RAID10 setup

[Phil Lewis]

We got there!

Thanks for the encouragement. It took a few more steps, and I
couldn't get geom_mirror or geom_stripe to kldload from the
Fixit environment and so did it all from a clean install instead.

All that remains is to move my /usr onto the new file system.

It worked.

Thanks again

Phil

Thanks to both of you for the encouraging words. I'm going to do little more
reading and schedule some time probably on Wednesday to give this a go.

I'll feel a lot more conformable for your responses!

Cheers

 You're on the right track, additional comments inline.

...

 You seem to be pretty well on track. It seems you've already parsed the
 gstripe and gmirror man pages. You should probably look at fdisk(8) and
 bsdlabel(8) as well in case sysinstall doesn't tie up all your loose

 When you create the file systems you should  also consider laying gjournal
 on top of the stripe as well. In most cases it will remove the need for
 having to fsck the file systems when there's a system crash. Quite useful if
 the filesystem is large.

 I also like the label the filesystems with glabel so they appear in the
 fstab as

 /dev/ufs/root
 /dev/ufs/usr
 /dev/ufs/var

 etc

RAID10 setup

[Phil Lewis]

This question was asked a few weeks ago, but the original poster
must have had their questions amswered. As follow-ups offered
further assistance given more detail, I wonder if I could be so bold
as to provide that detail for my own circumstances.

I have six disks:

ad4  - 500MB
ad5  - 500MB
ad6  - 500MB
ad7  - 400MB
ad8  - 500MB
ad10 - 500MB

These are SATA drives, with ad8 and ad10 on a PCIe SATA controller.

ad7 was my first disk and currently contains FreeBSD7.2-RELEASE.
I've been using that to gain some familiarity with FreeBSD, but it
need not be preserved (in fact, I'd rather not preserve it!). When I
built the machine, I just plugged the 400GB drive in any old slot,
so it can move if that makes sense. When I got the new drives I tried
to get identical to the 400GB drive, but couldn't. The 400GB drive
currently has a single slice using the full drive.

What I'd like to end up with is a three-way stripe across three
two-way mirrors, containing as much of the system as possible.

I understand that you can't boot from a stripe, so some part of some
disk will have to be outside the stripe. However, as the stripe will
also be limited to the smallest disk, I'm going to have 5 x 100 GB
bits left over anyway, so I guess /boot can go on one of these..?

If possible, I'd like set this up pre-install. If it has to be done
post-install, or is easier to describe how to do post-install, then
that's fine.

From here on in, this email becomes speculative.

All of the examples I've seen for setting up GEOM stripes and mirrors
have used the raw disk as the base-level provider. On the other hand,
I've seen nothing that says that the bottom level cannot be a slice,
rather than a raw disk, and given the way GEOM works, I suspect this
is true.

My current plan, based on this assumption, is as follows:

With my current FreeBSD installation, create 2 slices on each 500GB
disk, 1 x ~400GB,  1 x ~100GB (the same size as the slice of my 400GB
disk, and the rest of the disk).

Boot from the FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE dvd, and enter fixit mode. I'm
not sure which would be best, or even if both are feasible for what I
want to do. (I was at this point in my researchwhen I found this
post!).

From here, kldload geom_stripe and kldload geom_mirror.

Then, create the three mirrors:

gmirror label -v main0 /dev/ad4s1 /dev/ad5s1
gmirror label -v main1 /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad571
gmirror label -v main2 /dev/ad8s1 /dev/ad10s1

This should give me /mirror/main0|main1|main2, right?

Next create the stripe:

gstripe label -v -s 131072 raid10 /dev/mirror/main0
/dev/mirror/main1
/dev/mirror/main2
(that's all one line)


If I'm right so far, then hopefully I should be able to boot to the
install dvd again (or just rerun sysnstall?), and from there I should
be able to choose a slice from outside 'raid10' to mount /boot, and
use 'raid10' for everything else. Do I need anything else on a
non-striped slice?

Maybe I could even create another mirror:

gmirror label -v boot /dev/ad4s2 /dev/ad5s2

and use that to mount /boot, leaving me with s2 on ad6,8 and 10 as
3 spare 100GB slices?

Or am I just way off track?

PS. I can't believe I'm talking about 300 'spare' GB! My first disk
was 20MB! And I never filed that!

All guidance much appreciated.

Phil

  point!

 You need to consider where/how you are going to boot the system. It's
 straightforward to boot from a gmirror'ed UFS filesystem (the BIOS just uses
 one disk and thinks everything is normal), but you can't do the same from a
 stripe. You will either need a separate disk/device for your / or /boot
 partition or you will need to use slices/partitions on your disks. I
 frequently have the root filesystem on a small gmirror (partitions on 2
 disks) then use the equivalent extra space on the remaining disk(s) for
 swap.

 Youi should be able to do this pre-installfrom the Fixit shell. Boot to the
 live CD, enter the shell, kldload geom_mirror and geom_stripe, create the
 mirrors, create the stripe, exit the shell, start theinstall, and tell
 sysinstall to use the device node under /dev/stripe for your filesystem.

 Alternatively you could just do a regularinstallto one of the disks and do
 everything post-install. In this case you'd still create two mirrors but one
 of them would only contain a single disk at first. Then create your stripe,
 dump/restore your files, update fstab

Subject: Tool for validating sender address as spam-fighting technique?

