  Why FreeBSD tries to use ldap database if my user system is

 Did you ever find a fix for this? I am running into the same

Check your pam.d configuration, particularly /etc/pam.d/login
  
   Probally a silly question, but how would that help with this
   problem?
  
  
  pam controls how each application, including login attempts to
  authenticate. nss controls how user, host information is looked up.
  
  I don't know if it will help your problem, I'm struggling through my
  own pam/nss/ldap issues, but it is a part of the picture.
 
 I am curious. Do you run into problems with SSH and xterm, but
 everything else works? That is what I am currently hitting.
 
 initgroups(kitsune,1001): Invalid argument
 
 Is what it is kicking into /var/log/messages. That is right after I
 authenticate.

Not sure if this has a bearing on the problem. From the samba by example
web pages whenrefering to ldap:

Some Linux systems (Novell SUSE Linux in particular) add entries to the
nsswitch.conf file that may cause operational problems with the
configuration methods adopted in this book. It is advisable to comment
out the entries passwd_compat and group_compat where they are found in
this file.

I too have this problem. Logins worked ok with earlier versions. I had a
setup which worked fine (can't get at the machine at present) that had
no nis line present on the initial install, but when I tried setting up
another machine the nis line has appeared. From my notes nsswitch.conf
looked like this with an earlier version of freebsd and worked ok:

passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group:  files ldap
hosts:  files dns
networks: files
shells: files

Now without the compat: nis line logins fail.

Sendmail stores mail in mbox format.  I'm not sure if it allows other 
storage formats such as maildir or berkeley-db.  And if so how it's 
enabled.


It does through additional local mailers, such as Cyrus.



Cyrus-IMAP unless I'm mistaken by default looks for mail in the

No, it does not support mbox.

 Don't you haft to have a specific partition and slice? So it should be
 something like fsck_ufs /dev/ad3s1a? Else way try
 fsck_ufs /dev/ad3.

I think I tried fsck -t UFS /dev/ad3 already (not sure though, will be in
the office later in the afternoon and try then). I believe you can also do a 

newfs /dev/ad1

instead of 

newfs /dev/ad1s1

which may result in a different disk layout. I'm also not sure about that.

details about EOL (of FreeBSD 5.4) ?

2006-05-09 Thread albi

i'm running 5.4 on a few servers, and i wondered till when
security-updates will be available

http://www.freebsd.org/security/ says that the EOL is estimated may 31
2006, but does that also mean no more security-updates for 5.4 ?

i have no problem with doing a reinstall with the brand new 6.1 (or is
the upgrade-jump from 5.4 to 6.1 no problem at all ?) , but i just like
to get an idea when that would be really needed :)

New freebsd logo on freebsd.org

2006-05-09 Thread Kep Woof

Hi,

I guess this is the wrong list, but I just looked at freebsd.org and
saw the new logo.  I really think it looks terrible.  Everyone that
I've spoken to agrees.  It looks like some kind of sextoy/spacehopper,
and not becomming to the enterprise os we know and love.  Maybe it was
the best from the competition you had, but I don't think it's good
enough.  Is there somewhere this was discussed?  The new logo already
looks last year.  Is there a plan to redesign it each year as design
trends come and go? If you compare it to the debian, IBM, BMW,
greenpeace, or google logos, the design relates in some way to the
subject.  I don't see that happening here.

Sorry if this is too late, or an unpopular opinion, or in the wrong
place, but I just wondered if anyone thinks the new logo is good, and
how long it's expected to last.

Interested to hear what people think,

mac address in install.cfg

2006-05-09 Thread jad
Hi,

I am doing network installs of FreeBSD 6.0 and I want to place the install 
files in a directory that depends on the mac address of the server being 
installed. In install.cfg I want to specify something like

nfs=10.0.0.1:/var/net_install/files/$MAC_ADDRESS
mediaSetNFS
package=db42-4.2.52_4
packageAdd

Where the target server substitutes $MAC_ADDRESS at install time. Can 
anyone think of a way of doing this?

That's what it is, don't you know?

and not becomming to the enterprise os we know and love. 

