Jim,

You should have the following kernel modules loaded:

# kldload kqemu
# kldload if_tap
# kldload aio

Then you may either used a devd hook to ifconfig the interface or (as I
do) start 'qemu' as root. It will execute a shell script when it brings
up the interface as:

$ cat /usr/local/etc/qemu-ifup
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1

(for the 'ifconfig' you must be root, or use devd hook, or 'sudo' in the
script). That's all. Set the other end of the NIC in the guest system to
IP 172.20.0.2 end the communication with the host OS (your FreeBSD 7.2)
should be fine. 

To reach the outerworld from the guest, I'm using NAT in the host OS.
Check the FreeBSD handbook how to enable this.

That's a valid point, and I'd like to add that there is some
consideration: Servers are usually protected with proper means.
This goes especially for UNIX servers. Desktops, on the other
hand, can more easily be taken over (especially non-UNIX machines),
so if an attacker got his foot inside a network, it's very 
useful to him. There are even trading platforms where criminals
buy and sell whole networks of compromised PCs. Of course,
everything happening inside such networks should be seen as
what it is: a threat to security. Just imagine some "clever
guy" uses telnet inside such a network to configure the
server...

mailman-with-htdig 2.1.12 does NOW build

[Tim Kellers]

Hi,

the Makefile try to get the patches for 2.2.12, but the newest from
www.openinfo.co.uk are still 2.1.11


=> indexing-2.1.12-0.1.patch.gz doesn't seem to exist in

My three options are:
- Wait
- Build without htdig
- Manually change Makefile for 2.1.12

Some suggestions ?

Kind regards,
Beat



Did you make any progress getting the index and htdig-mailman 2.12 files?

I finally downloaded the files for 2.11 and edited the patches replacing 
mailman 2.11 with 2.12 where ever referenced in the patch files.  
mailman-with-htdig portupgraded to v 2.12 fine and everything seems to 
be working as expected.


I have both those edited patchfiles if you need them.

You created the mirror after the GPT, which means you destroyed
the GPT backup header. gmirror uses the last sector on the disk
for metadata and that by itself is a cause for various problems.
It's better to use gmirror per partition.


Or create the GPT partition inside the gmirror device - then the GPT  
backup table will be at last_sector-1, but...



You could run into a race condition between GPT and gmirror and
GPT winning (again the result of gmirror using the last sector
on a disk for metadata).


unfortunately this could still happen, and will lead to the same  
error if GPT is tasted first, since it is embedded in the first  
sector and will assume the whole drive is available to GPT, and will  
then proceed to not find its backup data in the last sector.


It looks to me like GEOM classes should have a "priority" field for  
tasting. Any objections to that idea?


Using the last sector is not only flawed because it creates a race
condition, it's flawed in the assumption that you can always make
a geom part of a mirror by storing meta-data on the geom without
causing corruption. This whole idea of using the last sector was
so that a fully partitioned disk with data could be turned into a
mirrored disk. A neat idea, but hardly the basis for a generic
mirroring implementation when it silently corrupts a disk.

I think it's better to change gmirror to use the first sector on the
provider. This never creates a race condition and as such, you don't
need to invent a priority scheme, that has it's own set of flaws on
top of it. The only downside is that it's not easy to make a fully
partitioned and populated disk part of a mirror: one would need to
move the data forward one sector to free the first sector. This we
can actually do by inserting a GEOM that does it while I/O is still
ongoing. The good thing is: we need a class that does exactly this
for implementing the "move" verb in gpart.

In other words: Solving the problem that putting the metadata in the
first sector creates, can and will be re-used in implementing the
gpart "move partition" feature. I doubt anyone will complain that
the creation of a mirror brings with it a few hours of disk activity
that does not inhibit normal operation...

Exactly.  For example, the "server" in question is a desktop machine
at work.  I regularly see transfer rates of 13MB/s.  It's at a major
university, which is by itself another high-risk factor, precisely
because there are so many (often weakly protected) high-speed
connections.

other that editing my php files, i touch the computer very little.

There should be a httpd-access.log -- 'ls -a' should show you the last
time it was modified, but reading the tail of it should show the last
time it was accepting input.

