Unlocking HDD ATA password
I have a question regarding the use (or the make usable again) of hard disks locked with ATA password: I have a Samsung disk (2.5 with PATA interface) and approx. 160 GB capacity which is locked by some ATA password which nobody knows. What tool is to be used in FreeBSD to transmit the password to the unit in order to wake it up? The disk is recognized by the system properly, but no da device will be created, instead error messages are printed (as it is to be expected for a locked drive). With some fiddling (didn't document it, sorry) I finally got a /dev/da0 device, but could not obtain any further information (like via fdisk da0). On Linux, there's hdparm (with options like --security-unlock), but what is the FreeBSD for that? For comparison: http://linux.die.net/man/8/hdparm Basically, I don't want to read what's on the disk, I'm just not accepting to throw precious 160 GB away for nothing. So if there is a tool to simply remove the password and maybe destroy all data on the disk, it will be fine. And: Yes, I've already read about cracking the password by using respective evil tools, like, dealing with error codes, password hashes, hex dumps of specific hardware sectors, but it looks like too much work to just get those 160 GB. But I did learn a lot. :-) -- 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

Audio out via HDMI... how?
I have a laptop which has an HDMI output port. I can get video out of that (with xbmc) just fine. Audio, not so much. Like not at all, as far as I can tell.

OK, so now, could somebody please just tell me how I can do a test that will determine why I ain't gettin' no audio? The receiver is capable of decoding 5.1 DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, and eveything else too. It is working just fine.. not a thing wrong with it. It works great with my Blu-Ray player and does the digital-analog decoding for anything and everything I throw at it. Again, I just want to know how to _test_ doing some output to that from my laptop, via HDMI. I tried these things, but not a sound was heard: cat /dev/random /dev/dsp cat /dev/random /dev/dsp2 The FreeBSD handbook page that deal with setiing up audio cards doesn't provide a whole lot of guidance for how to test and/or fix digital audio output, whether it is coming out via HDMI (as in my case) or via any other kind of physical transport (e.g. coax or S/PDIF). Somwebody please pass me a clue. I'd really like to get this working. Thanks. P.S. If I have to downmix to 2ch in xbmc before the audio even hits the HDMI cable, I could even live with that.

Puzzled: install system from hard disk to another does not work, but dvd install works
I have traditionally done disk to disk installs, for example, when changing partition setup. I think this worked with 7 and 8, but now with 9.* it seems to fail. Now, this seems to be quite strange, and I cannot quite figure this out: Setup is like this: - host with two disks, shown up as ada0 and ada1 - I install FreeBSD 9.0R into ada0, with manual setup, which includes - gpt partitioning, with freebsd-boot partition at 64, size 192 (aligned for 4kB blocks), freebsd-swap, and freebsd-ufs partitions - gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 - gmirror label root ada0p3 (other disk will be inserted later) - gjournal label /dev/mirror/root - newfs -J /dev/mirror/root.journal - And appropriate loader.conf etc setups - This install works fine. - Upgrade to latest using freebsd-update - Then I notice that swap (or whatever) was too small, so lets redo the partitions on the second disk with changed partitions: - Boot single user from the working system installed above - Do the same partitioning steps as earlier from dvd - tar/rsync whatever all the files from ada0 to ada1 - reboot from ada1. Now, this hangs when it tries to mount root, the last message is Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/root.journal [rw,async,noatime]... And after this nothing happens (at least for hours). So, what might be wrong? Further debugging: - If I remove journal and mirror (not changing anything else), it still stops when trying to mount root, so it does not seem that mirror and journal have effect (though I have not tried if ordinary partition to partition copy works) - noatime option on mount does not have effect on this - Redoing bootcode commands does not cure it - This is not specific to computer or OS version. I have had same problem on modern amd64 host as well as old i386 host, and this has repeated on at least 4 systems, all different. This happened with earlier 9.0R versions (binary updated) as well, though I cannot be certain if unmodified 9.0R has this problem. Medias have been anything from various sized disks to CF cards. I think doing disk-to-disk install worked with 8.x (though I was mostly using mbr partitions that time). - Media size does not seem to have any effect. - When I give the computer three-letter salute (ctrl-alt-del), it stops the journals and mirrors, and reboots normally. So the kernel is not completely hung, and shuts down properly. - The root disk does not seem to have gotten mounted at all, as dumpfs says last mounted at to be /mnt, not / (it was mounted to /mnt when I tried this) - Contents of /boot is identical on both disks (as are all other files, copied with either tar or rsync). - Contents of gpt freebsd-boot partitions are identical - There was slight difference in mbr block, but copying ada0 mbr block to ada1 makes no difference. The difference was that partition data on ada1 was different, with very small partition at the end. Reinstalling pmbr with gpart bootcode does not have effect. - fsck passes without errors. - Dumpfs seems to have no strange differences (other than slightly different size filesystem - Doing this from multi user or single user system does not make a difference - Having disk to install from in single user mode as read-only does not make a difference (can't use vi to edit fstab but that is not strictly necessary...) - Repeating all steps does not make a difference - I have done this so many times, that I am pretty sure I am not typoing something every time. - If I drop gjournal and mirror and create filesystem with softupdates journaling, the resulting system boots - If I have mirror with no gjournal, and softupdates journaling (tested by labeling already existing partition in previous test, so it might not be completely similar situation). Apart from changed partition sizes, there is no visible difference in boot blocks, partition tables, filesystems, and files on the partitions. The commands to create the partitions from dvd seem completely identical, there is no visible difference. Kernel just waits for something when trying to mount root filesystem on ada1, while boot from ada0 works fine. Any idea what is going on? Has anyone else tried this? In what situations root mount could get stuck waiting for something?

