pam_mysql problem
Hi, I have an issue when using pam_mysql. I'm using it with ssh and it is unable to find the library after a reboot. After my machine reboots, I have to manually restart sshd in order for it to find the library. This leads me to believe it's related to when ldconfig is run, but I'm pretty stumped and can't figure out exactly what needs to be done to fix it. I initially had an entry for the library in my pam config as pam_mysql.so which didn't work, so I tried copying it to /usr/lib. That didn't work, so I tried using the full path to pam_mysql.so. This still isn't working. Here is part of my pam config and a syslog entry: /etc/pam.d/sshd: authsufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_mysql.so config_file=/usr/local/etc/pam-unix.conf Dec 16 06:29:07 tinker sshd[1008]: in openpam_load_module(): no /usr/local/lib/pam_mysql.so found So does anyone have some suggestions as to why this is happening?

PAM and OPIE and su
Hey all, this is sort of a wierd question, but bear with me. I notice that pam_securetty has a function that allows people to have to be secure before it will let them do something (for example, use login as root). I've recently enabled telnetd on my system because of people trapped behind library terminals at school, or behind retarded proxies on computer labs where ssh apps are not installed. The issue, of course, is that there's still technically the possibility of someone using su(1) as a wheel user, over a session which is now insecure. What I'd like to be able to do is be able to know which sessions are ssh'd, and which sessions are telnet'd, and either require OTP for the ones which HAVE been used for telnet -- or allow normal passwords for the SSHable ones. This would probably require modifications to either telnetd or sshd, as most of the playing I've done with PS to make a proof-of-concept shows both daemons as listing their terminals as ??, as opposed to showing the terminalid's being used. If nothing else, a PAM module that can tell what method a user is in via would be useful. Any ideas? -Dan -- She's NOT my girlfriend! -Dan Mahoney, Quite a bit recently.

Order of rc file execution
Hello, I use a GBDE-encrypted /var partition which i attach and mount during boot in rc.local. Now this has worked flawlessly until my last portmanager -u run, after which the following happens during the boot sequence: - /etc/rc.d/ldconfig writes /var/run/ld.so.hints and /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints - /etc/rc.d/local attaches and mounts my encrypted /var partition - every subsequent program fails to start up because it cannot find any dynamic library it needs due to the hidden /var/run/ld*.so.hints As an ugly workaround i copied the ld*.so.hints to the encrypted /var/run, but obviously it is better to run /etc/rc.d/local before /etc/rc.d/ldconfig. I understand I can achieve this by changing the line # BEFORE: LOGIN in local to # BEFORE: ldconfig and change the REQUIRE line too to avoid a circular dependency. I'd just like to ask the list whether there is a way which does not require changing system-supplied scripts.

If I am not wrong, ssh do not use the same library as telnet to authentify on the password.

How can I configure the swap area ?
If you haven't completed the install, make the swap during the
install when you configure the disks. If you've already finished the
install, the Handbook has a section[0] describing methods for adding
swap.
Is It recommended to configure swap area in both HDs ??
I don't see the point -- swap is where pages that don't fit in your
real memory go. It's less optimal than real memory in terms of
latency, but I don't see how two disks would make swap performance
much better.
How large ??
I'd suggest 1-4G of swap depending on whether you need to read full
dumps of the kernel/memory for debugging. If you don't, you'll
probably be fine with a lesser amount of swap, unless you'll be
running applications which will overload the memory.

