RE: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 174, Issue 4
I tried to access the login prompt through SSH, and Telnet. Neither worked. The only way I know of to get to a login prompt is through HTTP. I am not a programmer and my scripting skills are non existent. If anyone knows of some script out there on the net that can access a webpage and run through a sequence of passwords. Then that would be absolutely wonderful. Mental note. It sucks to not have a phone. Don't work on phone system while drinking.

I have two drives connected to a PCI ATA100 card. When I went to install FreeBSD I see three drives. ad10, ad8 and ar0. I am guessing this is some kind of Raid so used FreeBSD's auto config option for that drive and installed it on that one drive. Did I just install a Raid 1 config?

That is what I have. I got it out of the handbook. however I may have forgotten the quotes. I will try it tonight. Now there are several duplicates of that section.

Look at them both and make a choice if you like either. I tried both in the past, but found they were not for me for various reasons, so I went looking, also tried Xfce as has been mentioned, but I decided I wanted to try something really different from things that seemed Windows like. Tried WindowMaker and have been using it now for a long time. Here is the url www.windowmaker.info if you are interested. As you requested lean and fast, little slow getting started, only because it is very different in the approach of say Gnome, KDE, or Xfce, but once you get used to it, works great. I also like dock apps, which you can get more info at http://dockapps.org/ Gee, I just use AfterStep. Of course, that isn't really an MS-Win environment replacement. It doesn't even attempt to be. But then I really do not want to have the look and feel of MS-Win.I want something more straight-forward and less icky. jerry Good Luck, Sean This is a good point here. Whereas it's good to have something familiar for immediate productivity, it's also good to explore different options to experience benefits/drawbacks that you hadn't considered before. In *nix (includind BSD's and Linux), you're not limited to one window manager. You can install several and use whichever matches your mood at the time. I used to use KDE and Gnome simply because the menus contained so many applications that were new to me. Once I knew which applications I wanted to use, I switched to XFCE because it's faster. I still use XFCE for my office productivity; but I'm still experimenting with icewm and windowmaker on an older computer because they feel so much faster. Definitely choose a window manager that will give you a positive experience now; but take time to browse *nix's other offerings. If you don't try new things, how can you make an informed decision?

I am setting up a new system and ran a portupgrade -a. Unfortunately I also in my arrogance tried to run XDM while the portupgrade was running.

Is there a way to rebuild that DB or do I have to reinstall the whole OS? I don't know how that pkgdb gets created so I don't know if it is created during the install or when I installed portupgrade.

Replacing windows XP at home.
I have a hard question to ask and I realize that there are a thousand answers to this question. I am replacing my XP system with a FreeBSD 6.1 system. I finished installing it last night and cvsuped. Now I need to choose a window manager. There are what seems like hundreds of different WM in the ports collection and there is no way I will be able to find the time to read them all and get any kind of good idea on what each one does. I am hoping a few people form the list could e-mail me what they like and for what reason. I want something lean and fast but I want to have my cake and eat it to because I do want something that is not strait up ugly and is functional. KDE seems like it is bloated so I was considering Gnome. I have also been reading about enlightenment and it sounds interesting. I have looked into Fluxbox and it also seems like it would do the trick. Would I be better off just going with Gnome or KDE?

Re: Searching a drive and copying files
Many of the images will have the same name. I somehow managed to copy the same files several times when trying to do backup and restores. At this point in time they are going from my Apple laptop to my FreeBSD server. I am going to start looking for a inexpensive Tape drive to back up my data. I have been using iPhoto to manage my images.

Do you have plans on how you will be storing the images after you get rid of the dups? Have the images be edited and if they have, did you edit them with a EXIF aware program? I use a program called epinfo to rename my images, it is part of the photopc utility. I have just a little over 10,000 digital images and store them by year, month, day and time. epinfo uses the EXIF data to rename the files and set the time stamps for the files. I have written some php programs to allow me to display the images thru a web browser. It uses a MySQL database to manage the images into categories.

