Hi PJ,

I hope you won't take this the wrong way, it really isn't intended to
be an insult, but looking at your posting history I seriously wonder if
FreeBSD is for you.  You seem to want everything to just work without
having to think about it, so perhaps Windows would be better for you?
You ask questions in a very random way, try things without any clear
plan, and when given advice you seem to quickly move on to some other
difficulty rather than getting used to one thing at a time.  It does
take time and effort to learn to use FreeBSD effectively, but once you
have learned it (i.e., started to gain a deep understanding of how
things work separately and together rather than just managing to fix
things piecemeal without any real understanding) it works wonderfully
with a huge range of hardware and software.  If you do want to stick
with FreeBSD it might be better if you just sat down with the Manual
and read through systematically before trying to tweak things.  But my
guess is that you really would be happier and more productive with a
Windows OS.  That isn't meant to be a please go away and let us get on
with using FreeBSD, it is an honest reaction to the pain and confusion
you seem to cause yourself as you randomly try things in FreeBSD. 

Best,
Tony

 In PJ's case, maybe PC-BSD is a good choice. As far as
 I know, they offer a working Flash plugin that can
 be installed by their PBI system. I haven't tested
 this because PC-BSD with its KDE centric concept simply
 isn't my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean that it's
 not a good OS - hey, it's still FreeBSD. :-)
 
 Tony, I can understand that you might get the impression
 that PJ doesn't have a full understanding of the concepts
 and procedures needed to know in order to properly operate
 FreeBSD. This may be true. But he's constantly learning
 and understanding, and I think even with the troubles he
 likes to use FreeBSD (PJ, correct me if I'm wrong).
 
 When I came to FreeBSD (from a Linux and WEGA background,
 with lots of strange mainframe knowledge), I had similar
 trouble. I had many issues with C, too, before it became
 my primary programming language, but the fact that I can
 master FreeBSD now (at a sufficient level) is due to the
 fact that I had much good help, especially from this list,
 as well as much practice. Recognizing and resolving library
 requirements can surely be such a step into the right
 direction. It's not a state, it's a process.
 
 In the future, PJ will not only know that things work, but
 additionally understand *how* and *why* they work, and this
 will make him a master of FreeBSD, too.

Hi Polytropon,

thanks, I hope you are right, and I would love to see PJ become a
master of FreeBSD, but my impression from the mailing list is that that
progress is going to be too long and too frustrating.  I suppose only
PJ can know if he/she feels that progress is happening.  Nonetheless, I
stand by the advice to work systematically through the handbook and try
to gain a real understanding rather than a series of fixes.  I suppose
I was suggesting that rather than address endless frustrating symptoms
of what looks like a mismatch between PJ's character (not ability, I
certainly do not wish to disparage that - by character I mean a
reluctance to stand back, slow down and approach the learning
systematically and to give it the time it will need) and the FreeBSD
way of doing things, it might be better to just move to something
more pre-packaged.  PC-BSD may well be a good choice, I haven't tried
it.

Oh, and you are exactly right about the kind of understanding that can
come with spending time with FreeBSD.  But perhaps it's not for
everyone.  

Best,
Tony

Replying to myself, sorry.  I think I owe you an apology for a grumpy
response.  I think it comes down to the fact our learning styles must
be very different.  You seem to like to try things first and then try
to understand when things go wrong.  I like to gain a reasonably firm
theoretical understanding first and then try out things according to a
plan, keeping notes at each stage.  When something happens that I don't
understand then of course I learn from that.   I think we are just
different.  So no, I'm not suggesting you learn the manual by heart
before going any further.  I am suggesting that you *start* with the
manual, take it step by step, and only try things that might break your
system when a) you think you have a firm grasp of what you are doing
and b) you have a contingency plan to revert to the way things were
before if something surprising happens.  And, again, as part of a
learning style, when I do come across those uncomfortable surprises
(and I do), I generally assume that I must have done something stupid,
not that FreeBSD itself is stupid. That is also a learning experience
for me.

Best,
Tony

DVD drive not detected

2009-09-10 Thread Tony McC

Hello,

I am currently using 8.0-BETA4 amd64 and I noticed yesterday that my
PC's internal DVD reader/writer is not detected at boot time.  I'm not
sure whether or not this was the case with BETA3 since I don't use the
drive all that often.  It was certainly working ok with 7.2-STABLE
though.  I have copied and pasted the messages from dmesg.boot below,
in case that is of help in diagnosing the problem.  If I remember
correctly, it used to appear as /dev/acd0.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Tony

Re: Problem syncing Palm TX with jpilot on FreeBSD 8.0-BETA3

Marc Fonvieille black...@freebsd.org wrote:

First you need to have uvisor(4) loaded (compiled in the kernel or via
the loaded module). Last uvisor(4) revision was not merged in BETA3
so you will have to wait for the merge or directly grab it from

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c?rev=1.12;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=HEAD

replace you src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c with that one and rebuild
your module/kernel

Then if you plug your device and launch Hotsync on the Palm
a /dev/cuaU0 device should appear. You should check that.
If you have jpilot installed, palm/pilot-link tools are installed (be
sure it was compiled with USB support), so once the /dev/cuaU0 device
node is created you can type:

# pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -l

this should list the installed files on your device,

# pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b your_backup_dir

to backup your palm on your PC.