To fight spam, I want to validate the address (not necessarily in
real-time) of the a given email sender. Is there a Unix tool that does
this?

The basics are simple: to validate [EMAIL PROTECTED], I connect to
the MX record of wnonline.net and go as far as RCPT TO as follows:

 host -t mx wnonline.net
wnonline.net mail is handled by 5 wnspf.bayou.com.

 telnet wnspf.bayou.com. 25
Trying 209.209.192.75...
Connected to wnspf.bayou.com..
Escape character is '^]'.
220 Welcome to Bayou mxfilter
HELO domaintester.com
250 mxfilter.bayou.com
MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 Ok
RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recipient address rejected: 5.1.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]... User unknown
QUIT
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

This tells me [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an invalid address and that mail
from that address is probably bogus.

A more sophisticated tool would cache results, handle temporary
failures (eg, inability to connect to the MX server), handle multiple
MX records, perhaps even publish results [carefully, to avoid giving
spammers a source of legit email addresses!], etc. Plus, I'd prefer to
use a tested tool vs hacking something up myself.

I realize this technique is far from perfect:

Spammers spoof legit addresses

Bounces/Mailing lists/etc legitimately use do not reply addresses

It could be considered unfriendly to the target MX servers

Some mail servers incorrectly say user unknown when they see spam,
figuring it's more of a deterrent than saying you're a spammer

Some mail servers inefficiently accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where
xxx.com is one of their domains), figure out if foo exists later, and
send a bounce back to the envelope sender, instead of rejecting email
at the SMTP level (a really good tool would create throwaway addresses
to catch these cases too)

... but I still think it might help.

Ping and general network weirdness

[Phil Cooper]

Hi everybody;

Not doing too well with my first freeBSD install. I have a machine  
set up with the name fragile, no ipv6, DHCP, no ipfw, and sshd on.


Problem is, I can ping out to other machines on the network, or to  
another machine on the Internet ('net connection via another winXP  
machine), but neither of the other machine on the network can ping  
fragile. Fragile can ping itself via localhost, but not by name.


From any machine, or fragile itself, pinging fragile or the IP gives:

bramley:~ phil$ ping fragile
PING fragile.mshome.net (192.168.0.116): 56 data bytes

Thanks;

I checked with ifconfig, and fragile's IP is actually 192.168.0.224,  
and I put this in the hosts file.


Now, I can ping and ssh into fragile using the IP address, but  
pinging fragile still assumes 192.168.0.116 is it's IP - so does  
the fault now lie with the other machines on the network? How do I  
get them to realise that fragile==192.168.0.224 and not .116?

To ping using fragile.mshome.net you would need a DSN server
to resolve that name to an internal IP address.

Look in the ports collection for djbdns

As far as I know, not knowing much, doesn't the win XP box which  
connects to the net do all the DHCP and local DNS when XP's internet  
connection sharing is turned on? Which it is. It's at 192.168.0.1,  
which netstat is correctly reporting as the default gateway...


So is it a case of working out how to get XP to update things?

If you haven't explicitly set fragile-192.168.1.204 in a DNS

Whew, thank you!  I knew automake was being misdirected somewhere, but didn't 
think of /etc/make.conf, can't remember putting that in there, but I suppose I 
did.  Commented that line out, and things are back to normal, everything works

Thank you Kris.

Automake version mismatch - can't install anything via ports

[Phil Cryer]

While trying to update automake19 I messed something up, now even though I can 
pkg_add it, it fails to update via ports.  Worse still I can't install ANY 
ports now, even though I've run portupdate, rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work and 
everything else suggested.  Here's the error when I try to install automake19:

If you downloaded the Linux version -- it won't work b/c it loads a

 The .pcf file is human readable, you can easily extract all

Binary search to track down a problem

[Phil Schulz]

Hi!
 I am trying to track down a problem with my laptop which was 
introduced somewhere between the release of 5.2.1 and 5.3 most likely 
related to ACPI (the laptop does not shut itself off when running halt -p).

 Before complaining about the problem itself, I'd like to gather as 
much information as possible or maybe even fix it myself. Currently, I 
am trying to find out when exactly the problem started with a method 
others have described as the 'binary search aproach' in the past.

 I have set up a jail environment with make installworld DESTDIR=... 
and with sources checked out from CVS. Inside the jail, I rebuild world, 
install world, build the kernel and install the kernel (still inside the 
jail). Then, from the host system, I copy the kernel from the jail's 
root directory to /boot and reboot to see whether or not the problem 
still is there.
 Then, I delete /usr/src from the jail and checkout the sources from 
the appropriate date and do the full buildworld, installworld, 
buildkernel and installworld again.

 Since rebuilding world and kernel including the clean step takes an 
awful long time I am wondering if there is something I can do to speed 
things up a bit?

 I am not so much worried about going from older to newer sources since 
this case can be handled by following /usr/src/UPDATING closely but 
rather the other way around. I have tried to manually build and install 
/usr/sbin/config inside the jail with a 5.3-Stable world and then build 
the older 5.2.1 kernel only. However I ran into some make errors so I 
figured I will go the fail safe path but that path really annoys me due 
to its slowness.

