NATD: net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 vs firewall_type=OPEN
Hello, Handbook section 31.9 describes the setup of NAT. Section 31.9.3 suggests net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1 during the first attempts to setup a firewall and NAT gateway. Section 31.9.5 suggests I specify a predefined firewall ruleset that allows anything in with firewall_type=OPEN Question: What is the difference between these two configurations (or where can I go to learn the difference between the two)?

NAT: Handbook vs mailing list
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-natd.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-April/229017.html Hello, Handbook section 31.9.3 suggests I should, among other things, add the line ipdivert_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf when setting up NAT. The mailing list message linked above suggests that the handbook information is the old way and that the correct way is to set ipfw_enable and natd_enable in rc.conf. Then /etc/rc.d/ipfw will load ipfw.ko, and if natd_enable is set, will invoke /etc/rc.d/natd, which loads ipdivert.ko at the right time. My inclination is to follow the handbook, but I thought I should first check to ensure the handbook is up-to-date.

Re: which port (qt4 part?) contains linguist.dcf et al.?
Fair enough. I grabbed that from a vanilla 9.1-RELEASE install that hasn't had any updates to the tree. I now see that it has been removed after updating the ports tree on that box. /usr/ports.old/x11-toolkits/qt33 # cat distinfo SHA256 (KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2) = e8c3f703d00a4e2ab9ba63fd474caa8a9d0aa3d7f1d5451dd162bec9d778a449 SIZE (KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2) = 14360483 Looks like it's still available here (sha256 matches): http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/KDE/qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.bz2 Cheers, Chris On Sep 13, 2013, at 11:33 AM, Gary Aitken vagab...@blackfoot.net wrote: On 09/13/13 10:47, Chris Kelley wrote: Just a quick search through ports/x11-toolkits: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits # grep -R linguist.dcf * qt33/pkg-plist:share/doc/qt/html/linguist.dcf Looks to be x11-toolkits/qt33.

MacOS X comes with a shasum utility which implements SHA-256 checksums, so you should be able to look at a few random samples of these files, e.g. by running on the source disk: shasum -a 256 source_directory/file/path/to/some/file.ext shasum -a 256 copied_directory/file/path/to/some/file.ext If these are the same, then the applications look elsewhere, e.g. in the 'hidden' .DS_Store stuff some MacOS directories contain. But if the checksums are different, well, then there's your problem. Checksums are the same.

If I delete .DS_Store will the system regenerate it with the appropriate file associations? The .DS_Store files are created by the Finder when you view a directory. Are both source and destination on Mac HFS+ volumes ? If so, then you are probably missing the resource forks. Back in the very old days of Mac OS (way before 10.x), Mac OS files had two parts, the data part that contained the, well, data, and the resource fork that contained the meta-data that Mac OS used to associate a file with an application. HFS+ volumes on Mac OS X still include the resource forks, but foreign filesystems (NFS, UFS, FAT, etc.) do not. The work around that Apple came up with is to create .DS_Store and ._foo files to store this metadata on non HFS+ volumes. You could try using ditto instead of rsync. ditto is a BSD derived copy utility similar to rysnc, but I know that the Mac OS X version understands resource forks and copies them as necessary. ditto may not be able to just copy changed blocks within a file, so you may still have to recopy the entire file. But…. I am also a little puzzled because applications on Mac OS X do not NEED the resource fork to open a file, just to know which application to use (and what options to hand it) to open a given file. A complete video file, even without resource forks, should be able to be opened if you explicitly telly he application to File - Open …. With the checksums matching it is even odder. I expect that the large sizes (over 4 GB) are a contributing factor. Good luck and let me know what you find. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company Thank you for the detailed description of what resource forks are. One more clue in this mystery is that appending .mov extension to it fixes the problem. I have never ran into this before, and I have even used rsync to back up movie projects before. It is not a big deal, but I always try to take the time to understand why things behave the way they do. I also suspect it has something to do with file size since all of the smaller files do not have this issue.

OT: rsync on Mac OSX
I have been using rsync with Mac OSX with no issues until today. I generally use it instead of the copy command because if the copy fails on large files, I can pick up where I left off. I have backed up entire Final Cut Pro projects this way with no issues. However, I recently synced a drive to a folder in another drive, and the OS does not recognize the final rendered files as quicktime files. The files work fine in the parent drive. I have no idea what might be going on. I used the flags: rsync -vaur like I always do. Any suggestions?

