Re: Enabling sound?
I don't get the pcm0 lines that section 7.2.2 in the manual talks about. cat /dev/sndstat returns: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: and nothing else. The driver isn't attached to the device, either because the pci id's don't match or the card isn't using an emu10k* chip. Please type pciconf -l -v and reply with the portion that matches the card. kldload snd_emu10k1 yields no output whatsoever. When followed by cat /dev/sndstat it produces the same outputs as above. kld_load snd_driver yields: ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x20 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled ppc0: parallel port not found. sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: port may not be enabled This is because snd_driver kldload's EVERY known sound driver, including ones for ISA. Hence the use in the handbook of only using it to find the driver for your card. (Blind probing ISA is a quick way to crash an older machine) I recompiled with the sound and emu10k1 drivers commented out, and the kldload and cat /dev/sndstat commands still yield the same. compiling the kernel with those options is almost exactly the same as kldloading it after it boots. I need to get sound enabled on this box, so I can do some online training provided through streaming video. Please, please, please tell me I don't have to break down and install wankers on this thing ... pciconf -l -v will be the best bet, at least you'll have a better idea of what you're dealing with. isab0: PCI-ISA bridge at device 10.0 on pci0 . . . pci3: multimedia, audio at device 10.0 (no driver attached) IIRC, and I'm really not 100%, that the older emu10k1 cards used a pci-isa bridge to the actual device (I'm away from my machine with a working one of those cards, so I can't confirm that's normal, though I recall seeing that in dmesg). I've re-compiled my kernel yet again to remove the sio device, since this thing has no 8250 or 16[45]50 serial ports on it, which got rid of the error messages in dmesg I was seeing about the port not being enabled and the IRQ not mapping. It also has no parallel port on it -- can I remove the ppc, ppbus, lpt, plip, and ppi devices without breaking anything else? NO, you can't remove ppbus in 6.1 or any previous versions I've tried. And it's a quick way to kernel panic on boot (the note in the GENERIC kernel comments agrees with me, it IS required for i386 at least for now). The only peripheral ports this thing has on it are USB2. I'm pretty much stuck with a custom kernel on this machine, since the wireless network I'm on requires WEP, and the wlan_wep module would need to be loaded by hand if I went with the generic kernel and module loading ... which would also mean hand-starting dhcpclient and ifconfig, since both will fail at boot-time without wlan_wep. All the wireless stuff works just fine with ath, ath_hal, ath_rate_sample, wlan, and wlan_wep compiled into the kernel. You don't really need to do this, though it's irrelevant to the problem at hand. You can use/boot/loader.conf can load ko's at boot time before the kernel is loaded, /boot/defaults/loader.conf has examples at the bottom. typically it's module_load=YES You can also add a shell script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that will load it and add a tunable in rc.conf that will enable/disable wireless on boot, just add a BEFORE: netif line. Use rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* to make sure your script is before netif (this will make sure the drivers are loaded before dhclient and everything else). The only thing I can't seem to get working is this blasted sound card. I wouldn't even worry about it if I didn't have to do this stupid flash based video training crap (why can't they just send me TFM so I can R it?!?). *sigh* I hope this helps, if you understand C and how pci works you can use the pci id output that pciconf provides and modify the #define EMU10K1_PCI_ID 0x00021102 line in /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.c to match it, this will force the driver to try to bind to the card. This may not work, it's not supported, and definately DON'T link the driver to the kernel (ie, don't add a device snd_emu10k1 line to the kernel config) in the off chance it causes
DHCPd Will Not Listen on the Correct Interface
Hello, everybody. I have a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a machine with several NICs, and I need to run different DHCP servers for different subnets on different NICs. I installed isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4_2 from ports with the default options enabled (of importance: DHCP_PARANOIA and DHCP_JAIL). These are the interfaces I need to run DHCPd on: fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::2d0:b7ff:fee1:620f%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 172.16.2.9 netmask 0xfc00 broadcast 172.16.3.255 ether 00:d0:b7:e1:62:0f media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::250:baff:fed1:a75a%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xfc00 broadcast 10.0.3.255 ether 00:50:ba:d1:a7:5a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active According to the man page, dhcpd takes as a last argument the interface it should bind to.

