It's documented in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, together with most of
the other port-related variables, and also in the default make.conf
file (/etc/defaults/make.conf on 4.x,
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf on 5.x)

NFS File Locking fcntl

2004-04-04 Thread herrier
Hello,

First of all I a very happy using FreeBSD and I have a question regarding Locking of 
files over NFS.

Here is my configuration:

I have an apache server running with FreeBSD 4.8 Stable (server 1)
I have a NFS server where I put all my website files running  FreeBSD 4.8 Stable. 
(server 2)

Both server are linked using Ethernet cards.

rpc.lockd is not activated: neither on server 1 nor on server 2

On server 1, I have concurrent CGI processes accessing files on server 2 using the 
locking api:

 fcntl(m_hdlFile,F_SETLKW, objLock);

to lock part of the accessed files.

Question: Despite lockd is missing, does this invokation works well i.e do we have the 
expected locking behavior ?

Thanks and best regards.

Mr HERRIER.

IIRC, this is the message that pops up when ruby has been upgraded from

When I'm all done..

 ... Is it then possible to delete the following directories?

/usr/src/

And

/usr/obj/

And perhaps even,

/usr/ports/

For a small 'emergency' disk, I'd like to remove those directories, after
the 4.9R install has fully completed. Can it be safely done? Or is anything

Install cvsup from the /usr/ports directory,
then read:

update your ports tree, install portupgrade, and use that..

 Question: Despite lockd is missing, does this invokation works well i.e do we have 
 the expected locking behavior ?

Afraid not.  FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't provide the client side functionality
for locking over NFS -- as the rpc.lockd(8) man page says:

 The current implementation provides only the server side of the protocol
 (ie. clients running other OS types can establish locks on a FreeBSD
 fileserver, but there is currently no means for a FreeBSD client to
 establish locks).

In fact, what happens with FreeBSD clients is that the kernel lies to
the process requesting the lock, and just anyswers yes, lock
achieved to every request.

You should take care that your CGI doesn't depend critically on being
able to achieve an exclusive lock on a file shared over a network,
especially if that file is going to be accessed from several machines.
You can use the technique of 'dot locking' (as often used by mail
delivery agents) where the process accessing the file creates a lock
file to signal that it is accessing the shared resource, and removes
the lock file when it's done.  So long as everything that accesses the
shared resource can be rewritten to abide by this protocol, then it
should work pretty well.

This is not a problem with 5.x -- the full functionality of rpc.lockd
is supported.

Cheers,

Matthew

No -- those directories are only needed when you're rebuilding the
system or installing stuff from ports.  You can zap /usr/sup as well,
although it's probably empty unless you've used cvsup on that box.
You can probably live without /usr/doc, and you only need /usr/include
if you're going to be compiling stuff.  There's also quite a lot of
stuff under /usr/share that you can probably live without, although
you need to be a little more discriminating there.

If you have locate turned on, do a locate XF86Config.  There may be 
old versions lying around. X expects it in serveral places, I have mine

driver nvidia for the one loaded by default (nv). I also set up the

I would look at the XFree86 web page for your video card and add it to 
your config file. I ran xf86cfg and haven't had to go back to it in 
some time. There used to be a web page devoted to the video cards but I 
couldn't find it.

True. A symlink cannot traverse 'up' the chroot; only a hardlink can (to a
file). Personally, I would not use something as beta as mount_null. When
the man pages say: (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK), I would stay clear of it.
There are other ways, though. You say your chroot is at:

/etc/ftpchroot
 

Thank you for your reply.  No, I created the file /etc/ftpchroot to 
chroot the user at /home/username.  Sorry for the confusion.

I'm not necessarily sure whether the root-partition is the best place for a
chroot; 

Agreed.

but working from that fact, you could reverse the condition.
Instead of trying to link to /ftp/share, from within the chroot, you could
do the opposite: first create the following directory:
   /etc/ftpchroot/ftp/share

Then, in /ftp/, symlink to within the chrooted dir:

   share - /etc/ftpchroot/ftp/share

Then /ftp/share is accessible from both the 'real' and the chrooted
environment, pointing to the same directory.
 

