Re: ath atheros 5424/2424 on the CQ60 Presario
Thank you! The led flashes with traffic now...however, the flashing between blue and orange is irritating, so I removed the lines, and yes, the card works. It would be nice to have a steady blue to signifiy a connection. To get my ath0 device working, I have the following 2 files with the lines shown: File 1) /etc/rc.conf (fill in the ? with your wep key in position 1 on your router...my laptop didn't want to work without the weptxkey 1 and the 1: in front of the key itself) ifconfig_ath0=DHCP ssid spider mode AUTO weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x?? authmode open wepmode on File 2) /boot/loader.conf if_ath_load=YES wlan_scan_ap_load=YES wlan_scan_sta_load=YES wlan_wep_load_load=YES Also, on my wireless router, I had to disable Super G mode. The man page for the atheros driver says the atheros Super G mode is not supported. I verified that it was not supported, at least 100%. My laptop would talk to the router, but my DHCP server would not answer my laptop's DHCPDISCOVER requests. It worked as soon as I disabled Super G on the router. If you use an authmode other than open, I think you need to load another module in /boot/loader.conf...refer to the Freebsd Handbook 31.3.2.

I have been interested in installing FreeBSD on my laptop (HP/Compaq NX5000, 2MB RAM), in a free 20MB partition. [..] See http://busby.net/bret/Screenshot--dev-sda-GParted.png Presumably from your screenshot, what Linux Gparted calls /dev/sda8 However, with the response above, and, with all of the responses thus far, to the query, it appears that I cannot install FreeBSD on the computer, without a full system rebuild, involving removal of all of the installed operating systems and software from the computer, then repartitioning, or, slicing up, the hard drive, and then creating new logical, extended partitions, and then reinstalling each of the operating systems, and all of the software for each of the operating systems, trying to ensure that I then have at least all of the software that is currently installed on each operating system on the computer, and, the data that is currently present on the computer. Bret, none of that much drama will be necessary :) Manolis nailed it, but I'll add a little reinforcement if it helps reassure you that what you want to do is a) entirely possible and b) not terribly difficult. And, with being required to do all of that, I do not know what would happen, regarding issues such as the interrupt conflict that I encountered when trying to initially install Debian 3.1 on the computer, the interrupt conflict being between the WiFi card and the ethernet card, which reuired Ubuntu to resolve the conflict, then (at the time, as I was then a strictly Debian user) uninstalling Ubuntu to reinstall Debian 3.1, with the solution to the interrupt conflict, having used Mandriva Linux to do the partitioning, so as to retain the initial installation of MS Win XP, which I would probably lose, and have to install from scratch, as part of installing BSD on the system. I can't comment on your wifi or interrupt issues, but there's no reason you need to lose any of your existing systems to install FreeBSD here. First, make SURE you have good backups, whatever else you do. Sooner or later the HD is going to fail anyway, so be prepared and be comfortable. More or less as Manolis later said, using gparted since you have it: a) delete the 20GB logical partition /dev/sda8 for the space you need. b) move the free space in the extended partition to the end, after the present sda9 and sda10. these may then become sda8 and sda9, and you may later need to edit references to these to account for renumbering. c) shrink the extended partition sda2 to the end of (now) sda9, which will provide 20GB of unallocated free space on the disk. d) create a new slice (primary partition in DOS terms) using all of the 20GB free space. gparted will call it /dev/sda3, and it'll be the third partition in the MBR. FreeBSD will see this as slice /dev/ad0s3, and there you can install FreeBSD, probably in several FreeBSD partitions. So, getting the system set up, initially, to get Debian 3.1 running (it has been superseded on the system, first by Debian 4, and, now, by Debian 5), took a fair bit of time and effort, and problem solving, using various operating systems, to get the one extra operating system installed. Sure, and you learned quite a lot in the process :) Due to the time and effort involved, and the apparent complexity, it all seems too difficult, to install BSD. Nope. Just a bit more learning, shifting a bit further