Mount an unknown drive
I have a server that has been inoperative for the last few months (FreeBSD 6.0). I decided to turn on the system and it goes right to a boot prompt. So I downloaded FreeSBIE and am trying to mount the old drive to see if there is any data on the drive worth saving. When I try to mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt I get a device busy message. Am I even trying to mount the correct slice. I have tried s1a - s1f. Is it possible it was already mounted and that is why it says it is busy. There is nothing in dmesg that shows asd0*.

Startup scripts question
How do startup scripts work? I added: mysql_enable=²YES² But I don¹t think it is working. I had rebooted my system the other day and my mail server stopped working (postfix reading from mysql tables) and I tried looking at my running processes: ps ax |grep sql and nothing was returned. So I guessed mysql was not running. I tried: mysql start and I got a socket error. I usually get this error when SQL was not started properly. So I ran /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start And low and behold it was all working. So how do startup scripts work. Did I add the wrong value to my /etc/rc.conf file? Or did I miss something somewhere? Does the entry in /etc/rc.conf correlate to the startup script. Should I change my rc.conf file to read mysql-server_enable=²YES² Any advice would be welcome.

MONO (.NET) on FreeBSD and Apache2

But /var/log/http-error shows errors about misconfiguration. Does anyone have a working example of to configure mod_mono in Apache? I also read about some XSP or some other type of web server. I think it was written entirely in C# and was wondering if that is a better way to go rather then Apache. I prefer Apache and would rather get it working rather then switch to a whole new web server.

Which mail server is the best for me?
Gosh could you have picked a harder question? That is like saying Blondes, Brunets or Red Heads? You will have to read up about several MTA¹s and figure out what suites your needs. It will take a good few hours of reading and if you are anything like me with a wife job and three kids then time is precious. So to try and help you get on your way don¹t use sendmail. I am partial to Postfix although with that said I have never used anything else. I did several days worth of reading and Postfix was my choice due to it¹s ease of use, flexibility and security. Ease of Use: If you are only receiving e-mail for FQDN of your box (/etc/rc.conf) then right after you have finished installing Postfix you are ready to go. It uses sensible defaults and is a breeze to work with. At that point you will be using local system accounts and MBOX format. You ought to read about the benefits and drawbacks or both to decide if that is really what you want. MBOX is easy enough to change however changing your logins to use something other then the local /etc/masster.passwd database takes some extra finagling. Again the how toos are a great help. Flexibility Now with that said I am hosting e-mail for several of my web customers. So I wanted to set up a MySQL back end to manage the domains instead of using text files. Security I also wanted to add additional security and installed TLS and SASL. As well as quota¹s so my users don¹t suck up all my disk space. So I took it to the next level and it took quite a bit more time to setup. So if you want a MTA that will be a breeze to setup but can have the flexibility to use more features you can shake a stick at while maintaining the KISS process (Keep it simple stupid). Then Postfix is a good choice. There are A LOT of how too¹s on postfix out on the net. Take a look at the documentation on the postfix website postfix.org. The how too¹s and the postfix documentation are separate pages on their site. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FTP server on 5.3
I was trying to setup an FTP server last night on my 5.3 box. I was using the handbook and was instructed to make a new user ftp. So that worked fine and I was able to upload to ftp's home dirrectory but wanted to know if I can safley delete the .* files in his home dirrectory. I was also curious, if I change the permissions on /home/ftp to 755 then people will be able to read but not write to the dirrectory (do they need x permission to download a file?). But how do I make it so everyone can read but only certain users can write. My goal would to not use local accounts but pull usernames and passwords from a MySQL database. I would rather not transfer the username and password in clear text. Any thoughts or how toos I can follow?

