java plugin in Firefox

2007-10-15 Thread Andriy Babiy
Hi everybody,

Following the instructions from the Handbook, I tried to set up the Java 
plug-in in Firefox. After the JRE has been successfully installed, the plug-in 
didn't appear in the browser. While trying to add the link per instructions, I 
found that there's no such a file libjavaplugin_oji.so; the path 
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/plugin/amd64/ns7 doesn't exist either. There's a 
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0 with bin, lib and man directories and lots of 
files in there, but there's no plugin directory. The installation of the 
plug-in doesn't look to be managed through the port settings. I had the same 
file set installed via both port and package - no plug-in file mentioned in the 
instructions. The page http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml 
indicates that amd64 platform is supported. I tried simple Java programs 
started from the console, and it worked fine. So, my problem is why the plug-in 
doesn't appear to be installed along the JRE installation?
Am I missing something or the plug-in isn't supported in amd64? Can anyone help 
me to fix this issue? It looks just strange, because everything found on Google 
was about proper linking to the plug-in file, but the file itself was always 
installed.

OT: Verilog

2007-10-15 Thread Gabor Kovesdan

Hello,

sorry for the ott-topic, but I suspect that there are a lot of IT people
between us, maybe some with hardware designing experiences as well... At
the uni, I have a task to implement an easy game for Xilinx Spartan III
in Verilog. In case somebody would be so kind to help me, please poke me
in private mail. It's an emergency, I have to complete it for tomorrow
and at the same time, I have to get prepared to 3 tests, as well. I
don't know how I will be able to survive this... :)
Thanks in advance.

SQUID 2.6 disk usage didn't grow HELP

2007-10-15 Thread Narek Gharibyan
I set squid 2.6 transparent proxy with default settings on P4 2000 RAM 512/
80GB HDD. I change only

 

cache_mem 128 MB

 

cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 40960 16 256

 

Squid works normally and do caching. It takes 300Mb RAM, and about 3GB HDD
space, but it DOESN'T use more space. Squid works about 15 days without any
restart and it use only 3GB space and the cache size didn't grow. Is it
normal? I want to use more HDD cache Please advice

 

Thank you in advance

Audio CD help

2007-10-15 Thread leegold
Hi,

This is probably going to basic stuff, sorry to bother.

I can not get Audio Cds to play. I'm using KDE.

During sysinstall FreeBSD accesses CDs OK. 

It's acd0 and is a DVD-RW. For now I just want to play Audio CDs. 

Is the problem it's not mounted? He's my info:

Listening ports - vpn, proxy + p2p.

2007-10-15 Thread Aminuddin
Hi,
I'm running a large scale OpenVPN + proxy services on 6.2, mostly users are
those using P2P clients such as emule and bittorrent protocols.

Connections are made as follows:

Users  Openvpn(rl0)  Socks5 (tun0)  Internet (rl0)

Most of them have no problem in downloading or uploading but none of them
are able to get high ID for emule and connectable status in the bittorrent
trackers.

All servers are configured with Firewall_enable=NO and when I run netstat
it will shows so many ports are connected BUT nmap says none of the ports
are open.

How do I get FreeBSD open and listen to those connections so that P2P
clients can broadcast and listen using the proxy? With firewall off, all
ports should be open but still p2p clients keep saying ports firewalled.

TIA.

adduser(8) doesn't know anything about NIS.  I don't know any

small enough that I don't bother.

What you want to do is move the users' entries from master.passwd into

How can I retrieve them.

The following comes from the handbook and works for me:

copy your master.passwd to /var/yp, i.e:

Edit the copy of master.passwd and exclude all irrelevant accounts

Then run:

Re: Audio CD help

leegold [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Hi,

 This is probably going to basic stuff, sorry to bother.

 I can not get Audio Cds to play. I'm using KDE.

Let me add a few comments after Pietro Cerutti's.

With the cdcontrol you will determine if your hardware is able to play
audio CDs. On (some?) PCs you have to connect the CD-ROM drive to your
sound card, I cannot count the number of times I forgetted to
reconnect this cable after an in-chassis intervention.

