Can't login as root after changing the shell to bash
I tried to change the root's shell to bash. I used this command: 'chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash'. Prior to changing the shell for root I did it for my user account using the same command without problems. Unfortunately after a reboot I can't login as root anymore because my system can't find /usr/local/bin/bash. How can I fix this? I tried booting the freesbie cd but this wouldn't boot :(.

I would assume you also cannot log in as yourself. You should not change root's shell. I believe this has been discussed many times in the past on lists -- you should use tools like sudo or su2 to change UIDs. Both of those tools will allow you to take on root credentials while using the shell of your user account (bash). How can I fix this? I tried booting the freesbie cd but this wouldn't boot :(. Thanks in advance! You'll need to boot your machine and at the FreeBSD boot menu, choose option 4 for single-user mode. You'll eventually be dropped into a simple /bin/sh prompt. You'll need to do mount -a, then use vipw to edit all of the fields in /etc/master.passwd -- specifically, change root's shell back to /bin/csh. Write the file, exit vipw, and reboot the system. You should be up and working after that. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

It involves a set of pieces that have to fit together correctly in order to work. You will need to do some proper reading on the underlying concepts first. First, establish that there exists basic network connectivity between your machine and your dads. You may need to use a crossover cable. You will want to assign a static IP address in the Private IP space range to your rl1 interface. This is also known as RFC 1918. You will also want to manually configure a static IP on your dad's machine that is in the same network, instead of allowing it to come up on the link.local of 169.254.x.x. An example would be your rl1 == 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and your dad's machine == 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS at this stage you can use hosts files on each host for name resolution. Ensure that each machine can be ping'd by the other. Next, you will want to configure your FreeBSD machine as a NAT gateway. In your /etc/rc.conf you will want something like gateway_enable=YES and some form of firewall initialization[1]. The gateway_enable is what allows the forwarding of packets between your rl0 and your rl1, but the activation of NAT functionality is usually a function contained within a firewall. So conceptually, the firewall will be in between rl0 and rl1. There are three different firewalls you can choose from. Configuring the firewall is usually where the inexperienced get stuck. This subject material is beyond the scope of this missive, and you would do well to start reading in the Handbook. But essentially, when you configure NAT in the firewall your rl0 (connected to the ISP) will be assigned a Public IP address and the NAT function will translate between Public and Private. The next sticky point that will happen, should you get this far, is name resolution. You will want to place the IP addresses of the name servers of your ISP in your /etc/resolv.conf. You will also want to enter these into the TCP configuration of your dad's machine. In addition, on your dad's machine you will enter the IP address you used on your rl1 as the default route. The subject is much too broad for exhaustive coverage here. If your DSL/Cable modem has router ports on it, it might just be easier to plug your dad's machine up there and forget about all of this.

Thanks in advance! Sounds like /usr/local/bin is either not in the path for root or that the /usr or /usr/local file system is not mounted - which would be true in a single user boot. You should never change root's shell. It is doable if you move some files around, but it is too likely that you will come up with a situation like this where the alternate shell is not available. You can try coming up in 'single user' mode. Older systems required you to hit the space bar within the countdown. Newer ones require you to select the right option from a menu. I think it is '4' but don't want to reboot at the minute to check. It will ask you which shell you want. Just take the default (eg hit ENTER). Then remount / by doing: mount -u / Then edit /etc/passwd using the vipw(8) utility - just type: vipw It is just like using vi. Change your shell back to /bin/csh The shell is the last field in the line for the root account. Then, either reboot or just exit the single user mode and come up in full boot. If you absolutely must degenerate to using bash on a root account, create another root acount.Just go in to vipw and copy the root account line and replace the fields needed - namely the id, the name stuff, the login directory and the shell field. Of course, do not change the original root line. Suggestion, for example, if your usual account might be clyde, then make a root account called Rclyde. Make a home directory of /root/Rclyde.Don't forget to go and create that directory. It you can live without making that alternate root account, it is better to log in with your non-root account and then su(1) to get to root.Don't forget to add your non-root account to the 'wheel' group. Edit the /etc/group file. This is safer than logging in over the net directly to a root account because you can make sure your transmissions are encripted before going in to root. jerry -- Regards, Aniruddha ___ 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]