If these commands worked, then jpilot should work as well.

Marc, many thanks, that was a great help. I uncommented uvisor in the
kernel config file, installed the newer uvisor.c, rebuilt and installed
the new kernel. Pressing the hotsync button did indeed create
a /dev/cuaU0 but I had to add myself to the 'dialer' group to use it.
Palm syncing now works again with jpilot!

BTW, when might that newer uvisor.c be merged into the RELENG_8 sources?

Thanks also to Roland. I already had add path 'usb/*' in
my /etc/devfs.rules.

Best wishes,

Problem syncing Palm TX with jpilot on FreeBSD 8.0-BETA3

2009-08-26 Thread Tony McC

Hello,

I am running FreeBSD 8.0-BETA3 amd64 and am having trouble syncing my
Palm TX with jpilot.  This used to work with 7.2-STABLE amd64 and I
suspect I'm just not using the usb: connection correctly but have not
been able to find a solution by searching the archives.  

I am running a custom kernel with device uvisor commented out, though
the same problem occurs if I recompile with uvisor included. 

When I plug in the Palm TX I get the following at the end of dmesg
output:

ugen0.4: Palm, Inc. at usbus0
ugen0.4: Palm, Inc. at usbus0 (disconnected)

If I tell jpilot to sync with a Palm at usb: I get the following error
message:

dlp_OpenConduit() failed
Sync canceled
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_OPEN_CONDUIT
Finished.

I also have the following in my /etc/devfs.rules:

add path 'ugen*' unhide mode 0660 group operator

and I am a member of the operator group.

What should I set to get hotsync working?

Thanks all in anticipation,
Tony

mtree

2008-11-10 Thread Garcia, Tony

Another developer received approval to test mtree for our project.  He
has since left and no one knows anything about this application.  We are
looking at mtree as a way to provide auditing of machines for
permissions, ownership and date changes as well as performing cksum on
each file.   Is there any way you can point me to documentation that
gives me a high and low level of what mtree can do.  I've tried
compiling the version that was downloaded, but it fails because it needs
other files which are not present (like .h files).

 

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.  The google returns are far too
numerous to make heads or tails from.  I also have checked the freebsd
info but I can't find any documentation.  Thank you.

 what is virtualized FreeBSD?

 if you mean FreeBSD jails - yes it runs fine, i use them on 6.3p1

I think it's obvious he means running freebsd as a guest OS on some
kind of VM (VMWare, VirtualBox)
Yes Xen specifically.

Virtualized FreeBSD

2008-03-14 Thread Tech Valley Internet - Tony Kivits


Hello All,

I am currently running CentOS on a bunch of virtualized guest os's 
but need to upgrade them.  I see that FreeBSD 7.0 is 
virtualized.  Given a choice, I would rather use FreeBSD because of 
the ease of use of keeping the ports current.


I am just wondering if anyone has used the virtualized FreeBSD in a 
producton environment and if so what are the pros and cons?

eyeOS

2007-11-26 Thread Tech Valley Internet - Tony Kivits


Hello,

I have just installed eyeOS from the ports but have noticed that the 
port is a little out of date.


Has anyone had any success in updating to eyeOS 1.2 and if so, what 
did you have to do to make it work?


I have tried to run the update.php script but that seems to break things.

Thanks,
Tony Kivits

RE: Squid with a Net nanny type setup....

2007-11-25 Thread Tony

Thanks for the advice, I've noticed dansguardian and looked into it a
little bit, I've also blocked some words which works but doesn't work
because it kills some legitimate pages.

I've also tossed around the idea with my Fiancé about locking them down
to certain websites, but that is problematic with doing some school work
(kids are 9 and 11) I think what bothers me most is them stumbling
across something.

Say they are curious what the word milf means and they search for it...
that would be an eye opener!

So right now I have a list of words that are blocked from URLS and a
large number of sites blacklisted gathered from other peoples lists
scavenged from google.

Thanks for the replies,

Tony


PS squid is a very cool thing, and I can use MRTG to gather data and
display it, but it does seem to have some performance hit with surfing,
I moved it from my dually Pentium Pro 200 to my Dual p3 1Ghz and that
made a difference, now I just need some speedy Sata disks and a good
Sata controller.

Or much better yet, do it the way I do it.  Load Squid, setup the kids
system to use it, then setup squid to only allow the kids to go to a
list of sites.  As my kids learn about interesting sites they want to
go to, -I- visit those sites, and if I decide they are OK, I put them
in the approved list.

