Re: ipfw confusion
Are you sure that your DNS requests are over TCP? DNS primarily uses UDP to serve requests. TCP is used when the response data size exceeds 512 bytes (I think), or for tasks such as zone transfers. I know a few resolver implementations use TCP for all queries, but most I have used not. You might want to add rules to allow UDP as well.

You may want to look into running fsck(8) and its myriad of options to try to clean up the problem (assuming you're using a ufs filesystem also see fsck_ufs(8)). fsck normally runs during startup but perhaps a set of non-default options will do the trick. Also make sure you have soft updates enabled on your filesystem and preferably journaled soft updates, if for some odd reason you don't, as that is designed to avoid filesystem inconsistencies in the face of things like power failures.

If you mean instead of OS X, please provide some details about the computer hardware itself. Even When did you buy it? iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook? etc will help us answer your question.

Re: BSD sleep
Seriously, that explanation about different hours is not enough to prevent at least useful option. like sleep -f 1h (-f means force convert, without it you can see good explanation why sleep for 1 hour will be not sleep for 1 hour, and etc, and not get sleep at all.). Do one thing, and do it well. What you have proposed involves: * an additional force flag * interpolation of what follows the force flag (does m mean minutes, or months?) * expectations around time, time zones, and what an hours is. That fails the litmus test on complexity for me personally - it seems like a lot of complexity for not much gain. P.S. There is already non-portable feature in sleep - non-integer, and I'm sure that no one thought about some financists from various countries, who used to specify long numbers with separator, e.g. 3.600, and this means for them one hour and not 3 point 6 seconds. This isn't a good reason for adding another non-portable feature. ___ 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
memstick serial console install is completely illegible ... am I doing something wrong ?
I have the latest 9.1-RELEASE memstick image burned to a USB drive. I boot from that and connect to my device with a serial console. At some point, the installer asks me what terminal emulation I am using - I choose vt100. But then things go to hell ... I am not complaining that the screen draw is a bit weird, or that a lot of weird characters are used, etc. ... my problem is that I cannot even interact with it properly. The up and down arrows seem to be interpreted as enter, which makes choosing menu items impossible ... the partition editor is completely unusable since it is getting drawn all over the screen and I can't use the up and down arrow keys ...

Can I migrate from ataraid to graid ?
We created a few 8.3-RELEASE systems with boot mirrors using onboard Intel ICH10R. The system picks up the mirror with ataraid and I see it in dmesg like this: ar0: 114312MB DDF RAID1 status: READY But it seems that graid is a much better option, and ataraid has problems (I am seeing chatter on freebsd-fs and other places about problems). Is it possible for us to migrate this boot mirror to graid ? Can we just leave the mirror as-is (since it was bios formatted) and just start using graid ? Has anyone done this switch on a live system, or is it impossible (and we need to reformat and start over) ?

The reason why I ask is that when doing such things the master.passwd is compared to the default master.passwd which has no passowrd set.

Or, since that is all tcp/udp/icmp, it doesn't matter, and I am properly allowing in ipv6 traffic, but ONLY for the tcp/udp ports I specify, and then blocking the rest ? Basically: how is my ruleset treating ipv6 traffic (other than the fact that, at the end of the set, I deny all ipv6 that has gotten to that point) thank you. ___ 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

I suggest in working with the vendor to fix the repository, and it would be great if you can convince them to release a snapshot of the maven repository that the code was used to build from for distribution purposes.

What is the FreeBSD mdoc (man) to HTML toolchain?
Dear FreeBSD masters: I am looking to understand the toolchain that begins with an mdoc-based manual page and ends with a nice HTML file (as illustrated by http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=groff_mdocapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASEarch=defaultformat=html ). Hypothetically, were I personally attempting to convert the `groff_mdoc.7' manual page to HTML, from what I've researched the command should be: groff -mdoc -Thtml groff_mdoc.7 | tidy bsdgroff.html [1] Is the above command how the FreeBSD project produces its gorgeous HTML man pages? [2] How does one associate a link .../ CSS stylesheet with the resultant file? I cannot locate a `groff' command switch to stop it from inserting its own inline style information. == Research I've performed: I have read GROFF_MDOC(7) in its entirety. I have searched GROFF(1) and groff's [Tex]info document.

