Ports with GUI configs
Hi I was just wondering, what is the motivation behind the GUI configuration for some ports? Simply put, they drive me up the wall. I've lost count of the number of times I've come back to a big install to find it hanging on a config screen. Possibly I'm missing something. The apache22 port is the latest one to join this crowd, although there is an option to skip the GUI. I'm much happier using WITH_PROXY_MODULES or whatever, and managing everything in pkgtools.conf. What is the best way to pre-configure GUI-configured ports? For example, if I want to script an installation of several ports. I've seen this: http://www.freshports.org/misc/dotfile/, is it what I'm after?

I have yet to find a free OS I would rather have running on my servers, whatever it looks like. So, I still put BSDie stickers on things and don't worry about it. Is that what it's called? I've always called it Beastie. I can't even tell you why. Not so much to replace as to supplant BSDie, I think. Anyone would think there was some sort of insurrection behind all this! Yup. Me too.

On Nov 07, 2007, at 5:59 am, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: You probably won't find any. One of the (many) problems with the new logo is the large color variation. This makes it look real kewel when it's displayed on the cover of a CD case, or a poster or a book. But shrinking it down would remove all of that and you would end up with essentially a red splotch. If you compare for example the daemon on the CD cover of the version 1.1 release, pictured here: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/shirts/bsd4_3.html Note the fine shading and variation on the shadow part of the daemon. Now, compare that to the later renditions on the powered by logos here: http://www.freebsd.org/art.html Notice how the fine shading is gone and replaced with a single uniform black. Whoever built the daemon image for the Powered By logos must have spent hours and hours and hours on getting the shading to look acceptable on the much smaller Powered By image. It works because the daemon image is not a simple shape image, it's outline is complex. The same trick would not work for the red ball, it would just end up looking like a red moon being eclipsed. Now I've compared them I see your point. The primary reason the new logo was dreamed up was due to complaints by one of the core members that whenever they did a presentation about FreeBSD people would waste a huge amount of time getting through the yer logo looks like Satan stage before he could actually talk about the operating system itself. They wanted a kewel looking logo that could be plastered on large posters, CD cases, book covers, and such marketing materials without ignorant people thinking it was some kind of devil worship cult at the trade shows. They wern't at all concerned with a logo that would look good on a powered by entry on a webpage. I didn't follow the debate first time round but I remember hearing something along these lines (also that the new one looks like a sex toy, I must be too innocent to understand that one...). I didn't really see the point of changing the logo, possibly because I never realised that there were so many ignorant people at presentations like you describe. There are plenty of ignorant people around, I just didn't know so many ended up looking at FreeBSD. I assumed, though, that the new logo was designed to replace the old one. I've got nothing against Beastie, I just figured that if the FreeBSD team wanted to be identified by the red horned globe that I should be using that in its/his place. I have in any case gone with one of the Powered By logos. While I'm on the subject, can anyone open the SVG version?

rc.d script for processes started with /usr/bin/env
Hi
I just wrote a little ruby web server for internal use. I wrote it
on my mac to deploy on FreeBSD, so I used #!/usr/bin/env ruby as
the shebang. But when I do that, I can't stop the server with my
rc.d script (below). If I change them both to /usr/local/bin/ruby I
can make it work.
Is it possible to use /usr/bin/env like this?
Thanks

Samba file server with ActiveDirectory accounts... pw usershow not working
Hi I asked about this a while back and a few of you were good enough to give me some pointers. I've been forced to look again at Samba because the single unmirrored disk not covered by the backup scripts that a certain sysadmin installed crashed the other day.

We want folders in /var/share available to users in Active Directory, eg /var/share/ashleymoran for just me, and maybe a shared one for the office or the design team etc. Nothing complicated really.

