But I cannot get it to work. Kopeke (KDE) i.e. does not see the device. I have two questions: (a) do I need to load some kind of *.ko file (like for the soundcards) to use a webcam under freebsd-6R?

Re: Issues with hard disks and spindown

After checking the temperature of the drives with my hand, it appears that everything is running quite smoothly, so there must be something else software-wise that's causing my system to near constantly poll the drives. For the sake of power and for the sake of my hard drives I have enabled apmd, which should be handling power management, but in fact isn't really doing the right thing I think. My computer is a desktop, so I realize that apm is used primarily for laptops.

Promise FastTraks SX4000 driver
Hi I'm trying to install a FreeBSD 6.0 on a Promise FastTrack SX4000, and the controller is configured to raid5 but during the installation the 4 individual disks show up instead of one. So i did a bit of googling and found that the card should be working in 4.8 but it dosn't seem to work. But on the official FreeBSD hardware compatibility list, it isn't mentioned at all.

Hi, This is an excerpt from 'man dhclient.conf': The DHCP client may decide after some period of time (see PROTOCOL TIMING) that it is not going to succeed in contacting a server. At that time, it consults its own database of old leases and tests each one that has not yet timed out by pinging the listed router for that lease to see if that lease could work. It is possible to define one or more fixed leases in the client configuration file for networks where there is no DHCP or BOOTP service, so that the client can still automatically config- ure its address... I excluded other fixed lease declarations from my conf for clarity.

Problems with X11 Forwarding
I thought this might be the best place to post the question. I am running FreeBSD5.4-RELEASE.

What do I use for DRI / DRM in X?
I'm a bit confused as to what's needed to get DRI / DRM working in Xorg. AFAIK we have 3 ways to do it; We have the DRM device in the kernel, dri-6.2.1,2 (For XFree86?) in the ports system, and Xorg seems to have it's own version too. What do I need and what don't I need for DRI / DRM in Xorg? The reason I ask is because I'm having problems getting DRI working on a triple-head system with 3 Radeon cards: drm0: ATI Radeon QL R200 8500 LE port 0xb000-0xb0ff mem 0xc800-0xcfff,0xfe8f-0xfe8f irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 info: [drm] AGP at 0xf800 64MB info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 0 drm1: ATI Radeon QY RV100 7000/VE port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xe800-0xefff,0xfeaf-0xfeaf irq 21 at device 9.0 on pci2 info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 1 drm2: ATI Radeon QY RV100 7000/VE port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xe000-0xe7ff,0xfea9-0xfea9 irq 23 at device 11.0 on pci2 info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.16.0 20050311 on minor 2 When the dri module in xorg.conf is enable the system locks-up and I have to do a hard reboot.

Partitioning
Hi! I'm quite new to FreeBSD and I have some concerns about partitioning. I plan to install FreeBSD-6 as a desktop system and I bought a new Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JB hard drive to use it as a second disk for storing music, movies, photos and stuff like that on it. I also want to put the swap partition on it as this drive will be idle most of the time. So basically I want to create 2 partitions on this drive: one 2GB partition for swap and one big UFS partition for data. Fdisk reported that it couldn't clearly identify the disk architecture because it thinks that the architecture is different from what BIOS tells. Here is fdisk's output after having created a slice: *** Working on device /dev/ad1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 156296322 (76316 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 512/ head 253/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED After creating a slice I created the partitions inside it with disklabel. In every example I saw the swap partition was in the second place. However, I want it to be in the beginning of the disk as this should result in better performance. Are there any concerns about this layout? I basically used the standards mentioned by the manual pages of disklabel: 8 partitions: # size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2g * swap b: * * 4.2BSD 4096 16384 64 c: * * unused Here is an output of what the layout now actually looks like: # /dev/ad1s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 41943040 swap b: 152102018 4194304 4.2BSD 4096 16384 20732 c: 156296322 0 unused 0 0 The number of cylinders in a cylinder group bps/cpg was automatically changed to 20732 which is quite different from 64. Why is that so? I haven't had any problems with the disk until now but I don't want to expose my data to danger by using a broken disk layout.

