Re: VMWare Tools for FreeBSD
Jeff Dickens wrote: I just made a copy of /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/freebsd.iso from VMware Server v1.0.4 under a different name, and moved it to the ESX server. Then I mounted that ISO as a virtual cdrom on the freebsd guest, untarred the tools and ran the install script. It seems to work fine. A couple of provisos: I don't use X windows on any of my FreeBSD systems, and the vmxnet accelerated virtual network adapter does not work properly. I use the e1000 adapter instead. It wouldn't be a bad idea to comment out the 'vmxnet_load=YES' line from /boot/loader.conf, but it doesn't seem to cause problems just being loaded. Furthermore, I don't use any of the virtualcenter features like vmotion, etc. I use freebsd guests for small-footprint servers, for example a dhcp and dnscache server with 512MB disk and 32MB ram. SNIP Jeff, Basically the only reason I have for using VM Tools is for the ability of Vmotion and such with our ESX Server farm. It's really the only benefit that the VM tools will give me on FreeBSD as all my virtual machines which are running FreeBSD are servers and don't use any GUI's either. Currently there is nothing that doesn't run correctly under VMWare and I have not seen any lack of performance or anything compared to a physical machine. Maybe if enough of us push to have the VMWare Tools developed and certified for use with VMWare that they might actually get started. I might develop some sort of E-Petition for it, what you think?

Re: IPv4 loopback address is missing, why?
Andrew Falanga said: HI, On my father's computer there isn't an IPv4 loopback address being assigned to the lo0 interface. What would cause this? I've looked at his configs and they're the same as on my system (obviously something is different, but I don't know what). I see in his /etc/defaults/rc.conf the ifconfig_lo0 line is *NOT* commented out or otherwise altered and his file looks the same as mine (at least on this point, I haven't contrasted the two entirely). So, why would his system not be configuring an IPv4 loopback address? After bootup, I can add the address manually using ifconfig. Do you know if the machine was set up with IPv6 or IPv4 at install? I've never used IPv6, but perhaps when that is chosen, `ifconfig' doesn't show the IPv4 address for lo0.

X.org 7.3 sure is a mess...
Now that I've upgraded to X.org 7.3, I'm wishing that I hadn't done it. Firefox hangs the server, using lots of CPU time, and the only way to get the screen, keyboard, and mouse access again is to power the machine down and up again, and then reboot. The xscreensaver modules mostly display nicely in the little window in the xscreensaver preferences panel, but about half of them when run in full-screen mode immediately crash the X server on a signal 11. PuTTY (installed from a port) is missing its terminal fonts, so I'm stuck using ssh(1) inside an xterm. I'm still discovering more and more broken stuff in 7.3 each day. It's only partially usable. How did this release ever make it out the door? What a mess. I suppose I can restore from the backups to get back to 6.9, though, but what a drag.

indeed - i've jumped onto 7.3 as soon as it hit the ports tree. I'm using XFCE

what cpu / wm are you using? what were you using before the upgrade ?

