If I were you, I would upgrade to FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE, then to
RELENG_6.2 or RELENG_6, 5.2.1 is too slow and not supported anymore.

c_icap port

2007-07-05 Thread Peter Boosten
Hi all,

I'm experimenting with the c_icap port, but I cannot seem to get it
running with clamav support (it crashes on the clamav plugin).

Anyone got this running successfully?

I'm running 6.2 patchlevel 5.

TIA

  Actually perl has a lot of problems too.  One of the biggest is that
  perl script writers always seem to think like you, in that perl is
  consistent across all platforms.
  
  The biggest problems I've seen with perl scripts are when people use
  perl extensions that are not on the system.  You then have to go find
  the extension they use and very few of the perl script writers seem
  to be smart enough to put a section at the beginning of their scripts
  that define the CPAN location of the particular extensions they are
  using.  The second biggest problem is perl script writers using
  constructs that are valid in Perl 5.6 and later but not valid in
  Perl 5.0   I don't know how many times I've wanted to strangle
  someone when trying to run a perl script under Perl 5.0 that had
  ONE single friggin statement in the entire thousand line script that
  isn't valid under 5.0 but is under 5.6  And I've also run across
  a number of Perl extensions that won't run under 5.0 as well, even
  though the authors are supposed to regression test under 5.0
 
 I was under the impression that Perl 5.6.0 was released on 2000-Mar-22,
 while Perl 5.000 was issued on or about 1994-Oct-17. For the life of
 me, I cannot comprehend why anyone would be using such an antiquated
 version.

I should have said the perl 5.0 family.  Including 5.004 which is still
being maintained by the Perl maintainers.  Perl 5.005-04 just came out
in 2004 by the way.  perl 5.6.2 came out in Nov 2003.

 I have a rather limited knowledge of Perl;

That's apparent.

 however, I am not
 going to be bothered regression testing it under a seven year old
 obsoleted version. 

There were major structural changes in perl 5.0 and 5.6  The changes
going from 5.6 to 5.8 and 5.9 are much less.

You can take it as a given that anything that runs on perl 5.005-04 
will run on all perl 5.0 versions, anything that runs on perl 5.6.2
will run on all 5.6 versions, etc.

The whole reason that the perl project maintains 5.0, 5.6, 5.8 and
so on is that they know that there's systems that have lots of tested
programs that have been tested under 5.0 and the system maintainers
have not yet gone through the process of testing all that software
on newer perl versions.  Despite what you probably believe, when
an organization has a server that is running fine, they are not
frothing at the mouth to upgrade it to the latest version.

This is why IMHO that perl is not a good choice to use for building
large systems, not because the perl maintainers don't understand
the importance of backwards compatability, but because too many 
programmers like yourself simply don't.

If I was building a system that was ONLY going to use perl and
the modules supplied with it, and NOT use any other 3rd party
modules, then I would consider using perl, there wouldn't be
anything wrong with it.

But most of the perl scripts out there use many 3rd party modules
(and I understand why, it saves them time) and that is where you have
the problem, is with those.

 I believe that FreeBSD-3.4 was released around
 12/21/1999 or there about. Should we also be testing against that
 version also?
 

I wasn't talking about 1999 software I was talking about 2004
software.

Lost SSH X1 Forwarding with Xorg 7.2

2007-07-05 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi,

A nice *feature* that I just noticed, I apologize if it has been
mentionned earlier.

xorg 7.2 tends to install all the components in /usr/loca insteal of
the traditional /usr/X11R6.

But sshd is still expecting xauth to be in /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth; so
sshd_config has to be modified to reflect the fact that xauth new path
is /usr/local/bin/xauth.

So the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config should be adapted to reflect this
change...

Best regards,

Olivier

Re: Fwd: Samba NetBios

Dear all,

The idea is to share it over a local area network.

In order for the LAN to browse the network NETBIOS seems to be a problem.
AFAIK when one sends a netBIOS packet an ip is embedded and the response is

be sent.
I hope this information was sufficient

hi Gabor,
are you trying to share over SMB between the jails?
between the hosts and the jails?
you may want to explain your plans... using NAT for netbios seems a bit
overkill to me, unless you plan to send SMB packets over the larger
internet...which in itself seems a bad idea.

If you only need SMB across different LAN segments, setup WINS server(s)
(MS or

RE: How does one start mysql after installing from ports

2007-07-05 Thread Johan Hendriks


To autostart mysql at boot add this to /etc/rc.conf
mysql_enable=YES

Add this to /etc/rc.conf to direct to use location where there is a large
enough free disk space
to hold your databases
mysql_dbdir=/usr/local/mysql

To start or stop mysql server do this
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start
/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server stop

Better is to use /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql start cq stop

You have to tell mysql to create its internel control db
by running this command one time first before trying to create databases.
mysql_install_db --user=mysql

If you did use /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql start, the above is not needed, it 
will do it automaticly if it does not find any database at startup.