Short of another solution, I may move things around to implement your 
suggestion.

Thanks,

I think that words in manual about beta concern writing in directory

need write too. So use this fs type ( set in fstab ro option for 
this mount point).
And read man for mount_null.
This seems reasonable.  Can anyone else comment on their experience 
using mount_null read only?

KDE and continued sound issues.

2004-04-04 Thread Eric F Crist
Hello list,

I upgraded to KDE 3.2.1 about 3 months ago or so.  Ever since, sound 
occaisionally crashes with an error along the lines of:

Sound Error:

/dev/dsp busy.  Using /dev/null

I re-installed kde via portupgrade last week, and I don't get the error as 
often, but I do still get it.  Yesterday I used my sound all day, and it 
never crashed.  I rebooted into Windows, did what I had to do, came back to 
freebsd, and sound crashed right away.

I've tried grepping dsp in the output of lsof, but I get nothing.  I've looked 
through the entire output and didn't see anything that looked like it would 
have to do with locking my sound card.

1) How do I fix this so it stops crashing?

-or-

2) How can I freeup my sound device (/dev/dsp) so I can utilize sound without 
a reboot?

FYI, I'm using FreeBSD 4.9:

Re: remote X display

 I had this working before, but I'm having problems.  My main box is missing
 a monitor (on repair).  Would that make a difference? Will X apps run on the
 main box without a monitor and forward X to the remote client?
 
 Right now, I get this:
 neptune:~ echo $DISPLAY
 
 neptune:~ 

If DISPLAY is not set, then ssh on your local machine and sshd on
the remote box didn't establish an X11 forwarding channel. Are you
sure that sshd_config is set up properly on the remote machine?
Did you use -X (that's uppercase X) while invoking ssh locally?
Perhaps your local ssh and remote sshd are not talking the same
version of the SSH protocol?

BTW, it is irrelevant if the remote box has a monitor or not. That
box doesn't even need an X server (wether running or not). Only X
clients and X libraries are needed on the remote machine.

As you've noticed, Windows doesn't understand the filesystem FreeBSD uses. 
Don't boot into Windows, boot into the FreeBSD partition.

It's probably easier to use /stand/sysinstall to install X11 via prebuilt 
packages (either via FTP or from the installation CD), but you can also do 
something like:

cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
make install
...and build and install X yourself (but this will take quite a bit of time).

It was the closest thing to openssl. There is what I think is a problem

FreeBSD installation.   (I also select ports and source, etc too, but
that's another issue).Then it gets installed right when the other
stuff gets installed.  

Then, there is a screen of post installation things to do and on 
that I have to select a couple of things:  setting up the console,
setting time zone, etc and one of those things is configuring X.
I just do it from there.   That is the easiest - in fact so much
so that I suggest you go back and try it that way.   

When you choose configuring X, it offers a list of methods.  I think
the one I have the best luck with is the ncurses one.

When it configures X, it also lets you choose one or more window
managers.   I normally choose AfterStep and KDE and don't bother 
with the others.  But that is up to you.

I think you can stick the CD back in  and boot and work your way through
menus to where it asks if there is anything else you want to install
and get your X installed that way.   But since I always have it already
done, I have never had to experiment with that feature.

Hi,

I once had the same problem, and I came up with the following patch:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/55539

(I have attached version of the patch that applies to FreeBSD 5.2.1,
otherwise please use the very last version of it (at the bottom of the
problem report page).

The following instructions assume that you have the system sources in
/usr/src

# cd /usr/src
# patch  /path/to/fstab-vis.patch

Now either do a full buildworld cycle, or use the following commands
(untested):

# cd /usr/src/lib/libc
# make depend  make  make install clean
# cd /usr/src/share/man/man5
# make depend  make  make install clean

Now you can encode the spaces with the vis(1) utility:

vis -w
your mount point goes hereENTER

See also the updated fstab(5) man page.

If you try this patch, please tell me, whether it works for you, perhaps
someday I can get it committed.

