RE: How to use Bochs?
I have installed Bochs successfully from ports. At first, I planned to install Windows in Bochs, but soon I found that Bochs needed to be configured before functioning properly. How to configure? I have no idea. I visited the homepage of Bochs just now, but with no gains. I strongly suggest you to give qemu a try. It installs from ports including a bios and I already successfully booted e.g. the netbsd installation cd from in it under FreeBSD5.4.

RE: RTCoreBSD
Hi, I found this real-time OS based on BSD: http://www.sdcsystems.com/realtime-linux.htm#rtcorebsd I m wondering what technology they used to make FreeBSD as a real-time OS. I thought kqueue/kevent is a key component? any comment? Thanks Sam I think it's just that *old* rtlinux concept of having a hard real time kernel and running the operating system as some kind of an idle task above that. As far as I remember FSMLabs earlier press information talked about using NetBSD for that.

As far as I remember FSMLabs earlier press information talked about using NetBSD for that. Does current version of FreeBSD uses real-time scheduler at the kernel? If it does, which part of the code (in /usr/src) contains those code? Depends on what you mean. FreeBSD is no rtos, but has rtprio(1). It allows to have fixed process priorities in contrast to the usual 'varying' unix priorites. But it is still possible for a high priority process to be blocked by a lower priority process entering a system call for a non-deterministic amount of time. This is at least so for 4.X, but may be less true for 6.X whith the kernel becoming more and more preemptable.

RE: make clean install
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3/ make clean install It took a long time to fetch and install some files so I had to interrupt the transfer coz I had to go home already When issue the following cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3/ make clean install Will it resume to the part where I interrupted or will it start the whole thing over again? Or do you have some suggestions to resume it You should issue 'make install clean' if you want to resume where you interrupted.

Hello, I've got a printserver that has an hp deskjet printer attached via parallel port.

RE: antivir-milter question
I've read the docs on antivir-milter, installed it, set it up to verify downloaded updates with gpg, tested it to see if it's checking mail with eicar, everything's working fine. Only thing is, I'd like it to show in my messages that they've been checked for viruses I can't seem to get it do that. I know that the AddXHeader setting only works in commercial version, but it says if you set the ModifySubject to YES that it'll show up, as I understand it, appended to the subject. I did that restarted it but still no notice. Any ideas/help appreciated. Denny White Just an idea: run antivir through amavis-milter, as amavis is possibly a bit more configurable.

RE: Dead disk? READ_DMA Failure

This night and since then, I get these errors: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=48926527 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=48926527 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out or ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=50299455 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=40UNCORRECTABLE LBA=50299455 The LBA number varies, but otherwise it is consistent. Eventually the device is removed from /dev and no disk is accessible, although mount shows mounted devices. I have booted in single user mode and run fsck manually multiple times to correct all found errors, most errors are on /, /usr and some on /var, yet the problem reappears. I have tried to reinstall, toggling newfs to recreate /, /usr and /var hoping that any bad blocks or sectors would be removed or marked unusable. But the problem remains. Is there a way I can reformat or fix the disk so that broken areas will not be used again? Please, how far from the grave are my data? Any suggestion on which new drive to choose? I have looked at Western Digital Scorpio WD600VE 60 GB. Given the mentioned error, does this indicate an error that would be covered by standard guarantee? after all the disk is just one year old... The system: FreeBSD 5.4, Epia Mini-ITX CL1000, 256MB RAM, 60 GB HDD. Hello, I've seen these error messages too. And also WRITE_DMA TIMEOUT! You may have a hardware problem, but I'm not convinced. I had these messages on _new_ computers from time to time. After updating from 5.2 to 5.3, 5.4 it seems to have gone for me. But that's obviously not the case for you. I've read on a list to try to disable acpi, but that does not help. A collegue of mine sees this even with his dvd! I've had it with a plain ata drive (maxtor) using udma100 and with a promise ata raid controller (wd drives) at udma66. All _new_ hardware! I can't tell you if it is some 5.X specific problem.

RE: sysctl deadmantimer
In the BSD/OS there is a kernel countdown counter that can be used to reboot the machine in case of lock. It´s called deadmantimer.

