Is there any way to make a noise through the built in bell speaker found on an IBM PC compatible server box? Writing 007 to the BIOS cout routine might do it, but I've realised I haven't got a clue how to do that. I could easily knock up a bit of hardware to go on a serial port (or similar) that could be triggered to make a noise, but these things have already got the hardware built in and I'm looking to use what I've already got.

I use 9.0 amd64. I've just dusted off the old P4 and installed a clean version of 8.2, updated the ports tree and started compiling everything, I'll see if I can get the same issue tomorrow. I'll assume you have your ports tree up to date and are building the latest version. Have you had an earlier version of blender running? The only reference to libirml I can find is as part of Intels compiler package and it doesn't appear to be a part that the freebsd ports version of icc installs. One guess is that you may be using icc or have in the past leaving a dependency that was built with icc. While libirml seems to have some relation to tbb I don't see any reference within devel/tbb. graphics/openimageio brings in the dependency for tbb so you could try turning off the CYCLES option in blender to turn off that dependency. libirml may also be related to openmp so try turning off OPENMP as well. Maybe try turning off some other options to help pinpoint where it comes from. CAMERATRACK CARVE CYCLES OCEANSIM are the newest additions.

Re: Securituy - logging of user commands
Have you ever considered the audit function of FreeBSD? Peter Boosten On 25 jul. 2012, at 13:47, Damien Fleuriot m...@my.gd wrote: Hello list, We're currently working towards the PCI DSS certification (Payment Card Industry) for a project at work. One of the prerequisites is that all user commands be logged. We're currently using a very bad hack that takes the last command from a user's history and sends it to a log server. This of course is unreliable as a user may entirely disable their history, or just use another shell to bypass the csh function or whatever. My colleagues installed Snoopy on debian and it seems to work wonders as a module which is LD preloaded. I notice it also exists on FreeBSD as /usr/ports/security/snoopy . However I face several problems with it, mainly it doesn't seem to log anything. As per the README, I have added /usr/local/lib/snoopy.so to /etc/ld.so.preload I'm not even sure this file is used on BSD ? As per the man page for ld.so there's no such file: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ld.so Neither libmap.conf nor ldconfig(8) seem to be the answer either. I've googled for ld.so.conf and found the following 2 posts which seem to indicate it isn't used either: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2003-June/001746.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2003-June/001747.html The posts mention -current but date back from 2003. Lastly, I have also noticed that the port installs /usr/local/bin/detect which I executed and would always reply something's fishy. By looking at the (very short) source I noticed the program merely loads /lib/libc.so.6 , and it wouldn't find it on my system (8.3-STABLE with /lib/libc.so.7). Adjusting and recompiling lets the program correctly print secure but it does nothing else. I have checked that the output /usr/local/lib/snoopy.so module is linked against libc.so.7 , and it is. Has anyone ever got Snoopy to work on BSD ? Might I need to install linux emulation ?

So you can have as many jails running Apache on port 80 as you like, because they only will bind to the IP address belonging to the jail. The only 'challenge' will be configuring Apache on the host itself to only listen to one IP address, instead of *, which is piece of cake.

Observations during upgrade 7.2 - 8.0
Hi all, I recently upgraded several machines from 7.2 to 8.0 and I made a few observations: Two machines run on an ESX vmware server, and while interfaces started counting at 0 (ie le0, le1, etc), now these interfaces start at 1 (le0 - le1, le1 - le2). Is there any reason for 8.0 doing this, since it messed up a lot of things? During the upgrade of all the packages using portupgrade, the pkgdb.db got corrupted while upgrading ruby18-bdb, and interrupted the upgrade of all packages (using portupgrade -af). I've checked this by upgrading the port itself. Is this normal, and can it be prevented, like excluding it from portugrade -fa?