SIGHUP on apache22 is normal, as it is indicating a forceful shutdown
(restart).

This is a 'known issue'.  Irrelevant to your problems, AFAICT.

Edit either /etc/hosts or the vhost file to fix this -- whichever does
not contain the `hostname` info.

Try 'mv'ing httpd-error.log to httpd-error.log.bak and restarting
apache22 again -- see if this error persists.

still checking, but seem to.  i'll check my /var/log/httpd/* files next.
That excuse was my best SWAG, and nothing more.  sometimes, 
reinitializing
everything, the OS turns out to be smarter than the rest of us...

oh, man, same here; and i was doing this stuff on my own until november,
'07   

i'm adding a clue to my ~/.HowTo file.   if httpd stuff w/ virt dirs 
fail:
REBOOT.

True, true.  I don't _need_ vhosts on my FreeBSD box because it's
overkill for what I use apache for.  When I ran my site off of my own

:-) [above].   no the reboot got things launched.  my server is
"sage.thought.org", but the mail, web, and dns stuff are all in 
a jail, "aristotle.thought.org", so my guess is that things were 
blocked at sage.  i realize that's a really LAME excuse... :-)

if ever i find somebody out here in the seattle area to help me, i'll 
buy
a Dell and built ns1.thought.org as aristotle.thought.org; no mo' jails.

meanwhile, if anybody else has some clues re wha' happened, Pulleze clue
me in. there was nothing in the error log; it was dated 


2 drwxr-xr-x   3 www  www  1024 Jan 13  2008 error

um, for apache22, the http.conf no longer has any of the virtual stuff. 
 
it's all in Include/httpd-local.conf.  Meanwhile, this newest apache is
getting to be a religion in its own right.   like emacs vs vim/vi, etc,

... especially since rebooting (ideally) shouldn't _fix_ apache22
problems.. If that works, it is only masking the real problem.

Do you remember any other major changes to your system or apache22
since your last reboot or apache update?

This is the first change in 18 months.  The logs in
/usr/local/www/apache22/ haven't been touched for months.

I did remember to edit my named/* files, update the Date and restart.
Then I restarted other apache related scripts and binaries.  The next 
"trick" is a reboot.  That won't tell me too much.

Wow... I must really be loosing it... Forget I asked that last question. ;)

Gary, if the problem persists after my previous suggestions, could you
also include info from the error log?

Take a look at the error log for apache, as I suspect the following:
usually, apache wants to look in /usr/local/www/apache22/* for its
information.  If you have changed , could you give us
snippets (if not all) of your httpd.conf ?

apache22: "Can't access startfile"

[Gary Kline]

Can anybody remind me what all I need to do to create a new virtual
website?  (Or move /usr/local/www/foo to /usr/local/www/bar/ and have
"bar" be my new website?  I've seen this lynx error:
"Can't access startfile" before and can't remeber what I'm doing wrong.

thanks for some clues here,

gary

I didn't see any replies about ${OTHER_OS} -- Firefox 3.0.11 does not
crash on *buntu (don't ask) for me.  I just wanted to point that out.
I don't have FF3 on FreeBSD boxes to test.

Just thought I'd share.

Yet, could you startup firefox with --sync to see where it crashes?

IBM T43 - iwi0 firmware stuck issue

[Siyan Hadzhiev]

Hello List ,

I am new in this list , so if these is an old topic forgive me.I have 
successfully installed FreeBSD 7.2 to IBM T43 Laptop.I am using wireless 
network with WPA key.My Laptop has Intel Pro Wireless 2200.I installed 
iwi driver and firmware successfully.


I am successfully connecting to my home and ofis wireless networks with 
wpa supplicant.However every 4 or 5 minutes my connection gets down and i 
got "iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4 , resetting " and then "iwi0 device 
timeout " errors.These drops my connection , after that it take 30 seconds 
to my connection come back up.Then after 5 minutes again same errors and 
these goes on.


I search a little bit on Google however find nothing usefull.

Is there anybody who faced with same problem?
And is there any solutions or upgrades for that issue.

Best Regards
Siyan

Can you tell me what you mean with that? I mean, imho a server must been

Perhaps I don't understand.