SA-LEARN Keeps crashing at DBM.pm Line 624
Posted this on the MailScanner Forum. I was told to post this also on the FreeBSD Questions Forum or SpamAssassin Forum. Hope this is the right forum Brief History on OS I'm using. FreeBSD 5.4 Perl 5.8.6 Installed MailScanner 4.44.6 and everything else using Install-Clam-SA.tar.gz from http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/downloads.shtml MailScanner, SpamAssassin and Sendmail all working fine. The only problem I am having is with SA-LEARN. Problem: Since my installation of MailScanner I have always been able to use sa-learn --spam --force-expire --mbox /var/mail/spammail with no issues. Over the last couple of days, when I try to run sa-learn against my spam mailbox, I receive the following error: sa-learn --spam --force-expire --mbox /var/mail/spammail bayes: expire_old_tokens: Out of memory during ridiculously large request at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm line 624. I have tried everything to resolve this issue. As my last resort, I installed Portmanager on FreeBSD to manage my ports tree. When I ran Portmanager, it upgraded Perl to 5.8.7. After the upgrade, I had to run the perl-after-upgrade utility to ensure all of my apps see the new version of Perl. This is the commands I used: perl-after-upgrade perl-after-upgrade -f Even after the upgrade and I verified that MailScanner, SA and sendmail were working, I ran sa-learn --spam --force-expire --mbox /var/mail/spammail again. I still received the same error. I also have tried to separate the commands as follows: sa-learn --force-expire sa-learn --spam --mbox /var/mail/spammail It crashes with the same error after I execute the --force-expire command. Here are my stats for sa-learn --dump magic 0.000 0 3 0 non-token data: bayes db version 0.000 0 3016 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 11613 0 non-token data: nham 0.000 0 309357 0 non-token data: ntokens 0.000 0 1133683248 0 non-token data: oldest atime 0.000 0 1134569167 0 non-token data: newest atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last journal sync atime 0.000 0 1134029107 0 non-token data: last expiry atime 0.000 0 345600 0 non-token data: last expire atime delta 0.000 0 90997 0 non-token data: last expire reduction count Right now, I'm using Portmanager -u -l upgrade all ports again and to verify all ports are installed correctly.

certainly a typo. I changed it to ${gbde_devices_auto}.
Additionally, one has to set
gbde_lock_[device]=/path/to/lockfileor
gbde_lockdir=/path/to/lockdir [where the lockfile(s) must
have the encrypted slice's name and a '.lock' extension

Having done this, i have a solution for mounting encrypted partition at
boot, which seems perfectly clean to me. Wonderful.

Stability and performance from these cards are rock solid. They make use of the fxp driver, and a few versions back (quite a few actually) FreeBSD moved over from an fxp driver that ran 'standalone', to a newer fxp driver which now requires the mIIbus driver too - I don't know what ramifications if any this has had on performance - but as far as the hardware goes I still trust these cards explicitly. Not know the differences in the code well enough to tell you what/why and can't even remember when that changed actually... but I've been using these intel boards and the fxp driver on FreeBSD since 2.2.1-release without a single hitch, including used boards from ebay ;) lol - come to think of it, still have a couple little 486 running 2.2.x branch around here with these intel cards in them :) - for what it's worth, they're still running (uh, not anything critical mind you, the rest of the machine/software's fairly dated for that).

Newbie problems with svscan and arp
Hi, I am trying my hand at FreeBSD administration and would greatly appreciate assistance with some problems I am facing with setting up mail services and the network properly. My system has 2 network cards (rl0 and dc0). rl0 has been assigned a local IP (192.168.10.37/255.255.255.0) and dc0 has been assigned a real IP (202.54.195.85/255.255.255.240). The gateway is 202.54.195.81 and the name server 202.54.1.30. After booting my console starts getting the following message : 192.168.10.1 is on rl0 but got reply from dc0. What is the error I might be committing ? The local router is located at 192.168.10.55, but I don't know where to put this information. Despite the message, I am able to access the internet smoothly. Further, I am trying to set up qmail as the MTA. Qmail apparantly needs svscan from the daemontools port to be running. My rc.local calls /usr/local/bin/svscanboot at system startup, but when I do 'ps -waux | grep svscan', I get nothing. A few qmail processes are however running. How do I get svscan to start ? My rc.conf, inetd.conf, hosts and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh files are attached. Thanks for any help. Manish Jain __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Get a god-damned clue for pete's sake. All polling does is screw up accounting so the timings are wrong. At best there's a marginal difference in performance. You still have to process the packets. Lets see, this Test would mean that his box could handle 100 x 150Mb/s, or 15Gb/s. Thats quite a little router you have there! lol. I have to recognize that I didn't follow the thread very carefuly and I propbably missed some posts. I just wanted to say that when using freebsd as a pure router using intel cards, polling realy helps. I've noticed 10-20% CPU utilization decrease with polling enabled. Second, I didn't mean 150Megabytes/sec, rather Megabits/sec. Third the actual CPU load is ranging from 0-4% (according to top), but with an average of 1%. And finally I just did a test and enabled polling on that box. The CPU idle state immediately dropped to 88% while interrupts increased to 10-12%. P.S Danial, have a look at this http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/M/Mbps.html With all due respect, you haven't a clue. Do you know math? 99% idle implies 1% utilization. So 150 Mega Bits per second X 100 is 15gigaBITS per seconds is the capacity of your system, using match. Which is stupid. Anyone who thinks that is accurate is just plain stupid.