But it's not there for YOU my boy.  You see, Beastie was getting
rather constricted with the disappearance of Beastieess.  He
tried screwing the Penguin last year but that was just a one night
stand.

So we gave him a sex toy so he could at least go get some relief.
Only problem is he keeps popping it.  It's some sharp tines on
the pitch fork, you know.

Maybe it was
the best from the competition you had, but I don't think it's good

Ask beastie, I think he's already smiling a bit wider.

Well, it's kind of hard to have relations with a sex toy, but our
Beastie is pretty constricted.

Sorry if this is too late, or an unpopular opinion, or in the wrong

I just think we need to get Beastie laid a bit more, then he won't
need it.

Yup! :-)

We've been putting stickers with Beastie (and Beastie alone!) on all
our FreeBSD servers. No weird sex toys allowed in our data center...
Poor Beastie! :)

Semi-seriously, www@: how about offering people a chance to individually
customize that logo away? It's not really THAT important, but setting
up a transparent proxy just to filter that banner out is kind of silly
waste of time.

in /etc/make.conf (see /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf) you can
disable the build of sendmail 

(if you also disable the kerberos build, make sure you don't lose your
ssh-session because of the kerberos-dependency)

I have to agree with the original poster. The logo is crap, and so is the
font they've started to use since the announcement of FreeBSD6.1-RELEASE. At
the very least, consider this a plea to restore the font that was used
before the latest change.

Thanks.

FreeBSD's linker doesn't add /usr/local/lib to the search path by 
default, unlike some other operating systems.  The -L/usr/local/lib 
flag is therefore required...

Hi Eric,

I asked about that @emulation some time ago. DRI under linux compat is
not working at the moment. Here's the original thread:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-April/001957.html

Since then I updated linux_base to fc-3_3, X libs to
linux-xorg-libs-6.8.2_1 but DRI is still not working (probably due to
outdated linux-dri but I'm not an expert).

HTH,

Karol

 Eric

jails or chroot?

2006-05-09 Thread Michael Grant

I host a bunch of websites on my box.  Recently I had some problems
with file access problems with php which caused me to look into
putting each of my clients into their own jail or chroot.  I have
roughly 100 different domains I'd need to split.

Has anyone done this for more than a handfull of clients?  Using
apache and their mass virtual hosting, 100 domains is a breeze.  But
with a jail or chroot, I need a separate apache process for each
domain.  This is going to mean hundreds of apache processes.  This
seems unreasonable.

When it comes time to upgrade, how does one upgrade 100 different
jails?  This will be a nightmare!

What do you folks do who run lots of domains on freebsd?

The usual system logs such as /var/log/messages are not being saved.
/var/log/messages does not exist, but /var/log/messages.0 (the old rotated

I've tried a 'tail /dev/klog' and it returns 'device busy'. syslogd -dv isn't
returning anything useful either.

RE: Logs not being saved (/var/log/messages, etc)?

2006-05-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mgEDV.net

 The usual system logs such as /var/log/messages are not being saved.
 /var/log/messages does not exist, but /var/log/messages.0 
 (the old rotated
 version) does.
if theres a rotated log, there should be a source for, too.
check permissions on /var/log (eg. schg-flag) maybe there's
some odd reason for syslogd not being able to write to it.
also, try creating an empty file (touch /var/log/messages;
chmod o-r /var/log/messages) and restarting syslogd.
you can test logging with the logger-command.

if your box is not private (for you only):
did you check, if someone removed the file? check for logins,
network sessions, strange users with uid 0 in master.passwd,
change-date of files in at least /etc. if anything looks strange,
change your root-pw, shutdown unnecessary daemons, and take the
box off the net if it's possible ,-)

I think I fixed it guys, thanks for all of your help.

Syslogd was choking because /var/log/messages didn't exist. I touched that,
restarted and all was working again. I did the same for the others (auth.log
etc), and things seem ok now.

Many thanks,

kern.randompid: jot generation senseful?

