Thanks, It sounds very much like you just haven't written stuff correctly to CD. 1) You only *need* disk 1 and it boots. Disk 2 contains pre-built packages which you might want. I expect the handbook covers this. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html section on FreeBSD 5.X and above). 2) You need to write disk1 using Roxio or Nero or whatever *as an ISO*, *not* copy it as a file to the CD. The option might say something like image file instead of ISO. Same for disk2, to a different CD of course. Roxio opens up when you click on the ISO because an ISO is a special file format that is basically a dump of a CD. Nothing other than a CD writing program is likely to make much use of it. Forget the boot CD you don't need it. It is, I believe, used for network-only installs and using CD1 is easier for a beginner. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kill a hanged disk i/o process...
To the best of my knowledge, most processes can be killed explicitly by kill -s KILL; There are a few which cannot, such as disk i/o processes. The idea here is data integrity. On the rare occasion however, (when attempting to recover data from corrupt disks for example), I've had a process invoked by the cp command, hang. This poses a significant problem as these processes are disk i/o processes, and as such cannot be terminated (even by root). So, other than physically hitting the reset button on the case, is there a more eloquent method of forcefully halting a hanged disk i/o process? The idea of you don't want to terminate a disk i/o process, it could corrupt the data isn't really a good argument, because if the process hangs and I have to punch the reset button anyway what's the difference?

There has been a lot of discussion on the list lately about this, as a great portion of the world is going to DST this weekend, much earlier than the previous norm. You might glean some insight from the mail archives. Here are some other (my non-authoritative) thoughts. 1. If your system is =6.2, it's possible that the updated zone files are already installed. Most of the rest of the world's changes were, anyhow. 2. One way to test is to run `date -v +Nd`, where N is the number of days until the change. If date returns the wrong zone indicator (in my case it was CST instead of CDT), then run `tzsetup` as root and try again. 3. If it still returns the wrong indicator, install /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo from an up-to-date ports tree, run tzsetup, and try again. The gazetted changes/references are at: http://wa.gov.au/daylightsaving/ It might be worth mentioning that just having 6.2 installed may not be enough; if the system was upgraded from a lower version, you may still need to run tzsetup to get ready for DST. This took me by surprise yesterday; fortunately, no biggie as I have only a few servers/workstations running FreeBSD.

The main application I run is Vim, which I run through Gnome- Terminal. I frequently have several copies running simultaneously. In general response to Gnome-Terminal commands is very fast, but sometimes when I try to open a file with Vim it takes up to 20-30 seconds to load. The files are not particularly large (max 300 lines). During this time, if I try to launch another application in Gnome (e.g., Opera or another Gnome-Terminal), it will not come up. It is as if everything is frozen until finally Vi loads and opens the file, at which point anything else I have tried to open works fine. While this loading takes place, I can work in any other open application normally. Oftentimes I have another Vim session which I am editing in. I have of course looked at top when this problem occurs. CPU usage is about 2%, and there is no significant memory usage either. I never experience this problem outside Gnome, whether I'm using screen or several virtual terminals. It's really strange. Anyway, I hope someone out there has some ideas.

GPG_TTY=`tty` export GPG_TTY # ## Start Agent ## if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info \ kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2/dev/null; then GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` export GPG_AGENT_INFO else eval `gpg-agent --daemon` echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO $HOME/.gpg-agent-info fi The problem is, if I log in again from a remote location, the .bash_login is read again and another copy of gpg-agent is started. Obviously, I do not want that behavior. I tried starting it from CRON; however, the variables: GPG_AGENT_INFO GPG_TTY are not set.. I then tried to create a script and run it from /usr/local/etc/rc.d; however, that forces the script to run as root, which I do not want. -- Gerard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Running script from rc.d as local user
You need a first line in your script to choose what shell to run it: #!/usr/local/bin/bash You should add a line: /usr/bin/su [to your username] Then try it at bootup as an rc script. -Derek At 08:24 AM 3/8/2007, Gerard Seibert wrote: I am trying to get gpg-agent to start at boot time.

I expect the handbook covers this. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html section on FreeBSD 5.X and above). 2) You need to write disk1 using Roxio or Nero or whatever *as an ISO*, *not* copy it as a file to the CD. The option might say something like image file instead of ISO. Same for disk2, to a different CD of course. Roxio opens up when you click on the ISO because an ISO is a special file format that is basically a dump of a CD. Nothing other than a CD writing program is likely to make much use of it. Forget the boot CD you don't need it.