P w/ ftp-proxy, using both active/passive FTP
My goal is to get my FTP server working for both passive and active type FTP connections with the following conditions: 1) Running PF firewall on a FreeBSD machine, which is also the FTP machine. 2) Without opening up all ports 1024 (or any upper-swath of ports), except where this occurs dynamically. I have chosen to take an ftp-proxy based solution. I'm also limited to 1 box here, so ftp-proxy is running on the same machine as the target FTP server, although I understand it is typically used in a gateway/forwarding situation. After a lot of playing around with my firewall rules, I've ended up in a mutually exclusive situation. With this line: rdr pass on $std_int proto tcp from any to $std_int port 21 - 127.0.0.1 port 8021 PASSIVE FTP WORKS!! Yay W *cheering in background*. But Active fails. If I comment it out, in thus fashion: #rdr pass on $std_int proto tcp from any to $std_int port 21 - 127.0.0.1 port 8021 ACTIVE FTP WORKS!! Yay Wo *cheering in background*. But. Passive fails. I would also like to mention that just commenting it out and restarting the firewall is all I did. ftp-proxy server process is still running. Also both tests were from the same host, using the same ftp program, with only active/passive settings on ftp client used appropriately for each respective test; all other settings identical. So I took a look at the handbook, which claimed I need to understand active/passive better (although I thought I already did... funny how that works?) - and the handbook linked the site http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html Here I got this awesome description from slacksite: In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20. So my first assumption was, Either I can't connect to the client's local port, or my firewall isn't letting anything out on port 20. I look at the rules... hmm, don't think so. I just open up everything and try anyway, try ftp-proxy with without -r option, and no dice. Same situation for both tests. Nothing changes. Examples of what I put in: pass in quick on $std_int proto tcp from any to any pass out quick on $std_int proto tcp from any to any below rdr directive (which is required by pf.conf ordering). Then I have a Face Palm exactly how did any of that have to do with it working when the rule was commented out? Absolutely nothing, that's what! I feel like such an idiot!! Ok.. so what does that rule mean? Let's revisit the rule: rdr pass on $std_int proto tcp from any to $std_int port 21 - 127.0.0.1 port 8021 So all traffic on port 21, either in or out, goes to localhost 8021. H. The rule failed when I tried to specify 'in' or 'out' on the rdr directive. I don't think pf works rdr that way. My only logical conclusion is FTP has become stubborn and is using Active mode on port 21, and not 20, for whatever reason. The connection starts to succeed, but then the ACK packet from the client of course gets redirected to 8021, and the active connection being attempted from 21 misses it, resulting in a half-open connection, thus causing the FTP data channel to fail. It is the only possible explanation I can come up with, yet that is not in accordance to know what I know about FTP behavior (i.e., according to slacksite's description). Somewhere between convention and the IETF, I think I got lost. Does anyone know how to get passive + active both working with the stated goals of using PF w/ ftp-proxy? If this question is outside the scope of this list but better suited to be asked freebsd-pf, apologies in advance. Since the question is not about the development of the firewall itself, I thought it appropriate to ask here. ___ 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

freebsd-texlive port
Hi, According to: http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive I got the impression that the texlive is now available in the ports. My understanding was that we no longer need to use portshaker(8). I've updated svn of ports to r305607 and I still don't see texlive* in /usr/ports/print or any where in /usr/ports. I'm running: FreeBSD 9.0 STABLE i386 Can any TeX Live / LaTeX users on the list shed some light?

Maybe shadowed would be have been a more accurate term.