[asked on -security before, but no answer, maybe here's more traffic ;-)]

hi,

is a random pid generation really a security enhancement?

if yes, would it make sense to setup something like:
-- sysctl kern.randompid=`jot -r 1 500 2000`
in cron to be executed every X mins/hrs?

and finally, what are the recommended minimum (security)
and maximum (performance) values for kern.randompid?

Re: jails or chroot?

2006-05-09 Thread Michael Grant

I'll try to be more explicit on my requirements.  I'm not worried
about mail.  I'm mostly worried about web.  Each client has a web site
with one or more domains.  I currently offer them
apache+php+mysql+mod_perl+mod_ssl.  One of them needs java server
pages, tomcat I think.  Everyone gets access to their own logs and to
geolizer (webalizer).  Some clients would like shell access.  Most
clients write their web site using ftp.  Certain ones need also the MS
Front Page Extensions.  Some clients want an ftp upload area.  Ssl
poses a special problem in that I need to allocate an ip address for
those who have their own ssl certificate.  It's pretty much all
standard stuff.

But yes, I totally agree with you, it is an administration nightmare
to set up separate jails and keep track of which has which version of
what and so on.  There must be an easier way to do this.  Some of you
folks who run hosting sites, how do you manage large numbers of
clients?

Agreed that creation hundreds of chroots or jails would be an administrative
nightmare. File access can be solved with suexec (compile apache with suexec
enabled), this means that for each virtual host entry in your apache config
you add User and Group (check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec.html or
your apache version doc set). This will make each apache process run as the
user specified in virtual host entry (not www) allowing you to restrict
their access to files with filesystem ACL's and even ugidfw, you could also
then setup process/memory restrictions in /etc/login.conf

It will also make updating pretty much as standard as it is now.

Give it a burl if it sounds like what you need.

Re: panic: page fault - 6.0-RELEASE-p7 (now 6.1-RC2)

2006-05-09 Thread Nick Wood

At 09:14 AM 5/5/2006, you wrote:

Hello,

We have a group of web and mail servers that run under a moderate 
load.  We recently upgraded them from 4/5.x to 6.0.  While we 
thought we had done enough testing, apparently we hadn't and are now 
experiencing panic's on a number of the servers.  Some of our more 
heavily loaded servers have been fine for days, while others will 
crash every 6 to 36 hours.  Below are some pieces of information 
that may be helpful.


Should I be posting this to another list as well?

I know I can decrease NMBCLUSTERS dramatically, and give more memory 
to the kernel if that would help.


I've read a number of similar cases where this panic was related to 
a hardware failure, and while I can't rule that out completely, it 
does seem unusual that several servers are apparently having the 
same problem.  Could it be that hardware problems existed before the 
upgrade, but are now brought out by the increased load caused by the 
new OS version and other installed software?  We have IPMI cards in 
some of the crashing servers and they all report normal 
temperatures, fan speeds, and voltages.  Nothing unusual in the event logs.


I'm willing to dig deeper and do more testing if anyone has suggestions.


As suggested, we have upgraded to 6.1-RC2 and are experiencing the 
same or a very similar panic.  Some things have changed on the 
system, so I'll re-post our config, backtrace and dmesg again.


Also, in the past I have seen kgdb report the process that caused the 
panic, as well as some other information when first loaded, but 
sometimes it doesn't show that information - am I doing something 
wrong there?  It has shown that information before, and it has always 
been tcpserver from the ucspi-tcp-0.88_2 port.

You can't change it once the system is running me thinks, so you'd run it at

It is just on or off. 1 means PIDs are random.

In newfs_msdos(8) it is the -I volume id option.

Maybe there is some tool available via ports that can change the volid

5.4 to 6.x is pretty straightforward.  The only thing to watch out for

Hi,

I would suggest using ssh with RSA key pairs and passphrases only. Dont 
allow password based login or root login over ssh. Only allow root to 
login using the console and use sudo for all admin tasks.

I have not tried this myself but you could use tcpwrappers and write a 
script to add the IP address from repeated failed messages to the 
hosts.deny file. There are various scripts already written to do this. A 
quick goggle search found this

RE: jails or chroot?

