Re: url encoding a string with base system tools
In the last episode (Sep 29), Aryeh Friedman said: I am creating a new port and part of the install procedure is the install script needs to send some data to a web server in the form of http://.?X where XXX is the url encoded plain text (can include any ascii printable character) that needs to be sent. Since this for a port I want to do the plain to url encoded text with tools *ONLY* found in the base freebsd install (no ports). How would I do this? A google search for url encode sed returns some useful links, the best being http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2007/06/cf_through_a_commandline_interface_part_2_programm.html although I see there are two entries for tab, one just having a space, so you'll definitely want to test it out. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to restart a freezed tty?
Hi all, For some reason all the ttys are frozen up; I can switch between X and them back and forth but not between the ttys themselves using ALT+Fn. I tried killing them; they terminate and restart but still frozen. I don't believe the only way out is to restart the system. How to make ttys behave normally? I'd appreciate any idea.

Creating Custom Install Media
Hello, I'm wanting to make a custom install cd that will load up on the serial console, the documentation says all that is required is the addition of a file named boot.config with the single line /boot/loader -h in it. However it doesn't actually say how to then create a bootable cd image! I'm assuming the boot strap used is /boot/cdboot, but what other settings are used when creating the bootable cd image? Also does anyone know how to create one using OSX? It doesn't have mkisofs but hdiutil can create all sorts of images, including iso, however it seems to create joilet extensions differently and the filenames are all uppercase..

Re: File size discrepancies
du doesn't count in bytes; it counts in disk blocks or KB. A 12KB difference is probably just due to better packing of directories in your newly-created tree as compared to your orignal one. To figure out where the difference is, run du -a in both trees and diff the two outputs. What I did to try and track down the problem: du -a ./dirA | sort -n dirA.tmp; du -a ./dirB | sort -n dirB.tmp; diff dirA.tmp dirB.tmp; # Exerp of the diff output: 554372./images 554362./images 17007468 ./video 17007466 ./video The size discrepancy is the size of the directories, not the files contained within those directories. To be sure I ran: diff -r dirA/images dirB/images; There appears to be no difference in the contents. du doesn't count in bytes; it counts in disk blocks or KB. A 12KB difference is probably just due to better packing of directories in your newly-created tree as compared to your orignal one. So, the size of a directory itself can differ when the contents is identical? This is news to me.

sshd+pam problem on a fresh 6.2-RELEASE (amd64) install
On a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2 (amd64), I've run into a problem with sshd and PAM. When the box first boots up, I cannot ssh in. I am immediately disconnected. If I look in /var/log/auth.log, I see: Sep 29 03:20:47 pflog sshd[68798]: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_opieaccess.so found Sep 29 03:20:47 pflog sshd[68798]: fatal: PAM: initialisation failed The /etc/pam.d/sshd file is proper (verified via mergemaster). If I comment out the lines for the opie and opieaccess module, it fails on pam_login_access.so instead, with the same error. I also used the default sshd_config, thinking maybe my customized one was causing a problem. It had the same problem, however, and does this with or without UsePAM yes in sshd_config. Now, here's the weird part: if I restart sshd, it works fine. As a workaround, I can do something ugly like /etc/rc.d/sshd restart in another rc script, but would obviously like to avoid this and find the root cause. Any ideas? I tried doing an ldd on /usr/lib/pam* inside the /etc/rc.d/sshd script, but the output is identical when it starts up on boot as when I restart it.

Reboot with x86 partition 8. Make installkernel/installworld mergemaster on x86 partition No need to do 7 and 8 -- just reboot here. You'll end up with an amd64 system trying to run a bunch of i386 ports -- probably best to have temporarily commented out large parts of /etc/rc.conf around step (6) to keep things a little more sane. Or just reboot to single user mode, and do all of the ports recompiling in single user. 9. Now the non-ports section OS is amd64 10. pkg_del /var/db/pkg/*; rm -rf /usr/ports/ /usr/local 11. Reftp ports.tar.gz and rebuild all the ports (I have about 10 top level ports installed the rest are dependicies so this straight forward) No need to blow away /usr/ports -- it's the same for all architectures after all, plus you would have to re-download all the source tarballs too. No need to completely blow away /usr/local either -- unless you've got a lot of other software not installed from ports. Not blowing away /usr/local means that your config files, web content etc. should still be there, and usually there's little or nothing to change in that sort of stuff between i386 and amd64. cd /var/db/pkg pkg_delete * cd /usr/ports/foo/bar make install etc... Other things to consider -- are you running any databases -- MySQL, Postgres, LDAP, that sort of thing? In which case you should dump out the DB contents to some device independant format before you start. I can't say for certain, but it's quite possible that there will be architecture dependant binary data structures used by that sort of program, which could mean you would have to reload your data into a fresh install of the application. So does it work? Don't see why not. The plan looks quite workable to me. This is a major operation however, and will take all day even if it goes smoothly. Plus you're at quite high risk of rendering your system so completely banjaxed that your only recourse is to recover from backup. So make sure you've got good backups.

