Re: D-Link DWL-650
I did some more searching and testing and everything I found seams to say the same thing you did. It's an IRQ problem. I tried different IRQs with out any luck. Again, the card looks configured but you can't pass any traffic. When I try to ping a host I get watchdog timeout. I may end up using Linux on this laptop.

There are so many different types of UNIX. If freeBSD is so great why won't natural selection begin and let some of these Unix flavors die? Really, wouldn't it be a better world if we had just a couple open source OS? I've been doing some background reading and correct me if I'm wrong. But I came across of at least 30 active different open source and commercial Unix flavors (and I'm sure that's a drop in the bucket)? And my last comment is about the commercial Unix flavors.

It's possible that some process has an open file descriptor on a file
that has been unlinked from the filesystem --- eg. through cycling log
files. This will absorb space on /var, but there will be no way to
access the data other than from the process with the open descriptor.
You can track this down by running 'fstat -f /var' which will show you
all the open file descriptors currently held on /var. Unfortunately,
you're then going to have to take the inode numbers from that output
and eliminate all of the ones that are associated with known files:
#!/bin/sh
find /var -xdev -ls /tmp/var-files
for i in $(fstat -f /var | sed -e 1d | awk '{ print $6 }' | sort -nu) ;
do
grep -e ^ *$i /tmp/var-files || echo inode $i not found ***
done
Once you've pinned down the process with the open descriptor, you
should be able to kill or restart it, which will release the space.
Cheers,
Matthew

Cliff writes: Ok, 20 flavours of Linux and at least 3 of *BSD; well...that's the way it goes... Actually, it's not the number of versions that exist that is important, it's the degree of similarity among them. Twenty operating systems that are 98% compatible is much less of a problem than two operating systems that are only 5% compatible. Something that runs in an X environment on one version of UNIX will often run on several other versions of UNIX as well, but a program that runs on Windows will not run at all on the Mac without being rewritten. All OS'es should be Open-Sourced..especially in these dangerous days ! A nice wish, but developing operating systems costs an incredible amount of money, and the money has to come from somewhere, and the easiest way to raise the money is by making the OS proprietary and selling it. Open operating systems are nice when they exist, but since nobody has the resources to support them in a totally reliable and responsive way, choosing them for mission-critical applications is risky, unless one has on-site experts to maintain them if required. For many other purposes, they might be quite suitable, however. In the olden days, mainframe vendors would sell the hardware and almost throw in the OS as an afterthought, since the hardware was useless without the OS, and since the OS couldn't be used on any other hardware. They'd even provide source code so that customers could modify the OS. It worked well, but that is not a a viable model for smaller systems, because it makes it easy to take a proprietary OS and use it on different but compatible hardware (much harder for Macs than for Windows or UNIX, though). Also, customer modifications were a nightmare for support organizations--and that would be a million times worse with smaller systems, given that there are so many people of limited skill and high motivation tweaking so many smaller systems. Mind you I am not sure how many volunteers there would be who would wish to wade through what is rumoured to be 30 million lines of code that constitute Windows2000. Exactly. Writing an OS like that costs several billion dollars, and supporting it costs millions more. How would you find the money for open-source code? Then again, one might argue that 30 million lines is too much for an OS (and I tend to agree), but that's a separate issue. One nice thing about UNIX--in part because of its history, I suppose, and in part because it is largely open-source--is that it doesn't suffer from the extreme bloat of Windows or Mac operating systems. This applies only to the OS itself, though, not to bloated GUI environments that might run on top of it, which seem to have the same problem as Windows and the Mac. Well I think it's jolly good as well :) So do I. FreeBSD is a great operating system. Simple, performant, secure, reliable, accessible, and free. It would be nice to see a desktop OS with the same characteristics one day, but for various reasons, I question whether that will ever even be possible.

Sorry for the lack of detail earlier. ABS is short for American Business Systems. They produce a character based accounting software that runs on UNIX and Linux machines. Users interact with the system from a dumb-terminal connected to the Unix computer by a serial line or ethernet. I primarily see it being run on SCO UNIX in my area. The latest version of ABS is 7.0 under the charater based software. I want to install a new FreeBSD server and transfer the program from a SCO box onto the FreeBSD box. I have little experience running a terminal program from a UNIX box. So if anybody has any generic info on this that would be helpful.

