PASSWORD LOST!!
Hey guys, I have a web/ftp server loaded with FreeBSD. This was done a couple of years back. Since then the person or persons that did the original install have gone out of business and cannot be found. Currently I have an issue logging into the ftp. I hooked a monitor up to the server and I'm getting filesystem full errors and since I don't have a password to get in I cannot have it fixed by someone that knows UNIX. I have made numerous attempts to contact the person that installed on a personal level. But I'm getting the impression he has moved with no forwarding. I you have need for more information I will supply it. I just don't know where to start. Our company's ftp is down and doesn't look like it will return anytime soon with out further assistance. Thank you for your time and have a great day. -- Eric Petersen Pre-Press Technician Anderson Brothers Printing Company 4525 41st Street Sioux City, Iowa 51108 phone: 712.239. fax: 712.239.3322 e-mail: er...@andersonbrothers.biz ___ 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
RE: su to root not prompting for a password

I think it has something to do with PAM, but the documentation is not exactly written for those of us who don't have MS/Ph.D.'s in computer science. Does anyone know how to fix this? I thought I followed all the directions in /usr/src/UPDATING, but I must have done something wrong, probably while using mergemaster. My apologies if this has already been asked, but the search function on lists.freebsd.org won't let me access other search result pages beyond the first, and google didn't help. You probably clobbered master.passwd when you mergemastered. In all probability, root now has no password at all. Set one with passwd.

lprps: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Operation not permitted
Hi I did something stuppid and messed up my lpd-setup. I looked around in KDE's Printer Manager in administrator-mode, and even though I didn't apply any changes it activated cupsd (should it do that?) which in turn overwrote my /etc/printcap. Now I can't get back to the old and working setup. I've removed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh, so /etc/printcap doesn't get overwritten any more. Though I don't have a copy of my /etc/printcap I found older copy (which might be identical) which have worked in the past: laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/psif: The psif-filter is installed and at that location. lpd is up and running.

RE: portupgrade -ar (why?)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- Jan Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 15 Oct 2005, Peter Matulis wrote: What is the use of specifying the 'r' switch when using the 'a' switch? # portupgrade -ar This says to upgrade all ports plus the ones that depend on all those ports. Am I missing something? Wouldn't the ones that depend be upgraded anyway? Not necessarily. For instance: package P might use library L. A change in L might alter the size and layout of structures exposed to P. The source-level API of L is unchanged; the binary-level ABI is altered. So whilst the source code of P might not have changed, it might (for instance) be using a macro defined by a header in L that will look at the wrong offset in the new structure. These kinds of ABI compatibility problems can be fixed by recompilihng P. But still, a port requires upgrading or it does not. Using 'r', portupgrade ultimately checks whether some port should be upgraded. Are you saying that the 'r' switch involves a different decision making process than 'a'? The -a switch will upgrade a port only if its version number has increased (as you know). The -r switch will upgrade a port if one of its dependancies has been upgraded, regardless of whether its version number has changed or not. e.g. Appbar-1.0 depends on libfoo-1.0. Libfoo gets a portbump to 1.1. portupgrade -r libfoo will install libfoo-1.1, plus also force a recompile and reinstallation of appbar-1.0, irrespective of the fact that appbar's version remains the same. Thus, any ABI changes that happened in libfoo that could potentially break appbar that was compiled/linked against the previous version are limited. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be a problem. ABIs and APIs should remain constant, until a library revision bump (i.e., if libfoo.1's ABI changed and broke apps, it shoulda been bumped to libfoo.2). Most times you can get away with not recompiling a port's dependants because developers, but if you don't then it can shoot you in the foot (read the recent list archives regarding openssl-0.9.8 to see an example of this).

Thank you very much (BTW, there is something missing in your last sentence). ..because developers mostly take ABI breakage into account and tend not to do it on minor versions, but if you don't... One last thing. Is this the case with the 'R' switch as well? Well, the -R switch won't force anything to upgrade if it's already at the latest version. AFAIK (someone please correct me on this if I'm wrong) it is pointless to use it with the -a switch as -a by its very nature is upgrading anything that needs upgrading anyway, which includes any dependancies of a port, and AFAIK -a will sort the upgrades so that dependancies are done before upgrades (thus, 'portupgrade -a' is functionally equivalent to 'portupgrade -R *'). Uninstalled dependancies of an installed port are irrelevant in any portupgrade case, as the port will automatically pull them in as part of its compilation.

detach rm -f /dev/mp3player
before the bottomline:
device USB device
detaching the mp3player, run:
#/etc/rc.d/usbd restart
Attach the mp3player again and it only gets attached to /dev/da0

it's not perfect yet; ie. it's slow on connecting. But my solution included a
mixture of medling with my firewall-settings both on the server and windows
client. And creating a new printer in /etc/printcap, that just passes the
data to the printer (no filters). And perhaps some adjusted samba-setting.
In my firewall (serverside) I opened up to all trafic on port 137-139 and 445
(I didn't know about port 445 previously).

