Problem completing a 9.1 release to 9.2 release upgrade

2013-10-05 Thread Eric Feldhusen
I have a server that was/is running 9.1 release that I tried to upgrade to
9.2 release.  I missed the step of updating to the latest 9.1 patches by
doing

freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install

I went right to

freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE
freebsd-update install

rebooot

freebsd-update install

reboot again

But my system still comes up as 9.1 release.

Any suggestions on the steps to fix my goof?

Re: Problem completing a 9.1 release to 9.2 release upgrade

2013-10-05 Thread Eric Feldhusen
Ah, yes, when this particular box was a 9.0-release, I had compiled a
custom kernel to enable ipsec.  When I check the strings, it's a 9.1
release kernel.

 I see my /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC is a 9.2 kernel, so I should just
be able to do a

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make installworld
reboot

and I'll be running up on the 9.2 kernel and then I'll be all set?

Thanks for the help.

Eric

 Did you replace the generic kernel from 9.1-RELEASE with something you
 compiled yourself?  If so, you may well have caused freebsd-update to
 ignore any modifications to the kernel.

 You can fix that by re-compiling a kernel using the 9.2-RELEASE sources
 and basically the same kernel configuration as for 9.1 (you will need to
 check for 9.2 related differences to the configuration, but these are
 likely to be pretty minor or not needed at all.)

 If you aren't using a customized kernel, then has the kernel in the
 standard location on your system actually been updated?  You can tell if
 it's a 9.2 kernel by running strings(1) against the kernel binary, like so:

# strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep RELEASE

 If that's clearly a 9.2 kernel, then are you actually booting up from a
 different kernel somewhere else on your system?   First of all, are
 there any other copies of FreeBSD kernels around anywhere -- on
 memsticks, or on split mirrors perhaps?  You may need to fiddle with the
 bios settings or interrupt the boot sequence and type things directly at
 the loader if so.

 Cheers,

 Matthew

Re: Problem completing a 9.1 release to 9.2 release upgrade

2013-10-05 Thread Eric Feldhusen
I figured I'd walk through those steps from start to finish and just
correct my main problem and any other little glitches I might have.

I'm on step 6 and when I run mergemaster -p, I get the following error.

*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
 *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use
 *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot

/usr/bin/install: Undefined symbol gid_from_group

  *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot copy files to the temproot environment

I found this thread on the Freebsd forums
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=41779 with the same error and if
I do the same diagnostic steps of

truss install -d -g wheel ~/testdirectory

I find an error of

lstat(/usr/local/etc/libmap.d,0x7fffb990) ERR#2 'No such file or
directory'

Any suggestions? Thank you for the help thus far.

 No. You should follow the procedure mentioned in the
 comment header of /usr/src/Makefile. From my (old)
 b-STABLE system:

 #  1.  `cd /usr/src'   (or to the directory containing your source
 tree).
 #  2.  `make buildworld'
 #  3.  `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is
 GENERIC).
 #  4.  `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is
 GENERIC).
 #   [steps 3.  4. can be combined by using the kernel target]
 #  5.  `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader
 prompt).
 #  6.  `mergemaster -p'
 #  7.  `make installworld'
 #  8.  `make delete-old'
 #  9.  `mergemaster'(you may wish to use -i, along with -U or
 -F).
 # 10.  `reboot'
 # 11.  `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them
 anymore)

 Pick what you need to do. When kernel and world sources are
 in sync, a new kernel can always be installed in multi-user
 mode. To install world, you should drop to single-user mode
 to avoid interferences with a full-featured system running
 in the background. This procedure (or parts of it) will
 also work when you have been using freebsd-update to modify
 your kernel, world, and sources.

Re: Login.conf Limits not Applying for Postfix

2013-05-09 Thread Eric S Pulley

 Hey list,

 I have a pretty low resource usage for users on my system, thus I have
 some low limits set in my /etc/login.conf. Particularly openfiles, which
 is set to 128 for the default class. However, I started getting errors
 from Postfix saying it has hit this limit:
 postfix/proxymap[97907]: warning: could allocate space for only 128 open
 files

 So I added a new class in my /etc/login.conf:

 postfix:\
 :openfiles=1024:\
 :tc=default:

 Yes, I did run `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf` (multiple times, in fact). I
 stopped and restarted the postfix daemon. I've even rebooted the system
 entirely since then, to no avail (It sends half the mail at a time - but
 the error appears again once mail starts building up). Am I missing
 something? Do I need to set the postfix user into the postfix login class
 somehow?

Yes see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/users-modifying.html

 My full /etc/login.conf is here: http://pastebin.ca/2376936

Just food for thought: You could also use a cheap netbook for about the
same money as a new Soekris box. Unless you have minimalistic power
requirements and really need the Seokris' 12-15W vs a netbooks 40-50W
draw.

