Installing VMware Tools on FreeBSD 9, amd64
I've installed the compat6x libraries and made a symlink to /lib for libc.so.6 as per some docs I found; however, the vmware tools installation is still failing with: Unable to copy the source file /usr/local/lib/vmware-tools/modules/binary/FreeBSD8.0-amd64/vmxnet.ko to the destination file /boot/modules/vmxnet.ko. The reason being is that /usr/local/lib/vmware-tools/modules/binary/ only contains: FreeBSD6.0-amd64FreeBSD6.0-i386FreeBSD7.0-amd64 FreeBSD7.0-i386 Is this a bug in the vmware install script or have I missed something--or can I use a different option? Thing is, I'm on 9.0 RELEASE.

7.2 system stuck trying at boot, trying to mount root device
I'm running a modest PC that has FreeBSD-7.2 installed (fairly current build from CVS). Today, I did a shutdown -r to reboot the system. When it returned, the console is reporting: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a I've gone through and restored the boot loader, this works fine (it's back to F1 or F2) -- it continues to do this. I also did a proper mount, fsck, and umount under the LiveFS shell, which made no difference. Then I tried a modest binary upgrade just in case. No luck. After Googling around, and not finding much more info than what I did, I figured I would ask here. If I have to, I can ship off the data to another system (after I rebuild) and try to bring all it's functions back (but it's a lot, cyrus, etc). The other messages I see on the console include GEOM output: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s1a is ufsid/blahblah then GEOM_LABEL: Label for ufsid/blahblah removed. Anyone know how I can rescue this?

SSH timeouts from remote connections on 7.1beta
This is a recent phenomenon. I use a Mac client (iTerm) to connect to all my hosts internally. Same network. My connections to the FreeBSD-7.1.x system continually timeout when idle, and I have to re-connect (thankfully, I use screen). It's becoming annoying, and though I've set TcpKeepAlive, it still happens. I'm trying to track this down and understand where the problem is. The connections to my other hosts (Linux and Solaris) are fine - my FreeBSD connections have been fine until recently. Anyone see this happening or have more info.

Bellcore MGR lightweight window manager on FreeBSD?
Does anyone remember the lightweight window manager called MGR, from Bellcore? ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/MGR/!INDEX.html I'm curious if anyone out there has gotten this to run on FreeBSD. I used it on an older system, years ago, and it was pretty effective - and would be useful for low-res environments, etc. Thx... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ZFS mount points
What precautions could I take to prevent users from writing to a portion of a ZFS mount point that might fill up the underlying filesystem that wouldn't impede writes to that ZFS mount point. For example: /foo/bar/volume If some program accidentally started writing to /foo/bar, as far as I understand, it would end up filling / and not the zpool. I could re-do this so that /zpool1 was /foo to mitigate this - though I've already established production mounts pointing to /foo/bar/volume (which is actually zpool1/volume). Would changing zpool1 to /dce create havoc, since I'm NFS exporting /foo/bar/volume.

Problem with gio-fam-backend, portupgrade failing...
I'm having the same type of problems when compiling scanlogd (just posted a separate message about it). I installed the binary *.tbz package from freebsd.org, and that didn't quite work, there are other dependencies it needs.

Signed binary support in the kernel
Does FreeBSD support signed binaries - similar to what other (Linux, that I've seen) systems can do where the kernel will refuse to run the binary unless it's passes a digital signature test.

Apache-2.0+PHP5 does not like MySQL-5.x ...
After a long process of figuring out what went wrong, httpd was using a ton of resources when it received a HUP signal (log rotation at midnight). Subsequently, php -v was dumping core things pointed to mysqli.so. Long story short, I downgraded to mysql-4.10, recompiled php5 and dependencies and walla, no more problems. Though I didn't specifically figure out the problem, I'm pretty sure it's MySQL related as that was the only thing that was changed on this system (apart from recompiling dependencies to support the new API). I wonder if someone has run across this and if so, have you found a bug or a solution.