Stuff like dansguardian is, in my opinion, for lazy parents who want
to hand off their parental responsibilities to other people.

The other thing is that by the time the kid is 14-15 they should be
mature enough to make their own choices and deal with what they find.
At that time, if your still having to run filtering software, you better
turn off Internet access completely and schedule your kid in with some
sessions with a psychologist, as seriously, he's got a problem.

RE: who wrote this

2007-11-25 Thread Tony

I see that as an example of something that might be offensive on the
surface but we might not want to outlaw just as a matter of course.


For instance if someone submitted this for the fortune rotation:

Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all. 
Adolf Hitler

Or

He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future. 
Adolf Hitler

Or

How fortunate for leaders that men do not think. 
Adolf Hitler

I might consider the man to be a maniac but he did utter some truths,
Should we automatically disqualify them?

Resizing VMware Virtual Drive

2007-07-31 Thread Tech Valley Internet - Tony Kivits


Hello,

I am running a couple of instances of FreeBSD as guests on a VMware 
Server.  On some of these images, I would like to resize the mount 
points to accommodate future growth.


Has anyone found a simple process for resizing the mount points when 
they resize the virtual drives that FreeBSD sits on in a VMware host?


Thanks,

 Should give you a base64 encoding of some random data (base64 to prevent
 it from messing up your terminal) if /dev/random is working.

I meant to point if=jailroot/dev/random. Testing /dev/random for the
host OS isn't going to be too meaningful.

Thanks Chris,

I figured out what you meant.  ;)

I think with all my playing I managed to put a symlink in the dev 
directory that I can't get out.


I will try to do a reinstall of the machine and try all the 
suggestions on a clean environment.


Tony



Ok.  I now know what is happening.

The random and urandom devices are in the jail's /dev directory when 
the jail is created and the test you gave me to try did work once 
tweaked a bit.  But when I run the installation script for hsphere 
the two devices disappear out of the /dev directory.


The devices are then inaccessible for all processes until the jail is 
restarted.


I have looked in the usually log files and nothing is recorded there.

My configuration is as follows

# Jail info in host's rc.conf
jail_enable=YES
jail_interface=xl0
jail_devfs_enable=YES
jail_procfs_enable=YES
jail_list=cp
jail_cp_rootdir=/usr/jails/cp

/dev/random in jails

2007-07-18 Thread Tech Valley Internet - Tony Kivits


Hello,

I am attempting to run portions (if not all) of the software called 
HSphere inside of jailed subsystems of FreeBSD.  I am able to create 
the jails no problem but the devices /dev/random and /dev/urandom are 
not created automatically in the jail despite the fact that a handful 
of other devices are mounted correctly when the jail is created.


Is there a specific reason for these devices not being created in a 
jail or is there a way to create these devices so that they will be 
available inside a jail?


Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Tony

We run bind instances in FreeBSD jails. This is how we get /dev/random:

| # /etc/devfs.rules:
| [devfsrules_thin_jail=100]
| add include $devfsrules_hide_all
| add include $devfsrules_unhide_basic

So if my jail is called cp, the only thing that I would have to 
change from your scripts would be replace to replace cachingdns with cp?

  jail or is there a way to create these devices so that they will be
  available inside a jail?
 
 We run bind instances in FreeBSD jails. This is how we get /dev/random:
 
 | # /etc/devfs.rules:
 | [devfsrules_thin_jail=100]
 | add include $devfsrules_hide_all
 | add include $devfsrules_unhide_basic
 
 | # /etc/rc.conf:
 | jail_cachingdns_devfs_enable=YES
 | jail_cachingdns_devfs_ruleset=devfsrules_thin_jail
 
 Thanks Chris,

 So if my jail is called cp, the only thing that I would have to
 change from your scripts would be replace to replace cachingdns 
with cp?


Yes. Are you configuring the jail via /etc/rc.conf already? Are you
using the rc script /etc/rc.d/jail to start your jails?

My complete config from /etc/rc.conf is:

| # Enable jails
| jail_enable=YES
| jail_list=cachingdns
|
| # Caching-nameserver jail
| jail_cachingdns_hostname=ns1.example.com
| jail_cachingdns_ip=192.0.2.15
| jail_cachingdns_interface=bge0
| jail_cachingdns_rootdir=/var/jails/caching-dns
| jail_cachingdns_exec=/usr/local/sbin/named
| jail_cachingdns_devfs_enable=YES
| jail_cachingdns_devfs_ruleset=devfsrules_thin_jail

You can replace cachingdns with cp or whatever else you want. You can
also create multiple jails with different names.

I don't know if you're following the typical FreeBSD jail documentation
which gives you a complete FreeBSD installation inside the jail. Given
that I only need to run named, I have not done that.

Are you trying to run a complete FreeBSD install that allows user logins
inside your jail? Or are you simply trying to jail a single process? My
example above jails the single process named, and does not have an OS
install inside the jail's root.

