I looked on the net and others have had problems building cairo while trying to build firefox but i cant figure it out alone, being new to nix. As the guide states i havent touched a whole lot that would conttibute to this, basically just an install, a build and install of xorg and editing a few lines of various config files to allow for different things. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: setting host name during install?
First of all you are not the owner of the shawcable.net domain name so you have no control over the DNS server to point beastie.gv.shawcable.net to the ip address which is your pc. Commerisal users have static ip address assigned to them by their ISP. Thay can then purchase register an domain name to point to their static ip address. And in this case that registered domain name would go in the hostname= of rc.conf. This is not your case. So you should follow this Assigning a Host name to your FBSD system Your FBSD operating system has internal software applications (like sendmail for one) that needs to know the fully qualified domain name of the PC it's running on. You do this by adding the option statement hostname= to /etc/rc.conf. This is the format to use. thisPCname.fakeDOMAINname.tld Where thisPCname came be any name you want to identify this particular PC on your LAN. Since the goal of this Installation Guide is to build a FBSD gateway server, the name of this PC should be gateway. Where .fakeDOMAINname can be any name you want as long as it's not a registered domain name on the public Internet (unless of course it's registered to you). Using FBSDyourlastname is a safe fake domain name to use here. So if your name was Tom Jones, you should use fbsdjones. Where .tld can be any of the standard TLD's currently in use. Such as .com or .usa or .info or .cc, but since .com is the most commonly used TLD, I recommend using .com. gateway.fbsdjones.com is a very acceptable fake host name to use. ee /etc/rc.conf and add this option statement to the file: hostname=gateway.fbsdjones.com Save the changed file and reboot your system for your edit changes to take effect. When the reboot stops at the login prompt, the line displayed just above it will now contain your host name you just added to rc.conf. Installer Note: If you have an official registered domain name that you want to use for your email sendmail server, then use that in the hostname= statement. Example, if my registered domain name was cyberman.com then hostname=cyberman.com is what I would code. Now for the hostname to be found on the gateway box you will have to add the hostname you coded to the /etc/hosts file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter Michaux Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 12:17 AM To: SM X; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: setting host name during install?

However, as of lately, I've been running into a very annoying problem. I'll try to explain: I play some OpenGL games on FreeBSD and have always played them without trouble. However, now I can't play my game of election (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) for more than 20 or 30 minutes. The same thing is happening over and over (and this is the weird part): The game will stop responding to most keys, and the ones that do respond, output rubbish characters. The mouse dies. I can CTRL-ALT-F1, login, and kill the game - the keyboard works on the console! Then I get back to KDE (CTRL-ALT-F2). The keyboard is useless at this point, as typing something will result in something else. The mouse moves, but I can't maximise windows (seems to ignore double click) and stuff. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and logging in again solves the problem. Now, the only thing that I've changed in the last month was a new piece of hardware - a Logitech G5 mouse (connected via USB). After giving it some thought, this problem started a few days after I purchased the mouse. I can't see how this could be related to what is happening with me, but it's the only thing I remind changing. I was running 6.0-RELEASE-p5, and have upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE and xorg-6.9.0, kde-3.5.1, in the hopes that it would probably fix this. Unfortunately, the situation remains. Has anyone experienced a similar problem at all ? I didn't even try google as I have no idea of what I'm after.. Sounds like some kind of buffer overrun problem, some memory allocation problem in the driver(?) JK I thought about something like this too, but what I can't explain is why it only started happening when I got the new mouse (and most likely after the usb0: host controller process error error, altough I can't say for sure - and if this was the cause, howcome it persists across reboots? I never got the error anymore (ok.. maybe 1 time).). There isn't a special driver for this mouse, and the previous one was also detected as ums0 (a Logitech MX 700). I am 100% sure that I didn't touch any configuration at all, anywhere, when this started to happen. Thoughts, ideas, maybe someone who's been through the same, altough I find it highly unlikely ?

I've only managed to cause the issue described above while playing 3D games (altough it's probably because I move the mouse a lot while gaming). I've ruled out any bug in Enemy Territory causing this (a new server patch was issued some weeks ago), as I've successfully encountered the problem on other games too. Altough I can't say for sure yet, this doesn't *seem* to happen if I lower my mouse DPI to 800 (I use 2000).

If you know how to use cvsup, then in your supfile for the source tree, you could change the tag to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1_0_RELEASE (This will give you 6.1-RELEASE). Then just run cvsup: cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/supfile Now read the UPDATING: less /usr/src/UPDATING If you've been updating sources and UPDATING before, then reading this file almost tells you everything you need to know, and even what is likely to bite you.

Kerberos init problem
Hello, I am using a freeBSD 5.4. and am trying to authenticate using pam_krb5.so against an OS X server REALM. I have couple of problems that seems a bit tough to handle for a novice of kerberos as I am. For the picture here is my config : --- - A KDC server located in my private Lan (internal zone). - A client located on the DMZ (external zone). - A DNS server configured using zones (external - internal). Now my problem : I have a POP server located on the DMZ that can't resolv the default_realm name of the KDC server (because they are located on different view. So basicly I can't reach the server and authenticate ?? What do you think will be the solution ?

Boot to a recent FreeBSD Install CD (with the Rescue tools on disk 1) or a not-so-recent FreeBSD Rescue CD, and go to rescue mode. After verifying the device name of the drive you're trying to clean (using dmesg and/or fdisk), do this (I'm assuming a single drive, ad0): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=32k count=1 That will overwrite the first 32k of the drive with zeroes. That should wipe out the MBR and the partition table. Since you want the drive to be clean anyway, it doesn't hurt to make the bs or count values higher. To zero out the entire drive, you could do this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m (With no count option it will write to the end of the device.) Doing any of this on a drive with data you care about is of course contraindicated.