As I believe has already been answered in this thread, the better 
connected a server is to the Internet, the higher its value to several 
varieties of miscreants.  Given a choice between a server connected via 
a close to saturated T1 somewhere in the back waters of the Internet and 
a server with multiple 100mbps+ connections to key backbones, somebody 
interested in staging DOS attacks or using the server as a base to 
"explore" other networks or ... is likely to find the latter server of 
greater interest.  About the only advantage I can think of for the 
former is that it's probably, other things being equal, less likely to

Lock files are used by several programs to indicate file-wise that
they are running. The lock file is created when the program starts,
and usually deleted when it ends. If it is interrupted (due to an
error or ^C), the lock file isn't removed.

Most programs remove stale lock files by theirselves when they are
started again (e. g. fetchmail).

It's possible that there are programs that refuse to start, because
the lock file (falsely) indicates that the program is already running.

The location of the lock file seems to depend on the respective
program.

I'm not using X at all on my FreeBSD machines so I don't know if this is
related. We had a similar problem in Gentoo lately where Firefox simply
segfaulted on certain webpages. It was tracked down to librsvg and there
is a temporary patch for 2.22-2.26:
http://mirrors.evolva.ro/gentoo-portage/gnome-base/librsvg/files/librsvg-2.22.3-fix-segfault-with-firefox.patch
As I said, I don't know if this relates to FreeBSD in any way but to a
layman like myself it seems plausible since it's the same applications
involved and I can't see that there is a patch for this in Ports. Some
developer probably can make more sense out of this than I but I though
it was worth mentioning.

Re: The question of moving vi to /bin

[Manish Jain]

Hi,

I agree that vi is nowhere as easy to use as ee. Since a lot of people seem to 
be happy with ee, why not make it available under /bin so that that there is an 
easy-to-use, readily-working editor always available, even if you are in 
single-user mode ?

That in fact was the essence of this entire thread. The thing is /bin/ed and 
/rescue/vi have their unique problems and peculiarities. If at least there can 
be a general consensus that ee should be under /bin, a lot of people could 
possibly find it beneficial in emergencies. The problem again, I suspect, might 
be that moving ee to /bin would possibly need the terminal database to be kept 
under / directly, which goes against freebsd's obsession with a 
micro-minimalistic base.

One solution might be to keep a pared-down version of the database that 
provides only for the most commonly used terminals to be placed under /, and 
single-user mode set up to use this database.

Re: scripting suggestion: how to make this command shorter

[Modulok]

Zhang,

Perhaps you could put it into a text file and have cron simply execute
the text file. By doing so, you are free to break it up into a more
digestible format and start using programming constructs to make your
life easier. (Such as storing values in variables, or processing
standard input so the script can be called with various URL's and so
forth.) Your cron job could then simply execute "/home/you/bin/foo",
where 'foo' is whatever you decide to name the script.

Is there any specific reason why this has to be all on one line?

If problem appear, I will do it. This problem not regularly, I got the

So, your configuration works, but at times it gets disconnected.
And when that disconnection happens, it fails to re-connect. That
means that if you pull the modem's power plug, you'll be able to
establish a connection after some time and not immediately, right?

1) You should also "enable echo" along with "enable lqr".

When you pull the FreeBSD's ethernet plug does it work?
2) You should watch the logs and wait for it to disconnect, plug
the ethernet in and wait to re-connect on its own.

3) Then you should try the same with the DSL line, pull the plug
from the modem and it should behave the same way, that is
disconnect and re-connect on its own.

Do these three steps and if everything works, wait for the
random disconnection to happen. It should behave the same way.

tcpdump is your friend while trying the above.

scripting suggestion: how to make this command shorter

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. I wrote this one-line command to fetch a page from a long uri,
parse it twice: first time get subject & second time get content, and
send it as email to me.

