That's because you've made 'wheel' the primary group for that
user, which is probably not exactly what you intended.

The primary group is defined in /etc/master.passwd -- the gid
number is put into the third field.  Eg: consider the standard
system user bin:

happy-idiot-talk:~:% id bin
uid=3(bin) gid=7(bin) groups=7(bin)
happy-idiot-talk:~:% pw group show bin
bin:*:7:
happy-idiot-talk:~:% pw user show bin
bin:*:3:7::0:0:Binaries Commands and Source:/:/usr/sbin/nologin
^
^

No UIDs are listed as members of group bin in /etc/group, but the
bin user has bin as their primary group deom the password file.

adduser probably does the common trick of creating a user and a group
of the same name -- in fact, pw(8) will also do precisely that unless
you specify a primary group using the '-g' flag.  Use the '-G' flag
instead to specify other groups for the user to belong to.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: X server remote login and sound

2006-12-22 Thread Christian Walther

I'm not sure if sending uncompressed audio data over the network is
such a good idea. I know that it works, but what actually happens is
that you use a Windows machine to connect to a FreeBSD machine, just
to send audio signals back to the Windows host (including all the
graphics stuff required to display the applications windows).
I'd recommend installing sshd for Xming (if it is available, I'm not
familiar with Xming). Install xmms for Xming, too.
Know, start your X session as usual, and afterwards ssh (back) to your
Xming host. Launch XMMS...
What happens is that xmms runs on the Xming machine completely (CPU
time is consumed to process audio files, these are sent to the local
sound device).

Browser Plugins - State of the Art???

2006-12-22 Thread P.U.Kruppa

Hi,

I found out I need three plugins for opera, mozilla or whatever:

- Java Runtime Enviroment
- Linux Flash Player
- Linux Realplayer

JRE works nicely with native FreeBSD browsers,
the Linux plugins can be run with Linux Browsers.
(.pdf files can be viewed externally with Evince,
 linuxpluginwrapper doesn't do anything at all and I tried
 different kinds of Linux JRE's with Linux Browsers - no way)

Did anyone find a combination that can do all three plugins in 
one browser on FreeBSD 6.2 PRERELEASE?

Olivier,

I believe the only way to achieve this is to hack and recompile the
source.

In the source file cursor.c there is a function CheckForEmptyMask
within this function if you set bits-emptyMask = TRUE the cursor
won't appear.

Caveat: I did this myself, but it's couple of years ago now. Maybe
someone on this line has a more up-to-date method.

For FreeBSD-native FireFox and Seamonkey:

The FreeBSD native JDK 1.4 gives a working Java plugin.

For Flash with linuxpluginwrapper and linux-flashplugin7, you have to 
patch the system source:


Install the dlsym patch:

# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/
# fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
# patch  rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
# make
# make install

Link the library (linx-flashplugin7 should have already done this):

cd /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so .
ln -sf /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt .

And make sure your /etc/libmap.conf Flash7 section agrees with the 
sample included with the linuxpluginwrapper port.


mplayer is supposed to handle RealPlayer, although I can't say I've 
tested it.

low that the system stops responding.

Yeah.  The root account is special in many ways, and what you point
out is just one visible manifestation of that.  However I suspect
this is of no deeper significance than historical inertia -- something
that's been in BSD password and group files since the epoch or
thereabouts.

searched on Internet without results. 

I was wondering if anybody can provide me of the

Dell PERC5 (SAS 5) controller boot flr

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

2006-12-22 Thread Greg Lehey

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the
questions (the hackers).

   Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

2006-12-22 Thread Greg Lehey
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD.  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF
form.  Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to
download the entire book.  See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ 
for more information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

Re: My recent Epiphany about operating systems

2006-12-22 Thread Simon Chang

rant

snip

Folks,

I too had a recent epiphany about something that I wish to share with
you.  It's not about operating systems; it's about terabyte_pete, the
original poster who initiated this message.

Terabyte_pete, or Peter Daigle as some know him, has been trolling
several other mailing lists for a while (NetBSD, MozillaZine, etc.),
most recently with DragonFlyBSD.  He seems to be on a self-proclaimed
warpath to make open-source products to work the way Microsoft's
products work, and has a particularly soft spot for Windows 95.

Interestingly enough, if you take a look at his company's website (and
I use the word website rather loosely), www.neptuneholographics.com,
he claims that the site is powered by DragonFlyBSD and Wine.  It is
curious that, although his business runs on OSS, he finds it
entertaining to spew infantile verbal excrement at the very people who
help his business run.

If you are located anywhere close to Grover Beach, California, please
feel free to drop by his office and let him know how much we
appreciate his pseudo-intellectual analyses of operating systems.
His office is just off the 101, between 4th Street and Oak Park Blvd.

 Yes, that is a limitation of aliases.  Luckily, shell functions can do

Spamassassin error

I just set up spamassassin on one of my servers. Everything appears to be 
working properly, except I'm seeing this error in the maillog:

Dec 22 08:49:57 pinnacle spamd[25077]: spamd: could not create INET socket on

 is there a way to replicate the password files ?

 i doubt that just copying over /etc/passwd and master.passwd will work .
 
