If you need to solve problem remotely, you don't need to open another port (PC ANYWHERE needs 2). J. Running an FTP behind a home DSL router is perfectly possible. You will just have to open a range of ports on the router itself eg 25000-25050 and forward them to your ftp server internal IP address. Then set the FTP server to only use these ports for passive transfers. For example, I am using ftp/proftpd and have this directive in the configuration file: PassivePorts 25000-25050 You will, of course, need to forward port 21 as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought it was only compiled with support for the driver, not the driver itself. kbtv1 includes it also, for convenience, and because its needed for the saa backend anyway (well, some header). The saa driver only covers video and audio (I only use shunted audio with kbtv, not real audio capture). Tuner support is all userspace (directly via iic device). The generic tuner support that comes with the driver (as example sort of) seems to indicate that this is for a class of tuners that has three fixed bands and must be set to switch between it (as in Philips reference design). TDA and MKn init require some extra iic babble. Modern silicon tuners work differently and have quite different registers that need to be set for tuning.

May I ask you if you can supply some references to what you're posting here? I'd like to investigate this much further... Also, I thought I read somewhere that firmware is used in most tuners.

I. Background POSIX threads are a set of functions that support applications with requirements for multiple flows of control, called threads, within a process. The fork(2) system call is used to create a new process. II. Problem Description The libpthread threading library on FreeBSD 6.3 fails to properly reinitialize mutexes when a threaded process invokes fork(2). III. Impact After the fork(2) system returns, the newly created child process may freeze in user space for no apparent reason. This affects any threaded application that invokes fork(2), most frequently those that call fork(2) before execve(2) or system(3) to run external programs. IV. Workaround On some systems, using libthr instead of libpthread, via the libmap configuration file libmap.conf(5), may be an acceptable workaround. V.

Re: sslexplorer setup - just so the archives have it...
Sigh. Let's try that again - fat-fingered it and sent it before it was ready. Followed the procedure found in this link: http://n3ncy.com/UNIX/FreeBSD/SSLExplorer.htm Installed Java, and it went through setup, connected to my Active directory just fine. Found a problem with that - I suspect that the app doesn't like either a very long password, or it doesn't like spaces in the password, so I shortened it to a 20 character passphrase - basically a sentence with the spaces removed from it. Then, when starting the app via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sslexplorer got the following error: usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libm.so.2 not found, required by wrapper A quick bit of googling indicated that I needed to install compat4x. cd /usr/ports/misc/compat4x make install rehash That takes care of the problem.

ClamAV 0.93 on FreeBSD 4.11
Hello,

Following the upgrade, I simply get returned to the login screen, with the following message repeated twice in /var/log/messages: console-kit-daemon[839]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_destroy: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed Can anyone shed any light on what's changed to prevent Xfce from being able to shut the system down?

It seems that xfsm-shutdown-helper no longer uses sudo to gain the necessary privileges to shut the system down - instead it uses hal policykit. Unfortunately this changeover doesn't seem to be documented anywhere - either for freebsd or xfce.