RE: FreeBSD 6
As far as -O2 as the default for the kernel... I thought it was more important to have a small kernel then a faster but fatter one. The smaller the kernel the more you can put in L1,2, and 3 cache and the smaller the program the less it needs to hit ram, swap, and hard disk? Just my opinion.

RE: Samba without Cups ?
So for samba, you just need to make with WITHOUT_CUPS=1 and samba 3 with WITH_CUPS=0, either on the make line or through pkgtools.conf (portupgrade). I think that's not quite correct. For samba 3 you should just 'make'. WITH_CUPS=0 defines the symbol, and that's what is checked for in the Makefile, not the value.

RE: Strange securelevel
Hi, after playing a bit with securelevel i found a very strange one (well, i thought there will be just -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3). But look at this: #sysctl kern.securelevel kern.securelevel: 2147483647 Thats the highest securelevel i found on my FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. So, whatr does it mean? Getting electro shocks when touching the mouse and/or keyboard? And, the man page ha to be rewritten, to explain the rest of the 2147483644 securelevel. No, serious, is this a bug, or what? Well, that's 0x7FFF. That means a little less than 2^31 securelevels to document. And I'm expecting this to be about 2^63 for 64 bit systems ;-) Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand sysctl_kern_securelvl() in kern_mib.c, it does not disallow setting the securelevel so high. It only disallows to lower it. Norbert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: /etc/exports - a strange restriction
I'd like to share some directories hierarchy under /usr file system, but I don't want to share all /usr at all. On these lines in /etc/exports: /usr/tinderbox -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 localhost i get an error message: mountd[347]: -alldirs requested but /usr/tinderbox is not a filesystem mountpoint Why so strict restriction?

If you only want to export a single directory, you could e.g. use mount_null/mount_nullfs(8). Well, in my example remote host is localhost. But if I need to share files on a network? I think I don't understand your problem here: /usr -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.0.0 for an export into the local network 192.168.0.0/16. /usr -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 192.168.1.2 for an export to a specific host. I've made a quick look at RFC1813 but could not find this restriction. But why this restriction anyway for? It's very unconvenient. I am no nfs expert. May be it is not a specification restriction but an implementation restriction. But all references I found about /etc/exports always speak about exporting a file system, not a directory. And that seems to be so for other operating systems too. So if I understand you right, this may work (for FreeBSD 5.x): # mkdir /tinderbox # mount_nullfs /usr/tinderbox /tinderbox # echo '/tinderbox -ro -alldirs -maproot=0:0 any_local_or_remote_host' /etc/exports An other way to export /usr/tinderbox and all sub-directories is to specify _all_ of them in /etc/exports but w/o the -alldirs switch, e.g.: /usr/tinderbox /usr/tinderbox/dirA /usr/tinderbox/dirB -ro -maproot=0:0 any_host See also the FreeBSD handbook chapter about nfs.

RE: suicidally ambitious compilation?
I'm thinking of setting up a jail specifically to try and compile an OpenBSD release on FreeBSD. No 'cross compiling' will be involved (same target hardware architecture). Has anybody here ever tried, or heard of anybody trying this? I don't expect the journey to be without large potholes... That won't work. A jail is not something like vmware. It's just a FreeBSD inside a FreeBSD. I used emulators/qemu to install NetBSD into an image file from the installation cd. That worked for me as long as I did not try to start X inside qemu. So I think that OpenBSD will work too. (Interestingly the Knoppix live-cd runs emulated even in graphics mode!)

What I'm actually trying to do is compile a minimal OpenBSD snapshot so that I can distribute binaries to my very slow firewall machine (which also lacks a compiler, for security reasons). The jail is purely there because the OpenBSD compilation process seems to make the assumption that it's working in /usr/src so I thought it would be a good idea to partition the process off from the rest of the system. Although I think it is possible, to build OpenBSD under FreeBSD, I wouldn't try it. The problem is to correctly re-create the _complete_ OpenBSD build environment. That means compiler, linker, make, and other tools that may be used for building. For the compiler, that means to build a cross compiler. The cpu may be the same, but gcc is always configured for a combination of operating system/target cpu/binary format. And you have to find out what gcc version OpenBSD is usually been built with. Other tools may differ in behaviour or command line options. For example, may be FreeBSD is using a gnu tool while OpenBSD is using a non-gnu tool. What about e.g. make? There is make and gmake under FreeBSD. So again I suggest you try the qemu solution (or buy an additional computer ;-).

