max resolution with vesa driver on amd64 system running FreeBSD 6.2
Hi folks, I'm having problems with my monitor on freebsd. The vesa driver uses 1024X768 while the monitor is capable of doing 1680x1050. Observed here as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/5801 Using the nv driver is no option because it freezes my system and I have to turn the power down to start booting the system again. Am I in a problematic situation now because: 1) Vesa isn't capable of using higher resolutions? 2) I can use NV because the driver isn't ok on my amd64 system 3) Nvidia doesn't provide a FreeBSD version of their nvidia driver on AMD64 based systems?

Are all three of ad4s1 to ad4s3 now in use for XP and Gentoo? Do you have other 'logical drives' already in ad4s4 that can't go elsewhere?

Is there anything I forgot/did wrong to get into this problem ? or is it just that these controllers are so crappy that explain the corruption ?

Can cron e-mail HTML?
Hello! I have a script launched from cron every morning, that gets certain data over the Internet from a remote computer, compares the new data with that from the previous day, and outputs the difference (if any). I'm relying on the fact, that cron e-mails me the output of each job. However, I modified the script recently to produce the output (if any) in HTML, rather than in plain-text format. The HTML arrives by e-mail just as well as plain text used to, but no e-mail program will render it as such, because neither the cron(8), nor the mail(1), which cron uses to send e-mail, creates MIME messages... How can I force the ``Content-Type: text/html'' header without hacking cron's sources? I'd rather avoid poluting my script with e-mail sending code... Maybe, cron should apply file(1)-like logic to the e-mailed content? Thanks for any hints.

I rather think that there is a really serious lack of communications skills among many programmers. I find that often the simplest installations are overly complicated and convoluted, if you will. For example, I have been strugglling with the installation of CUPS. For some reason the CUPS metaport would not install. I finally decided to install only the cups-base and then the configuration and implementation were child's play. No need to install gnu-ghostscript of gutenprint or any of the other stuff - I just put the ppd file for my specific printer in the cups/ppd directory, tweaked the configuration and bingo. The same for OpenOffice.org... I had to figure out a way to simplify the installation and had no need to go through 12 hours of compilation from the source code. The binary was a snap, once I figured it out. Apache22 and Samba had me confused for a while, but with a little help from the mailing list I got straightened out and it all works like a charm. But the httpd -DNOHTTPACEPT remains a mystery; after removing the loader.config entry, I rebooted, checked the kldstat, found the module no longer loaded in the kernel but the ps waux | grep httpd still came up with -DNOHTTPDACCEPT. I did not do any further tweaking or make any changes to apache22 and now it boots correctly and the -DNOHTTPDACCEPT is no longer there. Now, wouldn't you say that is weird. But then, I do admit that I do not understand the system. However, I am the greatest fan of understanding you could find. That's why I ask questions that may seem strange at times. BTW, my advice to programmers and, for that matter, anyone in any kind of a project - think about the end user and how he will see the results of your works, how he will use it without having the creator's vision.

Thank you, Derek, but -- as I stated already -- I wanted to see, if this can be avoided... Since you posted your script, I'll comment on it. First of all, you don't need ksh for anything you are doing in this script. FreeBSD's /bin/sh is enough (we aren't Solaris :-) -- but is 9 times smaller here (amd64). Now, instead of redirecting each line of output into MAILFILE, then mailing, and removing it, you should be either outputing everything directly into mail: { cat $REPORT_LOG_HEADER echo$MAILFILE echo$MAILFILE echo BR BR $MAILFILE cat $REPORT_LOG_FOOTER } | $MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO or, if you want to use the temporary file, use exec to redirect into it _once_, instead of _on every line_: exec $MAILFILE cat $REPORT_LOG_HEADER printf \n \nBRBR\n $MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO $MAILFILE $RM $MAILFILE This may look nicer, but is not, because temporary files are nasty, and you need to be sure, that you remove them in case you are interrupted (trapping signals, etc.) I was surprised, one can not redirect into a pipe directly. The following did not work, as I expected, with neither /bin/sh nor /usr/local/bin/ksh93. The following, I thought, would be the same as my first example, only nicer-looking: exec | $MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO cat . But it is not.

