Re: SCSI AHC 2940
Quoting Pierrick Brossin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: So today I tried the following: use an IDE 8Gb HD to install FBSD 5.0 and then plug the SCSI drive to create a partition and mount it. Everything went smooth until I started copying file to the mount point of the 9Gb SCSI HD. I first copied /bin to /newhd and it did it without any trouble. I was really suprised that it was working so I decided to copy something bigger to make sure it was NOT working :) So I copied /usr to /newhd and it crashed. I was pretty sure the errors messages would be in /var/log/messages so I rebooted the computer and saw that I was completely wrong. Actually it started copying file and ended with a bunch of errors followed by a disk syncing (like when you shut down your comp). Now, is there a way to log the error messages so I can tell you exactly what I get so you can (maybe and hopefully) help me ? Do you have an extra computer, null modem cable? If so, hook up the extra computer to the serial port of your freebsd box, enable logging via your terminal program of choice, then repeat whatever steps are needed. Other things you may or may not have checked: In my days of working with Adaptec SCSI cards, I came to the conclusion that termination was best handled manually. While the system is POST'ing you should see something about Adaptec yada yada. Hit Ctrl-A, to bring up the Adaptec BIOS settings, and make sure the termination is set properly. Since you only have one drive, you should have termination enabled on both the card and the drive. You should also be able to see the drive from within Adaptec's SCSI Tools. After setting the termination properly, run a verify media test. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: five networks

My DSL router has network 192.168.0, I also have one of my fbsd boxes in this network (192.168.0.2) 3. I can add the other machines to the 192.168.0 network, no problem, using default router 192.168.0.1, broadcast 255.255.255.0, 4. I tried to configure 192.168.2.1 on one box, using gateway_enable=YES, router_enable=YES, defaultrouter=192.168.2.1doesnt work. defaultrouter is used to define the host's router of last resort. It doesn't configure any interfaces on the host. If you want a BSD host to act as a router, it's advised that you have more than one NIC, and that you configure those NICs with valid IPs and netmasks for each connected network. example: tl0 and fxp0 as interfaces... ifconfig_tl0=inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 gateway_enable=YES router_enable=NO The defaultrouter assumes that you want to use the DSL router as the default gateway for this host. I've set router_enable to NO, because from the nature of your question, and the lack of complexity in your network, I doubt that you are actually running any routing protocols (RIP, etc.) which would need routed running. You'd be better served with plain static routes on each gateway.

HOWTO upgrade a FreeBSD production server
I'm hoping to get a few suggestions on a quick and safe method to upgrade a FreeBSD production server. To date, I've been doing the following: On a like configured staging server, cvsup the src tree. Then perform a full build and install as outlined in /usr/src/Makefile. After confirming that the host operates as planned, I create a tarball of /usr/src and /usr/obj. I then transfer and extract the tarball on the production server(s), where I then perform installkernel / reboot / installworld. I'd like to find something a little quicker that doesn't require so much free space on the production server. I've looked at DESTDIR and creating a tarball of that directory on the staging server, but I've had problems during extraction with files and the 'schg' flag. Any suggestions?

mdconfig, cd9660 and mount -o rw
I'm aware that under normal circumstances, cd9660 should always be read-only, but I was hoping I'd be able to make changes to an iso image, and then burn the modified image. The image is bootable, and I'm looking to avoid breaking the bootable nature of the CD by my inept use of mkisofs. Here's what I've tried... (as root) # chown root:wheel /tmp/mycd.iso # chmod 666 /tmp/mycd.iso # mkdir /mnt/cd # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/mycd.iso -u 1 # mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/md1 /mnt/cd This works, and /mnt/cd is the iso's filesystem. However, the rw argument is ignored. Any actions which would write to the iso image fail with Read-only file system. The mount command also shows... /dev/md1 on /mnt/cd (cd9660, local, read-only) Suggestions? or should I just RTFM on mkisofs and bootable CDs --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

FreeBSD Media Player equivalent...
I've finally decided to run FreeBSD as my primary workstation environment. Previously I have only used it as a server platform. I've managed to replace most of the desktop utilities I need, but I need a good replacement for Windows Media Player. I'm looking for opinions here I'd like an application that works well as a stream player (i.e. supports playing mp3/mpeg/avi/etc from a web site via mozilla) as well as playing dvd/vcd/divx/dvd/etc from the localhost. I'm also looking for an application that has the concept of easy to install/manage codecs. I'd like to avoid having to --enable via configure and re-compile each time I need a new codec. The GUI need not be pretty, but should not be kludgy, and adware would be a big minus. If the application supported network updates of both the player and the codec w/o adware, I'd even be willing to throw some money towards a yearly subscription.

Re: file system trouble
The /home filesystem was full (121G partition on a 3ware escalade raid) So i deleted 7G, but df did not show any difference. The fs is mounted w/ soft-updates. I issued a sync command, but still no change. The files were no longer shown in ls, but space was not freed. So i decided to reboot, to make sure that the deleted files are not still opened by some process. The shutdown went normal, but at the end it said: sysncing disks.. 3321 3321 3321 3316 . giving up on 1 buffers. When rebooting, all fs were unclean and i had to wait the usual 20 minutes for fsck to complete. I've seen the same 'df' situation when softupdates are enabled, but I've never tried to resolve the problem with a reboot. I just ignore the 'df' output, and proceed normally. After some time passes, 'df' returns to reporting the expected values. I've always thought this was normal with softupdates. However, I've not had your problem with the fsck, but then again... I've not rebooted soon after deleting 7GB of data from a file system.