To verify mysql is operational issue these commands
mysqladmin version
mysqladmin variables

To start command line session with mysql server to
create a DB enter
mysql -u root

/boot/device.hints only work for some devices in FreeBSD 6.2?

2007-07-05 Thread Zhang Weiwu
Dear list

I followed documents I found on the Internet which says by
editing /boot/device.hints I can assign IRQ or disable devices, and I
tried to do so, modification in /boot/device.hint do have effect over
some device, for example:

hint.fdc.0.disable=1

but some seetings do not have effect, e.g.

hint.uhci.0.disable=1

No matter what I set to uhci (irq, disable, port, at etc), none of them
works, next time the OS start it will always discover this device and
assign the same irq, same port:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dmesg | grep hci
uhci0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller port 0x9000-0x901f irq 11 at 
device 6.2 on pci0
uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller on uhci0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ 

Where can I get knowledge of how device.hints works? e.g. maybe it can
only work with device that is not managed by a PNP BIOS or maybe it only
manage ISA devices but not PCI devices?

I have googled around and discussion around the the topic of PNPxxx
cannot assign resouce mostly happen in 2002 ~ 2005, they have suggested
not to use PNPBIOS option in kernel, which I didn't use at all and
cannot see references to this kernel option (so should be a removed
option). Others on the forums suggested (in 2003) that I should disable
PNP feature in BIOS, which is impossible for me because my old IBM
Thinkpad don't offer such config option (the only config option had been
change system date/time and start-up-sequence). Even if it doesn't
affect the use of the system I'd like to know a bit about the background
knowledge. At least two devices on my FreeBSD doesn't work, the COM port
and the second PCMCIA slot (anything on that slot doesn't work), though
I don't think the two devices are related to this kernel message.

 but apparently the packet needs to be altered too in order for a response to
 be sent.

Hi Gabor,
I dont recall ever doing NAT+netbios myself - maybe just too lazy to work
around all this ;). 

What i've done with no problem is to use WINS (or /mumble/mubmle/lmhosts :) to
route the packets from 172.20.25/24 to the 10.0.0./24 subnet, and back. Well,
normal TCP/IP routing for routing, and then WINS/LMHOST to solve the issue that
the normal Netbios name discovery broadcasts wont reach other subnets. 

I dont think i've actually done it with jails , but it works with SMB over VPN
links to the other side of the world (it makes you cry, though, slow as a
dead snail) and different VMNets in VMWare hosts and the outside LAN.

Apologies for not actually proposing a solution to your problem... :-P

  hi Gabor,
  are you trying to share over SMB between the jails?
  between the hosts and the jails?
  you may want to explain your plans... using NAT for netbios seems a bit
  overkill to me, unless you plan to send SMB packets over the larger
  internet...which in itself seems a bad idea.
 
  If you only need SMB across different LAN segments, setup WINS server(s)

Hello Zhang,

Those messages are completely harmless (as you have surely already
read, resources can't be assigned because certain driver(s) are already
using them). There is no elegant way to disable them AFAIK.

The fact that your devices are not working properly is not related to
them but to something else in your installation.

bge NIC not supporting 1000baseTX

2007-07-05 Thread Tek Bahadur Limbu
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

I have a problem with my bge0 (BCM5750A1 NetXtreme) NIC card which is 
integrated in my Dell 600SC machine.  This machine is running on FreeBSD-6.2 
(i386).

For some reasons, the bge0 NIC interface does not seem  to support 1000baseTX 
settings.

When the NIC card is set at either 10/100 baseTX,  the bge0 interface shows an 
active state.  However, when I type the following command: 

ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseTX

the status of the bge0 NIC card shows: no carrier

Does that mean that this bge0 NIC card does not support speeds of 1000baseTX or 
do I have to tweak some kernel or sysctl settings?

Thanking you

Thanks for pointing out which TFM to read, I am feeling much more
welcomed than if someone just drop me a message to RTFM.

Are you referring to this section of device.hints(5)?

 They are most often used by ISA device drivers to specify where the
 driver will probe for the relevant devices, and what resources it will
 attempt to use.

My uhci0 on pci is using IRQ 11, so does my ep0 which is on 16-bit
PCMCIA slot. At first I thought this is impossible because I learnt ISA
interrupt share is difficult or impossible; but later I think, maybe my
ep0 is an ISA device (PC Card Type II slot is shrinked version of ISA
slot) but the PC Card bridget is on PCI, thus it can share interrupts.
The fact cbb0 sits on PCI (in dmesg) also looks like a prove of this.
Not sure if my understanding is correct.

cbb0: TI1250 PCI-CardBus Bridge mem 0x20822000-0x20822fff at device 2.0 on

Is the ICH9 ATA controller supported, and AHCI?
If not, are there patches against 6-STABLE, or when will it be supported?