 Regards,
   Phil.

From ndis(4):

To build a functional driver, the user must have a copy of the driver
distribution media for his or her card.  From this distribution, the
user must extract two files: the .SYS file containing the driver binary
code, and its companion .INF file, which contains the definitions for
driver-specific registry keys and other installation data such as device
identifiers. These two files can be converted into a ndis_driver_data.h
file using the ndiscvt(8) utility.  This file contains a binary image of
the driver plus registry key data.  When the ndis driver loads, it will
create sysctl(3) nodes for each registry key extracted from the .INF file.

So, in short: You'll need to run the supplied Windows driver through
ndiscvt(8) before you can build the ndis module.

If you can't afford to upgrade the base OS and you do not want to 
install OpenSSH from the ports, then you'll need to specify what 
vulnerability you are talking about.

I checked the FreeBSD security advisories which *could* apply to your 
problem and it seems that FreeBSD-SA-04:05.openssl is the one you might 
be talking about. A patch is included with the advisory along with 
instructions on how to apply the patch and fix the issue.

I used the excellent Rootkit Hunter security

has at least one vulnerability.
I only know how to install/upgrade from ports. OpenSSH
is part of the ports collection, but the build I'm
running was included with the OS. 

What's the right way to proceed here?

You'll need device ehci in your kernel or module ehci.ko loaded. Even

I use Mozilla and it appeared to crash a lot recently. Everytime it

When I started Mozilla from a shell (instead of from the Gnome menu), I 
noticed that when Mozilla exited, a message like

Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 988 in file 
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 0)

was printed to the terminal. Searching the CVS log for the file revealed 
that apparently www/linuxpluginwrapper needs to be rebuild. It seems 
that upgrading that port has fixed my problems.

Well, I think this applies only to 5-Stable after Feb 4th, 2005, and 
since you didn't mention which version you're running I don't know if it 
applies to your problem.

I'm not a port developer but I think you are looking for either `make

 If you know which ports you want to install on your system, you can do 
a `make configure' for each port (where it is availeable) and then have 
a skript fire up the `make install's. I'm not sure though if that works 
recursively, i.e. you run `make configure' for e.g. the Gnome meta port 
and you configure all the dependencies with that one command. Why don't 
you try it? ;-)
 If you think the default options are ok for you, you can add a line

user interaction. Very useful for large builds.

BATCH=yes i can not do because some configuration leave some very nice toys 
out.
If you know what specific options you are looking for, you could 
configure the ports by hand and install them later. I think not all 
ports can be build with BATCH defined, at least that's what ports(7) 
suggests.

Now lets see you can call all dependencies with this if your index is working :)
make pretty-print-build-depends-list
so with some grep magic you could tell to do make config in all does
dependencies. Now the trickie part how do you find out the new
dependencies after does configure screens ?
a maybe updating the index and do the same thing all over again until
there are no new dependencies ?

can you update the index after a configure that adds a extra
dependencie to the port ?
I don't know.
I don't think it would be very efficient in terms of effort vs. use. How 
many ports do you really want to install with non-default options? And 
how often do you re-configure them?

You probably want to wait for an opinion from someone else who knows 
more, though.

As a general rule of thumb, I won't put FreeBSD on anything smaller
than a 1Ghz with 128M of RAM and 4G of disk space.  While you can
get away with smaller, that's about the minimum before using the
box for maintenance purposes becomes a terrible burdon.  Try upgrading

You can always build world remotely. 1GHz seems to be overkill for a

threads from this list. 

Can someone please point me in the right direction for
this? I'm going nuts! (Short trip by the way)
since you don't give much information about the problem, e.g. what 
errors you're seeing, it's hard to say for sure what's wrong... but i'll 
try anyways.

i have this in my config file
Section InputDevice
Identifier  Mouse0
Driver  mouse
Option  Protocol Auto
Option  Device /dev/sysmouse
Option  ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
the mouse is detected as
ums0: Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.
and don't forget a line like
usbd_enable=YES
in /etc/rc.conf -- and it works.

i don't think vmware 4 works on freebsd since, iirc, the linux version 
loads a kernel module and thus can't be run under the linux 
compatibility layer. however, there are older versions of vmware in the 
ports tree under emulators/ which work on freebsd (at least did work on 
5.2.1)

there is a link on this page

where you can download the packages. You can then use pkg_add to install

Re: Sharing resources on LAN without NFS

The handbook section on NFS was great but having only 3 computers I

correct handbook chapter where this is explained.

Ben,
maybe I'm overlooking sth obvious, but I think you'll always need a 
client/server setup in this case. The server needs to serve the 
resource, i.e. the printer or the CD-writer, to its clients, the other 
PCs on your network.
If you are only running Unix-like operating systems on your PCs, I think 
NFS is the simplest solution, provided that the network isn't directly 
reacheable from the internet. If you need to share resources with 
windows, you'll need to run samba.
It is all described in chapter 23 of the handbook.

 Obviously some of their custom stuff needs to run inside kernel, but I

 whatever (does Linux have KLDs?).
Then you either know nothing about programming or nothing about their
products. Do you think they do gigabit bandwidth management, with
features not in the kernel, from user space? 
That's not what I meant and not what I wrote.
You can write a loadable kernel module w/o changing the kernel sources, 
can't you?

