Re: Logo Contest
and for a personal thing of mine, would you please leave terms like decision makers out of here, i just have the certain feeling that youre referring to the manager type of person, who does not ever go to a serverroom or really look at anything important anyways. of course thats my subjective perspective, you might enlighten me on that one if you got some examples of decision makers who actually got an idea about how the world is really turning around. Okay Rob, you can have one FreeBSD box, on your desktop... Now it's 12... 12 in production and spreading. The people who make the decisions DON'T have a clue, they never experience the trenches as it were, and doubtful that they ever will. The problem is that Tech is a bowl of jello. Look at the color. Look at the jiggle... These guys who sign the bottom line and tell us, the workers, what to do have the say on what we get to use or not to use. (Unless you work in some far of neverland. If so, are they hiring?) And where do they get their info? was that really the question or are that facts, i mean, does FreeBSD really want to compete with companies, or do their own thing. Do there own thing? It would be interesting how you might quantify that? And I am not even encouraging competing with the other companies, but at least give a chance to those who have to. what was it from what ive read... freebsd core dev team is around ~200 peoples working on the code? how about giving them a chance to speak up their thoughts for a change? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributors/staff-core.html This would be the core team I refer to. do we? for a single person trying to speak plural... you got quite an ego there... we -- If you will recall was in quotes.

Re: FreeBSD 3.2
Greg,
Wow, talk about handcuffing. One thing I am interested in is if they apply
this policy to Microsoft/Sun/Oracle/{$Enterprise} software. Most
institutions I know seem to feel that since they've paid the big bucks for
this software they better stay up with the latest to be safe.
If this is the case for your situation you might want to encourage that
this to is required for such things as this server and what it is doing.
Enterprise or not they should see the business model for this.
Rob.
PS
If you *have* to stay at 3.2 you might want to consider shifting away
(IMHO) from packages/ports and start to work with the individual packages
themselves. Keeping in mind that if this is a production server you should
probably get a pre-production box with 3.2 on it and do your 'playing'
around there. FreeBSD is in the most part a good system to install
software on from the original source tar.gz.
eg:
- MySQL will install but you will have to place a fair amount of time
getting a proper foundation in place prior to actually attempting it.
(NOTE: Threads, compiler, make, etc.)
- PHP should be less of a hassle unless your ./configure line looks like a
short story.

Re: MySql Load balancing Solutions?
Drumslayer, The only problem with this is that 4.1 is stil considered Beta (not yet ready for production). I see little chance in convincing managment to utilize something beta for something so important. :( Forgive me for being possibly naive but from what I understand 4.1.X moved off of beta into Generally Available with a This is the current generally available (GA) release of the MySQL database server. It is recommended for most users. [ http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html ] Not necessarily saying it's bomb proof but I don't know if they classify it as beta anymore. As well if it means anything to you we would never have moved our 'crticial' services to 4.1.X from 4.0.XX if we didn't believe it was ready.

Darwin on FreeBSD
Hello everyone, I have successfully installed Darwin on freebsd using the ports tree, thank you [EMAIL PROTECTED] My question is in regards of the whole operation, has anyone successfully got this application to operate behind a natd firewall running only through port 80? I believe I followed the installation and setup but have the following if I try to connect through a natd/firewalled port 80: Connection via browser with quicktime plugin brings up the quicktime control (using the embed tags as described in the manual) and a Connecting message. Then after a bit it outputs a 10060: Disconnected message. Yet when I connect via a browser not through the natd/firewall port 80 it works. Checking sockstat -c on the darwin server shows an active connection on the 554 port from the quicktime client machine... From what I understood of the admin document: Ports used to communicate with client: 554, 7070 TCP -or- 80 TCP Ports used to send media through: 6970-6999 UDP, -or- 80 TCP Ports server will stream through: 554 RTSP 7070 TCP -or- 80 TCP I did use the MakeRefMovie (Win32 Apple Only) application to create a 'reference' movie to the server. It still doesn't work. Has anyone had success making Darwin use port 80 'only' for streaming media out to the world from machines behind natd/firewall situations? Or is the only option to open up 554 or 7070? Thank you in advance for any and all help.

use this syntax:
INSERT INTO user SET Host='localhost', User='username',

You will have to identify your table first, use:

plugged in using a etl certified (whooie) cat-5e to:

the following:

10baseT/UTP full-duplex == 30% packet loss
100baseTX half-duplex == 70-80% packet loss
100baseTX full-duplex == 95-99% packet loss
Looking back at some older posts I see that this card seemed to have some
problems, I was hoping though that someone had a idea or suggestion to get
this card to go a tad bit faster.
I have tried using media autoselect to which it goes to 100baseTX

the first autonegotiation.

