Hello, My computer is powered by a 32 bits CPU. I want to run a progam which need datasize more than 3GB (may be the data should be temporary in a file (but I don't wrote this software ;-) . Does FreeBSD 6.1 can have a mechanism to do this? Other question: If I have less memory than 3G, is it possible to put the limit to 3G (~2.9 G, I need to check again the posts about this limit) whith swaping of course.

Re: Does QUOTA work for users not in /etc/password (ie. by UID?)
In the last episode (Aug 29), Philip Hallstrom said: I was looking at implementing QUOTA for a server, but all of our users are stored in a database (ftp/pop/imap authenticates against the db). They each have their own uid's though so the files are owned individually. I would think file system quotas would work for this, but from the docs I've read so far it doesn't say and all the various commands take a username as an argument, not a uid... So without actually trying it out, anyone know if quotas will work without matching /etc/passwd entries? Quotas work entirely by uid: the quota info is stored at an offset of uid*sizeof(struct dqblk) in quota.user. You can pass uids to edquota or any other quota tool. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: PHP5 and MySQL
So it seems that my ports collectionwas indeed out of date, even though I installed FreeBSD 6.1 only two weeks back. Lesson learnt: always update ports collection after installing FreeBSD. I am doing MySQL 5.0 instead of 5.1, I do not want a beta release, and I am comparing and doing an analysis against a propreitary DB. I have used MySQL in the past, and believe it is a better choice for our case. Thanks for all the help, esp Gerard, Matthew fbsd. I am going to try and build/install everything. If I run into problems again and I run out of everything, I will come back here. Thanks folks!

As root, run the following: portsnap fetch portsnap extract portsnap update The extract command will take awhile, but it only has to be run once. After this, anytime you want to update the ports tree you would simply run: portsnap fetch update The three commands I gave you will rebuild build your ports tree with the latest updates. Now, ,migrate to /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server and run: make install make clean If it complains about any other version being installed you will have to navigate to that directory and run make deinstall to remove it manually. Then return and run the above command again/ Next, navigate to the /usr/ports/lang/php5 directory and run make config Make sure that the Build Apache Module is checked Leave the others at there default settings. Make sure you do 'tab' to OK and hit return to save the settings. Now, enter: make install make clean When finished, everything should be running correctly.

I use the same port collections and always portupgrade the machines at the same time. So I'm quite sure it must have been some software packages that changed the suid bit. It's too much work to find out exactly which ones, given the fact it's not that important after all. If not, then your base Osiris database might contain already compromised software.

Wake on Lan stopped working soon after system upgrade
Hi there I recently upgraded my system from FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Sun Jul 30 15:12:34 NZST 2006 to FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #2: Mon Aug 7 19:20:35 NZST 2006 Somewhere along the way my Wake on Lan stopped working. I've tested my Wakeup system[1] - it is still wakes up my WinXP laptop but won't wake up my FreeBSD[2] box. After checking a few logs it seems I did manage to wake the system up remotely once once after 'make installkernel' and 'make installworld'. The only thing I've changed since then is an upgrade of ports[3]. I have noticed that when my FreeBSD box is shut down, the Ethernet lights are off. I have a feeling that previously the lights may have stayed on when the system was down(?) I've checked the bios[4] settings, it is still set to wake on lan. The LAN port[5] is built into the motherboard. I've had a bit of a look at the ACPI[6] settings in the kernel[7], but nothing's standing out, even after reading the acpi man page. I've tried booting with and without acpi, and always shutdown with shutdown -p.

case sensitive system user names postfix
Freebsd 6.1 running Postfix 2.3.2 --- Here is the problem: --- I only need this for sensitive unix accounts on the mail server. I have found the following method cuts spam enormously to such accounts BUT I having just moved to using Postfix dor the mailserver I do not know how to condigure postfix so that it works. Where for example the administrator may have the case sensitive user account of AdMiniStraTor. Hence only mail from correspondents who use a correct case formating in the TO address are the only senders whose mails are intended to get through to those unix accounts on the local machine. When postfix receives a mail correctly addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it tries to look up the user administrator and reports there is no such user and rejects the mail as user not found. Other mail mail accounts are addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and forwarded by carious methods and are not case sensitive. How can I configure Postfix to deal with this problem? Postfix is running on a separate host behind a firewall with all mail port requests being past through the firewall.

against that thing based on the number of problems it seems to
spawn due to people not understanding its behavior.)