from 'DOS-think' If FreeBSD would be able to be installed in a logical partition, within an extended partition, as can be done with Linux, it would probably be able to be done by me - in the meantime, it is simply too difficult. It's only too difficult until you know how to do it. Manolis and I have both shown you a fairly straightforward way of doing it, and others have provided good background info on how FreeBSD uses diskspace. Go for it! As a bonus, you should be able to access all of the other filesystems on your disk from FreeBSD, at least read-only. FAT32 (mount_msdosfs), NTFS (I don't, but many people here have done), ext3 - not sure about write capability, but certainly ext2. Way back on FreeBSD 3.3 I salvaged many OS/2 HPFS filesystems from various extended partitions, readonly, and last time I looked (FreeBSD 7.0) the HPFS code was still in the tree. You'll find that FreeBSD knows the (covering) extended partition as /dev/ad0s5 and the logical partitions within as /dev/ad0s6, s7 etc. FAT32 is reliable read-write, and most useful for shipping files between different OS, especially if you enclose them in a tar(1) or zip(1) file if you need to maintain file ownerships and permissions. cheers, Ian
Re: problems with hal in freebsd 7.2 i386
I had similar troubles with hal. The easiest solutions is to get rid of hal. Deinstall it. The xorg-package you can compile without hal (use make configure and uncheck hal) and it will work.

1. will the s1a slice dump the entire system, that is, the a, d, e, f
and g slices or is it partitions?
No, dump will backup a single partition (or filesystem) specified by the
options you pass, i.e.:
* Dump only the ad0s1a partition to standard output:
dump -0 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s1a
* Dump only the ad0s1d partition to standard output:
dump -0 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s1d
You will have to run multiple `dump' instances to backup more than one
partition. For example, a short script that I run daily to save dumps
at level 2 for all my laptop's UFS filesystems includes code that is
equivalent to the following set of commands:
TODAY=$( date -u '+%Y-%m-%d' )
dump -2 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s1a kobe.2.${TODAY}.ad0s1a
dump -2 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s1d kobe.2.${TODAY}.ad0s1d
dump -2 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s1e kobe.2.${TODAY}.ad0s1e
dump -2 -L -a -u -f - /dev/ad0s3d kobe.2.${TODAY}.ad0s3d
Each partition is dumped to a separate output file, so I can restore
them separately.
I am trying to dump the whole system (all the slices)except swap
to a usb (sata2 500gb disk) and then restore to another computer with
7.2 minimal installation.
I think that's not possible because dump operates on file system
level, which means on partitions, not on slices.
I've been very confused with the slices/partitions. I meant above, to
dump the whole slice - but I guess that it has to be done with the
partitions.
You cannot dump a full slice (what other operating systems call a BIOS
partition) in a single dump run. Use multiple dump commands like the
ones shown above.
Slices ad2s1d,e,f and g dump ok to usb. a does not - errors (should use
-L when dumping live filesystems)
and when I do dump -0Laf /dev /ad1s1a /dev/da0s1a
the errors are
write error 10 blocks into volume 1
do you want to restart:
This is not a correct invocation of dump. You can't pass multiple
partitions in one instance of dump, like /dev, /ad1s1a and /dev/da0s1a.
If the order of dump options confuses you, reorder them the same way
Polytropon did, so that the `-f OUTPUT' option stands out a bit more:
dump -0 -a -L -f - /ad1s1a
A break-down of these options is now easier to understand:
* This will save a level 0 dump (the -0 option) of partition
/ad1s1a.
* The dump will not be split into multiple tape `archives' (the -a
option).
* Before trying to save the current state of the input partition,
dump will create a `snapshot' so that a consistent state of all
files in the partition will be saved in the dumped archive (the -L
option).
* The backup archive will be sent to standard output (the '-'
argument of the -f option).
The special '-' value for the output file of the -f option may be a bit
confusing, but it is useful if you are going to immediately pipe dump's
output to the restore(8) program. Otherwise, if you are just going to
save the dump archive to another disk, you could have used:
dump -0 -a -L -f dumpfile /ad1s1a
The dump utility would then save a dump archive to `dumpfile' instead of
writing everything to its standard output.