Re: Upgrade PHP
mamrg wrote: Hi, First of all my apologies for the lame question, but i have this FreeBSD server in which i have to upgrade PHP from 4 to 5. I've read about the ports, but got a little confused. Can you tell me please how can i make the update ? Hmmm... this will take a little more effort than is usual when dealing with the ports. But not a huge amount more. First, identify all of the ports that use php -- you want anything that is a dependency of the core lang/php4 port. You need a command something like the following, except you will have to alter the version number to match what you have installed: % pkg_info -R php4-4.X.Y Something like this: % pkg_info -R php4-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-4.4.2_1: Required by: oscommerce-2.2r2 pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 php4-bz2-4.4.2_1 php4-gd-4.4.2_1 php4-mbstring-4.4.2_1 php4-mcrypt-4.4.2_1 php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 php4-pcre-4.4.2_1 php4-session-4.4.2_1 php4-zlib-4.4.2_1 phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 This will get you the right list of ports to deal with. Now, you need to replace each of those ports called 'php4-something' with the equivalent 'php5-something' port. You need to do the base php port first: % cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 % make config (Note: make sure 'Apache' is checked here) % portupgrade -f -o lang/php5 php4-4.4.2_1 Remember to tweak that version number to match what is on your own system. After you've done that, there should be a file /usr/local/etc/php.conf that contains the following: % cat /usr/local/etc/php.conf PHP_VER=5 PHP_VERSION=5.1.4 PHP_SAPI=cli cgi mod Now go ahead and replace all of the php4 modules with their php5 equivalents. You need to find the origin of each php4 module, and then translate it into the php5 equivalent. eg: % pkg_info -o php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-mysql-4.4.2_1: Origin: databases/php4-mysql % portupgrade -o databases/php5-mysql php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Do that for each of the php4-something modules. Next, and somewhat optionally, reinstall all of the PECL libraries and PHP applications you've installed. ie. anything on that list of dependencies without the php4- prefix. This isn't strictly necessary for anything that is pure PHP code and that involves no compiled stuff, but it shouldn't hurt. eg: % portupgrade -f pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 % portupgrade -f phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 % portupgrade -f oscommerce-2.2r2 Is it necessary to mess with Apache too ? Yes. You should stop apache before starting on this whole exercise, obviously. Before you fire it up again, you need to make sure that it is loading the PHP5 module rather than the PHP4 one. Check for lines like this in the apache config files: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so (Again, mutatis mutandem depending on the version of Apache you're running) The Apache config files may well be automagically edited for you, but the 'LoadModule' line could well have been put in commented out, which you'll want to uncomment. Then fire up Apache and test, test, test until you're sure everything is working OK.

Areca RAID Card.
The motherboard I just bought, SuperMicro X7DBE, has both PCI-X 133MHz/64-bit and PCI-Express 8x slots, I can't decide what version of the Areca card to get... I'd like to see some benchmarks of the ARC-11xx (PCI-X) Vs. the ARC-12xx (PCI-Express). The PCIe device has a faster bus (PCIe 8x = 2000MB/s) but PCI-X is tried and true and not too shabby (PCI-X 133/64 = 850MB/s) ether. I have the option of ether a 1130ML (Infiniband connections) or a plan jane 1230. I've had troubles with SATA cables in the passed so the 1130ML is very desirable from this stand point. Another thing I'm worried about is the 1230 will have to much weight on the PCIe 8x slot because of all the SATA cables. and routing them all is a pain. Does anyone have a source for an ARC-1230ML? On the other hand I've never tried the latching SATA cables yet... but the ARC-1130 is $40 cheaper... I'll sleep on it for now...

