 No.  Changing the number of inodes means recreating the filesystem,

Hi,
I've got a FreeBSD machine running X that I would like to use as an x2x
client. No I've managed to get it all working however there is a weird
problem.

The setup is that the FreeBSD screen is 1024x768 and the main screen is
1280x1024 (Debian Linux). If I move the mouse onto the FreeBSD screen I
can't access the bottom quarter. The mouse just won't go. It looks like

 Dear All ,

 Is it possible that i give a Normal (without wheel rights) user to

This is more to do with the FTP server than normal access. If you install
proftpd you can lock the person in their HomeDirectory using DefaultRoot ~

Also some software will lock someone in if you change their home directory
from

/home/user

to

/home/./user

 search/replace,
 and other voodoo, that ee isn't capable of.
 In general, I edit FreeBSD system files, php/html and related files.

Re: Server spinning out of control...

2003-07-28 Thread Rus Foster
We've got a server that occassionally becomes temporarily useless
 because the load average shoots up to around 150.0 or so, and then slowly
 winds down over a 2 minute period. I cannot seem to find the process which
 is putting so much load on the machine. I've tried running top with the q
 switch, as well as the I switch, and when top opens, I can't see
 anything consuming large amounts of CPU power or consuming much memory,
 but the load average will be incredibly high. There isn't anything unusual
 in /var/log/messages to indicate anything which might be causing the load
 average to go shooting through the ceiling.

Are you running any sort of spam filtering? Could a use put something in
their ~/.forward?

 Are you aware of any other system utilities that might be used to

I'm not sure if this will work on 3.4 but try the following

have vmstat running so you can see why the load is jumping. It could be
disk I/O issues or memory.

Also you want to track which processes are just starting. Do a google for
freebsd system accouting to see if that can be turned on.

 trying to figure out exactly what this Virtual FreeBSD is and how it
 differs from the vanilla FreeBSD.

OK as one of those companies that offer Virtual FreeBSD it is normal
FreeBSD. However what we basically do is run a jail on top of FreeBSD

If you look at all those domains they are hosted either by secure.net or

Re: Mounting a Samab share at boot time

Hi,
 Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to mount a Samba share from a remote
 machine on boot up. Presently I have the appropriate entry in /etc/fsatb,
 such that I can mount the share _once I am in multiuser_. I have figured
 out how to get the smbfs kernel module loaded at boot time, using
 /boot/loader.conf.


A workaround I can think of is set the noauto option in /etc/fstab then in
/etc/rc.local put mount /samba/shre

Hi,
If you are getting host not found it either meants that the hostname it is
looking up e.g. www.freebsd.org is wrong or does not exist. You might also
want to check /etc/resolv.conf. If you are just using wget to download one

There are things called winmodems and winprinters which do require Windows

However I've found FreeBSD to work on 99% of the hardware I've chucked at

 The closest I can come to determining the size of the output file from

You can get just the first coloumn of something by doing something like

du -k /tmp/ad0s1a.tgz | awk '{ print $1 }'.

That should help you a bit for that

 split it into pieces that will be turned into .iso files that will be
 fed to burncd.  I would like to capture the output of commands (e.g. ls

Could you do something like

You might have slightly nicer format if you use just the mount command
on its own. If you couple it with the awk command say

mount | awk '{ print $1,$2 }'

 Hello all,

 I'm not sure if it's exactly On Topic (I bet you'll let me know!), but
 here goes...

 I work in technical support, for a FreeBSD based, Internet Appliance 
 am after a way to gather some network quality information.

 I'd like to run some commands, one after another, have the output(s)
 added (appended) to a file, then, when all is complete, have that file
 sent to my email address.  I can then compile the data  make some sense
 of it, maybe...

 Stuff like: -

 hostname
 uptime
 ping -c 100 ftp.furrie.net
 traceroute ftp.furrie.net


Well you can do something like

(hostname ; uptime ; ping ; traceroute )  file

You might also find the tee command useful

I would think that it is a temporary glitch. freebsd.org requires that
your IP address has forward and reverse DNS setup. I've check and it does
seem to be ok now

Well as a techie I wouldn't buy from you. Before using any ISP I check the
following

The whois record. Yours is frankly offensive and also the address is
obviously fake.

Your own DNS servers. Do you have your own? You don't but you might fix
this.

Also your email address scream that you are just a kid, 18 tops. How much
experience do you have in running a hosting company? I run one and even
with 7 years expierence under my belt I still hit things I've never
encountered before.

 Hi all,

 Is there any way to tell what hardware is in a server without rebooting
 it and checking dmesg?

 I'm just looking for Processor type, memory, stuff like that. I know I
 can get the number of processors with sysctl, but nothing else there :(

 TIA,


Try the following commands for each bit

lspci List PCI devices
cat /proc/cpuingo - Cpu info
free - Memory Info
fdisk -l - Disk info

Hope that helps

 Hello,

 while pressing e.g. backspace or del in a screen session, the 'vbell'-message 
 appears.
 These Keys seems to be non-functional, thats very ugly.
 (Freebsd 4.7, ports/misc/screen)
 I read the manpage but couldn't find a workaround, maybe its terminal specific.

 Any Ideas?

I've had this. I found that with xterm I couldn't get DEL to work. There
are a couple of things to do. Firstly use a different terminal. rxvt and
aterm work. Also if you press CTRL-H that will work as the backspace.

Also try stty erase del key and see if that helps

 FBSD-4.7R

 on other BSD's, and with ftp(1), 'cd x*' will cd

 if there is more than one match.  i 'object'

Its not FBSD rather than the shell expansion. Depending on the shell it
will act in different ways. So best advice would be either hack the shell
source code or find a shell with different behaviour