Advantages, at least compared to my Soekris net4801, are integrated
screen,keyboard and UPS and much better network throughput via ural(4) or
similar versus the built in sis(4) of the net4801. If power is a major
concern you can shut down the LCD assuming you can get APCI working
correctly.

I am currently running FBSD 8.3-STABLE on a production server that

I am contemplating moving to the FBSD 9 family.  Is this branch ready
for production or should I wait a while yet?  I ordinarily avoid x.0
releases of anything and I know 9.1 is soon going to be with us.

In a related note, if I do move to 9.x is it sufficient to grab the
appropriate source tree and compile world and kernels, install and
reboot?  That is, it is reasonable to do an in-place upgrade.  This
is how I migrated 4-6, 6-7, and 7-8 and I am hoping this is till
the case since a complete reinstall is painful and slow.



I upgraded to 9 on a server that is basically doing what yours is. I used 
freebsd-update and it did all the right things no problems. Been running on 
9 without any issues pretty much since it came out. However, the only thing 
remotely fancy I'm doing is running root ZFS and link aggregation on my

If you're going to run advanced filesystems you really should try to 
understand how they work. There is no fsck tool and no need for one on zfs. 
If you have managed to loose data while running zfs you'd better have a 
backup.

 Hey Everyone,
 
 I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I
 would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an
 example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case
 build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail
 into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned
 here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff
 happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I
 would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer
 is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just
 the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume
 nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy
 so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can
 immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. 
 
 Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the
 aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a
 jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp,

rsync is dissimilar in that it is capable of preserving links.  It may
likely do the job?

 I am under the impression
 that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some
 light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

Actually this looks like fairly normal white noise you can expect on a

another box to own. If you're running PF put in something like the 
following.


block in quick log from {BADGUYS}

pass in log on $ext_if proto tcp to ($ext_if)  port { ssh } \
   flags S/SA modulate state \
   (max-src-conn-rate 3/60, overload BADGUYS flush global)

And remember that that you need to wait a minute if you (for some reason) 
make more than x (3 in this case) connections from the same source in a 
minutes time.  Tune as needed.


The disable root logins and only use keys if you can, strong PWs if you

 You can't prevent someone from doing manual configuration.

 If you were connecting via a smart switch, you can configure MAC address
 filtering on each of the switch ports and then use DHCPd to only assign
 each MAC to the right range or static IP, and then use an IP-based
 firewall to control traffic from there.  If a user tried to spoof some
 other MAC, the switch would block such traffic.

 However, with wireless, nothing prevents the users from spoofing other
 MACs.

If your purpose is to deny a person the ability to add themselves manually
to your local net and then get to other networks this is a perfect example
of the use for authpf. Combine authpf with port security on your local
switch (if you have that functionality).

But they can still spoof their MAC so it doesn't protect the local wifi
subnet much. Only thing I know works 100% is to set up a wifi net that is
unrouted with nothing in it but a VPN concentrator, once someone connects
to the wifi net then they establish an encrypted VPN connection that will
route the VPN traffic in/out of the wifi net.

Might be an interesting project for someone to add a PKI auth layer to the
DHCP protocol if someone hasn't already . I can think of several uses for
it.

Of course Cisco has something that might work for you:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t15/feature/guide/ftdsiaa.html.
I'd rather figure something else out than pay them for their crap though.

 I'm not sure what you mean by DO processing, but validation requires a
 little more than issuing queries w/ the DO bit set (that has been the
 default in BIND for a while).  You need to have the root (or some other)
 trust-anchor configured, and you need to enable DNSSEC validation in your
 named.conf.
 
 Only after that will you see the AD bit at the stub.
 
 Actually, typically with a correctly configured validating resolver, as
 an end user issuing queries from the system's stub resolver, you'll only
 see responses with data that is either:
 
 -- completely unsigned

And this will _not_ have the AD bit.

 
 -- signed, and that validates correctly

This will have the AD bit, but only if there is a verifiable chain of trust
leading from a configured trust-anchor.

 
 Data that doesn't validate correctly is discarded.  Better make sure
 your DNSSEC setup is correctly maintained and updated, or your domains
 may effectively disappear from the net.

This actually depends on exactly what you mean by doesn't validate, and
how the resolver is configured:  If the chain of trust does not lead to this
zone, then the resolver can be configured to return data without setting the
AD bit (this is the default for most early movers on DNSSEC).  If there IS a
valid chain of trust, and the crypto doesn't verify, then you are right,
data is not returned (unless the CD bit is set).

 
 validates correctly is a function of how your recursive resolver is
 configured: for instance, you will probably want to trust DLV secured
 data until authentication paths up to the root become more prevalent in
 all corners of the DNS.