I put pgsql.so on top of all other modules and now there is no segfault. Thank you! I thought you said you changed the order and it didn't work? *confused* Although I do not understand why it has not been fixed. The same problem existed two years ago, right? What problem are you referring to? The extension ordering issue? If so: it should be obvious why it hasn't been fixed. It doesn't appear to affect everyone -- for example, we have never seen this problem in the 4-5 years we've been using PHP on FreeBSD -- and the solution doesn't really make much sense anyway. Just browse the archive of this list to see how many times it came up. Everyone is quite arbitrary. Just cause you never hit it, doesn't mean it's random. I've traced it to zend_module_shutdown, but then hit stuff I don't understand, namely, dlclose(3), specifically _fini() and how the zend engine uses it and why it's not working right. I hit ENOTIME, when trying to unwrap the code there. These two notes are in my extensions.ini: ; NOTE: spl makes php coredump if loaded after pspell ; NOTE 2: simplexml makes php coredump if loaded after pspell I don't have pspell anymore, since I stopped using it, but maybe you can then reproduce it. If not, I can provide you with a full extensions.ini that will coredump on shutdown 100% of the time (for me at least). What I remember from my tracing attempts is that extensions are expected to clean up their recourses (as in php resources, the library context handlers). At the same time, modules are unloaded in reverse order as they are loaded. In the case where Module A needs Module B, module B needs to be loaded first, but is unloaded last. My prime suspect was that Module A frees it's resources, but Module B still has a ref to it in it's own resource. However, I dind't find that criminal. For me it was a matter of I can spend a few days tracking it down or just re-order my extensions. Where the culprit is is hard to tell, since people report this doesn't happen on other platforms, it can be a FreeBSD specific problem with how it handles dlclose() and/or garbage collection magic, or it's a problem within php that is as you suspect, being worked around on other platforms by package managers. It smells of a missing symbol problem (e.g. libxx.so wants a symbol named hello_bob, but the symbol is available in libyy.so, which has to be loaded first; however, ld.so and dlopen(3) have explicit handling for this scenario (see RTLD_NOW vs. RTLD_LAZY), so I'm at a loss). Missing symbols happen also, but then no segfaults, simply php won't start (obviously). Easily traceable by module dependencies. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An example would be your rl1 == 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and your dad's machine == 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS at this stage you can use hosts files on each host for name resolution. Ensure that each machine can be ping'd by the other. Next, you will want to configure your FreeBSD machine as a NAT gateway. In your /etc/rc.conf you will want something like gateway_enable=YES and some form of firewall initialization[1]. The gateway_enable is what allows the forwarding of packets between your rl0 and your rl1, but the activation of NAT functionality is usually a function contained within a firewall. So conceptually, the firewall will be in between rl0 and rl1. There are three different firewalls you can choose from. Configuring the firewall is usually where the inexperienced get stuck.

But essentially, when you configure NAT in the firewall your rl0 (connected to the ISP) will be assigned a Public IP address and the NAT function will translate between Public and Private.

