Installation Problem with SCSI Adapter and 4.9
I got an old machine from a garage sale a couple months ago and have been unable to install any operating system on it. Mainly with errors like isolinux: spec packet failed to locate cd rom device. And with FreeBSD 5.1 i got: Building the boot loader arguments: Read Error: 0x01 Could not find Primary Volume Descriptor Someone on IRC pointed me to a release not for 5.1 about how older SCSI CD-Rom Drives will not work anymore with 5.1 on installs. He also told me that 4.9 might work then. So I downloaded 4.9 and put it in. It booted to the installer unlike pretty much every operating system i've tried. During the installation once i got the the partitioning and anything related to the hard drive i would get an error saying there was no disk detected. The Hard Drive and CD-Rom Drive are both detected on the POST, however. I've been able to pull out a lot of information on whats going on. Its an Adaptec AHA 2940 W Ultra/Ultra Bios 1.23 SCSI Controller with a Seagate hard drive and a Plextor CD-Rom Drive. The machine is a pentium pro 200mhz with a 3com nic and a Matrox vga card. It only has 1 IDE interface on the motherboard which is missing pins so i have no floppy drive on it. Hard Drive(Lun:0) - - - SCSI Controller(Lun-7 - - - Plextor CD-Rom Drive(Lun:3). They are both on different cables. I've verified that both cables work. The Controller does talk to the hard drive also. You can manually format it in the SCSI Controllers bios. So Far i've tried changing the termination from automatic to every option. Turned off bios translation. Turned off Lun Support. Modified the kernel config file to make sure the settings were accurate. Also in tty2 at the end there were a few interesting messages. (da0:ahc): MEDIUM ERROR asc:31,0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa0 to sl10 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa1 to sl10 DEBUG: Unable to open disk cd0 DEBUG: Unable to open disk da0 So i launched a emegency shell in tty4 and did camcontrol devlist. It showed the CD-Rom Drive and the Hard Drive. No SCSI Controller though if one was suppost to be present. It was after this we turned off DOS Translation and Lun Support. Still no go. If someone can help please do. I've spent so much time on this and i can't think of anything else that might work. - Matt Smith _ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!

Re: Displaying Slideshow on Remote Computer
I would recommend running VNC, but opposite to what you seem to be thinking. Run the VNC client on the BSD box, and the server on the Windows Box. The PPT slide show could be delivered and controlled by PowerPoint on the Windows box, and the VNC client would display the Windows Desktop on the Kiosk. -Matt On Thu, 2003-02-20 at 18:43, Rik Scarborough wrote: I'll explain what I want to do, then what I planned and ask my question. That way if any of you have a better way to accomplish this, you can let me know. I need to display a Power Point slide on a FreeBSD computer running more or less like a Kiosk. The FreeBSD machine will be running in a foyer displaying the Slide show and playing mp3's. It will not have a keyboard attached and needs to be controlled (i.e. slides changed) from a Windows box in the office. Both machines will be on the network. Our plan is to use Open Office to show the slide show. I had planned to put XWindows on the Windows machine (using Cygwin) and export the display from the FreeBSD box, but then it dawned on me that I will not get the same display that is running the slide show. i.e. Open Office will be running on localhost:0.0, but the user will be looking at remotebox:0.0. As a side benefit, this will be a chance to put a BSD desktop in front of the users who overwhelming feel that they have to have Windows to do their job. Someone suggested VNC, but that does not appear to control the :0.0 display. I'm not sure how that is different from rlogin to the BSD box and exporting the display. Is there a way to either control Open Office from the command line, or grab Open Office, at least Impress, from localhost:0.0 long enough to open a new file and start the slide show, and then push it back? ~Rik -- It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

spaces in fstab

RE: problem with install
I believe some types of RAM need a terminator card in some slots on some mobos ...

From your description of what you have done to fix the problem, I can see that you started to use the process of elimination method to debug the problem. You need to continue using this method. First of all I have never heard of ever needing dummy cards to terminate unused memory slots. Remove them. Also strip down your PC to bare bones. Remove SCSI control card from PC PCI bus and unplug power supplies from all SCSI devices. Only have IDE hard drive and IDE CDROM drive and install FBSD to see if it works. If that works then you know you have problem with SCSI control card.

Re: Authenticating a FreeBSD users to Win2K Kerberos
The AD DCs work just as an MIT KrbV KDC works. A couple things to watch for: *For Kerberos authentication, your realm will be the same as your FQDN Active Directory domain, in UPPERCASE. The KDC will be automatically found if you are running W2k DNS (or the proper SRV+TXT records in your DNS) If you add the following to your krb5.conf file: [libdefaults] ... dns_lookup_kdc = true dns_lookup_realm = true ... This lets you simply type kinit [EMAIL PROTECTED] To use the AD as your default realm, use this: [libdefaults] ... default_realm = MYAD.MYDOMAIN.TLD ...

Re: vnc at start-up
Try this: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~andre/extern/ixvnc.htm The newest versions of XVnc have the patch built in. Effectively, this allows a XVnc session to be launced via inetd, and upon initial connection you are presented with a [XKG]DM login screen. You can even configure the web component to do the same. And, with some clever SSH tunnels created on bootup, you can encrypt your VNC session. -Matt On Wed, 2003-01-29 at 21:27, Roger Merritt wrote: I've installed vnc from the ports and it works fine, but it's annoying to have to log on to my server and start the vncserver every time I want to connect from my desktop PC.

S3Virge DX causes X and Text screen corruption
I am trying to configure an S3Virge DX for XFree86. When X loads, the screen looks fine initially, except for the mouse, which has some odd corruption around it. As I move the mouse around, start programs, or do anything that changes the screen, the areas of the screen that change do not seem to refresh properly. In addition, just after I start X, and an instant before the X interface actually begins, I see my text console get corrupted. It almost looks like the monitor is shifting everything roughly 3 inches to the right, and wrapping lines around the screen. Text near the bottom of the screen gets corrupted. I have tried using the following options, with no success: noaccel True Xvideo False SWCursor True But I don't know enough about the other options to guess which I should try. Below is my XF86Config file. Any help would be appreciated.

The above inetd.conf entry will allow for DIRECT queries, INDIRECT can be used by replacing -query localhost with -broadcast. I use -query localhost to make Xvnc grab XDM only from my local box, but this param can be configured to grab the XDM login from another box. I would suggest reading about iXVNC from the VNC page -- the inetd functionality originally came from this patch, but is now a native part of the XVNC daemon: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~andre/extern/ixvnc.htm !!!Warning: As configured, simply connecting to Xvnc service passes everything plaintext!!!

How do I block spam locally? (WAS: Re: Reacting to spam targettedto freebsd.org [was: Re: PLS GET BACK TO ME.])
I agree, but how do I run spam filtering locally? As an average desktop user, I simply use a client to POP mail from a server -- are there client plugins that filter for spam? I currently use Evolution, but am willing to change if there a spam filter plugins for other clients. As a slightly-more-than-average desktop user, I just figured out fetchmail to fetch a POP3 account to my local sendmail (base system, default install, set for local deliver only). Is SpamAssassin the best way to go? Is it a plugin for Sendmail? If I'm going to start messin' with my local MTA, should I try something besides Sendmail? The config options of Sendmail are somewhat daunting -- it seems like an SMTP handler should be simpler. Thoughts?

For what it's worth, I run SpamAssassin locally, and use it to *mark* possible spams, but never drop them. Then I configured my client to filter based on the `X-Spam-Status' header into a spam folder that I periodically check.

For instance, opening port 3389 on the firewall (from the inside, machine A) would open port 3389 of machine B that sits on the other network. Is there a port that can handle that? I don't need encryption, so (I think) that SSH tunnels are way too much for me. Best regards, Carlos. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus Powerful. Affordable.

gdm2 + gdmchooser
Is anyone successfully running gdm2 with gdmchooser? I have enabled XDCMP options using the gdm configuration program, and have verified the changes in gdm.conf. I am expecting to see gdmchooser pop-up at login, displaying computers broadcasting and making direct queries, but I don't see anything. Am I missing some configuration, or am I confused as to what gdmchooser will do? thanks all!

Netbeans
Anyone using NetBeans for Java development on FreeBSD? Good, bad, ugly? Also, are there any good multi-language GUI IDEs for FreeBSD? At the moment I use SciTE for my coding (lots of languages supported for syntax highlighting), then Makefiles for project management, which is pretty good. I would like something similar to the NetBeans interface, but with support for other language plugins (providing project management, syntax highlighting, compiler configurations, GUI interface to existing debugging tools, etc), AND an existing archive of plugins for numerous languages, since I am too lazy to write my own. ;) I am not interested in using vi or emacs, or any such spin-offs. I am primarily looking for language support for C, C++, Java, PERL, PHP, Python, and LISP. I would prefer something free and in the ports collection, but I am open to commercial offerings as well, as long as it runs on FreeBSD (because I am not willing to switch to Linux).

