Re: Filesystem that both FreeBSD and OS X can read/write
mal content schreef: Hello. I have a small USB hard disk enclosure and would like to start using it to transfer files between OS X and FreeBSD machines. Is there a filesystem that both OS X and FreeBSD can reliably read and write to? I've heard that OS X supports UFS, but there's no clear definition on what UFS actually is. I mean Free/Open/Net/ DragonFly all seem to have slightly differing definitions... Any ideas? MC I have done this frequently. In my experience the only way is FAT32, for large drives you need to compile the freebsd kernel with the MSDOSFS_LARGE option. You should be able to read/write the drive in OSX 10.3 and upwards, I do not think it works with 10.2 and 10.1 Formatting the drive is easy in OSX so I would do it there I beleive the reason for UFS not being compatible is an endian (big vs small) issue, maybe solved now with the new intel macs. I have not tried it with usb, but it worked with firewire. If both machines are connected through a network you may also want to take a look at netatalk kind regards bram (please cc: as I'm not subscribed) ___ 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]
RE: no subject.
Hi, I am very new to Freebsd so this might be a dumb question, but I can't find an answer through FAQ.. I used the command make install clean to install some ported applications, and the installs went off without a hitch and reported successful.My problem is that I can't find the locations of the installed applications or the executables for the apps to run them.What am I missing here? Normally the instaled binary of the applications are in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/X11R6/bin... If the applications has been succesfully instaled via ports, type whereis application-name, and it will show you the place. For example, previous to the instalation, if you type whereis xmms, it will just show you /usr/ports/chinese/xmms. After the instalation, typieng the same, whereis xmms, it will show you something like that. bash-2.05b$ whereis xmms xmms: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmms /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xmms.1.gz /usr/ports/chinese/xmms If you have /usr/X11R6/bin in your path, (echo $PATH will show it) just typing xmms in a terminal will run the application.

Re: Cannot pkg_add linux-flashplugin7
Hi, I have tried to a couple of times to install a Micromedia-alike flash plugin for FreeBSD but failed. So far I have successfully installed the linux-pluginwrapper as a requirement at /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper. So I tried /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 and issued the command pkg-add -r linux-flashplugin7. The system attempted to download the file from ftp site but came back saying the file linux-flashplugin7 did not exist. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? The answer that you receive is just because it doesn't exist it like a package on the ftp server that your are fetching from. Try to install it via ports way, typing make install clean on /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7, as described in the manual http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html Hope this help. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

Thanks, I'll try. I knew of that program, but with time I forgot it's name. I must say that freebsd works very well as a workstation, there are no viruses (am I right?), As good as right. There have been proof-of-concept viruses for UNIX, but AFAIK no one has ever been found in the wild. And most of them rely on the operator doing something stupid (like running an un-trusted binary as root). That doesn't mean FreeBSD is invulnerable though. If you're running a workstation there are several things you should do IMHO. 1) Enable one of the firewalls that are available on FreeBSD (I like pf). This firewall should be set up to block incoming connections. 2) Do not enable any services that you don't need. 3) Disable all logins that don't come from the local machine.

UPGRADing from 5.4- Sysinstall or makeworld
Hi everyone, I'm think I really need to upgrade from 5.4 as I'm having a slew of issues with my programs- specifically exim-sa-clamav- My concern is that this was the only BSD install I had ever done with assistance from a colleague from across the border- So all I have been doing for the past year is cvsup-ing and portupgrading- however as mentioned earlier I'm running into issues that are consuming too much time for me to resolve as I am a one man IT department here. The first thing I'd like to know is if my box can indeed handle the upgrade to 6.2 - I have the following hardware- PIII 500mhz 256 ram 8 gig hard-drive The ONLY thing I use this box for is to filter mail that then gets passed to my exchange server- Are there any gotcha's I need to lookout for before attempting this upgrade, since this filters my e-mail if I screw up- I will have no incoming mail- lest I choose to redirect my SMTP directly to my mail server- NOT A GOOD IDEA.