Re: updating 4.8-4.9 did it take?
Hello, For all of us text based mail client users, please try to wrap at a single screen width. Just so we get this right, you cvsup'd 4.9-RELEASE and then ran /stand/sysinstall? I might be out to lunch but I think you are going in two different directions. cvsup'ing down source and then upgrading is a good way but as far as I know does not require /stand/sysinstall. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. If you are cvsup'ing 4.9-RELEASE sources to your computer you need to follow the directions that go along with this means of upgrading. You can view them here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html This is AFTER you have cvsup'd the 4.9-RELEASE (or whatever sources you choose) down to your system. If you really like sysinstall and want to use that, I believe your best bet is to create installation meda, floppies or a CD-ROM, and reboot it with these. Selecting UPGRADE is probably a good bet for you. As well when you do your upgrade at some point you will have to reboot, which if everything has gone well, will replace the 4.8 kernel with a new 4.9-RELEASE kernel.

Re: Installation Hang
Nick, Alt - F2 will give you a screen of console messages that were experienced during different stages of your installation. Look for error messages or messages that have been printed in FULL CAPITALS. Bin is the first major read operation from the CD-ROM that occurs using the FreeBSD drivers and since you say it doesn't boot the CD-ROM sometimes after reboot I'm lead to believe that you are having problems here. 1 - (Easy) Disable the CD-ROM in BIOS and try a Floppy - FTP install. Does it still hang up? 2 - (Remotely possible) Does your CD-ROM exist in your system on the same IDE channel as the HDD? If so and you are using any of the ATA options you might try and split it from the HDD and put it into the second chain. In other words unplug the CD-ROM from the one cable and use the other cable in your system. I hope that these ideas help you out. R.

I've tried from CD, booting from floppies and then using FTP (a variety of FTP servers), booting from floppies then using the CD.

It seems to be a common problem based on what I've found by googling (look for Extracting bin into /) : but I haven't found an answer. This is really frustrating because I see so many other people that had the problem, without finding an answer. One person had the ftp install work after the cd install hung, but this is not the case for me. And I left the installation running the first time, for like 8 hours; it wasn't a matter of not letting it do its thing. During the install I can switch to other consoles, but after it hangs it doesn't seem to let me.

FWIW, I doubt the accuracy of that last paragraph, and don't think
this is so seemingly far fetched at all. :-)
Considering the high demand for consumer's purchasing 'their' products, a
mishap like My server can't run at high cpu due to it crashing is part
and parcel to shooting yourself in the foot as a manufactuer.
If you buy a MB/PROC that cooks just by operating as a server, which in
most cases what FreeBSD will be used for, and you know that it 'may'
crash or lockup due to heat, don't use FreeBSD.
- or -
Buy hardware that won't cook out.
R.
PS
Have you both tried to run 4.#-[CURRENT/STABLE/RELEASE] to see if the
problem goes away?
I have a related problem. In my case, it's a borrowed laptop on which
I installed FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT (quite a while ago, but last
{build,install}{kernel,world} was circa July 2003). Also installed on
the system is Windows 2000 Professional. The related problem I have
is that I can fairly easily get the laptop to power off due to
thermally-initiated shutdown using FreeBSD (complete with current
temperature has exceeded system limits type messages on the console
beforehand), but can't seem to do so via Win2K. :-(
Now I know that in a sense this is apples and oranges, because I don't
do precisely the same things under both operating systems. But, it
seems that high-CPU/system activity under FreeBSD will ultimately lead
to a thermal shutdown, but not on Win2K (no so far as I've been able
to manage, anyway). This is inconvenient, to say the least. For
example, a FreeBSD buildworld or buildkernel will not complete; it'll
get part way through before the machine becomes too hot and shuts
itself down. Similarly, building big ports like Mozilla won't
complete, which makes portupgrade a bit of fun. Needless to say, this
system doesn't get updated much. :-)
Now I'm not saying the machine doesn't become physically hot when
running Win2K, too. It does (e.g., when playing CPU-intensive games,
etc.). But somehow, Win2K is able to manage things so that the system
does not become so hot that the shutdown kicks in.
So, I'm wondering if there's some sysctl or other knob that can be set
in FreeBSD that will ameliorate this problem. (I thought
laptop/mobile CPUs generally were able to step down to lower clock
speeds to conserve power/run cooler, for example.) If I could do
system rebuilds and port builds without having to restart that'd be a
big improvement! :-)
Unlike the original poster, this is an Intel-based system, not Athlon.
It's a Gateway Solo 450 laptop. If I didn't know better, I'd think
that Gateway engineered (pah!) this system so it would run Windows
okay and that's it as far as they're concerned. ;-) FWIW, attached
at the end of this message is a copy of /var/run/dmesg.boot in case
anyone can suggest something to help.
Cheers,
Paul.
PS: I'm glad I'm only borrowing this laptop and didn't buy it!! The
owner of the laptop only uses Windows, so this is only a problem for
me running FreeBSD.