PHP 4 needs the mysql client library linked in (and the header files) to be able to talk to it. It can either use the mysql (library) installed on your system, or it can use the one it has bundled with it. Use of the system library is required only under certain circumstances. You must use it e. g. if you build PHP as the apache module, and other apache modules use the mysql library too. Basically, it's just a matter of conflicting versions. If mod_php is the only apache module that uses mysql, you can safely use the bundled library. --with-mysql will use the bundled libmysql, --with-mysql=/path will use mysql installed in /path. if you have mysql installed from the port (and haven't tinkered with $PREFIX), the path will be /usr/local. the path you give configure in the --with-foo switch is the directory where i'll look for lib/libfoo.a and include/foo.h. note that this statement is *very* simplifying the matters. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

firewall / natd problem I think
Hello Everyone. I have a problem that I just can't seem to figure out. I have a FreeBSD server connected to the internet via xl1 which is connected to a cable modem. This interface gets it's ip dynamicly via dhcp. Interface xl0 has an assigned ip address of 10.1.1.1 and is connected to an internal network. Clients on the internal network are given ip addresses in the 10.1.1.0/24 class C via dhcp. I use the homedns.org service to map the ip address that xl1 receives to eagle.homedns.org. I have configured natd to run on the server. rc.conf and ipfw output to follow I have an apache server running on this server and it is configured to respond to eagle.homedns.org. If I connect to the web server from the outside world it works correctly. However, if I attempt to connect to the web server from one of the internal clients the connection is VERY slow. Accessing outside web servers from the same client works without a problem speed is wuite acceptable. This client has the same problem (very slow) whne attempting to retreive it's mail from the pop server running on the freebsd box. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this corrected. Please excuse im if I am doing anything obviously wrong here. I'm not very familar with freebsd I mainly have experiance with Linux and Solaris. Thanks in advance.

Cisco Aironet 350 Series Card Support
Hi, I am very new to FreeBSD. So, please pardon me if my questions are too trivial or have been asked before. I am trying to use a Cisco Aironet 350 Series WLAN client adapter on a desktop with a PCMCIA slot running FreeBSD 4.4. I noticed that my pccard.conf file only had an entry for the 340 series card. Based on suggestions from a FreeBSD site, I changed the 340 to 350 in the /etc directory and now the machine finds a match for the card and says pccardd started upon reboot. However, it does say Failed to allocate IRQ for Cisco Systems. How do I allocate an IRQ for the device? Currently, my /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file has an IRQ 0 entry for the PCMCIA card. I figured this should be ok to use any available IRQ. However, it certainly does not seem to work. Also, I am unable to execute any ifconfig or ancontrol commands on the WLAN interface. No interface anX is listed. There is a pcic0 that is listed against the PCMCIA support, but then that does not seem to be an interface. When I try ancontrol -i an0 -S, it says ancontrol: SIOCGAIRONET: Device not configured. I have the following lines included in the rc.conf file: pccard_enable=YES pccard_mem=0xd pccard_ifconfig=inet 10.10.10.59 netmask 255.255.255.0 Any ideas on how I might be able to get this to work?

Password expires on Win2k w samba PDC
Hi, I'm using fbsd4.5 running samba - PDC for windows clients. Everything was ok until it began to display (on win2k) a message that my password expires today. I've changed the password and nothing changed. This messages is being displayed for a week. Does anybody know how to stop it? I don't need the passwords to expire. Very Thanks, Fernando.

RE: firewall / natd problem I think
Put your mail server and apache server domain names in /etc/hosts file -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions;FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Kenny Elliott Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 10:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: firewall / natd problem I think Hello Everyone. I have a problem that I just can't seem to figure out. I have a FreeBSD server connected to the internet via xl1 which is connected to a cable modem. This interface gets it's ip dynamicly via dhcp. Interface xl0 has an assigned ip address of 10.1.1.1 and is connected to an internal network. Clients on the internal network are given ip addresses in the 10.1.1.0/24 class C via dhcp. I use the homedns.org service to map the ip address that xl1 receives to eagle.homedns.org. I have configured natd to run on the server. rc.conf and ipfw output to follow I have an apache server running on this server and it is configured to respond to eagle.homedns.org. If I connect to the web server from the outside world it works correctly. However, if I attempt to connect to the web server from one of the internal clients the connection is VERY slow. Accessing outside web servers from the same client works without a problem speed is wuite acceptable. This client has the same problem (very slow) whne attempting to retreive it's mail from the pop server running on the freebsd box. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this corrected. Please excuse im if I am doing anything obviously wrong here. I'm not very familar with freebsd I mainly have experiance with Linux and Solaris. Thanks in advance.