While I can access the internet easily, I want my dad to be able to connect to the internet with my freebsd box serving as the gateway. Can anyone please explain to me in easy steps how to accomplish this ? Thanks in advance for any help. Here is an alternative if there is no actual requirement for routing. It works on 6.2. If your network already has a router/firewall/NAT dhcp server (e.g., a Linksys, netgear router, a satellite modem, etc), investigate the use of if_bridge rather than attempt to use NAT and routing. This eliminates a number of issues that you will find difficult as someone new to networking and possibly FreeBSD. This allows you to make your FreeBSD machine transparent to the network as if the W2K box were another peer (in many ways). The benefits would be not having to proxy the private addresses/serve dhcp while maintaining your existing hardware set up. I add in options if_bridge to the kernel and rebuild though it can be loaded dynamically at boot. Your rc.conf entries would look something like this given a router to this ISP using a 192.168.1.0 private network space. # the FreeBSD - ISP NIC card ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 # the ISP Router connection to the LAN defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 gateway_enable=YES #rl0 is the WAN Facing nic. #rl1 is the second nic to other computers. This connects to switch or crossover # note that no address is set for rl1, it serves no purpose # the media statements are just shown to reflect rl1s existence # and other settings it may need ifconfig_rl1=up media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex cloned_interfaces=bridge0 ifconfig_bridge0=addm rl0 addm rl1 up Look at man if_bridge for sysctl.conf entries that may be needed. They determine what is passed on the bridge and can easily block necessary traffic if not set correctly. For my purposes, I found the following necessary: net.link.bridge.ipfw=1 net.link.bridge.ipfw_arp=1 These allow me to control the traffic within ipfw which makes me more comfortable than passing everything. Once a simple bridge is functional, investigate the entries necessary to further inhibit traffic using ipfw. This can be quite helpful in protecting a W2K box which is likely weak in it's security. The combination of these two products is thought of as a transparent firewall and is quite effective. It serves as a foundation for more complex configurations up to a complete Intrusion Detection System using snort_inline which can actually filter and drop virus signatures headed for the weaker windows platforms. Documentation is quite weak out there on this configuration but I can provide basic examples of ipfw commands to monitor, allow and deny traffic using ipfw and if_bridge. I'm unable to accurately provide this on the fly though. What some people do, is build a set of rules early in the ipfw ruleset to handle all traffic associated with the local FreeBSD computer's use of the net and separate traffic for the bridge into in and out sections (e.g. use of skipto). Then you can allow or deny what goes to and comes from the W2K box/other workstations, just like you do to the local machine.

Looking into packet filtering for basic protection won't hurt either. With those keywords in hand, you should be able to dig up something useful. - Peter Inspired by this discussion (and just replying to a random post) I tried for the first time to get a test machine as a gateway. I tried the handbook's instructions, here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html These work flawlessly, you will need to recompile your kernel though. The rest of the setup is relatively simple. I am more accustomed to using pf rather than IPFW though, and as I wanted to test this on my main system, I came up with this setup: /etc/rc.conf pf_enable=YES pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_flags= gateway_enable=YES (Run sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 *and* /etc/rc.d/routing restart if you do not wish to reboot after modifying rc.conf) I added this rule before the filtering rules section in my /etc/pf.conf: nat pass on rl1 from rl0:network to any - rl1 (This is an excellent read: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ ) where rl1 is the Internet-facing card, and rl0 is the local network one. Also added a few simple rules to allow traffic from rl0 as I am normally using pf for firewalling. This also worked nicely, and has the added advantage of not having to recompile the kernel.

You will also want to manually configure a static IP on your dad's machine that is in the same network, instead of allowing it to come up on the link.local of 169.254.x.x. An example would be your rl1 == 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and your dad's machine == 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS at this stage you can use hosts files on each host for name resolution. Ensure that each machine can be ping'd by the other. Next, you will want to configure your FreeBSD machine as a NAT gateway. In your /etc/rc.conf you will want something like gateway_enable=YES and some form of firewall initialization[1]. The gateway_enable is what allows the forwarding of packets between your rl0 and your rl1, but the activation of NAT functionality is usually a function contained within a firewall. So conceptually, the firewall will be in between rl0 and rl1. There are three different firewalls you can choose from. Configuring the firewall is usually where the inexperienced get stuck. This subject material is beyond the scope of this missive, and you would do well to start reading in the Handbook. But essentially, when you configure NAT in the firewall your rl0 (connected to the ISP) will be assigned a Public IP address and the NAT function will translate between Public and Private. The next sticky point that will happen, should you get this far, is name resolution. You will want to place the IP addresses of the name servers of your ISP in your /etc/resolv.conf. You will also want to enter these into the TCP configuration of your dad's machine. In addition, on your dad's machine you will enter the IP address you used on your rl1 as the default route. The subject is much too broad for exhaustive coverage here. If your DSL/Cable modem has router ports on it, it might just be easier to plug your dad's machine up there and forget about all of this. Much reading will be required of you, and once you know most of it then you will know what specific questions to ask when you encounter sticking points. This is intended only as a very generic form of overview. -Mike [1] For example, a couple of lines from my /etc/rc.conf: pf_enable=YES pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_flags=-e pflog_enable=YES pflog_logfile=/var/log/pflog pflog_flags= and the NAT line from my /etc/pf.conf: nat on $ExtIF inet from $INTERNAL to any - ($ExtIF) Please note that these are for illustrative purposes only, and by themselves will do nothing for your specific situation. There is much more that you will have to dig out of the documentation, understand, and configure appropriately. ___ 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]

