Can't see second CPU on IBM eServer x346 (FBSD5.4 and 6.0 amd64)
Hi, I'm having a problem installing FreeBSD/amd64 SMP on a couple of IBM x346 servers. Both have dual XEON 3.0GHz EM64T processors but OS seems to only enable one of them. ACPI has to be disabled on both machines for them to boot, otherwise they will hang after probing the keyboard. I'm using the SMP kernel config unedited. Mptable on both machines show that there are 2 CPUs: -- Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model StepFlags 0 0x14BSP, usable 15 4 1 0x0301 6 0x14AP, usable 15 4 1 0x0301 -- Sysctl hw.ncpu returns 1 on both systems. The one on FreeBSD 5.4 has 6GB or memory and the one on FreeBSD 6.0 has 3GB of memory. I can run tests on the 3GB system and will probably try FreeBSD/i386 on it to see if it can see both CPUs. Has anyone successfully ran FreeBSD/amd64 SMP on these machines? Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide. Anto. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

But it is just wonderful for a Unix newbie like me. At the end of the installation, the GUI, the cable Internet connection, and even the sound system worked fine. Some configuration still needs to be done (printing and German keyboard). But now at least I have a system I can use right away to do some usefull work with, and to further explore. I will try to configure the printing myself before perhaps eventually asking some specific questions about it here. I found an interesting explanation about the configuration of the German keyboard, so if some other German speaking newbie asks about it: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eserte/FreeBSD/doc/umlaute/umlaute.html Giorgos Keramidas asked me: Can you explain *how* you configured your X11 desktop? Like explained in the handbook. First I created an xorg.conf.new configuration skeleton file with # Xorg -configure Then I tested this configuration with # Xorg -config xorg.conf.new The result was a Mode not supported message on the display screen until I found out the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to write in the Section Monitor which were supported, and which were much narrower than the hardware manufacturers specifications. That's probably a bug in the configuration file generated by Xorg and, quite possibly, a bug in the Handbook section. Most modern monitors and video adapters work without any HorizSync or VertRefresh line in `xorg.conf'. This forces the X11 servers to query the hardware for the supported refresh ranges, and I've found that it tends to be much easier to get things right this way :) The display adapter is an nVidia GeForce4 MX with integrated GPU (which uses 64 MB of the system's 512 MB physical working memory). The LCD monitor is a Proview 780. I'm using an ATI on the laptop used to type this message. The file /var/log/Xorg.0.log lists it as: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] The `xorg.conf' file has commented out entries for HorizSync and VertRefresh, but this doesn't keep things from working. Section Monitor Identifier Monitor0 # Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: #HorizSync31.5 - 79.0 #VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 EndSection You may find it easier to comment out these lines from xorg.conf, start X11 and then tune the best refresh ranges later, after you get things working fine :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. The correct way to fix this is to set CVSUMASK in your shell environment, and then import the files :) Giorgos, Thanks very much for replying! I wasn't aware of this environment variable (even though I spent quite a while on this problem). Using CVSUMASK certainly works when working on the server machine! However, I'm not sure what to do in client/server situations. The CVS manual states: Note that using the client/server CVS (see section Remote repositories), there is no good way to set CVSUMASK; the setting on the client machine has no effect. We are currently using a pserver installation, with developers using windows machines. We need a way to achieve the same effect with a user on a windows machine doing an import. Do you have any idea how this can be done? Thank you! I'm not sure. I know that the setting of CVSUMASK on the server machine works if you use SSH tunneling though. If it's not too much trouble, you can set up SSH-based authentication instead of :pserver: and make sure the .bashrc or .cshrc of the developers on the server machine sets CVSUMASK correctly. SSH-tunneled CVS is what the FreeBSD project uses in the official CVS repository, so I guess this setup works as expected :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How many IP address aliases can practically be used on one physical Ethernet interface?
Hi, I am implementing and using a test bed simulating a huge amount of IP clients, each preferable having a unique IP address. There is no, no way to have an individual physical interface for each simulated client so I use IP aliases. Currently it runs on Linux and there is a limit of 256 IP addresses per interface, among other things due to a hard array limit in Linux net-tools ifconfig. There also seems to be other limitations like linear searches in net-tools as well as in kernel networking code. Just changing the array limit changed the problem to being one of stability and performance. So I became quite optimistic reading about Virtual Hosts and IP aliases in the FreeBSD handbook chapter 11.9: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-vi rtual-hosts.html A given network interface has one real address, and may have any number of alias addresses. So is this really true and where is the catch? Will a FreeBSD 6.0 accept for example 8190 IP address aliases each on say five physical Ethernet interfaces? Will IP addresses be manageable to add, list and delete? And how much will networking performance degrade compared to using just a few aliases? I can add that there is no forwarding or routing through a simulator box except IP traffic to and from the client simulation running inside. I am maybe willing to change to BSD if there is a chance of success, most Guru UNIX sysadmins running real production say mostly good things about the BSDs. I just need some encouragement... ;-) Best Regards Flyer ___ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