This is a FreeBSD list, so any issues rsync may have with MacOS X are not very relevant to what FreeBSD is doing or would do. Having said that though, can you try without the -u option? Maybe modification times are newer on the target drive and rsync skips everything. You should probably also enable --stats and have a look at the final report of rsync, to see if it actually sync'ed any files, or skipped all of them because of mtime checks. Yep, the files copied, and I used touch to force them to recopy. However, the files that were copied are not recognizable by their native aps. Just big junk files. I have no clue what happened. I am just copying everything by a simple cut and paste this time. However, this directory is HUGE and I won't know until about 18 hours from now.

Re: Any BASIC Gurus around?
On closer inspection it looks like the moons in the right spot, but the Sun is in the wrong spot. I will take a look and see if there is no error in the lines that deal with the Sun's Az/El. I have the original code that was scanned from a USNO document. The OCR was rather sloppy. I will post the original in a minute and send the link.

The fact that on very rare occasions a minute may not have 60 seconds in it plus many other corner cases in calculating the current wall-clock time is an amusing irrelevance. First of all, sleep deals in local elapsed time, which is a well defined property even if the displayed wall-clock time would be all over the place due to DST changes or relativistic effects or whatever. In this case, I'd be pretty surprised if GNU sleep's algorithm was anything more complicated than to convert the stated time into seconds and then sleep that number of seconds. And to do that conversion, it wwould just define one minute as 60 seconds, one hour as 60 minutes, one day as 24 hours, one week as 7 days, perhaps one month as 30 days, one year as 365 days[*]. Sure, it's simplistic and unsophisticated, but as an engineering solution it's good enough for the vast majority of purposes. OK, but is this really something the OS should handle? I'm sure sleep `expr 3600 \* 2` will suffice and is perfectly readable, including being more portable. Why should we keep putting these weird extensions in?

Re: Linksys WPC54g NDIS compiles but doesn't work?
On 02/05/2013 16:02, Steven wrote: Hello, I posted this once already, but I wasn't subscribed at the time and I don't think it got posted to the list. Hopefully this isn't a dupe. I've installed FreeBSD 9.1 RELEASE on a family member's laptop, a Toshiba Satellite 5100. Said member was using a Linksys WPC54g v.4 pcicard for wireless. I downloaded the v.4 drivers for the card from the Cisco website and was able to use ndisgen to build a wrapper for the driver. Hi, I have a PCMCIA WPC54g V5 which works with malo(4). It might work with your V4. You need to download some firmware - see the man page. Chris There were no errors during the build and I'm able to load the resultant ndis, but aside from some initial static when the ndis is loaded the card is not being configured. ndis0 doesn't show in the dmesg and doesn't appear in the ifconfig output. Before I built the wrapper I had updated my source, base and userland so all of that should have been up to date for the system I was building it against. I'm getting to the point where I'd rather spend the cash on something compatible from Free's hardware list, but I'd like to give this ndis thing one more go before I tell this family member to chuck the card. kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 18 0xc040 fd35e8 kernel 2 1 0xc13d4000 4bdd4 bcmwl5_sys.ko 3 3 0xc142 1fa58 ndis.ko 4 2 0xc144 f1e4 if_ndis.ko ifconfig fwe0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU ether 02:00:39:16:49:4e nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL ch 1 dma -1 fwip0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 lladdr 0.0.39.0.0.16.49.4e.a.2.ff.fe.0.0.0.0 nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=2009RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,WOL_MAGIC ether 00:00:39:f4:73:9f inet 10.0.1.19 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 16384 options=63RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 nd6 options=21PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2012 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: Upgrade causes loss of all firefox settings (?)
On 12/02/2013 21:38, Ronald F. Guilmette wrote: In general, I don't upgrade my ports very often, so up until recently I was running a fairly old version of firefox (firefox-15.0.1,1). But over the weekend, I moved everything over to a new drive containing the latest 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD, and with a complete set of freshly rebuilt ports, including the latest firefox 18.0.1. (As part of this process, I copied my entire /home directory over to the new drive.) So anway, mostly everything is still working ok, however at some time during this process, firefox apparently lost track of all of my personal settings... my start page, all of my bookmarks, and all of my saved web site user IDs an passwords. I looked in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file for some clue as to why this might have happened and found none. Looking into this issue a bit deeper, I've now learned that all of one's personal settings are stored in a directory having a name which has the following general form: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default where the part is some eight character apparently random combination of lower case letters and digits. The odd thing is that it appears that all of my old firefox setting are still alive and well and living under a subdirectory of the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory called 4up9dkb1.default. However it does also appear that my execution of firefox, for the first time, on this new system I've been putting together has resulted in the creation of a brand new parallel subdirectory, located in the same directory as my original personal settings .default directory, but this new one is named nh2ykiym.default. And now, firefox is apparently saving and retrieving my (new set of) personal settings out of that new directory. So, um, what gives? Why did this happen? And more to the point, can I get back all of my personal settings just via the following seemingly intutive commands: rm -fr nh2ykiym.default mv 4up9dkb1.default nh2ykiym.default or will that break something else in some obscure but annoying way? Is there a file .mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini? If so it should list which profile to use. Just change it to the one you want and it should just work.