Regards,
 Simon

Why would you want to go back. I think that is comparable to rejecting 
brain surgery and asking them to reinsert a tumor. There are problems 
that occur and you can't always blindly run portupgrade -a. Most of the 
time, the fix is really simple and you fix it and move on.

make search name/key broken with ports directory moved

2004-04-04 Thread Adam Fabian
Since I moved my ports directory, I *think*, make search name and
make search key don't do anything.  I stuck my ports directory under
/home since /usr was getting a bit tight.  I set PORTSDIR=/home/usr/ports
in make.conf, which is where my ports tree is.  Now, make search

Hi, as far as I can see, Gnome 2.6 is not part of the ports collection yet.

However, you can try Gnome 2.6-rc1 by following the instructions at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/develfaq.html

(please report any oddities to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so they can be fixed
before the official release of Gnome 2.6 on FreeBSD)

Speaking of official release: If that is to close to the ``bleeding edge''

I have /usr/ports on it own partition on several computers. I mount them

something like

ln -s /home/ports /usr/ports

A little bit of exploring should solve the problem.

You have the port structure on the CD. You can remove /usr/ports/* and 
then do the install.

You should be aware that your are going back to a system with a security 
notice attached to openssl. You aren't saving problems but could be 
introducing a port security risk instead. If you haven't upgraded to 
5.2.1, you already have a system with a security risk.

FWIW, I have a clean port system on both 5-current and 4-stable. So, it 
is possible.

Odd cvsup behaviour

2004-04-04 Thread Dwayne MacKinnon
Hi all,

Lately, when I cvsup my ports tree, using ports-all, I've noticed something 
rather odd. The editors/AbiWord2 port always gets completely deleted. Always. 
If I cvsup again immediately after completion, the editors/AbiWord2 port 
always gets completely checked out again. Any idea why this would be 
happening?

I noticed the behaviour because when I would portsdb -Uu after the cvsup, the 
index would always break. So these days I cvsup -L2 ports-supfile (which uses 
ports-all) immediately followed by cvsup -L2 editors-supfile (which I've 
edited to only use ports-editors, for speed's sake.) After that, portsdb -Uu 
works like a charm.

I've attached the output from cvsup in case anyone's interested. I'm using 
cvsup12, since I'm sure that'd be one of the first questions. :) Regrettably, 
I managed to lose the output from the second cvsup but trust me, it's always 
just the AbiWord2 port getting checked out again.

Cheers,
DMK

Try
rm -r /usr/ports

then 

sysinstall

Follow options:

=Configure (do post install configuration of FreeBSD) -
=Distributions (Install additional distribution sets) -
=Ports (The FreeBSD Ports Collection) (Enter) *
=CD/DVD (Install from a FreeBSD CD/DVD)   *

Should get the whole ports shebang back down to 5.2 CD Dist
standards.

You'll then need to reinstate the index as it was then...

cd /usr/ports
portsdb -Uu

To get rid of every package you have installed currently, try 

pkg_delete *

which should de-install every package you've got, and then
rebuild everything you need, starting

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup/ 
make install clean

to build cvsup.

I assume you've already configured the example script from
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile so we'll skip directly
into

cvsup -g /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install clean


portinstall (any port you like)

I'd recommend you try and fix whatever it is that's gone wrong
with k3b though.

It'll take far less time.

Internet gateway

2004-04-04 Thread Jose Arnel Rimando
Hello,

I just installed a freebsd stable on an old pentium. I want to ask if 
you guys have additional reading materials in deploying FreeBSD as an 
internet gateway. I am currently working on a project for a non-profit 
organization. Thank you very much for your time.

 I'd recommend you try and fix whatever it is that's gone wrong
 with k3b though.

 It'll take far less time.

Thanks for the detailed procedure!

I think I get the point that you and Kent are trying to make. Some patches/
upgrades to the base 5.2 system will be required after I get there. 

