USB on 4.11
Hi, I am trying to enable USB on FreeBSD 4.11. If I boot the GENERIC kernel, my USB drive is recognized. If I boot my customized kernel, the drive is not present. in the customized kernel I have: # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required) device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device pass# Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) # USB support device uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface device ohci# OHCI PCI-USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da which seems to be enough. usbd is enabled in rc.conf.

cdrecord hangs system (while blanking cd)
Hi! I was very surprised that when I`m useing cdrecord, (I`ve already tested that only when I`m doing some blanking) # cdrecord dev=0,1,0 blank=all all the system sticks, hangs, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=551487# or ... I would say system is going into some mysterious state, like cdrecord swallows all resources, so I can do nothing, only can wait for cdrecord when it ends blanking. After cdrecord has done its work, system is back and running again as usual and I can run commands in shell again. I`ve already cheked with portaudit - no problems found in installed ports, also cdrtools which includes cdrecord is up-to-date. I`m sure my hardware is ok (IMHO), cos no other problems are known and system is running good. I`ve already tried to solve my problem and have one post here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=551487 Any ideas?

edit files in single-user-mode, the output is all messed up
Hello, I have never been able to figure out how to do this, and I usually end up copying the file to be edited to a floppy et be able to edit it from another machine, but there has to ba a way to do it! Everytime I go into single-user-mode and I have to edit a file, the output to stdout is messed up (looks like there are no \n). I tried several editors (vi, ee, edit (ee I think), and I get the same thing, useless to say that it's impossible to edit the files. The only editor that works, is vim, but it's not always installed. Does anyone know why this happens? And does anyone know how to fix it?

Confusion between latex teTeX ports
I've been happily using latex, pdflatex and context for five years now. Now, because a port complains for the absence of a psfonts.sty file which seems to be presente in the latex port I tried to install this port BUT I can't make head or tail of the fact that if I try to install the port /usr/ports/print/latex while teTeX-base teTeX-texmf are installed they conflict stat# make install === Installing for latex2e-2003.12_1 === latex2e-2003.12_1 conflicts with installed package(s): teTeX-base-3.0_10 teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/print/latex. Why is that? I thought that latex was part of/ a subset of the wider teTeX port, therefore there's no reason why they should conflict. Isn't that true OR or is latex considered a different port/code with different libs and executable?

Hello, I am using Kexi to track various things in my office, including time off.

What happened to ethereal in the ports
Hi, I was needing to do some packet analysis this week (that's what prompted my question earlier about tcpdump), and in doing so I went to /usr/ports and did make search name=ethereal and was returned 4 hits. Basically, these hits were for ethereal or ethereal-lite. The directory was /usr/ports/net/ethereal. I tried to cd to that directory and nothing. The directory doesn't exist. I go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html and search for ethereal, same thing, no hits. Same result after searching through http://www.freshports.org. So, I remembered being told (from someone here) to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for questions to be answered about issues like this. I went to see that file and there was nothing in it about ethereal. Well, that is, no hits in vim after searching for ethereal or Ethereal. So, long story short, what happened to it? Why was it removed? If it was because there was no maintainer, that doesn't make any sense since many of the ports I've found are marked as no maintainer. Can I simply download and install and expect it to work?

The files to be backed up are Word, Excel, PDF, etc. Every jump drive I've seen comes pre-formatted as FAT-32.

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.

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.

RE: cdrecord hangs system (while blanking cd)
It is hardware but since you've already decided it isn't, this post is probably a waste of electrons. But for anyone else who is actually interested in troubleshooting and not jumping to conclusions, the problem is the drive isn't handling the full atapi command set properly. The drivers work around this to some extent, but is this really a problem, after all? The system isn't panicing or crashing, and burning a cd is a desktop application anyhow.