Sorry, the internet is global and my pumpkin time was up.
Suhosin isn't the problem.
What the above did is make sure you have no non-existing modules loading and
no modules twice. But the sort order was alphabetic and that's why it still
dumps core.
Some modules depend on eachother and one needs to be loaded before the other
or it goes to hell. Nothing else you can do then figure out the correct
order. Experience teaches spl, session and mysqli are common culprits.
spl before sqlite before pdo_sqlite before session before mysqli before
xmlreader
*usually* works.
I tried this and still having core dumps.
This seems like an odd problem that the PHP folk might need to solve
somehow.
There must be a way to use the php.core file to determine what's causing
it to crash... not something I've had much experience with. If I can
determine where it's crashing, then I can have a better sense of what
needs to be re-ordered.
I noticed over time as I upgraded php modules that it did put in
duplicate entries... seems like a bug.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it ;-)

6.3-STABLE Apache 2.0 uses high CPU when restarted....
I recently recomplied the apache20 port (updated) with no compile-time changes. Since that time, I noticed it was hogging 98% of the CPU and hanging.

Re: Extremely slow authentication via SSH on FreeBSD 6.0
First, thank you to others who posted about this issue. I altered /etc/ssh/sshd_config for UseDNS no, and noticed I get the prompt right away, however it still takes about 15 seconds after authentication to get a shell prompt. This is FreeBSD version: FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #7: Sat Dec 22 11:12:15 EST 2007 I noticed this behavior after the last system build and install. Prior to that, I didn't see problems like this. I don't see this problem with httpd (apache) etc. The DNS servers my ISP provides are quickly reachable and appear to be caching very well, so I doubt that's the issue. Conversely, and perhaps this is a hint, the GW I log in to has this problem, but if I log in from there to an internal system using the same exact version of FreeBSD, I don't have any problems like this at all. The difference being I also use internal DNS as well as /etc/hosts entries.

Re: sysctl or system tweak for symbolic links?
The problem was fairly hidden. It turns out that one of the directories in the PATH of the symbolic link did not have the search bits enabled (permissions). Once that was adjusted, it worked fine. This turns out to be a problem with Apache-2, since it should report a better (unambiguous) error - there is a bug report filed about it. Thanks.

dhclient on FreeBSD-4.10
I'm having a problem with dhclient on FreeBSD-4.10, where I can't seem
to get it to work properly.
My ISP uses DHCP (Comcast), and I want to use my own named instance,
opting to forward to theirs. According to the dhclient.conf manpage, I
should be able to do either of these:
interface fxp0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
}
# supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
# supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
And I've tried both, they do not work.
So, either I'm doing something wrong (very likely) or I've run across a bug.
Thanks.

/etc/resolv.conf and your ISP
I can think of a few ways to resolve this, but I thought to ask here. I have Comcast for my ISP, and of course DHCP changes /etc/resolv.conf during each update -- lately, they've been screwing things up bigtime, such that I simply use my own named instance. My question is: how to reliably keep your own nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, and get around the frequent protocol updates that change/nullify your mods to /etc/resolv.conf. Perhaps just a regular script that does a diff and patch of it, or simply copies over the file you want regularly. Not elegant but it would work. I also wonder about creating a dhclient-exit script that would update certain services automatically when your IP changes.

Using USB2.0 hard drives (performance) on FreeBSD 5.3
I need extra disk space on one of my machines (in short order). So I decided to experiment with attaching a USB2.0 hard drive (Maxtor OneTouch) to the system (SIIG PCI controller). I use a OneTouch on my Windows/XP sytem and it works really well. I wanted to explore placing my mailstore on an external USB2.0 drive - would be easy to port the data to another system if I needed. However, in experimenting with replicating some data (via rsync), I'm wondering if this is a bad idea. While rsyncing data over the wire to the USB2.0 drive (mirroring some data, basically), the shell response to something like ls would hang (eventually completed, but much later). I wonder if someone can advise about the use of this drive for that purpose (mailstore) and if there may be some tunables I would need to tweak to get better performance.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] I was hoping this was a thing of the past. I've seen this a lot with 5.2.1, but I usually ended up with a siezed system. I don't see how the fact that you had XP on the system could affect FreeBSD. Exactly what ATA controller do you have? I've run into trouble with the Intel ICH5 SATA controller in a new Dell Dimension 8300. I received *lots* of suggestions that the drive was bad (as per the little sniglet at the bottom), but that isn't the problem - it passed every utility I was able to put it through. BTW, my drive is a brand new WD 160 Gig. After days of googling, I found only a few suggestions that the problem was the scheduler and/or the HT processor. I turned HT off in the bios, and it still locks up - especially when shutting down. I've put the hardware through dozens of checks and tests, and there are absolutely no problems except when running FreeBSD with the disk under load. Even XP didn't lock up like this. I've been holding this new Dell in limbo for nearly 4 months waiting for this exact problem to get fixed.

