recompile libc with BIND IRS ?
Hi In order to have nss_ldap to work on FreeBSD I've read it would be necessary to recompile the libc with the BIND IRS. Does some guru could explain how to do such thing and does anybody has done this with success ? The goal is to have LDAP auth to work on FreeBSD which is not the case with std configuration.

Re: LS -L command, year created field contains hour:minute instead of year

FBSD 4.0 through 4.5 LS -L command would display among other things the month/day/year the file was created. FBSD versions 4.6 and 4.7 displays the hour:minute the file was created in the year field instead of the year. This is done to save some space in the output of ls(1) and yet print useful information like the `hour:minute' of modification time for files that have been modified recently (for some definition of `recently'). The same is done in other BSDs too.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I understand what is being said here. There is no bug at this part of ls(1). It simply prints the year at column 8 for files that have been modified way back in the past, and uses the same column to print the hour:minute of recently modified files. I am looking for confirmation of my interpretation of the problem from other FBSD users, before I submit PR on it. It's not really a problem, imho.

L Is there a simple solution for creating all user directories under
L /home? So, I have clean /home filesystem and hundreds of users in
L /etc/*passwd. Hopefully there is some simple command or script :)
Create a subset of the passwd file with the user, group, and home
directory only:
# cut -f1,4,6 -d: /etc/passwd | grep /home/ | sed -e 's/:/ /g' /tmp/pw
Create the directory tree. You need the '-p' flag in mkdir if you
have multiple levels of directories under /home:
# awk '{print mkdir -p, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
Next, set permissions. Use 750 instead of 755 if you don't want
world read access to user's home directories:
# awk '{print chmod 755, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
If you want to populate the home directories with some default dot files
(.profile, etc) you can do something like
# cd /etc/skel
# awk '{print find . -print | cpio -pdum, $3}' /tmp/pw
Finally, set ownerships. This assumes you want the user's home
directory and files owned by the user and the default user's group:
# awk '{print chown -R, $1.$2, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
# rm /tmp/pw

Problem with USB Kodak DX4900
Hello everyone, I origionaly posted this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but recieved no responce as of yet. I'm hoping that someone here might point me to the right direction as to where I may be able to better ask this question or even help me right away if possible. Since my last message I have turned on USB debugging and have some more information showing up on the console: usbd_new_device: addr=3, getting first desc failed uhub_explore: usb_new_device failed, error=TIMEOUT uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1 After removing the device I get uhub0: port error, restarting port 1 Also after enabling the debugging I have noticed that the other port (2) in which my scanner is attached works dispite port 1 being disabled when I try to attach my camera (See below). I would relly like to try getting this camera to work in FreeBSD! If anyone can help me I would love to help allow this camera to be added to FreeBSD's support list :) My original message below == Hello everyone, I've been looking around the newsgroups, and mail archives the past couple of days, but I still can't get the thing to work. When I try to connect the Kodak DX4900 digital camera to my USB port, I get (After a slight delay) the following message appears on the console: uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1 After that my Mustek 1200UB scanner stops woking with a similar message identifying port 2 this time. Only a reboot with the Camera not attached will reenable the Mustek Scanner again. the output of usbdev -v will print a message on the port where the camera is installed this can't happen! (Or something simmilar). My VIA chipset seems to show up often when I'm searching for USB problems in the newsgroup and freebsd archives. I'm starting to assume that the VIA USB chipset is not all that its cracked up to be. Please note that I'm not subscribed to this mailing list so please remember to include me in the CC when responding to this mail.

Dell PowerVault 122T
Greetings, Has anyone used a Dell PowerVault 122T tape loader with FreeBSD. Specifically I am interested on how well the tape changing works. - Mike P.S. I would like to use the 122T with the LTO tapes, and Amanda to do our backups. I use two Sony AIT SDX-400C drives now. I have been looking at the 122T as a potential upgrade in capacity for our system. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Linux comes out the fastest because they do fun things like including support for http in the kernel. I have heard of a lot of problems with postfix on Linux because the filesystem doesn't journal properly so in the event of a crash all your mail is lost (postfix was told it was delivered, etc). Recent research into NFS I have done also suggests that Linux is much slower than FreeBSD due to the nature of network buffering. I would say that the benchmarks were performed on stock installs without optimizations (such as recompiling the kernel to take advantage of a P3 or better). Given the opportunity to tweak each setup, my guess is Linux and FreeBSD would be on top, with Windows ranking last (because it's not open source, you have less control - what you get is what Microsoft gave you). I'm not advocating any operating system above any other. I think people should determine what they want to do with their system, find out what platforms are capable of handling it, and perform their own benchmarks for their particular application.