Buildworld as root???
So we meet again
In all my life (with FreeBSD) I have always happily buildworld as an
non privileged user (operator).
But today I cvsup'ed from cvsup.dk.FreeBSD.org and committed the build
with:
mgb@nautilus:/usr/src sudo -u operator make buildworld
But instead of going to work as it used to it stops fairly quickly with
the message

Now to my question('s):
Why does the flag INSTALL=install -C have influence on the buildworld?
And am I doing something wrong or do you really have to be root to do a
buildworld with the INSTALL=install -C flag?
I hope anyone can clarify this for me.

Re: vi Error - Permission Denied
- Original Message - From: Matthew Emmerton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 10:40 AM I've decided to try and wean myself off ee and move to vi. I have two boxes, both running 4.7-RELEASE-p1. On one, I tried the following logged on with normal user privileges: blacklamb vi practice ex/vi: Error: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied A google search on this error suggests that permissions are not set correctly on /var/tmp and /var/tmp/vi.recover so I check them and they appear to be OK. blacklamb# ls -ld /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Nov 13 08:45 /var/tmp blacklamb# ls -ld /var/tmp/vi.recover drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Nov 10 12:22 /var/tmp/vi.recover So I check my other system and the permissions are the same, yet I can use vi logged on with normal privledges. Any ideas on what is wrong here? Usually what this means is that the temporary filename that vi has generated and is attempting to use is _the same_ as an existing temporary file in /var/tmp. Thanks for your response, however I don't think this is my problem.

If all software was open source, there'd be no jobs to support the volunteers writing open source, and so open source would destroy itself, and you'd be back to proprietary software. This effect will keep open source in check. You incorrectly assume that all those day jobs involve writing software. That is not necessarily so. It is quite possible for a volunteer writing open source code to have a day job that does not have anything at all to do with computers. You also incorrectly seem to assume that all proprietary software is written to be sold at retail. This is not so. A significant fraction of the proprietary software written is intended for in-house use. (Consider for example the computer systems of many government agencies and large companies and instituitions. Much of the code in those systems is developed in-house and never sold.) You can also consider all the software for embedded systems, where the software is not the primary product, but some physical device utilising the software. Of course, software companies could write software and then distribute the source, but no company that wants to survive can afford to do that--it would be giving away its only source of revenue. Not necessarily. You could develop software on order for some customer that needs some special software that is not available off the shelf. Then, after they get the software they wanted and you got paid, the source is released. You get paid, your customer got the software they wanted, anybody who wants to can get the source. Everybody is happy. None of the above means that all software necessarily should be open source, just that your arguments against it doesn't hold. One kind of software where proprietary off-the-shelf software does have a place is software that the average open-source programmer finds boring (since nobody will write boring code without being paid for it) and where no single entity is prepared to spend a large amount of money to have it developed, yet there still are many people who need that kind of software. Examples of this class of software is things like spreadsheets, word processors and presentation programs. There do exist some open source programs of this kind but they are mostly not quite as good as their commercial counterparts and there are very volunteers working on them, yet there are lots of people who need them. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

unexpected in sh scripts after upg to 4.7
Hello!
Given the latest security advisory about 'resolv', I decided to upgrade
my FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10 server to 4.7-RELEASE-p1 via the usual
cvsup and buildworld magic.
Everything else seems to have gone fine, but to my surprise after
upgrading two of the ports using scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to
start didn't. One of them is MySQL server. It is started via
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh script, which looks like this:
---
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then
# THE BELOW IS ACTUALLY ALL ON ONE LINE
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql /dev/null echo -n
'mysqld'
# THE ABOVE IS ACTUALLY ALL ON ONE LINE
fi
;;
rest of the script snipped as irrelevant
---
I determined from ps output that mysqld is not running. Then I tried to
run '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start' from the command line,
and got the error message 'Syntax error, unexpected ' (I write
this from memory, so the message is not exact but the meaning is).
This mysql-server.sh script has been there since the server was
originally installed and it has never been touched. The server has been
upgraded from 4.3 to 4.5 to 4.6, and now this.
For now I just broke the one line which caused the problem into two:
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql /dev/null
echo -n 'mysqld'
but this just isn't right.
The other script which doesn't start is pwcheck.sh (I think this is
installed as part of Cyrus SASL or IMAPD, not sure exactly what it is
used for g). The start line there also contains the ' ' sequence:
${sasl_pwcheck_program} echo -n pwcheck
How should I really correct the problem (the shotgun approach would
probably be to upgrade the relevant ports to latest, but I'm looking
for something lighter).

If the other side cannot handle full-duplex, then this is definitely *not* OK, and duplex mismatch can cause exactly the behaviour that you described. What is in the other end of the connection? Not a clue, but it is set as autoselect when doing ifconfig (see man sis). Anyway, try forcing the sis to the speed and duplex settings that match the other side and see if the problems go away.