Windows Network drivers in FreeBSD
Hello list, I have an MSI K7N420-Pro motherboard. It is based on the nVidia 2 chipset. I would like to make the onboard network card work in FreeBSD. From what I have read 5.3 has the ability to use MS drivers in FreeBSD (Very cool). Is there any documentation out there from someone who has successfully done this? If not is there any information about how to try and make this work. Yes I could just go get another network card but I would like to avoid this as I want to move this system to a 1U rack.

RE: Windows Network drivers in FreeBSD
I have managed to find an answer to my own question. In case anyone else wants to get an nForce2 Ethernet card running in FreeBSD 5.3 here is what I found 1. Start where you should always start. With the Handbook and the Release notes. 2. In the Handbook I found in the Glossary Project Evil (I also found a little info in the 5.3 Announcement). 3. The goal is to get MS NDIS drivers to run in FreeBSD using was they have dubbed NDISulator. 4. Do a search for NDISulator on Google or go to http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt to get instructions on how to install the Windows Driver in FreeBSD. 5. Step five may involve prayer. I will know after I test tonight. Hello list, I have an MSI K7N420-Pro motherboard. It is based on the nVidia 2 chipset. I would like to make the onboard network card work in FreeBSD.

Re: Highpoint RAID HPT374
Thanks for the reply Chuck however I think you misunderstood me. Or perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I have two 80GB WD Special Edition drives. I am Mirroring them together. When I mention having things on seperate drives I was refering to my SQL databases and web pages and such each on thier own drives (money permitting also raided to other drives.) But no right now I am looking at installing everything on one drive. I have actually already done it wil no problems so far. The system is using the ro0 driver and I think I am good to go. I wasn't sure if there were optimizations I should be aware of or utilities or anything. This is my first drive set ever. So I am looking for any tips. The block sizes question seems to only apply to a striped drives. It was a seperate question and even a seperate thought all together.

Using RAID-1 mirroring of two partitions on a single drive doesn't make a lot of sense: it will greatly slow down performance without gaining any real improvement to reliability. What blocksize you should use depends somewhat upon the files you use, and is best determined by benchmarking your expected load using the data you have; that said, normally a small blocksize will work fine if you have lots of small files. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think I have set up Bind9 correctly and I was hoping someone could point out any mistakes I may have made. I have tried to follow the examples in the handbook. I even bought DNS and BIND from O'riley. I don't really know how to troubleshoot a DNS issue yet. I know of the tools I just don't understand them yet. I have a MS DNS server running fine as my secondary and when I try to troubleshoot it I can't tell if I am getting a response from my MS system or my FBSD system. Ultimately I would like to make this bind system my primary. Once that is done I have made arrangements for an off site system to act as my secondary for redundancy and I can eliminate the MS system all together. Should I post my config info here or is that just a real bad idea? I mean anyone can get what they want from the internet I just don't know if posting it here is like inviting someone to crack my system. Also I currently only have one FreeBSD system. I am trying to run multiple services on this one system Mail, DNS, WWW, SQL. It is a pretty beefy system and will have no problem handling the load. I just want to hide the hostname of the system when I can. I only have the one customer hitting the system and it is a real small company. This system is overkill for them so I am trying to utilize the system to the best of my ability.

BIND9 REPLACE BASE BIND8
I have been having been having some issues with BIND that have been driving me up the wall. I believe I may have located the problem. I believe I had both BIND8 and BIND9 installed on the same system. So I am reinstalling from the ports collection and overwriting BIND8 completely. I wish to avoid this issue in the future. I found this in a how to online and was wondering if it is accurate. if you plan on upgrading your base system, add NO_BIND= true to / etc/make.conf to keep 'buildworld' from blowing away your current BIND install. For one thing there was no make.conf in /etc. Then the other thing is the syntax looks odd to me. I would have thought it would be NO_BIND=TRUE as this is the syntax I have seen in rc.conf. Could someone set me strait? Thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The base system is Darwin. Darwin is derived from FreeBSD. Here is a clipping from apples own site. If they are misleading people take up your gripe with them. The upgraded kernel, based on FreeBSD 5.x, provides optimized resource locking for better scalability across multiple processors, support for 64-bit memory pointers through the System library and standards-based access control lists. The system enhances network services via a next-generation launch daemon and centralized application logging. Tiger also features command-line access to Spotlight for searching application metadata and enables many common UNIX utilities to http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/unix.html Do a search for FreeBSD on Apple's site and you will see pages and pages of FreeBSD references in OS X.