But I guess I'm not completely convinced that it'll take far less time. I 
started the K3b port install Friday evening... I'm on about the third 
iteration of portupgrade, and each iteration is an _extremely_ long process 
on this old 350 MHz system with 211+ ports. Several of the port installs 
require input from the console to continue, so I've been friggin' chained to 
this desk all weekend long. Too much work, too much time!

Reading /usr/ports/UPGRADING still worries me when I get to the part about 
KDE... at some point during the current portupgrade I expect my Konqueror 
windows will start dying off. And I still don't know what I did to (e.g.) my  
OpenOffice install when I responded to the prompts from pkgdb -F with 
Delete.

On the + side, I have learned some things about FreeBSD which is why I'm here 
in the first place. I think I'm going to take your (and Kent's) advice, and 
let this thing run its course. I've got new info re SSL and the instructions 
in the UPDATING file - and of course the bulldozer procedure if that fails. 
But best of all, I've got this list :)  

I'll close this thread for now with my thanks to all. Future issues will be 
posted to the list with the words [5.2 portupgrade hairball] in the subject 
(forewarned is forearmed :)

Thanks Again,
Jay

Re: Odd cvsup behaviour

2004-04-04 Thread Kent Stewart
On Sunday 04 April 2004 02:06 pm, Dwayne MacKinnon wrote:
 Hi all,

   Lately, when I cvsup my ports tree, using ports-all, I've noticed
 something rather odd. The editors/AbiWord2 port always gets
 completely deleted. Always. If I cvsup again immediately after
 completion, the editors/AbiWord2 port always gets completely checked
 out again. Any idea why this would be happening?

   I noticed the behaviour because when I would portsdb -Uu after the
 cvsup, the index would always break. So these days I cvsup -L2
 ports-supfile (which uses ports-all) immediately followed by cvsup
 -L2 editors-supfile (which I've edited to only use ports-editors, for
 speed's sake.) After that, portsdb -Uu works like a charm.

   I've attached the output from cvsup in case anyone's interested. I'm
 using cvsup12, since I'm sure that'd be one of the first questions.
 :) Regrettably, I managed to lose the output from the second cvsup
 but trust me, it's always just the AbiWord2 port getting checked out
 again.


From your text, it was 

Checkout ports/databases/p5-Class-DBI-Plugin-RetrieveAll/pkg-descr

where things died and it didn't recover until you got to java3d. I just 
did a cvsup of ports-all from my mirror and didn't see your problem. I 
think that I would try a different cvsup mirror and make sure you don't 
have -s on the cvsup command line. 

Nothing has changed in AbiWord2 for 3 weeks. You may have something 
messed up in your /usr/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:. which is causing 
the recuring download of AbiWord2.

I don't know if there is an easy fix to that. I know I have deleted the 
checkouts.cvs:. file before but that was a long time ago.

secure cvs server, urgent

2004-04-04 Thread dave
Hello,
I'm wanting to offer cvs services to a select group of users from my
internal server. I need this to be as secure as possible using ssh. I've
tried cvsd, and although it starts when i try to log in, i'm using :pserver:
at the moment, i get the message, premature end of file from server, consult
above messages if any. There are none and nothing in the logs. When i tried
to use the :ext method i got the error:
login can only be used with the pserver method.
If anyone has secure cvs services going behind a firewall to users on
the net please let me know.
Thanks.

You can't use pserver or cvs in daemon mode in conjunction with SSH access.

Simply set CVS_RSH=ssh in your environment and use a CVSROOT without the 
:pserver: bit and your users ought to be fine, at least if cvs is in their 
path on your internal server.

Re: What is Xterm and what do i do with it?

xterm(1) is the standard terminal emulator provided by X Windows.  It
gives you access to the Unix shell prompt.  Sounds like you've managed
to bring up the default xinit(1) setup which gives you just a bare
xterm(1) -- which means you're starting X windows by using startx each
time you log in, rather than running xdm(1) and using the graphical
login.  Try running some X Windows programs.  xeyes(1) is vaguely
amusing the first time you run it:

% xeyes 

and it will probably help you to run a windowmanager:

% twm  

(twm is not everybodies' idea of the greatest windowmanager ever, but
it does the job, and it is useful in this situation as it comes by
default with the basic X Windows installation.)