Mouse Murder

Having tried it like this my mouse still not aiming correctly, I'm losing hope... Unless you guys can provide any? --- Previously I wrote --- During X sessions, my mouse pointer is fine (usually). Intermittently, and without any obvious reason, the mouse pointer aim shifts approximately 1.3cm to the right of where the actual pointer is acting. I feel like I have to explain further as its that weird... If I wanted to select the * section, in the Test Area: below, I would position my cursor / pointer in front of the first * then click_n_drag to the right, till all the *s were selected. In fact what actually happens is that I'd have the @s selected instead. That's how far out of alignment it goes. It makes things a bit difficult using windows dialog boxes, when you have to place the pointer over one button, to be able to press another! Test Area: @* This weirdness also happened when I was using Linux Mandrake 8.2, (before I discovered what a great idea FreeBSD is ;-) Not wanting to sound (too) lame, this didn't ever occur when I used Windows 2k Pro or XP Pro. I get the same problem when in either GNOME or KDE. I had it when I installed FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE still have it after updating (tracking STABLE), using CVSup. A reboot is all that will get things back on track for me. I know how to kill moused but I am not sure how to restart it within or without X from the command line (which I might be able to reach without a mouse, right?)... I suppose I could exit X, kill moused, restart it, then get back into X, but I'd still need to know how to run moused (OK, I'm sounding lame now).

Re: Mouse Murder
OK, I'll try with another mouse ps2 style see if it is any different. As far as killing the moused, I'd be fine if I knew exactly how to restart it, to see if that will fix the problem without rebooting... I believe it's currently set up as /dev/sysmouse. I have not actually needed to set it up as simply starting the mouse demon in /stand/sysinstall makes it work. I have not configured it since. MS Windows sees the mouse pad as a ps2 mouse.

If you look at the 'Sidebar 2' page, they state a few OSs they use internally, Linux being one. I suspect that they might be knowlegeable about Linux, Solaris and Windoze and performance tuning each (look at what they use them for). The only BSD they have is OpenBSD for their firewall(s). Not much tuning needed there to get good network performance. Same goes with FreeBSD if all you are doing is using it for a firewall. Based on this I'd say they have little to no experiance tuning FreeBSD/*BSD for performance. That being said, anyone that claims FreeBSD's performance isn't that great is probably full of shit.

Additionally (if you really want to crank up the throughput) you can format and mount partitions with options that better benefit their purpose (such as mounting noatime on a /tmp partition).

On single drive machines I usually make only one partion, what reasons are there to slice it? [SWAG follows] From a performance standpoint, putting them on separate slices on the same disk is probably a loss. It forces the blocks in those file systems to live spread out across the disk, meaning the time optimizations are constrained to those blocks, whereas if you put them all in one file system then the disk scheduler can play with the entire disk. That said *THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY PRACTICAL DIFFERENCE*. The scheduler already slices partitions up into cylinder groups and tries to make files live on specific cylinder groups. Having different file systems just means lets it pick from a smaller set of cylinder groups. If your disk is so heavily loaded that this makes a difference, you really want multiple spindles. There are administrative reasons to split them up. For instance, the backup for /usr is the FreeBSD CDROM set. / and /var I create backups for, so /usr gets it's own file system, and /var lives on /. On a second system, / and /usr are mounted read-only - well, they should be - but /var has the web site on it, which gets updated at regular intervals. So /var gets it's own file system, and /usr lives on /. On my test system, which gets config files stored in perforce, I just make everything one big file system. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

This process left everything I had intact except I lost my sendmail soft link which had pointed to the sendmail replacement provided by qmail. The link was replaced by the sendmail binary with the result that I suddently had sendmail running again beside qmail. The correct thing to do is to leave the sendmail binary alone and tweak /etc/mail/mailer.conf so that the sendmail replacement is invoked instead of the base-system's sendmail. Yes, I actually corrected mailer.conf when the problem occurred, but I have heard that some software will try to use /usr/sbin/sendmail explicitly ignoring mailer.conf. /usr/sbin/sendmail is a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper. ie invoking /usr/sbin/sendmail will consult /etc/mail/mailer.conf. This is exactly my point, we are running our selves in legacy circles to comply with the original application. And even worse, we are continuing to conform for how sendmail wants thing, and still calling it sendmail. So, for example, if you install postfix...It replaces the sendmail executable also. So, sendmail (mailwrapper version), points to sendmail (postfix replacement), which finally points to the postfix delivery app. Seems a bit much... Now that I understand this I have to say I agree with the way things are. Using the name sendmail makes one side of the community happy, effortlessly. Providing hooks to allow inserting a substitute for the standard binary makes the other side (or sides) of the community happy, basically effortlessly. Making /usr/sbin/sendmail a symlink I am guessing permits one to customize without using the mailwrapper mechanism, for those who don't like it. I am guessing that using mailwrapper probably results in a performance hit compared to modifying the usr/sbin/sendmail symlink to directly point to the ultimately-desired sendmail binary. My confusion resulted from a faulty memory of what happenned, which I correct here: In my case I had been altering the sendmail symlink, and this conflicted with my VPS provider's standard system upgrade procedure, which replaced my altered symlink. By using the mailwrapper mechanism instead of replacing the symlink I perhaps take a performance hit, but I have accepted this to avoid the problem on future upgrades. I suspect the performance hit is minor compared to everything else that goes on in one of these email transactions, but would appreciate confirmation if anyone else has a better sense of this.