Scheduled system backups program
I have a customer who has learned the hard way (the very hard way) that backups of your corporate data are imperative. Well now that I have spent the last three days trying to recover their data I need to implement a backup plan for them. They only have a few drives for backup (two 40G and a 160G) up so I would like to make a full backup this week and then schedule incremental backups from now on. The two 40G are probably going to get striped together and the 160 is going to be a dedicated backup. They do not have any tape drives only hard drives and to top it all off they only have Macs. They are using a dedicated Mac running OS 9.2 acting as a server. I was hoping I could upgrade that system to OS X and I was wondering if there are any FreeBSD utilities that would work for backing up. Otherwise I will be setting up a freebsd backup server and I would like to save the customer the money and not have to go that route. I am sorry for the many OS X questions I have been posting here over the last few days but the Darwin mailing list did not respond. Does anyone know of a good OS X mailing list I can join?

/etc and /usr/local/etc directories
I have decided to take the plunge and try out 5.2.1. I figure it will be 5.3 soon and I like the idea of upgrading at that time. So I am going to start fiddling with it. The first thing I am noticing is when installing apps from the ports directory my config files are getting put into /usr/local/etc instead of where I am used to /etc. I am guessing this by design and wanted to confirm this. Is this a config setting somewhere? It is fine in the /usr/local/etc directory but if it is a config setting then perhaps there are other settings that have changed that I have not encountered yet. I would like to read up on the changes. While I am on the subject. Are there any other differences between 4.10 and 5.X that will take me by surprise? I read through the Release notes on FreeBSD.org and it never mentioned the /etc directory thing. So perhaps there are some other items I should keep my eye out for.

Re: Replacing Bind8x with Bind9
BIND 9 requires a good source of randomness to operate. It also requires configuration of rndc, including a secret key. If you are using FreeBSD 4.x, visit http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/randomness.html for information on how to set up entropy gathering. Users of FreeBSD 5.x do not need to perform this step. If you are running BIND 9 in a chroot environment, make sure that there is a /dev/random device in the chroot. The easiest, and most secure way to configure rndc is to run 'rndc-confgen -a' which will generate the proper conf file, with a new random key, and appropriate file permissions. I guess I really need a bind9 on FreeBSD doc. That can answer all my questions. I can't find anything that suites my needs on ISC.ORG. Has anyone come across a well written bind9 doc? I purchased the Complete FreeBSD book and several others they however don't cover Bind9 nor does the handbook. I bought the BIND9 and DNS from Oriley however that will be a few more weeks of reading.