Plus, if they were using an
unmodified kernel, why not provide the source? Put it on the machine.
Whats the harm?
 What's the use of it? Would you pay a load of money for a product, 
modify it and therefore lose all the support?

  A while back, I fast-read a post of Linus Torvalds to a mailing list
 saying why he thinks that binary-only enhancements to linux must be GPL
 licenced (and I believed the statemant was discussed on a FreeBSD-list
 also). His argument was that by using the kernel headers your work
 automatically becomes a derived work, thus it needs to be licensed under
 the GPL. I seem to recall the discussion was about nVidia's closed
Modules use headers and are not GPLed, so clearly you're just
plain wrong.
 Ok, we agree that modules use headers and that at least some modules 
are not GPL licensed. Why am I wrong?
 We should also agree that (at least some) kernel headers are GPL'ed. 
You can verify this yourself if you have the time and the bandwith. My 
point was that some people think that if you use a GPL'ed header file, 
your work must be under the GPL as well. I don't have an opinion on that 
point b/c I haven't had the need to think about it yet.
 I was rather trying to say that not even Linux people agree on how to 
interpret the GPL.

 
Linus is just a big dope anyway, so who cares what he thinks? He's like
Kerry. He thinks whatever is convenient for him to think at the time.
 I don't care a whole lot about the upcoming U.S. election. Plus I 
think it is highly inappropriate to state your political opinion in such 
a way on this list. It's not what the list is there for.

Debugging a panic (was: )

Dan Mahoney, System Admin wrote:
After recently upgrading to 4.10, on a machine that's known for getting 
100+ days uptime, I got the following error on an unexpected reboot:

[Panic]
What could cause this?
-Dan Mahoney
Hi Dan!
 I'm no expert at all, but I'll give it a try...
 If you cannot reproduce the panic, you might face a hardware problem. 
Memory, harddisk, power supply, etc. are the usual suspects. If you, 
however, can reproduce the panic, please continue to read.

 Please note that the steps outlined below are things I did on a 
5.3-BETA5 system. I might have forgotten some things while I have 
included other, unneeded steps.

 There are a few requirements to really debug a panic:
 * Build a kernel w/ debug symbols. Add makeoptions DEBUG=-g to your
   kernel configuration file.
 * Set up the dumpdev and dumpdir variables in rc.conf - mine are
   set to:
 dumpdev=/dev/ad0s2b
 dumpdir=/var/crash
 * If the machine doesn't aim at minimum downtime, you might want to
   build a kernel debugger into your kernel, so the kernel can drop into
   the debugger in case of a panic. At the debugger prompt, you can type
   backtrace to get a useful trace on how the kernel ended up in the
   place where it crashed. I've also found that you need to type call
   doadump to get a crash dump before you can reset the machine. This
   might or might not apply to 4.x, however.
 * If you're aiming at minimum downtime and have set the machine to
   automatically reset itself in case of a panic, you'll have to analyze
   the core dump to get a trace.
 It is my understanding that the instruction pointer listed in the 
panic message points to the place where things blew up. You can use the 
address to point to the line in the source code, provided you have built 
in debug symbols and you have a core dump. However, the address might 
point to different places with different kernel configurations, i.e. the 
adress you gave us only applies to your kernel.
 I also think that debug symbols do not have any negative impact on 
performance, so it's a good idea to keep them around.
 Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  The link below [1] and a quick Google search for Debugging Kernel 
Problems will point you to documentation I've found very useful.

HTH,
Phil.

 This error seems to be caused by some sort of mishandling of nls.alias
 when this command runs:

 For this to work correctly, the file /usr/src/etc/nls.alias should
 contain pairs of words, as shown below:
 
 : # $FreeBSD: src/etc/nls.alias,v 1.5 2003/06/10 01:22:30 ache Exp $
 :
 : POSIX   C
 : en_US.US-ASCII  C
 
 Two questions that come to my mind are:
 
 1. Have you changed this file in any way?

Nope. Well... not by directly editing.

 2. What are the locale settings of your environment when this
fails, i.e. what does this print?
 
 $ env | grep '^L[AC]' | sort

No output from this command.

Here's the nls.alias file:


gw# cat /usr/src/etc/nls.alias

 That's the first part.  xterm doesn't {by default} set up your shell
 as a login shell ... therefore it doesn't get certain environment
 variables, and probably there are a few other things I don't know
 about ...
 
 A simple test:  try typing logout to exit your xterm.  If it responds
 not a login shell, then, well, it's not.  Starting xterm with -ls should
 help with the problem, as Giorgos stated.
 
 Now, to further support the theory Giorgos has here, Eterm *does*
 seem to use its -l option by default, so when using Eterm the terminal
 would invoke tcsh as a login shell ... and things should work.

I believe you're correct about it being a login shell issue. Using xterm
and using su - instead of su fixes the issue.

Not sure what's different in the environment that makes a full login
shell work though.

Anyway, many thanks to all who helped sort this out.

Thanks,
Phil.

Re: Spinlock problem in 5.3-Beta

[Phil Kernick]

Why are people continuing to ask -CURRENT questions in -STABLE?
Just because 5.3-RELEASE will probably become stable, it isn't -STABLE now, 
and the -STABLE list isn't the place to ask questions.  Please take them back 
to -CURRENT where they belong.