To illustrate a dump and restore process that involves several
partitions, just let me add this example:
Stage 1: Initialize slice and partitions
# fdisk -I -B ad1
# bsdlabel -w -B ad1s1
# bsdlabel -e ad1s1
a: 512M * 4.2BSD 0 0 0
b: 1024M * swap
c: * * unused --- don't change
e: 2G * 4.2BSD 0 0 0
f: 2G * 4.2BSD 0 0 0
g: 10G * 4.2BSD 0 0 0
h: * * 4.2BSD 0 0 0
^KX (means: save exit)
# newfs /dev/ad1s1a
# newfs -U /dev/ad1s1e
# newfs -U /dev/ad1s1f
# newfs -U /dev/ad1s1g
# newfs -U /dev/ad1s1h
Stage 2: Go into SUM and prepare the source partitions
why into SUM? I'm really the only user and I usually stay as root
if SUM, shouldn't the # below be $?
Because when you are running in multi-user mode there may be services
and other background processes changing the files of the source
partitions while you are dumping them.
By going into single-user mode, you ensure that there is only one active
process in your system: the root shell you are using to back restore
the files.

Re: geom not clearing metadata labels
R I've got a geom based file system that is running under 2 geom R modules: multipath and journal. Solved the problem, so here's some notes for the archive: - the answers were hiding throughout in the freebsd-geom mailing list archives, I just forgot to look there initially. - this was a single data disk that was improperly partitioned/sliced in the beginning, therefore the metadata information was being picked up twice and auto creating the journal device under each device. - if the journal is being picked up multiple times (ie slice + partition), then remove one of the formatting options (via dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/x bs=512 count=32) so only 1 journal is picked up. Then do gjournal clear /dev/x to properly remove the metadata. - hardcode the gjournal labels for situations like this, as it'll stop it being autoloaded under multiple devices. - gjournal hardcoded provider labels are up to 15 characters long, so long device names can be a pain (like multipath/0s1a is too long). Probably a few other notes that I've forgotten, but that'll get you on the right path.

Re: why no Oracle on FreeBSD ?
The reality is that Oracle is meant to be a very expensive solution for companies that don't know what to do. This makes Red Hat etc an ideal contender for this situation as it promises full enterprise support. Whether it is the truth or if its even a good solution is completely irreverent to these 2 tech companies because at the end of the day they are just trying to make money and please the stock holders. snip Huh? Last I remember reading, Oracle hasn't put a native version together for FreeBSD because running it through the linuxlator works well enough to justify not spending engineering resources on it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Whatever software flavour I settle on (I am trending towards FreeNAS at this point), I will be be running a RAID 5 array with a specific share dedicated to backups. Indeed, I already have a robust backup schemem in place. So no worries about loosing data per #5 on your list. Per #4 on your list, I am not sure if you are asking about the NAS machine, or the clients. The CLients are all Dell machines (R200's, PE860's and PE#750's). They are all Pent 4 and Xenon machines, currently using 100MB ethernet. (LAN AND WAN). All of them are connected to my central switch via a LAN vlan, and a wan vlan. The ethernet switch is also a dell 48 port Managed 100MB switch, with two GB ports. The current Internet traffic is about 2 Megabits sustained. The hard drive lights on each server are blinking about once per second, a little more solid when FTP activity is high. As far as the NAS machine specs go, I have not decided on anything yet, and am looking for input on this, any takers? I have also just came up with another question: All of the 200 domains on each server have thier own Real Unix user (obviously). Once the NAS is setup, (using NFS), how do the permissions on the NAS machine play out? i.e. when user 'hisname' logs into a server via ftp, and uploads a file to his home directory (which is on the NAS), will the file permissions be the same, and will 'hisname' own the file exactly the same as if he were writing to the local (server) disk? In the NAS exports do I have to map every user to the NFS or can I just maproot?