Recompiling kernel and buildworld problems

The ISPs are expecting you to be running some sort of Windoze or MAC. I'm not familiar with that brand NIC and probably neither is FBSD. You need to determine what driver runs it and if it is supported in the hardware list. Compatible NICs are fairly inexpensive and I'll bet most will work with the modem. For $20.00 or less, you could be up and running with one quick trip to the store if you want fast results. or, maybe someone knows this NIC and has your answer. If not, and it's not supported, I'd be heading for the store. Best regards, Jack L.

No, it isn't, the problem is that you're running at 8bit colour depth, hence, the problems with colour allocation. Change the default colour depth to 16 or 24, that should fix it. Either by starting X with 'startx -- -bpp 16' or by editing the config file. Here's the relevant part of the log... - (II) Setting vga for screen 0. (==) ATI(0): Chipset: ati.

Now I got all the colors and the log shows: (**) ATI(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp But, um, was this supposed to be obvious? :-) My (wrong) intuition thought that using fewer bits per pixel would mean less memory required, thus helping things out, or something...

Re: Recompiling kernel and buildworld problems
Doublecheck your cvs tags in the supfile and try again. As for 2nd issue, methinks the kernel gets built from the source code under /usr/obj during buildworld...mergemaster sequence. That may explain the second. As for the first, my tag is RELENG_4_6, and it downloaded a lot of files (took about 45 minutes for the download to finish), so it seems to be a valid tag. Let me know if I can supply any more info. Thanks! To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I'll have to have a look at that. 2)How can I find files that are unused by any port? /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/check_consistency I think /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/consistency-check examines modified files within /usr/local/bin only. or pkg_which file(s) A better way to examine files in any path would be to use pkg_which -v Something like find PATH PATH ... -type f | xargs pkg_which -v | fgrep '?' would check against any port in any path. Well, yes, I didn't elaborate any further on this one. Just wanted to point you in the right direction. :-) Yes, I believe you did. :-) 3)How can I find modified files? pkg_info -ag 4)How can I find missing port files? Need some clarification as to what you mean. I think your previous answer covers this one as well. I meant if any of the already installed port files are missing. pkg_info -ag displays results of any modified/missing port files. Is there a way to also check the system (/bin /sbin ...) for modified/missing/extra files? man mtree That certainly takes care of that too! 5)_AND_ (yes finally) How can I find missing port dependencies? pkg_info -I $(pkg_info -arq | cut -d ' ' -f 2) I am not sure here if the results are any missing port dependencies. I get a multiple list of the ports that are already installed. Well, the idea here is that if a package is missing, an error message will be displayed. Perhaps a better way to run this would be: pkg_info -I $(pkg_info -arq | cut -d ' ' -f 2) /dev/null So only any errors will actual display. I see. There is also a nice sysutil port /usr/ports/sysutils/libchk. It checks almost any shared libraries links. I guess that about sums it up. Using the above commands, you could check almost everything in your file system. Great job, thanks. The idea here is to always be able to check the whole system against minor data corruption problems or accidental deletes or unknown files and file modifications. Is there anything else I might be missing? I recently hacked together a little script to check for stale symbolic links: #!/bin/sh # # Check symbolic links to make sure they're valid pointers if [ $# -eq 0 ] then root=/ else root=$(realpath $1) fi IFS=$(echo -e \n) find $root -type l | while read link do echo -n Checking $link... lp=$(readlink $link) if [ ! -e $lp ] [ ! -e $(dirname $link)/$lp ] then echo Bad link: $link -- $lp does not exist else echo OK fi done There is also another way. You might want to check out this port called symlinks (/usr/ports/sysutils/symlinks). It can check out links as simple as: symlinks -r / | grep ^dangling It can change absolute/messy links to relative, delete dangling links, recurse into subdirs and shorten lengthy links. :-) All in one!

