Re: Analog Modum

2003-02-01 Thread Rick Hamell

 I'm looking for a analog modem. I didn't see any in the hardware lists.
 Can you please tell me which ones will work on FreeBSD?

99% of all modems are analog. There are some digital modems, but
they're rare. But you need to be careful, because DSL routers are
sometimes mislabeled as Modems, even though they're technically not.

Re: adduser

2002-12-29 Thread Rick Hamell

 Negative PR ?
 I do my best to promote it.
 That does not mean being uncritical.
 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.

Look it /etc/adduser.conf remove the user name there and leave that line
blank. I've run into the same issue until I realized it was setup so that
you could force user names to have a part in common.

 Seems to me that this is an invitation to government 
 regulation -- interfering with the mail is a criminal
 offense for good reason.

Email is not regulated by the government.

Re: Belkin USB 2.0 PCI Card problem

2002-12-28 Thread Rick Hamell

 I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, but the system doesn't seem to
 detect the card.  I've tried scanpci, pcitweak, and pciconf to see if
 the card shows up there (I'm not sure if those utilities actually scan
 the PCI bus, or just report what's been scanned before, but...) and
 still, it's not there.  I've included dmesg.boot below for those
 interested.

Even though it's PCI - you sometimes need to assign an IRQ to it
CMOS. Also try pulling out all other cards like sound or NIC and see if
it's seen that way.

Re: Does FreeBSD work on Walmart's $199 Microtel box?

2002-12-06 Thread Rick Hamell

  A quick web search didn't bring up any answer to this.
  Does anyone here have the definitive word?
 
 The most recent machinine I saw was running what seemed a fairly stock
 Debian. So I'd expect you'd have little trouble up to console use; X 
 may be compounded by the use of some highly integrated chipset.

I recall seeing an article where Walmart was loading Lindows on
their machines... is that still happening?

Re: Strange WWW problem

2002-12-02 Thread Rick Hamell

 Are you saying that your httpd access log shows the hit and that the
 document was served, yet the client is getting 404 (or some such)
 errors?  If so, have you tried launching `ethereal` (or your favorite
 protocol analyzer) to see exactly what is going on at all levels?  If
 nothing is apparent in the error logs, access logs, messages, or other
 likely places then a thorough look at the actual transaction between the
 client and server might not be out of place.  I realize that this isn't
 an answer, but it seems like the logical next-step.

Exactly... the part that is annoying me is that it's going through cycles
so it's hard to troubleshoot. I just looked a moment ago, and with 13
active httpd processes (max 20,) I was getting IE's page
can't be found message. Upped the processes to 30, now I have 6 active
and I can get to it at this moment in time. If I wait a couple of minutes,
it goes down again with only 10 active httpd processes.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look there as Ktrace was showing that everything
was going through fine also.

Strange WWW problem

2002-12-01 Thread Rick Hamell

For the last two weeks or so, my web server has stopped processing
requests after about 5:30pm or so until about 9:30 or later. I've checked
the logs and thought that the Nimbda virus was bogging my server down,
this was after I increased my MaxServers in http.conf from 10 to 20. Even
then I had 13 httpd processes running.

The weird part is that there will be periods of time when I can access any
of my web sites just fine for about 5 minutes or so before I start getting
The page Could not be found errors in IE. Nothing has changed recently
in the configuration, so I tend to lean towards being DOS'ed, either via
Nimbda or...? I'm seeing the attempts in my log, but right at this moment
I'm not seeing any new ones, only have 5 http process's active.. and still
can't access any of my domains via WWW.

Anyone have any ideals?

Rick

Re: Domains

2002-11-02 Thread Rick Hamell

 Well, I had a reply about one of my questions with one link to one
 site so I'm asking just this one question again to the list. I am
 wanting to buy and host a domain myself with apache on my freebsd
 box. I would like some recomendations on some companies that offer
 domains for a pretty good price along with the link to their
 website. Please include if the site only offers .com, .org, .net or

I go through www.directnic.com. $15/year

 all.Well, I said one question but I'm gonna ask another one but
 real quick. If I have my own domain and manage it with apache myself
 am I still limited to space? Do I still have a sertain amount of
 content in MB's or whatever that I can use? Thanks in advance

Nope... you're only limited to how much hard drive space you have, and how
much of it you've got mounted under /usr

PCCard

2002-10-16 Thread Rick Hamell


Can any one tell me the flag to force PCcard (when called in rc.conf,) to
run at half-duplex? Or... which man page I'm missing? Thanks much!