Re: Overheating attributed to Freebsd --sysctl variables notavailable--
Forgive me for saying: If this system is borked with FreeBSD due to the cpu's not cycling 'down', then use a different operating system. FreeBSD is not responsible for your trouble if you can solve the problem by moving on. Doing so and solving the problem is more important than holding the OS and the contributors to it accountable to something so seemingly far fetched. One way to test overall integrity of your hardware is to boot to bios and leave it. Does it bake out on you? Then there is definitely something wrong with your hardware, perhaps a fan is spinning less rpms than when new. In my humble opinion this is probably not associated with the OS, but, that doesn't solve 'your' problem. So besides seeing it for myself I can't see an absolute need to use FreeBSD, in your words the problem, and not use some other [$]NIX. One last thing, if your CPU's are baking out and crashing, are you not nervous that under load this will happen no matter what the OS? Tweaking system variables will not help you if your server is working ultra-hard, at some point you will reach a mark that your system should still be able to do which currently it can't. I doubt hardware manufactuers put out equipment that can't run at 100% at least. My 2 cents. R. On Mon, 3 Nov 2003, nw1 wrote: Both the board(s) and the processors were RMA'd.

Re: help me!
Hello, This is just a suggestion and may or may not solve your problem: 1) Start with brand new floppies, right outta the pack. 2) Maybe change the mirror site, although this is kinda gasping for straws. 3) Try the iso's and shoot for a CD-ROM install.

Re: Verifying integrity of Backup Tapes
Rick, I'm not to sure of a best method for checking the tapes, I might tar'ing a massive file to the tape and then back to see if it is working. Unfortunately during the use of your backup schema the tapes have to degrade. If it's a DLT400 tape or even a DDS# series I can see the need to hang on to them for some time to insure the cost of the media was repaid. Might it be best though to question the integrity of using a media that may have reached it's usable lifespan? As well depending on your method of backup, say full, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. one tape that has a problem with the data on it will throw the entire sequence of backups. And if you have full backups, skipping the incremental, you might save yourself the hassle of a wrecked sequence of incrementals, yet the entire concept of backup is lost with bad media. I'm just trying to give you some ideas on how to go from here, not trying to critisize you on something you probably are already thinking. R.

Re: ftp with user root
Hello, bootptab means you are using your server in a working environment, so consider not using an unsafe method like ftp to get the file from A to B. If your lan is TOTALLY non-public and has no ways for access you can open up ftp for user root by modifying the /etc/ftpusers file and knock out the root entry. You will have to HUP inetd as well as make sure the ftpd line is not remmed in /etc/inetd.conf. If though you have access to edit/change ftpusers then you have enough privilege to ftp up this file to a non-important user and then make a chown root:wheel after you have placed and moved the file. The key to remember is if you leave root as an ftp option and forget to undo the changes you most likely will lose the fear of leaving such a beast as root-ftp access open and continue to use it until one day when someone using a variety of means captures your root password on the clear text ftp protocol. Have you considered: sftp - Allows you to access the system in a secure like method including placing files from a client to server. nfs - Allows you to operate on the files directly with a preplanned who can and who can't access the files. Standard login takes care of the rest. Hope this helps. R.

Re: Users mySQL User
Holgar, No. MySQL supports users through the database manager itself. Once MySQL is running on the system you can add users to the user table found in the mysql database. Remember to 'flush privileges' once this is done to make the changes apply. It would also be a really good idea to think/learn about this process before implementing a production level system using this setup. eg: -- Checking out the MySQL documentation at http://www.mysql.com/, a sample of this: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/General_security.html -- Planning 'how' your databases will work as far as access privileges.