Re: CVS CO Error

Hello,
I am trying to update my source using CVS, as CVSup is not an option

Below are the commands that I am entering in order to perform the

attempting to update my source:

lx1005# pwd

I'm thinking it must be something in your configuration, as I
can't replicate the problem here.
I can, but only if I include the -rRELENG_4_10 part.
(using csh)
# setenv CVSROOT [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
# cvs co -rRELENG_4_10 src/COPYRIGHT
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied
# cvs co src/COPYRIGHT
U src/COPYRIGHT
If there were a file in the way, you'd see something like
# rm -rf src/
# mkdir src
# touch src/COPYRIGHT
# cvs co src/COPYRIGHT
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository
The reason why I think this is a server issue is that there is no 
reference to /home/ncvs on my system besides the CVSROOT variable. Of 
course, I might be doing something wrong, but I'm completely lost on 
what it could be.

Do you have CVS_RSH=ssh in your environment?
From man cvs:
  CVS_RSH
  cvs uses the contents of this variable to determine the name  of
  the  remote shell command to use when starting a cvs server.  If
  this variable is not set then `ssh' is used.
I take is that it doesn't matter if you've got it set or not, as long as 
you want to use ssh.

You might want to use a text based configuration tool. If you are trying 
to install a version of FreeBSD that comes with XFree86, you might be 
able to easily configure your card and monitor by running `xf86cfg 
-textmode`. If you are trying to install X.org, you can do the same 
thing by running `xorgcfg -textmode`

Can't boot

[Phil Thomson]

Hi all,
Just installed FreeBSD on a Pentium 150 I found in the garbage (!), and it 
seems the installation went fine, but I cannot boot. I had to use the boot 
floppies to start the installation, so I used those to boot from to try 
and figure out how to configure the boot options in sysinstall, but I had 
no luck. I tried using the fixit floppy, but I don't understand how to 
find the hard drive or what I would do when I got there (I'm kind of a 
newbie to FreeBSD). The holographic shell didnt work (no shell came up 
at all). I can't currently rescue from a CD as I did a network install 
from floppies. What is the next step?

Re: Can't boot

[Phil Thomson]

I assume that you are installing *only* FreeBSD on the Pentium and not
multibooting it. Did you select to install the standard MBR or did u
select to leave he MBR untouched? What happens when you try to boot
the system fromthe hadr drive?
Yes, FreeBSD is to be the only system on the machine. I actually don't 
remember what I chose to do with regards to the MBR; was there a point in 
the installation I would have made that choice? I'm pretty sure I would 
have chosen to install the standard MBR as there are no other systems on 
the machine. Is there a way I can fix the MBR now if that's the issue? I 
couldn't find that in sysinstall.

When I try to boot from the hard drive, it says Read error.

Re: how to get ndis support working in freebsd

[Phil Schulz]

Sanjay Makadia wrote:
Hi,
I am newbie as far as freebsd is concerned.  I installed the latest
version of freebsd 5.2.1 last week and to make my wireless card to
work i need ndis wrapper.  I searched for it on the web and found the
necessary drivers.  I searched for ndis on my system but it seems like
its not there.  Do i have rebuild the kernel with some flags to
install ndis or can i just get source for ndis and install it?  Any
help is highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Hi,
 Project Evil aka NDISulator does not come with 5.2.1-Release. 
However, you can install it on 5.2.1-Release by following these 
instructions.
 You need to have the system's sources installed locally. In addition, 
you will have to download the NDISulator sources. You can either 
download them from CVSweb, by using CVSup or by using AnonCVS. I chose 
to use AnonCVS.
 Pick an AnonCVS mirror close to you from the list at [1]. I live in 
Germany, but since none of the two German mirrors work for me atm, I 
chose anoncvs.at.FreeBSD.org which is located in Austria. Set your 
CVSROOT environment variable so it fits the server you chose. I issued 
the following commands:

  $ su
  Password:
  # setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
 I used 'su' b/c you need write permissions on the source tree to check 
out the NDISulator sources.
 Now you will need to login to the CVS server.

  # cvs login
  Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/ncvs
  CVS password:
 You can find the password listed at [1]. Now you need to check out the 
sources for NDISulator. The directories you need to check out are

  sys/compat/ndis
  sys/dev/if_ndis
  usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  sys/modules/if_ndis
  sys/modules/ndis
Use the following command to do so (and make sure you're in /usr/src):
  # pwd
  /usr/src
  mars# cvs checkout sys/compat/ndis sys/dev/if_ndis usr.sbin/ndiscvt \
  sys/modules/if_ndis sys/modules/ndis
  [CVS output snipped]
 First you should build ndiscvt(8) by doing
  # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  # make
  [compile output snipped]
  # make install
  install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   ndiscvt /usr/sbin
  install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ndiscvt.8.gz  /usr/share/man/man8
  # rehash
 Now you can build the first module by doing:
  # cd /sys/modules/ndis/
  # make
  # make load
  /sbin/kldload -v /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko
  Loaded /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko, id=4
 Finally you need to build the if_ndis module. This requires that you 
have got the drivers for your NIC availeable.

  # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
  # ndiscvt -i /path/to/driver.inf -s /path/to/driver.sys \
  -o ndis_driver_data.h
  [long output snipped]
  # make

Depending on your interface the output might look differently, but if

A miniinst is a minimal network-install image - it would fit well on a

The others are full base system install CDs (and maybe more - I haven't
handled a set of FreeBSD CDs for quite a while).

Rishi,
I'm sorry but I don't /know/. But the driver floppy image doesn't have 
the driver included (according to the DRIVERS.TXT file) - it is possible 
that the driver is not included on the floppies just to save space. You 
might want to download the miniinst.iso from

ftp://ftp.CHANGE_THIS.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/5.2.1/5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso
burn it to a blank cd and see if you can boot from the CD. Note that the 
URL above is for the i386 platform (ordinary PC) only. For other 
platforms, you'll need to go to the respective directory on the FTP 
server - I guess you'll find the file :-)

I am not sure whether users could actually use the old kernel (once in

Mark,
I'd say there is no problem in keeping the old kernel around. Even if 
you had to apply a security patch to the current kernel. After applying 
the patch, re-compiling and installing the new kernel, /kernel.old would 
indeed contain the old security hole. However, as long as nobody can 
boot that old kernel, no harm can be done. If an attacker is actually 
able to boot your old vulnerable kernel, then he won't need to exploit 
the security whole anymore :-)

Re: Weird memory detection problem on Compaq M700

[Phil Schulz]

[...]
I have a Compaq Armada M700 that I used for a firewall.  I've recently
upgraded the memory in it to 320MB (64MB onboard + 256MB).  The machine
detects the memory fine.  The FreeBSD bootloader detects the memory fine.
However, when the kernel boots it only detects 64MB.
I don't know if this is related but I'll post anyways hoping to help you.
I have an older Armada laptop which has the same problem, however it's 
running OpenBSD. I remember reading that the BIOS of the laptop wouldn't 
announce the right amount of physical memory to the kernel. The solution 
 (for OpenBSD) is to add a line that reads
	machine mem [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to /etc/boot.conf - Note that this is for 32MB onboard + 32MB in the 
add. slot.

[...]
I realise I can use options MAXMEM to manually specify the amount of RAM
in the machine, but it just struck me as rather strange that it detects
192MB fine but not 320MB (particularly since the bootloader sees it all).
Try it. See if it works. I think it's pretty much the same thing I did 
with my OpenBSD laptop.

Phil.

### mounting
i'm not sure that i 'get' which device the zip maps to nor how to determine
this.  i have tried about 40 different combinations of mount (mostly
gleaned from my research), but i have yet to hit upon the right command. 

# mount -t msdos /dev/da* /mnt  # * = practically every single one
msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured
See above. I think USB mass storage devices require sa to work, 
therefore you would need sth like

mount -t msdos /dev/sa* /mnt  -- Don't know what * should be out of my 
head now.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
 
Questions:
1. What is the command for ejecting the cdrom?
I don't think there is such a command. I'm not 100% sure though.
2. Do you know if viruses exist in freebsd, like in
Windows?
I believe there used to be some viri for Unix-like OSs, but they are all 
pretty much harmless since they aren't usually found 'in the wild'.
A quick search on www.viruslibrary.com gave me one match [1] - maybe 
someone else can comment that.

3. When I issued a netstat command, and i see  
something like 192.135.15... connected to
192.262.33..., what is the command for terminating
such connections?

I don't know.
4. When I issued a alias ls ls -FGh how can I make
this alias for 'ls' permanent? And where are the
individual manpages for those built-in commands
located? 
Check your shell's man page. Given that you are using csh(1) (which is 
root's default shell on FreeBSD) you should add such an entry in ~/.cshrc

5. Does any version of freebsd supports mounting,
reading, and writing of ext3fs partitions of linux? 

No.
6. Can freebsd turn off my monitor or any other
peripherals of my pc in a given idle time, like the
stand by in Windows? How?(just the link)
It definitely works w/ my TFT Screen.
Depending on your BIOS and how well it is supported, you might be able 
to use ACPI for power-saving purposes on FreeBSD 5.x

7. What is the correct way of rebuilding my ports? In
freebsd sources, I do a make buildworld and then make
installworld. How do I do it in my ports collection?
(e.g; make buildports, make installports??? :-)
Install /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and read portupgrade(1)'s man 
page. You might also find some other resources on the internet. Use your 
favourite search engine :-)

Phil.

Maybe.  ext2fs is supposed to be ext3fs with journalling, and ext2fs can 
be mounted with mount_ext2fs.  I could swear I've done this with ext3fs 
partitions, but can't recall when or where.

Your mouse and the mouse driver may have somewhat become out of synchronization.
In rare cases the driver may erroneously report synchronization problem and you

If this happens, disable the synchronization check code by setting the driver fl

 at the boot prompt:

Then, in the UserConfig command line, type:

Well, I haven't tried FreeBSD on my Centrino-based machine but use Linux

Re: Any 4.10 installation on asus pundit ?

[Phil Schulz]

my desktop machine using (I think) 4.9-Release. It started when I had 
to change the motherboard. The new one came w/ an SiS chipset that 
wasn't supported by FreeBSD. I solved the problem by adding a line to 
/sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c. It worked for a few weeks w/o any problems 
until I switched to RELENG_5_2 for various other reasons.
You might want to post what chipset your mainboard uses.