RE: Auto Reboot on Panic?
I would like the box to dump core and reboot on a panic. I think I have set the box up to do this, but on the last panic it didn't reboot. I followed the information at http://www.bsdatwork.com/2002/03/29/system_panics_part_1/, and I have compiled a kernel with makeoptions DEBUG=-g, options KDB, options KDB_UNATTENDED. /etc/rc.conf has these lines: dumpdev=/dev/ad6s1b, dumpdir=/usr/local/var/crash. The box has 768M of RAM, ad6s1b has at least that much space, and is configured as swap. Can anybody tell me what I have forgotten to do to make the box reboot on a panic? Many thanks in advance, Warren Hello. From my understanding of the kernel options: options PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=xx # seconds before reboot options KDB_UNATTENDED # only required if compiled with kernel debugger # options RESTARTABLE_PANICS # should not be set May be, you should also set kern.shutdown.kproc_shutdown_wait in sysctl.conf to some reasonable time.

RE: `Content-Transfer-Encoding' SendMail
I have SendMail configured with the Smart_Host directive: define(~SMART_HOST'. `my.isp.com') since they are blocking out bound port 25. This works well. The problem I am experiencing is that all mail sent this way has the following in the email header: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I do not want to use that encoding specifically at all times. Even when set within my mail program for something else, such as 8-bit, it is still converted to the above format. What can I do to prevent this from happening? From my naive understanding of the smtp protocol I think that your sendmail and your provider's sendmail|qmail|postfix ask each other about supported encodings. When I telnet to my mail provider's port 25 and manually submit an EHLO I see a list of 250 responses. One shows me '250 8bitmime'. So I'd suggest you test this with your provider.

RE: Three questions...
Q1: I have two drives, laid out as follows: Drive 1 /ad0a WinXP, NTFS, 16.06GB, primary /ad0e data, NTFS, 12.58GB, extended Drive 2 /ad1a currently empty, 14.36GB, primary (installation target) /ad1e /ad0 backup, NTFS, 14.27GB, extended I'd like to use XP's NTLDR to manage the dual boot process. I've seen the following trick for Linux ( www.redhat.com/advice/tips/dualboot.html): - Boot into Linux, copy the first sector of the boot partition as follows: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 - Move bootsect.lnx to WinXP root (C:\), and add the following line to boot.ini: C:\bootsect.lnx=Linux Does this approach work with FreeBSD? Logic says it should, given the similarities, but when has logic applied consistently to computers? As I understand, you try to install from the second hard disk. When I last tried this (using FreeBSD 4) it did not work such way, because I found that in FreeBSD's boot sector code the drive number is hard-coded. So you would have to go to the source directory, change the drive number, assemble the boot sector and put it to drive C. This worked for me.

RE: Can't access to gmail (maybe a port problem with ipfw)
Hi everybody. I'm trying to access gmail from my FreeBSD box (5.4). I'm usinf IPFW. The question is I can acces if I set ipfw to accept all from any to any, so I know there's a port that should be opened to access the main page of gmail. When the firewall is up (allowing only traffic through ports 21, 80 and above 1024) I can't even acces gmail main page (mozilla simply ignores the address I give it) Post your firewall configuration. You should at least have a rule to allow any tcp from your box to the world. Here is an fragment from my home computer's firewall rules: ... pass tcp from any to any established # allow established tcp connections pass ip from any to any frag # allow fragmented segments pass tcp from me to any setup # allow me to setup tcp connections pass udp from me to any keep-state# allow me to setup udp-connections ...