FreeBSD HP Netserver LH 3000 hang at sysinstall
Hello, I have an HP Netserver LH 3000 Server w/ 2x 800 MHZ pIII 1128 MB RAM (HP Parts) Integrated Netraid, 4 drives 100 GB of storage Bios 4.06.33 PT MMC 10.46 netraid bios 2.04 firmware 1.12 I have scene posts that quote this hardware working with LH 3000/6000 (2-way piii, 6-way piii xeon) basically all applied updates available from HP short of the Ultra3 conversion, which they say don't do unless your migrating to ultra3; which I will be but lack the hardware and don't want more mess on my hands. FreeBSD 6.2-Release, 6.0-Release, and FreeSBIE 1.1 ( Rel_5.4 I think) tried to no avail. Would dig up my Rel_5.x disks but if FreeSBIE won't work... I can't boot with ACPI enabled have to hit 2 at loader screen. which is fine any computer rated at 1.2 KW isn't going to have power management... although with the bios updates I think it will work now, but I still have been hitting 2 most of the time. Everything works fine until sysintall loads. The keyboard just doesn't work. Caps lock etc al does nothing no Leds light up. Sometimes it seems during the probing devices message the keyboard appears to go through a bus reset, and it doesn't come back. sometimes it doesn't appear to reset at all; all leds lighting up and turning off again is what I mean by reset. I have tried two keyboards, both do the same. With FreeSBIE 1.1 I can get as far as md1.gzip loading 12454 blocks of 65535 or soemthing basically when it is loading up the Ramdrives and that is typed from memeory. usually it never leaves the splash screen. I haven't scene anything in my searches as to why I cannot get this thing to work. the biggest issues seem to be ACPI and EISA SCSI... I did see one thing on Interupts but I haven't found it again since. I have tried disabling SE SCSI, IRQ sharing, turning netraid back to LVD SCSI, pulling out option boards I'm not using (2 network cards). I've tried disabling hot swap PCI resources, changing the sharing methods from smart to fixed. My guess is the keyboard is sharing an IRQ with something FreeBSD doesn't like but I am not sure how to fix that, or if that is even the issue. I've considered putting jumpers on the hot swap RAID drives because I know FreeBSD doesn't like autoenumeration of SCSI devices, but I don't think this is a storage issue. And this (when I set the jumpers manually in the past) was a problem with finding drives not booting into sysinstall Has anyone had issues like this with FreeBSD on an HP netserver? I have seriously considered giving up and installing eComstation and running BSD in a virtual machine, but I would rather be running BSD on this box.

You should just install it from the ports. As root, type: cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 make all install clean Be sure to check the APACHE option to build the Apache module.

Re: automatically starting PostgreSQL
For reasons having to do with our particular operation, it is our custom to build many packages from source code no matter the operating system, so I don't want to install from the ports tree. Did you know that when you install from the ports tree, it will actually download the sources, make important patched for freebsd, and install from that source? In particular, you can give CFLAGS, makefile defines etc. In addition, when you install it from the ports tree, it gets recorded in the package database so you can install other applications that depend on postgresql. (For example, pgadmin3). Why do you want to install it from the sources? If you only want to optimize for your CPU and compile some contrib/extension modules, then you do not need to install from a source tarball yourself. Using the port will be enough. The script I used is one which is part of the PostgreSQL package and is specifically for FreeBSD. As I said the script works as expected. '/etc/rc.d/postgresql start|stop|restart' all work. I also have a duplicate script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which also works as expected when run manually. Neither of these start the server at boot time. First of all, since postgresql is not part of the base system, you should put its rc script under /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead of /etc/rc.d. The rc script won't be execute unless the following criterion are met: 1. The script is executeable (chmod +x filename) 2. The script has a .sh suffix, OR it uses rcorder. (See: man rcorder). Using rcorder is the better because you can define when to start your service. (Obvious example: you need to start networking before starting postgresql...) 3. If the script supports rc variables, then probably you need to adjust some variables in /etc/rc.conf. However, it depends on the script itself. Most ports work with rc scripts. Custom programs installed from source may not need this. I have an apache2 installation also built from source code, and also with a script from an external source, also placed in /etc/rc.d and referenced by the line 'apache2_enable=YES', and this *does* start at boot time. I guess because it is named apache.sh instead of apache, am I right? So I am a little confused as to what I need to do. If I add .sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql, in my /etc/rc.conf do I change my reference line to 'enable_postgresql.sh=YES'? Of course not. The rc variables can be set in rc.conf. They will be checked by the postgresql.sh script. E.g. it is not the base system that checks these variables. Putting variables in rc.conf for programs like postgresql is good because usually you want to disable/enable services in rc.conf. Configuring postgresql is another story. However, it is the startup script of your program that needs to have support for rc variables. I hope this helps.

php5 and SQL Scripts
About 4 years ago, we installed php from the FreeBSD ports collection on a system in order to query a MS-SQL data base on another server. It worked fine until we upgraded to FreeBSD6.2 and php5. I had moved the old binary across and also pulled several libraries in to /usr/local/lib and the old binary seemed to be happy until we actually tried to use it at which time it hung until manually killed. After installing /usr/ports/lang/php5 and even trying /usr/ports/lang/php4, our new php gives the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() Has anybody in the FreeBSD world seen this before and better yet, how do you fix it? We do a little piece of a back-end operation which gathers information from a web application and uses it to create or remove rules in a firewall. The folks who own the rest of the pieces of the operation are asking frequently if it is fixed yet. I am out of things to try. Obviously, something changed between our older system and the present because the object is either here but in a wrong directory or I didn't pick the right configuration options in setting up the port. The sql script has worked fine until now for all these years. Any ideas are much appreciated.