 Almost.   You just need to make sure database stuff is updated properly.
 Check out pwd_mkdb(8) and vipw(8) and man master.passwd and man passwd.

What options to netstat will tell me what protocols are listening on what ports?

2006-12-22 Thread Andrew Falanga

Hi,

In Linux, I would normally use 'netstat -tl' to see a listing of all
listening ports on the tcp protocol; however I'm not having as much luck in
determining what options I need for netstat in FreeBSD.  What are the
options that I need to use?

freebsd on i386-type internet appliance and cf card

2006-12-22 Thread Steve Franks

So, I've installed freebsd on a compact flash card sucessfully in my laptop
(or so it looks - sysinstall completes to /dev/ad4, copies everything, no
errors, etc) with the regular harddisk removed (for safety, of course).

Only it won't boot on the internet appliance when I stick the CF in there
(that's it's only supported boot device).  I get the F1 - Freebsd bootloader
prompt, then nothing more.  I let it sit for a good 10 min, just to be sure.

It's a i386 compatible processor, and people have sucessfully run at least 3
flavors of linux on it, as well as win98 from what I can glean on the net.

If I restart sysinstall, I can see the partition was written, but I can't
mount it from a running bsd machine - incorrect superblock, which I think
has to do with the following (aka. all or dd partitions):

I tried 'all three' modes of partition - create, all, and DD.  Each
time sysinstall completes, each time F1 - freebsd, but nothing more.

Used 'auto' on the label editor - the defaults seemed reasonable...

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Steve

   Why not just use the -C flag with ssh and port forward the port

soundcard/port, since I'm not sure if only one user can connect and use 
esd at one time. However, this can be setup per-user given a little

Yes, ls | less is the way to do it.  You can add a shell alias to

That's for bourne-style shells (sh,bash,zsh).  for csh, you would use

Put tildes (`) around the command alias maybe, or make the pls into a

nvida driver on amd64

First of all, I'm not asking for a step by step guide...just needing someone
to point me in the right direction:

There is a FreeBSD project un-officially named project evil which allows
one to use binary drivers from Microsoft windows for network interface cards
that are not natively supported. Is there a similar project or method out
there for video card drivers, such that we may use Linux drivers for video
cards that aren't natively supported under FreeBSD?

Basically I'm looking to get an nvidia driver for an FreeBSD system on
amd64, that supports openGL 2.0 hardware acceleration. So far, nvidia only
supports FreeBSD on the x86. Aside from going to linux (which I really don't
want to do) any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Can I use a driver
compiled for x86 on an amd64 architecture perhaps?

I'm guessing that

should have been

One other thing is that during the build I saw sub makes going on  
that had a different DESTDIR.


Eg
make -f Makefile.inc1 DESTDIR=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp par-all

how do I get things built into my desired location or is the make  
world eventually going to put them in the right place?


I'd suggest not using make world. Use make buildworld followed by  
make installworld. Here is my very terse set of notes on building a

Hi all
 I have installed FreeBSD 6.0 unix recently. But I am not able to configure
network (internet).
I am having leased line with Realtek gigabit ethernet NIC. When I try to
configure it is not showing the interface itself on sysinstall. Whether
this freeBSD support this card or else what I have to do.

Please help me
Expect your earlier response

regards
arun



The card can be configured after install, if the drivers for it exist. They 
just might not be in the kernell at install time (I don't know what ones 
are).
The re or rl drivers might be wat your after. The man pages for them have 
lists of supported cards.


  

Try re. rl is for the 10/100MBit cards--I know because I have one.

looking for advice on NAS

2006-12-22 Thread Peter Matulis
I am currently setting up a FreeBSD box that is currently running some
ugly kind of Linux (Mandrakelinux?).  It currently has 350 GB of data
residing in Samba shares so I am thinking about exporting storage to a
NAS device.  So I am looking for advice or comments on this move.  I am
attracted by a small form factor device but I also know about software
that zombifies a normal PC into a NAS device (FreeBSD-based OpenNAS). 
Another issue is an eventual backup to another portable device.  Does
NAS allow for this?  Any comments welcome.

Peter

Re: nvida driver on amd64

 First of all, I'm not asking for a step by step guide...just
 needing someone to point me in the right direction:

 There is a FreeBSD project un-officially named project evil which
 allows one to use binary drivers from Microsoft windows for network
 interface cards that are not natively supported. Is there a similar
 project or method out there for video card drivers, such that we
 may use Linux drivers for video cards that aren't natively
 supported under FreeBSD?

 Basically I'm looking to get an nvidia driver for an FreeBSD system
 on amd64, that supports openGL 2.0 hardware acceleration. So far,
 nvidia only supports FreeBSD on the x86. Aside from going to linux
 (which I really don't want to do) any suggestions on how to
 accomplish this? Can I use a driver compiled for x86 on an amd64
 architecture perhaps?

 Thanks.
 -Modulok-

You are at the mercy of nvidia to provide an AMD64 nvidia driver.  
There is no available magic to make either the linux AMD64 driver or 
the FreeBSD i386 driver work on FBSD AMD64.