Our other samba shares all have softupdates enabled and do fine, and speed is becoming somewhat of an issue. No there's no risk of data loss. Yes, there is! Softupdates guarantees a consistent state of meta data. But there is a chance of losing a lot of recent file data changes. An other problem is, that Softupdates cannot know how much data is still in the hard disk's cache and not yet written back.

pxe boot failure
Hello,
I'm trying to get pxeboot running without any success so far.
I get 'BTX halted' after a register dump showing an int 6.
I read almost anything, I could find about that problem.
I tried with/without LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT, I uncommented
those delay() lines in pxe.c and enlarged the delays.
I even doubled some of the internal buffers.
The crash is always at different locations. The last
message usually is pxe_open: gateway ip: 10.47.11.1.
Tcpdump shows no problems.
So am I just having a buggy boot prom?
My board has an intel 82559er chip and I was told
by the board's manufacturer, that linux pxeboot
does work fine, which not really helps. They have no
newer bios update and know nothing about pxe problems.
My environment is FreeBSD 4.11 with latest ISC dhcpd.
Here are my settings:
/usr/local/dhcpd.conf:
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
log-facility local7;
subnet 10.47.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 10.47.11.10 10.47.11.99;
option routers 10.47.11.1;
filename pxeboot;
next-server 10.47.11.1;
option root-path 10.47.11.1:/usr/local/diskless_root;
}
/etc/inetd.conf (for LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=yes):
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s
/usr/local/diskless_root
/etc/exports:
/usr -ro -maproot=0 -alldirs -network 10.47.11.00 -mask 255.255.255.0
BTW, booting via etherboot disk works. I just have to replace pxeboot with
kernel
in dhcpd.conf.
Any hints?
Thank you,
Norbert

uplcom a callin only device?
Hello. I'm trying to get a sub-to-rs232 adaptor running with FreeBSD-5. The vendor of this adaptor is some chinese company named High-Edge Tech, but as usbdevs shows, it identifies as USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC(0x067b) and USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303(0x2303). For testing, I connect the adaptor with the same computer's cuaa0 and do an 'stty speed 9600 clocal' on /dev/ucom0 and /dev/cuaia0. Now, if I do 'cat /dev/ucom0' and 'cat /dev/cuaa0', I see typed characters coming in. If I try the opposite direction, nothing happens. Is that something, I should've expected, and if so, why? Does it have to do with the difference of callin and callout devices? Can I use /dev/ucom0 only as callin device like /dev/ttyd0?

RE: uplcom a callin only device?
5.4 has the new uplcom driver which checks the revision maybe you can apply the cvs version to your 5.3 (guess). -Harry I tested this with RELENG_5 as of last week. The device seems to be correctly recognized. I see /dev/ucom0 appearing, when I connect the adaptor.

Well, shell lines may be quite long ;-) Do you mean something like this sed -Ee 's/search/replace/g' -i .BAK `find . -name '*.c' -type f` A few years ago, I'm sure I came across a one-line way of replacing every occurence of one string with another in an entire directory of files (potentially including all subdirectories as well). I think it used sed or awk. Now I can't find it.

pxe boot: BTX halted
Hello, I am desperately trying to get pxe boot running. The client machine is a PentiumMMX/166MHz which successfully boots FreeBSD from hard disk. It is connected to the server machine's second ethernet card xl0 (3com). I can boot the client with etherboot from a floppy withoudt problems, but usually have no floppy connected to the machine. When I run ethereal on the server machine I see successful dhcp and tftp requests. No obvious problems. The client machine comes up with Intel UNDI PXE-2.0 (build 074). PXEBOOT usually crashes with int 6 or int d. CS:EIP points to nothing: ff ff ff ff ... The final message is: 'BTX halted'. Any idea?

fdisk/bsdlabel: cannot write to disk
Hello. I am rather new to FBSD5.3. I did a custom install leaving some room on my (ata) hard disks. Later I decided to create a separate /usr/obj partition. I started /stand/sysinstall and tried to create a new slice and a new partition in it. Sysinstall reported that it cannot write to the hard disk. Next I only tried to create a new partition inside an existing slice. The same again. I tried the same manually with fdisk/bsdlabel and the same happens. I tried it in single user mode and even booted FREESBIE. Always the same problem. I must be doing something simple very wrong. But what? What f*cking manual did I not read? Is there some secret geom rdonly switch I have to turn off?