Re: Deletar the /var partition and to create it with bigger size!
I always used sysinstall to create or to erase partitions of the FreeBSD. However I had difficulty to execute this task for problems of geometry of the disk. I would like to know through that command I can create or erase partitions of the FreeBSD. The SLICE I already to obtain to modify through the FDISK. First of all, you must have available empty space contiguous with the partition you wish to expand. If you do not have that, then you will have to start from scratch, or add another disk drive. You can use sysinstall to recreate partitions and modify slices as long as there is space available and as long as the drive or slice is not mounted and in use.(drive is you are modifying slices and slice if you are modifyine partitions) If you do not use sysinstall then fdisk is used to change slices. You may need to do it from a fixit disk because it is likely you will be modifying the FreeBSD slice that the system normally uses to boot. If you want to change a partition within a slice (namely the FreeBSD slice) you need to use bsdlabel(8). That creates and writes the slice's label and defines partitions. After using bsdlabel, you must use newfs(8) to create the file system on the newly created/modified partition. But, still, to add space to a partition, there must be free space - eg space that is not in a partition already - right next to the partition you want to expand. Alternatively, you do not specifically have to increase the /var partition. you can move some of its contents to another partition where there is sufficient free space (if such exists) and then create symbolic links to the new location[s]. Common candidated for such moving and linking are /var/spool, /var/log, /var/db and/or /var/mail. My habit is to have a large partition that contains home directories and other overflows.Typical mount point is /home. Then, I usually put /var/spool and /var/log there as directories named /home/var.spool and /home/var.log and link them back to the original names in /var. eg, after copying those directories over to /home/var.spool and /home/var.log respectively, I then rm the original /var/spool and /var/log and then create links. Actually, first I rename them, then do the link and check things before actually rm-ing the originals. Something like this: All must be done as root (and probably best in single user, but not required). cd /var use tar | tar or cp -Rp to make a new copy in /home cp -Rp spool /home/var.spool mv spool oldspool ln -s /home/var.spool spool cp -Rp log /home/var.log mv log oldlog ln -s /home/var.log log Check it all out to make sure it is just fine cd /var rm -rf oldspool rm -rf oldlog I like to use the naming convention of var.spool and var.log for the copies because it reminds me of where there come from. I a similar thing with /var/db in /var and with /uar/local, /usr/ports, and /usr/src in /usr Then those things which grow, sometimes unexpectedly can have room without me constantly monitoring them. It also makes backups more straightforward. Everything that is frequently changing is in /home. Of course, if you do not have a large directory with plenty of space available, then you may be looking to add some disk space. Good luck, jerry Thank you!

Re: UFS2 fsck Question (semantics of -p)
Can Sar wrote: [ ... ] Would you consider it an error if the -p option does not fix inconsistencies caused by a simple power failure, without any hardware or software corruption? You're asking an interesting question, but the issue of data integrity depends not only on the software which comprises the OS, but also on the hardware being used. In particular, the system depends upon the hard drives to reliably report when data being written actually has been; SCSI drives, using tagged command queuing, especially in conjunction with a battery-backup which ensures the drive stays up long enough to flush it's write cache even if system power is removed, will tend to fare pretty well. IDE drives, by contrast, have a bad habit of lying about whether data has actually been written to the disk itself rather than simply making it to the write cache on the drive. (Such drives ignore the ATA FLUSH CACHE command, specificly.) In other words, showing that a filesystem can become inconsistent in a fashion that fsck -p cannot correct is interesting and a concern regardless of the circumstances, but showing it in cases where you are using battery-backed drives and/or SCSI rather than IDE is a lot more meaningful. If you are using IDE devices, your testing will be more meaningful if you disable the IDE write-cache entirely. Also, you should put your results somewhere, perhaps on a webpage with links to the filesystem images and a complete dmesg so that the OS version and hardware being used is well-documented. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Migrating from 4.10-STABLE TO 6.1-STABLE questions
Hi: I'm in the process of doing a clean install on an older server that was running 4.10-STABLE to 6.1-STABLE.