I guess you should first be asking yourself what is it you will be doing with the system you are setting up: Will you be running this as a server and are simply looking for an easy way to interface with the system? Are you setting up a desktop replacement? If you are setting up a server will it be accessible from the Internet or is it simply a local system? If you are setting up a desktop what will be your top 5 main uses? SERVER: If you are running a server, then the obvious (I didn't like the answer when I first started either) is do not install X. It takes a lot of disk space, it does slow down the system, and more software means potentially more security vulnerabilities. So why not only run X when you need to actually need to use the system. Sure, you set your system to not have X running at startup (this is the default) and only start it when you need it. However, you are still wasting space, there are still potential security risks, and honestly running the system from a command line is not all that hard. In addition, you can telnet into it from your desktop so you would not need a Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor. If you decide you must run a GUI because you are unfamiliar with CLI or you just like them better pick one of the lighter weight window managers. Yes, they are boring but you do not need a fancy desktop on a Server. DESKTOP: If you are planning on this being a desktop replacement then I can fully understand wanting to have a cool desktop. KDE is very popular as well as GNOME. You can see screenshots on their respective websites. KDE has a cool feature that if set up allows you to pick your window manager on login (mind you this causes KDE and X windows to be running at all times). This would require reading chapter 5 in the FreeBSD Handbook. This is arguably you greatest source of FreeBSD information. It is a short chapter to read but does explain quite a lot. I myself had to read the chapter more then once before I fully understood it. Now I feel very comfortable using X. No expert but I feel very comfortable. The one you choose is up to you. I say play with as many as you can and see which one fits your needs better. You can find many personal opinions online as to which display manager is better. I have no desire to be labeled a troublemaker so I will not give my opinions on the subject. There are also several sites dedicated to customizing the look and feel of the various window managers. The community can correct me if I am wrong but applications built for KDE will run fine on GNOME and vice versa. I think they just may not look as pretty as they use different API's or something. They still work they just need their associated libraries and you are good. Therefore, if you fall in love with the KOFFICE application but prefer the GNOME desktop, I don't think there is a problem with that (you can also install OPENOFFICE.). Well enough said. Good luck.

ports on OS X
So my wife has decided to use a mac. Having been a Mac Advocate for years I was ok with it. I wish she would have gone with a faster model but oh well. She is being kind enough to let me play. I have to say this is pretty sweet. Down to the questions. Any one know how I can get the ports collection on here? I am thinking download CVSup and then running a ports-all. Any other ideas?

Hello everyone, I am able to ping my loopback as well as my static IP address. but I am not able to ping any other system on the net, my ISP's DNS server nor the ISP's Default Gateway.

unable to ping my ISP's Servers.
Do you hear people say they feel completly stupid becuase of what the problem was often? Well if you don't you do now. After paying better attention to my startup log a little prase saying no carrier stuck out this time. I checked my new switch that I bought for my new setup and it looked fine. But something didn't feel write so I started at the switch for about 20 seconds when I relized my switch shares the uplink port with port 5 and that happens to be the port I plugged the FreeBSD system into. So I moved the cable to a different port and viola. Thanks as always for everyones advice. I learn something new every time I talk to you guys. netstat -rn is pretty cool. Now I will just need to read the man page to figure out what those flags mean. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Routing Training Books Please!!
After many years of waiting my company has a position opening up that I can fill. I spoke with the Net Admin and asked if there were any one skill that would be of a great benefit to my company and his response was Routing, IP and subnetting (ok so more then one. But I swear he can count). So here I am with maybe a month before they make a decision and I am thinking I should beef up on my skills. I am hoping someone out there may know of some GREAT (free, I am a poor slob) resources for Routing. I have exactly 0 experience in Routing. I do however have a Cisco 1700 at home to practice with. I could use some IP and subnetting refreshers so I am open to suggestions there too. I am sorry to bother everyone. I have had such great help from the FreeBSD community since I started running it at home I thought maybe someone out there may know of a good place for me to start.