What FreeBSD users really want
To Whom It May Concern: Greeting from Australia I commend your efforts and your success. Following are some gripes with FreeBSD and ideas to fix them. I have been using FreeBSD for a few years. I have also played with lots of Linux distributions but still FreeBSD is my first choice as a computer system admin and backend web developer. But you know what pisses me off about FreeBSD? It is the little things. Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're still dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD. Here is what I would fix: 1.Reinvent the installer and interface. Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane. There is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on FreeBSD. Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular and ugly programming language in the world. It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as their O.S of their choice because of PHP. 3.Content Management Website Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for anyone visiting your site for the first time. There are outstanding open source CMS like Joomla, Mambo, eZ Publish, Drupel just to name a few out there that let you build a very quick and professional website in no times Don't get me wrong, I love FreeBSD and I always remain loyal to it. I love the unique port collection concept for third party application installation. Thanks I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: What FreeBSD users really want
Hello Sammy, It is really nice that you have told us yourt insight on the matter. I would also like to express my ideas. Please read my replies inline. On 7/22/06, sammy sumer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're still dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD. This is not correct. The only distros which are working hard to get the interface more friendly are thoes which has some kind of earning. Just for example, if you check slackware, they still have a barebones interface. Secondly FreeBSD community only looks after the base tree. And as per my knowledge, the interface is something external. Here is what I would fix: 1.Reinvent the installer and interface. This is not a bad idea. But again is that really worth the trouble. The existing interface works perfectly. So why fix something which is not broken. BTW, by reinventing if you mean to say that make the installer go graphical, then there is a small problem. You are making the installer more heavy which really has no value. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. This would be a very good idea if you have something call FreeBSD-Web_Edition which is not the case. FreeBSD hosts all kinds of services. Therefore the more things u put in stock OS, there would be more points of failure. BTW why do you feel that the existing port system is not adequate? PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on FreeBSD. Perl is no less popular. Specially Perl had been around far longer than PHP. But FBSD does not have perl in stock installations either. Primarrily for the idea of Keep It Simple. Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular and ugly programming language in the world. It may be ugly, but its a really fast way to implement small operations. And FYI, we system admins swear by shell scripts. It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as their O.S of their choice because of PHP. Do you have this documented? 3.Content Management Website Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for anyone visiting your site for the first time. Well we recently got the website look changed. Did you like the earlier view? Would you please tell us what you mean by ordinary and what kind of website would be more acceptable to people in generaly. Please consider the fact that sometimes all you have is a text based browser to refer to the handbook when you are stuck up in the middle of an installation. So please provide your comments considering the same. Don't get me wrong, I love FreeBSD and I always remain loyal to it. I love the unique port collection concept for third party application installation. Of course not. The biggest asset of FreeBSD is its users.

There might be licence issues that prevents it from being included in base. And it drags the development down. You've got to understand how the FreeBSD development differs from that of Linux. The linux distros pull in a lot of stuff from everywhere and make that a distro - there is no such thing as a base system. Then some install php by default. In FreeBSD there is a complete system, base, maintained by the FreeBSD development team. Adding more stuff to base means that development will slow as there is more code to be maintained and checked before a new release can be made. And there is no benefit - just install from ports.

It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as their O.S of their choice because of PHP. Read above - just install php from ports and you're done! csh and sh included in base are essential and sufficient to get basic stuff done at startup, you want to make sure that the system at boot depends on as little complexity as possible, this allows you always to get the basic system up so you can resolve any problems. Running core system scripts in a third party language is insane. Even bash is not in base. Perl was removed from base. Keep the system clean and you will have it reliable. Then add all the other stuff on top. 3.Content Management Website Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for anyone visiting your site for the first time.

Why? Installing FreeBSD from CD only takes about 15 minutes on a modern machine. Faster if you do a minimal install.