I strongly disagree!  Now that the root, .com, .net, .edu, .gov, .org, etc.
are signed (over 65 TLDs), the few _debatable_ reasons to use DLV are really
gone.  Today, if there is no chain to a zone, then you (as the resolver
operator) can decide if you want to configure the TA manually, or wait until
the zone operator gets their DS in their parent zone.  In either case, the
typical DNSSEC validating resolver configuration will return data for these
zones, just not setting the AD bit.  Don't forget (also), that using DLV
exposes the privacy of exactly what zones you are querying to the external
party running the DLV.  You will essentially tell that party what zones your
are querying by asking for those zones' DLV records.

 right ?

That is correct, sorry.  If the stub doesn't request DNSSEC enabled (via the
DO bit), then the resolver will not return the validation bit. :(

I did a little bit of googling, and found these instructions but I have not
tried any of this myself:

 My understanding is that the stub resolver in the base system does not
 handle any DNSSEC functionality.  It's not clear (at least to me) that
 DO bit processing in stub resolvers is very useful -- without support in
 the recursive resolver you use upstream, it won't work, but if your

 resolv.conf configured DNS ?

I'm not sure what you mean by DO processing, but validation requires a
little more than issuing queries w/ the DO bit set (that has been the
default in BIND for a while).  You need to have the root (or some other)
trust-anchor configured, and you need to enable DNSSEC validation in your
named.conf.

Only after that will you see the AD bit at the stub.

gcc45 wrong debug info?

Wondering if anyone has encountered this problem where gdb/gcc doesn't

and then I go to debug.  I seem to stop in my function ok, locals and
such seem ok, gdb seems to handle OK, except the line number
information is wrong:

For #0, the correct line is 1108, not 296.  #1 is correct.  

This incorrect line number info is giving me grief while I'm trying to
step through my code.

 Eric;
 
 My advice to you is that you change the file system on drive that holds
 the VMs files from NTFS to EXT2.

Thanks for the suggestion, however,  I've already tried this (sorta).
From my original post...


 I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that
 out, but had same issue.


I suppose it may have been a little less than clear.  By non fuse
filesystem  I actually meant UFS.  The problem still persisted.

 
 NTFS file systems on FreeBSD or even Linux are OK only for doing small
 r/w stuff. I use the ntfs-3g which is really good but don't trust NTFS
 for heavy usage under those OSs. Sometimes it's not even trustable under
 windows itself.

I realize NTFS on fBSD has been shaky in the past, but had heard it had
come a long way these days.  It does seem to work well for all my
purposes, except these VMs.  Had hoped NTFS was not the issue.

 
 EXT on the other hand, is very stable in FreeBSD and has very good
 drivers for any version of 32/64 windows (Ext2IFS_1_11a) so you can
 access you vdi files.

I've not tried the EXT IFS for windows yet, nor had I heard much
regarding their success or failure.  If your willing to go out on a limb
and say very good drivers for any version of 32/64 windows...  I'll
give it a try, and post my results.  :)

Thanks.

 
 hope this helps.

 You can try recompiling virtualbox with debug options and see if it spits
 out any pertinent messages.  I have no problems with Windows guests on VDI,
 ZVOL, raw file, or raw partitions.  Vbox also logs data per VM, you can
 check that.

Logs might be nice.  Where would I find these.  Or are they only present
with debug builds (which I am building now)

 
 Another possibility is that you have mismatched versions of guest
 additions.  If that were the problem, it would show up in the Vbox logs.

I thought of that... even though vbox does not complain of a mismatch, I
went ahead and removed them from a machine and added them back in from
my FreeBSD host.  No improvement unfortunately.

8.2 prerelease, virtualbox, and windows guests that freeze...

2011-02-05 Thread Eric Schuele
All,

I have a laptop running 8.2-prerelease GENERIC.  I have virtualbox ose
3.2.12 from ports (and kmod as well).

I've only installed windows guests in vbox.  I've installed windows 2008
server 64, windows vista 64bit, and windows 7 32bit.  I have the vbox
hdd images on an NTFS filesystem mounted using fuse.

My box is a dual boot machine between FreeBSD and Windows.  My desire is
to be able to utilize the same virtual machine in vbox on both my
Windows and FreeBSD installations.

I can successfully utilize the virtuals in vbox (same version) in
Windows.  However when I utilize any of the virtual machines in FreeBSD,
they run for several minutes and eventually freeze.  Freeze may not
necessarily be the correct term.  All windows processes on the virtual
machine begin to die.  First one process, then another, then all.  Hard
to explain, which may not help my cause here.  But, most important
fact... in Windows they work fine... under FreeBSD they run for a while
and then cease to run.  When the VM is good and dead, it is always dead
with the little vbox virtual hard disk LED lit up (no idea if that is
important).