2006-05-09 Thread Philippe Lang
Hi,

Sure, jails require more work regarding administration. Ports are not the
biggest problem I think, it's the easy part. The problem is when you have to
update the world. But even here, with a good script, it's not such a
nightmare.

Maybe all you need is Michael's solution. But take into account that with
jails, you have a great flexibility regarding the application you install
for a particular client. And all the security that a jail system can offer,
plus a fantastic way of managing your backups.

I personally run a jail based VPS server, based on FreeBSD 6.0, with 13
jails at the moment. It's a dual xeon, with 4GB RAM, and RAID 5 SCSI HDs. I
have 355 MB RAM active, 1525 inactive and 1679 MB RAM are free. I intend to
run a maximum of 50 jails on this server. And until now, nothing seems to
oppose to my plans.

Beware of one thing with jails, though: a bug in FreeBSD does not permit a
clean shutdown of jails. But tust me: you never need to!

Hope this helps, and keep us informed of your choice.

Philippe Lang

 Has anyone done this for more than a handfull of clients?  Using

 with a jail or chroot, I need a separate apache process for each 
 domain.  This is going to mean hundreds of apache processes.  This 
 seems unreasonable.


Agreed that creation hundreds of chroots or jails would be an administrative
nightmare. File access can be solved with suexec (compile apache with suexec
enabled), this means that for each virtual host entry in your apache config
you add User and Group (check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec.html
or your apache version doc set). This will make each apache process run as
the user specified in virtual host entry (not www) allowing you to restrict
their access to files with filesystem ACL's and even ugidfw, you could also
then setup process/memory restrictions in /etc/login.conf

It will also make updating pretty much as standard as it is now.

Give it a burl if it sounds like what you need.

Don't feel too bad - the little bastards try it on anywhere and
everywhere.

There are a few things you can do to stop them in their tracks.  From
what I gather, the pf firewall provides some neat table functionality
that can be put to use in this situation.  I have never used pf, so will
not say more of it here.

I use Denyhosts, which is intended to stop brute force ssh attacks, but
which can be used to deny unwanted/unwelcome connections to any or all
services.  It's in the ports, is easy to set up and works really well.
There is a synchronisation server from which it can download IP
addresses that have been logged trying to mount attacks, and allows your
DenyHosts to upload addresses that have tried to crack you.

There are a couple of things you can do to protect your sshd.  First,
allow only public key authentication.  This may not be practical in all
situations, but it is a very good way of preventing dictionary attacks
from succeeding!  Secondly, set AllowGroups or AllowUsers in your
sshd.config, so that only explicitly permitted users or groups can
request a login.

Re: System Intrustion Detection

2006-05-09 Thread Ean Kingston
M,

There are several choices you can make to deal with this. 

First, be sure your root password is 'strong'. Generally 'strong' means
that it is a combination of upper case, lower case, and numbers with a
decent lenght. I personally go with at least 12 characters and throw in
some punctuation as well. Also, don't use real words.

Second, configure your ssh daemon to only support public key
authentication (PubkeyAuthentication, RSAAuthentication). This means
every user need to have a public/private key pair. One part stays on the
server, the other goes to the remote system and is used to authenticate
with the server. This also makes the password attacks you are seeing
pretty useless.

Third, if your users are all coming in from a relatively small list of
IP addresses, you can consider using tcpwrappers (which should have been
built in to your sshd daemon). This allows you to configure the sshd
daemon to only allow access from a restricted set of ip addresses (or
block a specific set of addresses). This method will also stop those
messages from appearing in your mail once it is set up properly.

I use all three techniques. Unfortunately, I have found that I have to
pretty much exclude large parts of the world from accessing my ssh
server for the third option to be effective and it is getting worse. I
used to have to block only a hand full of countries but I'm now seeing
attempts from several continents.

something like devil-linux with freebsd possible ?

2006-05-09 Thread Florian Meister
hi,

Because the time I use to manage our freebsd-servers grows and grows I
searched the net for something like devil-linux in bsd.