RELENG_6 on HP ProLiant ML 350 G4p
Hi all, I'm planning on getting a HP ProLiant ML350 G4p server (p for the iLO). Apparently this machine has a Smart Array 641 controller for the SCSI HDDs. I'd like to set up a RAID1 volume for the OS and a RAID 5 volume for the data. I assume the RAID volumes can be set up via the RAID controller interface during the POST, I think it's called RBSU or something like that. I want to slice the RAID 1 volume for the OS with /, swap, /var, /tmp, /home and the RAID 5 volume with a /data slice. No gvinum or soft-RAID. I want to keep it as KISS as possible. Does FreeBSD recognize the two volumes as two disks and behave accordingly? Has anyone on this list successfully deployed a system in such a way? Or do you have any suggestion to improve on this idea of setup?

Problems with SSL after upgrade from 4.7 to 4-Stable
Greetings Everyone, Have a problem that has been nagging me for about two weeks, recently I had to upgrade one of my mail servers from 4.7 to 4-STABLE. All associated ports on the box were all upgraded also, before the change and also after, all were recompiled to make sure that they would not have any problems. Well, ended up with one problem where openssl from ports keeps core dumping on anything that depends on it. But I can do /usr/local/bin/openssl and it seems to run fine. And so does the base openssl also. Right now it's been perplexing me, I can't even load webmin with SSL support with perl dumping core. Or if I compile apache with ssl or even if i do and just force it to run without it work fine, but as soon as I start it with ssl it core dumps also. I have been going though all the librarys in the base system and have many time removed and reinstalled the ports openssl, after with I rebuilt all associated ports and the problem still persists. I have lots of .core files i have even tried to do back traces on and it doesn't seem to make any sense. Of all the years I have been using FreeBSD this is the first time that I have had a problem like this with openssl core dumping all the time. And help or suggestions would be aprechiated.

I have heard of people using hundreds of aliases OK, even though I am dubious about the merits of doing so. I don't know whether FreeBSD can deal with ~41000 configured IP addresses on a system at all, but I doubt that a normal person would consider such a setup manageable. Consider using IPFW divert sockets instead. You should also look into dummynet. I can add that there is no forwarding or routing through a simulator box except IP traffic to and from the client simulation running inside. What about ARP traffic? In most cases, machines with hundreds or thousands of clients are dealing with them remotely, not locally, so all of the traffic just goes between the host and it's upstream Internet-facing router, involving minimal layer-2 resolution. Your setup with tens of thousands of local IPs is going to involve massive ARP traffic which does not happen with most internet server scenarios. You're likely to encounter other issues: most network switches have a limited capacity for their ARP tables, and are restricted to 1024 or perhaps 4096 entries. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Standard way of updating 6.x ?
Is there a suggested method for updating a newly installed FreeBSD 6.0system? I have found several websites with similar but differing methods, often somehow specific to the author's configuration. What I usually do first is install from a CD and get a bare-bones system bootable. What I would like to do after that is update the kernel, system programs, user programs, and packages. I usually end up using cvsup, portsnap, and portupgrade with varying levels of success. What I would really like is a fool-proof method that works everytime, if there is such a thing. For example, rebuilding things at the lowest layer first, and working my way up. I was following a websites tutorial yesterday, and was confronted with a stale imagemagic dependency, where I chose to force an override. I didn't know if I was doing some wrong or not, and it seemed to work, but I would rather not have to force anything, if possible. Previously I had posted the steps I was using, and several people made annotations which I was able to integrate, but I was mostly curious if there wasn't some standard way. I am trying to use portsnap, since it seems much faster than cvsup, but the handbook doesn't seem to have portsnap integrated in to the rebuild steps yet (it is in the appendix I think). There seems to be updates steps for 4.x and 5.x, but not yet 6.x, or maybe I just have found them yet. There seems to be a lot of ways to update your system right now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
converting pdfs with xpdf