I need to figure out a couple of userland changes to the default 6.2 installation which took about an hour and went great. I have a shell account on my isp which runs 4.10-STABLE. In my old 4.2 box I have fetchmail set to log in, get mail and hand it over to local sendmail to put it in my local /var/mail/user directory on my old machine. I also use rsh (I know, don't) to log in to my shell account. I use my own sendmail to send mail out to various lists on the old box. I masquerade as my isp in sendmail, which puts the appropriate user name on my headers. Ok. In 6.2 box I've turned off local only mail (no submit.cf) and have sendmail maquerade working. I can send email out as a user, but I can't retrieve mail on my isp via fetchmail. I think ppp is configured correctly because I can telnet just fine to my shell account, but I can't rsh. It hangs after the password has been sent (yes you are not supposed to need a password with rlogin, but my isp uses one anyway for minium security). If I am root and switch during rsh/rlogin login to my username, I can get a little further along. I get the first few system announcements on the shell server, and then the terminal hangs. I have to kill the rlogin PID to get back the ttyN terminal. There also seems to be buffer overflows or conflicts between the mouse (on a usb port, usm0), 56k modem (PCI, sio0 remapped to sio4?), and printer (lpt0). In ppp, I use /dev/cuad4, despite the fact the modem is reported in dmesg as on sio0. Whatever is going on at some lower layer, all these devices work with random messages about stray irq's---so I am ignoring them at the moment. In other words, I can use dial-up, the mouse works, and the printer prints (via lp). Seems good enough for the moment. There have obviously been changes to the 6.2 base install that I don't know about that probably account for some of these problems. Unfortunately, most of these issues are no covered in the manuals that came with the CDs, or the coverage was out of date Suggestions on where to look, things to check and change would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I am more interested in getting correct behavior, than I am concerned with security. My first priority is getting fetchmail running. Here is the fetchmailrc dot file: defaults proto pop3 user mailname poll my.isp.com pass x set daemon 840 As user, I can run fetchmail at the command line, without an error message, but it also doesn't get and deliver any mail. I can send email to myself, but I am sure it never leaves the machine. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is correct---so sendmail masquerade is working. For example, sendmail does not write: [EMAIL PROTECTED], as it would without masquerade. I changed the permissions on sendmail back to: $ ll -r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 583680 Jan 11 23:42 sendmail from 6.2 default: $ ll -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 583680 Jan 11 23:42 sendmail I've tried it both ways and niether seems to make any difference. My general impression is that 6.2 has set up restrictions or modified rsh and fetcmail---or perhaps these are fine, but don't interact well with older verisons, i.e 4.10. Although I can ftp to my shell and down load files. Also I updated the ports via ftp as root, and everything took forever, but seems to work fine. For example I use Magicfilter which was not in the cd's, so from ports/printer, I downloaded Magicfilter, compiled and installed it and it works fine as a postscript filter for lpr. I know these are quite a few questions, but any suggestions on any of them would be much appreciated.

All I did, if I recall, was install the vim port from using sysinstall when I originally installed FreeBSD. After that, I installed cvsup-without-gui, updated my ports tree and then used portupgrade to upgrade the vim port (after installing portupgrade of course). I didn't actually define NO_GUI or WITHOUT_X11 anywhere when I originally did the install, and when I had originally installed the vim port it did work with the GUI.

Further questions on making wireshark work
Hi, Many thanks to Eric for pointing me in the correct direction with Wireshark and Ethereal. Interestingly, I couldn't find the directory (or the port) for wireshark on my system but did find the references to it on www.freshports.org. So, I downloaded the pre-compiled package for wireshark from freebsd.org and installed wireshark that way. Now, when I try to start the program, I get the following error message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libnetsnmp.so.10 not found, required by wireshark I know that this error is coming from the linker. However, I'm not sure how to fix it because I checked and the net-snmp port is loaded on my system. How do I get this shared object so that I can use wireshark? By the way, I didn't do a force install even if some dependencies are absent. I simply did pkg_add wireshare-xxx. I actually had to install a few extra packages that were lacking on my system for the pkg_add to work.

Hi,
HISADDR is never offered in the transaction.
the if for ppp looks like {registered addresss private address }
The transaction should contain 2 registered addresses which are MYADDR and

The latter is never offered. Ever.
I need to find a way to make either ppp renegotiate the addresses or get
dhclient to do it at link up.
TCPdump only works on routable addresses at this point my end thinks it has
a real HISADDR when it has a private addr, you end up with routing
conflicts because his end is trying to route to my end of the pipe which
has a completly different address.
Windows which uses dhcp with it's ppp implementation has to renegotiate as
well.
BSD ppp has the dhcp client inbuilt.

I seriously doubt you'll be able to get dhcp client to work that way unless
you apply some really ugly hacks to it. :) ppp uses IPCP. See link for
more details:
http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/IPCP.htm
Nobody on this list can really guess very well at what your setup is. If
you're looking for more specific advice, we need something to work with.
Is this PPOE? Dial-up? Do the logs show anything? What does your ppp.conf
look like? When you ppp manually and connect, are you able to get a
renegotiation with 'add! default HISADDR'? (I'm pretty sure it's a '!' for a
forced renegotiation if_exist, anyway).
I've had my share of brain-dead ISP techs too. If it's not on the
flow-chart they follow when they're talking to you, they're completely lost.
It's almost funny. :)

To reprogram and reset them, I need their IPs so that I can get into them via a telnet or Web interrace. I could scan for the devices' addresses, but this would take months.

Is there any already-existing method for removing empty dirs through periodic?
Hello, A bit of backstory...I'm running motion (motion.sourceforge.net) on a machine connected to three analog IR cameras through three bktr cards in order to keep an eye on our vehicles. We've had problems with stereos stolen, tires cut, etc. motion is configured to write files out to the apache22 DocumentRoot, which makes it easy to view the videos. I've even got Apache doing neat things with HTMLTable, FancyIndexing, SuppressRules and CSS to make it not look horrible, but that's besides the point. The cameras write out their videos to subdirs like so: year/month/day/camera-#/hh-mm-ss.avi. This setup eats disk space fast. I've been using the clean-tmps daily periodic to remove all files older than seven days from the video location, which takes care of the space issue, but there's one more little issue. It leaves a lot of empty directories. I could just write a cron entry to take care of empty directories, but I'm hoping there's something I'm missing and there's a way to remove empty directories from the locations specified in daily_clean_tmps_dirs. If there's not, would this be a useful feature to add to the clean-temps daily script?