I tried that as well, but I get the same problems. I set DISPLAY on my Cygwin to localhost:0.0 which does indeed allow me to start XTerm. I do an ssh -X (and I tried -Y as well) but DISPLAY is still not set on the FreeBSD end. I have now tried manually setting DISPLAY to (localhost:0.0, localhost:10.0, ip:0.0, ip:10.0) on the FreeBSD end and still nothing is working. If I use ip:0.0 I get some router traffic, but nothing actually happens and then it just stops trying saying it could not open the display. My XServer is indeed running (XWin -ac -multiwindow) as I can connect via a local CoLinux install just fine. -- Aaron Dalton | Super Duper Games [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://superdupergames.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks so much JK Hi JK, You have probably got sshd enabled twice, once in rc.conf and once in inetd. What is happening is that the 2nd copy of sshd enabled in inetd is trying to bind to the adresses already in use by the 1st copy enabled in /etc/rc.conf. One of the things is that BSD tends to use is the rc.d route to start apps whereas linux tends to use the inetd route. Note there is no run levels as such in bsd. Once you get used to it it quite simple to pop a script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d and call it from /etc/rc.conf with a something_enable=YES Rob Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a pretty fast internet connection (cable modem). One thing I like about it is the session doesn't end when you disconnect. You can start a long running process like cvsup, disconnect, and come back later to check on it. Unlike when you vnc to a Windows box, you don't get the X session that's on the local workstation, you get a new one. If you need to connect to the primary X session, like for remote support, there's a version of VNC in the ports for that too (xvnc?). -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been told VNC is a good way to go as well, but some have mentioned some performance issues. What have you found? It works liveably well? It works great for me. I have a pretty fast internet connection (cable modem). One thing I like about it is the session doesn't end when you disconnect. You can start a long running process like cvsup, disconnect, and come back later to check on it. Unlike when you vnc to a Windows box, you don't get the X session that's on the local workstation, you get a new one. If you need to connect to the primary X session, like for remote support, there's a version of VNC in the ports for that too (xvnc?). For the record, I finally got standard X11 forwarding working once I installed tightvnc. I presume it was because I didn't have an X11 client installed. Now to get VNC working! I can see which I prefer.

Re: Lost Root Pasword.
I would have prefer to let someone more experienced speak, but since there is not much answers To reset your root password I think there are two solutions: 1) Boot in safe-mode, I think it will not ask password, and you can juste use the passwd to reset the password. 2) Boot with another FreeBSD install (live CD or so). Mount the partitions you have installed FreeBSD on. chroot then passwd should work. I know it is confuse but I only did that with Mac OS X. Warning: Remember that encrypted partition can only be decrypted using the password. Good luck, Laurent.

When I went investigate there was a somewhat nasty message saying: server /kernel: arp 00:11:43:4a:8d:18 is using my IP address 192.168.0.102 This message is suspicious! This is a message that appears after a succesful ARP poisoning attack which can then lead to a MITM (Man in the middle -- type this in google for more info) attack. If this is the case then all your unencrypted data to/from this host was available to the attacker in a human legible format (plain text). Information leakage is cover by Data Protection Laws (depending in the country your pc is). If the man in the middle attack was succesful..then all your unencrypted passwords, e-mails, chats, searched strings in google, were available to such an attacker. If this is the case then there is no need for installed software of any kind, in your computer. There are more chances that is someone from inside. First ask your self if it is possible for people to connect laptops or other machines without your permission, to your LAN? Maybe this is why you don't know this MAC address. Also if you announce this event to everyone using your Network(is it a LAN we are talking about, behind the server?) you decrease the chances to catch the leaker. I have tried such tools before but in my --LAN-- only, not against hosts in the internet. So i don't really know if this can occur and with what tools, but i find it very possible.. Also In order not to panic, have in mind that data to/from your bank's account [online], for example, are/must be (almost for sure) encrypted with TLSv1/SSLv3 128bit encryption which is probably safe (hopefully) at the moment. Of course some older encryption techniques can be decrypted with the right tools. I am not expert in cryptography and decryption, but please check: http://ettercap.sourceforge.net to see what i mean.