Re: Dell SCSI problem (reasonly long with some debugging)
A quick follow up to my earlier post... I tried using FreeBSD 6.0 stable Snap 10, but the problem still exists. I tried installing Solaris 10 (01/06) and the card is not detected by Solaris at all. I tried with RHEL 4 and Win 2003 and the machine works fine. Back on FreeBSD 6.0 release, I lowered the tags using camcontrol: camcontrol tags da0 -N 64. The problem then seems to go away. At least I can't provoke it into occurring. Previously if I built a kernel, or untarred the ports tarball the machine would freeze. Naturally calling Dell support was a pointless exercise. They had never even heard of Free biscuit. Does anyone have any feedback on what the problem may be, and ideally a fix? Is it safe to run a machine in production with my lowered tags? Also, is there a way to set the tags during the boot process? At the moment I have a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which does this but it doesn't seem ideal. I'm guessing this has happened because it's a OEM version of the Adaptec card and has presumably been modified in some way.

freebsd 5.4 gnome 2.12 build problems.
Hello, (how this is the right list) while updating firefox i noticed that gnome has been updated to v2.12 i read UPDATING, and discovered there was a convenient script for updating gnome! After doing this, the Filemanager failed to start, I had no desktop icons, and i was unable to save background or theme data. Applications run fine, however, i'd like my icons and Filemanager back. I tried doing a portupgrade -Uuf nautilus2 which failed at librsvg2 entering the ports tree and trying to install librsvg2 (i did a clean and distclean) each time librsvg2 fails with an error i can't understand. (tail of make follows) I looked in the Makefile for a reference to -fPIC and there is nothing. I'm not sure what this is, or how to coax librsvg2 to make. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In an earlier attempt to build i removed gamin in favor of fam and updated the pkgdb to reflect this. So far i've updated my kernel and world to latest RELENG 5.4 p10 deinstalled my entire ports tree and reinstalled all the applications i normally use. I'm using amd64. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include/libgsf-1 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_SVGZ=1 -I/usr/local/include/libcroco-0.6 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_LIBCROCO=1 -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libart-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/usr/local/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\librsvg\ -DLIBRSVG_DATADIR=\/usr/X11R6/share/gnome\ -I/usr/local/include -O -pipe -MT librsvg-enum-types.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/librsvg-enum-types.Tpo -c librsvg-enum-types.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/librsvg-enum-types.o cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include/libgsf-1 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_SVGZ=1 -I/usr/local/include/libcroco-0.6 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_LIBCROCO=1 -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/libart-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/usr/local/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/X11R6/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\librsvg\ -DLIBRSVG_DATADIR=\/usr/X11R6/share/gnome\ -I/usr/local/include -O -pipe -MT librsvg-enum-types.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/librsvg-enum-types.Tpo -c librsvg-enum-types.c -o librsvg-enum-types.o /dev/null 21 /bin/sh /usr/ports/graphics/librsvg2/work/gnome-libtool --mode=link cc -O -pipe -L/usr/local/lib -o librsvg-2.la -rpath /usr/X11R6/lib -version-info 14:7:12 -no-undefined -export-dynamic rsvg-affine.lo librsvg-features.lo rsvg-bpath-util.lo rsvg-css.lo rsvg-defs.lo rsvg-image.lo rsvg-paint-server.lo rsvg-path.lo rsvg-file-util.lo rsvg-filter.lo rsvg-marker.lo rsvg-mask.lo rsvg-shapes.lo rsvg-structure.lo rsvg-styles.lo rsvg-text.lo rsvg.lo rsvg-cond.lo rsvg-art-composite.lo rsvg-art-draw.lo rsvg-art-mask.lo rsvg-art-paint-server.lo rsvg-art-render.lo librsvg-enum-types.lo -L/usr/local/lib -lgsf-1 -lgobject-2.0 -lxml2 -lz -lm -lglib-2.0 -liconv -L/usr/local/lib -lcroco-0.6 -lglib-2.0 -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lart_lgpl_2 -lxml2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lpango-1.0 -lm