$ w3m -dump 
'http://search1.taobao.com/browse/33/n-g,w6y4zzjaxxymvjomxy40--commend-0-all-33.htm?at_topsearch=1&ssid=e-s5'
 | grep -A 100 对比 | mail -a 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' -s 
'=?UTF-8?B?'`w3m -dump 
'http://search1.taobao.com/browse/33/n-g,w6y4zzjaxxymvjomxy40--commend-0-all-33.htm?at_topsearch=1&ssid=e-s5'
 | grep 找到.*件 | base64 -w0`'?=' zhangwe...@realss.com


The stupid part of this script is it fetches the page 2 times and parse
2 times, thus making the command very long. If I can write the command
in a way that the URI only appear once, then it is easier for me to
maintain it. I plan to put it in cron yet avoid having to modify two
places when the URI changes (and it does!).

How do you suggest optimizing the one-liner?

By the way I feel it stupid having to wrap the subject by using:
$ mail -s '=?UTF-8?B?'`echo $subject | base64`'?='

instead of
$ mail -s $subject

Because mail(1), as defined, intelligent user agent, should know the
current locale is UTF-8 and should know UTF-8 header must be base64
encoded for RFC compatibility. Yet it also should know if mail body is
UTF-8 the header 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' must not be
omitted in case of UTF-8 content. I think this is a bug, as both are
required by RFC. How do you think?

I guess you first try to burn something with a different CDR (better
CD-RW in order not to waist), try different speed (set to speed=4 and
see). Both helps locating the problem.

I would also try to use a Linux Live CD so if it also does not work in
Linux, you can suspect more on hardware problems then your FreeBSD setup.

So I try to burn the iso with the comand:
 # cdrecord -v dev=2,0,0 myfile.iso

It seams to start correctly, but in the midle gave me the input/output 
error:

Can someone help me please?

Thanks

Here is all what I could get from the -v option:cdrecord: No write mode

Re: Adding data to existing CD/DVD (FIXED)

[Jerry]

I found the problem. I had to manually set the '$dv" variable.
Actually, I have "CDR_DEVICE=3,0,0" set in the environment  so all I had
to do was use for mkisofs.

It still outputs some error notations; however, I assume that they are
harmless.

Thanks for your assistance.

OK, using your instructions, I am able to create the disk just fine.
However, when I attempt to add data to it, it bombs out.

I created a script and then used it to try and add two files to the
disk using your instructions.

you have any ideas what the problem might be?

This software is EASY, and very configurable.

Hi Patrick,


Just to say that "duplicity" usually means something like "deceitful and
dishonest behaviour" - duplication is what you want to avoid!  I only
mention it because this is a slip that could get you into serious
trouble in the wrong context!!  :-)

You are right about the ports tree and my way round this has been to edit
the relevant port Makefie and simply remove the dependency under
BUILD_DEPENDS, LIB_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS.  Most things then find
TeXLive and build themselves nicely after that. There may be an automated
way of doing this but I haven't found it yet.

What I do is change the Makefiles of the ports in question to remove the
dependancies on teTeX. My way of doing that is creating a patch for the
Makefile and re-applying that after each update of the ports tree.

Firefox crashes on yahoo.com

Hi,

This seems to be a strange problem with Firefox which I never

The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
  (Details: serial 31 error_code 17 request_code 140 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

There is nothing relevant to the crash in Xorg.0.log or console.log

One thing to add here is that the ports tree remains tied to
teTeX.  If you install TexLive (either from DVD or Romain's)
and then install a port like texmacs, lyx, texmaker, or auctex
to edit your files, you'll pull in teTeX as a dependency.  You
end up with both teTeX and TeXLive installed.  If someone knows
how to avoid the duplicity, please do chime in - I'm not a fan
of having both.  I require TeXLive for the mathematics typesetting
I do.

TeXLive now has FreeBSD binary packages (i386 & amd64) as well.

There are a lot of things that TeXLive has that teTeX doesn't;

- latin modern fonts [http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern]
- tex gyre fonts [http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/]

Both of these font families have a much greater range of diacretical
markers available. And they look very good. Latin Modern is an expanded
and improved version of Computer Modern. Both families are written as
OpenType fonts.

- XeTeX [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex]

Better support for typesetting in non-european languages.

- LuaTeX [http://www.luatex.org/]

Integration of the Lua scripting language into TeX. This will make TeX
more powerfull, and the writing of macro packages easier.

- conTeXt [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt]

- more recent releases, with updated macro packages.
- more macro packages available and integrated.