SATA devices not added/probed from ICH7 sata300 controller, FreeBSD7.0, 7.1beta, 8.0 Daily
Hi, I am not very familiar with using mailing lists so if I have made a mistake in the format or scope of the message please correct me. I am pretty desperate for an answer by now so any help at all is really very appreciated. I have a Shuttle SD30G2 computer (Specs: http://preview.tinyurl.com/3knjrp ) which utilizes the intel ICH7 southbridge for sata devices. I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE. The issue is that although the sata controller is apparently detected correctly (It shows up by name in dmesg) the devices attached to it do not show up when running 'atacontrol list'. There are no errors produced on a normal boot, but booting in verbose mode produces a few repetetive messages that may be telling, although I am unable to decipher them. Some other symptoms; When booting from an installer or bootonly iso, the installer is unable to find the sata drive to install to and will exit with error. This applies to 7.0-release, 7.1 beta (From Oct 11), and the daily 8.0 bootonly (From may.) I have successfully installed Ubuntu 7.04 to the machine however, and it correctly installs and utilizes both the sata hard drive (ata2 in bsd) and the sata cdrom (ata3.) so this eliminates any possibility of the drive(s) or controller being faulty. and although I am currently using a custom built kernel, the fact that several bootonlys/installers cannot find the drive either would suggest it is not my configuration modifications which have caused this behavior. The full output from a verbose boot can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/1227417 ; The relevant (I think) section starts at roughly line #386 (Intel ICH7 UDMA100 controller) where the first controller for the IDE drives are found. ata0 is probed successfully, ata1 is skipped (there are no devices attached here), and then the sata controller is found, but ata2 and ata3 appear to be probed incorrectly, spitting out a message like this a bunch of times before quietly failing: ata2: stat0=0x7f err=0xff lsb=0xff msb=0xff. If this is the wrong mailing list, or I am in the wrong place entirely, please point me in the right direction, your help and time are appreciated. --John H ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD 7 and ESXi
you should stay with i386 (if I remember correctly there are no working amd64 nVidia drivers). This won't allow you to use the full 8GB of RAM you have installed, though, without building a custom kernel with PAE support (and there are known compatibility problems between PAE and certain kernel drivers). It's strongly recommended you stick with amd64 if at all possible. and use cheap (or even free) used diskless computer like 486-pentium as X terminal. it will even save electricity by not using these super-ultra-3D cards ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can anyone please explain to me in easy steps how to accomplish this ? Although to many old-timers this is easily achieved, to someone new to networking it is difficult to explain it in easy steps. It involves a set of pieces that have to fit together correctly in order to work. You will need to do some proper reading on the underlying concepts first. First, establish that there exists basic network connectivity between your machine and your dads. You may need to use a crossover cable. You will want to assign a static IP address in the Private IP space range to your rl1 interface. This is also known as RFC 1918. You will also want to manually configure a static IP on your dad's machine that is in the same network, instead of allowing it to come up on the link.local of 169.254.x.x. An example would be your rl1 == 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and your dad's machine == 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS at this stage you can use hosts files on each host for name resolution. Ensure that each machine can be ping'd by the other. Next, you will want to configure your FreeBSD machine as a NAT gateway. In your /etc/rc.conf you will want something like gateway_enable=YES and some form of firewall initialization[1]. The gateway_enable is what allows the forwarding of packets between your rl0 and your rl1, but the activation of NAT functionality is usually a function contained within a firewall. So conceptually, the firewall will be in between rl0 and rl1. There are three different firewalls you can choose from. Configuring the firewall is usually where the inexperienced get stuck. This subject material is beyond the scope of this missive, and you would do well to start reading in the Handbook. But essentially, when you configure NAT in the firewall your rl0 (connected to the ISP) will be assigned a Public IP address and the NAT function will translate between Public and Private. The next sticky point that will happen, should you get this far, is name resolution. You will want to place the IP addresses of the name servers of your ISP in your /etc/resolv.conf. You will also want to enter these into the TCP configuration of your dad's machine. In addition, on your dad's machine you will enter the IP address you used on your rl1 as the default route. The subject is much too broad for exhaustive coverage here. If your DSL/Cable modem has router ports on it, it might just be easier to plug your dad's machine up there and forget about all of this. Much reading will be required of you, and once you know most of it then you will know what specific questions to ask when you encounter sticking points. This is intended only as a very generic form of overview. -Mike [1] For example, a couple of lines from my /etc/rc.conf: pf_enable=YES pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_flags=-e pflog_enable=YES pflog_logfile=/var/log/pflog pflog_flags= and the NAT line from my /etc/pf.conf: nat on $ExtIF inet from $INTERNAL to any - ($ExtIF) Please note that these are for illustrative purposes only, and by themselves will do nothing for your specific situation.