Is Active Directory integrated file sharing possible on FreeBSD?
Hi people I recently added a pair of extra disks to one of our internal servers (FreeBSD 6.1) to give us a share for our office. Our user authentication is all done by Active Directory Small Business Server 2000. I gave the job of getting Samba running an authenticated share to our Linux-fanboy network admin. He came back to me claiming the following reason why it can't be done (I assume the second word should be followed by not): Winbind is fully functional on FreeBSD so it doesn’t work authenticating with windows, ive tried compiling the Solaris version which is supposedly meant to work but I cant get it to compile. So now I was working on a public anonymous share but that doesn’t work cus FreeBSD says that account is not permitted access from that station. So I know give up, give me a proper linux server or light security abit so it dosent care who logs on from where See bloody BSD, lol I don't know anything about Samba, so I was wondering if someone here has seen a similar setup working. Is it really impossible to do what I want?

rubygems in ports
Hi I've been meaning to ask this for a while... what is the motivation for including individual Ruby gems in ports? It strikes me as unnecessary duplication, as the gem tool works well on its own, even for gems with C code. Are there many gems with FreeBSD-specific extensions or dependencies? And which is preferable - pure gems or ports+gems?

rc script for Jetty 6
After two days pulling my hair out with Jetty 5 I installed Jetty 6 manually.
It works but there's no real way to start and stop it, so I started writing
an rc script. Eventually I figured out it would be almost identical to the
Tomcat script so I've prepared a modified version (below). Thought I'd post
it in case anyone else uses Jetty 6.
As far as I can see it's almost identical to the Tomcat one but there's two
problems:
- stop doesn't work the same (I've had to put a hack in) because $rc_pid is
not being set. no idea why...
- the process in the output of ps -aux shows in full command line form, like
this:
jetty 69487 ... 2:57PM 0:05.31 /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java ...
while the output for Tomcat shows like this:
www 13404 ... 3:13PM 0:02.20 [java]
(Actually I think the second problem is the cause of the first.)
I'm not much of an rc guru. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

Getting JAVA_HOME for a jetty rc script
Just installed Jetty and I wanted to control it with an rc script, live every
other port I've installed ;o)
I came up with a simple wrapper to the handy script provided by jetty (see
below). Copy and paste from the Postgres script is about the extent of my rc
skills right now...
I'm actually happy with it for my limited purpose, the only thing I don't like
is hard-coding the JAVA_HOME value in there. I thought there would be a way
of determining this (javavmwrapper does it obviously) but I can't figure it
out.
Any clues anyone? (Also, any feedback? Does anyone else here miss an rc
script for Jetty?)
Cheers
Ashley

Please explain make -j to my little brain
Hi I've read the following snippet out of the handbook hundreds of times and still don't understand it. I even asked one of the developers I work with and he was baffled too. It is now possible to specify a -j option to make which will cause it to spawn several simultaneous processes. This is most useful on multi-CPU machines. However, since much of the compiling process is IO bound rather than CPU bound it is also useful on single CPU machines. What I want to know is, if compiling is IO bound, and you increase the number of simultaneous processes compiling your world, where do the extra processes get data from if the IO bandwidth is all used. Have I misunderstood the term IO bound? Please help, I feel like a right tool. Just as a side line... does anybody know the best -j value to build world on a 4-core box?

Upgrading 6.0 to 6.1 with etcmerge
I've got a few 6.0-RELEASE machines I want to bring up to date. I want to use etcmerge because mergemaster scares the bejesus out of me. I can create a copy of the standard 6.0-REL /etc using mergemaster, and copying /var/tmp/temproot/src to /var/db/src, that's no problem But I notice /usr/src/UPDATING contains the following: 20060204: The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing functionality in the base system. Be sure to follow the directions for updating, including the requirement to run mergemaster -p. So I figure after rebooting into single user mode and installing the new world, I have to take an extra step? I never figured out how to deal with the binary password db with etc merge, and I can't see anything in the man page. I hope someone can clear it up. I assume etcmerge is widely used, but it's not been updated (significantly) for so long I'm not sure. (Personally I think it should be in the base system!)

Hard disk problem? kdm bug? What is going on here...
The last two days I've had freezes when booting up my old 6-STABLE/i386 desktop. It gets as far as kdm (3.5.2) which then freezes. When I reboot into single user mode and after I've fscked the disk (or apparently something that sounds very similar) I can't start bash: # bash /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libintl.so.6 not found, required by bash However, the file exists and gettext, which also depends on the library, still runs! Forcing a recompile of gettext fixes bash. However, I only noticed this as a side effect of kdm hanging (simply because the first thing I do when I want to work in SU mode is mount -a bash). First time it happened I recompiled bash and kdm started; this morning I tried it and kdm hung again. I rebooted and sure enough bash was complaining about libintl.so.6, so this time I disabled kdm, recompiled gettext and did a startx after booting into multi-user mode. Works fine. fsck is reporting no errors on /usr/local (dev/ad0s1e) I'm stumped - I can't work out what the connection is between the symptoms. Any ideas anyone?

