Abit KN9 + FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE
Hey everyone.. I bought an Abit KN9, with a 200MB Maxtor IDE drive on the main IDE0 channel. I also have RAID set up on the SATA devices. I'm trying to install 6.2-RELEASE on the system, and it installs, I created the partitions and sliced them appropriately (/, swap, /tmp, /var, /usr). If I go into the EHS, I see /boot/kernel/kernel exists. When I reboot after the install, I get an error saying 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel does not exist. The system sees the drive as ad0, the slice as ad0s1. I've installed this with the boot manager on ad0, as well as no boot manager. Same results. What on Earth am I doing wrong here? :-/ Thanks in advance!

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 ...

WWW as File and Directory Owner rather than User
Hi. My site is hosted on a friend's freeBSD server. I do not have root access. I do however have full access to MySQL. I am the only one on the server that uses it. I access MySQL via phpMyAdmin. Over the last several months I have installed several PHP/MySQL applications and had no problems. A couple days ago however I went to install dotProject to try it out, and it wanted to create its database itself. It didn't want to just populate the database, but actually create it. To allow it to do this via my username I had to give myself global privileges. I gave myself all the global privileges including Grant. DotProject successfully installed itself. I tried it out, didn't find it to suit my purposes and then tried to delete it, but found that it had created files owned by WWW rather than owned by me. Obviously I couldn't directly delete those files, and had to do so with a PHP script. My first question is did I somehow give WWW the ability create files and directories. I have since taken away my global privileges, but when I installed another app, it also created files and directories with WWW as the owner. Should WWW be able to be the owner? If not, how do I take its privileges away? Root is listed as a user in MySQL, as well as myself, but WWW is not. Now I am afraid to create any new WordPress entries because I don't know if all my apps are going to start creating files with WWW as the owner rather than me. Thanks in advance for any clarification or help on this. I am rather new with this sort of thing.

Greg, the www user/group is fairly standard, as it's usually the unprivileged user that the web server software is run as. The www user/group is on the FreeBSD system itself, not the MySQL instance. Any time a php script creates, edits, or removes a file, it's going to typically be done with the www user/group. One solution would be to ask your friend to make you a member of the www group, which should allow you to modify/delete any files that the scripts create. A better solution would be to setuid on the directory, and give www temporary write access when you need to perform an installation such that you just experienced.

FreeBSD 6.2 for ia64
Hello list members! I have couple questions about setting up FreeBSD under Itanium. First, what ISOs I'll be needed for setting up system. In the ia64 directory I see 6.2-RELEASE-ia64-livefs.iso Do I need it? I just want to set up system in minimal config, no X, ports, src and ecetra... Next question is does anyone have experience in setting up FreeBSD under NEC express5800/1320Xe?

My text is all quite large, my icons larger. What I really need to do is learn about X. All of the docs I've found have been for older versions or consist only of occult references to a particular users' edge case. It seems nobody's written a book about xorg. (Don't ask me to, I don't know enough to even write the proposal! :-) Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent user tutorial for X troubleshooting?

ipfw fwd not working in 6.2-release
I have tried to get ipfw fwd to work in 6.2-release but it always barfs.
I have recompiled and installed a custom kernel with
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
and I have added to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Here's the rule that I'm trying to get to work.
$fwcmd add forward 127.0.0.1,3128 tcp from not me to any 80 in via ${iif}
When I run it I get:
ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument
All the other rules I have work fine.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Anyone else see this behaviour?

What can I do? There are two reasons why a filesystem may give 'out of space' errors when df(1) still shows plenty of space available. i) Out of inodes. You can tell this by running 'df -i'. You're unlikely to run into this unless either you used non-standard settings when you newfs'd the partition or else the partition is full of a very large number of very files. If this is the case, then apart from rampantly deleting lots of stuff the only solution is to backup the filesystem somewhere, recreate the filesystem by running newfs with a more realistic set of parameters (bytes-per-inode should be smaller) and then recover the data from backup. ii) Open file descriptor on an unlinked file. This is much more likely to be the problem with the /var partition, seeing as it's a favourite place for log files. What can happen is this: a process has a file open (ie. it has an open file descriptor on the data) but a second process comes along and unlinks the original file. That means that the file name and other meta data are removed from the directory contents, but since another process has the file open, the space taken up by the files' data is not returned to the generally available pool. Sounds daft at first, but that's the way Unix has worked since the epoch and if you think about it, it makes sense really. Doing that deliberately can be exceedingly useful -- a program can reserve itself some scratch space that can't be accessed or altered by anything else[*] What tends to happen in /var is a side effect of not rotating log files correctly. newsyslog(8) and pals will move aside and compress an existing log file very happily, then they will send a signal to the program generating the log file (by default assumed to be syslogd) to tell it to close and reopen any files it is logging to -- it's a common behaviour for Unix daemons to understand a SIGHUP to mean 'reinitialise yourself and reopen any files you're using' If newsyslog(8) signals the wrong process, or doesn't signal any process at all, or the process doesn't grok the SIGHUP, then you'll find you get exactly the sort of orphaned file with an open descriptor on it as described above. The way to debug this is to list all of the processes that have open descriptors on the partition: # fstat -f /var then it's a case of doing some detective work to try and identify which out of the many processes listed is the culprit. Unfortunately fstat(1) doesn't tell you file names -- instead you get the files inode number as column 6 of the output. There is no generic method of mapping from inode number to filename (indeed, orphaned files like we've been discussing have an inode number, but *no* filename); other than by doing exhaustive searches using eg. find(1): # find /var -inum n -print In this case you're looking for the ones that don't return an answer.