Re: Upgrade PHP
On 7/22/06, Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: mamrg wrote: Hi, First of all my apologies for the lame question, but i have this FreeBSD server in which i have to upgrade PHP from 4 to 5. I've read about the ports, but got a little confused. Can you tell me please how can i make the update ? Hmmm... this will take a little more effort than is usual when dealing with the ports. But not a huge amount more. First, identify all of the ports that use php -- you want anything that is a dependency of the core lang/php4 port. You need a command something like the following, except you will have to alter the version number to match what you have installed: % pkg_info -R php4-4.X.Y Something like this: % pkg_info -R php4-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-4.4.2_1: Required by: oscommerce-2.2r2 pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 php4-bz2-4.4.2_1 php4-gd-4.4.2_1 php4-mbstring-4.4.2_1 php4-mcrypt-4.4.2_1 php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 php4-pcre-4.4.2_1 php4-session-4.4.2_1 php4-zlib-4.4.2_1 phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 This will get you the right list of ports to deal with. Now, you need to replace each of those ports called 'php4-something' with the equivalent 'php5-something' port. You need to do the base php port first: % cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 % make config (Note: make sure 'Apache' is checked here) % portupgrade -f -o lang/php5 php4-4.4.2_1 Remember to tweak that version number to match what is on your own system. After you've done that, there should be a file /usr/local/etc/php.conf that contains the following: % cat /usr/local/etc/php.conf PHP_VER=5 PHP_VERSION=5.1.4 PHP_SAPI=cli cgi mod Now go ahead and replace all of the php4 modules with their php5 equivalents. You need to find the origin of each php4 module, and then translate it into the php5 equivalent. eg: % pkg_info -o php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Information for php4-mysql-4.4.2_1: Origin: databases/php4-mysql % portupgrade -o databases/php5-mysql php4-mysql-4.4.2_1 Do that for each of the php4-something modules. Next, and somewhat optionally, reinstall all of the PECL libraries and PHP applications you've installed. ie. anything on that list of dependencies without the php4- prefix. This isn't strictly necessary for anything that is pure PHP code and that involves no compiled stuff, but it shouldn't hurt. eg: % portupgrade -f pecl-pdflib-2.0.4 % portupgrade -f phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 % portupgrade -f oscommerce-2.2r2 Is it necessary to mess with Apache too ? Yes. You should stop apache before starting on this whole exercise, obviously. Before you fire it up again, you need to make sure that it is loading the PHP5 module rather than the PHP4 one. Check for lines like this in the apache config files: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so (Again, mutatis mutandem depending on the version of Apache you're running) The Apache config files may well be automagically edited for you, but the 'LoadModule' line could well have been put in commented out, which you'll want to uncomment. Then fire up Apache and test, test, test until you're sure everything is working OK. or you can have both php4 and php5 in your box. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation. To my experience, especially with application installation, linux has still yet to approach FreeBSD, let along Windows in this manner. As for the OS installer, ok, it's not pretty to look at, and it's far from perfect (fdisk needs a lot of work for one - it has issues with some hardware, but it's well beyond my skill level to work on sadly). As for the disk imaging technology... Do you have _any_ clue about what goes into installing an OS? To my knowledge, no variant of Linux, Windows, etc. uses disk imaging technology. There is a very good reason for this - it doesn't allow for a lot of necessary customisation without a lot of extra complication in the installer. However, while a GUI installer would be nice, as stated to me in a previous email, a lot of people know this would be useful, but the manpower required for such a project is immense compared to what is available from people with the required skills. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

I know there is a CLI interpereter, but that's different). Regardless, if it's in ports (which it probably is if there is such a thing), then just install it, not very difficult at all. Also, PHP is extremely large and slow compared to things like CSH and BASH. Thus, if only one is being chosen, PHP would be a pretty low choice: the idea of BSD is to start with something relatively minimal and build it up to what you need, so you aren't stuck with excess clutter you don't need, as you often see in most other operating systems.

Re: What FreeBSD users really want
On 22/07/06, sammy sumer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To Whom It May Concern: 1.Reinvent the installer and interface. Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane. There is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation. One thing I would say is that FreeBSD installs a complete operating system far faster than any other OS out there. This does matter to some people, though not everyone. A few years ago I was new to FreeBSD (and UNIX/Linux in general) and I went through the installation. The only thing that caught me out was adding a user (me) but not putting myself in the wheel group. After the installation completed I removed the monitor and plugged it back into my usual desktop machine. I could SSH in but not su. It really was the only thing that caught me out. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on FreeBSD. Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular and ugly programming language in the world. It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as their O.S of their choice because of PHP Would that be PHP and all its associated modules from the base install? That's big, and for many people unnecessary. Why would I need it for my (10) mail servers. It wouldn't serve any purpose. Also PHP syntax is not consistent. Take a look here: http://tnx.nl/php. sh scripting is a low level standard across other Unices. The only thing I wish I had learned so much sooner was set autolist in my .cshrc. I didn't know it was there, and I have no idea why it is not in the default dot.cshrc file. No doubt good reasons, but I got by for months before I found this out.