Varnish does look very interesting (specially the configuration side of

Re: DRI on radeon 9500 using too wide memory bus?
Written by Tijl Coosemans on 03/14/08 06:59 On Thursday 13 March 2008 22:45:35 Reid Linnemann wrote: Written by Reid Linnemann on 03/13/08 00:58 I've had DRI running on a radeon 9500 for a while now, and at some point in time tracking 6-STABLE and continuing now on 7-STABLE I've started seeing rendering artifacts in gl in the form of a cross-hatch pattern of pixels that don't get filled. At first I figured the card was failing, but I remembered a fact about the 9500 that made me doublethink that. The radeon 9500 is an r300 chipset, and differs from the 9700 only in the width of the memory bus (128 bit vs 256 bit) and possibly clock speed. If memory serves, the chip itself had the capacity to address 256 bits, but most 9500s just went out the door with 128 bit memory. I remember at one point in time trying out a hack to the 9500 driver that enabled the 256 bit bus to see if I had a rebadged 9700, and had similar artifacts. So I decided to peruse my X logs, and sure enough I see: (--) RADEON(0): Mapped VideoRAM: 131072 kByte (256 bit DDR SDRAM) Is it possible that the radeon driver is using the 256 bus? Is there a way to force it to use a 128 bit bus? Has anyone else seen this? On further investigation, I tried forcing the driver to switch to a 128 bit bus by setting the R300_MEM_NUM_CHANNELS_MASK bits on RADEON_MEM_CNTL to 0x1, but the problem did not go away. I'll try describing it a little better.. only with gl acceleration, the entire gl context appears to have criss-crossing lines 4 pixels wide that are randomly filled correctly or black, so that they form roughly a chain link fence pattern of trash on the gl context. Anyone have an idea? I can't help you with this, but I'm thinking you'll have a higher chance getting an answer on some DRI/DRM mailinglist. You could also ask the port maintainers (x11@). Some of them are also active developers on DRI, and the r300 driver, or at least used to be in the past. I did turn to the dri-users list, and I found I remembered the 9500 quirks wrong. Some of the 9500's were shipped with full r300 chips that just had half functional pixel pipelines, and the driver disabled the other half. Since that time, ATI has replaced the 9500 line with the 9600 (based on the rv350 chip), and wiped the 9500 from the historical record. The actual problem I was experiencing was in tiling for rasterization, because the developer documentation (and hence the r300 driver) specifies that 1 pipe should be enabled for the rv3xx series and 2 pipes should be enabled for the r3xx series, ignoring the 9500 anomaly. I couldn't even find mention of the 9500 on ati.amd.com in its discontinued cards; only the 9500 pro is mentioned and it had a fully functioning r300 chip, though with a narrower 128 bit memory bus. Anyway, I fixed the problem with a simple patch I've attached. This is only a bandaid patch though, there is apparently code in the assembly line for the r300 dri that more intelligently decides how many pipes to enable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It seems that the reference to the options file makes something go wrong. And it seems that pptpd needs the ppp configuration file to work. Yes, this configuration guide you've read is for Linux, thus it will use pppd by Paul Mackeras. pppd is in the base system(/usr/sbin/pppd), but it's an older version than the Linux one, since most people on FreeBSD use user-ppp(/usr/sbin/ppp). So, bad news first: pppd probably won't work(at least won't work by copying a configuration file you've found on the internet). I have many doubts that FreeBSD's pppd can be used with pptp. The good news are, that poptop is supported(it's in the ports), you just have to use user-ppp(which you seem to already use, since the name of the process above is ppp). Isn't the pptp entry on /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, installed from the port??? Did you search the package for configuration samples? Does anyone have a working example of poptop-based vpn server The pptp server/client of preference for a FreeBSD system, is in my humble opinion net/mpd. I suggest you to use that. There many guides on pptp and mpd lying around on the net.

Re: [FreeBSD 7] Radeon Mobility M10/9600 + xorg 7.3 + ati/radeon driver causes complete system hang/freeze
On 3/17/08, Mark Ovens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Torgeir Hoffmann wrote: [,,,] I have the following problems with my xorg 7.3 installation, even after I have pkg_delete -a, and reinstalled all with packages. The system was updated with freebsd-update from 6.3-release to 7.0-release. This sounds similar to the problem I have with 7.3 and a Radeon 8500LE card. Never had this problem with any previous version of Xorg (or XFree86). when the system hangs I can ssh(1) in from another box and find that Xorg process is sucking as much as 400% - yes four *hundred* percent - CPU ? It is holding a Giant Lock - State is *GIANT I can kill the Xorg process but on the affected box I just end up with a blank black screen so have to Ctrl-Alt_Del to reboot. The problem seems to come and go as I update installed ports. If I've got the problem then updating the ports gets rid of it (sometimes) and when the system is working a port upgrade starts it off again (sometimes). It seems to be one of the X ports being updated that is the cause but I don't know which - xorg-drivers seems a likely culprit. One thing I did do was to delete the port xf86-video-radeonhd which fixed the problem once. I don't know what installed it as a dependency but it hasn't been reinstalled - although the problem still comes and goes. I've had this on 6.3 and on 7.0 (completely clean build, not an upgrade from 6.3). As I said, this has only been a problem since u/g Xorg from 7.2-7.3 and it is becoming a PITA. I wonder if it's just that Radeon cards don't work too well with FreeBSD and/or Xorg?? Perhaps it's worth swapping to nVidia? On two of my systems (out of four) I've had a lot of problems with Xorg 7.3. My older system has run happily for a few years using the nvidia proprietary driver to drive two monitors and an old mga card to drive a third monitor. I was eventually forced to upgrade Xorg on it because so many ports couldn't be installed or updated without it. Since upgrading to X.org 7.3, the mga card is unusable and the nvidia card configuration will no longer work with dual monitors. After spending a week fighting it, I've given up on that system. It was an upgrade and there is no telling how much cruft is left over from the older nvidia driver. At the time this happened, I was preparing to move to a new system with an ATI card, so I turned my attention to the new system. I find the radeonhd driver configuration to be extremely fragile if I try to drive two monitors with it. Many configurations which should be entirely legal (e.g. specifying PreferredMode) lock up the system to the point that the only way to recover is to unplug the power. If I only had those experiences, I would conclude that Xorg 7.3 is total junk. But at home I have two systems that work fine with it. One is even using the radeonhd driver with two monitors -- a configuration similar to the one that gives me so much trouble with lockups. Overall, I think the older Xorg was much more stable and usable. I'm not at all sure the new features were worth the price. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 7.0 nvidia-driver woes
New installation of FreeBSD 7.0 i386, updated to 7.0-STABLE Mon Mar 17
18:04:24 MST 2008.
Attempting to use the nvidia-driver-169.12 package for:
NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI (NV41GL) at PCI:7:0:0
When I start X using the Xorg 'nv' driver it starts successfully. Base
xorg.conf created using 'X -configure' and X started using 'X -config
/path/to/xorg.conf.new'. Using nvidia-xconfig to activate the 'nvidia'
driver results in the X server attempting to start up and choking; the
Nvidia logo appears after a few seconds and remains, and a pixelated
black and green screen remains; the X display never loads correctly.
During attempted startup and when using CTRL+ALT+BKSP to kill the
server the Xorg process drives CPU usage to 100%:

dedicated server specs / 7.0-Release
Hello, We will be moving shortly to a dedicated server at a data center and we have been suggested a machine with the below specifications. However, the provider uses Fedora exclusively, so they will do an initial install of FreeBSD but then I am on my own. Tough luck but I am not going to give up on FBSD. However, before I progress, I would like to know if I am all right with such a machine under 7.0 Release.

Problem with ssh
I have tried using the following command with negative results. ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 scorpio That produces this error message: Permission denied (publickey). I found a reference to this command at: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/sshvnc.html I cannot figure out how to correct whatever the problem is. I am attempting to connect to a FreeBSD-6.3 machine running 'TightVNC' from a WinXP machine. The connection works fine using a regular connection; however, I would prefer to use 'ssh' and limit the port to localhost for security.

Re: pptpd server on a Samba PDC
Yes, this configuration guide you've read is for Linux, thus it will use pppd by Paul Mackeras. pppd is in the base system(/usr/sbin/pppd), but it's an older version than the Linux one, since most people on FreeBSD use user-ppp(/usr/sbin/ppp). So, bad news first: pppd probably won't work(at least won't work by copying a configuration file you've found on the internet). I have many doubts that FreeBSD's pppd can be used with pptp. The good news are, that poptop is supported(it's in the ports), you just have to use user-ppp(which you seem to already use, since the name of the process above is ppp). Isn't the pptp entry on /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, installed from the port??? Did you search the package for configuration samples? Does anyone have a working example of poptop-based vpn server The pptp server/client of preference for a FreeBSD system, is in my humble opinion net/mpd. I suggest you to use that. There many guides on pptp and mpd lying around on the net. HTH, Nikos Okay, I tried to install mpd, but now i doesn't seem to work ===/usr/local/etc/mpd/mpd.conf default: load pptp1 pptp1: new -i ng0 pptp1 pptp1 set iface disable on-demand set iface enable proxy-arp set iface idle 0 set iface enable tcpmssfix set bundle enable multilink set link yes acfcomp protocomp set link no pap chap set link enable chap set link keep-alive 10 60 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp ranges 192.168.1.4/32 192.168.1.151/32 set ipcp dns 192.168.1.4 set ipcp nbns 192.168.1.4 set link disable pap set bundle enable compression set ccp yes mppc #set ccp yes mpp-e40 set ccp yes mpp-e128 set ccp yes mpp-stateless #set bundle enable crypt-reqd ===/usr/local/etc/mpd/mpd.linksf pptp1: set link type pptp ## define the link type protocol as PPTP set pptp self 192.168.1.4## define the IP address on which MPD will run set pptp enable incoming ## define the connection as Incoming set pptp disable originate ## enables PPTP connection for communication with the client ===/etc/rc.conf mpd_enable=YES gateway_enable=YES And a /usr/local/etc/mpd/mpd.secret is also there. I can start the service, but don't see any port 1793 by typing netstat -an And ifconfig doesn't show any pptp1 Are there any obvious errors in this configuration?