Previously, they would run for a *very* short time.  seconds? minutes?
and then die (sometimes I couldn't login).  I disabled sound support and
now they run for 10-15 minutes.  Had one run for an hour or two the
other day, but can't reproduce that.  Usually 10-15 minutes max.

Network works fine inside the virtual.

I'm new to VirtualBox on FreeBSD.  I've used it a bit on Windows with
good results.

I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that
out, but had same issue.

What else could I provide that might allow someone to point me in the
right direction here?

Thanks.

Custom rc script using /usr/sbin/daemon

2010-10-05 Thread Eric Masson
Hello,

I'm trying to create a script that would launch php-cgi in fastcgi mode.
So far, I've the following script :

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: phpfastcgi
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable phpfastcgi :
#
# phpfastcgi_enable (bool): Set it to YES to enable
phpfastcgi
#   Default is NO.
# phpfastcgi_flags (str):   Set the uwsgi command line
arguments
#   Default is -M -L.

. /etc/rc.subr

name=phpfastcgi
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

[ -z $phpfastcgi_enable ]   phpfastcgi_enable=NO
[ -z $phpfastcgi_flags ]   phpfastcgi_flags=

load_rc_config $name

sig_stop=TERM
pidfile=/var/run/${name}/${name}.pid
command=/usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} /usr/local/bin/php-cgi

run_rc_command $1

When invoked with start argument, it barfs at me but launches php-cgi as
expected :
e...@srvbsdfenssv:~ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi: WARNING: no shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon
[: /usr/sbin/daemon: unexpected operator
Starting phpfastcgi.

When invoked with stop argument, it errors and doesn't stop the process
as expected :
e...@srvbsdfenssv:~ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi: WARNING: no shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon
phpfastcgi not running? (check /var/run/phpfastcgi/phpfastcgi.pid).

From a quick peek at /etc/rc.subr, it seems that messages regarding
lack of shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon indicate something is wrong in
my script but atm, I can't figure it.

Any idea, anyone ?

Kind Regards

RW rwmailli...@googlemail.com writes:

Hello,

 I don't think you can do it like that. IIRC when you try to stop a
 daemon it doesn't just kill the process by pid, it also sanity checks
 the command in case the daemon has died and the pid was reused.
 Since daemon wont show-up in the ps output it can't be in the command
 variable.

Ok, makes sense.

 I think you need to write a start function, something like this:


 start_cmd=phpfastcgi_start
 command=/usr/local/bin/php-cgi

 phpfastcgi_start(){  
 echo starting phpfastcgi.
/usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}
 }

Fine, it works much better now.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

 The Equifax certificates authority seems not to be registered in

You can use the security/ca_root_nss port to retrieve the Mozilla
Project root CA list and then configure the apps that need/require it.

 I'm not sure if I do it correctly, but found nothing more relevant on
 google and in the freebsd's handbook.

This is a svn issue, not a FreeBSD one, check this section of the svn
book :

Hi es_MX internationalization needed.....

2010-06-02 Thread Eric De La Cruz Lugo
Hi to every one.

I  have been checking the mail lists and haven`t found information about es_MX 
localization, in Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and other Linux distributions this can be 
achieved by something like.


# locale-gen es_MX.UTF-8

# locale-gen es_MX
But on FreeBSD I can`t find any command or tool to perform this.

there is a es_ES locale on FreeBSD.

I thinked about generating the es_MX locale with a file like es_MX.UTF-8.src or 
something like that, without success this is beyond my expertise right now.

I need the es_MX because there is a postgreSQL database that MUST be encoded 
with the es_MX encoding, for a project am working on.
 
On KDE 4 on FreeBSD 8.0 I can changed the region to Mexico (es_MX), but I can't 
change my locale variables (LC_) on my command line terminal.

they look actually like this:


[cursos] ~ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
[cursos] ~

On other server i have OpenSUSE 11.2 and have this:  (the way a needed it).

edelac...@sgi:~ locale
LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_NAME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_MX.UTF-8

Re: Ping from jail not permitted error

 Any ideas would be helpful.

there is a reason people write man pages; honor their hard work by

From jail(8):

  security.jail.allow_raw_sockets
  This MIB entry determines whether or not prison root is allowed to
  create raw sockets.  Setting this MIB to 1 allows utilities like
  ping(8) and traceroute(8) to operate inside the prison.  If this MIB
  is set, the source IP addresses are enforced to comply with the IP
  address bound to the jail, regardless of whether or not the
  IP_HDRINCL flag has been set on the socket.  Since raw sockets can
  be used to configure and interact with various network subsystems,
  extra caution should be used where privileged access to jails is
  given out to untrusted parties.  As such, by default this option is
  disabled.