Also, noticed your code is flawed, you never used a namespace, nor explicitly
stated one. cout is part of the 'std' namespace, so either ' using namespace
std;' for global/local use of namespace, OR do 'std::cout ' instead. Try the
hello.cpp I sent you in the last email, that one should work for ya :)

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process # interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. However, it is you who are throwing around the numbers - or were in your prior post - regarding the fxp driver and hardware. Why should I have to do the work digging around in the datasheets and doing the math? Since you seem to be wanting to argue this from a theory standpoint, then your only option is to === message truncated === message too large for stupid Yahoo mailer Unfortunately your test is not controlled, which is pretty typical of most OS testers. Firstly, efficiency is the goal. How many packets you can pump through a socket interface is not an efficiency measurement. What was the load on the machine during your test? how many polls per second were being used? What was the interrupt rate for the non-polling test? You can't

Re: atheros wireless setup
On 2005-12-15 22:34, Jim Pazarena [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I can't believe how incredibly easy it was to get
the wireless going in my laptop.
add: if_ath_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf
and: ifconfig_ath0=dhcp to /etc/rc.conf
and it works !
please tell me where I can read up on how to control the wireless
link. Such as how to enter the SSID, and connect speed etc.
I started by reading this Handbook section:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
One thing that you may want to note, if you are not *ALWAYS* around a
known wireless network, is that making changes to /etc/rc.conf may cause
the startup process to print harmless, but annoying nevertheless,
warnings when ath0 is down. This is especially true if your wireless
NIC is not on-board, but a PC-CARD that you sometimes use (like mine).
In this case, you can 'override' the /etc/rc.conf settings by making a
small shell script like this (almost identical to the one I use to bring
up ath0 on my laptop):
1 | export ifconfig_ath0=inet DHCP ssid 'XX' \
2 | wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXX'
3 |
4 | /etc/rc.d/netif stop # Stop all other interfaces.
5 | /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0# Bring up ath0.
6 | if test $? -eq 0 ; then
7 | echo 2 ath0: ERROR: Could not bring up interface.
8 | exit 1
9 | fi
10 |
11 | echo -n Waiting for ath0 to associate
12 | _timeout=0
13 | _associated=NO
14 | while [ $_timeout -lt 30 ]; do
15 | status=$( ifconfig ath0 21 | grep status: |\
16 | awk '{print $2}' )
17 | if [ X${status} = Xassociated ]; then
18 | _associated=YES
19 | break
20 | fi
21 | echo -n '.'
22 | sleep 1
23 | _timeout=$(( $_timeout + 1 ))
24 | done
25 | if [ X${_associated} = XYES ]; then
26 | echo ok
27 | else
28 | echo ''
29 | echo 2 ath0: ERROR: Timed out while waiting to associate.
30 | /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
31 | exit 1
32 | fi
By setting ifconfig_ath0 in the script itself (see lines 1-2), you don't
have to modify `/etc/rc.conf'. The /etc/rc.d/netif script will be happy
by simply finding the appropriate stuff in its running environment :-)
I hope this helps,

Not really. But it's a very good idea to use something that doesn't
only differ in the case of the name from plain ANCI C, because
transferring the files from Unix to other operating systems
(i.e. Windows) may lose the case of the names some times :-)

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

No, you have to either tell the compiler by using std::METHOD or say
using namespace std; to annouce you are using std as your primary

Not really. But it's a very good idea to use something that doesn't
only differ in the case of the name from plain ANCI C, because
transferring the files from Unix to other operating systems
(i.e. Windows) may lose the case of the names some times :-)

That's a pretty old book. Judging from the sheer number of books these
authors have listed in Amazon, I think it's pretty safe to consider it
very out of date :(
This post may off topic of FreeBSD, sorry to other people...
That's ok. The list is, after all, for general FreeBSD questions :)
If you want a GOOD book to start self-teaching C++, grab yourself 'C++ in 21