Problem with fsck : continued
Hi, Thanks for the support so far. FreeBSD is working beautifully, both on the server as well as client workstations. Except for fsck. I am writing from India, where the electrical power scenario makes up for any possible lack of frustration. My server faces unscheduled power cuts and consequent improper shutdown 2-3 times every day. This is what I have placed in my server's rc.conf : fsck_y_enable=YES background_fsck=NO Most of the time when the system comes up on its own without first being subjected to single-user mode operations, half the services (including squid, webmin, vsftpd, svscan and - most significantly - getty for the local console) fail to start up, although fsck does run automatically in the foreground - with the y[es] argument enabled - on all partitions listed in fstab on system restart (i.e. restoration of electricity). The only solution I know is to first go into single-user mode and run fsck on the commandline for all partitions, after which the server comes up quite nicely. This would be okay if I could leave a console attached to the server, in which case I could run fsck interactively in single-user mode and get the system up again. For daily operations however, my organisation would much prefer to have the server working without a console attached. So now the question is if I can get FreeBSD 6.0 to run fsck automatically on restart in such a manner that all services come up consistently. I am even willing to have fsck run in the foreground upon EACH restart, irrespective of whether the previous shutdown was proper or improper. How do I do this ? Thanks for any help.

pkg_add down!
i have set my PACKAGESITE to ftp3 and ftp10 and then monitored the throughput with my packetshaper and it looks as though there is a problem. I use pkg_add -r perl and pkg_add -r nessus-plugins noth of them going to different ftp servers one on 3 and the other on 10 however checking the ftp traffic flow during this process is a little concerning.

However, you are not going to have a very happy computing experience with any flavor of Unix if you keep shutting the system down uncleanly several times a day because of power failures.

Re: Standard way of updating 6.x ?
On Jan 31, 2006, at 8:31 AM, Xn Nooby wrote: Is there a suggested method for updating a newly installed FreeBSD 6.0system? I have found several websites with similar but differing methods, often somehow specific to the author's configuration. What I usually do first is install from a CD and get a bare-bones system bootable. What I would like to do after that is update the kernel, system programs, user programs, and packages. I usually end up using cvsup, portsnap, and portupgrade with varying levels of success. What I would really like is a fool-proof method that works everytime, if there is such a thing. For example, rebuilding things at the lowest layer first, and working my way up. I was following a websites tutorial yesterday, and was confronted with a stale imagemagic dependency, where I chose to force an override. I didn't know if I was doing some wrong or not, and it seemed to work, but I would rather not have to force anything, if possible. Previously I had posted the steps I was using, and several people made annotations which I was able to integrate, but I was mostly curious if there wasn't some standard way. I am trying to use portsnap, since it seems much faster than cvsup, but the handbook doesn't seem to have portsnap integrated in to the rebuild steps yet (it is in the appendix I think). There seems to be updates steps for 4.x and 5.x, but not yet 6.x, or maybe I just have found them yet. There seems to be a lot of ways to update your system right now. Actually I think you're on the right track as to what method needs to be done to update your system. cvsup: Use for updating the ports tree and your system's source (base, docs, info, manpages, contrib, etc stuff available in sysinstall). portupgrade: Use for updating your actual ports programs. There may be a more elegant solution though and I would be more than happy to hear it too :). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Problem with fsck : continued
You are going around the wrong way to solve your problem. Problem is not with FreeBSD or fsck, it's your electrical power supply. Every body else in the world puts a UPS unit between their pc and the wall socket. The UPS unit can give you 30 min run time from its battery and then signal its time to shutdown your system. There is FreeBSD port system software that works with different UPS systems to do this. After system shutdown when your power comes back on your system will start up normally with no problems and no risk to the hardware. A complete hands off solution. Having the power stopped on a running pc will damage the hardware and destroy your system. You are just plan lucky that has not occured yet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of manish jain Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 12:26 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Problem with fsck : continued Hi, Thanks for the support so far.

