Boot menu and USB keyboard
I've got a USB keyboard and I'm unable to select any of the options in the boot loader/beastie menu - escape to the loader prompt, single- user mode etc.. It is the only keyboard attached and it works fine once the system is up. I've done a bit of Googling and tried setting hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 in loader.conf but it doesn't make any difference.

Re: wpa_supplicant not starting with /etc/rc.d/netif
Hello, I have been following these instructions from the manual: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS-WPA-WPA-PSK However, in the step that requires me to run /etc/rc.d/netif start, instead of it starting wpa_supplicant, I see only ral0: no link giving up. I've added ifconfig_ral0=WPA DHCP to /etc/rc.conf, and it works just fine if I start it manually with wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i ral0. What should I do to get it working?

RAID contrôleur SATA/IDE
Hi, Im looking for a RAID CARD CONTROLEUR (PCI card would be fine). I wish I could plug in 2 SATA disk (250 Go) and 2 IDE UDMA/133 disk (250 Go) For the first computer, Ive bought a tiny card with a Sil680 chipset for the IDE disk, but its not recognising as a RAID controller. Just as an IDE controller. For the second computer, I wish I could use the motherboard RAID chipset, but it seems not to be recognise too. In fine, I now wish to have only one computer with a card for all the disks (2 x 250 Go IDE UDMA.133 and 2 x 250 Go SATA2) I looked on FreeBSD 7.0 hardware release, but I dont understand anything :-( Thanks, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

By the way, are you sure that you want to invest the time is using a 'G' protocol router? The 'N' version is readily available, much faster and has a greater range. Anyway, I used a Windows box to do the initial configuration/installation of the router. Visit the linksys site and get the latest installer package: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C1childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1166859678292pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapperlid=7829237314L06 Obviously, that should be all one line. After downloading and running the installed, download and run the updater program. It works on your router and might very well have an updated firmware for you.

Transscript: The freebsd manpages for 'clock_t times(struct tms *tp)' say the following: The times() function returns the value of time in CLK_TCK's of a second since 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time. But after letting a sample C program print the returned value, it matches the system's uptime (in clock ticks). I would like to ask the bsd devs to clarify whether this is a documentation problem, or an implementation problem. According to /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/times.c (and my understanding of the way it uses clock_gettime()), it looks like the documentation matches what the code is intended to do. If there is a problem, it is probably in clock_gettime(). Note that times(2) is a deprecated function, and *either* behaviour is acceptable according to the standards which applied before it was deprecated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with lid on Dell D400
On a Dell D400 notebook (Pentium-M 1.4GHz, Intel 855GM, ICH4M) running FreeBSD 7.0 #0 Closing the lid switches off the display, opening the lid does not switch the display back on. Very annoying. The machine is fully functional otherwise (accessed via ssh). Noticed this first on a vanilla FreeBSD-7.0 #0 install, the optimized kernel seems to behave the same. In sysctl I noticed after closing and opening the lid hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE but I have not checked the status of this sysctl before I closed the lid. dmesg output is not of boot -v, but of regular boot I wouldn't care if the lid doesn't have acpi features (e.g. suspend on lid close), but I'd like the screen to switch off for additional battery-life.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

restore various level dump files

Do I run restore -i -f dump-0 and then restore -i -f dump-1 and then restore -i -f dump-2 in that order? Is there some way I can tell restore that more than one level is available? restore -i -f dump-0 -f dump-1 -f dump-2 doesn't work. If I restore a level 0 and then a level 1, will the level 1 delete files that were removed when the level 1 was taking (like rsync -a --delete) or do I get a bunch of stale files lying around? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do, but I'm not sure I'm doing it the optimal way. I'd love some
feedback that might improve my simple script.
Basically, I back up each partition separately. I don't think it is
possible to just dump from the root, although if it is possible, I'd
like to know how.
This script assumes root can log into the backup server without a
password. It 'rotates' the backups by including the day of the week
in the file name, this gives me 7 days of complete backups.
I also take a snapshot of the home directory, in case I need to fetch
one file from backup. These dumps are really intended for
catastrophic failure (which, knock on wood, I've never actually needed.)
BTW, the primary and secondary servers both have dual nic cards. The
backup server is directly connected to the primary server, using a
crossover cable, so the nightly gigabyte transfer doesn't clog the
office lan switch.