Thanks Chris,

I am doing a complete OS inside the jail and am starting it through 
the rc.conf.


I have modified the devfs.rules so that they are now passing random 
and urandom as devices.  But the installation software is still 
reporting that /dev/random is not working properly.  Do you know of a 
way that I can test /dev/random to see if it is actually working?


Thanks again,

 Should give you a base64 encoding of some random data (base64 to prevent
 it from messing up your terminal) if /dev/random is working.

I meant to point if=jailroot/dev/random. Testing /dev/random for the

Re: Backing up FREEBSD

2006-12-12 Thread Tony Shadwick


As with what he said. :)  Dump and Restore are your friends.

Also, in a crunch:

tar -z -c -f /path/to/your/backup.tar.gz /filesystem

Do that once for each mounted filesystem, and make sure backup.tar.gz 
lives on another system, perhaps on an nfs mount.

Re: Setting up RAID-1 on 2 unequal disks

2006-12-11 Thread Tony Shadwick

I'd say use gvinum.  It's a bit trickyactually, it's VERY tricky. 
You have to get the geometry of the shared volume precisely right on the 
120GB drive to match the 80GB drive, then you can allocate the rest of 
the free space.


Honestly, you *could* cheat here. :)  I think

Set up your 80GB drive.  We'll call it /dev/ad0.

Plug in your 120GB drive but don't do anything to it.  We'll call it 
/dev/ad1.


dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1

Now, set up gvinum as though they were of the exact same geometry, and 
get your mirror going.  Then, go back and modify the drive label of ad1, 
and allocate the rest of the space on that disk.  You'll want to have 
gotten the REAL drive geometry of /dev/ad1 ahead of time, because (if I 
recall...) you're going to have to change c: to the correct geometry, 
then add partitions using space above and beyond what you have on ad0.


Does that make sense at all?   Perhaps you should work through setting 
up a normal gvinum mirror before going this route...

Hi all,

I unfortunately have 2 uneuqally sized SATA disks to set up a mirrored

/temp2GB (double the system memory)
/shared80GB
/   38GB

I plan to mirror /shared onto the 80GB. It won't be bootable, but I can 
always mount it onto another FreeBSD machine.


I've read some articles on mirroring on non-equal disks, notably:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/

My question is: is there an easier way to do this? The example looks 
quiet daunting for a noobie FreeBSD admin like me.


Appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.

Re: X server remote login

2006-12-09 Thread Tony Shadwick

I have to apologize, as I've never had x11 start automatically for me 
anyplace.  That said, you need to understand that the server/client 
relationship for X11 is backwards to what you might expect.  The 
display, keyboard, and mouse are at the x-server side, and the machine 
you connect to is the X-client.


On the xserver, if you want it to happen automatically, you would put 
startx in your .login file.  So if you wanted that flag passed, you 
would place startx -listen_tcp in your .login file.


On the client side, you're running an x-client, I presume that gets 
started from /etc/rc.conf.  There's probably something like 
xorg_enable=YES, and xorg_flags=blah, and you would put it in your 
xorg_flags statement.

Attempting to write a mouse driver for the GunCon2...help?

---BeginMessage---

I'm trying to figure this out, and I'm not sure what to do.

The GunCon2 is a usb device intended for the PS/2.  I have it's 
communications protocol worked out, FreeBSD picks the gun up and gives 
it two devices, /dev/ugen0 and /dev/ugen0.1.  ugen0.1 is a character 
device that I can easily read everything I need from the gun.  I even 
have a perl reference driver written that uses perl and the 
X11::GuiTest module to move the pointer and click, but it's too laggy to 
be of real use.


The gun has 10 (!!!) buttons.  The trigger, A, B, C, Select, Start, and 
the control pad (4 independent buttons).


I'm not sure whether or not the OS can support a 10 button HID mouse or 
not.  I've tried just getting the gun detected and so it creates 
/dev/guncon instead of ugen (even if it really is still using the 
general purpose driver) with no luck.  I have the product ID and vendor 
ID...I'm just not getting it.  Ideally I'd like to be able to use the 
gun for MAME.  It should function just like any other mouse though. 
Aside from lag issues, I have it doing that already.


Here's a link to what I have so far:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=60813.0

As per that link, someone wrote a driver for Linux, and also for the 
TopGun (a third party GunCon2 clone), but I'm not sure whether or not 
that code is portable.


Could anyone give me a hand with this?

Hi, I have a sony vaio that used to run windows me. 
  
   
the system no longer wants to recognize the restoration cd. 
  