Re: backups cloning
On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 07:44:38PM -0400, PJ wrote: I am getting more and more confused with all the info regarding backing up and cloning or moving systems from disk to disk or computer to computer. I would like to do 2 things: 1. clone several instances of 7.2 from and existing installation 2. set up a backup script to back up changes either every night or once a week There are numerous solutions out there; but they are mostly confusing, erroneous or non functional. To start, could someone please explail to the the following, which I found here:http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=185 This page is essentially correct. But, it covers several situations. You need to decide which situation you are working on. Are you trying to make a backup of your system in case something fails or are you trying to make a clone to boot in another system? As for the restore, are you trying to use it to create a disk to move to another machine to boot with or to recover a failed disk on the same machine or just have a bootable disk handy if your current one fails?Each is different. If you are just making a dump in case of a disk failure, then just dump to a file on some removable media (USB drive, Tape, across the net, etc) and forget about doing the restore for now. You do that if the disk fails and you have acquired a new disk and prepared it for service including slicing and partitioning and putting an MBR on it and a boot sector. Then you use the fixit boot to restore those backups. If you are making a clone drive to move to another system then you have to slice and partition the new drive and then do the piped dump-restores you indicate below. If you are making a disk to switch to in case of a failure, you start by making a slice and partitioned drive and do the dump-restores. But, then you keep it current using rsync. Note that in this case, you only do the dump-restore once. The rsync does all the updating. Alternatively you might use some of the mirroring software to make a mirror drive that is [almost] always an exact copy. That is a completely different process. If you are making a disk to move to another machine then you probably do not want the -u switch on the dump command.That is meant for making a series of full and change dumps as backups. You can move system from disk to disk on fly with Code: $ newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a $ mount /dev/ad2s1a /target $ cd /target $ dump -0Lauf - /dev/ad1s1a | restore -rf - you can do the same using sudo Code: $ sudo echo $ sudo dump -0Lauf - /dev/ad1s1a | sudo restore -rf - This may be clear to someone; it certainly is not to me. As I understand it, newfs will (re)format the slice. Ok, But what is standard out in the above example. The dump is from where to where? Could someone clarify all this for me? The only thing the sudo does is make you root. If you are already root, you don't need it - as in the first example you give. In this particular case, it is probably better to just be root and run this as root. That wouldn't always be the case in every sudo situation. The dump command as you give it reads the /dev/ad1s1a file system and sends it to standard out. That is what the '-f -' part of the command tells it. The restore command reads from standard in and restores the data sent to it from the dump via the pipe which is the '|'. The pipe takes whatever is in the standard out from where it is coming and puts it in the standard in where it is going. So far, I have been unable to dump the / slice, not even with the -L option. I am trying to dump the whole system (all the slices)except swap to a usb (sata2 500gb disk) and then restore to another computer with 7.2 minimal installation. Slices ad2s1d,e,f and g dump ok to usb. a does not - errors (should use -L when dumping live filesystems) So, what are the errors. Do you have to newfs each slice before restoring? But if you are restoring on a running 7.2 system, don't you have to restore to another disk than the one the system is on? You have asked two unrelated questions. First: No, but it is a convenient way to make sure there is a clean receiving place.Actually, I don't bother doing the restore. I just write a dump file and leave it there in case I need to restore from it later. So my dump command would look something like: dump -0Laf /target/ad1s1adump /dev/ad1s1a So the file ad1s1adump would contain the dump. You might add in some characters that identify the date of the dump in the name of the file. Also, you can mount the source filesystem and dump using the mount name. So, if /dev/ad1s1a is normally mounted as /work, then it would work - and be mnemonic to do: dump -0Laf /target/workdump.20090930 /work Second: You cannot unmount a filesystem that is in use. But if you have permissions you can write to it. But, if you try to restore to the root filesystem of a running system, you can