Re: Headless Azureus with any X11 Dependencies ??
This One Time, at Band Camp, Christian Zachariasen [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 05:28:10PM +0100: I can, from the bottom of my heart, recommend TorrentFlux ( http://www.torrentflux.com). I used it for over two years on my shared server and it worked great. The great thing is - it's in ports! (/net-p2p/torrentflux). Actually I use tf-b4rt[1] a TorrentFlux fork ( Better than TF trust me) since 2 years now, The reason I want Azureus, is because running 10 ~ 15 torrents on TF takes my server's load up to 10 even 15 sometimes, I had a headless Azureus on Gentoo (before I moved to FreeBSD) and running up to 20 Torrents keeps the load at 3 tops!!!

Without a hardware RAID controller card, you can run a software RAID 1 array. That is mirroring capabilities. There is a howto in the FreeBSD handbook on setting up the RAIDs based on the FreeBSD's built in features. I would strongly suggest that you add more disks for more IO resources to be available if you are going to run a medium sized mail server. SAS disks will be way much better. Those extra disks (or faster ones) and two more GB of RAM will be more useful if you are going to use a type of SQL database for your hosts websites. Better safe than to be overloaded.

bsdlabel, now no boot
I was playing last night on my home FreeBSD system which is the only machine there that has internet access. And did something wrong. Had added two new SATA HD's and was playing with gstripe, adjusting the stripe size. Default 4k stripe resulted in a filesystem that runs at only 10 MB/sec or so. Had run gstripe, bsdlabel, and newfs, 4 or 5 times with different stripe sizes when suddenly the old was gone and I couldn't create a new. Nothing in /dev/stripe/. This is FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE circa July 2007. OK, something is messed up, lets reboot. Didn't do the usual F1 FreeBSD boot, fell back to a 0:ad(0,a)/boot/ prompt asking what to boot. I didn't *think* I was playing with the disk label on the PATA drive where FreeBSD is supposed to boot but clearly I've hosed something. Machine rebooted without problems earlier when the new drives were installed. Booted the 6.1-RELEASE CD from which this system was originally installed. Fiddled with the FDISK and labeler sections and didn't do any good. Didn't do any harm. My original partition table is still there along with the BSD slices. Wasn't getting anywhere with the CD so I installed a minimal binary 6.1 on one of the SATA drives (ad4s1). While I was there I set mount points for the PATA drive ad0s1 under /old/. Told it to write the FreeBSD boot manager and everything. This works. Still can't boot the PATA drive. But have mounted the old partitions. Then umounted and ran dump -0af for each old filesystem into dump images. The boot manager is back (at least on the SATA drive) as F1 for FreeBSD and F5 for another drive, but F5 beeps and doesn't change. Think I have tried all the boot options in fdisk and bsdlabel, nothing seems to work. Then tried sysinstall from the minimal 6.1 and used the Write option under fdisk to flush my update right now to disk and received an error that it could not write the disk. Nothing was mounted from that drive. Got same sort of error in the slice editor. I don't think my Dell PowerEdge 400SC has any sort of protection for the MBR in BIOS. Will look again tonight. Noticed the PATA drive was painfully slow under 6.1. Know I had DMA enabled manually in loader.conf under 6.2 and wondering if FreeBSD can write sector 0 via DMA but BIOS is blocking it if DMA is not used? Cutting to the chase, my Windows-style partition table is sane (does the FreeBSD partition need to be marked bootable?), and my BSD slice table appears to be reasonable and sane. But the drive is not bootable. fdisk -B ad0 didn't hurt nor help. No error message. fdisk -Bi ad0 didn't hurt nor help. No error message. bsdlabel -B ad0s1 didn't hurt nor help. No error message. The only error messages have been in sysinstall running from the 6.1 minimal installation. Is probably a good time for me to wipe this drive and install 7.0, but now that I have reached that conclusion and have nothing else to loose I'd like to learn how to recover from this situation. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to enable Linujx binary compatibility using sysinstall
Hello, After installing FreeBSD 7.0, I realised I'd forgotten to choose Linux binary compatibility during the install. I tried installing from ports, but it's gone and installed a load of other unwanted packages aswell now (perl/popt/rpm etc...). So, a few questions really... 1. Why does the ports install require all these other packages, when none of these are installed if you remember to select the Enable Linux binary compatibility option during install? 2. If I wanted to install from sysinstall (like during an installation), what do I do to enable Linux binary compatibility, without reinstalling? 3. There are 6 Linux binary compatibility packages available, which is the best one to use... fc4-10?

