was interesting to say the least, so I know it's used in more then one spot.

Some swear by Amanda, others insist Bacula works best with Samba, just curious is all. Amanda is the one that works with Samba. Bacula has its own client/server software. I have a similar home network. I used Bacula for over a year. I used the SQLite database for the catalog and backed up to a Raid array. I chose bacula because it allows me to have a single backup solution for both Windows and BSD machines, and the only thing I need to set up for communication is TCP/IP. I had some serious deadlocking problems with bacula recently, and was led to believe that those problems were corrected in the version that's currently in the ports collection. However I'm now having hardware problems (why did I buy a $20 RAID controller?) and am unable to make backups of any kind. I will probably give bacula another try after I fix my hardware problems. I have never tried Amanda. These are the only two solutions I know of for making automated backups of both Windows and BSD machines. I've read that bacula can make a backup that's complete enough to do a bare metal recovery on BSD. Thankfully I've never had the opportunity to test that myself. I don't believe either bacula or amanda can make a complete enough backup to do a bare metal recovery of a Windows machine because Windows locks so many critical system files while it's in operation. I wonder if a combination of Microsoft's backup utilities and Samba might accomplish this. There are several simple and good backup solutions for FreeBSD.

Re: Bacula vs. Amanda vs. whatever ...
Well I use amanda. It's DB doesn't need an external one like bacula so restores can be less troublesome.

RE: simple shell script
Beech,
For what it is worth, and if you are interested in
another method, here is a ruby script that I found
somewhere and tweaked up a bit more.
(Probably not the best ruby, but it was my learning effort)
It is called by cron, and does a website 'connectivity'
test, ie it attempts to get the specified page. The script
then generates a go/nogo email and exits.
This was built to monitor a web site at an ISP that was
having serious brain damage with managing the DNS records
(they deleted the active list...;-( )
And it is still running as a health check to this day...
Run it _without_ the -v option and it will only email
when the remote site has a problem...
The ruby script
--8
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'getoptlong'
require 'open-uri'
require 'net/smtp'
if ARGV.empty? then
puts usage: check_url.rb [-v] [-m emailaddr] url
exit 1
end
# specify options
opts = GetoptLong.new(
[ -v, GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ],
[ -m, GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT ]
)
smtp_host = smtp.example.com
from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
url =
message =
flag = 0
verbose = 0
# default this
to = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# process args
opts.each do |opt, arg|
case opt
when '-v'
verbose = 1
when '-m'
to = arg
end
end
# test again, did we clobber all the args ?
if ARGV.empty? then
puts usage: check_url.rb [-v] [-m emailaddr] url
exit 1
end
# get the url in question
url = ARGV[0]
subject=Web monitor alert re #{url}
# go and test the site
begin
page = open(url).read
if page =~ /Error|Exception/
message = #{url} has returned either Error or Exception
flag = 1
end
rescue
message = #{url} Unavailable\n - #{$!.message}
flag = 2
end
case flag
when 0
if verbose
mail = MAIL
Subject: #{subject}
#{url} is feeling OK right now.
Diagnosis: Site up

Net::SMTP.start(smtp_host) do |smtp|

end
--8
end of ruby script
and the cron lines (modify to suit your timing)

Any help would be appreciated.
You need to background it so your script keeps running:
#! /bin/sh
# Launch program
lynx
# Store its processid for later
pid=$!
# 60 seconds
sleep 60
# Kill backgrounded process
kill -9 $pid
This is probably not what Beecher wants, he/she probably needs the
lynx in the foreground.
In a pure shell script that is difficult because you cannot get the
pid of a foreground process without reverting to `ps` which is not
sportish.
It's better to use a dedicated timeoput mechanism, e.g.:
http://cracauer-forum.cons.org/forum/cratimeout.html
Then you can do `cratimeout 6 lynx`
Martin
Thanks to you both, I missed the background option. Actually
it just needs to
run in the background to log some hits on a free webserver
that I use for
testing. I forget and they will cancel my account if there's
no traffic for a
month. The timeout also looks interesting and I'll look into it.