Re: Silly question re: Apache NameVitualHost directive
I'm wondering why/how I can get multiple NameVirtualHost IP addresses to answer? For example, I have one IP listed in the NameVirtualHost directive (e.g. 11.22.33.44), in my VitualHost 'containers' I use that IP like so: VirtualHost 11.22.33.44 etc. For some reason, I've never been able to get a * to work on FreeBSD? Anyway, I have several Ips aliased on the NIC and I'd like to use them as separate NameVirtualHost addresses, so that I can also point domains to 11.22.33.55 and have them respond to the VirtualHost 11.22.33.55 directives. At the moment, I can't seem to get this working? All you need is multiple NameVirtualHost directives in your httpd.conf Example: NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.44 NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.55 NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.66 Second, when you're doing NameVirtualHost, you should avoid using IP based names in virtualhost. The purpose of Named hosts, is to use the browser supplied host header to identify which virtual server to use. Then when apache parses the VirtualHost insert.domain.name.here it will lookup the IP for the given name, and if it matches one of the NameVirtualHosts, name based hosting will be used for that host. You will get a warning if you have a NameVirtualHost directive, and none of the Vhosts have a name which resolves to that IP. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Silly question re: Apache NameVitualHost directive
So, I should have the following... NameVirtualHost * VirtualHost www.domain.com /VitualHost VitualHost www.domain2.com /VirtualHost And those will anser on all/any IPs that are resolving to the box? I'm not sure about the '*' directive. It may work. On my hosts with multiple IPs, I tend to limit NameVirutalHosting to one or two of the available IPs.

want to move the repository. can i tar up the files in the root directory and
save it on a cd?
I would also like to back up my mysql databases for the same reasons. can i tar
those up for later use?
Not sure about cvs... However, for mysql, you should use mysqldump.
# mysqldump -u {username} -p{password} {database} ./{database}.`date
+%Y%m%d-%H%M`.sql
This will give you a nice datestamped sql script
to rebuild your database.
However, this will only contain your database
information and structure. You will also need a backup
of the mysql database (users, permissions, etc).
# mysqldump -u root -pmysql_root_password mysql ./mysql.`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`.sql
A final option is too just backup all of the databases in one shot.
# mysqldump -u root -pmysql_root_password --all-databases ./FULL.`date
+%Y%m%d-%H%M`.sql

(as root) # cd /usr/ports/security/racoon # make # make install maybe you should post the specific error messages you're receiving. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Instaling on a Compaq Proliant with SmartArray 221
I'm having problems with Compaq Hardware as well. I don't know if this helps you, but the Compaq SmartArray Adapters have a service partition which must be the boot-partition. Only installed linux on these machines so far. I know that you have to configure the boot-partition for your OS but don't remember if freebsd was an option. Actually you don't. The Compaq diagnostic partition doesn't have to be installed. I've installed W2K, Linux, and FreeBSD 4.x w/o the diagnostic partition. It can make your life easier, because you then don't need the Smart Start CD to make BIOS changes, but that's about it. My problem is with FreeBSD 5.0. Obviously something has changed, which is keeping 5.0's install CD, from booting on certain Compaq hardware. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: 5.25 Floppy

Re: monochrome monitor
I have a monochrome monitor I'd like to plug in to a pentium-based FBSD router. This worked fine on the old 386 computer it came from, but now that the 386 is dead, I'd still like to use it over a color monitor. Pulling the VGA card and replacing it with the mono card and monitor does not work. Any thoughts? (I didn't find anything useful in the handbook or archives, but maybe I missed something.) Does your system's bios support older video? Video selection is normally found on the first bios setup page. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Instaling on a Compaq Proliant with SmartArray 221
I am a FreeBSD Newbie trying to install 5.0, but I will Install any Version that will work, on a Compaq Proliant, Dual 550 MHz with 512 MB RAM, Smart Array 221 RAID Controller with a RAID 5 Array (4 * 18.2GB) drives.

Re: about ifconfig
I would like to know if this command 'ifconfig fxp0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex' remains effective even after reboots. And, how can I set full-duplex option for a particular interface while it is initializing at boot time ? No, it won't survive a cold start, and I doubt it would survive a reboot. In /etc/rc.conf, you should append media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex to your existing ifconfig_fxp0. example: ifconfig_fxp0=inet a.b.c.d netmask w.x.y.z media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex If this is a DHCP interface, then it might be best to add the media settings to either rc.local, or to /etc/start_if.fxp0 --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Problems with IPSec
I have a FreeBSD box running -STABLE which has had IPSec working with other
hosts for quite some time without a problem. I've just setup another
FreeBSD box running 5.0-RC1 and am trying to establish a VPN tunnel but am
not getting too far. I'm using racoon and when attempting the negotiation
with debugging enabled, the following message appears:
2003-01-20 12:00:23: ERROR: pfkey.c:207:pfkey_handler(): pfkey ADD failed:
Invalid argument
and the following message is logged via syslog:
Jan 20 12:00:23 atlas kernel: key_mature: invalid AH key length 160 (128-128
allowed)
The relevant section of racoon.conf which is identical on both boxes is:
sainfo anonymous
{
pfs_group 1;
lifetime time 86400 sec;
encryption_algorithm 3des ;
authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1 ;
compression_algorithm deflate ;
}
The box running -STABLE has been working fine with this configuration so I'm
assuming the problem is with the box running 5.0-RC1. Interestingly, I've
also tried using des as the encryption algorithm and hmac_md5 as the
authentication algorithm and I receive the following error message:
racoon: failed to parse configuration file.
If anyone has any suggestions for a fix, or how I go about further
diagnosing this problem, I'd love to hear from you.
Regards,
Scott.
It looks like the AH key length needs to be forced to 128 bits???
From:
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/utilities/r/racoon.conf.html
For algorithms that can take variable-length keys, algorithm names can be followed by
a key length, like blowfish 448.
Have you tried something along the lines of '3des 128' ?
Just a guess.