 - Chipset SIS 651/962
 - Lan Broadcom BCM4401

Neither do I have a mainboard w/ the same chipset as yours nor do I have 
any PC running RELENG_4 atm. But I had to apply sth similar to make my 
SiS-746(?)-based mainboard work under RELENG_4. I'm not a developer so I 
don't know if it's a good and clean solution but it worked for me back then.

In addition, I can't find the bfe0 network driver for the Broadcom

Re: Any 4.10 installation on asus pundit ?

[Phil Schulz]

The problem is I'm not a system developper either, and I only had the 
iso images for installation, so I will have to find a way to apply the 
patch.

You'll need the kernel sources installed. Then apply the patch and then 
re-compile the kernel. Basically you just need to add on line of code in 
the right place. If you have got the sources from CD and not updated 
them you will not need to rebuild  the userland. Check the handbook for 
details (chapter 9).

In addition, I can't find the bfe0 network driver for the Broadcom 
BCM4401 in the kernel configuration, but the 4.10 release notes told 
the bfe should be in.

 From bfe(4): The bfe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

Actually I forgot that 5.1 was released before 4.10 - my mistake. Indeed 
the driver seems to have been ported back to the 4-Stable branch.

Yes, but in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/errata.html :
(27 May 2004) The bfe(4) driver for Broadcom BCM4401 based Fast 
Ethernet adapters has been added but the release notes did not mention 
that.

I think you just need to add a line that reads
device   bfe
to your kernel config file and the rebuild the kernel.

You've probably downloaded the ports tree that comes whit a release. In 
order to get the latest ports you'll need to update the ports tree e.g. 
by using CVSup. Check the handbook at [1] on how to do that.
After you've updated your ports tree, go to /usr/ports/security/openssh 
and then type make install. You should then get the latest version of 
OpenSSH installed.

cups-base and cups-lpr - installing from ports

[Phil Reynolds]

I have satisfactory use of cups-base and cups-lpr, but I believe it
should be possible to install them somewhat more correctly, so that the
following happen:

1) The system's standard lpr command is replaced by the cups one,
   without any manual alteration to the PATH being required.

2) portupgrade -a ceases displaying the messages:

   **  'print/cups-lpr' is marked as IGNORE:
   is forbidden: Changes ownership of system directories
   (and the same for cups-base)

Naturally, it will be necessary to prevent make world installing the
standard lpr but I can already see how to do that.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Samba, Cups and Printing: Windows client gives Access denied

[Phil Payne]

Hi,

I've got an HP printer on USB port on Freebsd 4-Stable box. Printer is 
on /dev/ulpt0. Installed cups and printing from BSD is fine. 

Had samba installed and working great for filesharing. Now introduced an 
all printers share to share this printer. Printer is browseable from 
windows machine.

When I install this printer on a Win2K machine (and use local drivers) I 
get Access Denied, Unable to Connect. Unlike some other people's 
experience I cannot print to the printer despite this message.

I've found lots of references to others having this problem on BSD and 
LINUX on the web but no resolutions. 

Of course, BSD questions is where all the really clever people hang out 
so someone here is bound to know ;-)

I couldn't find any resolution in the mailing list archive so does 
anyone know of an answer or is this a bug in operation between Winblows 
and Samba?

Below is the global and printers sections of my smb.conf. This was 
generated by webmin but I do understand and have written smb.conf 
manually in past.

Thanks,
Phil

login.conf changes not being effected

[Phil Murphy]

I've been trying to test out some features in /etc/login.conf. I
created a user test, in a login class kids. I edited
/etc/login.conf to include:

kids:\
:daytime=10:\
:tc=default:

I ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf, and tried logging in as test. I
assumed that the user would be logged off in 10 seconds, but this did
not happen. I added:

:sessiontime=10:

and reran cap_mkdb. Still no effect. I reran cap_mkdb -v
/etc/login.conf and received a confirmation message. I have read, and
reread the manpages, googled, searched freebsd.org, bsdforums.org,
etc., and have found that others are experiencing the same problem. I
have not found any solution yet. Is there something I am missing? My
goal is to be able to restrict login times and duration.

I am running 4.9 on a celeron 1.3, 256 mb.

Thanks for any help.

Phil

Re: [possibly OT]: anyone attempt running IBm DB2 for Linux, under emulation on FreeBSD

[Phil Cryer]

Quoting Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 
 Can someone run IBm's DB2 for Linux, on a FreeBSD box? If so, will it 
 maintain stability even if at the loss of some performance versus running it
 
 on an actual Linux box? Does anyone have any experience with this, and/or has
 
 anyone out there tried this themselves yet? I have heard numerous success 
 stories running Oracle for Linux under FreeBSD... but have thus far been 
 unable to find anyone trying IBM DB2 with FreeBSD.