Second of all, I'm not the original poster so sending the email To: me isn't that helpful. Third of all, and most important, open files are irrelevant. The OP was using df. df counts free blocks in the file system. Files which are open and then deleted do not free their blocks and do not show up as free blocks in df.

Re: Help! Mail to 'localhost' not staying local CORRECTION
I don't think your hosts file is correct, unless you are telling me you own the domain athome.net. You need to use a domain name you own or one that is not in use. OK. No I don't own athome.net. BUT I've been using it for years without problems -- until today! As I said, the hosts file is it's always been. It seems that localhost just isn't local any more. I'm trying to figure what's changed and what I should do about it.

can I use info from gentoo installation?
I've been a big fan of FreeBSD for a few years using it on desktop/headless servers and want to use it on my laptop (clevo m38aw, sager 3880). I couldn't find much on the web regarding hardware compatibility or installation guides for FreeBSD for this specific laptop, but did find the following guide for Gentoo linux http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Clevo_M38AW but, I really want to stick with FreeBSD (love the ports collection, etc.). I have a few questions about possible paths to take. 1) If I try installing FreeBSD, will I be using much of the information about the drivers etc. from linux (linux binary compat, etc.)? 2) I've tried getting FreeBSD (4.9, 5.X, 6.2) to work before on this laptop and couldn't even get the NIC to light up (neither of them) and the system doesn't have a floppy drive, so getting downloaded files onto the machine is tough, at best. When I tried using the USB stick, the machine would reboot each time I removed the stick. A no-go for use in my book. Are these troubles fixed in the 6.2? 3) Will I be generating a one time thing by installing BSD on this laptop using the linux guide or are there others that need this information. I don't mind spending some time (I do have to get real work done) if it benefits others, but I don't have the time, if I can spend it better (like earning income!) 3) Is this really worth the trouble, or does anyone have any experience with gentoo that they're willing to share that is convincing enough to simply forget this exercise and move on :-( Jeff. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ISO Image Size Increasing
I have run into a rather weird problem, that I am not sure how to correct. I have created a bootable CD for my FreeBSD systems which is approximately 234 MB in size. While deploying the image, I found an error I would like to correct. All I am doing is adding a symlink to a folder in the /home directory. Please let me know if you see anything flawed in my procedure which may be causing this problem. 1. Create a directory to work in /home/CDImage. 2. Copy the existing image to the /home/CDImage directory. tar -cpf - /cdrom | tar -xpf - 3. Add the necessary symlink. 4. Create the ISO image. /usr/local/bin/mkisofs -allow-leading-dots -l -R -T -iso-level 4 -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -o fwcd.iso CDImage The image copied from the CD is approximately 234 MB in size, and the image created by mkisofs is 664 MB.

Re: Rebuilding World Failed
Hey,
I normally boot into multi-user mode, then drop down to single user mode via

In doubt check with the 'mount' command to see if your filesystems are

Usually, I don't boot in single user mode to make instalworld but it

Broadcom BCM5721 Ethernet Not Recognized on 6.2-RELEASE
Hello All, I recently put together a new server with 6.2-RELEASE (installed via FTP a few days ago), and it's basically going great. Unfortunately, however, the machine is not recognizing the Broadcom BCM5721 gibabit Ethernet card, despite the fact that (based on archived mailing list posts, at least) this card is supported on at least 6.1-RELEASE. I'm running a generic kernel, and haven't tweaked any fancy networking options; it's about as bare-bones a config as you can get. Given the fact that the base system is a Tyan Transport GT20 B2865G20S4H (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856152019 , which is where I got it), and the dmesg/ifconfig output below, can anyone help me figure out why this card isn't being recoginzed? Additionally, any info as to the acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR lines would be appreciated, though those appear to be a non-issue based on other posts I've seen.

Re: Rebuilding World Failed
My box is going to be used as a server. But I'm just setting it up now, so
there aren't any other users nor major daemon's running on the system.
So I don't have to be a single user mode to do all this? Rebuild the kernel
and world, that is?