Re: I downloaded everything to no avail! ISO's fail to burn
Hi everyone, I am not sure how this works or if I will ever get feedback. Anyway I just discovered FreeBSD yesterday. I read all about it and I am excited to intrigue myself with this new pc adventure. Sounds great and I will learn something about code at the same time. I feel it had a kind of old school feeling to it, at the same time cutting edge technology. I am a believer in it's viability over Microsofts Windows. They love to hide information from us not inform us. Welcome Jerremy to the FreeBSD community. I am taking it on myself as a fellow new user to say It is a pleasure to meet you and you are in for one exciting ride. FreeBSD is the greatest Operating System I have ever experienced (Holly cow I sound like a salesmen). You obviously have the curiosity to get yourself started. If you also have the ability to search for answers in the very abundant FreeBSD resources on the net you will have a great time. The reason I am writing. I downloaded the 5.2.1 IS0's. I burned the boot disk successfully it seems. But I tried to burn the first big ISO file and it failed to burn. Some type of burn error following the track or something. Then I tried that other download that isn't the ISO but the regular files. That wouldn't do anything either. It burned but I can't instal it. That doesn't boot. Or install in anyway. I had a problem with 5.2.1 as well about two months ago (I think) I was using Nero and had a problem burning the disk. So I downloaded the ISO from another server and then was able to burn fine (Oh and I happened to switched media as well). Then I started having a problem booting to the Burned CD. I took the liberty of pulling an old 48X CD drive (I was trying to use my LiteOn CDRW drive) and was able to boot to the CD. However, I then experienced some other issues that I think was due to the new ACPI features in 5X and the fact that my system does not support PS2 or other legacy devices so I was having a problem disabling the ACPI functionality. I then made the incredibly wise choice to switch to the 4.X branch and about 5 days later 4.10 came out. I downloaded 4.10 and installed and have been having a great time ever since. Since you are new I would recomend not to follow 5.X until it is in a -STABLE branch (Perhaps it is and I am just misinformed someone correct me if I am wrong). Unless you need some of the specific new features then 4.X is the way to go. That is my humble opinion. I think SMP was added or updated, and ELF either was added (I read something yesterday that Says 4.X has ELF support so maybe someone could clarify) The 5.X branch may give you some headaches for a newcomer. Trust me 4.10 is just as cool and incredibly stable. If you are the kind of guy (like I was until about 30 days ago) who thinks the cutting edge is the better way to go. Then you will have a great time. The FreeBSD community is always added greater and greater functionality at the cost of stability at times. 4.10 was release as I said like a month ago or something. It is still very new. I am wondering if FreeBSD is actually free or is this a way to get us to order the retail box lol. I don't want to feel that way. Yestersay I was so excited about this. I hope you can enlighten me some. FreeBSD is totally free. Donations are always welcome and I am sure they are graciously excepted. Personally I recommend that you drop the 30 bucks and get yourself a FreeBSD book like FreeBSD unleashed. Although you really do not need it because there is an abundance of information out there for FreeBSD. The Handbook is the best place to start and it totally free. It explains so much. I would like to see some more realistic examples in the handbook but hey, I guess if I want it I ought to update it and submit it to a committer. I found www.n0dez.com/freebsd and www.freebsdportal.com were a great place to find lots of links to FreeBSD sites. FreeBSD is a fabulous OS however there is no point to have it if you do not do something with it. Once I had it installed I kind of looked at my screen like what next. So the links I went to from there led me to the resources I needed to get my Postfix mail server, Bind 9 DNS server, MySql server, and PHP up and running. Now I need to look for some info on Mono (Unix .NET equivalent). Good luck I hope I helped answer any of your questions. I say try downloading from another FTP server and possibly if you have one another CD drive.

Building a Stable Secure FreeBSD Mail server
I have located what I feel is a very complete document on Building a Stable Secure FreeBSD Mail server (That happens to be the name of the Doc too. Go figure) I am not sure what the age of this document is. In the document it reads: I like to change the default algorithm used when encrypting a user's password to the blowfish algorithm, as it provides the highest security at the greatest speed. Is this an accurate statement? My current passwd_format is set to md5 and I thought md5 was like Da Bomb(Ok white guy trying to be funny here). I am still pretty new, so I don't know the difference between these different algorithms. Any thoughts, comments, personal preferences (along with an understandable explanation would be nice) are appreciated.

Thank you, Joshua Lewis dave Hi, What mail server was this doc dealing with and can you give me the address? Some clues as to the age is what version of fbsd was being discussed, currently 4.10 is production stable while 5.2.1 is new technology, even though i use that on my production systems. Not sure as to the difference between md5 and blf password hashing, i do know that they both are methods of encrypting a password and supposedly blf is more secure but it also doesn't have compatibility with anything else.

I have been trying to get this working for quite some time now and am starting to get very frustrated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