How your m0n0wall is connected to the Internet? If it is behind a router that do NAT there shouldn't be any problem. If the m0n0wall is connected directly behind a modem this will be more problematic :P But as I understood your setup seems like : Router 192.168.0.0/24 m0n0wall 192.168.1.0/24 LAN (Clients) There is no problem to set your box act like this you just have to put a static route on the DSL router itself or perform outgoing NAT for your clients. Laurie Zimmerman a écrit : Hi, I have a client who would like to share a DSL connection with a neighboring office. I would like to put my clients network (they only need to share Internet) on a separate IP (192.168.1.x) network behind a monowall. My question is, will monowall allow a private address (the LAN IP of DSL router, 192.168.0.x) to be its WAN address? Do you see any routing issues with this?

6.1 crashing, no vm dump
I'm not much on posting mystery stuff for people to try to solve, but I'm at the end of my rope with this one. I have a box that's been pretty stable until very recently, and I don't know if I may have missed something important that was posted somewhere about a problem, or what. I can reproduce crashes with this system through disk activity though. Example situation: I'm downloading an ISO @ 300+ K/s, and ftp a 3 gig file from this system to another system on my LAN at the same time. It will simply reboot. No error message, nothing in the logs, it just reboots.

Any issue having multiple sound cards running at the same time in 6.1?
Hi all - I've got a freebsd server in the garage that has a low end soundblaster (I think) card in it that I've been using to play music. Works just fine. We moved and now I'd like to be able to have different music play in different rooms (living, family, and outside). I can do all the other wiring for speakers... But was wondering if there are any problems having three sound cards in the box and have them all work at the same time. I'm currently using flac123 to play music and would probably continue to do so...

Monitor display problem
I recently acquired a newer box to hold my server. I was using a PII 300MHz with 64MB RAM. The new box has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ with 239MB (?) RAM and what seems most pertinent, an S3 ProSavage DDR (86c420) graphics chip. When I first tried configuring X I discovered that when I tried to exit x-windows the machine would hang. When I hit the reset button my monitor showed a brief message, signal outside frequency range (which might very well be normal behavior). Eventually I got xorg working at a pleasant 1024x768 size, a great relief after the 640x480 I was limited to before, but I still have the problem that when I try to exit the x-server the machine hangs. It happens regardless of whether I use fvwm's exit command or hit CtlAltBackspace. Checking my xorg.conf file I find that none of the optional commands are uncommented, and I started to remember years ago when I had to enable one of the options (something to do with using the software cursor) to get XFree86 to work -- I think that machine had an S3 card, but it might have been SiS. Anyway, I noticed that when I came in to work one morning, the pilot light on the monitor was blinkiing. No graphics signal to the monitor. Moved the mouse, hit the Alt key, hit other keys, no help. So I rebooted by hitting the reset button. Everything seemed to work fine. Now, I usually don't work at the console -- even though my regular working (MS Win 2000 Pro) is right next to it, it's usually easier just to use PuTTY to make an SSH connection, so I didn't notice for some time that the monitor light was blinking again. I've tried the Bsd Google search engine, but can't seem to find a similar problem. I've wondered whether I should add the VESA option to my configuration file and rebuild the kernel. Can anyone offer suggestions -- possibly I just need to set something in vidcontrol? -- Roger ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried switching to your syntax (taking out the -0 and putting in root but I get the same results... James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.

The / file system has no errors and is fine... Replying to my own post...I've since tried stopping and restarting rpcbind, nfsd and mountd on the NFS server...I tried binding rpcbind and nfsd to the main IP address of that server (it has multiple). Now, I get the errors for all file system but root and can only mount the remote root file system, not /usr, /var or /home. I killed portsentry on both client and server before starting, since I noticed rpcbind was complaining about an address already in use (it went away after I killed portsentry and restarted it all). What really makes no sense is that it is functioning partly...the root fs mounts fine.../usr and /var did earlier, but no longer do. It makes no sense to me. James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.

question about network setup

I'm behind router. Cable modem - Router - pc's. Basic home setup. I set up apache and want to figure out how is it possible for me to use external ip to connect to my server? I can access the server via internal ip people can access it via my external, but for me doesnt show up. I know this configuration has to do with my network, rather than apache, or at least main configuration of my network and probably some tweaking with apacheWell, if possible, some replies would be appreciated.