Re: Promise SATA controller / Maxtor drive problems (resolved)
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 Just for the record, I got 6.1 rel. installed by disabling firewire (1394) in the bios (this seems like an A7N8X related issue) and boot with the drive disconnected. (just connected it when I got to the menu) Still don't know why the cd's wont boot with the SATA drive connected, but since it's only a problem under the initial install I don't really care enough to investigate it.. 6.1 is running great :) ø -- Øyvind Skaar | os guesswhat odots.org | 482 78 480 | http://odots.org http://last.fm/user/%67%69%7A%7A%6C%6Fn | http://43things.com/person/%C3%B8s 6865792c207768617420646f20796f75206b6e6f772c 796f752772652061206e65726420746f6f202e2e ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: quota and /var/mail
Hello Mike, Thank you for your answer, as im stuck on this point and lost with my users, beside none answering this question on the list! No when I enabled quota I did the configuration on /usr shall i enable it on /var to? then how to make the sendmail or the shell reads the user quota on his home directory and his /var/mail/$username ? When i check my webmin, the section of read user mail will give you the total amount of user useage (including /var/mail/$userInbox) but if i go to quota in my webmin it will show only home directory quota. I'm telling you this information, not because i care about webmin, but i ment to say if webmin can read the home directory quota and add to it the /var/mail/$userInbox size then for sure I can do it some how?

Hi, It all depends on how you have it mounted. Quotas follow the partition. So if you have /var/mail as its own partition, you need to do it there. If you have /var/mail as a subdirectory of /var than do it on /var. What is the contents of /etc/fstab on the box ? if webmin can read the home directory quota and add to it the /var/mail/$userInbox size then for sure I can do it some how?

Re: Install FreeBSD on Dell Inspiraon E1505/ 6400 laptop
Helllo, I want to Install Linux on Dell Inspiraon E1505/ 6400 laptop can anyone tell me is it compatitable? Your Subject said you want to install FreeBSd on the laptop. It should work OK. But, you should know that FreeBSD is not LINUX or related to LINUX. It is a UNIX type Operating System derived from the BSD family of UNIX. LINUX is an OS somewhat related to the SVR4 family of UNIX. FreeBSD is a superior Open Source, Freely available UNIX OS. It is especially suitable for network server work, but it works well in almost all situations needing a high quality UNIX environment. Give it a try. After some early work on learning the system, you will likely find it very rewarding and useful. jerry Can I install it?

As others have observed, Linux and FreeBSD are two different operating systems. You certainly need to decide which (and if it's Linux, which version of Linux). It has following configuration 1) Inspiron E1505, Intel Core Duoprocessor T2300 (2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz) I've never heard a model number like E1505 before. Is this different from the standard Inspiron 6400? 2) 15.4 Inch Wide-screen WXGA Display for Inspiron 6400/E150 I don't know what WXGA means; my Inspiron 6100 has a 1920x1200 display. 3) 1GB, DDR2, 533MHz 2 Dimm for Inspiron 6400/E1505 4) Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 GM My machine has an ATI Radeon chipset, and I can install X on it, though I still have trouble with external projectors. I don't expect any particular problems with the Intel chip set. 5) 80GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 6) Integrated 10/100 Network Cardand Modem, for Inspiron Probably Broadcom, like the other Inspirons. 7) Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps), for for Inspiron 6400/E1505 Probably the same as on my machine. You'll need to install the iwicontrol port and download the card firmware from the net. I didn't get mine to work properly with older releases than 6.1. 8) Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR) for Inspiron 6400/E1505 I have no experience with this. 9) 8X DVD+/-RW Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505 10) Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, English without Media, for Inspiron That won't work with FreeBSD or Linux. Basically, you should have no difficulty installing both FreeBSD and Linux on the machine; that's what I've done.

Re: email with a database
is there an email solution that employs some kind of database that stores mail for long term? id rather not turn on leave a copy on the server as this has shown to give poorer and poorer performance over time for me. People normally take backups of their machines in order to protect against losing files, including your email. You should be using IMAP instead of POP3 if you want your email to reside on the server efficiently. In fact you would want to use maildir format instead of mbox format for your mailbox. That you use imap or pop3 is of little relevance on the speed. Format of the mailbox is though. In standard mbox format you have to open and manipulate one single huge file, that keeps growing bigger and bigger. Browsing that file to find the new/unseen messages can take several tens of second when your mailbox gets too big. In maildir format, you manipulates one file per message, new messages being in a different directory from the seen messages. That makes the file manipulation much faster. Of course you can make tape archive of your mailbox (easier to archive maildir format though as there is not risk of concurent access to a message file). And you can use procmail or the like to duplicate the message in a file on your server.

FreeBSD Security Survey
Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the presence of vulnerabilities. The Security Team has been concerned for some time by anecdotal reports concerning the number of FreeBSD systems which are not being promptly updated or are running FreeBSD releases which have passed their End of Life dates and are no longer supported. In order to better understand which FreeBSD versions are in use, how people are (or aren't) keeping them updated, and why it seems so many systems are not being updated, I have put together a short survey of 12 questions. The information gathered will inform the work done by the Security Team, as well as my own personal work on FreeBSD this summer. If you administrate system(s) running FreeBSD (in the broad sense of are responsible for keeping system(s) secure and up to date), please visit http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/survey.html and complete the survey below before May 31st, 2006.