Once you get bored, just type 'exit' in the original xterm window, and
X will close down putting you back at the console prompt.

Probably what you want to do after that is configure yourself a nicely
customised ~/.xinitrc file: the first step should be to install and
run some sort of decent window manager -- there's several in the
x11-wm category in the ports.  I like windowmaker myself.  Or you can
go the whole hog and install the Gnome desktop or the KDE desktop --
either of which will require you to download quite a lot of stuff, and
spend hours watching it compile if that's the way you choose to do
things.

The first thing you need to do is update your OS to a newer version
(i.e. 5.2.1) since the older version is unsupported and newer packages
will not work on it.  See http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ for details
about OS versions supported by the ports collection.

This is a recommendation only, but here's what I think you should do:

Get on eBay, and buy yourself a used PC, 500 MHz - 1 GHz, 128 MB RAM, a 40 GB 
HDD, an Ethernet card and a cd-rom drive. Spend maybe $150.

While you're online, order a copy of the FreeBSD 5.2 (or 4.9) CD set. Spend 
another $40.

Once you get your PC and CD set, install FreeBSD - it's pretty simple, even if 
you don't know shit from butterbeans.

This may cost a bit more, but avoids the risk of breaking your trusty Windows 
box, while giving you an opportunity to experiment  make mistakes while you 
learn FreeBSD/Unix. And you will learn...

Well, it's happpened; the first time in nine years my FBSD
acually crashed and auto-rebooted.  (Prob'ly my fault,
since I didn't do the reboot; make installworld... )  
Anway, In doing 'fsck -y' by hand,  I watched as dozens of
ports' inodes were removed.  Short of doing a 'portupgrade -af'
is there a way of telling which ports need to be rebuilt 
and re-installed?

I have a better recommendation than that.

Since it's just one IP, have a look at /etc/hosts.allow.

The syntax and comments there should enlighten

If that's *really* all you want to do, setup your kernel config to 
IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_ACCEPT (or whatever it really is) and simply add a single 
rule to your firewall script.

Add the following to your rc.conf file:

firewall_enable=YES
firewall_script=/etc/localhost.firewall

create a file in /etc/ called localhost.firewall with the following text:

ipfw -f flush
ipfw add 100 deny all from your_bad_ip_here to me in
  -- via oif

where oif is the device name for your outside ethernet adapter.  all of 
that's on one line, btw.

restart the system, and you should be good to go.  Make SURE you have console 
access when playing with firewall rules.  Otherwise, you could block your ssh 
access.

FreeBSD 4.9 / Supermicro 7043P-8R / Crashes After 2-5 Minutes Of Uptime

2004-04-04 Thread Gustafson, Tim
Hello

I have a brand spanking new Supermicro 7043P-8R server with dual Intel
3.2gHZ Xeon processors and 4GB of Kingston memory.

I installed FreeBSD 4.9 on the box and it gives me the following message on
the screen about 2-5 minutes after it finished booting:

boot() called on CPU#0

I get this message no matter whether I leave the console alone or if I log
in and try to work on the machine.

I read a thread about a problem very similar to this from November of 2003,
but the thread seems to have just died without any resolution.

Is this a known issue with Supermicro Motherboards?  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to a potential patch or other fix?

I'm going to start doing the hardware swapping thing in a bit and see if
that fixes anything, but I'd really like to hear back from anyone who has
any experience with this issue.

Thanks a million!

Re: Simplest way to block a single IP?

2004-04-04 Thread jan . muenther

One IP can be null routed as a simple quick workaround:

route add that.ip.add.ress 127.0.0.1

The syntax of the route command will differ from OS to OS, but basically you
set your loopback as the gateway for that host. 

Not a permanent solution of course.

Cheers, J

HEADS UP: GNOME 2.6 released!