To change the setting: make config in /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server and then reinstall the xorg-server port. Cheers, Matthew I don't know for sure. In /etc/make.conf is nothing written that X should be setuid root and that must be the place, or not? Anyway, I want X to be started through a tty like it worked, so I have no intention to change it now that it functions.

Re: Remote backups using ssh and dump
Hey, I'm presently using rsync over ssh, but I think dump would be better if it will work. I've been reading the man page, but I'm wondering if anyone is doing this successfully and would like to share their cmdline. Are doing backups to disk? I find rsync combined with hard links to be quite efficient and easy to manage/restore. Checkout Mike Rubel's article [1] if you haven't seen it already, he explains it well. I find Rsnapshot [2] quite useful/easy for small installations. There is also Dirvish [3] which might be worth looking at. Both use the same concept. Hope this helps, Andrew.

Re: Remote backups using ssh and dump
Has anyone done this? I'm presently using rsync over ssh, but I think dump would be better if it will work. I've been reading the man page, but I'm wondering if anyone is doing this successfully and would like to share their cmdline. Hi Paul, We're not using dump over ssh but I was curious to know why you'd prefer dump over rsync? We're using rsync and it's been good to us. So, I'd like to share with you our backup strategy. Just in case it can help you or anyone running various UNIX flavors. We use FreeBSD, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Linux and IBM AIX in this setup. This is a disk to disk to tape scenario. All clients are configured with a user called backup with a UID of zero (so that he can read everything). It's shell is set to rssh which in turn is configured to allow rsync only to the backup user. We limit who can connect to each clients via sshd_conf's AllowUsers config. Each client has the central backup server's special ssh key file installed in ~backup/.ssh/authorized_keys edited to have from=backup.domain.com, in it to restrict which machine can use this key. The central FreeBSD backup server has ssh access to every clients and has rsnapshot installed. We have an rsnapshot configuration for each client. Each backup run is scheduled via the server's crontab. Backup data is stored on the server's encrypted backup volume. The nice thing about rsnapshot is that it uses efficient links to save disk space. In the first run of a new client it takes the entire data set. But each subsequent run only takes the changes. But the backup data is kept online so you can actually browse it live and use scp/tar/rsync to perform a restore. Be it a single file or the entire file system. Using rsnapshot enables us to save a week's worth of data of all our 100+ machines without using more than 300Gb of disk space on the backup server (lots of machines, but not much data, we're quite lucky :) Each day, the backup data is passed with dd into OpenPGP before being sent to tape with tar. This way our tapes are encrypted and impossible to read without the appropriate password. That password is kept on an encrypted file. We can therefore send our tapes off site with any company knowing our data is safe. All the admins keep a detailed howto and the important encrypted password files on a USB stick in case the data center fails and we loose our wiki and the file server. If anyone is interested in the exact configuration of this backup setup, we have it all in a wiki, so it's easy to share it. Hope that can help anyone, Cheers, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator Oracle DBA CISSP, RHCE Sun Certified Security Administrator Montreal: +1 514 966 0122 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cfg-update equivalent?

Re: FreeBSD on IBM Blade Servers
Somebody using FreeBSD IBM Blade hardware in production? Hello Maximillian, I'm not using it myself, but a friend of mine is running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE on IBM BladeCenter LS20, AMD Opteron 2.4GHz/800 MHz. He says the big problems are getting the BladeCenter's USB console working across reboots and multipathing the HBAs. His FreeBSD blades boot of the SAN and they all have dual HBAs. Since FreeBSD 6.1 has zero multipath support, he has to disable one of the HBA for the boot process to work. I think FreeBSD 7.0 is a *lot* better with respect to the USB console. But I have no idea about the HBA multipath support? Anyway, if you do have more specific questions, please feel free to send them to me. I'd forward them to my friend or hook you two together.