   
I am not a microsoft lover so i decided to use something else. 
  
   
my cdrom didnt want to read any of the iso's i downloaded 
  
   
before like ubuntu, dream linux and so forth. i went to 
  
   
the library and found a book tittled freebsd in 24hrs 
  
   
with companion cd. my pc read the cd and i was able 
  
   
to install freebsd i believe version 4 or something 
  
   
like that. I am very happy with it but would like 
  
   
to update the freebsd.I tried to get the freebsd to see the internet 
connection 
  
   
so that i can update from within freebsd but i 
  
   
havent been able to get it to see the dsl 
  
   
connection that is connected to a linksys router.I was hoping you can help 
me either set up the 
  
   
internet connection in freebsd or at least 
  
   
suggest which of the files I should download 
  
   
from this xp machine so that i can burn a 
  
   
cd and upgrade my freebsd machine. i dont 
  
   
know if its alpha, amd or which of the 
  
   
files. and also when i select the one 
  
   
you may suggest do i click iso link, 
  
   
and also..do i burn all the files 
  
   
shown for that option? 
  
   
i.e. bootonly, cd1, cd2,

Re: Complete Port Removal Question

I would suggest using portmanager.  There is a method in there for 
displaying leaves, or installed packages in from the ports tree that 
have no dependencies, and allow you to safely remove them.


I'd say uninstall the software you don't want to remove, then have 
portmanager show you the leaves that are left, and remove the leaves.

Re: Headless upgrade from Linux to FreeBSD

There are ways to do this, but none of them are really good ideas.  If 
this machine has any uptime requirements at all, I wouldn't do it.


If you *must*, and you have a decent bootloader on the disk you're booting 
from now (grub?), and you have a second available disk, then you could 
create a bootable system on another box that is not headless and is local 
to you, install all of the software that you want, then dd that system to 
a single file, gzip it to make it as small as possible, transfer it to 
your redhat system, unzip the file, dd the image file back to the second 
drive, add the new system drive to grub's config file, reboot and pray.


I really don't think it's a good idea thoughbad bad bad bad bad.

If you're going to do it, might I suggest that ahead of time you recompile 
your fedora kernel to support at least UFS2 read, if there isn't safe UFS2 
write available now?  That way after you finish dd'ing the image to the 
second drive, you can view the filesystem and check for any mistakes you 
might have made, or make any adjustments that you think of at the last 
moment before you do that last reboot?

I've been using FreeBSD for a while - and I prefer it to all other

to the box, but I'd would like it very much to make a headless
upgrade.

It's a single-Opteron box with around 130Gb on a 200Gb SATA hard
drive, the internet bandwidth is about 20Mbit/s. In fact, I've already
tried to run FreeBSD-5.3 on this very box - without any problem. There
is no DHCP/DNS on the network it's connected to, so static
preconfigured IP-address is a must, as well as a pre-configured BIND
(or at least resolv.conf with one of my external DNS-servers).

I'm thinking about creating a large hard-drive image (with FreeBSD)
and somehow writing it on the hard-drive with an in-memory dd-like
tool. Can anybody suggest a better way? Maybe I could even save some
data without backing it all up on another server?

Re: web calendar program recommendation


What you're needing is a system, and not a single piece of software.

I would focus on the icalendar calendaring format.  Once you have that, 
then pick the piece of software you want to run on your local machine to 
sync against your palm, and have it publish your calendar to a webdav 
share or similar, then pick your piece of web calendaring software to 
manage that calendar from the web.  I have used phpicalendar, but last I 
looked it still did not support creating new items.  Perhaps Horde does?

One solution is to make a copy of all keys (with known passphrases)
when they are created, and put the copy in a secure location.  If an
employee leaves suddenly, you can retrieve the key to decrypt leftover
files and revoke the key.  Pgp.com's Windows PGP software uses special
Revoker keys and Additional Decryption keys that get added when files
are signed, so files are always encrypted to multiple recipients and
keys are always revokable even if the original key no longer exists.
gpg doesn't recognize ADKs, though.


Just so I'm following then, let's say I have gnupg installed on my server, 
and I'm creating all of my employee's secret keys there, then installing 
gnupg on their workstations so that they can use local mail clients to 
encrypt.


What's to prevent them from chaning their secret key passphrase or 
revoking the key themselves and creating a new public key, then publishing 
that to the keyservers? (Other than knowing enough about gnupg in the 
first place to do any of this of course...)


Not to mention I've always wondering how gnupg plays with multiple 
recipients or internal company mailing lists.  For example if I send a 
message to VIP1, VIP2, and VIP3, and it is an important internal document 
that requires encryption, when I encrypt the message, won't it get 
encrypted with VIP'1 public key, thus VIP2 and VIP3 won't be able to open 
the message?


Sorry to babble, but it really is important to me to get this down and 
documented.  It is very frustrating that I have clients that use no 
encryption on e-mail, even if they are sending sensitive account 
information. ()

GnuPG in the enterprise

2005-06-15 Thread Tony Shadwick

Are there any good documents out there on managing GnuPG in the 
enterprise?


There are basic issues I need to be able to address, such as a situation 
when an employee leaves a company.  The admin needs to have the rights to 
revoke that user's public key, and be able decrypt any old messages to 
that user, and be able to decrypt messages sent to that user that are now 
being redirected to someone else for handling.