What I would like to see, or How many FreeBSD boxen are out there?
On various lists, including this one, there is talk about how to we make hardware vendors sit up and take more notice of us ... alot of the negative responses back seem to be 'we are too small of a group', but, of couse, nobody out there can really give any even *reasonable* numbers of desktops and servers deployed with FreeBSD ... What I'd love to see is a *project initiated* (or FreeBSD Foundation) FreeBSD reporting mechanism similar to: http://www.mreriksson.net/uptimes/myuptimes Something just for FreeBSD users (well, all *BSD users should be invited) ... uptime not being the really big thing here, but stuff like version of FreeBSD being run, country being run in, maybe have it part dmesg on startup and report devices in use, etc ... Come up with reports like # of hosts using fxp vs em devices, etc ... although it may be a bit more difficult, I don't know, but report on specific hardware being used ... Statistics that either Core, or the FreeBSD Foundation, can use to show vendors they are talking to about what is currently in use ... but also to show developers themselves what device drivers are actually in use, that sort of thing ... Nothing that I'd think would be 'sensitive information', but information that would be useful from either a marketing, or support, point of view ... And market / promote it ... Basically, unless I'm mistaken, right now we have *nothing* to base numbers on, except maybe the netcraft report(s)? ... but, that only includes hosts running web servers ... how many are running firewalls? desktops? mail servers? etc ... We need to show vendors we aren't some hobbiest group, and towards that end, producing some sort of up to date #s would really help, I would think ... show them we are a market worth looking at ...

Slow Write Performance on 3ware controller

I am getting very poor read/write performance on this array that I have set up (RAID5 - 64K stripe) Reading to the 2 mirrored drives that I have on a 3ware 7006-2 I can get 8MB/sec over samba which is what I expect. From the new array I am getting 4MB/sec. To rule out samba I did a file copy from one array to the other an averaged 3.8MB/sec which I assume is being limited by the new array. Any ideas where I can check to see if there are problems and what are the first steps / common things that people miss when adding drives. In short I... a) installed the drive b) disk partitioned using /stand/sysinstall c) labelled using the same d) edited /etc/drivetabthingy to mount the drive Anyone else have any other suggestions on what I can check?

ICH8 chipset support?
I just upgraded my machine at home to a Conroy-ready motherboard - An Asus P5B. This particular motherboard has the smallest fraction of recognized devices I think I've ever come across. From what I can tell, the blame can be placed squarely on the Intel ICH8 chipset that supplies almost all of the devices in the system. USB is working, though it is recognized only generically. The ICH8 SATA ports do not seem to work properly (thank goodness for the JMicro RAID controller - which can be used without RAID). The audio subsystem, SMB controller and the Realtek on-board Ethernet aren't recognized at all. There's an nVidia PCI Express graphics card in there too, but I probably won't even run X on this machine, much less 3D stuff. I'll attach the output from pciconf -l and the dmesg.boot.

Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane. There is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation. One thing I would say is that FreeBSD installs a complete operating system far faster than any other OS out there. This does matter to some people, though not everyone. A few years ago I was new to FreeBSD (and UNIX/Linux in general) and I went through the installation. The only thing that caught me out was adding a user (me) but not putting myself in the wheel group. After the installation completed I removed the monitor and plugged it back into my usual desktop machine. I could SSH in but not su. It really was the only thing that caught me out. 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system. PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on FreeBSD. Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular and ugly programming language in the world. It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as their O.S of their choice because of PHP Would that be PHP and all its associated modules from the base install? That's big, and for many people unnecessary. Why would I need it for my (10) mail servers. It wouldn't serve any purpose. Also PHP syntax is not consistent. Take a look here: http://tnx.nl/php. sh scripting is a low level standard across other Unices. The only thing I wish I had learned so much sooner was set autolist in my .cshrc. I didn't know it was there, and I have no idea why it is not in the default dot.cshrc file. No doubt good reasons, but I got by for months before I found this out. All that time I was going bash can do it, why can't csh?

Sysinstall and my tape conflic?
Hi people, i was installing FreeBSD 6-1, do the world stuff and all that process, normally went my system is runnig i no more use the sysinstall program. Im going to test bacula 1.38.11 with the tape HP storageworks 232. I was installing some ports that i going to test on this machine and i try to run sysinstall and the first window, the one that say is probing device never dissapear and my tape Ready Led start blinking, normally went bacula start working with the tape my first console receive 1 message: Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (ahc0:A:3:0): Sending PPR bus_width 1, period 9, offset 40, ppr_options 2 Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (ahc0:A:3:0): Received PPR width 1, period 9, offset 40,options 2 Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: Filtered to width 1, period 9, offset 40, options 2 Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:3:0): error 6 No problem because the programs works. I just receive this message 1 each day that bacula runs with no problem. But My console start receiving a lot of those message, after a couple of minutes my tape request me the tape cleaner. I just turn off and on again and dissapear. But the sysinstall never let the probing device screen. I turn off the tape and try again but the same problem, never jump to the next screen, i was thinking that just with the 6.1-p3 version, i change my HD to the one i have in production running 5.4-p16, but i get same behaviour like say normally went i setup my OS never use the sysinstall program. I can live without that boy, but this behaviour is not normall to me. Any info about this...?