Re: FW: VMWare Tools for FreeBSD
Paul: I'd have to look at this some more. I got much further in the porting when I hit another snag with the vmblock driver (the inline assembly needs to be __asm__ instead of asm or something needs to process it that way for it to work, I also hacked around a vfsops issue which I'm not 100% sure what should really be there) and then all of it needs to be devtested. I use VMWare Fusion and have installed the existing vmtools that come with the product along with installing the individual X11 vmware driver which works for me but I agree it would be nice to have full port to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. I'm sorry for not giving you patch files its just I was doing this on and off as a exercise to learn a little bit more about it I believe at least now as you said, the userland stuff builds fine now.

If I wanted to install from sysinstall (like during an installation), what do I do to enable Linux binary compatibility, without reinstalling? I think it's just a matter of adding linux_enable=YES to rc.conf. I also have linux_load=YES in loader.conf, but I don't expect it's necessary, as the former setting should load the kernel module. 3.

Problem with multiple scsi adapters and drive assignments
I've searched all over (not totally exhaustive, but close) and can't find an answer that I thought would have come up before. Basically, I need to change the order that the kernel assigns drive names on bootup. It all started out with an old Intel server board with NCR/Symbios scsi builton. I added a QLogic QLA2100 fibre controller and everything was fine except that it was a little slow and couldn't hold enough ram. I took another (newer) Intel server board and put it in the case. This board has an Adaptec AIC7896 builtin. My custom kernel didn't have the aic driver so I took the opportunity to upgrade to 7.0 and built a new kernel. Everything was fine until I turned on the external fibre chassis and found that my da0 became da7. The board is in a rack-mount case so I cant put the QLA into a different slot and the bios doesn't have any way to change irq settings on the pci slots. I my mind, the logical answer is to tell FBSD to scan ahc0 before isp0. Through all my searching through docs and the mailing list archives, I can't find any mention of how to do this. I did find one mention of turning off the bios on the offending scsi card (it was a system with 2 Adaptecs). Been there, tried that, didn't work. Feel free to slap my face and call me stupid as long as you point my to the proper info if I somehow missed it.

Re: Problem with multiple scsi adapters and drive assignments
This is exactly what labeling your disks solves. Please see info on 'tunefs' and 'glabel' which provide labels to devices. Basically, when you insert a device not only does it get its scan-order-based /dev/___, it also gets a named entry in either /dev/ufs/ or /dev/label (tunefs/geom). You then use the label to mount the drive. -Patrick On 18/03/2008, John A.

Re: How to enable Linujx binary compatibility using sysinstall
On Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:46:11 + RW [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why does the ports install require all these other packages, when none of these are installed if you remember to select the Enable Linux binary compatibility option during install? They are dependencies of the particular application, or linux-base. I didn't quite get that you were talking about just installing a linux-base. The reason is that sysinstall uses a FreeBSD package, but the port installs from whatever the Linux distro uses, in this case Fedora RPM packages. The port therefore requires the FreeBSD RPM port and its dependencies. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I added a QLogic QLA2100 fibre controller and everything was fine except that it was a little slow and couldn't hold enough ram. I took another (newer) Intel server board and put it in the case. This board has an Adaptec AIC7896 builtin. My custom kernel didn't have the aic driver so I took the opportunity to upgrade to 7.0 and built a new kernel.

The board is in a rack-mount case so I cant put the QLA into a different slot and the bios doesn't have any way to change irq settings on the pci slots.

smb_iod_recvall: drop resp with mid errors
I have a CIFS share mounted from a Windows 2003 server on FreeBSD
6.2/i386 host (FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p9 #0: Thu
Nov 29 04:22:49 UTC 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386).
Earlier today we ran into a case where we were intermittently unable
to write to files on the mounted filesystem. The following errors were
encountered when this occurred:

While this host was experiencing these issues a different FreeBSD host
also encountered issues with a different share on the same Windows
server. I think this points to issues of some sort on the Windows
filesystem, but I'd like to understand the smb_iod_recvall output. I
think this is the relevant code, with a check on line 361 resulting in
the error. Is there enough information to suggest what might be wrong
on the remote system to cause this?