Are there established mechanisms for handling centralized key management 
in a company to where the Administrator has access to everything required?

If you want two more identical drives then use dump, not tar, but you'd 
have to have them sliced/partitioned up the same beforehand and it 
wouldn't do bootblocks.



You would?  Why?  restore doesn't care where you're restoring to... you'd 
just need to make sure you were in / before restoring and then tweak 
/etc/fstab to suit...


I understood the question to be how to create two identical *disks* not two 
identical directory trees.  So unless the disks were partitioned and sliced 
the same before you used dump/restore then you wouldn't end up with identical 
disks.  If all you want is two identical directory trees, then slicing and 
partitioning are irrelevant.

Partitioning IS releveant in my situation, but they don't have to be 
perfectly the same.  We have a rather unique system setup on that box to 
where /var is insanely huge compared to the average boxen.  There are a 
few other requirements, but being perfectly identical isn't one of them. 
It needs to be running the same directory tree upon boot, and be basically 
the same system.

There are many methods.  If it was my situtation and it's only up to 32 GB
of space, I would do this:

1. Get a temporary computer with at least 32 GB available.  Set it up as a
file server (Samba) with FreeBSD.

2. Mount it as a NFS server.

3. Use cp -rp for those directories (etc, usr, home, and all the others). Also
write down the partitions.

4. Replace the single hard drive with 3 hard drives and set up RAID 5.

5.  Install the exact same partitions that you originally had on the previous
setup system.

6.  Mount the file share on your temporary computer system with the data.

7.  Copy everything back except those in /boot

8.  Modify the fstab file if there is a difference between the original and
the new setup.

I might have forgot something.

Re: system cloning


You expect too much of my RAID controller. :) Ghost won't do it because:

1.  There is only room for 3 drives in the system.  RAID5 requires 3 
drives.


2.  Ghost deals in partitions.  FreeBSD (usually) has one partition with 
many slices.


3.  Doubt it has drivers for my RAID array. :)

Re: FBSD 5.4-STABLE/3Ware Escalade 7506-4LP on dual Opteron issue

I'm not claiming this will fix your issue, but are you running the

Hi,

We're building out brand new dual Opteron box to run our public access unix

greatly appreciated.

For the most part, everything behaves fine.  We've got the system built and
installed.  Unfortunately, we're having a periodic, catastrophic failure
involving the 3Ware card.

Periodically, the system will partly lock up with the following errors:

twe0: unexpected status bit(s) 10PCIABRT
twe0: PCI abort, clearing.

I say partly lock up because the kernel does not panic, nor do the console
keyboard or network interfaces become non-responsive (i.e. you can type
stuff at the login prompt, and ping the server).  However, the disk
subsystem does appear to cease functioning once this has occurred.

Frankly at this point we are baffled, because the system is stable enough to
run for days on end under light load, and will even occasionally handle
periods of medium disk load (e.g. many hours of rsyncing from our live
server, build world, etc).

We have been using the bonnie++ hard disk benchmarking suite as a means for
recreating the problem, as follows:


mkdir testdir

If you are asking what portupgrade will do with the installed ports,
then there's nothing to worry about.  Just run portupgrade -a and it
will take care of building the necessary auto* ports too.

If you are using automake14 in software you write or build yourself
outside of the Ports tree, don't.  For an example of what may go wrong,

We can also provide this sort of thing for you, but it won't be anywhere

- No, I can't install a dialup server in our corporate datacenter.
- No, I can't setup a freebsd server in satellite office.

You really want to leave the standard system UIDs and GIDs in place, and use

experience using it?  I found a lookupd utility that looks promising, but
I'm leery of implementing it in production as it seems like fairly untested
software.


lookupd has been around for close to fifteen years, and has been used with 
large user/group databases (50,000+ users).  More to the point, the PADL 
stuff ought to play nicely with lookupd, since PADL came from the NEXTSTEP 
and now MacOS X community where lookupd originated.


I am not sure that lookupd has been used or tested or shaken down as much 
with FreeBSD, so the integration with PAM may not be as mature as it's usage 
with the nss_ mechanism.


However, if you really want nscd, I'd imagine that you ought to be able to 
hunt that down from Sun now that the source code for Solaris 10 is openly 
available...?

Re: 12TB GEOM stripe, newfs, then fsck: cannot alloc 768053748 bytes for blockmap

Just curious, what happens if you run the fsck with -f?  Since it isn't 
production I won't feel bad if it clobbers something. ;)

Dear everyone,

this is not an important issue, but I'd like to ask anyway,
just in case the solution was obvious:

I've bundled three 4TB RAID boxes using GEOM::stripe into a
single 12TB volume. I didn't partition it, I just created UFS
on it using newfs (a dangerously dedicated volume).
This is not a production setup, I'm just testing the hardware.

I thought fsck would be a plausible benchmarking tool.