Re: Help with ezjail-admin create command
On 14 jul 2010, at 21:49, Ed Flecko wrote: Hi folks, I've found a website ( http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppserverJailsHOWTO ) with a tutorial that steps me through most if what I'm trying to set-up; I'm trying to use ezjail to set up the latest version of Apache with my website. I've carefully followed the steps, and the only step that I've found that seems to be wrong is the author's reference to default which doesn't seem to exist; it's actually example so I've changed my commands accordingly. I'm confused about the ezjail-admin create command. When I installed FreeBSD, I set up a partition called www, because I thought it might be easier for me to backup all of my web sites, etc., and it's easier for me to remember where I installed Apache. I've modified my ezjail.conf file and the ezjail_jaildir line to read: ezjail_jaildir=/www/jails When I issue this command: ezjail-admin create -f example apache 192.168.225.128 I get this error: find: /www/jails/apache/pkg/: no such file or directory Note: Shell scripts for flavour example installed, flavourizing on jails first startup. I think you're better off creating a fresh jail, and install apache via the ports collection. for the templates to work you need to specify all dependencies by hand. It also throws an error about some services already seem to be listening on IP 192.168.225.128 1.) What did I screw up? This isn't normal, is it? This is a normal thing. By default services on FreeBSD listen on all interfaces, and since jails use an alias on an existing interface, it'll listen on that as well. You will need to change the configurations of the services on the host for at least all services you will run on the jail as well (so if your host runs apache, you'll need to reconfigure apache to listen only on one IP address, or have apache in the jail listen on another port than 80). Same goes for sshd and other services. 2.) When using the ezjail-admin create command, the IP address that I'm passing is supposed to be the IP address of the HOST machine (because it has the basejail, right?), isn't it? No, the IP address the jail will have (but you have to create an alias on the host to that IP address) 3.) When I type: find / -name apache I get: /usr/local/etc/ezjail/apache and /www/jails/apache Does the ezjail program create TWO instances of what will be my jailed Apache? Why does it do that? Did I goof something else up, or is that normal? Those are probably symlinks...

Are you suggesting NOT using ezjail? No, that's not what I'm suggesting. from the start: first thing is to create the base: (one time) ezjail-admin update -P -i After reconfiguring the services on the host machine (one time), you can add an alias to your existing ip address (see ifconfig how to to that) then create a jail: ezjail-admin create hostname ipaddress assuming your ezjail.conf is oke. replace hostname with a name you want to identify the jail with, and the ipaddress should be replaced by the alias ip address in the previous step. You will then have a good jail. You can start this jail with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail.sh onestart (or start, if you edited /etc/rc.conf) and access the running jail with: ezjail-admin console hostname after that you go to the ports collection and install apache, including all its dependencies (which are a lot) cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 make all install clean jsut like you would do on a non-jailed machine. Or do you mean just install Apache into a jail (created by ezjail) and don't worry about creating a template like this website shows? How would I do that? I'm new to the whole jail thing so it's a little confusing. I like the idea of using the ezjail, because is seems more idiot proof for a relative newbie. ezjail is good. :-) Also, what do you mean for the templates to work you need to specify all dependencies by hand? I'm not stuck on following this website, but IF the steps are fairly accurate, it seems to be a good roadmap and it doesn't mention anything about specifying any dependencies by hand. That's what I read from the creators website: The default flavour demonstrates how to pkg_add some prefetched packages.

It sure sounds like an easier way to go and less goof-proof, but as we all know, easier is not always better! It depends on how you're using it. If all you intend on having is a single jail with apache running in it, then it may be easier to use it standard method. Remember that ezjail is just a wrapper around FreeBSD jails, a management utility if you will. You can have both ezjail jails and traditional jails running concurrently. You can experiment with both to find out which method you like. I find ezjail more convenient in situation where there are multiples jails running on a system. I imagine if you have found a use for one jail, it won't be long until you find need for another. One of the main advantages of ezjail is that it out of the box saves disk space for more than one jail, because of the shared nullfs mounts. That can be done by hand as well (the handbook shows how), but ezjail already invented the wheel.

As I understand so far, this should be a simple matter of creating the vlans on the switch, assigning ports to their respective vlan in 'untagged' mode, and then assigning the port BSD connects to, as a 'tagged' member of both VLAN's? Then I'd create an IP alias on the internal FreeBSD NIC, so that it can talk to both networks over the same wire? Is this right? Not entirely: the trunk (between switch and FreeBSD) will have the two different vlan tag id's, and you cannot differentiate between the two by doing 'normal' IP aliasing (yet done with ifconfig). The physical interface won't get an IP address at all, but the two virtual vlan interfaces will. You can/must keep the two networks apart with a firewall (pf for instance).

Usual thing LDAP is used in conjunction with email is for authentication: when you want to read or send email, you have to authenticate and this is done against the LDAP server. But this authentication is never done by your email client, rather by your POP, IMAP and SMTP servers, so it should really not matter your are traveling or not.

The system manager can specify the min required length. I think this is a really nice utility, and VMS systems are very rarely compromised, though perhaps VMS users are better trained in password safe keeping. Password guessing will crack these in a jiffy. Hardly secure I would say...