ports
Hello! I am a FreeBSD user from 6 months now. Getting from linux to FreeBSD it was easy but I still use linux for certain aplications. Probably on the desktop side of the operating system i do miss a few applications from linux such as: kphonetools, xfsamba, the installation of kde-meta applications one by one rather than a whole block, the flash from macromedia etc. Well to be honest I would like FreeBSD to have the same number of ports as Gentoo Linux on the desktop side of the operating system. There are so many people out there who switch distros because they want something more stable and with as many as possible applications. According to my research people stick to a distro because of the following reasons: Stability Securitty Variety of different programs to run Newer and updated software regularly. Probably having it's own port rather than a linux port for the same software such as bsd firefox and linux firefox. I hope this helps on the spread of the distro.

Re: Standard way of updating 6.x ?
Xn Nooby wrote: Is there a suggested method for updating a newly installed FreeBSD 6.0system? I have found several websites with similar but differing methods, often somehow specific to the author's configuration. What I usually do first is install from a CD and get a bare-bones system bootable. What I would like to do after that is update the kernel, system programs, user programs, and packages. I usually end up using cvsup, portsnap, and portupgrade with varying levels of success. What I would really like is a fool-proof method that works everytime, if there is such a thing. For example, rebuilding things at the lowest layer first, and working my way up. I was following a websites tutorial yesterday, and was confronted with a stale imagemagic dependency, where I chose to force an override. I didn't know if I was doing some wrong or not, and it seemed to work, but I would rather not have to force anything, if possible. Previously I had posted the steps I was using, and several people made annotations which I was able to integrate, but I was mostly curious if there wasn't some standard way. I am trying to use portsnap, since it seems much faster than cvsup, but the handbook doesn't seem to have portsnap integrated in to the rebuild steps yet (it is in the appendix I think). There seems to be updates steps for 4.x and 5.x, but not yet 6.x, or maybe I just have found them yet. The standard way for upgrading the base system is described in the handbook, and uses cvsup along with the 'buildworld', 'buildkernel' 'installkernel' and 'installworld' targets to make(1). A reboot is involved, and any files under /etc/ that have changed must be updated with mergemaster(8), which, although quite automated, is in no way automagic IMHO. But, then, I'm probably not well-read/experienced enough with it. I would suggest that it is fool proof, inasmuch as nobody slips a finger during a CVS commit --- all bets are off when the source is bad. This method applies equally well to 4.X, 5.X and 6.X and higher systems. I have this scripted for use on most of my servers, although I've split the steps in two as I prefer to control when a host is rebooted. It can be done fully automatic in my experience, if you don't care when the machine gets rebooted. Incidentally, kernel and system programs, as you mention, would probably qualify as base system in FreeBSD lingo. User programs and packages are equivalent to ports or packages, or ports/packages, or 3rd party software in FBSD-speak. It's a minor point, but understanding this can go a long way toward understanding the documentation. There seems to be a lot of ways to update your system right now. There are several ways to update ports, that is, 3rd-party software that is not part of the base system, but there is really one way that is approved by the docs for the FreeBSD base [not counting old style usage of make --- the fact is, Unix is about tools, not policy, and that's the real reason why there are a lot of ways to foo(); ]... I have used both portupgrade and portmanager for upgrading ports/packages; both these programs do an awful lot of work for you, but occasionally situations may develop within the ports tree that cause either to have slight difficulties. Both of them take quite a little while on a system with lots of installed ports/packages, and I must admit that more than once I have fixed an issue with ports/packages in a less-than-perfect way (much as is common in MS land). Dru Lavigne wrote an excellent article on using portupgrade: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- Everyone is a genius.

