Changing colors in shells
Lo folks, i would like to change the colors of the shell to FG=green BG=black. I do _not_ ask how to change the promt, i rather want to change the default FG BG colors, so that with whatever program (be it Konsole, putty, ssh.org, ...) i log in via SSH it uses this colors. I am aware of the fact that i can set up these colors in the clients itself, however this is not what i want. Where do i set them up?

You said that other network filesystems are not an option, but then neither FTP or SSH (assuming you meant FTP tunnelled through SSH) are networking filesystems either. The two popular implemtations of network filesystems are NFS (Unix) and SMB (Unix via Samba, Windows). You should take a close look at those since you will get much better performance and security with them than by grafting an FTP directory to your filesystem. If you need this in order to do your job and don't have administrator access to the remote machine(s), then petition your system administrator to look into NFS or SMB. C. Ulrich Of course you are right when you say there are better solutions for network-filesystems, and i use them when i have access to the server config. However most servers i work on are mass-products where your personal need for features is always answered by upgrade your account. This, in turn, arises the need for some other (OS-level) solution. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanx! Hiho! :-) First of all, sorry for answering that late, i forgot about your mail for some time and remembered it just recently. You need both dummynet (the freebsd traffic shaper) and ipfw (firewall) to do this. And i strongly suggest that you do a man ipfw and read through it, else you won't really understand what the firewall rules do :-) If you have not enabled both of them in your kernel, you need to do so. options are: options IPFW2 (might be obsolete in 5.0) options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE (optional) options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100(optional) options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT(optional) options DUMMYNET options HZ=1000 I'd also suggest to do a man ipfw and read through the whole thing, its really worth it. After you've installed the new kernel, you need to create a config file for ipfw which tells it to give high priority to the small ( 64 byte) tcp packets. Mine looks like this: pipe 1 config bw 132kbit/s queue 10kbyte This creates a dummynet pipe which bandwidth is approximately equal to the max. adsl upstream, the queue 10kbyte part tells it to create a 10kbbyte packer-buffer for that pipe (I'v not really figured out yet what the optimal buffer size is, this size works fine for normal traffic but you might run into latency-problems if you play online games). queue 1 config weight 50 pipe 1 add 597 queue 4 ip from me to any src-port 41000-42000,21,20 out This creates a dummynet queue which is linked to a pipe and is used to give certain priority to the traffic sent through the pipe linked to the queue. The priority is given through the weight value command. value can be anything from 1 to 100. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Traffic piped through this queue has a high priority (50), so this is the pipe that will be used for the small tcp-packets Ok, now you need to create a second queue to pipe the normal upstream through (ftp traffic, p2p, whatever other traffic there is :-) ). Naturally, you want to give this traffic a lower priority than the tcp-control-packets. (i gave it priority 1, but i believe higher values up to 10 would also work). queue 2 config weight 1 pipe 1 # ftp traffic out Ok, now comes the tricky part. You've to tell the firewall (ipfw) which kind of packets are to be sent to the queues. add 550 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 46 out add 551 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 47 out add 552 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 48 out add 553 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 49 out add 554 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 50 out add 555 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 51 out add 556 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 52 out add 557 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 53 out add 558 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 54 out add 559 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 55 out add 560 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 56 out add 561 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 57 out add 562 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 58

Re: FreeBSD and DSL CONNECTIVITY ISSUES,

Customers are reporting issues such as; Recently I've noticed that your site operates very slowly. When I am surfing at , the speed gradually decreases until it won't navigate at all anymore. sometimes even breaks my dsl connection somehow and I have to re-start my computer. One one occasion it actually crashed my machine and caused it to re-boot. These issues are not occurring when visiting other websites. Any ideas? Does anyone have any further thoughts on this issue? Any information in the log files? You could enable PPP logging (see ppp manpage if you are actually using it). Did you control the serverload and/or networkload? Tools such as KDE's ksysguard(d) or gkrellm could help you. They are available from the ports. Also, please supply version-info.

So I rebooted and tried again. Sometimes KDE started, sometimes it didn't, and other times it started very slowly. Also not all (KDE) applications could be launched.

I want to play Warcraft 3 behind my fbsd box. That is as a matter of fact possible so that's ok. The only thing i cannot do on Battle.net is hosting a game. So when i create a custom game, people cannot join me :-( I can join custom games, i can play ladder games. So perhaps somebody with a fbsd box playing warcraft 3 behind it using local ip's like: 192.168.1.x What really would help is if you paste your ipf.rules and your ipnat.rules Thx alot!! horcy http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0445p HTH (sorry, no time for longer answer) -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

Re: changing directory listing type
Hi, I'm a new FreeBSD user and using FreBSD 4.6.2. I wonder if it is possible to colour directories in blue or symbolic links to another like linux systems. Now all them are in the same white colour. Is this simple? Thanks... # man ls The solution is ls -F. If you want to bind it permanently, edit your ~/.cshrc and add a line like this: alias ls ls -F You might consider this as more usefull: alias ll ls -alF -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

Re: How to make FreeBSD like NetBIOS names?