Question is, what do I do next? everytime I try to 'open' the file(s) Roxio CD Creator opens up. Help! Thanks, Steve The first thought is: did you burn the bood CD correctly. It is already an ISO and should be burned as a plain data file with no reforming or conversion to be bootable or etc. That is the first thing I would verify. If you can get your hands on a different machine, then try booting that with the CD. It won't hurt anything to just boot as long as you don't commit to modifying the disk - for which there are lots of warnings and 'are you really sure you want to do this' messages. You only need the disk1 for booting and installing or running a fixit. The disk2 has additional things you might want to install - ports, if you can't install them over the net. As for where to put the FreeBSD installation, you cannot put it in an MS drive such as h:. It has to go in to its own primary slice. MS does not know how to recognize, read or write a FreeBSD slice. So if it is something MS can see, then it is not a FreeBSD primary slice. If MS uses the whole drive, you will need to either wipe out the MS stuff or shrink those slices to make room for a FreeBSD slice. You can look at it with the FreeBSD fdisk routine in the fixit shell. - But, of course, you have to get it to boot to the CD first. Then, since the existing slices are probably NTFS, you may need a special utility to shrink them. There are freeware utilities that can handle FAT slices, but not NTFS. I have been quite successful using Partition Magic to manipulate disk slicing including NTFS. It is generally available for about $70 the last I checked. With that you create a Primary Partition of 'unknown' type in empty space obtained by either shrinking or deleting currently existing partitions.NOTE here that the MS world calls these primary partitions, but the BSD UNIX world calls them slices and uses the term partition for a different kind of disk division - those that further subdivide slices. So, do some more studying and check out that CD burn. jerry The only secure computer is one that's unplugged, locked in a safe, and buried 20 feet under the ground in a secret location... and I'm not even too sure about that one ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In general response to Gnome-Terminal commands is very fast, but sometimes when I try to open a file with Vim it takes up to 20-30 seconds to load. The files are not particularly large (max 300 lines). During this time, if I try to launch another application in Gnome (e.g., Opera or another Gnome-Terminal), it will not come up. It is as if everything is frozen until finally Vi loads and opens the file, at which point anything else I have tried to open works fine. Is it possible that you're low on RAM, and the system has to swap in a bunch of stuff to let you task-switch to Opera or GT? Is it only the combination of GT Vim, or do you sometimes encounter this long delay when switching between applications doing other things? I have of course looked at top when this problem occurs. CPU usage is about 2%, and there is no significant memory usage either. It would be helpful to know what state the GT vim processes were in, too. RAM usage remains very low throughout. In addition, I have 2GB of RAM on this system, so while that was also my first suspicion, I don't think that's it. When vim exhibits this behavior (which it doesn't always do), it will sit in sbwait and will finally load as it comes out of sbwait. If I try to open another GT during vim's stalling, it will also be stuck in sbwait, generally coming out of it at the same time as vim.

Hi! I’m new to rancid and I’ve been trying to config it to run Cisco Network devices. The problem is that I’m facing the problem with a Switch as described below. Cisco Switch Hardware Model: WS-C6506 My .cloginrc file is set correctly. At least I surmise this because I can run clogin switch001 without problem and log to my device enable prompt. When I execute the command ./clogin switch001 it works fine. My router.db file is set with the line: switch001:cisco:up When I run rancid-run, and check the log file, I have the following error: -- starting: Thu Mar 8 15:00:00 BRT 2007 Trying to get all of the configs. switch001: missed cmd(s): dir /all slavedisk2:,show rsp chassis-info,dir /all sec-slot2:,show diag,dir /all disk1:,show gsr chassis,dir /all sec-nvram:,dir /all disk2:,dir /all sec-bootflash:,show spe version,dir /all slaveslot2:,dir /all disk0:,show install active,show bootvar,dir /all slaveslot0:,dir /all sec-slot1:,dir /all harddiska:,dir /all slavenvram:,show flash,dir /all sec-disk2:,dir /all slavesup-bootflash:,dir /all sec-disk0:,dir /all harddiskb:,show variables boot,show boot,dir /all slavedisk1:,show env all,show module,show controllers,show diagbus,dir /all slavedisk0:,show idprom backplane,dir /all bootflash:,dir /all sec-slot0:,dir /all sec-disk1:,write term,show vtp status,dir /all sup-bootflash:,dir /all slot2:,dir /all harddisk:,dir /all slot0:,dir /all sup-microcode:,show vlan,dir /all slavebootflash:,show controllers cbus,dir /all slaveslot1:,dir /all nvram:,show version,show redundancy secondary,show running-config,show c7200,dir /all slot1: switch001: End of run not found !