HTTP, FIN_WAIT_1 and ppp hangup delay
Hello. For connecting to internet I am using PPP via ISDN. One of my FreeBSD (4.10) boxes uses kernel sppp, the other one is configured with userland ppp. My isp charges the connection time in seconds resolution so I configured a very short hangup delay of 25 seconds after inactivity. This works fine for udp connections and also for smtp/pop/nntp, but not for http. After closing a web browser (I use konqueror or opera) netstat -nf inet shows a lot of active or closing connections. So I reduced all net.inet.tcp.* times I could find to not more than 15 seconds. This helped, but still from time to time I see a connection slowly dying in FIN_WAIT_1 state. That means, ppp disconnects and immediately dials again, disconnects again after 25 seconds without any traffic and dials again and so on... for about 3 minutes. I read through the tcp codebut, well, can't say, I really look through it. May be, there is still a hard-coded timeout, I could manipulate through an additional sysctl? I am rather sure that it is a problem of the tcp protocol (or its misuse), and not an isdn or ppp problem. (BTW, the windows software Fritz!ISDN, shipped with the AVM isdn card, does quite a good job with short hangup delays, but I don't know how) Any ideas? May be there is a way to RST a tcp connection in the ppp-down script? Or perhaps some stateful ipfw rule?

using two keyboards at the same time
Hello.
I know, the syscons driver does not allow to have
two keyboards attached at the same time.
So my idea was to have a userland application
which polls the keyboard(s) currently _not_
attached to syscons using select(2) or poll(2).
From reading the source code under /sys/dev/kbd
I thought this should work.
I made this simple test: I attached syscons to
/dev/kbd1 and ran cat /dev/kbd0.
As expected I saw characters
coming from both keyboards.
Then I wrote a program to do the selecting and switching.
Well, it does not work. Select never returns.
Does anyone have an idea?
May be I just made some stupid mistake.
Thank you.

Use portupgrade to upgrade your ports. I've done a 'portupgrade -frR firebird' which leads to the same result. Should I use other options?

Re: adduser
Cliff Sarginson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I tried the simple act of adding a user to my system. It failed, repeatingly asking me for a user name I had already given. You should not have to have the brain of Einstein in order to put a new user on your system. You misunderstood the first part of adduser which is the configuration part (done once). Here's a sample session from my machine: # adduser ,[ configuration part ] | /etc/adduser.conf: No such file or directory | Use option ``-silent'' if you don't want to see all warnings and questions. | | Check /etc/shells | Check /etc/master.passwd | Check /etc/group | Usernames must match regular expression: | [^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]: | Enter your default shell: bash csh date no sh tcsh zsh [sh]: bash | Your default shell is: bash - /usr/local/bin/bash | Enter your default HOME partition: [/home]: /usr/users | Copy dotfiles from: /usr/share/skel no [/usr/share/skel]: | Send message from file: /etc/adduser.message no | [/etc/adduser.message]: | Use passwords (y/n) [y]: | | Write your configuration to /etc/adduser.conf?

Re: interactive fdisk
Murat Bicer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi! Is there a linux fdisk like utility on freebsd that can be used interactively? What is /stand/sysinstall configure fdisk calling? From my understanding of the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html I'd say it's calling a series of commands like those below. , | 12.3.2 Using Command Line Utilities | | 12.3.2.1 Using Slices | | This setup will allow your disk to work correctly with other operating | systems that might be installed on your computer and will not confuse other | operating systems' fdisk utilities.

Re: how do I add this route without rebooting ?
Josh Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [...] route_route3=10.20.30.1 198.78.1.1 So i have added another alias, and another route. Now, here's the question - in the past when I have done this, I have just rebooted the machine and let these settings in rc.conf do everything. This time, however I cannot reboot - I need to stay up and running. So, I add the new IP with: ifconfig fxp1 alias 10.20.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 but what is the command to do what I have listed above for rc.conf for adding the third static route ? route(8) comes to mind, maybe route add 10.20.30.2 198.78.1.1 norbert.

Re: Cron script problem....
Jack L. Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi! Eric: I'm no script expert, but perhaps if you added the full path to perl in the cron line. That's usually a problem Shouldn't be the case here, because then, the script wouldn't start at all, but as Eric has pointed out it runs up to the first SSH call. Eric, it might be a good idea to call ssh with the -v switch and capture the output of the command. Maybe it sheds some light into your problem. Do you use the same user for interactive and cronjob operation? norbert. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Eric Six [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That's the last line of the log.. nothing else is run. SCP should be invoked from there... Hmm, everything looks fine. You don't need a return value, so you could try and issue the command as system($SSH, @args) and examine the return code. But this is short of a wild goose chase :-/ norbert.