2004-04-04 Thread Joe Marcus Clarke
The FreeBSD GNOME Team is delighted to announce the release of the GNOME
2.6 Desktop and Developer suites for FreeBSD.  Accompanying this release
are the usual meta-port bumps for the GNOME Fifth Toe, Power Tools,
Hacker Tools, and Office.

For the highlights of what's new in GNOME 2.6, please checkout our
upgrade FAQ at:

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html

This page will give GNOME users a script which they can use to assist
with the upgrade.  IF YOU ARE A GNOME DESKTOP USER, YOU MUST USE THIS
SCRIPT TO UPGRADE.

If you'd rather install from packages, go to
http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox/ where you will find i386 packages
for all supported FreeBSD versions.

In addition to the GNOME-wide improvements in GNOME 2.6, there have been
some FreeBSD-specific additions as well.  First, certain types of media
(e.g. CD-ROMs, floppies, etc.) are now mountable dynamically for
Nautilus.  This release also consolidates the KDE menus (if KDE is
installed) so there isn't as much clutter under the Applications menu. 
Finally, we have a spiffy new splash screen created by Franz Klammer.

As always, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be possible without the effort of
this team (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html), its alumni, and
our users.  We would especially like to thank the following users that
helped by testing GNOME 2.5, and providing patches:

Koop Mast [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Simon Barner [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dmesg bootup-info removed/overwritten by syslogd ?

2004-04-04 Thread Rob
Hi,

I wanted to see my original bootup messages again. So I typed
dmesg, but all I got were 'arplookup' lines.
I'm puzzled, where the bootup messages have gone?
I have two files in /var/log: dmesg.today and dmesg.yesterday
Both files are completely filled with this line:
   arplookup 147.46.50.254 failed: host is not on local network
Nothing else.

How can I see the original bootup messages from the kernel?
Do I have to reboot for that :( ?
Regards,
Rob.

Re: Known problem with qt3.3?

2004-04-04 Thread Chuck McManis
The KDE folks nailed it, I had a private copy of gcc 3 compiled on the 
system (for eCos development) and while those tools were not in the path, 
ldconfig had /usr/local/gnu3/lib in the path so it was picking up 
libstdc++.so.5 from that directory rather than libstdc++.so.3 from the 
/usr/lib directory. (bogus in and of itself, since c++ should not have 
accepted the later version but that appears to have been the problem, my 
portupgrade since built qt33 and has moved on to kdelibe3.

Re: make search name/key broken with ports directory moved

On Sun, Apr 04, 2004 at 03:27:14PM -0500, Adam Fabian wrote:
 Since I moved my ports directory, I *think*, make search name and
 make search key don't do anything.  I stuck my ports directory under
 /home since /usr was getting a bit tight.  I set PORTSDIR=/home/usr/ports
 in make.conf, which is where my ports tree is.  Now, make search
 name and make search key don't do anything.  No error messages, no
 output whatsoever, exit code of 0.

As another poster noted, a symbolic link from /usr/ports to the new
location should work fine.  I shifted mine into my home directory after
running out of space on /usr:

mv /usr/ports /home/munk
ln -s /home/munk/ports /usr/ports


Aside from that though, check out the portsearch utility - it has a lot
to offer over 'make search' - it's located here:

/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/portsearch
^^

or whereever you've put your ports now :P

Good luck.

Overwritten by kernel debug messages.  There have been a number of
similar questions for a while, the gist is that when the dmesg buffer
gets filled up, it starts to overwrite itself.  This affects the
daily periodic output and makes it look munged.  I don't think any
solution has ever been offered up - I'd certainly be interested in it :P

 Both files are completely filled with this line:

One way is to cat the output from bootup dmesg into a file at boot time
- in /etc/rc.local put this:

dmesg  /var/log/dmesg.boot

if you wanted to get fancy you could use the date(1) command to
timestamp the files ala:

dmesg  /var/log/dmesg.boot.`date +%Y%m%d`

 Do I have to reboot for that :( ?

Yup.


Good luck.

You can, but you can also have a look at /var/run/dmesg.boot
Saves some time, and saves downtime :-)
Cheers!