DevilLinux (http://www.devil-linux.org) is a nice project which makes it
easy to manage a large amount of servers. Every server boots from a
devil-linux-cd (or usb-stick, or something) and stores its config
somewhere else.

If you have to update your systems, burn the cds and change it. If
something fails, put the original-cd in, and no problem. If someone has
access to your server no binaries can be changed. The config is stored
on the usb-stick. It will be loaded into a ramdisk and then the stick is
unmounted. So you have the same config after reboot, no matter what you
change. (You can do a write-config if you want to save it).

I think it's a very nice project, but I am searching for the same in
*BSD. Is there such a project around ?

thanks, florian

 Most clients write their web site using ftp.  Certain ones need
 also the MS Front Page Extensions.  Some clients want an ftp upload
 area.  Ssl poses a special problem in that I need to allocate an ip

 much all standard stuff.
I use suphp with apache in a mass hosting configuration for about 50 
websites to take care of the php access issues.  You'll need to setup 
the ACLs correctly so there is no snooping.  I then use scponly to 
allow chrooted sftp access to their web directories.  Webalizer logs 
are automatically generated an placed in their chrooted directory for 
download.
As for shell access I don't allow it.  If people want easy command 
line access I just tell use sshfs on FreeBSD or Linux.  The Windows 
and Mac users don't care about shell access.
For the Tomcat, Frontpage, and SSL users just setup jails for them.

Hopefully some of the above helps you in your situation.


 But yes, I totally agree with you, it is an administration
 nightmare to set up separate jails and keep track of which has
 which version of what and so on.  There must be an easier way to do
 this.  Some of you folks who run hosting sites, how do you manage
 large numbers of clients?

Broken Compaq ML530 G1 ACPI.

2006-05-09 Thread David Robillard

Hi everyone,

We have some Compaq ML530 G1 machines and I would like to upgrade them
to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7. Unfortunately, the ACPI seems to be broken
and the systems freeze when booting with ACPI.

I did not find a whole lot of info on the mailing list archives. Just this post
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2005-December/002324.html
from which I tried the patch. But it fails to compile.

I then tried using my own AML file built with acpidump(8) and changing
loader.conf(5) with the following
acpi_dsdt_load=YES
acpi_dsdt_name=/boot/acpi_dsdt.aml # You may change this name.
But again it failed miserably.

Can anyone give me a hand with this problem? I am not a member of the
freebsd-acpi mailing list, so please reply to me at this address.

Many thanks,

David

 Check your pam.d configuration,
 particularly /etc/pam.d/login
   
Probally a silly question, but how would that help with this
problem?
   
   
   pam controls how each application, including login attempts to
   authenticate. nss controls how user, host information is looked
   up.
   
   I don't know if it will help your problem, I'm struggling
   through my own pam/nss/ldap issues, but it is a part of the
   picture.
  
  I am curious. Do you run into problems with SSH and xterm, but
  everything else works? That is what I am currently hitting.
  
  initgroups(kitsune,1001): Invalid argument
  
  Is what it is kicking into /var/log/messages. That is right after
  I authenticate.
 
 Not sure if this has a bearing on the problem. From the samba by
 example web pages whenrefering to ldap:
 
 Some Linux systems (Novell SUSE Linux in particular) add entries to
 the nsswitch.conf file that may cause operational problems with the
 configuration methods adopted in this book. It is advisable to
 comment out the entries passwd_compat and group_compat where they
 are found in this file.
 
 I too have this problem. Logins worked ok with earlier versions. I
 had a setup which worked fine (can't get at the machine at present)
 that had no nis line present on the initial install, but when I
 tried setting up another machine the nis line has appeared. From my
 notes nsswitch.conf looked like this with an earlier version of
 freebsd and worked ok:
 
 passwd: files ldap
 shadow: files ldap
 group:  files ldap
 hosts:  files dns
 networks: files
 shells: files

I am not using group_compat and passwd_compat with NIS. 

The following works perfectly fine unless I use xterm or ssh. I've
not messed much with pam and ldap yet. I have it setup for auth, but
that is all.

group: files nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: files ldap

On May 9, 2006, at 5:53 AM, Michael Grant wrote:



When it comes time to upgrade, how does one upgrade 100 different
jails?  This will be a nightmare!