A long time ago I was tasked with the administration of some HP-UX boxes running on K-series hardware. I didn't setup the hardware and I didn't do the system install but I was expected, as the systems consultant, to give reasonable assurances that in the case of system failure the recovery procedures would work. As it turns out I had to also write those procedures. After I did so I insisted that a failure be simulated and that it be determined whether or not we could recover our operation starting from scratch with just our backups and system tapes. After all, there is no one easier to fire than a consultant and it's always the consultant's fault :) So my recommendation is that you simulate a disk going bad now before it happens for real. For instance, what happens if you unplug the disk from the controller, or remove its power connection, etc? Just my $0.02 Duane, Your $0.02 is probably worth a lot more than that... I'm not in a hurry to put things to the test but I will eventually. Fortunately, we've just bought redundant servers for everything (apart from a Win2k3 server running SQL Server, which cost us more in licensing than hardware, and which we are unfortunately stuck with for the foreseeable future). This server is one of them - so even if the whole array fails, we will have another machine to fall back on. But when it's settled down, I'll pull the plug on the primary drive and see if it will reboot. We have two more servers on the way destined to run Postgres. We've bought them with Areca RAID 6 cards, and I will definitely enjoy pulling two of the drives just to see what it does. Our new policy is redundant EVERYTHING in the live environment. Mainly this is not for the reduced protection from failure, but for the freedom to take servers offline for upgrades or testing. Currently we're in a situation where a guy's whole business depends on a single-disk webserver running Postgres (because it was the only BSD machine we had at the time), which desperately needs upgrading for performance tuning, but which we just can't do.

Restricted SFTP access to server for one user
Thanks to an unfortunate turn of events, we are hosting a website for a client that should have been hosted externally. Now he wants FTP access to a directory on the server. I don't want to install an FTP program, and we don't use password authentication for SSH, so I'm going to tell him to create a key pair and send us his public key. I can remove his login shell, but how do I restrict him to only view his home directory over SFTP?

RAID error out of memory in ata_raid_init_request plus phantom filesystem errors
I'm using the VIA on-board RAID of an Asus A8V Deluxe in RAID-1 on a server running FreeBSD 6.0/amd64. The server has 2GB RAM. I just saw on the console the following messages which happened around the time of the successful fetch: Feb 28 09:43:03 don FAILURE - out of memory in ata_raid_init_request Feb 28 09:43:03 don FAILURE - out of memory in ata_raid_init_request Feb 28 09:43:03 don FAILURE - out of memory in ata_raid_init_request Feb 28 09:43:03 don g_vfs_done():ar0s1h[WRITE(offset=98480537600, length=8192)]error = 5 Feb 28 09:43:03 don g_vfs_done():ar0s1h[WRITE(offset=98480519168, length=2048)]error = 5 Feb 28 09:43:03 don g_vfs_done():ar0s1h[WRITE(offset=98480531456, length=4096)]error = 5 Googling the error didn't through up anything useful. What causes this exactly? The server is hardly using any of the RAM it has right now. My 152 GB /var partition is now showing errors. When I reboot into single-user mode, fsck thinks the file system is clean. On continuing into multi-user mode, I get these errors: - [EMAIL PROTECTED] fsck -n /var ** /dev/ar0s1h (NO WRITE) ** Last Mounted on /var ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD SALVAGE? no BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS SALVAGE? no 119715 files, 6100274 used, 73522326 free (7158 frags, 9189396 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) - (I ran it at the physical console and actually got more errors) Overall I'm very concerned. We recently lost this whole server when the ATA RAID (on a different board) failed miserably and both disks ended up with masses of random errors, leaving it unbootable. I've recently been talking to a guy off the amd64 list whose opinion of on-board SATA RAID is simply POS. Would it be possible to split the SATA RAID, and reconfigure the system to use gmirror? Apparently that's a better solution.