Network Printing recommendations please
I've just built my 6v2 box and all is going well so far. I've read the manual and understand LPD and directly attached printers. The manual however is pretty minimal when it comes to network-based printers, (netprint), and only mentions LPRng and CUPS on a single page briefly. I understand this; it's probably because they're not direct FreeBSD products but this doesn't help a newb-to-FreeBSD like me. I only want to build the foundation system once, so, any recommendations please on what to install/configure? (Hope this doesn't start a bikeshed). It's a single user system, for my own education (and enjoyment?) so it'll almost certainly never print any graphics or host complicated databases, etc. It's only got 512Mb RAM and a 10Gb HD so I don't have a huge resource available. The printers I have are a bullet-proof classic/HPLJ4 with internal JetDirect card, and a new HPDeskjet 6980 (colour inkjet). Unless someone can come up with a good reason to use X-Windows I don't know if I want to install it so that counts out LPRng? Apologies if this is the wrong forum or invalid posting, please advise.

You could try to mount a 6.2 iso-file and use the sysinstall from there, if that does not work due to library dependencies you could partition the disk by hand using fdisk and disklabel (or do that with the 4.8 sysinstall). After mounting the new disk to /mnt etc. you can extract the kernel and userland using the install.sh script you will find at the set directories in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/. I think you only need base and a kernel. Only drawback is you will not be able to use UFS2 I guess, because the 4.8 newfs doesn't know about that. But maybe someone has a solution to that. You could also use qemu to prepare a freebsd6 system and use dd to write it onto the second disk. greetings, philipp ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ifconfig up hanging on 6.1
We have some Dell PowerEdge 1950 1u rack servers with GigE NICs on them running FreeBSD 6.1. The NICs are connected to a Cisco 24 port 10/100 switch. The interfaces are down when the programs that are running on them are dormant, and whenever they receive a job, they bring the interface up. (The other NIC is always up, which is how the servers receive new job notifications.) A couple of times per day (about every hour or so on average), the server receives a job, brings up the interface, and starts processing. The thing is that occasionally, about 10% of the time, bringing up the interface doesn't seem to do anything. It's as if the network is still down. So we have to go any manually bring it up again for it to work. We assumed that it was an auto-negotiation problem with the GigE card and the switch, so we forced everything to 100Mbit, but it still occurs. What could be the problem? thanks, Thomas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using gpg-agent on freebsd
I'm using FreeBSD 6.2 I've been tinkering with using gpg-agent for GnuPG passphrase caching when using Kmail. I have been able to get it working as per the instructions at http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php for starting the daemon when entering KDE. But, I want to start gpg-agent when the sytem starts and I login to console mode (not just when I enter KDE), and I want Kmail to use the agent for GnuPG usage. Could someone please describe to me the details of the steps that I need to take and the file modifications that I need to make for this to work. Again, I want the gpg-agent to be up and running when I login to the console, also when I log into KDE, I want Kmail to use the agent. The way I log into KDE is to first login to the console via a limited user account, then do sudo kdm and log into KDE using the same limited user account. I have root login disabled for both console and KDE. I've read the instructions for using a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession to start the gpg-agent daemon when logging into kde, but I have neither file in my home directory, and anyway want the daemon running upon entering console mode login, i.e., running always and only one gpg-agent process running at any given time. Please CC my email address with any responses. Thanks very much for suggestions. FreeBSD rocks!

It kicked out that output when I tested it and also when I rebooted the server. However,
Zope was still not up. I should qualify that. Zope appears to be up, but when
I try to access it TTW (the ZMI) I can't reach the site.

Sounds like your problem is with Zope somewhere and not
the startup script per se - though it could be something
missing in the startup. I have never used Zope.