I just now installed 6.0 from cd and installed all my ports using the pkg_add command and its default ftp server. Took less than 2 hours start to finish.

Regarding QuickCam webcams and FreeBSD
Howdy, I happen to have been doing quite a bit of research in this area. What I wanted to do was to set up a *nix box with a webcam and a wireless NIC, so that I can mount the headless machine in the bedroom to keep an eye on our seven-month-old baby. (Link between the *nix box and the home private network will be encrypted using IPsec VPN.) What I have found so far are the following: 1) The apps that I have found do not work with a wide variety of more recent makes of webcams. If you do a Google search on FreeBSD webcam or OpenBSD webcam, you actually see some tools that purportedly work with QuickCam Express or QuickCam B/W (or Color), and a handful of other models. 2) Logitech, the maker of QuickCam, used to make available technical specs and docs for the developers to write drivers with. Unfortunately, the company does not do that anymore, and anyone who wants to make a QuickCam-series work has to either reverse-engineer it, use available drivers and hope for the best, or run it under Windows. 3) By contrast, NetBSD and some Linux distros (so far I've heard promising things about Fedora Core 4 and I think Gentoo) have more development work going on for webcams. If FreeBSD doesn't work for you, try some of the other *nixes.

Re: RELENG_6 on HP ProLiant ML 350 G4p
Le 31/01/2006 à 12:18:46+0100, lars a écrit Hi all, I'm planning on getting a HP ProLiant ML350 G4p server (p for the iLO). Apparently this machine has a Smart Array 641 controller for the SCSI HDDs. I'd like to set up a RAID1 volume for the OS and a RAID 5 volume for the data. I assume the RAID volumes can be set up via the RAID controller interface during the POST, I think it's called RBSU or something like that. I want to slice the RAID 1 volume for the OS with /, swap, /var, /tmp, /home and the RAID 5 volume with a /data slice. No gvinum or soft-RAID. I want to keep it as KISS as possible. Does FreeBSD recognize the two volumes as two disks and behave accordingly? Has anyone on this list successfully deployed a system in such a way? Or do you have any suggestion to improve on this idea of setup? Sorry my english is not very good. I don't understand you problem. If you want have two raid volume under you Smart Array there are no problem to FreeBSD to use it. Don't forget with a scsi card (raid or not) it's the scsi controller to inform the OS what disk you have. It's not the OS. Then if you OS (like FreeBSD) have right driver to use your SmartArray there no problem.

I just installed FreeBSD 6.0 on a computer I want to use to test BIND. The newest release is 9.3.2, but the one installed with FreeBSD 6.0 is 9.3.1. Since according to the ISC's website there are a few bugs in 9.3.1, I decided to upgrade. I then looked over the ports and found versions going up to 9.3.1. So I downloaded the neccessary files from ISC's ftp. But I started wondering, where would the most appropriate place to install BIND be? My current version is installed in /usr/sbin/named, but the default install goes to /usr/local/sbin/named. Should I let the install go to it's default location, rename /usr/sbin/named to /usr/sbin/named9.3.1 and then symlink /usr/local/sbin/named to /usr/sbin/named? Or, should I tell the proper install flag to install named in /usr/sbin, and overwrite the previous version?( after all, I am not going to use it ) I am planning to put BIND in a sandbox anyway..I ask this mainly to find out about common practices.

Re: Trying to Upgrade 5.2.1 to later version
Yeah, the easiest workaround is like this: - Download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - Burn it to a CD - Boot it - Make sure to select FTP as source. - Install =) On 1/31/06, A.