Usually you can get along fine without it --- a good thing to do is ensure that the DNS and NetBIOS names of all your windows machines match up. If you use a Windows DHCP/DNS server with dynamic DNS, you may be able to automate that. Otherwise, you're going to have to lash something together with scripts or just manually keep your DNS in line with NetBIOS. In FreeBSD 5.x there will be support for Name Service Switch functionality, which will make it possible for someone to write an add-on to allow name resolution via NetBIOS. However, that doesn't help here and now. Please tell me more, i use FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. Has this made the way into the handbook yet?

Re: Find abandoned packages
In the last episode (Nov 21), Pascal Giannakakis said: If you check out /var/db/pkg it lists what ports are installed essentially. I don't know how to tell whether or not it?s a dependency though, so maybe someone else can answer that. I'd like to know that too come to think of it. pkg_info or pkg_version - would be quite the same in this situation. What i need is an intelligent programm that finds old stuff, and best even offers a yes / no dialog to uninstall it. Lots of packages don't have dependencies because they are standalone programs, like netcat. You probably don't want to prompt to deinstall those. Yes, that is what i want. On my system there aren't a lot of packages, and usually i know which i installed. The solution to my original problem is very easy - i found it by accident, when i was reading docs out of boredom and curiosity! :) pkg_deinstall -rn *portname* -r will show all packages that require *portname* to be installed -n will prevent pkg_deinstall from actually performing the actions It may also be run with -Rn instead of -rn to find what packages *portname* needs to run. Yet this does not show a list, i still need to pick the port manually out of the pkg_version or pkg_info list. Though better than nothing. What you really need is a flag somewhere in the package list saying I was force-installed because of a dependency, so you can look for packages with this flag but no dependant packages. Unfortunately, this flag doesn't exist :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Upgrading FreeBSD
I'm learning how the FreeBSD upgrade process works. I've got cvsup working and can grabe 4-stable. What I don't understand is the ports tree. Does it get updated when I do make buildworld etc...? Nope. Look for a file ports-supfile on your system. You can make a copy e.g. to /root and then run it with # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui # cvsup ports-supfile Be sure to install the Port portupgrade and read it's manpage. It is a great tool! # pkg_add -r portupgrade With portupgrade you can even upgrade all ports at once: # portupgrade -rRPv \* Have fun! P.S.: Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD handbook.

Re: Upgrading Computer
I just aquired a pent 300 and was currently using a pent 200. But I used a GENERIC kernel that came with the FreeBSD because I never new how to modify it at the time. Because I never changed the Kernel can't I just switch the hardrives and network cards? From reading the boot up process I don't think there should be any problems. You might need to edit the /etc/fstab. This will most likely happen when changing the IDE channel. What ever you do, FFS do a backup at least of /etc and have the Fixit-CD by hand!

Uh-oh... fsck can't repair my files-partition!

Re: Uh-oh... fsck can't repair my files-partition!
Howabout answering these questions with 'yes' instead of 'no'? That always works for me. In fact, I have a hard drive on it's last legs, the other day it apparently crashed, I hard-reset the computer, ran fsck -y on that disk and finally after running this about 8 times it finally was marked clean. LOL There is no prompt to type y or n, and it is the same with fsck -y. Sorry for not mentioning this.

LOL There is no prompt to type y or n, and it is the same with fsck -y. Sorry for not mentioning this. Meanwhile i got the tip to try... Dismount the volume before running fsck. The (NO WRITE) message means that the filesystem was in use or otherwise read-only. YES :D Thank you guys, that's been the reason - needed to umount first.

Bluetooth (BlueZ) or WLAN in FreeBSD
Lo ppl, i'd like to link a WinME PC to my FreeBSD via Bluetooth or WLAN, depending on what works and / or is cheaper. The (air-line) distance is around 10 meters through 2 walls. What would you recommend for this scenario (e.g., what drivers will work fine with FreeBSD)? - 2 WLAN devices - Internal PCI card - external USB box Or - 2 bluetooth USB dongles While i'm sure i will find a way to make windows use ip over bluetooth, i wonder if FreeBSD in the latest release will make it. I found this project: http://bluez.sourceforge.net The FreeBSD mailing archives lead me to this link, but on this site it talks of Linux only, and i cannot compile it on FreeBSD =( The bluetooth solution seems smarter to me, and i'd love to see it work on my fav OS, as i can plug it out and carry it around in my pocket, use it with cellular phones, notebooks, other computers etc, so i would try this if bluetooth is supported at least in a basic manner.

[SSH] Session Problem w/ 2 FreeBSDs
Lo ppl, i've set up a FreeBSD server in the Intranet, so that we (my team and i) can use it for testing purposes and hacking. My colleagues use W2K and can connect to the server via their SSH immedeatly, but when i try to connect to it (i'm using FreeBSD as my workstation-OS), it hangs a while until it prompts me for the password. Curious about what the reason might be, i startet the SSH-server in debug mode (sshd -ddd), and got that line right before the hang: debug3: Trying to reverse map address 210.104.1.133. That IP is my WS'. After a minute (i think), i receive the password-prompt at my client, and the server tells me: Could not reverse map address 210.104.1.133. debug1: PAM setting rhost address to 210.104.1.133. debug3: Attempting authentication for pg. Once i'm in, i can type and see the commands right away. Whats the reason for this lag? Maybe some sort of resolve name of host issue? Any hints appreciated.

So, either set up a reverse lookup for your host, or turn off VerifyReverseMapping. I changed it, but it seems that the sshd on the server ignores this directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. BTW: I didn't mix it up with ssh_config. What now?