I'm in the process of building a new MySQL 5 server with FreeBSD 5.4 and was wanting to know if using the Linux threads was still faster. It probably is because mysql is optimized for the Linux threading implementation. Also keep in mind that freebsd filesystems are mounted async by default, not sync by default like Linux, as a result FreeBSD always does worse in these stupid bakeoffs you read about in the trade rags. Somebody else has pointed out that this was stated the wrong way round. But what we've seen so far is probably not related to the way the file systems are mounted. You can install the linux threading package under FreeBSD's linux emulation and try it that way. I don't think this is a useful option. Linuxthreads might be, though. Keep in mind also that you are talking minute performance differences on the newest multi-gigahertz systems. It would be nice if this were true. We've seen claims of performance differences in the order of 3:1. Furthermore I will point out that unless your database is smaller than physical memory of the server, then the argument between mysql threading and non-threading is a completely moot issue since the hits to the disk will be the bottleneck. Many database systems are CPU-bound. MySQL has identified that there are some serious issues with FreeBSD at the moment. As somebody with a foot in both camps, I'm keeping an open mind about where the problem is, but certainly the threading libraries are an issue. I wish I could make a specific recommendation.

Re: MySQL forgot some of my data!
daniel wrote: Our company has a few very large databases (9gb) which required a shut down, upgrade and restart last night, it this act has caused me all manour of headache: 1. I did a full backup of all the data (Good Idea) 2. I ran mysqladmin -uroot -p shutdown 3. I waited... and waited... and waited Twenty minutes passed and the server continued to say that it was indeed shutting down. The only problem was that it wasn't shutting down. The server's load was 0.00 and i could access mysql via the command-line client. Ctrl-C'ing the shutdown and restarting it didn't seem to help either. What's worse, logging in with the client had me freaking out when I couldn't find some of my data: mysql SELECT * FROM campaigns LIMIT 0; ERROR 1017 at line 1: Can't find file: 'campaigns.MYI' (errno: 2) After some investigation, we realised that a cron on another machine was running every minute, talking to this database, and assuming that this was the issue, we turned that stuff off too only to find that mysqladmin *STILL* wouldn't actually shut anything down. So I decided to try a few other things: # kill -s SIGTERM `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` nothing # kill `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` still nothing # kill -9 `cat /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid` That did it. Bringing the database back up though confirmed it, we'd lost a few whole tables and possibly some additional data as well. No data corruption though, just loss. A full restore from our now roughly 24hours old backup would be required. So my questions to you, deal list are: 1. Should mysqladmin shutdown take this long? a. Is this normal even with a load of 0.00? 2. Is this the best way to shut down a database of this size? 3. What is most likely to be the cause of the data loss? Thanks for any insight here. I hope this is a lesson to you all: Backups are Groovy ;-) I have had this problem as well on a 30gig db, I dont remember exactly what it was but I had a hunch it was something to do with maybe my hostname change, I think I changed it from 'database' to 'database.domain.com' via the 'hostname' command then edited the /etc/rc.conf file I think this stuffed up the running database pid file because it was looking for /var/db/mysql/hostname.pid instead of /var/db/mysql/hostname.domain.com.pid, but trying to bring it down manually didn't seem to work either. It could be been something else all together, but I do believe it was config changes around the system that caused it, I do believe an instant clean shutdown of MySQL is possible (I can't test for you on mine, sorry) but it might require you to really restart you setup clean.

Re: HP 4M plus network printer question

Everthing's printing fine now. But I do have another question. I'm using DHCP on the server to assign IP addresses to the hp printer, the LAN FBSD and hopefully another LAN FBSD for my kids. How do you put the IP addresses in /etc/hosts if they are assigned dynamically without having to edit /etc/hosts evertime the lease assignment changes? This problem has come up previously when I try to ping between machines using hostnames rather than the assigned IP addresses without telling the /etc/hosts files the actual IP addresses and what names they resolve to. Is there some way DHCP can be configured to pass on the FQDN to the LAN machines and in return receive the FQDN from these machines and use these names in conf files etc. even if the IP addresses change from session to session? Or am I going to have to use static IP address assignment?

You can configure your DHCP server to assign a particular IP address
for a MAC address. If you're using the isc-dhcp server, this can be
done the following entry in /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf:
host hpprinter
{
hardware ethernet 00:12:23:56:78:9a;
fixed-address 10.0.0.1;
}
You'll have put in the correct MAC and IP address.

If you really wish to overwrite the old port of databases/db43 without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/db43. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. --- Yes, I have db43 allready installed but isn't it suppose to pass it if it finds package allready installed? Hello Sasa, You have two options around this, I think; portupgrade -m FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 or add FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes to /etc/make.conf HTH -Wash I have put in make.conf to force pkg register and now when I make install I get an error: - === Registering installation for db43-4.3.29 === Returning to build of ruby18-bdb43-0.5.3 Error: shared library db43 does not exist *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. -- It looks like it can't find db43 on my system. Anything else I could try? I wonder what command you are running ;) -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ Avoid reality at all costs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