daylight savings time

Gcc and make not producing executable
Hello,
I'm trying to get my feet wet in programming in C and the first thing I'm doing
is reading a book called an Introduction to GCC. I'm running Fbsd 7-stable I
have Gcc44 installed.
Example in the book is 3 files named main.c, hello_fn.c and hello.h:
File main.c with the following code:
#include hello.h
int
main (void)
{
hello (world);
return 0;
}
File hello_fn.c with the following code:
#include stdio.h
#include hello.h
void
hello (const char * name)
{
printf (Hello, %s!\n, name);
}
and hello.h with the following code:
void hello (const char * name);
Objective is to create a makefile which will create an executable named main.
The books has this code in the Makefile:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall
main: main.o hello_fn.o
clean:
rm -f main main.o hello_fn.o
The book says this should create two object files named main.o and hello_fn.o
plus an executable named main. But the last is not created! Does it have to
do with make version? or is the book outdated (2005)
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/
or you can the section that I'm referring to here:
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_16.html
By the way I can create the executable using gcc -Wall main.c hello_fn.c -o main
so it's not a gcc problem I don't think.

There's where you state it hasn't any cli usages No, you misread that. It does nothing other than what you already get with the base OS. That is, -lpr/lpd, +cups = no advantage, ie: nothing. Sorry, I hate to differ, but even on my Mac OSX with dual PPC processors, I use lpr all the time, and I use ssh (hostname) lpr filetoprint from FreeBSD to my mac, it works just fine, and the Mac is running Cups. It does too do stuff for command line people, it's just that no one installing cups on FreeBSD has done anything to get that definitely established part of Cups working right. However, that definitely established part of CUPS duplicates lpr/lpd functionality, so it's a big waste of time to bother with installing it under FreeBSD and ripping out the existing lpr/lpd if all your going to do is use the same /etc/printcap config file and same filters that you would use under lpr/lpd. And here you forget what you said, and claim the cups is just stupid to use under CLI It IS stupid to use under CLI if all your going to be doing is using the same /etc/printcap config file and same filters that you would use under lpr/lpd. Are you a specialist now in ripping out sound bites and ignoring the rest of the paragraph? (no backoff from your FUD above, though). Our own printer system DOES NOTHING whatever for remote administration, nor organization of drovers, nor ability to print different type sources, nor the added security options. Eh? ssh into the print server and you can administer all you want. Organization of drivers? What drivers? Why do you need drivers? Oh I forgot, your too busy dropping $800 in superfast hardware to image pages for your $99 printer you got free with a coupon, and prints about 25 pages before the ink cartridge is empty. The real usefulness of CUPS is under a GUI, particularly married with a GUI configuration interface. For example you didn't install your printers under MacOS X by hand-editing the CUPS configuration files under MacOS X, you used the GUI configurator in System Properties, which interfaces with CUPS. That's why Apple had to license CUPS after all, because they modified it under MacOS X to allow the Aqua GUI to interface to it, and they didn't want to release the mods they made to it into the wild. In fact, if you compile ghostscript and compile the foomatic software under MacOS X, you can download, compile and using the Aqua GUI configurator interface to CUPS, install a gigantic number of printer drivers under MacOS X. With little trouble, you can (and I did) integrate all the foomatic stuff under MacOS, without recompiling. In the FreeBSD world the usual command-line junkies do the Right Thing and go buy a Postscript printer. And that also is FUD. A long time, I think about 20 years back, before I knew better, I did exactly that. It turns out that postscript printers run about 10 times more slowly than using ghostscript on your system and only sending the native image to the printer absolutely wrong. Only if you have a really cheap, old Postscript interpreter such as like the HP III with the add-in Postscript card, stacked against a 3Ghz PC tied to a winprinter with USB2 will you see this. Otherwise, you take the more common elderly 500Mhz CPU Win98 system that's been retired to a FreeBSD system and tie it to your winprinter and try imaging anything complex on it, and the PC will take far longer to image it than going Postscript to a decent printer like an HP5 (which are cheap as dirt on the used market) And this is just image printing - text is a whole different ballgame, it's far faster going Postscript to the printer if your printing multiple pages because your uploading the fonts and then following with just a text stream, your not imaging page after page. All of this of course sidesteps the discussion of what your considering is a high-end Postscript printer and what your printing with it and how much your printing. , so using cups is both far, far more cheap CUPS Ghostscript. gs and all the foomatic stuff runs just fine with LPR/LPD, no CUPS needed. (postscript printers being uniformly more expensive) Any decent workgroup laserjet will cost far less per-page than an inkjet, even going color, these days. Your talking false economy here - sure you may buy a color inkjet for $99 vs a color laser for $400 but print 500