I've gotten a fair share of SPAM through the years, but never has it corrupted my mailbox. Maybe my mail delivery agent (qmail) is doing something clever. I wouldn't know. However, I have had troubles with locking, and different processes (eg, qmail, pine, home brewed filters, etc) trying to write to the same file at the same time. In what way are your mailbox corrupt? Could you pass it through formail, and split in individual messages? Your MUA og POP3 server should care less in you flip bits in in the message bodies, or even headers, as long as there's no control char or other stuff like that in there. Maybe the From-lines are broken? I think I'd try to split the file at lines starting with From (notice the space and lack of colon : after From). All the resulting files should be valid mailboxes.

At least the return was easy; I just took the box to my local Walmart and they accepted it and then put the correct credit on my credit card. Then, I went to Frys.

We need to show vendors we aren't some hobbiest group, and towards that end, producing some sort of up to date #s would really help, I would think ... show them we are a market worth looking at ... why not make something similar to the linux counter, and let users register and have their registration number. The point of the link I sent above, or other similar systems, is that its relatively self-maintaining ... you register a server/desktop with the system, as being 'owned' by you, and run a small client that polls the system periodically ... If the server gets taken offline, it automatically gets marked as being an inactive host ... I don't know how linux counter works, but any system where someone has to go to a web site to remove a host if it gets taken offline is inherently flawed from the started since a) what stops ppl from just adding hosts with nothing to back them? and b) most of us are too lazy to bother going to mark as being 'offline' Marc G.

How I setup a dual-boot PC?
FreeBSD people, I'm trying to figure out how to setup dual boot on my PC. The PC has a 250G drive. Currently, when I boot, I see this menu on the console: F1 DOS F2 DOS F3 FreeBSD F4 FreeBSD F1 I avoid; The factory put an XP thingee there. F2 works well, when I pick it, the box boots with XP. F3 works well, when I pick it, the box boots with FreeBSD 5.5 F4 does not work; I want it to boot FreeBSD 6.1 So I did the obvious thing. I got a 6.1 installation CD and walked through the install. During the install, I asked that /dev/ad8s4d be mounted as /. But when I am given the F1,2,3,4 boot menu, and when I pick F4, I see this error: F4 Invalid partition No /boot/loader FreeBSD / i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: Can any of you give me any tips on how to make /dev/ad8s4d bootable? Or can you give me an understanding about how I can tell the ' boot: ' prompt that I want to boot off of /dev/ad8s4d BTW.. After I boot 5.5, I'm able to mount the partition I want to boot from. So, I mounted it as /root61 I see this: df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad8s3a 91913630 20140014 6442052624%/ /dev/ad8s4d 94132520 1077196 85524724 1%/root61 devfs 110 100%/dev linprocfs 440 100%/usr/compat/linux/proc When I look in /root61, I see this: moibsd# ls -la /root61/boot/kernel/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6687708 May 6 21:42 /root61/boot/kernel/kernel moibsd# ls -la /root61 total 56 drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:32 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root wheel 1024 Jul 22 13:55 .. -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 801 May 6 21:00 .cshrc -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 251 May 6 21:00 .profile drwxrwxr-x 2 root operator 512 Jul 21 18:29 .snap -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6187 May 6 21:00 COPYRIGHT drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Jul 21 18:29 bin drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:32 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 cdrom1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Jul 21 18:32 compat - usr/compat drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 dist drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 2048 Jul 21 18:35 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 1024 Jul 21 18:29 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 libexec drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 6 20:54 mnt dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 6 20:54 proc drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2560 Jul 21 18:29 rescue drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:29 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2560 Jul 21 18:29 sbin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 11 Jul 21 18:29 sys - usr/src/sys drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 May 6 20:54 tmp drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:32 usr drwxr-xr-x 22 root wheel 512 Jul 21 18:32 var moibsd# Thanks, -Dan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there a piece of sound hardware I can just run down to CompUSA and buy, that I can drop in here and get this thing working with *today*? Newer Audigy's use a completely different DSP chip then the older SoundBlasters. The SoundBlaster brand is so vague now with regard to the actual chips that it's misleading. The el cheapo CompUSA brand card is iirc a very old and generic chip, it's not the best quality wise but when I bought them months ago they seemed to work with everything I threw at them. In all honesty I don't remember testing them with FreeBSD, but it works out of the box with BeOS R5, so I'd assume FreeBSD comes with the driver. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to see some benchmarks of the ARC-11xx (PCI-X) Vs. the ARC-12xx (PCI-Express). The PCIe device has a faster bus (PCIe 8x = 2000MB/s) but PCI-X is tried and true and not too shabby (PCI-X 133/64 = 850MB/s) ether. I have the option of ether a 1130ML (Infiniband connections) or a plan jane 1230. I've had troubles with SATA cables in the passed so the 1130ML is very desirable from this stand point. Another thing I'm worried about is the 1230 will have to much weight on the PCIe 8x slot because of all the SATA cables. and routing them all is a pain. Does anyone have a source for an ARC-1230ML? On the other hand I've never tried the latching SATA cables yet... but the ARC-1130 is $40 cheaper... I was just looking at the difference between the 1130 and the 1130ML. ML cables are EXPENSIVE and look heavier than 4 normal cables... But they latch on and you only need 1 ML cable for every 4 SATA cables. The PCI-X card/slot should be sturdy enough but I don't think PCIe is, I've played with PCIe 1x cards and their super small... picture a normal low profile PCI card, now take half that. Maybe they don't make them (ARC-12xxML) for this reason. I just ordered an 1120 from http://www.topmicrousa.com/controllers-- tekram.html and they were the cheapest I've seen. Will be needing an 1130 myself soon I think. Can't help you with the 1130 vs 1230. I would think the PCIe would be the way to go for future proofing your investment. Yes I think your right here. If you look at the ATTO STRs and cache transfer rates[1] the ARC-1120 (PCI-X) is up against the bus limit. theoretically the 1120/1220 could do up to 2400MB/s (8 drives * SATA-II transfer limit of 300MB/s). The results of the Areca ARC-1120 in the RAID 0 tests cleary show this adapter does not have any trouble with ATTO's tiny dataset. Floating high above the crowd, the ARC-1120 has a perfect view on the struggles of the other adapters. Exceeding 750MB/s, the transfer rates from the Areca ARC-1120 are almost equal to the effective bandwidth of the 133MHz PCI-X bus.