Actually, not.  You only need 1 master jail and a bunch of nullfs  
read only mounts plus some exclusive space for each jail.I run 44  
jails at the moment this way.  Upgrading is relatively easy as I only  
have to upgrade one master jail (and unfortunately lots of jail etc  
if such happens but a few scripts can automate much of that).


I basically set up

/local/jails/master  and install according to man jail into this  
place.  I never start this jail.


I happen to use disk backed md devices as the root for each jail.  I  
mount each on on /local/jail/jailname


Then I do

/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/bin /local/jails/adcmw/bin
/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/lib /local/jails/adcmw/lib
/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/libexec /local/jails/ 
adcmw/libexec
/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/sbin /local/jails/adcmw/

/sbin/mount_nullfs -o ro /local/jails/master/usr /local/jails/adcmw/usr
/sbin/mount -t procfs proc /local/jails/adcmw/proc

devfs_set_ruleset devfsrules_jail /local/jails/adcmw/dev
/sbin/devfs -m /local/jails/adcmw/dev rule -s 4 applyset

In my master jail I have some symlinks so that each jail has its own / 
usr/local/ that is writable.


All the jails run out of one installed jail and they also have the  
side benefit of the main system directories being read only so  
exploits in one jail cannot affect all the running jails.

OK, thanks. Searched back in my security@ archives and found it, 
plain as day. The discussion of 5.4's fate did happen long ago.


I actually read it carefully at the time but didn't think much of 
it, believing we'd surely have our servers on 6.x by now. So I 
totally take back the POLA statement -- I knew this was coming and 
it was my mistake to forget and let mgmt. defer the upgrade plan.


We'll do an interim hop from RELENG_5_4 to RELENG_5, and escalate 
our path to 6.x adoption. Actually, it'll be nice to wave the EOL 
stick to force some action on that. Running EOL server parts is 
against policy. =)

# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /root/

# cvsup /root/stable-supfile
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/

- Edit MYKERNEL to reflect your needs (You could remove some of the
device drivers you dont need)
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Specifically it would be the supfile stuff, everything I've been reading 
says if you put in the wrong thing here, you can screw the whole system 
up, and there aren't a lot of concrete examples, just stuff you can add 
to it. So I guess what I need is a supfile example of everything I need 
to upadate my kernel and library sources and what not, then I can do a 
make world on it later.

cvsup is definitely the preferred way to upgrade, and is very easy to use, 
especially once you get it set up the first time.

You need to:

1) Make sure you have cvsup installed
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
OR
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui  make install clean
(the latter assumes you have a ports tree on your system)

2) Create a supfile appropriate for your situation (and location).  Here is 
mine:

*default host=cvsup12.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

Change the host to a mirror close to you, and change the base to wherever you 
want the cvsup metadata files stored.  Also change the tag to RELENG_6_1 if 
you want the 6.1 branch instead of 6-STABLE.  For more details, see the 
examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup and the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

All that the above really says is to put the RELENG_6 branch of 
the src-all collection into /usr (and actually into /usr/src).

3) Run it
cvsup /path/to/your/supfile

That's it!  In the future, you just have to repeat step 3 to get the latest 
sources from your selected CVS branch.  If you want to move to a different 
branch in the future (6-STABLE or 6.2 when that happens), it's just a matter 
of changing the tag in your supfile.

Once you have the sources, you have to build and reinstall your kernel and 
world to actually update your system, but that's covered pretty well in the 
handbook and elsewhere.

Re: Upgrading to 6.1 (cvsup)

2006-05-09 Thread John Cruz

John Nielsen wrote:
cvsup is definitely the preferred way to upgrade, and is very easy to use, 
especially once you get it set up the first time.