At this level I would like to ask FreeBSD some 2nl level questions intented to focalize my research 1. Is there an idea of what % of the markets share is owned by FreeBSD when comparing iwth others O/S such as Red Hat , Ubunto ? I know this is a very open question what an iniitial idea would be helpful to me. 2. Usually in what applications are runned over FreeBSD ?

Is gmirror safer with load algorithm than round-robin?
List, I've been running into problems with gmirror and weak SATA controllers that appear to not handle the rapid simultaneous traffic to different disks.(Causes crashes.) I've seen other people have had these problems as well, and was wondering if anyone here knows if I could expect a difference between the load and round-robin algorithms with regards to this problem. Looking at gstat I see that with round-robin the reads to the mirror are distributed half and half to each provider, while with load I'm able to track the switching back and forth between the providers with the naked eye so to speak.

Can you post your dmesg(8) from /var/run/dmesg(8) so that we can see your SATA controller information?

Bridging interfaces
Hello, I seem to be having some trouble bridging interfaces in FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. What I have are two interfaces rl0 - 192.168.2.2 sis0 - 192.168.1.2 and a bridge I've set up following the pages in the handbook. However frames don't seem to be routed from one interface to the other. The internet gateway for the networks lives on 192.168.1.1 and I am able to reach the internet from boxes on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet but not from the other. Tracing the route from a box on the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet the connection times out on the freebsd box, orinoco.

Re: sshd+pam problem on a fresh 6.2-RELEASE (amd64) install
Any ideas? I tried doing an ldd on /usr/lib/pam* inside the /etc/rc.d/sshd script, but the output is identical when it starts up on boot as when I restart it. No missing libraries/etc. Problem solved! In going from 32-bit to 64-bit, my login.conf really needed to change. I had a default memory limit of 24MB. Which the sshd user was exceeding at boot time. I recompiled openpam with debugging enabled, and saw this message in /var/log/debug.log: Sep 29 22:03:03 pflog sshd[39515]: in openpam_dynamic(): /usr/lib/pam_opieaccess.so: /usr/lib/pam_op ieaccess.so: mmap of entire address space failed: Cannot allocate memory That's when I had a major duh moment and realized I should probably re-examine my login.conf settings.

After the installation of nss_ldap the slapd server takes several decades of seconds to start. But it starts well and after it has initiated itself, I can do on the server a simple 'slapcat' and receive. But I can't access the LDAP server. Doing an 'id testuser' results in 'id not found'. On the console, I receive massively errors like this: TCP: [127.0.0.1]:389 to [127.0.0.1]:63896 tcpflags 0x18PUSH,ACK; tcp_do_segment: FIN_WAIT_2: Received data after socket was closed, sending RST and removing tcpcb Well, I checked sockstat for a listening slapd and I found slapd listening on both loopback, local NIC adn on both ports 389 and 636. So what is wrong ? Regards, a desperate Oliver Brian A. Seklecki wrote: FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x work fine with both PAM and NSS - LDAP w/ TLS (PKI). All other services (RADIUS, Apache ((mod_ldap, mod_pam_auth), PHP, interactive shell, SFTP, etc.) can be tied into LDAP either directly or via PAM. As for password change, I don't know if anyone has a passwd(1) binary that properly changes the LDAP password attribute -- if there is and its out there, it requires ACL insanity. Like Oracle, you can either understand OpenLDAP ACLs, or you have real work to do :} Check the nss_pam.conf and nss_ldap.conf configs in local/etc/* -- set to debug 1 to get debugging info.

Is it possible to view jpegs inline using the Mutt MUA? If so, I would appreciate being directed to a site that would have that information.

using the date command
Hello all; I have built 4 machines and installed FreeBSD 6.0 in one and 6.2 in the other three. They are all using the wrong date and time. The last one (v6.2 on ecs mb with AMD64) is the worst. It is telling me today is Jan 3 2003 PST (I am on the west coast and it is still PDT). These machines are all web servers. So up until now this has not been a big issue but a configuration of software is complaining that the files it creates have an older date than the files in the software bundle, it is time to do something about it. So I am looking at man date and as I interpret the instructions #date ccyymmddHHMM.ss (20079282027.00 or 200709282027.00 for instance) is supposed to set the clock to the current date. But when I run a command with the current date and time in the above format I get the complaint that the format string is wrong. Can anyone be kind enough to give me a quick tutorial on this? I will be looking seriously into using NTP, but for now I need to get the date straight. I have entries in apache error log gener ated by php scripts that are supposed to use its date command. Thanks in advance for assistance. Jeff K ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