Re: portsnap failing
On Saturday 25 February 2006 03:07, Donald J. O'Neill wrote: Why are you deleting the portsnap files. That's a 39 MB file that you have to download everytime you do that. The idea is to just download the patches necessary to update the ports tree after 'portsnap fetch', 'portsnap install' has been run once. After that, all you need to do is run 'portsnap fetch update', you'll get plenty of action from that. I think by now you're going to have to remove the ports tree and start over. Why not do it an easier way. I deleted the portsnap files because the incremental update didn't work, so I wanted to know if it would work from scratch. I'm not in a habit of deleting them every time I update the ports tree! For some reason though, neither works now, although they fail in (apparently) different ways.

Log analysis server suggestions?
Until recently I had a server running syslog-ng set to archive all logs into server/year/month/day/ directories. Now the server is running in amd64, we've lost our hi-res scrolling display so I want to look at a better log watching system. I've read about logging to a database. I quite like the idea of storing our logs in PostgreSQL (I don't like MySQL and don't want to get involved in administering a second database). I know I can log to a PG database quite easily, but I don't know how I can get the data back out without writing manual queries. Here is what I need: - Logs stored for the last 6 months or so, and easily searchable - Live log watching - Log analysis I might try swatch for the live log watching as this is not affected by the choice of log storage and seems the best tool for the job. As for searching / analysis, I've seen php-syslog-ng ( http://www.vermeer.org/projects/php-syslog-ng ), which looks very basic, and phpLogCon ( http://www.phplogcon.com/ ), which does not support PG anyway. Is there anything better GUI-wise? Maybe I am best keeping the logs in text files for now, and spending more time on swatch. Any thoughts?

How to perform a system-only re-install i386-amd64
I'm sure someone has done this before but I wanted to run my plan past everyone to see if I've thought of everything. Yesterday one of our development servers (running FreeBSD 6-release) croaked. It was an old old old machine and we ended up replacing the board and CPU with an MSI Neo2 Platinum (nForce 3 chipset) and Athlon 64 setup. We just swapped the board and re-connected the old array. It works fine but obviously it's running in i386 mode. I don't need to run i386 compatability on this machine because I don't need to run any Linux binaries. I've googled and read through the amd64 list and the consensus seems to be that (a) amd64 is stable enough for production use and (b) very fast. I've heard that it's easiest to reinstall from scratch rather than do a source upgrade in place. So I've downloaded the amd64 ISOs. I tried to prepare for this situation when I first installed the machine. I have each of these in separate partitions: / /usr/local /usr/ports /var /home /tmp Here is my plan: * # pkg_deinstall -ato get rid of all my i386 software * backup /etc to /var/i386etc * Reboot from FreeBSD 6 amd64 disc 1 * Choose Standard installation * On the partitioning screen, reformat the / partition and set the others up to match the current layout (I've never done this but I hope it's intuitive) * Install exactly how I did before (they will both be 6-RELEASE so shouldn't be a problem) * Reboot into the amd64 system * Copy /var/i386etc over /etc Here I'm assuming that the configuration is architecture-independent- is this correct? I have a tarball I made of the i386 6-REL /etc files so I can diff them before I install mine anyway * Recompile the kernel with i386 compatability (or can this be added during installation?) * # cd /var/db/portsnap/* rm -R INDEX files serverlist tINDEX tag \ portsnap fetch portsnap extract to get me the amd64 ports tree * Copy the i386 package I made on my desktop for the BSD jdk14 to the server and install from the package * Compile a native jdk15 * Deinstall jdk14 * Re-compile the kernel without x86 compatability, install and reboot * Reinstall all ports by hand- they should assume their previous roles as all the configs and data should be in /usr/local and I appreciate that this is quite a long question and probably has been answered before in pieces but I'd be grateful if anyone can pick holes in it before I start so I don't waste all Sunday afternoon!