I would like to be able to run xorg and a simple desktop on the headless FreeBSD NAS and be able to interact with it from my Vista machine. What are the steps I need to take for this? Obviously I need to build xorg and some sort of a wm (probably gnome2-lite) on the FreeBSD machine and install an xserver on the Vista machine, but then what? Any pointers to guides and such are welcome. You do not need a wm on the FreeBSD machine, since your Vista machine already is (with the right software of course, like Xming). If you want to tunnel your X traffic through ssh, then you'll need a ssh client on Vista as well. Putty will suffice. I think that's it: start Xming, ssh into your FreeBSD, your DISPLAY environment will be set to localhost:10.0 (that's the default offset). and fire some X client (say xterm) and it will show on your Vista.

I agree with the comments made that sometimes your writings are quite interesting (about the 32 vs 64 bit architectures for instance). All of the below is valid for this mailing list (thanks to Roger ;) ). I too consider forum not very good, and i opted to create fully-moderated version that will strictly be moderated to keep topics only related to: - FreeBSD base system - ports as subsystem but not ported programs, as these programs have their own forums. This will solve all problems from both point of views. For example it would eliminate advertise/sponsoring offer and my response to this. and millions other problems. Of course unmoderated mailing list should be left as is. I swear i will not use it that case, cause it will not make any use of it for me. And ALL will be happy. Back to FreeBSD, i use it because it's (for me) best unix system available in the world, closest to what unix should be. And i do need unix system. Until here... Forum quality is secondary thing.

The entire machine is only performing at 10% of its capacity, in your statement above. Load = burden. Under heavy _load_ the _machine_ will become sluggish, but the CPU will still be performing at the same megahertz speed. You cannot put the CPU under load (=burden), since it was designed to perform at 100% (actually it can be, if the queue length gets too large, and then it's called load, but that's not being done in top). The fact that the CPU has to wait for some I/O will not influence the performance of the CPU, but to the entire machine. CPU load == CPU utilization == how big percentage of time CPU (or CPUs by average) are doing anything except being in idle loop or hlt/ waiting for interrupt. it's exactly the same words in that context. load average is how much processes (by average) is not doing calculations because something is not yet available and depends of computer resources(*) - like CPU time, disk I/O results etc.. Actually, it's a combination of both running and waiting processes. (*) - for example waiting on tty read is not calculated to load average as it's depends on human not computer.

When I start my freebsd system I can see this: WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted...! WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted...! and I have no idea about it. Could you give me an explain to understand the situation and fix the problem? thanx! thanos. How did you stop the last time? This happens when FreeBSD (or any other un*x) wasn't able to shutdown properly.

Re: Backup to spare drive (rsync / crontab)
drc...@yahoo.com wrote: I am using rsync and crontab to perform scheduled backups on FreeBSD AMD64 Rel. 7.0 I am following process described here for rsync : http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html I have a backup script's created for daily, weekly, monthly. This is one example - the daily (/backup is a seperate physical drive) : #daily backup script rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Access/ /backup/daily/Access rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Templates/ /backup/daily/Templates rsync -a --delete /usr/home/QBdata/ /backup/daily/QBdata rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception1/ /backup/daily/reception1 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception2/ /backup/daily/reception2 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception3/ /backup/daily/reception3 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Files/ /backup/daily/Files All files created where chmod'd with +x, then I test the scripts by running them manually and all three, daily, weekly monthly work fine. FInal step, I add to root crontab, by using : crontab -e I added following lines : 1 23 30 * * /usr/local/sbin/backup/monthly 1 21 * * 0 /usr/local/sbin/backup/weekly 1 23 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/backup/daily crontab -l shows all is OK as well. But the scheduled backups never happen. I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what. rsync isn't in the path of cron. You should either provide the complete path in the script, of add /usr/local/bin to your crontab.

It will save you a lot of scripting, etc and it works great. I have been using it as part of my backup procedure for a while now and it works well. Eric Lot's of solutions: I use dirvish, also from the ports.

Re: Upgrade 6.1 to 7.1 remotely?

Seems that box will not let me portupgrade clamav anymore due to a change from 6.1 :( I've upgraded several machines remotely with success (as described in the handbook) and never had any problems (even did a OpenBSD version upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1 - somewhere around 3.4 they switched from a.out to elf format). Those upgrades where both minor (eg. 6.3 - 6.4) and major (6.4 - 7.0).