While not completely related, I have been running DB2 at work for a test
database running on Gentoo Linux.  Since Gentoo is not an RPM based system (DB2
is only distributed as RPMs I believe) I had to install RPM, but after that,
this doc walked me through getting it installed:
http://kjeldahl.net/db2/

So, the point being, is that DB2 *can* work on non-RPM systems.  For FreeBSD,
you'd need to install RPM:
$ whereis rpm
rpm: /usr/ports/archivers/rpm

..and try to follow some of the above instructions.  With the Linux capabilties
installed, I'd think it might work.  I'm still Goggling your query myself

It looks like someone has successfully installed the DB2client on FreeBSD (they
installed on a Linux box, and moved the files over)
http://www.khmere.com/resume/bsd_db2.html

Also, this page seems to infer that it's been done, but the link to BSD Today
takes you to serverwatch.com, and I can't find the article there.
http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?story_id=1289

Here an IBM'r comments on the viability:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-March/000533.html

If I were you, I'd post this question to:
http://www.idug.org/idug/db2/listserver.cfm

Re: Changing gtk application fonts outside of gnome (Answer)

[Phil Payne]

Hi,

Caveat, I'm no GTK/Gnome expert so if someone wants to pick holes, feel 
free...

Did some further digging around on the web and I've concluded that the way to 
ensure your GTK apps appear as you want (font wise) outside of gnome is:

If you want anti-aliasing ensure the following environment variable is set:
 GDK_USE_XFT=1
Thanks to Matthew for that.

To change the default font for GTK1.* apps then add the following lines to the 
file ~/.gtkrc (or create it if it doesn't exist):

style default {
font = -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
}

Note... using full font definition.

For GTK2 based apps then things have changed. Need to add the following line 
to the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0, outside of any style definition if you want it to 
be global. (I believe that within a style definition you use the font_name = 
 format):

gtk-font-name = Helvetica 12

Note the switch to using shorthand font names.

Hope that helps anyone else stuck as I was.

Cheers,
Phil.

 Hi, Phil. Are you using the GTK2 versions of Evolution and Pan? 

Both gtk1 and gtk2 are installed.

If I do a pkg_info -Rr on the relevant packages they have a dependency to gtk2

 pkg_info -Rr evolution-1.4.0_1 | grep gtk
Dependency: gtk-2.2.2
Dependency: gtkhtml3-3.0.5
 pkg_info -Rr pan2-0.14.0 | grep gtk
Dependency: gtk-2.2.2
Dependency: gtkspell2-2.0.4

 Are
 you also reverting back to the default (ugly) GTK2 theme? 

OK... my gtk/gnome familiarity is limited. How do I tell?... and how do I 
change this?

 If so, Try
 putting the following lines in either ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession (as
 appropriate):

 *
 #!/bin/sh

 # sample ~/.xinitrc
 export GDK_USE_XFT=1
 gnome-settings-daemon 

I gave this a go and it didn't appear to change anything. What are these 
commands attempting?

 exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker
 *

 Then restart X and see what happens. I had this problem myself, and
 had other people ask on the Libranet users' list.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of discussion about how to control GTK fonts 
outside of gnome without a coherent answer. Any further help is much 
appreciated.

Sorry for being such a newb about GTK sutff. Have been working with FreeBSD, 
KDE and related apps for sometime with no problems but thought I'd give 
windowmaker and other apps a go... expand my knowledge etc... but having 
trouble.

Cheers,
Phil.

Changing gtk application fonts outside of gnome

[Phil Payne]

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 4-stable, XFree86 4.30  windowmaker 0.80.2. Default 
resolution and bitdepth is 1280x1024x24.

Whenever I start GTK based apps (e.g. evolution, pan) I'm finding the 
application font size is too small to be readable. I've had a search through 
the mail archives and googled but I can't find anything explaining...

... how to change the default font for GTK apps outside of a gnome 
environment.

Does anyone know if/how this can be done easily?

I mean... I could lower the resolution but that feels a little defeatist. 

Please include me personally on the reply as I won't be receiving the list 
email for a while.

Thanks,
Phil.

Howdy,

When trying to execute radlogin I keep getting this error message:

Dyslexia screening

[Phil Teare]

Hello,

I'd like to take this chance to let you know about Instines the Smart Computer-based 
Dyslexia Screening. FREE evaluation CD-ROMs will only be available until Feb 2003. So 
if you think you're interested read on. 

It's main aim is to enable professionals with or without specialist training to 
quickly, cost effectively, but most of all accurately screen teens and adults for 
dyslexia. It's pioneering use of artificial intelligence makes supervision simple, and 
the diagnosis extremely accurate (currently 98% +/- 2% concurrent with an educational 
psychologist). 

The subtests are designed to be both highly indicative of dyslexic traits, and very 
user friendly. But don't take my word for it, try it your self.

Simply reply to this email with your postal address, and we'll send you a free 
evaluation CD for use on all MS windows platforms. 

Kind regards,
Phil Teare

Re: [Samba] Samba 2.2.6 bug with Windows XP

 Is this a bug or what...

 I created the groups machines:201, and admins:200.
 Added every user with the command smbpasswd -a username
 Also added every machine with this command smbpasswd -a -m

 Edited the password file via vipw
 And added the lines in it corresponding
 machine_name$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for a

If all the machine accounts have a uid of 201 that would explain the problem.  each 
machine account must have a unique uid.  (The message stating that you need a dollar 
signe on the machine name in the smbpasswd command is mistaken.  The dollar sign 
only appears in the passwd file, smbpasswd adding it when creating the smbpasswd 
entry.)