My dad has a Windows 2000 machine with a network card but does not have a connection to the internet. My freebsd 6.2 box is connected to the internet and has 2 network cards, rl0 and rl1. rl0 connects to the ISP and rl1 is directly connected via a long Ethernet cable to the NIC on my dad's machine. While I can access the internet easily, I want my dad to be able to connect to the internet with my freebsd box serving as the gateway. Can anyone please explain to me in easy steps how to accomplish this ? Although to many old-timers this is easily achieved, to someone new to networking it is difficult to explain it in easy steps. It involves a set of pieces that have to fit together correctly in order to work. You will need to do some proper reading on the underlying concepts first. First, establish that there exists basic network connectivity between your machine and your dads. You may need to use a crossover cable. You will want to assign a static IP address in the Private IP space range to your rl1 interface. This is also known as RFC 1918. You will also want to manually configure a static IP on your dad's machine that is in the same network, instead of allowing it to come up on the link.local of 169.254.x.x. An example would be your rl1 == 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 and your dad's machine == 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. For DNS at this stage you can use hosts files on each host for name resolution. Ensure that each machine can be ping'd by the other. Next, you will want to configure your FreeBSD machine as a NAT gateway. In your /etc/rc.conf you will want something like gateway_enable=YES and some form of firewall initialization[1]. The gateway_enable is what allows the forwarding of packets between your rl0 and your rl1, but the activation of NAT functionality is usually a function contained within a firewall. So conceptually, the firewall will be in between rl0 and rl1. There are three different firewalls you can choose from. Configuring the firewall is usually where the inexperienced get stuck. This subject material is beyond the scope of this missive, and you would do well to start reading in the Handbook. But essentially, when you configure NAT in the firewall your rl0 (connected to the ISP) will be assigned a Public IP address and the NAT function will translate between Public and Private. The next sticky point that will happen, should you get this far, is name resolution. You will want to place the IP addresses of the name servers of your ISP in your /etc/resolv.conf. You will also want to enter these into the TCP configuration of your dad's machine. In addition, on your dad's machine you will enter the IP address you used on your rl1 as the default route. The subject is much too broad for exhaustive coverage here. If your DSL/Cable modem has router ports on it, it might just be easier to plug your dad's machine up there and forget about all of this. Much reading will be required of you, and once you know most of it then you will know what specific questions to ask when you encounter sticking points. This is intended only as a very generic form of overview. -Mike [1] For example, a couple of lines from my /etc/rc.conf: pf_enable=YES pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf pf_flags=-e pflog_enable=YES pflog_logfile=/var/log/pflog pflog_flags= and the NAT line from my /etc/pf.conf: nat on $ExtIF inet from $INTERNAL to any - ($ExtIF) Please note that these are for illustrative purposes only, and by themselves will do nothing for your specific situation. There is much more that you will have to dig out of the documentation, understand, and configure appropriately. Doesn't he need to also set sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 for his box to act as a gateway? Or is this handled by the NAT portion? -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

mktime() output not the same as the date utility
Hi,
I can't figure out from the man pages why
mktime() is giving a different result than date -f.
Both strptime and mktime are supposed to use the
local timezone, as does date.
The output of date is correct; mktime() is an hour later.
What am I missing here?

Take a look at what dmesg says: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0xb4ecf3d0, 0) error 19 ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0: offline ulpt0:
