First commercial 1080p satellite broadcasts in Afric
The first commercial direct to home satellite broadcasting of a linear 1080p television channel will commence in Africa later this year, as the result of the agreement by Sahara Media of Tanzania to broadcast the Landscape Channel in full HD, commencing this autumn. This is a first for technology and for Africa. LandscapeHD will be available throughout Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Mozambique and Burundi with a satellite footprint covering East and Central Africa. LandscapeHD is a languagelesss instrumental music channel showing the beauty of the natural world in the highest technical quality available to satellite broadcasters. LandscapeHD is a free to air music channel funded by national government tourism advertising, as well as global and local brand advertising, in a new languageless format only seen on the Landscape Channel. It takes global languagless tourism and destination advertising, previously used on the internet, and delivers it into traditional television broadcast homes using its new proprietary mini-server IP distribution system. This is connected to normal in-home television services (such as cable, satellite and now the fast developing connected tv market). This unique distribution system is expected to deliver a raft of new specialist music channels into traditional television distribution over the coming twelve months, as distributors discover how this new technology can deliver specialist music channels anywhere in the world, without the traditional costs associated with broadcast servers and rights societies determined to squeeze the life out of minority music channels by the charges they levy for specialist music at the same rate as pop music. Contact: Nick Austin Chairman +44 1424 830628 Editors note: LandscapeHD delivers its television signal globally from one source into any television distribution system anywhere in the world using a broadcast television server that costs less than the cost of an iphone and is about the same size. This technology delivers a 24 hour music television channel into any country anywhere in the world and into any format (adroid, smartphone, tablet, operating system or television system) without any cost to the user. Nick Austin was the co-founder of the Beggars Banquet music label (now often referred to as the fifth major) and is committed to the concept of delivering specialist msuic channels into television as the new store for music. -- If you do not want to receive any more newsletters, http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=unsubscribeuid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 To update your preferences and to unsubscribe visit http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=preferencesuid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 Forward a Message to Someone http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=forwarduid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8mid=124 -- Powered by PHPlist, www.phplist.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
Unsigned artist wins Gold at Cannes Lions - worlds biggest advertising award
Susannah Austin won a Cannes Gold Lion this last week for writing the lyrics and singing her song Auto Tune for the global Dove brand commercial. The award is likened to winning gold at the olympics as it is open to all advertising agencies world-wide to enter and considered the top advertising award in the industry. The following week the same song was awarded an Aerial. http://www.canneslions.com/work/2013/radio/entry.cfm?entryid=35529award=2 http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/news/1187294/ Susannah is the daughter of Claire Hamill, the legendary Island Records recording artist (Geronino's Cadillac). Her album, currently being recorded in the UK for autumn release, is being produced by Tymon Dogg of the Clash. UK executive manager Nick Austin, who set up the Beggars Banquet Records Group with Martin Mills and who runs the Landscape Channel television channel says Susannah has the voice of an angel and the power of Adele. Anyone who is seriously involved in A and R should listen to her album as there cant be many artists they will work with who walk in the door of the music business with the contacts that Susannah has under her belt. The one thing you can be certain of is she will be heard and seen in most major world territories very soon. We are actively looking for a major label to follow through on the work done to date. Contact me for details. Contact Nick Austin: +44 1424 830628 Editors Note: No autotune will be used on the forthcoming Susannah Austin album. -- If you do not want to receive any more newsletters, http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=unsubscribeuid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 To update your preferences and to unsubscribe visit http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=preferencesuid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8 Forward a Message to Someone http://www.landscapehd.com/lists/?p=forwarduid=b2af32f916764866e3e3e21c5d7b75b8mid=117 -- Powered by PHPlist, www.phplist.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

Somewhat frustrating that the lang/gcc42 port used to include Fortran, and no longer does, and (ISTR) the same goes for lang/gcc43. This means that portupgrade may automagically remove Fortran.

Re: editing a binary file
If your Fortran file has the same word size and enddian-ness as your
C, this simple program convert.c will strip all the record length
fields. I just knocked it up now, no warranty, etc, but it works for
me. Use as a pipe:
$ ls
convert.c test.f
$ gcc -Wall -Werror -ansi -pedantic convert.c -o convert
$ gfortran44 test.f -o test
$ ./test
$ ls -l test-output
-rw-r--r-- 1 nb nb 2460 Dec 18 11:17 test-output
$ ./convert test-output test-converted
$ ls -l test-converted
-rw-r--r-- 1 nb nb 2420 Dec 18 11:18 test-converted
$
The code does a fair amount of checking; if you get one of the error
messages, let us know. The most obvious unchecked problem is a short
read, which will complain about mismatched lengths.
If your Fortran has different word sizes or enddian-ness (e.g. most of
the Fortran output files I use on the Clear Climate Code project
http://clearclimatecode.org/ are generated on big-endian machines),
you will need to add code to tweak the 'size' value after reading it,
and when checking the record-end marker.

Maybe there's a similar efficient way to truncate the start of a file.

The small buffer size for dd will probably make copies of multi-gig files slow. This might be faster: tail -c +5 myfile outfile truncate -4 outfile (Has anyone mentioned that you can edit binary files interactively with vi yet? No? Well, it's horrific and surely has interesting failure modes. And there are probably disadvantages also.) All very interesting, but the OP is wanting to lose all the Fortran record markers, not just the first (and last) four bytes of the file. The record markers precede and follow each record, and give the record's length. The size and enddian-ness of the record marker itself depends on the Fortran implementation.

how does gmirror start up?
I am running a 6.3 system and have had various problems with disk reliability on a key filesystem, probably down to SCSI hardware or drivers. I'm intending to replace that SCSI disk with a pair of SATA disks ad6/7, using gmirror as gm0 (while keeping ad4 as our boot disk). I have set up the mirror and right now I'm part-way through using rsync to transfer the data. But I have a question concerning the underlying operation of GEOM, which is troubling me. I have read the various man pages and handbook pages relating to GEOM and gmirror, but they don't seem to answer this. When I reboot the system, gmirror comes up (because of the line in /boot/loader.conf) and gm0 appears, backed by ad6/7. Where is this configuration information stored? That is, how does the system know to make gm0, with ad6/7 as the backing store. I would expect there to be a file somewhere in /etc with this config information, but I don't see it in the documentation. From reading gmirror(8), I understand that there is a label sector at the ends of ad6 and ad7, identifying them as parts of gm0. But that config information is back-to-front: at boot time the system knows from /etc/fstab that it needs gm0; how does it find the underlying disks? Does the system search the ends of all physically-attached disks, looking for GEOM labels, and automatically make any corresponding GEOM devices? Surely not (that would mean, for instance, that if I took one of these disks out of this machine and put it into another FreeBSD system then that machine would automatically set up gm0 with this disk). Possibly I'm just being dense. Can someone enlighten me?

Nowhere up to that point in the Installation chapter and process (I didn't need to have said) did it mention X.

Mentioning it three chapters later is not really very helpful to people struggling to get the thing installed step-by-step! Step-by-step guides are difficult to write, especially be people that know a lot about the subject beforehand as details tend to get glossed over. When it doesn't work (as has happened to me) and you have to Ctrl-Alt- Del then you are left feeling lost and confused - a bit like Linux ten years ago.

Is it just me, or is this something other folks have seen as well?

GPT support?
I've got a 7.0-RC1 system and am setting up a 1TB USB drive on it. I'd like to set the drive up with a GUID partition table. I've used the GPT utility to create the GPT label and the partition, but though GPT says that there's now a da0p1 partition, I don't see a /dev node for it. I'd assume that I'd need to load a GEOM module for GPT but I don't see one. It hardly seems possible that GPT support isn't there...

In other words, it's the same GNOME, but installing the gnome2-lite port doesn't install extras, like games. GNOME is invoked the same way regardless of which port is used.

Problems opening, viewing, and manipulating PRs
Hello Since around last Friday the 17th, I have been having some difficulty working with FreeBSD problem reports. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the FreeBSD.org systems being moved that day or if it's just a coincidence. Anyway, I have opened two PRs, ports/105652 three days ago and just today ports/105760, that I received no email confirmation upon opening, as I have with PRs in the past. I filed them using send-pr, and the system they were sent from says in its mail logs that the messages were delivered to mx1.freebsd.org successfully. I only found the PR numbers by seeing the reports in the archives for the freebsd- ports-bugs list. I cannot find them using http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ query-pr.cgi or http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi. Additionally, I've sent I think four emails now to bug- [EMAIL PROTECTED] trying to update the audit trail with a patch on another PR I opened, ports/105563. I've tried from a couple of different systems, and my mail logs again indicate that the messages were delivered successfully to mx1.freebsd.org. Earlier on the 17th, before I started having any problems, I was able to add a patch on yet another PR I have, ports/105560, so this problem is also a new one. Has anyone else had similar problems like this?

Re: Diablo-Jre / Javavmwraper / Firefox / FreeBSD6.2
Graham, I did some testing with 6.2 RC1, and was able to install the JRE and run some Java applications, however others had various errors. I'm just assuming that they will need to recompile for 6.2 when it's ready.

WordPress, Apache, modules, mod_rewrite - how to verify?
I've been looking on the web for hours but haven't found any help, though of asking on some forums when I suddenly remembered! There's freebsd-questions!! Anyway, I'm a MS SQL Server guy, trying to mess around with FreeBSD at home. I've managed to install 6.1, CVSup, xorg, KDE, Apache 1.3. I haven't touched this box for a while due to my work schedule, now I'm trying to pick up where I left off... I just install ed WordPress from ports, trying to use it to learn PHP and MySQL. (At work, I'm almost 100% SQL Server only! I'm hoping to change to a Linux / Oracle, Data Warehouse type of position but outside of work, I would like to learn some PHP, Perl and MySQL... may be start a little side web biz or something...) So, main question: WordPress requires PHP 4 and MySQL 3 or later, and optional mod_rewrite. How do I verify if these are installed? I used pkg_version -v to check my installed ports' versions, I have these: apache-1.3.37_1 mod_perl-1.29_1 mysql-client-5.1.11 perl-5.8.8 php5-5.1.4 php5-mysql-5.1.4 php5-pcre-5.1.4 php5-xml-5.1.4 wordpress-2.0.4_1,1 I think I still need to install mod_php and mod_rewrite, but I can't see them in /usr/ports/www How do I verify that php, MySql and mod_rewrite are install and function properly in Apache?

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj (...)
G'day all, Just wondering whether anyone knows any details regarding the swap_pager warnings bug noted on the 6.1-RELEASE Release Engineering to do page (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html). Specifically, a PR number would be excellent (I'm assuming one exists). I believe that this issue has been biting me for a while now (or at least it only began appearing after I enabled a swap file on a lowly machine which had to have bad RAM removed that I'm too cheap / poor to replace) and often results in machine lockups. I'd love to see it addressed (assuming that this is indeed what's biting me, which I'm fairly sure of*) before 6.2-RELEASE (probably a little unlikely, I guess) and would be happy to test patches / etc.. Thanks all! * I _could_ disable the swap file and leave the thing belting away for a while to see if the problem doesn't reoccur, but it'll mean a few processes getting killed here and there due to lack of available memory... -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

More on ICH8
I've gotten a little bit further in trying to get the ICH8 (P965) chipset on my new machine recognized. This page is quite helpful: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=8086 Using it, I added some code to ata-chipset.c to recognize the ICH8 SATA controllers and ehci_pci.c and uhci_pci.c to recognize the USB controllers. The USB stuff appears to work flawlessly. The ATA stuff has one minor glitch: atapci2: Intel ICH8 SATA300 controller port 0xd400-0xd407,0xd080-0xd083,0xd000-0xd007,0xcc00-0xcc03,0xc880-0xc88f, 0xc800-0xc80f irq 19 at device 31.5 on pci0 atapci2: failed to enable memory mapping! ata7: ATA channel 0 on atapci2 ata8: ATA channel 1 on atapci2 I'm not sure what's up with the failure to memory-map, but since I only have one drive connected (and it's not connected to this particular instance), it's harmless at the moment. I've moved my SATA drive from the JMicro RAID controller to one of the ICH8 ports, and it appears to work. I tried to add the HD audio chip to /sys/sound/pci/ich.c, but unfortunately, all I get is an error that it cannot map its I/O space: pcm0: Intel ICH8 (82801H) mem 0xfebf8000-0xfebfbfff irq 22 at device 27.0 on pci0 pcm0: unable to map IO port space device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 The P5B motherboard has a Realtek Ethernet controller. Realtek has a FreeBSD driver for it: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/ downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=rtl8168 Perhaps their changes could be either rolled into -CURRENT or merged back to RELENG_6? Getting the SMB controller recognized would be next, so I could get mbmon to work. I can't quite figure out which driver (if any) is close enough a match to try adding the PCI ID. Last, but not least, since I have ATA_STATIC_ID turned on, I need to let the kernel know where the disk is every time I move it. The problem is that my AT keyboard doesn't work at the mountroot prompt for some odd reason. A USB keyboard plugged in early enough to be probed does work, however. But for some unknown reason, having a USB keyboard plugged in causes the system to boot in slow motion (this appears to be a BIOS bug - and yes, I did disable legacy USB support. No help). Anybody know what's up with that? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ICH8 chipset support?
I just upgraded my machine at home to a Conroy-ready motherboard - An Asus P5B. This particular motherboard has the smallest fraction of recognized devices I think I've ever come across. From what I can tell, the blame can be placed squarely on the Intel ICH8 chipset that supplies almost all of the devices in the system. USB is working, though it is recognized only generically. The ICH8 SATA ports do not seem to work properly (thank goodness for the JMicro RAID controller - which can be used without RAID). The audio subsystem, SMB controller and the Realtek on-board Ethernet aren't recognized at all.

But companies like 3Ware and Areca are supporting it and from what I see on the lists, people are voting with their money in their favor. Mainly because they had drivers that required little modification from previous versions. Intel has a few other things on their plate, releasing more processors to bail out Freebsd's paltry performance, so give them a break. How long are vendors supposed to wait for the FreeBSD developers to deliver the performance they've claimed that they can deliver? I know several network appliance vendors all stuck on FreeBSD 4, because 5 and 6 are a step backwards performance-wise. Now they're saying 7 will be the one. FreeBSD is the OS that cried WOLF, and the vendors are starting to ignore the calls. The infrastructure is so poor (in terms of process switching times and scheduler efficiencies), and they seem clueless on how to fix it. Must be a troll. FreeBSD performance is not what holds it back. It competes well with others out there. jerry No it doesn't, Jerry. Even Robert Watson, who spends most of his time on performance issues, readily admits that - FreeBSD 6 is faster with 1 processor than 2 - FreeBSD 6 is slower with 1 processor than Freebsd 4.x Would you mind providing a source for that information? I would not be at all surprised to hear that a FreeBSD 6.x dual-CPU set-up provides less than twice the performance as that of a single CPU FreeBSD 6.x set-up, but I will happily eat my own (mighty tasty) hat if a dual CPU FreeBSD 6.x set-up performs worse than a single FreeBSD 6.x set-up. That having been said, I tend to treat Robert Watson's word as gospel, but I'd like to see it in a form I can trust (honestly, no offense intended!) first (i.e., please provide a source for your information :-)). The process switch times are 2-4x slower than on linux. Thats not 2-4%, thats 200-400% slower. Could you provide me with a source here (Not trying to be rude, but I'd be really interested in reading about this)? Simply enabling SMP on a single processor system adds 20-25% overhead in freebsd 6.1. Whilst I have trouble accepting these particular figures, I don't doubt that there is *some* overhead in dealing with multiple CPUs, from a kernel perspective. Again, readily admitted/accepted by the developers. There is no way to recover that in efficiency, at least not for a long time.

Fournier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm currently weighing options ... my last two servers were HP Proliant, and I *really* like them, but I might have a line on a supplier in Panama that deals in Dell Servers and not HP ... Looking at Dell's web site, the PowerEdge has an optional Remote Access Controller that will it *sounds* like will give me similar functionality as HPs iLO ... From my experience (this is going back a little way now) with Dell PowerEdge 2650s with a Dell ERA II controller, the controller was nowhere near as good as the iLO on a HP ProLiant DL360 G3. The Dell cards were only able to transmit text to a remote controller, which given that at the time I was working with Windows Server 2003 was a real pain! The controllers also came to us with identical MAC addresses (across thousands of machines), which was a blast... All this having been said, however, the newer Dell controllers are undoubtably leaps and bounds above the ERA II. But, I've heard bad things about their 'desktop offerings', and am not sure if that follows through to their Servers ... Funny, I've always heard (relatively) good things about their desktops / laptops :-) So, I'm kinda looking for both good, and bad, experiences with the PowerEdge stuff ... anyone with opinions? I found I had really terrible support from Dell. This may just be a Dell Australia issue, or perhaps the technicians allocated to my employer weren't all that capable, or some such. I found countless problems with (for instance) the OpenManage software with things like not showing missing HDDs under certain circumstances (I seem to recall my main concern at the time was that a missing hot-spare for a RAID 5 array would go totally unnoticed / unreported in OpenManage despite being indicated on the machine's front information display). Having to scrub RAID volumes created with the Adaptec onboard RAID controller (a PERC 5/Di (Dell's designation), from memory) was a pain, too, and very lengthy (it would take around 20 hours for a 4 x 80 decimal GB disk RAID 5 set). My experience with HP servers suggests that this process isn't required for the cards they use, but I'll happily confess to being really ignorant of this whole process. I tend to think of Dell as a low-end provider that will cobble together systems based on whatever bits happen to be lying around (don't think that one PE 2650 is the same as the next!), which in turn are invariably the cheapest bits available for a particular job. I've made this sound bad - somewhat intentionally - but there's certainly a market for cheap over quality. I would be far less averse to chucking in Dell kit at home - particularly if it cost significantly less than other options - than I would be to chucking it in a big, geographically diverse organisation with much more expensive uptime requirements.

Confusingly, FreeBSD has two versions of tar and which one is the default tar has changed recently. For simple stuff, they will be compatible with each other. bsdtar : bsd derived version of tar which in theory will know about filesystem flags, but if you don't use them then it won't matter.