You would need to do two changes: First in the password database, with chsh (tidy way) or by editing the /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group files plus rebuilding the database with pwd_mkdb (untidy way) to assign rocketmouse = 1000 on FreeBSD. Could you do this with pw(8)? # pw usermod rocketmouse -u 1000 checking first there isn't a uid 1000 already. Then chown -R Chris Then you would also have to promote this change to the file system, as all the files still belong to a user with UID 1001. Use chown -R with the new numerical value of 1000. Result: Your user would have the UID 1000 on all systems, so all the low level functions would behave similarly. Or another idea would be to create a new user with the uid 1000 and then to add rocketmouse to the group of this user. I guess this is what you already recommended. Yes, that would also work.

Thank you. I can rebuild everything with DEBUG_FLAGS=-g. But do I need to do that in only boot? And, that message says: Please use debug versions of the loaders and report the output of `ctrace` on the boot monitor prompt. Building debug versions is most easily done via `make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g` in path/to/src/boot when building natively. You can also add the same when cross- compiling but then you'll end up with debug versions of everything. In both cases, make sure to not have any old object files in place. But, I'm not sure what the boot monitor prompt refers to, where i'm supposed to enter ctrace. When the boot crashes, I'm left at the open prom. Is that where I'm supposed to enter ctrace?

Okay. It occurred to me today what was likely the problem. I was running,
even when single user, off of the zfs pool on the disks I was trying to write
the bootloader to.
I tar'd up /boot after my recent install from a Dec 22 9-stable, and moved it
off-host. Then, I booted off of the July stable-9 CD-ROM I have in the
machine, and was able to write bootblocks (with gpart bootcode) and a
bootloader (dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/${disk}a bs=512 oseek=1024
conv=notrunc).
Now, the new problem. When I try to boot my sparc64 with these bits, I see:
FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block
Boot path: /pci@1c,60/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a

So, does anyone know if something has gone unstable in the sparc64 zfsboot in

gpart bootcode, it boots correctly again.
Thanks. Any feedback appreciated.

Google searching shows what I used last time, that if you get a:

you need to run
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
But, that doesn't change anything for me now. I can write the boot label
(using gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot ${disk}) to neither disk, getting the
same error in both cases.
Has something changed recently? I'm currently using a Dec 22 9-stable

FreeBSD Install Problem

It doesn't matter if I tried installing it from the CD or the DVD, I still have the same problem. I even tried re-downloading and re-burning a new CD or DVD, and I'm still unable to install. I even have problems going through the sysinstall route. In the installation process, I'm able to go far to the partitioning area in where the problem occurs. I click for Guided partitioning and then I receive this Abort message: Abort -- An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the installation or exit the installer? --- [ Restart ] [ Exit ] - When I click restart I end up with the same result, and I end up in a neverending cycle of unable to install.