XFS for FreeBSD
I've been able to locate some postings that suggested there was an effort to get SGI's XFS ported to FreeBSD -- along with some concerns about licensing (GPL) issues.

When your dynamic IP changes...
For the most part, my cable system stays on 24x7, thus my IP address remains the same (often for the duration of a year). However there are times when unpredictable things happen, such as outages, that will cause your IP to change. I have a number of internal and external dependencies that rely upon this IP address. For the most part, I've not had to change these much - however, when it happens, it's a PITA. - ipfw rules - mysql tables - apache configuration - /etc/hosts - named.conf (possibly) and more. Including needing to update external DNS, which could be addressed by using a dyndns.org name, and set your DNS to that hostname. I could whip up a script using M4 to dynamically change the ipfw rules and point /etc/rc.conf to a different script. I'm curious if anyone else has come up with a nifty scheme to make this less painful when it happens -- other than the obvious idea of getting a provider that supports fixed IP addresses ;-) Someone suggested to me the GNU CFEngine, too -- seems a bit complex for this task, though.

Automating FreeBSD Installation(s)...
I've read several articles out there that address different means to automate (or standardize, for internal purposes) FreeBSD installations. One article (which was older) spoke of scripting sysinstall via an install.cfg with some custom pkg modules to do edits. The other, exploiting the PXE capability of the newer (Intel) NICs. I'm interested in what people are doing now - what has had the better success rate, etc.I realize this is all dependent upon one's environment - mine will be more ISP-related, but will require some flexibility for different servers. I've also heard of people utilizing GNU CFEngine for this type of procedure, which I find interesting - it's a complex package, but seems to be very functional if you have time/patience to apply it.

There are probably dangerous consequences to doing something like this improperly; however, there is a project out there called PacketBL: http://wiki.duskglow.com/index.php/Packetbl It's for Linux only, unfortunately -- however I like the idea.

Trouble with FreeBSD 5.2.1 and SATA
I posted a message recently about troubles encountered with FreeBSD-5.x and my SATA drives, controlled by an on-board Silicon Image chip. I understand there were some code glitches in between and thus my update via CVS and subsequent rebuild of the system created a problem. However, just to be sure, I brought my machine in to the shop to be tested. Windows/XP has no problem booting up and it recognizes the drives. So I returned the machine here and have tried to reinstall FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE and am now encountering more problems. When I partition the drives, I make sure that all 4 (SATA) drives are consumed by FreeBSD and that newfs (added -b 16384 -f 2048 options to some partitions) is performed. The listing of drives is in reverse order: ad10 ad4 ad6 ad8 (I think that was the correct prefix) I first selected 4 as the root drive, and selected the standard MBR. When the installation was complete, I rebooted and the boot process couldn't find a valid partition and I was left at the boot prompt. I reinstalled, using 10 as the root drive, again selecting standard MBR for each drive (just to be sure) and the same thing happened: invalid partition, etc. Clearly the boot record is being read, as I'm at the boot prompt. I did run into an error I've reported before, where FreeBSD complains about the disk's geometry, and says it is using something more likely -- as I recall, that was the right route to go - as I entered in what I see in the SOYO BIOS and it still complains. I'm stumped as to what the problem could be at this point; any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated. I know I should have gone with SCSI and I probably wouldn't be having these problems now ;-) But this is what I have.The SATA drives are 80gb's (less prone to problems).

Geometry Incorrect on FreeBSD-5.2.1 installation
I've a SOYO Dragon Platinum Edition motherboard, with SATA drives. According to FreeBSD's installation process, my geometry is incorrectly set. So, I did as it asked, rebooted into the BIOS and retrieved the figures: Cylinders: 38309 Head: 16 Pre: 0 LandZone: 38308 Sectors:255 I selected the G command from sysinstall's menu to set the geometry manually: 38309/16/255 (cyl/hd/sector) and it still insists the figures are wrong. It's defaulting back to what it believes is correct: 9729 cylinders 255 heads 63 sectors These are 80gb SATA drives. The BIOS is set to run in IDE Enhanced mode (I believe). I did a test installation and it worked, except the dreaded GRUB loader (from a linux test install) keeps coming up (fdisk /mbr does NOT get rid of it)... I don't know if that's the cause of this problem (doubtful). Any clues as to what might be wrong? The BIOS is AMI/Phoenix, and is up-to-date.