Re: FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards

I added an ath card to a firewall (becoming the third NIC) and set it up following the directions. While I could connect to the access point/firewall, I could not get to anything beyond it. After some reading, I decdied to buy a standalone access point and replace the wireless ath card with a wired card to use to connect to the access point. The standalone access point (Netgear) wasn't that much more than the card and from everything I have read is the better way to go. I decided to go with a FreeBSD-based access point for a number of reasons, including (in no particular order): - Security: I trust FreeBSD in the security arena more that I do NetGear / D-Link / etc. - Security: I insisted on implementing a full-blown 802.11i / 802.1x / RADIUS configuration and as such was going to require an 802.1x / RADIUS server anyway (I'm not aware of these features being available on any cheap-ish stand-alone access point, but then I'm not aware of a lot of things!) - Configurability: Though I have no experience with stand-alone access points, my past experience with things like DSL routers tells me that I'll be able to a lot more, and see a lot more of what's going on, with a FreeBSD-based solution. This includes things like firewalling the segment at the router with both ingress and egress rules, implementing QoS, etc. - Consolidation: The customer wanted a server for things like web proxying with anti-virus filtering, file serving and routing anyway, so I figured I'd bundle it all into one. I did consider the fact that this means that if the server goes down, their LAN's down too, but this would be similar if the server were doing the network's 802.1x work, and they also don't plan on using the LAN extensively - it's more for internet access and the like - Cost: Though we did look at several access points which supported connecting to a backend 802.1x server, these appeared to cost at least twice as much as an appropriate wireless card. I should point out that my wireless knowledge is somewhat limited and am definitely keen on hearing any comments anyone may have. If you are able to sned data through the access point, I would love to hear about it... Certainly am. The setup's fully functional and routing traffic from the LAN to the 'net and vice-versa.

Currently, only cards with the Prism chipset are supported. When he got back to me the next day and said he couldn't find one in any major store and that he'd been told they were no longer available first-hand (whether all this is true or not, I'm not entirely sure - but it's not really all that relevant for the purposes of this question) I was a little surprised.

I've subsequently set the thing up and it's now chugging away merrily in hostap mode with hostapd helping out with 802.11i shennanigans. It appears to be fully operational.

I can't remember exactly why I decided it should be in there (I also have 'gateway_enable=YES'), but it must have been something I read when I first started using FreeBSD back eight or ten years ago. Well, I'll leave it commented out for a while and see if other problems show up. I've been doing a little hunting around to figure out how /etc/rc.d/natd's called in the first place and it seems this is done by the /etc/rc.d/ipfw script, which in turn is run when firewall_enable is set in /etc/rc.conf. /etc/rc.d/natd's not run directly by /etc/rc due to its having the nostart KEYWORD. Is IPFW definitely launched correctly on the system? Otherwise, perhaps it's worthwhile chucking a debug echo or two about the place (for instance, in /etc/rc.d/natd and / or /etc/rc.d/ipfw) and rebooting. Something like this should do the trick, I believe: echo echo echo echo '/etc/rc.d/natd' echo echo echo (without the outer quotes). -- Roger ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards
G'day all, I was recently asked to set up a wireless access point by a mate. Having read section 27.3.3.2 - Building a FreeBSD Access Point (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html;) from the FreeBSD Handbook I duly advised my friend that they'd need to procure one of the Prism cards listed in the wi(4) man page, as, according to the Handbook, In order to set up a wireless access point with FreeBSD, you need to have a compatible wireless card. Currently, only cards with the Prism chipset are supported. When he got back to me the next day and said he couldn't find one in any major store and that he'd been told they were no longer available first-hand (whether all this is true or not, I'm not entirely sure - but it's not really all that relevant for the purposes of this question) I was a little surprised. After much more stuffing about, the ath(4) man page caught my eye and I found the magic sentence: Supported features include 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, IBSS, and host-based access point operation modes. I've subsequently set the thing up and it's now chugging away merrily in hostap mode with hostapd helping out with 802.11i shennanigans. It appears to be fully operational. My question, then, is this: Is the access point I've set up not actually functioning as an access point in the strictest sense of the term? Is the Handbook in need of a little attention in this area? I'll happily create a patch for the doc and submit a PR to have it updated, but just wanted to check before doing so that I'm not just being an idiot (I'm particularly good at that!).

Put simply make installkernel seems install native kernel modules into /boot/kernel/, but kldload seems to want to load them from /boot/modules. From kldload's man page: FILES /boot/kernel directory containing loadable modules. Modules must have an extension of .ko. This having been said, it _does_ look in /boot/modules as well. I'm able to load a module from either directory without specifying the full path and / or extension and without either directory being my current working directory on 6.1-RELEASE. What's the problem you're actually having? What version of FreeBSD are you running? Obviously I can load modules by hand and/or copy the modules into /boot/modules, but surely there's a better way - either by modifying the installkernel behaviour or kldload. I believe that base system kernel modules for the currently installed kernel should be installed to /boot/kernel and that kernel modules from outside FreeBSD (e.g.: nvidia.ko) are installed to /boot/modules.

Found an archived message at http://www.southwestern.edu/ITS/netreg/archive/0464.html; that methinks has the answer: Leases are not added to dhcpd.leases for fixed-address clients. :-( There was a patch for a fairly recent release candidate to log these to a separate file, but I haven't tried it on the latest RC. The dhcpd.leases file is really there so that state can be maintained between incarnations of dhcpd, e.g. shutdown, restart of dhcpd, etc. The server has to keep track of the promises it has already made. Since fixed-address clients always get the same information, and DNS is not updated, it's not really necessary to record these leases. I looked at dhcpd.leases on my (ISC) DHCP server and indeed leases for fixed-address clients were not included. I personally use dynamic DNS with DHCP and have had no dramas with it. Don't know if this is appropriate for your situation, though. Are you sure that leases are being handed out from the first pool? yes. The rest of the 192.168.1.0/24 gets ips and routes as they should. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dvd+rw problems
I'm having some troubles reading and writing DVD+RW discs. I've
installed dvd+rw-tools and followed the instructions in the FreeBSD

write to the disc. The drive can also mount and read CD media just
fine. I've double-checked the permissions in /dev and I'm running

I've got an update to my problem. I can actually read the disc just
fine at securelevel 3, but I need to drop down to securelevel 1 in
order to write to it (/dev/pass0 is a protected device node at
securelevel 2 and 3).
Is there a workaround to this, or will I have to drop into single-user
mode every time I want to write to a DVD?

write to the disc. The drive can also mount and read CD media just
fine. I've double-checked the permissions in /dev and I'm running
everything as root, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Here's some additional info to help in figuring out what my problem
could be:
server# camcontrol devlist

I've got an update to my problem. I can actually read the disc just
fine at securelevel 3, but I need to drop down to securelevel 1 in
order to write to it (/dev/pass0 is a protected device node at
securelevel 2 and 3).
Is there a workaround to this, or will I have to drop into single-user
mode every time I want to write to a DVD?
Hi,
I ran into the same problem years ago. This might help you:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q15
Cheers,
Mikhail.
Looks like that wasn't much help, since the FAQ talks about changing
the permissions on the devices. I've done the instructions and only
/dev/xpt0 was effected since /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0 being protected
by securelevel 2 and above. Even if I start up in securelevel 1,
change the permissions, then go to securelevel 3, I still get the
Operation not permitted error when trying to use growisofs.

Re: Postgresql Autovacuum how?

It could, however, happen because the site you're downloading from is serving a corrupt version. A checksum mismatch basically indicates that the file is not as it should be. You may still be able to use it without any adverse impact, but then again, you may not. It's also possible that someone has intentionally corrupted the file for sinister purposes.

Re: NAT, VPN and other SOHO router advice
Given what you've said, you should set up the FreeBSD machine as a bridge rather than a router. Having now read the manpage for bridge(4) and if_bridge(4), I am not certain that this is going to achieve what I want to achieve. I'm told by the FreeBSD HB that The consensus is that assigning both cards an address is a bad idea. Since I want rl1 to have a public IP block and rl0 to have a private IP, I assume this isn't going to work. So, router it is. Now, for this VPN.