The thing that nacks me about my firewall settings is, that it's possible more
open than nessecary. Any help on what trafic-type that can be closed would be
great.
On my windows-client I had port 445 closed, though I'm not sure I need to open
it?
My printcap-entry for samba looks like this:

RE: HDDs dividing rules
Behalf Of Peter Rosa said: Hi all, Everywhere I looked, I found only words as make your own choice of partitioning schema etc., but I think, there must be some rules. How you define your partitions and what mount flags you use is very much dependant on what you're using the box for. Only you can make this descision. And what if I have an HW RAID controller. Are there some difficulties or differences from normal dividing ? Nope. Tell us, please, something like Divide your HDD as follows: 1. create slices for /, /home, /etc .. It's good because Making a slice for /etc is a 'bad' idea. Kernel can't read all the rc scripts if they're not on root slice - not to mention /etc/fstab (thus not being able to find any other slices to mount). 2. mount / as RO.. This will do a pretty good job of making it impossible for anyone to change their pass (as /etc has to be on root slice) 3. mount /user as noexec+nosuid... If by this you mean /usr, this will break just about every application on the system (most binaries that aren't essential to core system live in /usr/(s)bin (or /usr/local/(s)bin if you install stuff yourself). A lot of these need to be suid/sgid too. I think hope these rules are well-known, but one must know where to look for Nope. Every box I setup has different slice schemes - its very dependant on the usage. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Getting dnscache working, howto?
Hi! I'm trying to set up a dnscache with the sole purpose to make resolving sites like doubleclick.net lock up my browsers, when FreeBSD is trying to resolve the IP. I've tried following the guidelines in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dns.html but apparently I've missed something, which is a small wonder since I know very little about dns etc. My setup is fairly simple: ISP - ADSL-modem - Router - FreeBSD-box I'm using DHCP to connect to my router. Now, my questions are these: 1) /etc/resolv.conf should say nameserver 127.0.0.1 and nothing else? 2) Should my ISP's DNS' be added as forwarders in named.conf. If not, where should they be put then? 3) Since I'm only aiming for a dns-cache I'm right in assuming I should keep my hands away from all the zone-stuff? 4) Where is the cache written to?

One option... cheat
Make your dns server authoritative
for doubleclick.net, and have no entries

in the zone file.
So, would that mean I should create an entry in named.conf like:
zone doubleclick.net {
type master;
file doubleclick.net;
};
and then don't have a doubleclick.net ... or should I create an empty file?
... or?
named stores it's cache in memory. You can get a dump
of the current cache.. don't remember the exact syntax
but it's in the man page.
Hmm, so every time I reboot I loose my cache? But still, if I visit eg.
http://www.politiken.dk and wait untill it's loaded (ie. finished resolving
doubleclick.net) and then hit reload it ought to go a lot quicker. But it
doesn't, takes just as long. :-/

Murray Taylor said: root@flea(/usr/ports/net/smbfs)ttyp3 # uname -a FreeBSD flea.bytecraft.au.com 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Tue Sep 24 mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) OK so I look into the /dev/MAKEDEV scripts and there is no nsmb anywhere. Yes there is (and has been since way before 4.7-RC). You probably never ran mergemaster after an installworld. cd /dev rm -f nsmb* mknod nsmb0 c 144 0 There are currently no nsmb devices in /dev on the new host THE QUESTION Is this command line still appropriate or has any of the mknod parameters changed? Yes. Major node has not changed. Petersen To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

ATAPI/CAM and cdbakeoven
Hi! I've just upgraded to a new kernel that includes ATAPI/CAM. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use this with eg. cdbakeoven and I don't have much success. Eg. if I try to copy a music-CD, I can select my drive, but never gets any index loaded. Under CD-ROM Devices my DVD/CDRW-drives doesn't show up in the Autodetect page, but shows up under Scanbus. Clicking on Details I get: Cdrecord 1.10 (i386-unknown-freebsd4.5) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: Invalid argument. Invalid lun specifier in '01,00,00]'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. Is this any clue to what's up... or where should I dig?

Like mplayer can't display the frames fast enough. Eg. looks like frame X gets displayed but halfway down frame X+1 takes over. Or perhaps some sort stop'n'go (ie. tiny stops in the flow). The CPU-load is only ~30-50% and I don't have this issue with DVD's/MPEG's. Just DivX 4/5. BTW: Do you know how to rebuild index' in divx-files permanently? The man-pages says I can do this with mencoder... but I can't find any mention on *how*?

Re: About to install FreeBSD as a Desktop...

Well, bugfixes for one thing, but also some added functionality (FBSD keeps improving ;)). Best thing is to run -STABLE (read the FreeBSD Handbook on how to do this), and keep your ports-tree current. So, just install 4.6.2, update to -STABLE, update your portstree, and then install KDE, X and all the other needed stuff. Voila, you've got neat Desktop-computer. ;) And finally, I've really only used FreeBSD as a work environment so I've never had the chance to answer this question myself.can I view DVD's? And if so what program should I use? Yes, I prefer mplayer. But there is VLC, Xine and Ogle as well (all in ports).

I thought DVD playing required the use of patented mathematics (I know it's mathematics, even if they call it algorithms or methods or even software), secret country codes, etc. What's the current situation? How do the above players manage it? Are they legal in most countries? Xine is quite legal in all countries, but some of it's plugins are not. VLC, mplayer and Ogle breaks CSS, and is possible illegal in the US ... and with the infosoc directive in all EU-countries by 22nd december. That means, by 22nd of december I will become a criminal... civil disobedience is the path I'll choose.

Stacey, I dunno about the Handbook 2nd Edition (as I don't have a copy of it), but what I do know is that the current handbook, section 17.9.8 is correct.