But ad2s1a has just been newfs'd - so how can it be dumped if its been formatted? When you're working on this low level, triple-check all your commands. Failure to do so can cause data loss. In the example you presented, ad1 was the source disk, ad2 the target disk. You DON'T want to newfs your source disk. And what exactly does stdout mean? This refers to the standard output. In most cases, this is the terminal, the screen, such as # cat /etc/fstab will write the /etc/fstab to stdout. If you redirect it, for example by using or |, you can make stdout a file, or the input - stdin - for another program. This is how the dump | restore process works: It leaves out the use the tape or use the file, but instead directs the output of dump - the dump itself - to the restore program as input to be restored. What is dump doing? outputting what to where exactly? The dump program is outputting a dump of the specified partition to the standard output, which in this case is directly trans- mitted to the restore program, which picks it up and processes it = restores it. I don't see it or should I say, understand this at all. Have a look at the command line again, simplified: # dump -0 -f - /dev/ad0s1a | restore -r -f - Run the dump program, do a full backup of the 1st partition of the 1st slice of the 1st disk, write this dump to the standard output, pipe this output to the restore program, do a full restore, read the dump to be restored from standard input. and then the restore is from what to where? The restore program gets the dump to be restored from the standard input - remember, that's the output of the dump program - and writes it to the current working directory. That's the reason why you should always check with # pwd in which directory you're currently located, because that will be the place where the restored data will appear. write error 10 blocks into volume 1 do you want to restart: Could you present the command you're actually using, especially with where you issued it from? Duh I think I see where this is leading... I'm pretty sure it was issued from / which makes it redundant, right? I should have issued it from somewhere else, like from home, usr or whatever but not from / as that is what I was trying to dump :-[ No, that is not a problem. You can be in any directory and do the dump command, except if you want that restore to work you have to be in the receiving filesystem/directory. I just noticed that I missed that you were newfs-ing the wrong partition. That was the one you wanted to read from and your newfs would wipe out everything on it.If you do the newfs - a good idea - it has to be on the new filesystem you will be writing to. jerry The first time I tried with -L the error was 20 blocks... Both the slices for dump from and to are same size (2gb) and certainly not full by a long shot ( if I reccall correctly, only about 14% is used) I'm not sure where you put the dump file. Write error seems to indicate one of the following problems: a) The snapshot cannot be created. b) The dump file cannot be created. And what's this about a snapshot? AFAIK, I'm not making a snapshot; anyway, there is no long pause except for the dumb look on my face upon seeing these messages. Check man dump and search for the -L option. The dump program, in order to obtain a dump from a file system that's currently in use, will need to make a snapshot because it cannot handle data that is changing. So it will dump the data with the state of the snapshot, allowing the file system to be altered afterwards. As it is, I am currently erasing the brand new 500gb disk on which I want to restore. Excellent. Things started out really bad... don't u;nderstand what is going on. Polite question: Have you read the manpages and the section in the Handbook? Yes... but my brain can't handle it all so quickly... and being as impatient as I am, I tend to miss things on the run... it usually comes to me sooner or later... unfortunately, it's more often later than sooner... I've been reading the stuff in the man pages, and getting more confused by googling... Actually, I've been trying to get things straightened ot for at least 3 days already. I installed a minimal 7.2, booted up and turned to another computer to do some serious work. About 2 hours and 49 minutes later I notice messages on the 7.2 about a page fault or something like that and then the system reboots. This often indicates a hardware problem...

Then use handbook for building and installing http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html You'll also want to do something like the following from portmaster man page. Using portmaster to do a complete reinstallation of all your ports: 1. portmaster --list-origins ~/installed-port-list 2. Update your ports tree 3. portmaster --clean-distfiles-all 4. portmaster --check-port-dbdir 5. portmaster -Faf 6. pkg_delete '*' 7. rm -rf /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg 8. Manually check /usr/local and /var/db/pkg to make sure that they are really empty 9. portmaster `cat ~/installed-port-list` You probably want to use the -D option for the installation and then run --clean-distfiles[-all] again when you are done.