Parallel fscks on large filesystems ... wondering about maxdsiz setting...
Old 6.4-RELEASE system. Two filesystems exist, each of which is on its own raid controller. (Background fsck is not workable for various reasons that are tl;dr.) So, theoretically, doing both fscks at the same time is workable, since each of them are on their own controller, and no disk/controller resources are shared. HOWEVER, due to the large size and dense inode usage, we are forced to set: kern.maxdsiz=409600 And my question is: If I run two fscks at the same time, do I need to up this to 819200, or is this a per-process limit and I can run several processes that big, while leaving the value at 409600 ?

Re: How to allow Amanda to install as operator?
On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 07:20:32PM +, Morse, Richard E.MGH thus spake: Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Amanda installation from a v2.6 to v3.2 via ports. I had configured Amanda previously to be installed as the user `operator`. The upgraded version wants to install as the user `amanda`; however this presents all kinds of problems: - the `amanda` user has no home directory, one is needed to put the access file in - I already have all of the directories set up as owned by operator - I have a number of clients that are all set up to allow operator to access them, but not amanda. I have tried setting AMANDA_USER and AMANDA_GROUP to be `operator`, but this then complains that `operator` is not found in `/usr/ports/GIDs` and `/usr/ports/UIDs`. Since these are part of the base system, I don't want to mess with them, so I groveled through the .mk files, and determined that I should be able to provide my own user and group files by setting the GID_FILES and UID_FILES environment variable. I tried this. I created the necessary files (greping out the data from /etc/passwd and /etc/group), put them in the same directory as GIDs and UIDs, and ran the make command: GID_FILES=/usr/ports/OP_GROUP UID_FILES=/usr/ports/OP_USER AMANDA_USER=operator AMANDA_GROUP=operator make install This runs along for a while, then dies with the note: ** /usr/ports/OP_GROUP doesn't exist. Exiting. *** Error code 1 If I do a `less /usr/ports/OP_GROUP` (copying exactly from the error message), I can see the file I created just fine. Is there something that I'm missing? How am I supposed to install a port as a user that already exists? Why doesn't make see that the file exists? Thanks, Ricky If you update your portstree, this should be fixed now. I notificed crees@ and he committed to UIDs/GIDs the operator user and group, so they may be used for installing. -jgh -- Jason Helfman System Administrator experts-exchange.com http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_4830110.html E4AD 7CF1 1396 27F6 79DD 4342 5E92 AD66 8C8C FBA5 ___ 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: Using /etc/rc.d/netif start
On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 10:40:19AM -0700, Nerius Landys thus spake: First off, I'm on 9.0-CURRENT-i386, but I don't think that will make a difference for purposes of my question. I think the freebsd-current folks are expecting questions that are much harder than this one. I'm trying to use /etc/rc.d/netif to bring down and bring back up all network interfaces, because I'm trying to get the correct entries in /etc/rc.conf for testing some extra network cards. So right now, my /etc/rc.conf looks like this: defaultrouter=192.168.0.254 hostname=elmer.i ifconfig_em0=inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 /etc/resolv.conf looks like this: domain i nameserver 192.168.0.254 I'm basically in a LAN. When I boot up this elmer.i machine, everything works well. Then, I do the following two commands: /etc/rc.d/netif stop /etc/rc.d/netif start After these, I'm still able to ping a raw IP LAN address such as 192.168.0.254. However, two problems start occurring: 1. I cannot ping an IP address that is outside of my LAN, e.g. ping 64.156.192.169 PING 64.156.192.169 (64.156.192.169): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: No route to host 2. DNS (via 192.168.0.254 nameserver) won't work at first, but starts to magically work when I for example enable sshd and log in to elmer from another host on the LAN So the nut of my question is, I think /etc/rc.d/netif stop stops some additional things such as packet routing that the corresponding /etc/rc.d/netif start command won't start back up. So what is the best way to bring down the network and bring it back up again for purposes of testing /etc/rc.conf syntax?