If you can play CDs with cdcontrol, it is likely that your preffered
CD-player cannot figure where to find the CD-rom device. It is fairly
common that CD-player applications expect to find a symbolic link
/dev/cdrom pointing to the actual CD-ROM controlling device. If there
is no such link on your system, it can easily be added. However, it is
not sufficient to

  # cd /dev; ln -s acd0 cdrom

because /dev is not a persistant filesystem (it is reinitialised across
reboots, because it is a *virtual* filesystem). To add the symbolic
link, you should edit the /etc/devfs.conf file (look at the line with
the word `cdrom' in it) and let the system notice your changes:

  # vi /etc/devfs.conf
  # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart

(If you are not comfortable with vi, try the easy editor `ee' instead:

  # ee /etc/devfs.conf

)

You might prefer trying to tell your preferred CD-player where it can
find the CD-ROM device, this can often be done with an `Edit
Preferences' dialog.

Right, if it happens.  If you deinstall the extensions and remove
the config files from the old installation, and let the new installation
do all its work of new config files and new extensions, I wouldn't
expect any httpd core dumps, though.

It's happened to me many times, but it was always due to leftovers
from a minor version increase via portupgrade, or the fact that I
had switched Apache from no-SSL to an SSL type, and the extensions
were compiled against the libraries for the former.

The other gotcha in relation to FBSD is the location of the extension
dir, and doubling of entries in extensions.ini, but I'm thinking a 
new installation would fix that problem.


As far as PHP goes, getting rid of short tags in the PHP code was
all we had trouble with when migrating 4.x-5.x, other than getting
my head around new OOP paradigms

I'm sorry, but I don't think you can get effective help from the
FreeBSD lists.  You will have to ask for specific guidelines and help
from your hosting provider.  Anything else will be guesswork and may
break without any sort of notice in the future, when your host decides

There are still a couple of things that you will need to do differently now 
that you are in an NIS environment.

*

  Every time you wish to add a user to the lab, you must add it to the 
master NIS server only, and you must remember to rebuild the NIS maps. If you 
forget to do this, the new user will not be able to login anywhere except on 
the NIS master. For example, if we needed to add a new user jsmith to the lab, 
we would:

  # pw useradd jsmith
  # cd /var/yp
  # make test-domain

  You could also run adduser jsmith instead of pw useradd jsmith.

 My real problem with nis is the fact the freebsd maps are not compatible

 Anybody know what to try next?
   
  
  Update, and no-joy: i've added Modes lines, tried different flags.
  Still, using the mga drivr gives a dark screen; only the vesa works.
  none of the xorg config toools work.  The Matroc Millennium G450

  same problem--way to dark--soI got this new card.
 
 I ran into a resolution problem with the xf86-video-mga-1.9.100 driver
 (http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20071014075931.3c5ec756.rpratt1950)
 and reverted back to xf86-video-mga-1.4.7 which was working okay.
 
 My card was a Matrox G400.  I've also done some searching but have not
 turned up anything helpful so far.  Maybe give the older driver a
 try and see if that works for you.
 


Hmm, and Hm. It just occured to me that I have no video mga 
in mykernel GENERIC.  I can't find mga.ko (or any other kernel
object file *anywhere*.  

Rebuilding my kernel is not a big deal.. Can you or anybody else
clue me in on this?  How do I revert back to the earlier mga
driver?  In other words: where is the  1.4.7 src.

A last tidbit is that while things DO load, the screen is almost
dark.  --My  CRT is in great shape.

thanks muchly,

 The following comes from the handbook and works for me:

 cp /etc/master.passwd /var/yp/master.passwd

 Edit the copy of master.passwd and exclude all irrelevant accounts
 (root,servers and so on)

 Then run:

 ypinit -m your-nis.domain

 
 So the message I'm getting here is that the procedure used to initially
 set up NIS is the same as that used to update NIS.  Further down that page,
 it claims that pw can be used to add users to an existing scheme
Reinitializing the maps like this should cause no problem, and you will
get all the new accounts.
I have not tried the update procedure from the handbook, I got stuck
with the linux client.

 27.4.8 Important Things to Remember

 There are still a couple of things that you will need to do differently now 
 that you are in an NIS environment.

 *

   Every time you wish to add a user to the lab, you must add it to the 
 master NIS server only, and you must remember to rebuild the NIS maps. If you 
 forget to do this, the new user will not be able to login anywhere except on 
 the NIS master. For example, if we needed to add a new user jsmith to the 
 lab, we would:

   # pw useradd jsmith
   # cd /var/yp
   # make test-domain

   You could also run adduser jsmith instead of pw useradd jsmith.
 /quote

   
This looks more or less similar to Linux procedures ( usually make -C
/var/yp), but as I said I have not tried this on FreeBSD.
 My real problem with nis is the fact the freebsd maps are not compatible
 with linux clients, and I can't seem to get the Makefile right...
 