It appears to be a conflict as one process is trying to bind to an address that is being used by another process However, I don't know if that is what 'bind' is in this context. If it doesn't mean DNS BIND then that eliminates that possibility. Please excuse my newbe question but I hope it doesn't mean that someone's script has snuck onto my machine from the network and beyond. These messages are appearing when the proxy/router machine is not even turned on. I would chase this down myself and not use the list but I don't know enough of where to look. The only clue I have is that sshd starts on boot and is also enabled in inetd.conf. Could this be the conflict?

Re: Lost Root Pasword.
Booting to safe mode still ask's for the password if the console is set to insecure just thought i would point that out I would have prefer to let someone more experienced speak, but since there is not much answers To reset your root password I think there are two solutions: 1) Boot in safe-mode, I think it will not ask password, and you can juste use the passwd to reset the password. 2) Boot with another FreeBSD install (live CD or so). Mount the partitions you have installed FreeBSD on. chroot then passwd should work. I know it is confuse but I only did that with Mac OS X. Warning: Remember that encrypted partition can only be decrypted using the password. Good luck, Laurent.

As far as I can tell from all my Googling, this should actually be quite simple: - openssh is setup on FreeBSD with X11Forwarding=yes - I start the cygwin X-server (XWin -ac -multiwindow) - Putty is configured to forward X11 sessions - I connect via Putty - running '$ fte' from the FreeBSD command line should supposedly open everything up now on my Windows box, but it does not. From what I understand, when I connect now via Putty the env variable DISPLAY should be set. But it is not (which is the error fte gives me when I try to run it). If I try to manually set the DISPLAY variable (I tried localhost:0, localhost:0.0, ip:0, ip:0.0) it still doesn't work. editors/fte is fully installed (with X11libs and all that) but I wonder if there is more I need installed on the FreeBSD end to make things work. If you have cygwin installed why use putty? Just fire up xterm and use ssh -X.

(Sorry, that's the consultant in me coming out) It does seem like you want whatever you use to do it in the same way that it's currently being done, so why change? In particular, your (2) above is an area of little consensus; about the only thing most people agree on is that spammers should have *some* body part removed, but we can't even agree which one, much less exactly how to handle their um, product. Some argue that spam should not be processed by your MTA at all; this has resulted in blacklisting and greylisting. Others figure that an automatic trashing of the spam after receipt is OK. First, decide which you are/want to be. Sendmail has, IIRC, a built in way to check RealTime blackhole DNS lists. Any farther than that, you get into Milter (Mail fILTER) or SpamAssassin (as mentioned previously) or Amavis +SpamAssassin, or ..., or ... (there are several ways to skin the cat). Quite possibly, the best question for you ATM is: are you protecting just yourself from spam, or are others going to be affected by what you do to your SendMail? Then, do some research and reading on the problem. I've tried SendMail+Amavis+SpamAssassin with some success. One big issue for me: time to administer the server, in particular the learning curve phase. I've also done some other tricks, like listing IP blocks against sendmail in /etc/hosts.allow; but this has gotten me into trouble as, occasionally, international correspondents (like here on the lists) ended up blocked by my MTA.