Tinydns configuration... works, but no reverse dns
I am using tinydns on my FreeBSD server. Normal DNS lookups work fine, but I can't get reverse DNS to work. My colocation provider says they have delegated DNS to my name servers. If there is a way to independently verify this, I don't know how to do it, so I am taking their word for it.

need a shell script that can be executed manually or as part of the rc process. How can the script detect WHERE it is being called from to know how to handle various options.
I have a sh script im working on that is going to be able to run by the init/rc process. That same script can also be run after the system is started. I need a way to have the sh script detect WHERE in the boot process the server is when it is being executed. for example, once a login prompt appears there should be a getty running. prior to that time there shouldnt be a getty running, and if there isnt a gettty running, then the script must be called from the rc process and therefore I can do X instead of Y which I do when the system is fully operational. This is my thought process but I dont understand how to carry it out, or if the thought process actually makes sense. is there a better way for me to do what Im trying to do, and if there isnt and Im on the right track, how do I do what Im asking? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fwd: Remote backups using ssh and dump
Little did I know, when I posted this question, that I would receive such a wealth of information. I'm deeply appreciative of the community's willingness to share information and thank each and every one of your for your contributions. Now I have some reading to do. :-) I think there is a difference between what dump does and what tar/ rsync do... I like the idea of doing a bit level backup, rather than a file level backup. If you've never done a dump, try it locally, and then try restore, particularly interactive restore (restore -i). It's pretty cool and I don't think tar or rsync have anything like it. -- John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: DHCP Question
On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 9:36 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I am in the process of moving my phone system DHCP from my Mitel 3300 to a
FreeBSD so I can parse the DHCP file. In order to make Mitel's option 125
work correctly, I have to specify some vendor specific options. I believe
this is option 124 if I understand the Mitel documentation correctly.
We have a Mitel 3300 and use OpenBSD servers with the ISC DHCP server.
We have 5212 and 5224 IP phones and 5550 IP consoles. The consoles
are the trickiest of all to get working with DHCP. Below are the
sections from our DHCP config that relate to the Mitel. A few things
to note about it. 10.1.254.254 is our name server and dhcp server.
10.1.5.1 is the IP of our Mitel 3300 controller/server. the
/sysro/e2t8260 is the path of our e2t. The two most key components to
get it to work are the option-128 and option-129. You need to set
these as the hex representation of the IP address of your Mitel
controller, so in our case, 10.1.5.1 became 0A:01:05:01. It won't
work otherwise. 10.1.254.255 is our VPN gateway to our other office.
The vendor-class-identifier for mitel phones is always null (at least
for the 5212, 5224, and 5550 consoles). We use this to separate the
Mitel phones into a separate class so they are in their own IP block.
We originally just used the vendor-class-identifier thing, but then
started to find NICs that had vendor-class-identifier = null, so I
noticed that all of our Mitel device MAC addresses start with
1:08:00:0f., so we use that to separate them as well. It is a bad
hack, but it works for us. Anyway, with this config, we have 5212,
5224, and 5550 consoles getting their addresses with DHCP. Feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.

I'm deeply appreciative of the community's willingness to share information and thank each and every one of your for your contributions. Now I have some reading to do. :-) I think there is a difference between what dump does and what tar/ rsync do... I like the idea of doing a bit level backup, rather than a file level backup. If you've never done a dump, try it locally, and then try restore, particularly interactive restore (restore -i). It's pretty cool and I don't think tar or rsync have anything like it. Although some of the aspects of using dump/restore are a little clunky, it is still superior to any other method of backing up whole file systems. One of its weaknesses is that it will only back up a file system and not a subset of one such as one directory tree. You can, though, restore individual files and directory trees easily. What dump gets you is a system that knows how to handle every type of file condition correctly. None of the other quite do that. Its other weakness is that it is filesystem/OS specific. Geneally, you cannot take a dump on one OS and restore it under a different on - like you cannot dump SunOS and restore on FreeBSD or whatever. It will work over networks, though that can be slow and it doesn't recover well from network errors/failures. jerry -- John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bootloader not working on Compaq Proliant ML330 G2
Hi all I`ve tried to install FreeBSD 7 on Compaq Proliant ML330 G2 server, but it won`t boot. FreeBSD boot0 beeps after pressing F1, or F2 (got 2 partitions) key. So i`ve installed grub on another machine, but than it says Error 5 only in Proliant, I don`t even get grub command prompt. HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5 controller (it`s not onboard controller). When I connected drives to onboad controller they got some problem with DMA TIMEOUT. Any tip/hint/idea will be great. PS: Is there any way how to debug Bootloader?

cronjob - email messages sent
I have several cronjob's set up on a server we have under the user root. I need to specify specific email addresses results are sent to. Using documentation from: man 5 crontab I thought I could surround the jobs: ...