 Ouch!  I'm ultimately planning to add a Linux client.  In theory, I can get
 by with just NFS for this particular application, but it would be better to
 have NIS as well.



   
Well I can tell you with certainty, it is not compatible out of the box,
and I have not managed to make it work (though I must admit I did not
put a lot of effort into this). Seems the exported master.passwd map
needs a filename change + internal changes, thus the NIS Makefile needs
to be modified. On the Linux side, the users are visible (e.g. you can
run id username and the user is there) but they cannot login.
If you Google FreeBSD NIS Server Linux Clients you will get some
patches for the NIS Makefile to make it Linux compatible. I was not
however successful with this. If you do try it and get it to work,
please report back.

Re: Dual Boot Vista - Large Sector Issue

2007-10-15 Thread compunction
The issue is not setting up a dual boot system.  The issue is FDISK
displaying an error relating to the new rules MS is using when setting up a
partition under Vista.  Based on the research covered here (
http://www.multibooters.co.uk/partitions.html) if you use the Vista
installer to create the partition it will be created using the new
rules.  Vista
is placing partitions on the hard drive using different starting and ending
positions from the recognized conventions.  So if I use the Drive Manager
in Vista to make free space to install FreeBSD, I am unable to install
because FDISK give me an error about the Vista partition not starting on a
sector boundary.

Rachie, I am curious if Partition Magic changed the partition back to the
standard conventions, or if your copy of Vista and factory installed and the
drive was setup under the standard conventions.

I am still left wondering if/when fdisk will support this new partition
layout?

Thanks,
Mark

That's different.  According to its manual page, I would expect you to
need the -y option to go with -Y.

 My network is also a home network, but the complications I get into
 are nothing short of amazing.

Nah.  It takes some time to set up, but it works very easily after
that.

 What you want to do is move the users' entries from master.passwd into
 your NIS master file, and rebuild the maps.  

 Do I also need to modify the copy of passwd or is master.passwd the only
 one that matters?

passwd gets generated automatically from master.passwd.  
For the main system files, see the manual for pwd_mkdb(8).
For the NIS versions, I don't remember the details offhand, but the
Makefile under /var/yp probably knows all the relevant magic.

NIS interoperability with Linux, was Re: Following directions doesn't seem to work: Adding users in NIS

Linux doesn't normally use master.passwd.  If I recall correctly, it
uses /etc/shadow instead (but I don't have such a box at hand right now
to check).  And yes, the internal format is different (and, again, I don't
remember details).

This conversion, however, sounds like an ugly hack.  I'm thinking a
*correct* (tm) solution would be a pluggable authentication module (pam)
that could interpret the master.passwd file properly.  This would also
depend on Linux supporting the cryptography method used to encrypt the
passwords (perhaps it does, but I'm not sure).

What I wasn't realizing was that NIS operated by simply propagating
versions of master.passwd (and maybe passwd); while this will certainly
be interoperable between FreeBSD (and I think OpenBSD) systems, it is
clearly a problem with Linux and probably other UNIX-like OS's.

Inner workings of turnstiles and sleepqueues

2007-10-15 Thread Ed Schouten
Hello,

For some reason, I want to understand how the queueing of blocked
threads in the kernel works when waiting for a lock, which is if I
understand correctly done by the turnstiles and sleepqueues. I'm the
proud owner of The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating
System book, but for some reason, I can't find anything about it in the
book.

Is there a way to obtain information about how they work? I already read
the source somewhat, but that shouldn't be an ideal solution, in my
opinion.

Yours,

It *could* be my CRT but it works on my 3 other KVM'd platforms 
flawlessly.  Besides, the reason I bought the new G450 was
because the  exact same thing was happening with my other v-card.


I tried mga and gathered the following data from the failure
dump.   [[X did work, but there was  this huge, dark band a
couple inches from the top (where the display was much lightr)
and after the drk middle band, the display was also light toward
the bottom.


Here is what I found after I did a shutdown now:



Requesting insufficient memory window!:  start 0xfd80 to 0x7ef size 
0x200
(EE) Cannnot find empty range to map base to
(II)  Module ramdac already built-in
(EE)  [drm] drmOpen failed  
(EE) DRM(0) [dm]  DRMScreenInit failed  .  Disabling DRI


Does this ring a bell among anybody who is familiar with xorg?
My thinking now is that something is wrong with  the video on the 
m'board; that both this new G50 and the last card were all right.