My question may be simple, but once sendmail has delieverd its mail to the user, where is it stored ? Typically it will be in /var/mail/$USER Is each email stored as an individual file ? No. Unless you configure things otherwise, mail will be stored in unix (AKA mbox) format with one file per user. I see that under my /home/'each users' directory I have a mbox file. Once open it contains email messages. However, I note that these do not tie up with what is in my inbox through my webmail client. Some messages exist in the mbox file but not my inbox. Some mail clients, like mail, will move messages from /var/mail/ $USERNAME to ~/mbox. Pine also does this under default configurations. So the problem appears to be that your webmail system (what is it?) is only looking in /var/mail and note for mbox files in your home directory. Chances are it can be configured to look for both. If not, then you need to be careful to only read your mail using one system. Personally, I prefer setting up an IMAP server. IMAP has all of the advantages of webmail without the disadvantages.

Re: can I use info from gentoo installation?
Hi Jeff On 03/04/07, Jeff D. Hamann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been a big fan of FreeBSD for a few years using it on desktop/headless servers and want to use it on my laptop (clevo m38aw, sager 3880). I couldn't find much on the web regarding hardware compatibility or installation guides for FreeBSD for this specific laptop, but did find the following guide for Gentoo linux http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Clevo_M38AW but, I really want to stick with FreeBSD (love the ports collection, etc.). I have a few questions about possible paths to take. 1) If I try installing FreeBSD, will I be using much of the information about the drivers etc. from linux (linux binary compat, etc.)? Unfortunately, no. FreeBSD and Linux use entirely different kernels, which can't use each other's code because of licensing issues. You might have better luck looking for information on using other BSD's with that laptop, but don't quote me on that. (If you do, you might consider using them if FreeBSD does not work - their packaging systems are similar. Alternatively, try SabayonLinux, which uses Gentoo's portage system (inspired by FreeBSD ports) but which unlike Gentoo can be installed quickly using a precompiled set of binaries. They are also working up to having the capability to build binaries from any of the packages in portage. 2) I've tried getting FreeBSD (4.9, 5.X, 6.2) to work before on this laptop and couldn't even get the NIC to light up (neither of them) and the system doesn't have a floppy drive, so getting downloaded files onto the machine is tough, at best. When I tried using the USB stick, the machine would reboot each time I removed the stick. A no-go for use in my book. Are these troubles fixed in the 6.2? You can find a list of compatible hardware on the FreeBSD website. If the hardware you want to use isn't not there, it might work, or it might not. 3) Will I be generating a one time thing by installing BSD on this laptop using the linux guide or are there others that need this information. I don't mind spending some time (I do have to get real work done) if it benefits others, but I don't have the time, if I can spend it better (like earning income!) Well, I'm sure people would appreciate any information you can give. In a world where HP is top dog (taking over from Dell) at only ~17%, there aren't going to be THAT many people who have any specific make, never mind model, of laptop. 3) Is this really worth the trouble, or does anyone have any experience with gentoo that they're willing to share that is convincing enough to simply forget this exercise and move on :-( The trouble with Gentoo (and I say this having used it for three years until just this week) is that when it breaks, it can take ages to fix it. I probably will go back to Gentoo at some point - some aspects of the distro, such as its user community, just rock - but for the moment I have decided that it's too much work.

When I tried using the USB stick, the machine would reboot each time I removed the stick. A no-go for use in my book. Are these troubles fixed in the 6.2? Has it a CD-ROM drive? Certainly that's the quickest way to install FreeBSD, as most other OSes. Plus, you could download the latest FreeSBIE Live CD (www.freesbie.org) and see for yourself if the machine will work with a fairly up-to-date codebase. I believe that the latest FreeSBIE is using 6.2-RELEASE as a base. I've got a USB pen drive that works fine and has for some time. OTOH, I've got a treo like device that causes panics, last I checked, and so I'm not using it much anymore.

HyperThreading was present in all Northwood CPUs, but was disabled in the core in all but the 3.06 GHz model. [/wikipedia] until now, my only pentium 4 was a 3.2 which does, and some 1.8s which i already knew didnt support it. i guess i just figured that my xeons at 533 FSB supported, it, xeons at 400FSB supported, it... so a 2.8 with 533 should support it too?? oh well, not if its disabled in the core.

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.
I've been experimenting with greylisting for months. Not
sure the regular mail filter installs or not, but the devel
version installed just now perfectly.
Is there any tutorial on this or should I just re-read the man
pages and other docs a few more times! From llooking at the
config file in /usr/local/etc/mail, the retry seems to default
to a #commented-out 1h. Sorry, but I have trouble parsing
this kind of grammar:
quote
# How long a client has to wait before we accept
# the messages it retries to send. Here, 1 hour.
# May be overridden by the -w greylist_delay command line argument.
#greylist 1h
/quote
If you, Dan, or anyone else on-list could clue me in, I would
be much obliged. (Once--and only once--I think I had greylisting
working, but I screwed up my sendmail {or whatever} and yanked
everything. After many hours, mail workedd, but I didn't
re-install greylisting. It *did* cut down the SPAM
considerably. It's time to retry.
thanks much,
gary