Re: Virtual RS232 port link on IP or on network card

Hello,

 Not sure if this is what you want to do or not, but if you want to
 connect a device to a serial port on FreeBSD and then access that serial
 device over the network from a remote machine, try
 /usr/ports/comms/ser2net

Nope, seems to be the opposite.

In OP's context, I'd try to check whether the application he wants to
use could be configured to access a remote device over ip (the manual
talks about connections to remote weather stations).

Generally, is there any way to create a virtual serial device that would
be backed by a userland daemon implementing rfc2217 for example ?

PASSWORD LOST!!

2010-02-08 Thread Eric Petersen

Hey guys,

I have a web/ftp server loaded with FreeBSD. This was done a couple  
of years back. Since then the person or persons that did the original  
install have gone out of business and cannot be found.


Currently I have an issue logging into the ftp. I hooked a monitor up  
to the server and I'm getting filesystem full errors and since I  
don't have a password to get in I cannot have it fixed by someone  
that knows UNIX. I have made numerous attempts to contact the person  
that installed on a personal level. But I'm getting the impression he  
has moved with no forwarding.


I you have need for more information I will supply it. I just don't  
know where to start. Our company's ftp is down and doesn't look like  
it will return anytime soon with out further assistance.


Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Can't get wifi working in 8.0, please help.

2010-01-04 Thread Eric Webster
Hello, I recently upgraded from bsd 6.4 to bsd 8.0 release ( new install ) and 
I am having issues getting my wifi to work. Before the upgrade it worked 
perfectly in 6.4. 
I am a bit confused as I have read different things about this. The handbook 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS-AP-BASIC
under basic settings says check to see if your device supports host based ap 
mode by doing 

ifconfig wlan0 list caps

# ifconfig wlan0 list caps
drivercaps=2985cd01STA,IBSS,HOSTAP,AHDEMO,SHSLOT,SHPREAMBLE,MONITOR,MBSS,WPA1,WPA2,WDS,BGSCAN

Then it says the wireless device can now be put into AP mode by doing:

ifconfig wlan0 ssid freebsdap mode 11g mediaopt hostap inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 
255.255.255.0

Which returns:
ifconfig: inet: bad value

I read some place that you need to put inet before ssid so I tried it with the 
following:

# ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.1/24 ssid gangsta wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 
apasswordhere mode 11g mediaopt hostap

Which returns:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

If I try to configure it like it was in 6.4 I get another error:

ifconfig wlan0 ssid gangsta channel 8 wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 
apasswordhere mode 11g mediaopt hostap 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Which returns:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

I know wep is not secure, I am just trying to get it working. 

At start of the guide it tells you to configure the following in 
/boot/loader.conf which I did.

/boot/loader.conf

if_ral_load=YES
wlan_load=YES
wlan_scan_ap_load=YES
wlan_scan_sta_load=YES
wlan_wep_load=YES
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
wlan_Tkip_load=YES

When I run kldstat I see the if_ral is loaded. I don't know if its supposed to 
show the other modules.

Re: How to enable network manager in KDE?

 Have a look at ports/net-mgmt/wifimgr

I had a look at ports/net-mgmt/wifimgr
I am quite new in FreeBsd but in my case it does not work , ie :

I start a xfce4 session for a (non-root) user
open the wifimgr from  the 'network' menu
provide root password as requested

but then it hangs forever on my laptop

Did anyone successfully used wifimgr ? If yes, what could I check to
make it work ?

8.0-RELEASE, puc, ppbus lpt

2009-12-18 Thread Eric Masson
Hello,

I'd like to know whether it is possible to force device numbering on a
box which has a built in parallel port and another on a serial/parallel
card ?

Parallel port managing code is loaded as modules :
131 0x80917000 8cc0 ppc.ko
143 0x8092 99c8 ppbus.ko
151 0x8092a000 4848 lpt.ko
161 0x8092f000 a418 puc.ko

Serial parallel/card port is probed before builtin port :
ppc1: Oxford Semiconductor OX16PCI954 Parallel port port 
0xd300-0xd307,0xd400-0xd407,0xd500-0xd51f mem 0xf6013000-0xf6013fff irq 18 at 
device 9.1 on pci0
ppc1: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc1: [ITHREAD]
ppbus0: Parallel port bus on ppc1
lpt0: Printer on ppbus0
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
...
ppc0: Parallel port port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77b irq 7 on acpi0
ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: [ITHREAD]
ppbus1: Parallel port bus on ppc0
lpt1: Printer on ppbus1
lpt1: [ITHREAD]
lpt1: Interrupt-driven port

I've tried to set device hints but couldn't achieve a consistant
numbering (ppc1-ppbus1-lpt1  ppc0-ppbus0-lpt0).