Any thoughts?

thanks,

Yet more New data. Missing ATI driver [??] (Was: Re: xorg driver bug)

Guys,

Has anybody with any Dell run into this before?  I just got
a new Matrox with 32M of video ram.  Run with the mga driver, X
comes up extremely dark.  If I change the driver to the vesa X
comes up with normal brightness but the resolution is terrible.  At
most 640x480.  tHis could be a hardware bug;I'm hoping it is
just not having selected the right driver.  

Anybody know what to try next?

   
 Update, and no-joy: i've added Modes lines, tried different
   flags. Still, using the mga drivr gives a dark screen; only the
   vesa works. none of the xorg config toools work.  The Matroc
   Millennium G450 is brand new, so doubt it's the card.  The previous
   card had the same problem--way to dark--soI got this new card.
   
  Some years ago, I had some similar problem with a Vistac monitor using
  nVidia (on Linux).  I found that it was the monitor not doing well in
  some resolutions or colour depths.  Changing the monitor solved the
  problem.
  
  I'd suggest you try with another monitor and see if it works.
 
 
   It *could* be my CRT but it works on my 3 other KVM'd platforms 
   flawlessly.  Besides, the reason I bought the new G450 was
   because the  exact same thing was happening with my other v-card.
 
 
   I tried mga and gathered the following data from the failure
   dump.   [[X did work, but there was  this huge, dark band a
   couple inches from the top (where the display was much lightr)
   and after the drk middle band, the display was also light toward
   the bottom.
 
 
   Here is what I found after I did a shutdown now:
 
 
 
 Requesting insufficient memory window!:  start 0xfd80 to 0x7ef size 
 0x200
 (EE) Cannnot find empty range to map base to
 (II)  Module ramdac already built-in
 (EE)  [drm] drmOpen failed  
 (EE) DRM(0) [dm]  DRMScreenInit failed  .  Disabling DRI
 
 
   Does this ring a bell among anybody who is familiar with xorg?
   My thinking now is that something is wrong with  the video on the 
   m'board; that both this new G50 and the last card were all right.
 
   Any thoughts?
 
   thanks,



I finally tried booting Windows and it says that I have
no ATI driver installed.   What does this means?

I'm supposed to install  some ATI driver.  Say wha-??

login.access, login and su.

2007-10-15 Thread Tuareg
Good afternoon,

I need to restric the access to some accounts, we are using FreeBSD
4.10, this is the configuration for login in /etc/pam.conf


login   authsufficient  pam_skey.so
login   authsufficient  pam_opie.so no_fake_prompts
#login  authrequisite   pam_opieaccess.so
login   authrequisite   pam_cleartext_pass_ok.so
#login  authsufficient  pam_kerberosIV.so   try_first_pass
#login  authsufficient  pam_krb5.so try_first_pass
login   authrequiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass
login   account requiredpam_unix.so
login   password required   pam_permit.so
login   session requiredpam_permit.so

And this is the content of /etc/login.access:

-:ALL EXCEPT user user1 : ALL


If we do su - user3 in FreeBSD 4.10 the result is that we become
user3 succesfully, and no restricction message appears.

% su - user3
%whoami
%user3


With FreeBSD 6.1/6.2, we are able to restrict the access if the
account isn't appear in /etc/login.access, for example:

-:ALL EXCEPT user user1 user2 : ALL

And this is the content of /etc/pamd./login:

# PAM configuration for the login service
#

# auth
authrequiredpam_nologin.so  no_warn
authsufficient  pam_self.so no_warn
authinclude system

# account
account requisite   pam_securetty.so
account include system

# session
session include system

# password
passwordinclude system


If we are using the account user and whant to change to user3
using su - this never happen:

% su - user3
pam_login_access: pam_sm_acct_mgmt: user3 is not allowed to log in on /dev/ttyp0
su: Sorry


Which is exactly what we need, but for FreeBSD 4.10.


There are differences between 4.10 and 6.1/6.2 for the configuration
of PAM and all it's modules, but the configuration for login.acces is
the same.

We read the documentation at the FreeBSD site about login.access and
there is no difference for the sintaxis of this file.

We also had read the man for login/pam/login.conf/login.access.

The file login.conf is the same for 4.10 and 6.1/6.2, we didn't
modified it's content.

Is there another configuration file we are missing that should be
modified to restrict the user become user3 using su - in FreeBSD
4.10?