OT: Does a low-cost, reliable switch exist?
I run a small network of under 20 clients. As such we don't have $500+ to drop on a Cisco switch. However the desktop consumer grade stuff is quickly turning me into an insomniac. I'm tired of being woke at 3:00 am to go fix network problems. Does anyone know if something like this exists? (see below) The dream: An ethernet switch that is, above all else, RELIABLE. I would sacrifice everything for 24/7 reliability. A switch that can operate for years without ever having to be power cycled, without ever locking up. A switch that won't lock up if a single client starts flooding it with bogus packets. A switch that won't try to 'auto-update' its onboard software. A switch that won't lock up if there is a short in a cable. A switch that won't lock up if two clients end up with the same MAC address. A switch that will facilitate the examination and editing of its routing tables, speed and duplex mode, as my experience with auto-negotiation casts a very dark shadow upon its reliability. A switch that can loose contact with a client and when it later regains contact, doesn't freak out and require a power cycle. A switch that, if it requires an online configuration interface, doesn't rely on the clients browser to have Java or JavaScript or Flash enabled, this utterly rapes universal accessability. A switch that doesn't try to sell itself on a bunch of bullshit features that nobody ever uses, shown surrounded by pictures of people holding a laptop on one knee while smiling cheek to cheek. A switch who's case doesn't look like a damn spaceship, with no ventilation - A rectangular steel case would be fine, thank you. A switch that doesn't require me to take out a second mortgage. I know this is asking a lot of a switch that doesn't cost 2 thousand dollars...but again I'll give up everything for reliability. I had thought about using a hub instead, but we have some pretty heavy internal traffic. Currently I'm using 3 Netgear GS108 Gigabit blue-box switches chained together for local traffic, with a FreeBSD server acting as the gateway to the outside world, running ipfw and natd. The switches eventually lock up. Sometimes they work for a day, a week, even a month without problems. Then at a random time of day or night, boom network goes down. It's not any individual defective switch as I've tried re-ordering them several times as well as testing them individually. The cables are all good and wired correctly. I've pulled my hair out trying to find what's wrong. I'm not sure I care anymore. I just need something stable enough that I can catch some sleep without this re-occurring nightmare. Is there hope?

We are not, as you can see from the variety of issues brought up. If you head to -hackers@ you may find just kernel developers,though :) I find that often the simplest installations are overly complicated and convoluted, if you will. We can all help by suggesting better ways of doing things. And/or spending time researching and devising new ways of making things better for everyone. For example, I have been strugglling with the installation of CUPS. For some reason the CUPS metaport would not install. I finally decided to install only the cups-base and then the configuration and implementation were child's play. then the issue most probably was with something other than just CUPS, but one of the components and their dependencies. No need to install gnu-ghostscript of gutenprint or any of the other stuff well, now you have the experience to know that you dont need to install the whole thing to have your system working the way you want.

It only takes an hour , tops 3, to build on a P4 3.0 GHz with HT , 1 GB RAM. I'll try to time it next time... The binary was a snap, once I figured it out. yes, learning to pick packages instead of building from ports is one of those oh,this is so great moments. :) Apache22 and Samba had me confused for a while, but with a little help from the mailing list I got straightened out and it all works like a charm. But the httpd -DNOHTTPACEPT remains a mystery ok - did you read the man pages about /boot/loader.conf ? did you search the web about how to use it? ; after removing the loader.config entry, I rebooted, checked the kldstat, found the module no longer WAD (Working As Designed) - if you don't tell the kernel to load a module via adding it to /boot/loader.conf, the kernel won't do it by itself. Pretty simple really. ( of course, this refers to modules NOT built into the kernel, and those that are not needed by other modules that *are* listed in loader.conf) loaded in the kernel but the ps waux | grep httpd still came up with -DNOHTTPDACCEPT. If Kernel does NOT have accf_http loaded, then apache will start with that parameter. Simple as that. In case you didnt come across this anywhere, you put in loader.conf information for the boot process to process @ start up. kernel hints, as well as kernel modules to load. Now, in your if you remove your entry and reboot, the kernel wouldnt find the instruction to load the module , so it wont do it. then apache starts, cant find accf_http in the kernel and it'll start up with the -DNOmumblemumble to prevent accessing code it isnt there in the kernel. I did not do any further tweaking or make any changes to apache22 and now it boots correctly and the -DNOHTTPDACCEPT is no longer there. Now, wouldn't you say that is weird. not at all. Re-read all the thread on this subject again, read about what kernel modules are and how they are used,etc. If you still have questions, But then, I do admit that I do not understand the system. Fixable too , to the level that you are interested to, of course - nobody expects you and every other user of FreeBSD to become kernel developers (although it'd be OK if you did :) ). Have you read the Handbook? it is installed by default (i think) in your Fbsd system under /usr/share/doc/handbook, and it's available in freebsd.org too. There are LOTS of man pages with excellent information. FreeBSD is probably the best documented OSS project of large size around. Beats most Linux documentation hands down, IMHO. The mailing lists are simply fantastic, and they all keep archives (as well as several independent sites archiving them too). Check out the list of different topics in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL (yes, part of the handbook), subscribe to as many topics you find interesting (email is cheap!) and invest some time in it. Or just browse the archives. Also, Dan Lagille maintains http://www.freebsddiary.org/ , a great site (some would call now it 'blog' though it's been around for longer than the term ;) ) with specific solutions to issues or things Dan has had to do with FreeBSD.