Re: Best practice when building a -STABLE branch kernel
List, please correct me if I am wrong: The business-as-usual practice would be to not run -Stable, but rather run a -Release. -Stable, although more stable than -Current, should not be run in business-production, although my hunch is that many small environments do. If you are running -Stable, then chances are you have some technical knowledge, and could contribute back to the project, in which case including debugging options could be helpful. Any other thoughts? -Matt On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 12:10, joe wrote: Is it a best practice to include debuging options in a -STABLE tree kernel?

Re: Using MFS for the first time
What is the /dev/null component in the MFS line below? I have seen the swap slice used, but never /dev/null. For that matter, I don't even really know what that component does -- why do I need to list a device for a RAM disk? Could someone fill in my knowledge gap? Thanks -Matt Oliver Fromme wrote: Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, so I've been using Windows, so what?! Sure it crashes alot, and has a serious number of fatal errors, but it compatible with an easy to configure Ram-disk program. In a matter of seconds, i had a virtual drive running off of my 512 mb of spare ram. That's right, the old RAM-Disk driver even existen in the old DOS days, 15 years ago, and that's where it belongs. It is static and non-swappable. Not even perfect for a single-tasking system like DOS. ;-) Okay, so maybe i exaggerate a little. I'm not too fond of Windows. Freebsd is the best choice i've made by far. However, i am quite new to MFS usages, and Kernel compilations. I'm hoping that an expert in this field can point out the pro's and con's, usages of, maintenance of MFS. Btw, this is just a standalone system, a personal computer, u might say. I'm not an expert, but I'm using MFS myself. It's pretty easy to set up: Add a line like this to your /etc/fstab file: /dev/null /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,nodev,-s=204800,-m=0,-T=minimum 0 0 The number behind -s= specifies the maximum size in disk blocks, where one block is 512 bytes. In the above example, the MFS filesystem would be 100 Mbytes. It is mounted on /tmp, which is the typical usage for an MFS. Pros: Well, it's faster than a physical disk, as long as there is enough RAM to back up the data. If you run out of RAM, the contents of the MFS are (partially) paged to the swap area on your harddisk, just like a normal process (and unlike the DOS RAMdisk driver). Cons: If you're really low on RAM, and MFS won't do you any good -- quite the opposite: It takes up valuable RAM which ends up being paged to disk anyway if there's not enough RAM left. Another disadvantage is that the contents of the MFS are lost when the machine reboote (obviously). On the other hand it could be seen as an advantage, as the contents of /tmp don't have to be cleaned after a reboot. Be careful not to mount an MFS on /var/tmp, because this directory is expected by several tools to survive a reboot (for example to save vi editor sessions)!

Let me tell something about my hardware and settings, maybe this will reveal something obvious and blaring to you, but hidden to me. IRQ Problems: I am running WindowsXP on an ASUS P2B motherboard. It is a dual processor board, but I only have one P2 (450mhz) processor (I am running hal.dll). When I run Winmsd.exe (in safe mode). I show the display adapter (Matrox G400 Max) at IRQ 16. In the BIOS I have the PnP OS variable set to OFF. When I power up the machine and I see the display of most of the system devices, their address, names and IRQ values. Here, the display adapter resides at IRQ 12. During the installation probe of freeBSD there is no option to set the display adapter IRQ. The mouse comes up as IRQ 12 and will not let me edit it. So I think I have an IRQ conflict, but I don't know how to resolve it on the pc end or the freeBSD end. I even tried fooling the BIOS into thinking that the display adapter had a different IRQ so that it would not occupy IRQ 12. Alas, to no avail. I would love to send the startup log, but I haven't figured out how to do that. The machine assumptions are different every which way I look at them. In windows safe mode I see what looks to be a complete accounting of config values. In normal mode, running Winmsd.exe I get a different set of values. Looking at the device manager reveals some different twists. The machine level/BIOS assumptions have subtle but important differences, and finally the freeBSD probe reveals different values all together. For me it is a little like hitting a moving target that is on a moving target (while I am moving). Here is where I could use some help. 1. I need a tool or procedure that I could use to DEFINATIVELY capture IRQ, I/O and memory addresses (all I care about is wow they will work in freeBSD). 2. A way to view and edit IRQ information on the freeBSD side other than the initial installation. It takes a LONG time to re-install the system, when you just want to change one value and test it (something like the system probe). I have re-installed the system, probably 30 times now (I'm a little stubborn). I am a newbie to be sure, but I really want to learn. I have a definite goal in mind for setting this up. I want to set up an FTP and mail server, and I have consistently heard that the BSD platform is THE way to go (I also love this sort of challenge). I will not be deterred or discouraged.