Re: Mouse diagnostics tools?

 Try the -f and -d option in moused

for the first part, it shows my wired mouse only:

ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/18.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1

for the second, I guess I didn't expect it to provide /that/ much
diagnostic information. With moused -d -f -p /dev/sysmouse -t auto,
only the logictech produces output - the microsoft does not.

Given the lack of output, I take it that it is safe to assume there is
no low level driver for my mouse? Should I provide my system's
configuration file as well (from buildkernel - I know I turned off a
lot of wireless stuff in the config, but I didn't think it would
affect this).

installation question

2007-10-15 Thread Michael Silverstein
There are two installation CD's for FreeBSD 6.2.  After booting the 
first one, and requesting ALL packages and ALL ports, the installation 
seems to go ok until the end when it complains that it cannot find the 
requested package on the media from which installation is being made.


At no point does it ask for the 2nd CD. In fact, it has the CD drive 
locked shut so I cannot put it in. After accepting non-installation of 
several packages, it finished and the resulting installation does boot 
to the login prompt.


Questions: Do I have a complete installation? How do I install whatever 
is on the 2nd CD?

 Linux doesn't normally use master.passwd.  If I recall correctly, it

 to check).  And yes, the internal format is different (and, again, I don't

If I am not wrong, NIS does not know anything about master.passwd or

It depends on how much you can compromise about the quality and

A naive approach would be something like:

\documentclass{article}

insert your text file here

\end{verbatim}

But this may not result in a typeset document that is as aesthetically

Makefile for this, I'd be glad to get a copy. I already tried a patch I
found but was not successful.

Re: Ipod software

 Thanks for the suggestions.  I am trying out gtkpod now, and it seems to
 work fine, although I wish that there was a non/gui type program.

try gnupod.

 As a regular user it will not play.   As root CDs play Ok. I've been
 reading about the operator group as a fix. Is that the way?

 What should I do? Thanks


 To play the media as regular user you have give appropriate permissions in
/etc/devfs.conf.
check man page for devfs.conf(5).

Re: Listening ports - vpn, proxy + p2p.

 How do I get FreeBSD open and listen to those connections so that P2P

are you doing nat? or actually providing REAL , routable IPs for your users? 

if you are doing NAT, the only thing you may be able to do is to port forward
specific ports to each client. That may not work for all clients - emule may be
different to, say, limewire.

Re: Mouse diagnostics tools?

  What is the output of :

   (B) know a tool to help diagnose this issue?
 
  Try the -f and -d option in moused

 for the first part, it shows my wired mouse only:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19:48:52 (0) ~  dmesg | grep -i mouse
 ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/18.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1

This mean that the driver ums (USB mouse driver) is loaded to control your 
mouse

man ums


 for the second, I guess I didn't expect it to provide /that/ much
 diagnostic information. With moused -d -f -p /dev/sysmouse -t auto,
 only the logictech produces output - the microsoft does not.

should be

moused -d -f -p /dev/ums0 -t auto

man moused

if you see output, mean it work in FreeBSD, if the microsoft mouse doesn't 
produce a line in dmesg, mean that there is not a driver for your mouse.

I read some where about a new work in CURRENT, to make a new framework for the 
mouse.


 Given the lack of output, I take it that it is safe to assume there is
 no low level driver for my mouse? Should I provide my system's
 configuration file as well (from buildkernel - I know I turned off a
 lot of wireless stuff in the config, but I didn't think it would
 affect this).

I didn't see any line about moused, but that is because your mouse is USB and 
moused is loaded by devd

to see how is invoked moused

ps axw | grep mouse


 xorg.conf
 

 Section InputDevice
 Identifier Mouse0
 Driver mouse
 Option Protocol auto
 Option Device /dev/sysmouse
 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7
 EndSection

To use Device /dev/sysmouse, moused should be loaded, if not, the device 
should be /dev/ums0


 #previous attempt to get microsoft mouse working
 Section InputDevice
 Identifier Mouse1
 Driver mouse
 Option Protocol ImPS/2
 Option Device /dev/sysmouse
 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7
 EndSection

There is no such thing as a best editor. Which one you know better NOW?
If the goal is to study Python (assuming no previous experience), go
along with the easiest for you. For starters, if you are using a  GUI,
go with Python's own IDLE environment. It is not advanced, but neither
are you at this point. And it does have some advantages (like immediate
execution of commands to try out things).
Spending time learning a complex editor like vi or emacs, will certainly
pay up in the long run though.