You need to:

1) Make sure you have cvsup installed
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
OR
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui  make install clean
(the latter assumes you have a ports tree on your system)

2) Create a supfile appropriate for your situation (and location).  Here is 
mine:


*default host=cvsup12.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

Change the host to a mirror close to you, and change the base to wherever you 
want the cvsup metadata files stored.  Also change the tag to RELENG_6_1 if 
you want the 6.1 branch instead of 6-STABLE.  For more details, see the 
examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup and the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

All that the above really says is to put the RELENG_6 branch of 
the src-all collection into /usr (and actually into /usr/src).


3) Run it
cvsup /path/to/your/supfile

That's it!  In the future, you just have to repeat step 3 to get the latest 
sources from your selected CVS branch.  If you want to move to a different 
branch in the future (6-STABLE or 6.2 when that happens), it's just a matter 
of changing the tag in your supfile.


Once you have the sources, you have to build and reinstall your kernel and 
world to actually update your system, but that's covered pretty well in the 
handbook and elsewhere.


JN
Aah, thank you! I just need to learn what all that stuff means in the 
supfile but it's an example I can work with. So that will over-write 
everything in /usr/src with the new versions then? I'll start the 
download now, and tomorrow when I get my new server MoBo i'll to the 
build world thing and should be all set. gracias.

Hi,

Does anyone run WebObjects 5.3 under Freebsd 6.x? Although not

No problem.  I think we are using Java 1.4.2 but we have 5.1, 5.2,  
and 5.3 running on FreeBSD 6.0.  Normally we use a Solaris 10 backend  
with FreeBSD frontend but eveything has to run on the FreeBSD  
frontend too as a test and currently we have several sites including  
a 5.3 one (I think it is 5.3) on FreeBSD.

You can use ether method but cvsup is best. Use my cvsup file for an example:

# more ~/standard-supfile
*default host=cvsup12.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

After you have your cvsup file done run cvsup:

cvsup -g -L 2 ~/standard-supfile

Then cd into /usr/src and run:
make buildworld  make buildkernel  make installkernel

Note1: unless you've edited /etc/make.conf  it will build the generic
kernel, this is a good thing...

now reboot. when the system comes back up login and run mergemaster
-p, then go into single user mode by typing 'shutdown now'.

Now install world:
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld

The last step is to run mergemaster again, without the -p flag. now
reboot, your done. It's becomes simple after you've done it a few
times... this was just my high level overview so reread the handbook
for all the details:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html

I found this tutorial very helpfull on my first upgrade.

http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_applications_up-to-date.html

But I must warn you that this process can take hours-days to complete after
compiling the entire system from source code and installing, depending of
course on how big your setup is and how fast your box is.

On the other hand, a two hour download and a week of configuring can be just
as grueling.

Your choice.

  FreeBSD's linker doesn't add /usr/local/lib to the search path by 
  default, unlike some other operating systems.  The -L/usr/local/lib 
  flag is therefore required...
 
 but ldconfig already found the library (line 441)!?

ld(1) doesn't consult ldconfig(8).

Unless UPDATING say otherwise, or you are updating across a major version 
change, there is no particular need to rebuild ports. Building the base 
system should take hours rather than days.

I'm from Belgium and I'm very interested in FreeBSD. I've planned to create a

I'd like to use the official (brand new) FreeBSD logo, or even Beastie, but I

Promise SATA controller / Maxtor drive problems

2006-05-09 Thread Øyvind Skaar


Hi

I've got a Promise SATAII 150 TX2plus (pci) controller connected to my 
Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard.

The drive in question is a Maxtor 6B200M0.

First of all, when the drive is connected I can't get any resent FreeBSD 
boot cd to do anything but a intsant reboot - it starts to load, some 
text flashes and the computer reboots.


When booting from floppies or with the drive disconnected (just 
reconnect it when I get to the menu) I get this:



ad4:  Maxtor 6B200M0 BANC1B70
ad4:  398297088 sectors [395136C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/intrupts 1 depth queue
ad4:  Promise check1 failed
ad4:  Adaptec check1 failed
ad4:  LSI (v3) check1 failed
ad4:  LSI (v2) check1 failed
ad4:  FreeBSD check1 failed
GEOM: new disk ad4


Any ideas?
The drive passed all the Maxtor PowerMax tests..
Should I get a dmesg?


thanks,
ö

  What particularly of cvsup do you find confusing?
   