Re: need a shell script that can be executed manually or as part of the rc process. How can the script detect WHERE it is being called from to know how to handle various options.
Hi Rance, I have a sh script im working on that is going to be able to run by the init/rc process. That same script can also be run after the system is started. I need a way to have the sh script detect WHERE in the boot process the server is when it is being executed. You can control when your rc script runs with #REQUIRE: and #BEFORE: Checkout the practical rc.d scripting article [1], chapter 7 has an example. Use rcorder(8) to see what runs when: $ rcorder /etc/rc.d/* Hope this helps, Andrew [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/index.html -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 7, network dies, console shows: nfe0: tx v2 error 0x6004
I got this on a bootup after a power blink. I had added aio_load=YES and kqemu=YES to my loader.conf beforehand. Removing them + reboot didn't fix the issue. I switched to the nve driver - no luck, but even fewer useful diagnostic error messages I swaped the network cable with a known good, no luck. Is it safe to assume my onboard nic is toast? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
openoffice.org-2.4.0_2 hanging
Hi there, I compiled openoffice with WITHOUT_MOZILLA=yes WITH_KDE=yes LOCALIZED_LANG=de WITH_CUPS=yes WITHOUT_GNOMEVFS=yes WITH_TTF_BYTECODE_ENABLED=yes Openoffice is hanging while opening or saving a document. I tried the following posted earlier here in the list: There have been comments about problems with openoffice freezing when saving or opening files. It appears to involve language/locale stuff. For me, the following seems to work with the 2.4 package (perhaps not with 2.3.1_1) on 6.3-RELEASE. 1. As root, edit /etc/login.conf to set your system language. Mine is now: # diff /etc/login.conf.0 /etc/login.conf 45c45,46 :umask=022: --- :umask=022:\ :lang=en_US.UTF-8: 2. As root, update the login.conf.db: # cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf 3. Log out and log in again. # echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 4. As root, force openoffice to use your language (the -f seems critical): # openoffice.org-SRC680_m242-setofficelang -a -f en-US (Note that's en-US, not en_US.) (The user who's going to run openoffice might need to do the same thing. It also might help, if problems persist, to remove/rename your ~/.openoffice.org2 directory and start fresh.) It doesn't worked for me. Instead of en-US I use de-DE. Thanks!

building a distribution server
i have about 10 production servers that i want to upgrade to bsd 7 and update all their ports in one shot. the problem is the down time. im wrapping up upgrading a 6.3 to 7 and its taken over 7 hours so far. thats way too long for our machines to be down. the biggest slow down is the downloading of files. just sitting watching things i would say 70% of the time is downloading files. is there a way where i can build a distribution server that has everything i could possibly need to upgrade a machine from any 6.x to 7.0 and redo all the ports on that machine and have a cron job keep everything up to date on that server and when i upgrade a new machine, it simply goes to my internal distribution server to get the files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the last episode (Apr 04), Steel City Phantom said: i have about 10 production servers that i want to upgrade to bsd 7 and update all their ports in one shot. the problem is the down time. im wrapping up upgrading a 6.3 to 7 and its taken over 7 hours so far. thats way too long for our machines to be down. the biggest slow down is the downloading of files. just sitting watching things i would say 70% of the time is downloading files. is there a way where i can build a distribution server that has everything i could possibly need to upgrade a machine from any 6.x to 7.0 and redo all the ports on that machine and have a cron job keep everything up to date on that server and when i upgrade a new machine, it simply goes to my internal distribution server to get the files. Just make a symlink that points /usr/ports/distfiles to a common directory over NFS. To save space you can symlink all of /usr/ports. This also makes it much easer to maintain local modifications. One way to speed up the build process itself is with ccache. Symlink ~root/.ccache on each server to a common location, so only the first machine has to compile anything. If you wanted to get fancy, you could even build packages on one server, then use portupgrade -P to install them on the rest of the machines. -- 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]