Any idea, anyone ?

TIA

Regards

Portupgrade not handling dependencies

2009-07-07 Thread Eric Sheesley
I've been running Freebsd for several years on one of my primary public
facing servers.  Currently the server is running Freebsd 7.2.  Up until
about 2 weeks ago portupgrade always seemed to upgrade ports in the
correct order so that any dependencies were built first, allowing all
ports to be upgraded properly in one run.

For the past 2 weeks though I have to run portupgrade 2-3 times every
time I have more than one update because at least 1 port fails due to a
dependency(which is seemingly upgraded after it tries to upgrade the
other port).  What the heck is going on and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Eric

Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies

2009-07-07 Thread Eric Sheesley
Well, it has been happening with just about every port(no specific ones)
that have a dependency which is also being built.  An example from today:

===   Registering installation for libtheora-1.0_1
===  Cleaning for libtheora-1.0_1
---  Cleaning out obsolete shared libraries
[Updating the pkgdb format:bdb_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 456 packages
found (-0 +1) . done]
---  Skipping 'multimedia/ffmpeg' (ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10) because a
requisite package 'libtheora-1.0' () failed (specify -k to force)
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
-  (bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04)
* multimedia/ffmpeg (ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10)
%portupgrade -a
---  Skipping 'bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04' because it is held by user
(specify -f to force)
---  Upgrading 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10' to 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_11'
(multimedia/ffmpeg)
---  Building '/usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg'



As seen above, libtheora built and installed just fine, but ffmpeg was
skipped for some reason.  I ran portupgrade -a again and all worked
fine.  This ways also occuring when I ran portupgrade -arR.

Ports tree is updated with cvsup each night.  I don't believe I've
overridden anything, most especially not in the past 2 weeks when this
all started happening.  The above is just one example of it happening.
It happens almost everyday there is more than one port to upgrade(and
different ports each time of course).

Thanks again,
Eric

 We obviously can't help you without more information.  What ports are
 failing?  What are the dependencies that are out of sequence?  What
 OPTIONS are you using with all of these?  Have you overidden anything
 via pkgtools.conf?  Is you ports tree up-to-date, and intact?

Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies

2009-07-07 Thread Eric Sheesley
Actually, the bsdpan package is not the issue here.  I was aware it
wouldn't update that(no port for this perl module yet anyway).

If you notice, it doesn't proceed to install ffmpeg, i force it
to(highlighted by ):

** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
 -  (bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04)
 * multimedia/ffmpeg (ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10)
** %portupgrade -a
 ---  Skipping 'bsdpan-Acme-Damn-0.04' because it is held by user
 (specify -f to force)
 ---  Upgrading 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_10' to 'ffmpeg-2008.07.27_11'
 (multimedia/ffmpeg)

It should upgrade ffmpeg automatically, but doesn't and that is the issue.

 (multimedia/ffmpeg)
 ---  Building '/usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg'

 
 I see.  In the default /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, there is a sample
 line (not commented out) that places any port that matches the glob
 bsdpan-* in HOLD_PKGS, meaning that portupgrade will refuse to handle
 it.  Presumably this is so users can manage their own local tree of
 Perl ports that aren't in the regular ports tree.  I don't do this, so
 I'm not familiar with how the two interact.  But portupgrade seems to
 have done the right thing here: in the snippet you gave us, it ignored
 bsdpan-Acme-Damn and proceeded to begin building ffmpeg after updating
 libtheora -- the only problem seems to be that in the intermediate
 summary it lists ffmpeg, erroneously, as having been skipped -- but
 that seems to just be a cosmetic problem, because it then proceeds to
 start updating it.  If later on it refuses to update it, then you've
 got a problem.  In that case, you should try running
 
 pkgdb -L
 pkgdb -F
 
 to make sure that your pkgdb is in good shape, and then try your
 updates again.  You might also try instead something like:
 
 portupgrade -ax bsdpan-*
 
 If that doesn't work, then you may either have to rip out your
 bsdpan-* ports, or just use a another tool for updating -- portmaster,
 for example.  Or you can roll your own.

it is about installing FreeBSD on USB stick

2009-06-05 Thread Eric Hsieh
hello, this is my first time to ask a help from FreeBSD.
I have a question about installing FreeBSD on USB stick.
There are so many informations about how to install FreeBSD on USB
stick from Internet, but I can not find out any information about
follow :
first, if i install FreeBSD on USB stick. Could I operate it on any computer.
if not, how to reach this issue ?
second, if i install FreesBIE on USB stick, i know i can operate it on
any computer.
but i don't know how to store my setting and installed software on USB
stick directly instead of copy my setting to another store device.
thanks, good luck for you.

gnat gpl 2009

2009-06-01 Thread Eric Le Goff
I noticed that AdaCore has delivered 2009 Edition
[http://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/gnat-gpl-edition/] of its GNAT
GPL toolset.