For reasons having to do with our particular operation, it is our custom to build many packages from source code no matter the operating system, so I don't want to install from the ports tree. The ports tree is just there for installation from source and putting the software after compile into canonical locations (and adding usually the necessary startup scripts etc. in the process - Ports are not to be mixed with packages. As FreeBSD supports the source centric way from centralised location, there shouldn't really be any need for doing the compile outside the ports tree. You can basically tweak the ports to your hearts content (most of the relevant options can be tweaked from the ports Makefile already) and in addition the port installs into location using a method the rest of FreeBSD users can give you meaningful advice. -Reko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First of all, thanks to all who replied. I missed the php5-mssql port, thinking that php5 was all I needed. The moving binaries phase was after we moved to a new platform and I rebuilt all our directories. I had carefully used tar xfk to recover /usr/local/bin from our previous system. For the 2 or 3 libraries I brought over to make the php binary work, I checked before copying to make sure there was nothing of the same name. When I discovered it didn't work, I looked at /usr/ports and discovered the php4 and php5 ports and did, in fact, properly build php. Now, php is hanging again which makes me think there is a problem between this system and the SQL server we communicate with. Our campus had Spring Break week before last and lots of systems were upgraded and or modified. It's like trying to find that one dead Christmas tree lamp in a series string of 100 which is killing the whole string.

xorg resolution on new laptop
Hi folks, I've scoured Google seeking wisdom, and found nothing except hordes of Linux users whining about this same problem. FreeBSD users don't seem to have this issue, except for me. Finally I have no choice but to throw myself on your tender mercies. I've been going nuts trying to get 1440x900 resolution on my new Toshiba P105. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Xorg assures me that the 945GM video card is supported by the i810 driver, provided I use the 915resolution program to set the resolution before starting X. I run: /usr/local/bin/915resolution 3c 1440 900 to add the resolution 1440x900 to the video BIOS. 915resolution -l now shows me: ... Mode 3c : 1440x900, 8 bits/pixel ... Mode 4d : 1440x900, 16 bits/pixel ... Mode 5c : 1440x900, 32 bits/pixel .. So, in theory 1440x900 should be available to the card. startx fails without a config file, so I let it create one and tweaked in based on gossip, rumour, and innuendo I've uncovered in three days of Web searching. I get something that looks *about* like 1200x768, but it's a far cry from 1440x900. pciconf -lv tells me: ...

Personally, I don't think that that is a good use of resources, and that the spammers clearly have the upper hand in that battle. You may wish to look at the ImageInfo plug-in to spamassassin. Have you tried Bayesian learning with spamassassin? Also when you say all of the black lists enabled there still may be more that are useful. Look at the IP addresses of things that pass you spam and look them up at www.dnsbl.info to see which, if any, lists they are in. Consider using those lists. But more and more of the things that I am seeing aren't listed in any of those lists. I try to do as much blocking as early as possible (using SPF and sanity checks on the initial part of the SMTP session (reverse mapping of client IP, sane HELO values, etc). So I can do most of my rejections prior to ever having to pass mail to spamassassin. But on the whole, spam is an unsolved problem. And is well beyond the topic of this discussion list. I'd recommend that you look at something like a spamassassin mailing list. Sorry I can't be more helpful. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberghttp://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
Re: Install FreeBSD 6.2 on Nokia IP350 box (BSD)
Hi Dave, Sorry for just reading your response this morning. Thanks for your suggestions. I installed freebsd 6.2 from a notebook and then put the hard disk back on to ip350.

Re: Changing Console Resolution - Vidcontrol
Yeah, I do SSH in most of the time, but with the vmware window open, I'm always tempted to type commands in there. So I figured it'd be nice just to be able to have a nice sized window to do it in.

Rebuilding World Failed
Hello,
I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-Stable. I'm getting errors when I try to rebuild
world. I have followed the steps in the handbook at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
I used csup to get the latest updates of both ports-all tag=. and src-all
tag=RELENG_6
What I did:
-updated via csup
-droped to single user mode
-cleared out /usr/obj
-make -j4 buildworld
-make buildkernel KERNCONF=my kern config
-make installkernel KERNCONF=my kern config
-rebooted into the new kernel; everything worked fine
-dropped to single user mode
-make installworld
During the installworld process I got the following output (Caught with
script installworld.out):

Re: advice on anti-spam tools
In the last episode (Apr 03), Angelin Lalev said: My e-mail server is running the latest spamassassin with all of the blacklist enabled and etc. but I still receive over 20 spam messages a day (image spam mostly). The situation with other users may be worse. That's why I was thinking about some tool that 1. store incoming email 2. send request to the sender of the message, requiring to go to some address and enter the numbers (letters) from image 3. if the puzzle is solved in time (week or so) deliver the message, otherwise delete it. Chances are you would just be annoying innocent people with backscatter email due to the forged addresses of most spam. You say you're running the latest spamassassin, but are you downloading updated rulesets? All of the image/stock spam I get is caught by spamassassin rules. Make sure you're running sa-update on a regular basis and restarting spamd when an update is applied. Putting /usr/local/bin/sa-update /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd.sh restart in a nightly cron job should suffice, I think. I have also found greylisting to be very effective. greylisting penalizes unknown smtp sources by tempfailing the first message seen from them for 5 minutes. Spammers usually don't spend resources queueing messages, so you never see them again. Real mail servers retry the message, which gets delivered. Subsequent messages from the same server come through without delay because the source is known. I use ports/mail/milter-greylist , which lets you adjust the greylist period and the whitelist timeout, and also can synch its database between multiple servers if you're running in a clustered setup. -- 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]
