Re: Network storage

2007-05-25 Thread John Levine
What options do I have of using a network storage device such as Buffalo
TeraStation? I can access it from Windows via network share or via FTP
protocol. How can I access this device from FreeBSD?

Use mount_smbfs to mount Windows network shares.

If you install amavisd-new from the ports, does it have an option for

If there is no option, SA is NOT installed.

 Are you loading the glx module in xorg.conf?

The first command was just to show that with the nv driver X didn't hang,
while the second command, using nvidia driver, caused a segmentation fault.

I suppose this error means I will not have OpenGL under the nv driver, but
there are other drawbacks of using these instead of the nvidia driver, so I
don't care. For instance, with the nv driver I get the desktop at most at
1/4 the maximum available resolution.

Thanks anyway.

Re: amavisd-new spamcontroll problem

What is amavisd-new?

Amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between mailer (MTA) and content 
checkers: virus scanners, and/or SpamAssassin. It is written in Perl for 
maintainability, without paying a significant price for speed. It talks to 
MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. Best with Postfix, 
fine with dual-sendmail setup and Exim v4, works with sendmail/milter, or 
with any MTA as a SMTP relay. The best thing in Amavisd-new is that it has 
SpamAssassin integrated. In the case of Postfix you can only have one 
additional transport method defined. If you used this method only for 
anti-virus filtering with amavisd (or amavis-perl) you could implement 
anti-spam filtering as Simple content filtering described in FILTER_README 
file.



The best thing in Amavisd-new is that it has SpamAssassin integrated

might be a bit off here, but I'm sure some of you have experiences with

should be of good quality and be robust)

- has such a toner, *that can be refilled cheaply*
- prints in good quality, speed and noise is not that important
- should work under FreeBSD / Linux, not just under Windows

As for the price, I'm thinking of 100 000 HUF (about 400 EUR) as *very*

all...I color laser printer would be cool if this amount of money is 
sufficient for this, but a BW one is ok, too.


My suggestion would be a used HP LaserJet 4050, preferably with a JetDirect 
network interface.  I've used them as network printers for FreeBSD with 
excellent results, they're built well and cheap to run. Have not tried toner 
refilling, though.


You could probably buy a color laser with mostly-empty starter toner at 
this price, but replacing supplies could cost as much or more than the 
printer.




I just purchased a Brother-2070N that works fine.  $130.oo from
Costco with a 1500 page toner cartdridge.  It has a network
interface built in too.

Very often ad4s1b will be the swap and ad4s1c the full slice.

That is not an absolute rule, but it is very much recommended (at
least for ad4s1c) to keep it equivalent to the full slice.

but there is ad4s1 (without [a-g]) - isn;t that the full slice? or ad4s1

because df shows mounted disks, and fstab what to mount. neither of them affect
b (usually swap) or c (as per Olivier below).

you can see b by using the right command, for example, swapinfo:

$ swapinfo
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/ad0s1b.eli   41943040  4194304 0%


( mine has .eli @ the end because it's an encrypted swap device).

 Very often ad4s1b will be the swap and ad4s1c the full slice.
 
 That is not an absolute rule, but it is very much recommended (at
 least for ad4s1c) to keep it equivalent to the full slice.

indeed :) gstat shows them anyway because they are part of the GEOM subsys - u
just need the right tool  to see them.

It sounds to me like cups was installed via a package or previous ports 
tree, and through some action the gnutls port was upgraded causing the 
libgnutls.so.13 library to vanish. Since cups is dynamically linked to 
the old version of the library, and no intervening actions have been 
made to point it to the right library, it barfs when you try to run it 
because a library it requires at runtime is missing. I think the best 
solution at this point would be to rebuild cups from the ports tree so 
it will link to the correct gnutls library.

Raid Controller

2007-05-25 Thread Lucien Werner

Hi,

I am building a file server off freeBSD, and am wondering if my sata raid
controller is supported by the OS.  I have the Addonics *4 Port RAID 5 /
JBOD SATA II PCI Controller (ADSA4R5) controller host.  The chipset is
Silicon Image Sil 3124.  If this raid card is not supported, can I install
drivers once the system is running?  Where would I find them for freeBSD?

Thanks

 the HP's would print envelopes better than the Brother.
 
 I haven't found any printer that really works well with envelopes
 (unless you count some Pitney Bowes printers that are designed
 specifically for printing high volumes of flyers, envelopes and
 brochures).

An original Apple Stylewriter 1200 was exceptional at envelopes. The
printer most closely resembled the wringer on my grandmother's classic
Maytag washer when I was a kid. Straight path, no bend, printer was
about 3 thick.

Have been feeding about 1500 envelopes per year between a pair of HP-990
and HP-970 inkjets. The older 970 is faster but doesn't fully release
the envelope on eject and will wad it up if one doesn't pull it out
before the next starts. The 990 often pauses before starting, then
spends extra time with optical sensors looking for page edges. And about
half the time pulls a #10 envelope thru cocked at an angle. I use them
anyway.

Recently the 990 feed screwed up to the point it was not usable. Took it
out to the garage and blew it out with compressed air. Didn't find any
smoking guns so I didn't have much hope, but that did the trick.

 Have not been terribly happy with HP inkjets and my statement above  
 is based on the apparent observation the HP inkjet crew has been  
 designing lasers lately.
 
 I have an HP Photosmart 7360 that I like, largely because I don't use it
 very much, and it's designed so that it can through long periods of
 inactivity without clogging the nozzles.