Will the port lang/gnat reflect this update ?

Should I stick to gnat gpl 2006 which is the latest I found in my ports tree ?
or go for any of the lang/gnat-gcc* ports ?

The x86-linux version is downloadable from :

[http://libre2.adacore.com/dynamic/view/gnat-gpl-2009-43-i686-gnu-linux-libc2.3-bin.tar.gz?version=2009config=x86-linuxfilename=gnat-gpl-2009-43-i686-gnu-linux-libc2.3-bin.tar.gz]

But I would need a step by step instruction from for how to set it up
in my FreeBSD 7.2 (i386) box

Thanks for your help

my guess is cvsup8.us.freebsd.org doesnt have the RELEASE code on it

 You should probably log your block rule so that you can see what's going on
 if things don't work as expected.

 So:

 block in log on $ext_if

 Note the lack of quick as well, as previously mentioned.

 With logging enabled, provided you have pflog running (which you should),
 you can use the following to see what's being blocked.

 tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0  (provided pflog0 is your pflog interface).

Issue with apcupsd and gd.h missing?

2009-03-15 Thread Eric Sheesley
When trying to do a portupgrade of apcupsd I received the following error:

checking for gd2/gd.h... no
configure: error: Found system GD library but no header file.
 Please find the file gd.h in your system
 include directories and report its location
 to apcupsd-users at lists.sourceforge.net

The system is Freebsd 7.1.  I checked and gd.h does exist so I'm a bit
confused as to what is going on.  The file is located in
/usr/local/include, a path that it appears the port checks.  Anyone else
experiencing this?

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Re: weird permissions on directories when installing ports through sudo

2009-02-25 Thread Eric Schuele
On 02/19/2009 15:56, Aleksandr Miroslav wrote:
 For the longest time, I have installed ports via the sudo make install or
 sudo portupgrade or sudo portinstall method and never had a problem.

This seems to have jumped up and bitten me on the arse as well.  I
believe the problem lies herein:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/sudo/distinfo?rev=1.61

It appears that sudo has been changed following a security issue.  I use
a more restrictive umask than the default.  I suspect you do as well.
The sudo change now implements a union of umasks, therefore never
lowering the umask of the person running sudo.

This had the effect of truly screwing up many installed ports for me (I
do the same as you `sudo portupgrade`).  I'm not blaming the fix... just
whining about it.

The fix for me was to deinstall and reinstall and problem ports using
root himself.

I suspect though you could fix it other ways by fiddling with your
usmask, and/or altering the sudo config files.

 
 
 Recently, as of a few weeks ago, I started noticing that ports that were
 installed or upgraded were getting the wrong permissions. Not only were
 directories getting permissions of 700 (whereas previously they had been
 755), but the directories /usr/local and entries in /var/db/pkg were getting
 permissions of 700.
 
 This is causing a lot of things to break, and I have to manually go in and
 make everything public for it to work again.
 
 This only happens when I build ports via sudo. If I am root and I run make
 install, everything works fine.

yeah.  Me too. :)

 
 I haven't changed anything recently either in sudo, or my umask.
 
 What can I do to fix this?

 Maybe try sudo -H -u root [command]   NetBSD Pkgsrc is nice in this
 respect because it has sudo(8) integration in the MKs. ~BAS

I didn't think this would do much, but gave it a try anyway
And it doesn't help.  :/

The following command prior to the change resulted in root's umask being
displayed:
  sudo -H -u root umask

Whereas after the change in sudo I mentioned, the union of mine and
root's is presented.

I looked at the security issue mentioned in the commit log, and I'm not
sure this change was required in order to fix it.

Anyone have thoughts on why this change was made?  I'd argue POLA was
broken here.  But I don't keep up with sudo developments (aside from
using it).

 If he can't what's your advice for some software to do that ? 
 
 No, it cannot.  There are a couple of utilities that come with FreeBSD
 but, at last check, they did not handle NTFS.
 
 I have successfully used Partition Magic version 7.0 (8.0 is crap) 
 as long as it is not on a USB drive.   It won't handle USB and 8.0
 will not either even though it claims it will.
 
 I have also successfully used 'gparted' which is downloadable.