strange reboot on FreeBSD 6.1
Hello, I have a machine that I've been monitoring for strange reboots. The machine is hardly ever used, in fact it sits idle 99.9% of the time. When a hardware failure occurs, does FreeBSD still records 'reboot' in the last command ? All the sudden at no specific intervals, the machine reboots. No user logins, no access, nothing triggers it. Just a reboot. This is what /var/log/all.log says: Jul 20 17:35:00 freebsd /usr/sbin/cron[27682]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Jul 20 17:35:00 freebsd /usr/sbin/cron[27683]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/cpanel/bin/dcpumon /dev/null 21) Jul 20 17:35:02 freebsd kernel: arplookup 66.249.129.65 failed: host is not on local network Jul 20 17:35:02 freebsd last message repeated 4 times Jul 20 17:40:00 freebsd /usr/sbin/cron[27697]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Jul 20 17:40:00 freebsd /usr/sbin/cron[27698]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/cpanel/bin/dcpumon /dev/null 21) Jul 20 17:45:19 freebsd syslogd: restart Jul 20 17:45:19 freebsd syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/apache/logs]# last -n 42 mcuserttyp0ip.ip.ip.ipThu Jul 20 19:07 still logged in reboot ~ Thu Jul 20 17:45 mcuserttyp0ip.ip.ip.ip Sat Jul 15 18:27 - 19:22 (00:55) Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 146 (1992.34-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = AuthenticAMD Id = 0xf58 Stepping = 8 Features=0x78bfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2 AMD Features=0xe0500800SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,LM,3DNow+,3DNow real memory = 1073676288 (1023 MB) avail memory = 1041735680 (993 MB) MADT: Forcing active-low polarity and level trigger for SCI ioapic0 Version 1.1 irqs 0-23 on motherboard ioapic1 Version 1.1 irqs 24-27 on motherboard ioapic2 Version 1.1 irqs 28-31 on motherboard kbd1 at kbdmux0 acpi0: A M I OEMRSDT on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: 24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz port 0x5008-0x500b on acpi0 cpu0: ACPI CPU on acpi0 acpi_throttle0: ACPI CPU Throttling on cpu0 pcib0: ACPI Host-PCI bridge port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: ACPI PCI bus on pcib0 pcib1: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge at device 6.0 on pci0 pci3: ACPI PCI bus on pcib1 ohci0: OHCI (generic) USB controller mem 0xfeafc000-0xfeafcfff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci3 ohci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support usb0: SMM does not respond, resetting usb0: OHCI (generic) USB controller on ohci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: AMD OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 3 ports with 3 removable, self powered Thx, Tamouh Hakmi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to see some benchmarks of the ARC-11xx (PCI-X) Vs. the ARC-12xx (PCI-Express). The PCIe device has a faster bus (PCIe 8x = 2000MB/s) but PCI-X is tried and true and not too shabby (PCI-X 133/64 = 850MB/s) ether. I have the option of ether a 1130ML (Infiniband connections) or a plan jane 1230. I've had troubles with SATA cables in the passed so the 1130ML is very desirable from this stand point. Another thing I'm worried about is the 1230 will have to much weight on the PCIe 8x slot because of all the SATA cables. and routing them all is a pain. Does anyone have a source for an ARC-1230ML? On the