Closing some open ports
Greetings, I've finished installing a FreeBSD RELENG_6_0 which carries DNS/Apache/DHCP/SAMBA/TFTP Chrooted Bind9 / chrooted DHCP and tftp port is listening on the int_if only thru inetd. Apache is only serving intranet site for docs. I know too many services on one machine, but it's not my call. My problem is with SAMBA and SNMP for mrtg graph I want them to bind to specific IPs instead of listening on *:portmy sockstat -4l shows: snip root snmpd 717 6 udp4 *:161 *:* root smbd 709 21 tcp4 *:445 *:* root smbd 709 22 tcp4 *:139 *:* root nmbd 705 6 udp4 *:137 *:* root nmbd 705 7 udp4 *:138 *:* root nmbd 705 8 udp4 10.99.99.254:137 *:* root nmbd 705 9 udp4 10.99.99.254:138 *:* root nmbd 705 10 udp4 10.98.98.254:137 *:* root nmbd 705 11 udp4 10.98.98.254:138 *:* snip My general practice is always to bind each and every service to a specific IP for containing it. unless it's needed such as DHCP. I looked on samba's website first on how to make samba run as non-root unfortuantely looks that is not possible as far as I'm aware of, which is insance. Although I have hosts allow and interfaces statement in smb.conflistening only on the internal LAN. I can still scan my network with nmap from another network and get this: PORTSTATE SERVICE 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds I can install samba inside a jail(8) but it will be still running as root and the ports will show up. Or I can put some rules in pf.conf to restrict access to whatever I want from outside. But maybe there is another way to do that, I'm all ears. All I want is to get rid of this: root smbd 709 21 tcp4 *:445 *:* root smbd 709 22 tcp4 *:139 *:* root nmbd 705 6 udp4 *:137 *:* root nmbd 705 7 udp4 *:138 *:* I can live with it running as root in my LAN, as long it doesn't show on the external interface when port scanning.

Re: swap - 2 HDs
This is contrary to the usual advice which is to split swap across disks AFAIK. I've never done any benchmarks, but my gut feeling would be that if the disks were on separate controllers, and if the machine did swap regularly then two swap partitions would be beneficial. Even on the same controller it it would be beneficial when at least two processes doing pagein/pageout. which is normal on loaded machine which needs swapping. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to dual boot
I'm trying to get a dual boot system set up with FBSD 5.3 and Win XP sp1. First I installed FBSD using 15GB of the HD, then installed XP on the remaining 5GB. However now it boots up XP automatically. I can get back to the FBSD installer by booting from the 5.3 CD but what do I do to provide a choice of which to boot right on the HD? You need to read the documentation better. It tells you that you should install Microsloth first and then FreeBSD. That is because MS doesn't play nicely and assumes it is the only thing in the world and overwrites your MBR without asking and their MBR will only boot MS (slightly different in recent MS, but essentially the same is true). But, FreeBSD is more sophisticated and also more friendly to the rest of the world and, first of all, asks if you want an MBR installed in the sector 0 and then if you go ahead and write FreeBSD's MBR, it will give you a choice of bootable slices to boot, including MS if present. The only odd thing is if the FreeBSD MBR detects a bootable slice with a filesystem type it does not know such as NTFS, it identifies it in the menu as '???' rather than with a name. It will still boot just fine.It does recognize FATxx filesystems, FreeBSD, of course and some others. But, it doesn't have room to store names for lots of others because it is a true MBR and only uses the one sector allocated rather than using some of the space that is typically (but not officially) not used in the first cylindar. Since you have already let MS wipe out the FreeBSD MBR, you can just put the install CD back in and tell it to write the FreeBSD MBR or even just reinstall FreeBSD from scratch, though that shouldn't actually be necessary. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
HP ScanJet 4100c?
Guys, is this my big opportunity or what! :-) A friend bought an HP ScanJet 4100c for $15. For unknoen reason, it does not work wsith W-XP, but might this work with FBSD? Otherwise, I'm looking for a scanner with OCR-ware. For either my W2K box or FBSD.