Questions regarding portmaster's man page
Hi! The man page for portmaster say this: Alternatively you could use portmaster -a -f -D to do an ``in place'' update of your ports. If that process is interrupted for any reason you can use portmaster -a -f -D -R to avoid rebuilding ports already rebuilt on previous runs. However the first method (delete everything and rein- stall) is preferred. I'm wondering why the first method is preferred. -- chs ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Can't tell about these instructions (would be nice to try them though) but I can assure you I've used the dump/restore method numerous times and it works great. There are a few things one should take care of: 1. Don't forget to install MBR / boot blocks on your new disk after restoring the dump(s) (see also this post http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-July/201809.html) 2. Don't forget to manually create directories that you excluded from your dump (like /dev /mnt) 3. Since you will (obviously) not dump /tmp don't forget to set the sticky bit on it when you newfs and mount it - All sort of weird things will happen if it is not set. 4. If the machines are identical it probably doesn't matter, but it would be a good idea to label the partitions so you don't have to rely on device names in fstab (as these change depending on the motherboard, disk controller, sata connector used etc.), see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-glabel.html You can even restore by booting the FreeBSD live FS CD (or the DVD). As I recall you may have to define TMPDIR to something writable (to a directory in the USB disk you are using for the dumps) for restore to work properly. Restore will tell you about this if needed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: backups cloning
About the dd method: On Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:30:58 -0400, Jerry McAllister jerr...@msu.edu wrote: It can be used, but it is not a good way to do it. For regular backups or even for cloning, it's not very performant, I agree. I'm mostly using this method for forensic purposes, when I need a copy of a media (a whole disk, one slice or a particular partition) to toy around with, so I don't mess up the original data. That is because it copies sector by sector and the new disk/filesystem may not match the old exactly. That's a known problem. Another problem is time complexity. The dd program does copy everything - even the unused disk blocks (which don't need to be copied). This makes this process often last very long. Besides when it is newly written on a file by file basis, it can be more efficiently laid out and accomodate any changes in size and sector addressing. dd cannot do that. That's true. This is the point where tools like cpdup and rsync come into mind (according to creating backups or clones). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This is very often related to DRM/DRI or memory problems. As a work around, try playing the video with the x11 driver instead: $ mplayer -vo x11 somefile.avi On a very slow machine, x11 isn't as good as xv driver, but it's better than nothing. On a reasonably fast machine (2 GB or so), you shouldn't notice any difference. Also you can't use full screen mode with x11 driver like with xv, but if your CPU is fast enough, you can use software zooming with the -zoom option. BTW, I often experience that mplayer with -vo xv works very well the first time I start X (directly after booting), but not on subsequent starts of X. I traced this down to the following data point, but was unable to investigate further as I have NO experience in drm/dri debugging: On a first start of X on my machine, xvinfo yields: $ xvinfo X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: RadeonHD Textured Video number of ports: 16 port base: 64 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 24, visualID 0x21 no port attributes defined maximum XvImage size: 8192 x 8192 (...) and mplayer -vo xv ... and everything else works great; while on subsequent starts of X, it returns something like $ xvinfo X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present and mplayer -vo xv yields those X11 BadAlloc errors, and scrolling in tin/rtin, firefox etc... is *painfully* slow.

ndis interface doesn't show up (intel 5300)
Hello, I'm struggling to get Intel 5300 wireless mini pci-e card working on FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 (amd64, both GENERIC and my custom kernel). I get no error messages. Kernel module builds and loads fine but then ndis interface never shows up. Here is exactly what I'm doing: Drivers for XP64 downloaded from intel website. I've tried latest and old drivers. Unzipped on FreeBSD. Then: ndisgen NETw5x64.inf NETw5x64.sys This .INF file appears to be ASCII. [return] This .SYS file appears to be in Windows(r) PE format. [return] Driver file conversion - conversion was successful. [enter] Firmware file conversion [enter] Kernel module generation Generating Makefile... done. Building kernel module... done. Cleaning up... done. So NETw5x64_sys.ko has been successfully generated. Note that when it asks me for additional firmware files I don't give it any - is that ok? Then I'm moving this module to /boot/modules and I'm loading it: kldload -v NETw5x64_sys.ko Loaded NETw5x64_sys.ko, id=8 And that's pretty much it, module get loaded together with nids.ko and if_nids.ko but nothing really happens.