If the user has a home, why not add it to /etc/profile, or ~/.profile?
It's only a problem if it's a daemon user without a home.. that's when
stuff gets a bit tricky with the profile setup.

you'll get the most of it.
You can find some examples in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
HTH
Christian
As mentioned when I asked the question a while back, be careful about
how you optimize freebsd. Adding additional options beyond -O2 -pipe
-fno-strict-aliasing isn't really supported so much and is discouraged
by many on this list (AFAIK) and a lot of people on the hackers@ list
(that I do know). Unlike some linux distributions where using CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS are encouraged, it's discouraged here because it generates a
lot more variation in having to check through errors, and many times the
levels of optimization used my system users is counterproductive to the
purpose of optimizing.
I was told to add -fno-strict-aliasing, because it's an option to allow
some programs and code compile that are improperly developed or use
deprecated code / features.
From gcc(1):
-fstrict-aliasing
Allows the compiler to assume the strictest aliasing rules
applicable to the language being compiled. For C (and C++),
this activates optimizations based on the type of
expressions. In particular, an object of one type is assumed
never to reside at the same address as an object of a
different type, unless the types are almost the same. For
example, an unsigned int can alias an int, but not a
void* or a double. A character type may alias any other
type.
Pay special attention to code like this:
union a_union {
int i;
double d;
};
int f() {
a_union t;
t.d = 3.0;
return t.i;
}
The practice of reading from a different union member than
the one most recently written to (called ``type-punning'') is
common. Even with -fstrict-aliasing, type-punning is
allowed, provided the memory is accessed through the union
type. So, the code above will work as expected. However,
this code might not:
int f() {
a_union t;
int* ip;
t.d = 3.0;
ip = t.i;
return *ip;
}
Every language that wishes to perform language-specific alias
analysis should define a function that computes, given an
tree node, an alias set for the node. Nodes in different
alias sets are not allowed to alias. For an example, see the
C front-end function c_get_alias_set.
Enabled at levels -O2, -O3, -Os.
Just provide inverse logic of the above set of statements.
Definitely set CPUTYPE though--this will help since it gets passed to
gcc as -march=$CPUTYPE. However, since the version of gcc the base
system works with isn't bleeding edge it won't support all processor
types / optimizations available in later versions of gcc. There is an
examples of a make.conf file in /usr/share/etc/make.conf.example.

As was suggested to me about 4-5 months ago (may want to look in the archives), the best means to ensure user account info is synced is to use NIS (for credentials, like users, groups, NIS domain info, etc) and LDAP/Kerberos (authentication, passwords, etc). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe I'll go back and try a re-install of Windows NT 4.0, at least THAT worked, 'up to a point' My thanks to everyone for their help and support, I really appreciate it. Thanks, Steve The only secure computer is one that's unplugged, locked in a safe, and buried 20 feet under the ground in a secret location... and I'm not even too sure about that one Got one final question Steve. What kind of motherboard is being used in your machine? Well, how about one more question: can you provide the make / model number of the board? Just curious. Regards, Paulette McGee When's the last time you've updated your BIOS? Your board may not support Unices properly without an update, or at all. My assumption's based on what you said about NT 4.0.. that hasn't really been in use since like '96~'98, has it =\? -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Using gpg-agent on freebsd
Disregard my previous request for instructions. I've figured out how to get it to work. I simply added the gpg-agent initiation command to the system-wide /etc/profile file. It works as expected.

java process logs wrong time
Hello, I am using 6.2 version with a custom kernel config. Another machine uses 6.1 also with custom kernel. On both of the machines there is java installed. java version 1.5.0 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b01, mixed mode) We have a program written in java and this program logs its operation to a log file. It alwasy logs the correct hour when it does its work. Yesterday I had to restart the program on 6.1 machine and noticed that the entries in log file are now one hour behind. So I restarted the same java api on the 6.2 machine and it did the same thing - it put the log entries as 7 a.m. when it actually was 8 a.m. (so java is one our behind the system time but the program uses system date and time). On both of the machines the system time is CET: $ date Fri Mar 9 07:46:22 CET 2007 And on both of them we use 161 ?? IWs0:00.00 adjkerntz -i Up to when I had to restart java processes, the logging was always consistent with the system time on both machines. Now it is not. Can you give me any advice how to troubleshoot it? A thing to mention is that there were no changes to the java api in the meantime. As for the systems, 6.1 has been patched but otherwise nothing changed. The 6.2 was upgraded from 6.1. Otherwise no other (system) changes. Can it have something to do with time zones? In our region (time zone) the clocks have not been ajdusted yet for spring (but they will be shortly). Thank you in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