So some questions that might point me in the right direction: - How can I find out which type of card this laptop actually has (can I read it out of dmesg, some PCI listing or whatever)? All I can find are product sheets saying that it has 11b/g/n, but doesn't help me to find a driver. I Is there some meta-module that loads all the native wifi drivers that I can use that I can test? - If I need to use NDIS emulation, does anyone think it will work for this model/card? Windows drivers can be found here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/default.page). The handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html#CONFIG-NETWORK-NDIS) says I need Win XP drivers, is that old text or do I need that? I can't find XP drivers on the lenovo page... - If NDIS should be possible, how do I extract the .sys and .inf file from the exe that I downloaded from the URL above (I don't have any Windows machine right now).

I've been through 2 Linksys units, both of which required constant reboots and both of which died after almost exactly a year. I tried a Hawking HWREN1 which is still working after slightly more than a year but has trouble with encrypted traffic and also requires frequent reboots. I also tried a Hawking HW2R1, which was much less flaky than the HWREN1 and handled encrypted traffic OK, but died after about 3 months. Since these things cost $100-$140 apiece, it would be cost effective to to pay more for a unit that worked consistently and didn't die after a few months of light use.

Locally modifying ports
So, I've been a NetBSD user for many years, and am looking more at FreeBSD now. Trying to build myself a system, I find that I have a long-held delta to a package on my NetBSD system, and I keep it in a patch-local-* file in NetBSD pkgsrc. I can't figure out if FreeBSD ports has a way to keep and automatically apply local patches to ports. I want to modify the way the internals of a package/port operate, and not in a way that makes sense to move up- stream. It's just my preference. Is there a way in FreeBSD ports to keep a make this change to the source code after extracting and before compiling type of thing in the tree?

Nut sure whether this is still relevant in newer versions of FreeBSD, but documentation suggest that it is no longer the case with newer versions. -- Regards, Chris Knipe ___ 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: ACPI temprature settings [WAS: Re: laptop very hot and noisy]

I prop my mine up off the desk to get better airflow to the fan intake which is on the underside. The fan slows down when I lift it up indicating it is moving more air. I rebuilt gcc47 and saw the highest temperature of 75. This is on the southern side, so not too bad. The noise reduced too.

I had a quick look at ⌡aacpi(4), but none of the above are mentioned. Many thanks for all your help. Google for acpi_tz0: _CRT value is absurd, ignored and you will find a long thread with some hopefully useful pointers. You may need to bone up on the ACPI reference and custom ASL's for FreeBSD. I've forgotten most of it now but I think you will find references for both of them in that thread.

Re: OpenLDAP 2.4.31 on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 broken!
On 5 May 2012 16:55, Hartmann, O. ohart...@zedat.fu-berlin.de wrote:
Hello lists.
Since Friday, I have on all of our FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 boxes
massive trouble with net/openldap24-server (SASL enabled, so it is
openldap-sasl-server).
Last time OpenLDAP worked was Thursday last week, when obviously a
problematic update to the OS was made - it is a wild guess, since I did
daily make world and by the end of the day after the last make world
things went worse. I'm sorry having no SVN release tag handy.
Well, here some facts.
1) The update of net/openldap24-server has been performed earlier this
month and has been run successfully (2.4.31).
2) It doesn't matter whether OpenLDAP is compiled with CLANG 3.1 or
legacy GCC 4.2.1, compiled with CLANG, slapd(8C) coredumps immediately,
compiled with gcc, it starts, but when slapd(8C) gets accessed, it
coredumps immediately. A simple id ohartmann is enough.
3) I recompiled OpenLDAP 2.4.31 client and server and it requisites via
portmaster -f net/openldap24-server|client. No effect/success. I also
recompiled every port used with OpenLDAP: security/pam_ldap and
net/nss_ldap.
4) OpenLDAP server uses DB5 based backend.
5) The very same configuration (copied slap.d folder's .ldif files)
works fine on FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE/amd64, even compiled with CLANG. This
makes me believe this is a FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT specific bug.
6) Following is a truss output of the following comand issued:
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -d32 -o ldap -g ldap -F

7) Desperately, I tried nearly every variation of the configurable
overlays, even those my configuration doesn't use. But this seems
nonesense since OpenLDAP worked before.
I'm floating like a dead man in the water and I was wondering if someone
else doesn't face this problem. FreeBSD is said to be run in large
environments, so at least one should have OpenLDAP as user backend
running ...
I need some help in this case.
Why are you running -CURRENT in production?