Re: how to dual boot
The only odd thing is if the FreeBSD MBR detects a bootable slice with a filesystem type it does not know such as NTFS, it identifies it in the menu as '???' rather than with a name. I'm triple-booting FreeBSD, NetBSD and that penguin thingy. NetBSD's fdisk(8) allows setting the menu labels to whatever string you want. (limited to ~8 chars due to limited space in the MBR) NetBSD's fdisk also automatically figures out how much space you have left as you add partitions (er, slices in FreeBSD-speak). On the other hand, if you want/need overlapping partitions/slices for some reason, FreeBSD's fdisk will do it and NetBSD's will not. (according to the man pages, I didn't try it) For even more user-programablilty, grub has some nice features. But doesn't fit in the MBR. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, you could try grub, but if you want a fact way of doing, it will cost. OS Selector from Acronis, or Boot Manager from PartitionMagic. OS Selector What you have to do is create a partition, about 100mb or 50mb and it must be FAT16/32, so if your windows partitions is fats, then you don't have to create the partition, but way it doesn't have to be first partition, just visible to OS Selector. Once you install it will read what OS'es you have install. It not a bad program because I have remove freebsd, for dragonfly and PC-BSD, and didn't have to anything just select the partition it was install on. Boot Manager is I remember install on the master boot record and has to be install from the windows partions. I don't like it because I have kill a computer or two with it. Grub has come a long way and there mail list and docs. But if you are newbie you might want to go the route of OS Selector. Just remember that when you install freebsd you not to select a boot manager. Now before I get flame, I have use the freebsd boot manager BUT only with freebsd.

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. Yes, going into livelock for a moment is better than dropping a bucket of packets. If your machine is in constant livelock, then its too slow and it doesn't matter whether you run polling or interrupts; you need a new machine. Duh, but that wasn't what I asked. You claim that dropping packets is terrible and routers shouldn't do it, and should go into momentary livelock to avoid it. I asked you what then about the scenario where one interface is slower than the other? How are you going to avoid dropping some packets then? You also can't grasp the point that clock ticks do more than just poll, you're forcing a LOT of other stuff to get done a lot more often than necessary. You also don't understand that polling occurs MILLIONS of times per second on machines that aren't loaded. The HZ setting is the minimum number of polls per second. Its a perfect example of using a setting without having any idea how it works just because some idiot falsely claimed it was better without really testing it. Well, your the idiot that's falsely claiming it's worse without really testing it so what's the difference? As I said before, your arguing theory. And the theory sometimes gets tripped up by what you think is a minor variable that shouldn't matter. You keep claiming the pro-polling people haven't tested, well you haven't tested either. It's just a big air-battle. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep

I finally do have the book I'm aiming to scan; I don;t know what happened to my friend with the microfiche of this text. Zero reply. Is there anybody in the Western WA locale who'd be willing to lend me scanner with OCR software or tell me what to buy that works with FBSD. For $15, it's worth asking about. Check out if sane supports it. I'm in a similar situation with a HP Scanjet 6200C. The driver on the HP isn't actually a driver so the scanner is useless in Windows. I booted into FreeBSD, kldload uscanner, and started xsane, it worked perfectly. I haven't tried the OCR part of xsane, but it should work. Whoa, the online sane docs say that 4100C is supported. The next obstacle is the USB jack. Even my 1999 test e-machine has a usb thing hidden somewhere in front. This box, tao, is a barebones box I built in 08/2001; so I'm sure it's got a usb port somewhere. Do I have to build it into the kernel or what? IOW, what's the deal with USB stuff? I've had enough headbanging with ye olden COM[1234] ports. But it's time to get my fingers wet. Depending on what version of FreeBSD you're running you might want to build usb into the kernel. If you just run kldload uscanner it should automatically load the usb kernel module, if it's not already in the default kernel, which I think it may be. The usb stuff should work fine as long as you don't have some funky chipset. 6.0-RELEASE should have pretty good support for usb. -- Anish Mistry pgpkZNNhPK30E.pgp Description: PGP signature

What I would like to do is grab a copy of the whole freeBSD ports tree while I can, so I can just play with different programs and things at will on a test server. Really just for my own amusement. Is it possible to get a copy of the whole ports tree down if I have enough free space etc etc, or just a copy of one branch like www??? The ports tree is not all that large..are you asking about fetching every port distfile? Kris Well, portupgrade -FRaN sounded promising, but upon further reflection, I suspect that would fetch only distfiles for those ports which are already installed, plus any new dependencies that are not yet installed. Perhaps we need a meta-port which includes _everything_ as a build dependency. Then you just fetch that. Well, if you really think you want this, then just: cd /usr/ports make fetch Kris pgpC54hRN1YzS.pgp Description: PGP signature