  Specifically it would be the supfile stuff, everything I've been
  reading says if you put in the wrong thing here, you can screw
  the whole system up,

A bad supfile will mess up _the source tree_; one could
possibly screw up the system by setting prefix=/ ... but that's
rather farfetched.
And the cure for a garbled source tree is a) put the right
stuff in the supfile then b) rm -rf /usr/src/* and c) re-run cvsup.

The font overflows?  We didn't change the font.

 Hi,
 
 I guess this is the wrong list, but I just looked at freebsd.org and
 saw the new logo.  I really think it looks terrible.  Everyone that
 I've spoken to agrees.  It looks like some kind of sextoy/spacehopper,
 and not becomming to the enterprise os we know and love.  Maybe it was
 the best from the competition you had, but I don't think it's good
 enough.  Is there somewhere this was discussed?  The new logo already
 looks last year.  Is there a plan to redesign it each year as design
 trends come and go? If you compare it to the debian, IBM, BMW,
 greenpeace, or google logos, the design relates in some way to the
 subject.  I don't see that happening here.
 
 Sorry if this is too late, or an unpopular opinion, or in the wrong
 place, but I just wondered if anyone thinks the new logo is good, and
 how long it's expected to last.
 
 Interested to hear what people think,

I think you're trolling.  Well done anyway.

Re: Promise SATA controller / Maxtor drive problems

2006-05-09 Thread DAve

Øyvind Skaar wrote:


Hi

I've got a Promise SATAII 150 TX2plus (pci) controller connected to my 
Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard.

The drive in question is a Maxtor 6B200M0.



I had 6 Maxtor SATA drives running under FreeBSD 5.2.1 up to 5.4. 
Installed on three mail servers. After 6 months and 7 drive swaps I had 
my vendor send Seagate drives and all my problems disappeared. Issues 
varied from drives just falling off to DMA issues, to drives showing 
as corrupted and then testing good at the vendor after being returned.


These were Maxtor 6Y080M0 and 6Y160MO drives. Running under onboard SATA 
or Highpoint Rocket Raid cards. Systems are SuperMicro, three servers 
delivered at the same time, one server was replaced after 3 months but 
problems continued until it's drives were replaced as well (the 
replacement server came with Maxtor drives installed again).


I tested for cable issues, Goggled for FreebSD issues, updated the 
kernel, BIOS changes, drive settings, heat issues, etc. No joy. With no 
other changes than an upgrade to Seagate drives the systems have run 
without intervention for 11 months now. These are high traffic mail 
toasters.


The Maxtor drives were problematic for us from the start, and not even 
heavy enough to make good door stops.

make buildworld fails with CPUTYPE set

2006-05-09 Thread Pietro Cerutti

Hi list,
I'm upgrading an x86 from 6.0-RELEASE to 6.1-RELEASE (RELENG_6_1).

- The CPU is
hw.machine: i386
hw.model: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron

- I have these options specified in /etc/make.conf
CPUTYPE=pentium3[m]
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe

- I'm getting this errors at make buildworld (stage 4.2: building libraries)

/usr/src/gnu/lib/csu/../../../contrib/gcc/crtstuff.c:1: error: bad
value (pentium3[m]) for -march= switch
/usr/src/gnu/lib/csu/../../../contrib/gcc/crtstuff.c:1: error: bad
value (pentium3[m]) for -mtune= switch

The log of stage 4.2 of make buildworld is below.

Any ideas?

Thank you, best regards

I solved the problem by putting pentium3 instead of pentium3[m].

So why it's stated pentium3[m] in line 35 of
/usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf ?

#   (Intel CPUs) nocona pentium4[m] prescott pentium3[m] pentium-m
#pentium2 pentiumpro pentium-mmx pentium i486 i386

It is just a shorthand for 'pentium3 pentium3m'.
The [xxx] syntax is often used in used in Unix documentation to denote
an optional part of a command line (or similar.)  In this case it is the
letter 'm' which can be added or not.