Re: fcntl(xx, F_SETLK64, zz) ??
-In the last episode (Nov 12), Darlene Choontanom X45478 BSYS said:
- Background: I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 on a file server we set up
- earlier this year in the hopes of relieving some of the load from our
- Solaris server. Currently we have mostly Sun clients, and a few
- Redhat clients.
-
- Problem: one of the big CAD applications we run hangs if a) it is
- in- stalled on the FreeBSD server, or b) if any of the user accounts
- that call it is located on the FreeBSD machine.
-
- After banging our heads into various different walls over a couple of
- months, we narrowed it down to the fact that this application makes a
- lot of (unnecessary?) NFS file locking calls.
-
- From Sun clients, it hangs on the call:
-
- fcntl(6, F_SETLK64, 0xFFBEA3A8) (sleeping...)
-
- From Redhat clients, it hangs on the call:
-
- fcntl64(5, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
-
- We did talk to the CAD vendor about this, and they swear they've removed
- all NFS file locking. However, there seem to be a few that they've missed.
- Is this/are these options/commands supported anywhere under FreeBSD, and if
- not, could it?
-
-Try enabling the locking daemons on the server by adding these lines to
-rc.conf and rebooting. Note that on FreeBSD 4.* this only provides
-server-side locking (if the machine tries to lock a remote NFS file it
-will always succeed immediately), but that seems to be all you need
-anyway.
-
-rpc_lockd_enable=YES
-rpc_statd_enable=YES
-
-You can test to see if this will fix your proglem without rebooting by
-running rpc.statd and rpc.lockd, then running your CAD program again.
It WORKS!!! ITWORKSITWORKSITWORKS!! Oh, THANKYOUthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!

Hello, I'd like to take this chance to let you know about Instines the Smart Computer-based Dyslexia Screening. FREE evaluation CD-ROMs will only be available until Feb 2003. So if you think you're interested read on. It's main aim is to enable professionals with or without specialist training to quickly, cost effectively, but most of all accurately screen teens and adults for dyslexia. It's pioneering use of artificial intelligence makes supervision simple, and the diagnosis extremely accurate (currently 98% +/- 2% concurrent with an educational psychologist). The subtests are designed to be both highly indicative of dyslexic traits, and very user friendly. But don't take my word for it, try it your self. Simply reply to this email with your postal address, and we'll send you a free evaluation CD for use on all MS windows platforms.

For example, I'm guessing that an entry ending with -A 972648548 385190336 53352 IN is an ACK packet, but what do those numbers stand for? The IN is because it is an inbound packet?

I've had that problem with OpenOffice, but usually, in such a case, nothing at all opens (hrrm, is that a bad pun?) One thing that seems to be a factor is that it has to be installed--that is, cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice and make install as root--not sudo and not even su--this seems to have to do with various paths during installation. (This is not from having knowledge of this, it's from searching Google and finding it echoed in my own experience). These days though, on a new installation, I usually just download the FreeBSD binaries from openoffice.org. I've had good luck on a few recent installs with that, no problems whatsoever. FWIW, when it works, I can open Word 2000 documents without problem.

If you are interested in -STABLE which rarely changes, you'll find that it's not really hard to keep your local branch in sync with the FreeBSD source. Then you can check out a copy of the local branch in /tmp/etc and use a good old tool, that we all know about, mergemaster(1): # mergemaster -m /tmp/etc The trick here is that you can use the nice, working Makefiles of FreeBSD and mergemaster, to update your /etc from a local branch, which accidentally happens to include all the proper changes for your local setup :-) Giorgos.

Migrating Linux to FreeBSD
Hello all, Ive inherited control of two linux boxes at work which provide essentially nothing more than mail and ftp access to a bunch of external customers. We host their domains on these two servers and they either pop-off or access their email through squirrelmail. To make a really long story short, we're looking to setup two boxes in parallel, migrate the data, test for a week or so, and then switch the old boxes out. I know enough in Linux and FreeBSD to get by, but I have a bit more experience with FreeBSD and love how easy it is to install new apps, update apps, etc. My question is this: are there any known good procedures on how to migrate roughly 200 users on a RedHat 6.2 linux server over to a FreeBSD server? Im looking basically to retain their username/passwords and their mail. Everything else is going to be installed from scratch using FreeBSD 4.7. Thanks in advance for any ideas/help.

serial printing to old inkjet (stylewriter)

Re: make buildkernel says device atapicam is unknown!!??
Well, 4.7-RELEASE was released before Nov. 1, 2002 (on Oct. 10). As I understand it, 4.7-RELEASE is can be obtained by cvsup'ing to RELENG_4_7 (and generally the only patches that are applied to -RELEASE are security patches)... whereas if I cvsup'd to RELENG_4, *then* I would be getting 4.7-STABLE. But because I'm cvsup'ing to RELENG_4_7, not RELENG_4, I'm getting 4.7-RELEASE, not -STABLE... right? I may be wrong there; feel free to correct me if I am... :) In any case, I tried building the kernel before applying those patches, and after applying them.

I don't understand why you are doing part of this. The web page says the atapicam device has been in 4.7-stable source since 1-nov-2002. It sounds like you have basically applied the patch twice. All I did was add device atapicam after my atapicd like so device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapicam device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives and did a make buildkernel. The kernel built without any errors. Kent To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