-bash-2.05b# fsck_ufs /dev/stripe/data
** /dev/stripe/data
cannot alloc 768053748 bytes for blockmap

* FILE SYSTEM MARKED DIRTY *

After a forced mount, the 12TB volume works fine. It just
can't be fsck'ed.

The machine is a dual Xeon/Nocona + i7520, with 2 GB of RAM,
running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE with an SMP kernel.

Any ideas are welcome :-)

This is a hard question.

Coda and AFS (Andrew's file system) both attempt to solve the home dir
problem.   They are both known to be a headache, and not always stable.
(though some very large installations use AFS, so it must work once
you sacrifice the right breed of goat or whatever it is you have to do)
 They are worth investigating.

Consider connecting laptops via VPN, even when in the office.   Only a
fool would have a laptop these days without wireless networking, and
wireless isn't secure by default.  A VPN is just one solution, but
since it solves the out of office issue (so long as you have network
connectivity somewhere, which isn't a given) so it might be the best
way to go.   Or maybe not, like I said, consider it.

I don't know how to solve the login problem.

If your company has money (with only 25 workstations this is unlikely)
you should hire a couple developers to work on a solution.   Perhaps
you can find a project that is working on parts of this and donate
money?   I don't know of any, but if you find them.


Ooohgood call on the vpn.  Set it up to where they have a local user, 
and local home directory, vpn in.  Okay, so now I'm on the network, 
presuming the pptp server was authing against OpenLDAP or NIS.  Add a

if they didn't nicely disconnect, then we don't know who's copy needs to 
be updated, the local copy or the remote copy. :\


I'll look into Andrew's File System.  That's a bit of a misnomer on the

Can you setup subversion or some other.   As a programmer I don't
backup my home directory at work because all my important work is kept
in CVS anyway.
(or it is a work in progress from today, and wouldn't be on a backup
if there was a crash)  The CVS server is backed up, and I check in
often.

Teaching management to use it will be hard.  However if yours are among
those [few] who get it, they will love you for giving it too them.  MS
Word doesn't allow diffs against documents, but perhaps you can teach
subversion to diff OpenOffice.org (or whatever you use) files.

It is a long shot, but it solves your problems, and although more work
is also a net gain.

I suppose I should give a plug for the company I work for as well:
Our rocketVault with continuous backups (basically rsync) can backup
your laptops when they are in the office.  Since most laptop uses don't
roam between machines they don't need the shared home directory so much
as a backup.   It is a completely different solution than the one you
are thinking of, but it might solve the laptop problem good enough, and
let you worry about other issues.   (www.intradyn.com)


Thanks, I don't mind the plug either.  I'm working out and documenting 
solutions to these types of issues right now.  It is still just 
theoretical, adn not an actual customer need, but I see it going that 
direction as soon as I try to implement it in a live environment.


Do you guys have your software in the ports tree for easy installation? :)

If you're going to be updating two trees of stuff not always in sync, a 
version control system like CVS or SVN might be worth considering.  Used 
carefully, rsync will also deal with this pretty well, but you would be wise 
to have known-good backups before trusting rsync --delete to merge.

Nowadays, that's true.  However, CMU was using AFS before Apple sold 
computers which could do ethernet, and it's quite possible that Andrew even 
predates the introduction of the original 128k Macs.


It's Andrew File System, BTW, no possessive: named after Andrew Carnegie 
and Andrew Mellon, who are the C and M from where the system was 
developed.  :-)

Yeah, I didn't mean Apple had first dibbs, I'm just saying waking up to 
your random tech, and regard to file storage, you say AFS, 9 times out 
of 10 they'll think you're talking about Apple File Sharing. :)


I'm seriously going to look into that.  Version control would be awesome 
if I could script it and not have the user needing to mess with too many 
command line switches and such, and I agree, they would love me for it. 
The trick is that in most companies, the laptop users are the VIP's.  The 
people that decide if you still get money from them or not. :OP  So yes, 
they would love the benefits of being able to roll back a file to an older 
version if they screwed up, but these same people are usually the ones 
that want the least hassle with using the computer.


All of the toys, but none of responsibilities or pitfalls for having said 
toys.  Gotta love it. :\

Do you have MAXDSIZ set in your kernel?  And what about any limits?

Re: Bootable CD with virus checking for NTFS


On Wed, 8 Jun 2005, Brent Wiese wrote:


I've been searching around for a bootable CD that can virus fix NTFS

I've found several CD's based on Linux that will check in RO mode, but none

Pipe dream?

Heck, doesn't even need to be free as long as the cost is reasonable.