Re: canned distribution's i86 disk space requirements?
On 1/13/06, Kael Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all: I am curious as to the disk space requirements of the various canned distribution sets on i86 hardware. While the following excerpt from the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html) was accurate back in the day (I've been using FreeBSD since 2.2.X), it doesn't seem to have much relationship to the Minimal canned distributions in 6.0-Release. It certainly seems that X has grown larger than the 100 MB suggested. A minimal installation of FreeBSD takes as little as 100 MB of disk space. However, that is a very minimal install, leaving almost no space for your own files. A more realistic minimum is 250 MB without a graphical environment, and 350 MB or more if you want a graphical user interface. If you intend to install a lot of third party software as well, then you will need more space. Does anyone know how much space Minimal, User and X-User take to install? This would be excellent information to have available for the user and sysinstall itself. What would be almost too much to hope for, would be some error checking where the diskspace requirements of the selected packages are compared to the requested partitioning scheme before the commit. It was a dream I had once... The current failure mode is inelegant. [this is not a flame about sysinstall... i find it easy to use, most of the time, and it has improved over the years.] If someone knows the answer, let's get it into the handbook. Or perhaps someone has hooks for sysinstall/dist.h and dist.c that can pull out the tar file names (e.g. base.am,...) for various sets? I imagine that a basic understanding of the install process would be all that is really needed to figure out what files are used for what sets. The attached report I made should answer all of your questions. -- Please sign the native Flash player for FreeBSD petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/petition.html freebsd6-space-requirements Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Mail filtering at server
Hi I'd agree with the learning curve for SA. it's not huge, but there is one. as for time spend on admin, for me a few minutes per day making sure there's no new handy handy rules to add by lurking on the sa-users list. I use RulesDuJour to get most of my non-included rules to update automatically, and I use MailScanner to glue the MTA, SA and virus scanners together. Very little work. But yes for a single user T'birds default spam trap may work quite well and do the job quickly. -- Martin On 1/16/06, Kevin Kinsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Frank Staals wrote: Hey, I'm running FreeBSD 5-stable and I'm using the system as mailserver, so I set up sendmail using this guide: http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html as imap server I'm using imap-uw.

Re: Partitioning
On Mon, 16 Jan 2006 04:03 am, Jona Joachim wrote: Hi! I'm quite new to FreeBSD and I have some concerns about partitioning. I plan to install FreeBSD-6 as a desktop system and I bought a new Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JB hard drive to use it as a second disk for storing music, movies, photos and stuff like that on it. I also want to put the swap partition on it as this drive will be idle most of the time. So basically I want to create 2 partitions on this drive: one 2GB partition for swap and one big UFS partition for data. Fdisk reported that it couldn't clearly identify the disk architecture because it thinks that the architecture is different from what BIOS tells. Here is fdisk's output after having created a slice: With large modern disks the architectures quoted are mostly ficticious bearing little are no relationship to the physical structure of the disk. With LBA addressing the precise ficticious architecture used is mostly of little significance. *** Working on device /dev/ad1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=155061 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 156296322 (76316 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 512/ head 253/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED After creating a slice I created the partitions inside it with disklabel. In every example I saw the swap partition was in the second place. However, I want it to be in the beginning of the disk as this should result in better performance. Are there any concerns about this layout? I basically used the standards mentioned by the manual pages of disklabel: 8 partitions: # size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2g * swap b: * * 4.2BSD 4096 16384 64 c: * * unused Partition 'a' for root and 'b' for swap is a strongly established convention and departure could lead to all sorts of hassles. If you must have swap earlier than the root partition then retain the labels but change the positions -- that is set the offset of 'a' so that it falls after 'b' and set the 'b' partition at or near the beginning of the slice. To me it it is not entirely clear whether reservations for things like disklabels are not automatically taken care of when 'a' is the first partition in the slice, so I suggest if you place the 'b' partition first you do this with an offset of 16 sectors. But make it a rule to retain the traditional relationship between partition names and usage; just move the partition allocation. Malcolm Kay Here is an output of what the layout now actually looks like: # /dev/ad1s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 41943040 swap b: 152102018 4194304 4.2BSD 4096 16384 20732 c: 156296322 0 unused 0 0 The number of cylinders in a cylinder group bps/cpg was automatically changed to 20732 which is quite different from 64. Why is that so? I haven't had any problems with the disk until now but I don't want to expose my data to danger by using a broken disk layout.