Easiest desktop BSD distro
I want to learn BSD. I find that the best way to familiarize myself with a distro is to adopt it as my main distro (for web browsing, email, word processing, etc.). But the challenge of BSD have so far proven too much for me. It would take too long to configure FreeBSD to my liking. I couldn't figure out what to enter in GRUB to multi-boot Linux and BSD. I tried PC-BSD, GhostBSD, and DragonflyBSD in VirtualBox. I've found PC-BSD agonizingly slow to install and operate, and KDE didn't even boot up when I logged in. GhostBSD has too many things that don't work, such as the keyboard on my laptop and my Internet connection on my desktop. DragonflyBSD didn't boot up in Virtualbox. I recommend Linux Mint as a first Linux distro. It's user-friendly, well-established, widely used, includes codecs/drivers that Ubuntu doesn't, and has a Windows-like user interface. For those with older computers, I recommend Puppy Linux or antiX Linux as a first distro. I'm looking for the analogous choice in the BSD world. So what do you recommend as my first desktop BSD distro? What desktop BSD distro is so easy to use that even Paris Hilton or Jessica Chicken of the Sea Simpson can handle it? Please keep in mind that I have a slow Internet connection, and these BSD distros are ENORMOUS. It took some 12-14 hours to download PC-BSD. -- Jason Hsu jhsu802...@jasonhsu.com ___ 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
Can't Boot 8.2 with Gmirror

Having read a few messages it sounds like there are some steps I need to take to fix up my partitioning scheme to make things work right in 8.2-RELEASE. But since gotchas got me once, what are the gotchas? Should I partition before adding a disk to a mirror?

No. The hash index file is pulled from the update server for the installed release, and your system is compared with that. the installed release being what exactly? What the system is running. and how does freebsd-update determine what it is? From the code, it appears to use `uname -r` and `uname -m`, for release and architecture, respectively. -jgh ___ 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

Nullfs Allows Jailbreaking
Here is my file system scheme for a newly created jail as viewed from the host: /usr/jail/template on /usr/jail/f1 (nullfs, local, read-only) /usr/jail/f1-fs/etc on /usr/jail/f1/etc (nullfs, local) /usr/jail/f1-fs/tmp on /usr/jail/f1/tmp (nullfs, local) /usr/jail/f1-fs/var on /usr/jail/f1/var (nullfs, local) /usr/jail/f1-fs/usr-local on /usr/jail/f1/usr/local (nullfs, local) As viewed from the jail: /usr/jail/template on / (nullfs, local, read-only) I like the idea of using a template for multiple jails that I plan to use later. I like the ide of mounting the template read only. I had to splice in the other nullfs filesystems so that things that need to be read-write can be. But it seems kinda funky. Inside the jail it looks like EVERYTHING is read-only and you have no way of knowing that /tmp is actually read-write. There seems to be a violation of the segregation going on here. What pitfalls can you see in a file system scheme like this for my jails? Is the above behavior by design or did I find a flaw?

Samba Access Like Windows Explorer
Is it possible to access samba shares much like windows explorer does? The ultimate solution would be UNC names with browsing. I would very much like to have my freebsd client see the network namespace in as similar fashion to windows as possible. I also would like to avoid having to duplicate the hierarchy of mount points (for mount_smbfs) on every freebsd client in order to achieve this. Nautilus access the samba shares this way, but I want this work on the command line. Plus I prefer Thunar, which doesn't do samba access at all. As it stands, I think I will have to mount all samba shares on a freebsd client into a top level directory named for the server name, with mount points sprinkled about. Thanks, Jason C.