NAT, VPN and other SOHO router advice
Dear all, I'm currently in the process of jiggling around my SOHO router and a FreeBSD box that I'd like to make more of a router. As it stands currently, the setup is something like this (I hope you've reading this in monospace or it's gonna be a like reading a circuit diagram on a rollercoaster) ( ... ) (( Ye bigge badde interweb )) ( ... ) || || ++ | Vigor 2600 | [10.0.0.2] ++ | | +--+ | | ** | | rl1 | +---| S |-... +-+ | W | | F | | I |-... | B | | T |-... The LAN! | S | rl0 | C | [10.0.0.0/24] | D |---| H |-... | | | | | | | |-... +-+ +--+ [10.0.0.1] Now, the more experiencef of you will immediately notice something is wrong ... yes, that's right, the cable marked with the ** shouldn't really be there. In fact, my syslog really wants me to know that something's wrong: Apr 6 19:04:22 phoenix kernel: arp: 10.0.0.2 is on rl0 but got reply from 00:53:7f:74:f4:f3 on rl1 Now, I'm well aware of why that's happening, and I mostly know how to fix it, but I need a little help with a few remaining issues. First, NAT'ing. Currently the Vigor router (10.0.0.2) is the default router for the network, as specified by the FBSD box's DHCP server. If I disconnect the cable I want to disconnect, however, obviously the FBSD box will have to be the router. Now, I've recompiled my kernel with all the relevant options, and I've got an extensive firewall script (ipfw). I've also got the following in my rc.conf: firewall_enable=YES firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules firewall_logging=YES natd_enable=YES natd_interface=rl1 gateway_enable=YES rl1, by the way, has a public IP block on it, and the vigor router has one of these, let's call it xx.yy.zz.201. On the FBSD box (in rc.conf) we have: defaultrouter=xx.yy.zz.201 ifconfig_rl0=inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_rl1=inet xx.yy.zz.202 netmask 255.255.255.248 ifconfig_rl1_alias0=xx.yy.zz.203/29 ... So, really, the question for this bit of the email is .. what else do I need to get my FBSD box acting as a router for the machines on the LAN? .. I assume I'd need an IPFW divert rule to set up all the NATing, but I'm unsure what that should be, and whether it would come before or after all the protective stuff in the firewall script etc etc. -- The second part of the question is perhaps slightly more complex. The Vigor router has set up on it a LAN-to-LAN PPTP VPN (enough acronyms for you?) to an office elsewhere. As it stands currently, machines on the LAN can access (ping/SMB shares) a class C subnet, 192.168.1.0/24 via this VPN connecion on the Vigor router. Also, machines at the other end of the VPN, in the office, can access machines at this end of the VPN, on the LAN (the other class C: 10.0.0.0/24) The question is, what IPFW divert rules and other whizbangery do I need to set up so that I can disconnect that cable marked ** and have all the VPN stuff keep working. If at all possible, I'd rather not move the management of the VPN onto the FBSD box. -- OK. So that's that. I appreciate any and all responses, and if anyone needs any more information I will be happy to provide it ... so long as it's not my root password ... actually, come to think of it, that wouldn't help unless you were sitting next to me, but nevermind...

I'm going to look for a different tool that doesn't pull in all of Java. you've all been a great help. best, -Nick Hello Michael, On 02/02/06 Nikolas Britton said: Is it possible to replace Motif with QT, GTK, etc? Not with the swing bindings, I don't think so. But, there are GTK bindings for Java separately.

Java without Motif/X?
Greetings, Has anyone successfully gotten Java (1.4 or 1.5) running on FreeBSD without Motif/X? I'd like to run a gui-less Java app on my server, and would strongly prefer to not install all of X + Motif, and all its potential security issues, just to get Java running. Thanks in advance, -Nick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Answering machine / voicemail -- email?
Hi all, I'm running a decently fast server with FreeBSD 5.4. I'd like to set up a way that the box can act as a voicemail server, and turn the messages into emails. I see Asterisk as a possible solution, but it seems awfully heavyweight for what I want. Are there any lighter-weight ways to achieve this? If Asterisk is the way to go, what's the cheapest modem card I can buy (for a PCI Express-based Dell SC 420) that can answer the phone, and let the machine receive these calls? It's for use in my home, so it's only 1 analog phone line running into the house right now. thanks, -Nick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