Re: IPFW ICMP
Hello, Someone correct me if I am wrong, but, snort as with other traffic shapers and dumpers take actual traffic from the network card prior to the firewall/kernel getting it. The rule is in place and as long as you see numbers in the first two columns in the following command: ipfw -a l [INSERT_YOUR_FW_RULE_FOR_ICMP_BLOCKING] # 0 2300 deny icmp from any to me via ed0 then your rule should be fine. If it's zero then the rules above it are stopping any activity that this rule might have on incoming packets. R.

The rule is working, I am getting measured stats but the problem is snort is seeing them and reporting them. I thought that by firewalling ICMP snort would stop noticing them. If I'm wrong in my asumption I would certainly like to hear it. Here is the fierwall rule I applied. deny log icmp from any to me via ed0 There are some TCP and IP rules above that but I don't see that causing anything to skip over the ICMP rule. And snort is seeing them as I did a quick search through ACID.

Re: Formatting a floppy - Help required.
Hello, Usually any type of floppy error can be associated with a 'bad' floppy. If you've ever taken a floppy apart you will quickly realize that the magnetic surface of the floppy has the feel and consistency of tissue paper. As well the majority of floppies are treated, myself included, as throwing stars or other dust to be introduced by how I treat it methods. If I were you I would try a new floppy and see if you can format then. You as well might look into the /etc/disktab file close to the top for other instructions on how to format a floppy. NOTE: I have gotten error messages using FreeBSD/Linux/Tru64 and no messages on a Win32 boxen on one floppy. Then trusting the Win32 I ended up losing data later when it finally reported that the floppy was no good. I hope this helps somewhat. R. PS I have heard that manufactuers only warranty their floppies for 3 months from time of manufacture. That and the relative slow transfer speed makes you wonder why we haven't moved to other more sexy methods of booting up.

Re: logitech usb camera driver and setup howto
jens, As far as I know there is no current running application or device driver for the USB Camera from Logitech. They (Logitech) have not been forthcoming with their support for other operating systems then the usual. The SDK's are for Win32 systems and don't really help too much besides give you some possible ioctl() calls... ugen# is the generic device driver for USB and picks up the wording Logitech Camera from the device using general USB commands. I also believe that the traditional Linux stuff runs on FreeBSD in this case does not apply, at least for me... I am working on a driver but have been very frustrated with the lack of Logitech's support and information crucial to interfacing with this device. If someone has already cut code or is willing to work with me or me with them please let me know. R.

Re: your mail
J, I had the same problem for a while and gave up on the floppies. I created a bootable CD-ROM and booted from it through the SRM console. There are bootable ISO's in the ALPHA/ directory on the ftp.freebsd.org (and mirrors) server. In the SRM I found out which drive was the CD-ROM and told the console to boot from it. After the darkness and reboot of the SRM it booted and loaded the cdrom fine. I'm using 4.8-RELEASE on a Alpha 1000a on a EVA5. It's a little pokier than I remember on Tru64 4.0F but I am much more comfortable with FreeBSD and the lack of License Paks on this hardware. R. PS If you know more power to you but: 1 - To see which drives were identified by the SRM console type: show config The drives should have funky names like dka#.0.0.#000.0 and the likes and a text string that 'may' identify the drive. 2 - Once you identify the drive you want to boot from type: boot dka#.0.0.#000.0 The screen will go black and you will re-post. Hope this helps.

Re: Finding your dynamic external IP
Hello,
AFAIK in 4.#(.#) releases, /var/db/dhclient.leases also has the current IP
in a block format:
eg:
lease {
interface de0;
fixed-address X.X.X.X;
on and on
...
}
NOTE: When a new address is assigned it is appended to the end of the
leases file.

If your external IP number changes, as with DHCP, is there a way

How would you do it?

Re: sendmail configuration
Hello, Are you using the default sendmail included with your copy of FreeBSD or have you installed a http://www.sendmail.org/ source/binary? If so (sendmail.org) you may want to return to the installation directory/cf/cf and attend your changes to the file sendmail.mc there and rerun the make install-cf command. If not you should be fine with the solutions provided by others. R. On 4 Aug 2003, Kirk R.