Maybe start over again installing the ports? There are drivers for the sis chipset, for the case you havent discovered them: /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis Also the already mentioned /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse And then reinstall /usr/ports/x11/xorg (with a make config before) I have a similar combination, though using the traditional ps2 mouse..

syslog-ng.conf.sample from port sysutils/syslog-ng3 errors
The sample config file for syslog-ng3 does not work.
When I install sysutils/syslog-ng3 from ports, the sample config file
/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.sample seems to have a number
of things wrong with it.
First, the port is looking for it in /usr/local/etc not
/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng contrary to what most of the tutorials on
it's installation indicate.
Once you've moved the file to the right location, this happens
[afriest...@monolith /usr/local/etc]$ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
Starting syslog_ng.
Configuration file has no version number, assuming syslog-ng 2.1
format. Please add @version: maj.min to the beginning of the file;
WARNING: global: the default value of chain_hostnames is changing to
'no' in version 3.0, please update your configuration accordingly;
Your configuration file uses an obsoleted keyword, please update your
configuration; keyword='sync', change='flush_lines'
WARNING: input: sources do not remove new-line characters from
messages by default in version 3.0, please add 'no-multi-line' flag to
your configuration if you want to retain this functionality;
WARNING: file source: default value of follow_freq in file sources is
changing in 3.0 to '1' for all files except /proc/kmsg;
WARNING: template: the default value for template-escape is changing
to 'no' in version 3.0, please update your configuration file
accordingly;
Unknown facility; facility='console'
Adding @version3.0 to the first line of the file helps quite a bit
[afriest...@monolith /usr/local/etc]$ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
Starting syslog_ng.
Your configuration file uses an obsoleted keyword, please update your
configuration; keyword='sync', change='flush_lines'
Unknown facility; facility='console'
Changing
options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); };
to
options { long_hostnames(off); flush_lines(0); };
takes care of all but that last line.
While searching for answers to this problem, I came across
http://dbaspot.com/forums/solaris/240478-syslog-ng-warning-unknown-facility-facility-authpriv.html
which suggests mapping of the facilities seems to be done in eventlog
(which syslog-ng is based on)
Neither of the two files in /usr/local/include/eventlog (evtlog.h and
evtmaps.h) mention a thing about a console facility
However, there is a LOG_CONSOLE definition in /usr/include/syslog.h,
which is included in the above evtlog.h. see next line
#define LOG_CONSOLE (143) /* /dev/console output */
I feel like I'm close to getting syslog-ng working, I just need a
little help now that I'm getting into parts of the system I'm not
familiar with.

Re: Netwroked Storage
Hi, All of the 200 domains on each server have thier own Real Unix user (obviously). Once the NAS is setup, (using NFS), how do the permissions on the NAS machine play out? i.e. when user 'hisname' logs into a server via ftp, and uploads a file to his home directory (which is on the NAS), will the file permissions be the same, and will 'hisname' own the file exactly the same as if he were writing to the local (server) disk? That is expected, else something bad would exists in the configuration of the NAS. In the NAS exports do I have to map every user to the NFS or can I just maproot? Maproot is the easiest as it gives complete access to the NFS exported directory. Now you may consider that for security reason, users of client-machine 1 should only be allowed to NFS mount their own home directory. In that case, you may need the users of client-machine 1 to exist on client-machine 1 and on the server, etc for machine 2... Actually I never had this case when a user account only exists on an NFS client but not on the NFS server, so I am not too sure. I guess that user ID of the users should be different on every client system. You may consider an LDAP directory for your users, where the server would see all the users, but each client-machine would see only the users belonging to it (I thing that there is an host attributes, so client-1 only sees the users with host=client-1).