I can second the gparted.  I've used it from time to time, and it has
worked well.  It comes on a downloadable live cd which is handy.

 It worked for NTFS and also worked fine with USB disk.   There is
 yet another one whose name I don't remember now.
 
 Download gparted and burn a CD to boot and do the work. Or, buy Partition
 Magic 7.0 and build the floppies.  Don't try using either on a running 
 system..

Hi,

 With all due respect, if sysinstall isn't able to write those labels,
 this is hardly the solution to the problem...  ;)

Sysinstall, even if it has proven to be useful, is outdated in many
respects, it doesn't cope really well with GEOM or ZFS for example.

Using GEOM labels ensure that fstab will always be consistent, so *this
is* a solution.

Now, you can try to patch the kernel to make it probe devices in a
predefined  sorted order, but I guess it will be much more difficult ;)

Kernel Panic help.

2008-08-22 Thread Eric Crist

Hey folks,

First, please 'reply-all' as I'm not on the list.

I've got a backup server that, every night, offloads things to a  
secondary, USB attached hard disk.  We've got two of these disks,  
which we rotate so as to have a fairly recent off-site version, in the  
event of a disaster.  One of the two drives has start to cause the  
backup server to core dump and reboot.  The other works fine.  I tried  
taking the problematic drive and repartitioning and reformatting it,  
but the problems persist.


Here is what I get from a kgdb:

Regular panics in RELENG_7....

2008-06-25 Thread Eric Schuele
Hello,

I seem to be suffering from some rather consistent panics.  I say
consistent not because I can actually reproduce it on demand, but that I
know it _will_ happen eventually.  These only happen while I am at the
office with my laptop.  The only difference between the office and home
is the wireless network.  I have an atheros based card in my laptop (and
using wpa_supplicant), and we have two wireless access points here at
the office.  I'm not sure why there would be some problem, but if I
disable card the panics stop.  I do notice that the two access points
have similar S/N ratios given my proximity to both.  And that my machine
frequently flip flops between the two.

What happens is, two maybe three times a week my machine will panic here
at the office.  Frequently when shutting down (when ath0 goes down),
sometimes when starting X, sometimes when killing X, sometimes while
sitting at console not even logged in, and sometimes after a reboot from
a panic while fsck'ing.  All seemingly go away if I disable the atheros
card in bios.

I have a dozen crashdumps.  I'm including dmesg, and a couple
backtraces.  I'm not particularly familiar with the kernel sources so
not sure what I'm looking for here.  Given the wide variation in bts, I
suspect folks are gonna say my memory is to blame.  Possible of
course  but odd it only happens at office.  And only in RELENG_7,
never before in any prior versions.  Ideas appreciated.

Thanks in advance.  (dumps below, dmesg is last)

Eric

LDAP Authentication questions...

2008-06-18 Thread Eric F Crist

Hello folks,

First, please reply-all to this message as I'm not on the list.

I'm trying to configure a bunch of FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x servers for  
authentication via LDAP.  I've got LDAP setup with user accounts, I've  
got replication configured on the LDAP servers, and I have pam_ldap  
and nss_ldap installed, configured, and working.


The last hurdle I'm trying to leap is server failover.  I have the  
following line in my /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf file:


uri ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap2.example.com

If I finger ldap_user with both servers running, I get a response  
with that user's information.  If I switch around the order of the two  
ldap servers, I get a response (for a different username to avoid the  
caching).  My problem lies with failing the first server in the list.   
In this case, I'm simply stopping the slapd process.  finger  
ldap_user hangs forever and authentications all timeout for ldap- 
configured services like ssh.  Now, shouldn't it eventually fail over  
to my secondary LDAP server?  I've even tried adding timelimit 10 to  
the ldap.conf file to set a timeout, to no avail.


Thanks!

[6.3] watch(8) tty capture

2008-06-13 Thread Eric Masson
Hello,

I'm trying to capture trafic beetween vgetty and an Olitec modem on a
FreeBSD 6.3 box.

I've loaded snp(4) via kldload and watch -co /dev/ttyd2 only captures
traffic sent from vgetty to the modem, not its responses.

Am I missing something trivial or is it a known behaviour ?

TIA.

Hi all, I've got an older Solaris system running Sendmail for my

However, it's been some time since I looked into options for mail
servers.  I'm interested in both suggestions for hardware and mail
servers that would make for the best FreeBSD based mail server.

I've only got about two dozen users, though they are all very heavy
users of email.  I'm using IMAP, and I'd like to continue to do so.

Finally, we have quite a few aliases I'd want to port over to a
new server.

I like postfix + dovecot.  Easy to set up and both have a ton of 
features. any relatively modern hardware will do with that kind of volume.


your aliases shouldnt be a problem either.