Re: Openldap server install failure - openldap client conflict
On Wed, 2008-04-16 at 10:37 -0400, David Robillard wrote: I'm trying to install OpenLDAP as a server to attempt to try it out for our network. The problem is the openldap client is already installed for other apps as php, apache, asterisk, etc. So my question is: is it possible to uninstall the client? Will the server include the client required for these other apps? You can always remove the old client and install the new version. You simply need to shutdown the services which depend on the client before you remove the old one and install the new one. Then start the services again. Of course you should do this on a test machine and make sure all your applications work as expected with the new client (i.e. don't do this on your production machine AND backup before you do!). For what it's worth, I've removed and installed the OpenLDAP client from a few machines and never had any problems with Apache nor with PHP. But I did have a problem with sudo(8). If you use sudo (you probably should IMHO) and it was compiled with LDAP support, then the minute you remove the old OpenLDAP client, sudo will be broken. It's easy to work around this by using su(1) and switch to root. Of course, make sure you know the root password and that you're part of the wheel group before you do this. Here's how I proceed to update the OpenLDAP client. I use SASL also, but it's not mandatory. Notice that I run a first make(1) without options. This will help reduce the time required between the `make deinstall` and `make install clean`. cd /usr/ports/net/openldap24-sasl-client sudo make sudo /all/your/ldap/dependent/applications/rc.d/scripts stop sudo make deinstall sudo make install clean sudo /all/your/ldap/dependent/applications/rc.d/scripts start Also, on a side note, I would suggest adding a few lines to make.conf(5) so that all your applications will require the same OpenLDAP versions (and the same Berkeley DB too). That change did help me quite a lot. The downside of this is that if you have many hosts, you may have to edit quite a few make.conf(5) files when either OpenLDAP or BDB changes versions. Using rsync, rdist WANT_OPENLDAP_VER= 24 WITH_BDB_VER= 46 Good luck with OpenLDAP. Should you need help with it, SASL and Kerberos integration, feel free to contact me. I did just get it worked out, but those other apps were worrying me (see last post). At least I know where to look now... Indeed. I've never used Asterisk myself so you'll have to test it. I'd be surprised if a change in the LDAP client breaks anything, but you never know. Better test it first on a non-production system. I am very interested in kerberos integration if you could provide some hints. I looked into before for another reason and set it aside in the too hard basket for a while... I posted back to the list to help others if they're interested too. I've successfully integrated OpenLDAP with SASL and Kerberos along with nss_ldap, pam_ldap, sudo and ssh on FreeBSD. I agree with you that it's not very easy to find good documentation on this subject on the web. So I'll try to post my own setup online in case it can help anyone. But before I do, I still need to clean up my notes :) I'd also like to publish documentation on these items: - Setup the OpenLDAP replication with a Kerberos user. - Describe a backup and recovery plan. - Configure Apache to use mod_auth_kerb to achieve Single Sign-On. - Describe how to replace NIS with OpenLDAP. - Configure the OpenLDAP/Kerberos setup in HA using Open Source tools. - Test some web based applications to manage the OpenLDAP accounts (so that I can give the user management to a junior admin or first level support teams) So unless you really need my docs right away, I would suggest waiting a bit for me to clean the whole thing. I'd like to have all that up and running around the first week of May. One thing, I installed the lam webapp for administration (and I did also try this manually too) but when I'm asked for a password I have no idea what password its looking for (I do feel rather stupid!). Hummm, I've never used LAM before. But my (wild) guess would be that it's looking for your rootdn user's password. Or any other user in which you've granted full read/write access in your OpenLDAP acls. This was something I was going to try to solve next time I get back to this project- it was late at night and I had only just got it installed and running. It says in the install guide that it will ask for the secret once you add a ldif file, so I assumed it would set it then- I was wrong... Well, the first password you setup is the rootdn's password. You generate the Salted-SHA1 hashed password with slappasswd(8C). Simply copy the ouput of `slappasswd -v` into your /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. That's in the rootpw configuration such as this: # Specify the rootdn's passwd. See slappasswd(8). rootpw

On Thursday 17 April 2008 13:31:50 Da Rock wrote: snip You'll have to excuse me presumption here (I'll normally read all messages before adding to a thread), but you sound like a very good source of info here. May I ask you if you can supply some references to what you're posting here? I'd like to investigate this much further... Principal source I used for the current tuner support with saa: FQ1200MK3 application note from Philips (google). The bandswitch commands for the different types come from the original saa example code (which I found didn't work properly for mk3 tuners until I added more initialization). Also, in the kbtv2 tarball, in drivers/saa/saa.h there are quite extensive comments. There are plenty (semi-)technical datasheets you can find online, but documents such as application notes seem to be hard to get by. There are two things, with tuners and any other hardware chip or component really: one is you need to understand how they work and what certain words/lingo mean (an electrical circuit schema can in principle be enough), two is there will always be a certain specific way (registers) to pass and retrieve and possibly convert the data you send/receive from the programmable parts of the circuity, even if two tuner types essentially use the exact same physics. Contrary to popular belief, the problem with HW support in OSS is the latter more often than the former I think. That's not to say that the first isn't a hurdle. ATM I find myself studying PLLs more closely with the expectation that eventually I can understand a specific configuration more easily and possibly guess to some extend how HW registers are organized. I'd like to reorganize the tuner support that's now in the saa backend so that this becomes one type/class while adding other types, such as the newer silicon tuners (microtune, xceive, fujitsu). I have some pdfs I could send you but there's no one definitive guide to a very broad area like this. And I wouldn't say that I have a broad enough view here to act as a trusty guide frankly. If you're mostly interested in (digital) video I can recommend Video demystified by Keith Jack. Pretty hard core but stuffed with all sorts of useful info. Also, I thought I read somewhere that firmware is used in most tuners. Plus I found the linux drivers use firmware to make this work. Just a thought. Well firmware can and is used for more than tuner support, also for example for a/v decoding (not to be confused with mpeg encoding) with the cxm driver, i.e. hauppauge PVR-150, i.e. pvrxxx). Tuning is just one thing that could be in a firmware. There's a firmware kernel module, used with cxm, that can load firmware. Essentially firmware is a blob that runs in your kernel. So, if not needed, I prefer to avoid it, especially with saa, because the a/v stuff is all OSS and BSD licensed and it works alright. There's another thing which may be confused with firmware, and that's eeprom. Tuners tend to have an eeprom that can be read to identify itself (eeproms don't execute code), and while they may be useful for identifying tuners they're also often busted or produce nonsense or disinformation. If you don't need to depend on an eeprom, I'd say avoid it. All IMHO of course -- I'm just self-taught here. I once wanted to just make a nice tv viewer for bktr. Then I got an avermedia card for 20 euro... then stole a webcam (lately it has been stolen back though, but it lasted long enough to support it in kbtv), and honestly bought a pvr150 card :) And then there's this eyeTV hybrid stick and I haven't even started on getting that to work. It looks at me ... support me, support me. Creepy little thing.