  == is not a valid comparison operator for the test command.  It must
  be =.

 I was having the same problem as the OP. After Dan's post I did a make
 patch, then modified the configure script replacing two instances of ==
 with = on these two lines:

 25851:if test x$have_qt == xyes; then
 26033:if test x$have_qt == xyes; then

 After that I was able to make and install the port.

 gnome@ folks, should I submit a PR or will you guys just take this upstream
 directly?

Thanks ahze for commiting a fix for this. poppler-qt-0.5.9_2 now builds and 
installs without any modifications on my system.

As far as I know, anyone submitting patches or modifications to the

Of course, if people put Perl extensions under GPL the Perl maintainers
cannot help that.  I do not think, however, that any extensions that

Hi all,

I have a problem with my bge0 (BCM5750A1 NetXtreme) NIC card which is
integrated in my Dell 600SC machine.  This machine is running on
FreeBSD-6.2 (i386).

For some reasons, the bge0 NIC interface does not seem  to support
1000baseTX settings.

When the NIC card is set at either 10/100 baseTX,  the bge0 interface
shows an active state.  However, when I type the following command:

ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseTX

the status of the bge0 NIC card shows: no carrier

Does that mean that this bge0 NIC card does not support speeds of
1000baseTX or do I have to tweak some kernel or sysctl settings?

Thanking you

Nothing I said should in any way be construed to mean that Perl, or any

have gotten such an impression.  See above, where I point out that Perl
is dual-licensed -- *not* solely GPLed.  Also see the rest of what I said
in the earlier email, in text you cut out of the quote, indicating that
for my purposes Perl is installed under terms of the Perl Artistic

Actually both the machines are identical. I had connected both NIC cards

installing 7 - snapshot iso gives cannot parse info file for XYZ distribution

2007-07-05 Thread Steve Franks

I'd like a functional 7.0 on my laptop, mainly since I have no
mission-critical data there (all in cvs), and the acpi support for
newer laptops in 6.2 is crap (tried. no fun.).  I can't seem to get a
usable system with the snapsot iso, however.  Lots of stuff gives
errors.  I burned 2 cd's (one cd-r, other cd-rw, different brands) on
2 different computers, so I presume it's not a burner issue, and I've
never had a problem with the drive on the laptop.

My current issue is needing the src dist to build the ndis wrapper for
may crappy wlan.

I'd be happy enough to get src from the ftp site, but so far as I can
tell, the only thing for 7.0 is the snapshot, no 7.0/src folder.

What's the 'right' way to do this?  I don't see much on it in the
handbook, but my experience with the handbook is I'm usually looking
in the wrong place, so I'm all ears for someone to set me straight.

  I can configure the interface at the command line if I do a ifconfig

 I haven't played with if_lagg yet, but you should be able to use the 
 cloned_interfaces knob in /etc/rc.conf to create the interface. e.g.:
 
 cloned_interfaces=lagg0
 ifconfig_em3=up
 ifconfig_em7=up
 ifconfig_lagg0=laggproto lacp laggport em3 laggport em7 10.184.1.19 \
   netmask 0x
 
 if_lagg(4) mentions this briefly (at the end before the examples)

This last bit, of course, was the key to the whole thing.

I don't know how many times I looked at the man page without seeing
that.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Hello,

I have an Intel HDA card too, I'm using 6.2-STABLE, where the
driver of 7.0-CURRENT from where has been merged into 6.2.

It works fine... try updating the source tree with csup or

The driver is snd_hda, with snd_hda_load=YES in boot loader
may work.

OSS sometimes isn't a good options, I think that HDA matches the
case...

rather than educational :-) On one machine, with recent video card, I plan 
to install glest for him. Another machine has P-III and Matrox 8 Mb. Is 
there anything peaceful but dynamic enough for an older video card?

Thank you in advance!
Andriy

Sport game (soccer, etc.) car race games?

Even older fight games were not so bloody.

I won't give name because I don't know names much. If you target games
that came out around year 2000, they should work well on your PIII,
and you may find them floating around.

Bests,

Two things have come out of Berkeley, Unix and LSD.
It is uncertain which caused the other.

Steve,
which 'tablet pc'? you may want to ask in [EMAIL PROTECTED] - i've seen several 
threads on the subject there.

In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a

I am not 8 years old anymore, so I cannot say what your son would
like but should be suitable for your computers.  I personally like
atris  xpuzzletama, my sister likes xjewel more -- all three are
tetris like in one way or other.

Oh, there is also koth ( scorched3D) which takes^Wtests patience 
aiming skills.  I remember a Mac version (around 1994-1997) being
not so hard.