Mysterious manpage *roff problems solved (SOLUTION)
I had posted recently regarding a mysterious problem I had with my manpage subsystem not working properly. This has been a problem for quite some time. After analyzing ktrace/kdump outputs, removing any conflicting *roff files in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share, we still couldn't get it working. Interestingly, there are no indications of *roff in /var/db/pkg, so I have no idea how it ended up under /usr/local to begin with. The solution, thanks to Larry Rosenman [EMAIL PROTECTED], was to backup my /usr/src/sys/i386/conf file and rm -rf the entire /usr/src and /usr/obj trees, then re-CVSup (putting back my kernel config) and rebuild/reinstall the system. It was a pickle - as the problem just didn't seem obvious. So, somewhere along the line something got munged up in the /usr/src directory. I hope this solution helps someone out there that may get bitten by this. And again thanks to Larry.

I note that /usr/local/share/groff contains:

devps

whereas under /usr/share/groff_font, we have also:
# ls /usr/share/groff_font

devX100-12 devasciidevhtml devlbp devutf8

moving /usr/local/share/groff has the result of this error:

So, it seems clearly that something is wrong with the installation. I've
tried recompiling from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff and installing, as well
as multiple CVSup updates, to no avail.
What is wrong?

Re: Groff issues with latest FreeBSD-4.x build
Hi there, When I do that, the same exact thing happens... and it's not making any sense to me. What database(s) are dependent upon by man? # zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz |nroff -man troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Forrest At 11:21 PM 8/1/2003, you wrote: Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just rebuilt the entire system from CVS, and still get this problem: # man man Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Done. This can't be that complex of an issue, which is probably why I'm still figuring it out. Doesn't the 'man' command need to find its tmac files in /usr/share/tmac? If so, then there's something wrong with the man configuration somewhere (something I'm not familiar with). Any pointers would really be appreciated, nobody else responded. Hmm. Not exactly my thing, but what happens if you try the formatting directly? zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz |nroff -man ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Groff issues with latest FreeBSD-4.x build
Hi there, Thanks for responding (sorry for the late reply, have been busy this weekend). I've not really changed anything with the system, which is what is perplexing. I've done a full cvsup and makeworld/installworld at least 3 times since this problem began, and it still happens. I have no idea why, and I presumed that there must be a bug in CVS. What else can I look at Thanks, Forrest At 12:26 PM 7/20/2003, Lowell Gilbert wrote: Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The errors continue with port builds: nroff -man nasm.1 nasm.man troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char *** Error code 1 But I see in /usr/share/tmac: tmac.tty-char Has anyone else run across this bug.

Recent build of FreeBSD with groff problems.... (manpages)
Since about 2 days ago, successive rebuilds of FreeBSD-4.8 (current CVS) have resulted in a faulty manpage system, with errors like: Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char Done.

Bellcore MGR Windows Manager to FreeBSD?
Curious if anyone knows of a port of the free (and compact) Bellcore MGR window manager to FreeBSD. I seem to recall hearing it was ported to FreeBSD-2.x, but that was quite some time ago. It was originally a free replacement for the old UNIX-PC wmgr system.

Someone had asked me to post the output of usbdevs: addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel addr 2: USB-ATAPI4 Bridge Controller, BUSlink Inc. So the system sees the USB hard drive.

mfs/ramdisk performance issues
I did some reading through other posts, and wanted to get some more input about this. In a mail gateway configuration, several people have suggested that using a tmpfs (or mfs, depending upon your flavor of Unix) would provide a performance increase (i/o). Though someone argued (on a list posting) that the buffering on normal disk operation would probably be better. Can someone shed some light on this.

GECOS field question (names)
I've a user that has a funny last name, which is separated by a real (space). Because of this, most programs will parse it as having a first, middle, last. Is there some fancy way I can get this joined without cosmetically altering it to have another character to join it (like a hard space, etc)?

FS options for FreeBSD
I'm looking for different filesystem options for FreeBSD. I'm ripping apart a Linux machine that's running a mail service which utilizes the reiserfs for performance gain.