Questions about make arguments for ports
Hello,
When upgrading a machine from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 I came across the problem of
how to re-compile all the ports to use FreeBSD 6 libraries so I can ditch the
compat5x port.
man portupgrade I should # portupgrade -aRf to force a re-compile but that
then brought up the issue of how to configure each build. I found the
section in pkgtools.conf that lets you specify arguments to pass to make but
how do I deal with ports that have a config make target?
I mean I could add MAKE_ARGS = { 'java/jdk115' = 'WITHOUT_WEB=1' } to
pkgtools.conf, but is there a way to specify these arguments in this file, or
is there no choice but to configure manually first time?
The reason I ask is because I would like to schedule software updates to run
nightly but I don't want them to either rebuild with the wrong options or
find out it hung on a config screen.
Also I have another question that I can't suss out from either the man pages
or the Mk files: what happens to the configs if you use portupgrade -P?
Seeing as there is only package file per port I assume it gets compiled with
a default set of options and you lost any config options.
I am thinking that perhaps the best strategy is to decide which software I can
use from packages and which I need to compile, configure pkgtools.conf to
download the source or binary versions as appropriate, set MAKE_ARGS for
ports with no config options and pre-configure the rest. The more I look the
more amazed I am at the flexibility of the ports system but the more I wish
it was completely documented!!!

I've recently switched my work desktop to FreeBSD 6. Virtually everything I could to before I can now do as well as or better. I found an old Pentium 3 machine to run Windows, and when I need it I can VNC in. (If you use WinXP I think you can use rdektop which is more than fast enough for occasional use). You could also consider vmware, which is like qemu but faster, and only $189 (cheaper than a second PC if you don't have one spare) Having said all this, I haven't booted my Windows machine today.

Re: Which firewall?

There will be no servers running, only inet access for the users but I'd like to make traffic limitation for users (download and upload). Which firewall of the three one explained in the handbook do you recommend? Regards, Sasa Sasa We have found pf to be the best firewall. It's got a simple and flexible configuration, and using pfsync you can configure redundant firewalls. (You can literally pul the plug on one and connections across the firewall cluster will continue uninterrupted.

I'm a wee bit confused here, but I do understand what you are trying to
do.
First, did you compile a new kernel with the following option?:
options BRIDGE
Second, try giving both PC's a static IP address, and disconnect the
FBSD box entirely from the network (so you essentially have a 2 pc
network), then commence testing.
HTH,

Thanks for the reply
I didn't recompile a kernel specifically for this. I thought the bridge was a
KLD (/boot/kernel/if_bridge.ko)? ifconfig shows the bridge as running.

A kernel module must be loaded before if_bridge will work, but seems to load automatically when creating the bridge interface. Alternatively, if_bridge can be compiled into the kernel with the following line: device if_bridge I've even read where the bridge(4) bridging mode is deprecated. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Erik I'm definitely using if_bridge, not bridge. And I read that bridge is depreciated too. I'm starting to wonder if it's Small Business Server malfunctioning.

if_bridge interface confuses Windows Small Business Server 2000
FreeBSD 6 came at the perfect time for me. I've just switched my primary desktop from Win2k to FreeBSD, and I put the Windows boot disk in an old machine that was heading for the skip. I wanted to access the W2k machine (fred) over VNC without flooding our switch, so I thought let's take advantage of the new features in REL 6... I added a second ethernet card to my FreeBSD box (alfie) and configured a bridge in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ifconfig_rl1=up cloned_interfaces=bridge0 ifconfig_bridge0=addm rl0 addm rl1 up gateway_enable=YES SBS is configured to give a static DHCP lease of 192.168.0.181 to alfie; fred is dynamic and is currently 192.168.0.35. At first everything seemed fine, and fred operates as if it was plugged straight into the network. But... 1) SBS sees both machines as alfie, even though it correctly reports the MAC addresses of each machine 2) On alfie, when I want to make a VNC connection to fred I have to type vnc viewer alfie(!) 3) On fred, if I ping alfie it returns 192.168.0.35 as the IP number, not 181 which is the static lease. I assume this is a bug in if_bridge, only because I assumed that bridge interfaces should be transparent (and act like a physical switch). When we get some small switches in I'll use one to connect the two machines together, but I'd still like to work out what's going on here. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Subversion on FreeBSD?
Yuan Jue wrote: Hi all Is there a subversion system for FreeBSD sourcecode? Or there is only CVS to control the source code? Does that mean that subversion is not stable enough to take this big job? If you were evaluating Subversion then it is stable enough to handle big projects. Off the top of my head, Samba and several Apache projects use Subversion. I think what stops most people switching to it is usually the migration rather than the package ourself. When we migrated from Visual Source Shredder to SVN we gave up and abandoned the history (just re-imported the files), but for some projects that might not be viable.