other hand I've never tried the latching SATA cables yet... but the ARC-1130 is $40 cheaper... I was just looking at the difference between the 1130 and the 1130ML. ML cables are EXPENSIVE and look heavier than 4 normal cables... But they latch on and you only need 1 ML cable for every 4 SATA cables. The PCI-X card/slot should be sturdy enough but I don't think PCIe is, I've played with PCIe 1x cards and their super small... picture a normal low profile PCI card, now take half that. Maybe they don't make them (ARC-12xxML) for this reason. I just ordered an 1120 from http://www.topmicrousa.com/controllers-- tekram.html and they were the cheapest I've seen. Will be needing an 1130 myself soon I think. Can't help you with the 1130 vs 1230. I would think the PCIe would be the way to go for future proofing your investment. Yes I think your right here. If you look at the ATTO STRs and cache transfer rates[1] the ARC-1120 (PCI-X) is up against the bus limit. theoretically the 1120/1220 could do up to 2400MB/s (8 drives * SATA-II transfer limit of 300MB/s). The results of the Areca ARC-1120 in the RAID 0 tests cleary show this adapter does not have any trouble with ATTO's tiny dataset. Floating high above the crowd, the ARC-1120 has a perfect view on the struggles of the other adapters. Exceeding 750MB/s, the transfer rates from the Areca ARC-1120 are almost equal to the effective bandwidth of the 133MHz PCI-X bus. [1] [1] http://tweakers.net/reviews/557/18 The only difference between the ARC-11xx and the ARC-12xx's Intel XScale processor is the IOP333 on the ARC-12xx* has a PCI Express to PCI-X Bridge... Both chips are otherwise identical and both chips use PCI-X133 internally. Also it appears the IOP333's internal bus operates at 333MHz while the IOP331 operates at 266MHz but I can't confirm this, it's possible older IOP331's worked at 266MHz but new ones are 333MHz now. ftp://download.intel.com/design/iio/prodbref/25341301.pdf ftp://download.intel.com/design/iio/prodbref/30658301.pdf *The ARC-1210 uses a IOP332. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's capable of both imap as well as pop if you later want to add that and can do encrypted versions of those protocols as well. Dovecot is also in my opinion much easier to configure and less resource intensive than other imap servers. If i can be of any assistance let me know. Thanks. Dave. i second it, dovecot works great, try it. I'm not into starting a flaming session, but dovecot's indexing/caching capabilities are the only things that make it fast. Am I right? Well, it is also written in C. I came across a few posts[1][2], though they're old, saying that everything depends on e-mail clients as well. I'm responsible for 2 courier-imap in production and about to start working on a new one. This and previous threads regarding dovecot caught my attention and it sounds interesting. However, what good is there having indexes on IMAP server and on local machine? I realised that my Thunderbird keeps record of all my folders and their contents. So roughly I've got ~800MB of e-mails on IMAP and 12MB of indexes in Thunderbird's profile. Also, apparently Outlook 2003 caches absolutely everything. I've seen accounts with 2.9GB worth of e-mails on IMAP and generated outlook.pst as big as 950MB. Maybe dovecot's indexing features would be great in webmail environments? Maybe I just got lost somewhere. Any input would be highly appreciated. Cheers, Mikhail.