What am I doing wrong? I chose FTP to try to get the most up to date infowhat happened? I see 9.3.2 on Fresh ports, why not thru sysinstall? sysinstall looks for pre-compiled packages; I don't know if packages have been built that include this version of BIND; someone else probably does, or can take time to investigate. However, even more telling on this issue: sysinstall uses a $RELEASENAME variable (correct name??) to look specifically for packages that match the version of FreeBSD that you have installed. This means that if you have installed 6.0-RELEASE, your version of sysinstall is looking for the packages that were created at the time that 6.0-RELEASE was compiled, back in the fall. Most likely, at that time, the lastest BIND was 9.3.1. You can use some obscure part of sysinstall to set this variable to ANY and perhaps get a newer list of packages. It may also be possible to get a later package simply with: $pkg_add -r bind9 If you have the ports tree installed AND up to date, then: $cd /usr/ports/dns/bind9 $make install clean will absolutely get you the latest version of the port. For more help on installing ports/packages, see handbook chapter 4. For more help on the latest and greatest, see The Cutting Edge, handbook chapter 20. Best of luck with FreeBSD!

The BIOS does not state CPU frequency, nor the boot sequence. In fact, if I reboot the FreeBSD virtual machine, the frequency would be different (sometimes 460MHz , others 550MHz...etc). I think this is causing a considerable degradation in the FreeBSD speed. Any suggestions in this regard ? MSFT doesn't officially support FreeBSD, but I'm aware they support Linux on their virtual server. It's typical for the cpu speed to very inside a virtual machine, VMware does this all the time, typically it's 0 ~ 100MHz off, but yours is way off... I did know the answer to this question but don't remember, sorry. try a google search for VMware and cpu speed or frequency. I have been able to fix issues with the time counter by adding disabling device apic and adding these lines: options SYSVSHM options SYSVMSG options CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG device cpufreq However, the issue with the CPU speed not picked up properly is still there: freebsd# sysctl hw.clockrate hw.clockrate: 486 Any other options I can play with to change the CPU frequency ?

Re: How to get latest and greatest FAMP
I wanted to do a quick test of Apache21, MySQL5 and PHP5
I tried a minimal install of FreeBSD 6.0 then pkg_add -r which
worked fine up until PHP5 where I was told that Apache21
conflicted with Apache13 that was to be installed as aPHP5
dependancy. I pkg_delete and went ahead with installing
PHP5 then Apache13 but when I tried to pkg_delete Apache13
so I could install Apache21 was told that I coudl not remove it ?
If you're talking about /usr/ports/lang/php5, then it's Makefile has this:
.if defined(WITH_APACHE)
.if ${APACHE_VERSION} 13
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-apxs2=${APXS}
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-apxs=${APXS}
.endif
.endif
I haven't done it, but I'm guessing if you install apache21 first, then
set APACHE_VERSION = 21 in your environment, then make, it would do what
you wanted.

PCBSD on Windows
For anyone who has been curious about maybe giving PCBSD a run for it's money but just haven't had the time (or resources) to do so, here is your answer: http://www.pcbsd.org/index.php?id=23 I just installed VMware Player (5 mins.) and ran the PCBSD VMware image off it and...done. A fully functional PCBSD environment. This is extremely beneficial to anyone forced to use a Microsoft OS. It seems like PCBSD is quickly obtaining the just works status. -David ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: uninstall httpd + others to get a base system only
all packages installed _should_ be in /var/db/pkg(i think) i'm in windows now. so if you pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/* that should clean it all up. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Java without Motif/X?
Greetings, Has anyone successfully gotten Java (1.4 or 1.5) running on FreeBSD without Motif/X? I'd like to run a gui-less Java app on my server, and would strongly prefer to not install all of X + Motif, and all its potential security issues, just to get Java running. Thanks in advance, -Nick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sshd error on 5.4

I actually fell back the original one and error is still there. Perhaps because of the way you modified /etc/rc.d/sshd? You need to tell us more about what you did to your system. I upgraded sshd on the 5.4 (VPN server) and made /etc/rc.d/sshd using /usr/local/sbin/sshd instead of old one /usr/sbin/sshd. If you modified the rc.d script, you did something wrong. It already provides rc.conf variables that you can use to control the location of the ssh binary to run (see the rc.conf manpage). Kris pgpuS9xAI4074.pgp Description: PGP signature