Just so extra emails aren't generated, I've tried:

Helix
Ultimate Boot CD (this one claims NTFS RW, but when I boot, it appears to be
RO... Haven't actually tried using on an infected system yet)
Auditor
Whoppix


Just so you know, I'm pretty sure all of the LiveCD's go RO by default, 
even if the kernel is compiled to allow RW.  That's just a safety 
precaution against users that don't know the limits and dangers of writing 
to an NTFS volume.  You can still pop open a terminal and re-mount it RW 
by hand, although I would suggest running clam (that's what you're using, 
right?), and if you FIND a virus, mount it RW and either remove it by hand 
or run clam again again allow clam to clean up the mess then.

Re: 5.x, LDAP and caching uid/gid data


Hmm

Just based on my past experiences with NIS (working on learning LDAP as 
we speak), one would normally have SOME local user data.


For example, a local sendmail user, a local root user, if you're running a 
MySQL daemon locally, you'd have a local mysql user.


I think?  Someone could correct me if I'm wrong here, but I see little 
benefit from having the smmsp user being in ldap and not local to the 
machine.  Feel free to prove me wrong on this though. :)


I'd still be interested in hearing about ldap caching, as it relates to me 
earlier question about laptop users and centralized auth.

There's no user information on the local system at all, so every operation
that requires UID/GID information had to do an LDAP lookup to get UID/GID
data.  So, for example, every piece of mail delivered means an LDAP lookup.

Is there such a thing as nscd for FreeBSD, and if so, has anyone had
experience using it?  I found a lookupd utility that looks promising, but
I'm leery of implementing it in production as it seems like fairly untested

Failing nscd or a similar thing, are there other ways I can cache this

Re: Azureus Update Problem

What I suspect is happening is that you're running as a user with 
decreased priveleges, but you have a global install of azureus (installed 
in /usr/local/bin).


Azureus is probably presuming you have the rights needed to do the update, 
and never bothers to check or ask otherwise. :\


If there *is* an update to azureus, I'd check to see if it is in ports, 
and just portupgrade it from there.  If not...hmm.  Perhaps run Azureus 
once with increased priveleges, or if it is not something you're exposing 
to the world and it's a single user box, then just run that one app with 
elevated priveleges all the time (ie, instead of running the binary 
directly, run it sudo /usr/local/bin/azureus).


I'd be interested to see what others think.  I run Az on my mac here, but 
I've always had enough rights to do the online updates.

Re: ircd

I concur.  You might also want to run chkrootkit (security/chkrootkit) to 
see if you've been 0wned so to speak.

Are you running any kind of irc client?  The output means:

There are 2 connections, one on port 3484, and another on 2143
connected to zagreb.hr.eu.und and free.tyranz.com on the port
for ircd, port 6667.

Some trojens use irc channels for control, might look into that.

Re: FreeBSD 5.x with 70k users?

2005-06-06 Thread Tony Shadwick

I can only suggest a workaround, which would be to consider a different 
user management system, say LDAP.  You're still going to have the issue of 
some apps not liking high numbered uid's, but it bypasses the pwd_mkdb 
issue.  Not to mention once you have it in place managing users and 
attributes should be much easier.  Getting to that point, however, is an 
adventure all unto itself I'm afraid. :\

Hi there,

I'm attempting to migrate an old BSDI system to FreeBSD.  The system in
question has about 71k users, with UIDs from about 2000 up to about 7.
When I import the master.passwd file (formats are the same) to the new
system and try to rebuild the .db files, it fails with a pwd_mkdb: put:
Unknown error: 0 .

As best I can tell, if I import a small subset of the users (about 5k),
things work fine.  From what I understand, FreeBSD can have massive UIDs,
with the caveat that some applications may not like UIDs  65535.

I did some research and found someone reporting an identical problem, but
didn't see that he'd found a solution.  Any input, pointers, solutions
greatly appreciated.

Ben

Hi,

I use sonic.net - they default to Linux but will install FreeBSD if you
ask - they are competitive on price and have really good tech people
that you can actually talk to if you have a problem.

Re: bsd vx tux

Heh.  I see the logic in all of the tiny bsd's (like linux has room to 
talk???), but umcould always photoshop Hexley coming up from behind 
and tapping Tux on the shoulder. ;)


To be legit, it would have to be a war of dozens of tiny daemons/platipii 
vs an army of penguins, but now I'm just splitting hairs.


That and I'm biased.  Mac on my Desktop, FreeBSD on my servers. :)

Re: /stand/sysinstall

Well, I think it is there under Post Install Configuration, but you can 
also handle this manually by editing /etc/rc.conf, ifconfig, and 
/etc/resolv.conf.


Of course I'm firewalled off from our only 5.4 machine at the moment, but 
I can check when I get into the office.

Question regarding the utility /stand/sysinstall

Usually I get a Interface option to modfiy my interfaces ip and

has anyone had this before and how do one get the option to modify your

Re: Nocat Radius Auth in Freebsd

Looks to be like p5-Authen-Radius needs updating, or is perhaps corrupt. 
Just shooting from the hip though, I've not personally used it.  cvsup 
your ports tree and do a portupgrade p5-Authen-Radius and let us know how 
it goes.