In the HP print driver there is an option deep in the settings for
black only. The default setting mixes color with black to print text.
Black text looks awful if the color cartridge is empty, but perfectly
good if you select the black only option. One thing I'm not happy
about is that the printer flat out won't work without a color cartridge,
no matter that I'm only printing black. Had an empty color cartridge go
bad and the printer quit. Since then I've collected empties from friends
to keep around so that the printer will still run if it decides the
color cartridge must be replaced again.

The 3124 is listed as supported in the ad manpage. However, in general

with at least the 3112 and the 3114.

I recommend some Googling on the specific situation with the 3124.

Managing USB device names

2007-05-25 Thread Chris Kottaridis
I am using USB to connect an external disk drive. It seems to get
assigned a different device name when it connects in. The names seem to
cycle through /dev/da* where * is changing on each disconnect and
reconnect.

With this going on I can't add a /etc/fstab entry.

Is there a tool/package that can manage things so that when I plug in
the device it will get mounted to a specific directory without manual
intervention ?

The supported hardware list is here:

But I'll tell ya' the SiL sata chips are junk.  FreeBSD will 
recognize and run with them, but under heavy IO will crash, corrupt

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

2007-05-25 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

2007-05-25 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

Well, at least one solution to this is to use or try

I think these files were lost when upgrading os.
I will search these from another freebsd box.


They may be not lost but unreachable due to incorrect module search 
path. Try something like `kldload /boot/kernel/netgraph.ko`.


If it will work, then you may be needed to update your /boot/loader.rc 
from the /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc.


I had alike problem with modules loading on several boxes after several 
source upgrades and I have fixed it in a such way.

problem with 14tech mouse

Hi
I have an A4Tech mouse Model: 2X office 7k, its a usb mouse but it have an
adapter so I pluged it into the ps/2 port, I used a Ps/2 mouse so I didnt
make any changes in the configuration, the problem is that when X starts,
the mouse is uncontrolable, it doesnt move. Here is the Xorg.0.log (last
lines)

Maybe I have should test it using the usb port but I dont have any free usb

GEOM_LABEL can help a lot here.

I have a USB stick which contains a UFS file system created with:

# newfs -L GKER /dev/da0s1a

Now if geom_label.ko is loaded and this USB disk is attached, the
GEOM_LABEL support creates a special /dev node at `/dev/ufs/GKER':

: kobe kernel: umass0: JetFlash Mass Storage Device, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.41, 
addr 2 on uhub4
: kobe kernel: umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
: kobe root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x058f product 0x6387 bus uhub4
: kobe kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0

: kobe kernel: da0: 979MB (2007038 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 979C)
: kobe kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1a is ufs/GKER.

# ls -ld /dev/ufs/GKER
crw-r-  1 root  operator  -   0, 176 May 26 04:31 /dev/ufs/GKER
#

The device node at `/dev/ufs/GKER' is directly mountable:

# mount -o ro /dev/ufs/GKER /mnt/flash
# mount | fgrep /mnt/flash
/dev/ufs/GKER on /mnt/flash (ufs, local, read-only)
#

Using GEOM_LABEL support and the geom_label.ko kernel module, you can
assign names to your filesystems which persist across mount operations,
so it will be easier to mount them at predictable places.

Giorgos

  Sounds like you don't the right refresh settings for your monitor.
  Double check the refresh rates you choose in configuring X and the
  resolutions too.

 Hi, thanks for the reply

 Is that reason to hard freeze the machine? I'll check the monitor
manual
 and set manually the refresh settings for the monitor.

 Thanks

 Hello,

 I added the HorizSync and VertRefresh to the correct values present in
the
 monitor manual. Removed Glcore and dri and made sure glx is enabled. I
also
 tried to set NvAgp to 0 (just in case) and still the same result: green
 with
 black strips screen + hard crash on the machine (keyboard locks don'tt
 answer too).

 Any more tips on this one?

 Thanks!

I'll be where you're at in a few hours (need to backup Linux data
and
install FreeBSD on desktop) -- I just bought a 8800 GTS too.

We'll see what happens..

Any error messages on the console or Xorg.0.log though?

-Garrett



Hi Garret,

Nothing that I can see. Unfortunatly since the machine just crashes I can't
see the actual error in Xorg.log.

But im optimistic, I've seen many people on mailing lists claiming they have
a 8800 GTS and running freebsd. I've mailed some persons asking for
directions and xorg.conf/any other tricks.

Regards,

 I think these files were lost when upgrading os.
 I will search these from another freebsd box.
 
 They may be not lost but unreachable due to incorrect module search 
 path. Try something like `kldload /boot/kernel/netgraph.ko`.
 
 If it will work, then you may be needed to update your /boot/loader.rc 
 from the /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc.
 
 I had alike problem with modules loading on several boxes after several 
 source upgrades and I have fixed it in a such way.

Installing CURRENT from STABLE

2007-05-25 Thread Daniel Molina Wegener

Hello,

   I want to contribute with FreeBSD.

   I have installed STABLE on one disk, I use STABLE to work,
but I want to install CURRENT to begin with small contributions 
with code.

   How can I install CURRENT from my STABLE installation, I mean 
work on FreeBSD using the STABLE install and test the CURRENT 
install on a diferent partition. Can I do that?

   I've tried to get working CURRENT, but I get compile errors.
On STABLE I have gcc 4.2 to compile CURRENT and a shell script
that does the next job:
---8--
export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/work/FreeBSD/obj
export PREFIX=/work/FreeBSD
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc42
export CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++42
export DESTDIR=/work/FreeBSD/build
export TARGET=i386
make $*
---8--

I'm right?, or I need to know something more? 

Thanks...

Best Regards,

You are not right; FreeBSD bootstraps its own compiler, and in fact
cannot usually be built with a non-standard compiler (even if it is
based on the same gcc version) because of FreeBSD extensions.

Just build world as you normally would.