New to FreeBSD issues with multicast DNS.
Hi All, I'm new to FreeBSD, but I am running into an issue I can't seem to solve after a few days. I have a FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 set up. I installed mt-daapd/avahi from ports. For some reason, I can see the share on the fileserver but not on the network. Its like everything just stops when it get to the em0 (interface plugged into the switch). I can browse multicast dns locally as seen below [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports]# avahi-browse _daap._tcp + em0 IPv4 freebsd _daap._tcp local My network card has mulitcast em0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 I did add a mulitcast route route add -net 224.0.0.0 -iface em0 I have since taken it off since it didn't do anything And when i tcpdump and check the dump I see mulitcast broadcasts being sent out 20:42:00.085459 IP freebsd.mdns 224.0.0.251.mdns: 0 [2a] PTR (QM)? _daap._tcp.local. (96) Both mt-daapd/avahi are running. When i browse on my network from my macbookpro I never see the daapd share mbp:~ jdunn$ mDNS -B _daap._tcp Browsing for _daap._tcp Talking to DNS SD Daemon at Mach port 4099 If i have itunes running on either of my macs it shows up during this request. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could have messed up?

Thanks Jon..I finnally solve it, the problem appears on the Samba.. Cheers best regards...

Assuming you're using Samba for this, you'll need to read up on authentication in Samba and then figure out which of several options are configured on your system. It is not [necessarily] sufficient to add a FreeBSD user. --Jon Radel P.S. In many circumstances adduser -G plusmate ac06 instead of adduser -g plusmater ac06 would give more elegant results. Other things being equal, it's better to have all users use their own login group and then add them to additional groups as appropriate. There are plenty of legitimate reasons not to do this, so you're probably best off remaining consistent with the setup of the existing users. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Support for Stallion Serial Controllers in FreeBSD 7
Hi From some reading I have been doing including here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/console-server/setting-up-server.html ...I have been given to understand that FreeBSD supports Stallion multiport serial cards, provided that I enable it in the kernel. However, the link in the document above to stl comes up with nothing, I can find no other references doing a site search and doing: grep -r -i stallion * ...in /usr/src/sys, nothing comes up. Admittedly, I did run this on a Sparc64 machine so maybe it's missing from there, but am puzzled as to why I can only find that one reference on the entire site, and that includes searching the general and hardware list archives. Is this support now incorporated into something else? I know that nothing comes up in dmesg, although as I said before, this is a Sparc64 machine which maybe lacks those kernel components.

gmirror disk fail questions...
Hi all, Yesterday, after users complaining of strange things happening in their accounting package, I rebooted the server only to find that it never came back up. gmirror was complaining about ad6 in the raid and the server had hung bringing the mirror up (this has happened twice now). uname -a FreeBSD mesh.lhshoses.com.au 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 18 22:55:39 EST 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MESH i386 After a hard reboot, provider ad4 was available, ad6 timed out and the server booted. dmesg ad4: 76324MB WDC WD800JD-23LSA0 07.01D07 at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 76324MB WDC WD800JD-23LSA0 07.01D07 at ata3-master SATA150 GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=3803006992).

On every boot, the mirror is marked clean ad there's no warnings about a disk failing anywhere? Where should I be looking for or what should I be doing to get any warnings? Also, how-come if ad4 is the working disk, ad4's slices seem to be labelled as ad6. What's going on here? To me, ad6 appears to have correct labelling for the mirror from ad6s1a-f How can I test for sure whether the disk is damaged or dying, or whether this is just a temporary glitch in the mirror? This is the first time I've had a gmirror raid give me problems. Assuming ad6 has been deactivated/disconnected, I was thinking of trying: gmirror activate gm0 ad6 gmirror rebuild gm0 ad6 Is this safe? I haven't tried pulling either disk from the server as I am remote from the site.

However, the link in the document above to stl comes up with nothing, I can find no other references doing a site search and doing: grep -r -i stallion * Support for those cards was for i386-only, and was removed in 2004 along with a bunch of other drivers when the APIs they were using were removed. The last release that had the drivers was 5.2.1. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/isa/Attic/stallion.c revision 1.62 date: 2004/03/14 06:48:35; author: imp; state: dead; lines: +1 -1 stl and stli use the old COMPAT_ISA api. slt also uses the really old COMPAT_PCI api.