Boot loader failing?
Googling the archives wasn't much help, so I have a test machine that boots a number of things, FreeBSD -stable and -current among them. I tried installing the latest 5.0 CDs, and that failed miserably (the install process insist you have a swap, but can't find the one I use on ad0s6c). So I rebooted the system to go back to -stable. It failed to come up. Since this box runs a variety of OS's, including two different FreeBSDs, I use grub to boot it. It loaded the grub stage2 boot and then went to the grub command prompt. Trying to run the boot by hand - via root (hd0,1,a) - gets the message no such partition. When I ask grub for a list of partitions, it lists the two FreeBSD partitions, but says it can't find sub-partitions for them. I can boot FreeBSD-stable - I haven't tried -current - as if it were Windows: make the FreeBSD partition the active partition and run the standard MBR. I tried installing boot0. It lists the XP partition and the two FreeBSD partitions (so much for Linux). Asking it to boot the two FreeBSD partitions results in beeps. It boots XP just fine - which means that entry is slightly more useful than the FreeBSD entries. I tried getting the latest version of grub, but that's a no go. I can boot it off the floppy, but it doesn't see sub-partitions either. If I boot -stable from grub as described above, everything comes up and works fine. I can even mount the -current partion and see that everything is as it should be. But neither boot loader seems to work. Clues? Hints? Request for more information?

ISP billing/etc software
Hello, Got a question for anyone in the know. I need to install some billing/account management/ change radius passwd etc. software for an ISP. So far the good ones [I think] that I have found are:freeside ispbs ispman Anyone know / can recommend one of those or something else [they are not in ports so I assume there should be something better that is in ports]that will do automatic credit card billing, user can change radius password, check his bill/account, and other various isp stuff. [should this be a -isp question?] Another questionmy mail server's IP resolves to domain.com, I tried sending an e-mail to -questions from there but I keep getting this error: Client_host_rejected:_cannot_find_your_hostname so should I fix my reverse DNS to map IP to www.domain.com instead of domain.com?, if so why?? ---FreeBSD The Power To Serve--- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Video config for X on EPIA-5000 board
Playing around with my nice and completely quiet VIA EPIA-5000 board and I'm so far not able to get X happily configured. Dmesg describes video hardware as a Trident 8500, but there is no equivalent listed under XFree86's card list. I've tried both VESA and standard VGA to no avail. I do know that this board uses main system RAM as video memory, if that helps. All I get now is failed attempts to run startx. I'm hoping someone out there has already figured this board out.

If you're getting the error cannot find your hostname domain.com then what you have to make sure is that domain.com resolves to an IP address. You're other option is to change what sendmail (or whatever MTA you use) says on the HELO line to something that resolves to an IP addy.

It doesn't matter what IP, just some IP. Most MTAs default to using the hostname configured for the machine, so if you set the hostname to something logical (like mail.domain.com) and the DNS is set up to properly reslove mail.domain.com = 192.168.1.1 (or whatever) then everything will work.

Re: NIS Server with amd.home
Hey, Hi. I'm getting ready to setup a NIS server for a LAN, and I'd really like to use FreeBSD again. However, the last time I did this with FreeBSD (4.6, so not that long ago), I couldn't get the server to build a map for the home dirs. I tried an awk script in the Makefile that I saw online, but that didn't help. It seemed like it just wouldn't build the map. The only way I could get it to work was to create an amd.home with all of the users in it and put it on all of the client machines... This was too ugly. Indeed. Can anyone help? Perhaps. This may or may not help, but here is the Makefile from /var/yp on our NIS primary. You'll likely need to scroll down and extract our amd.home rules from it and integrate that into yours. After that is the rc.conf entries for amd Good luck. - Mike # # Makefile for the NIS databases # # $FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/ypserv/Makefile.yp,v 1.28.2.3 2001/05/18 18:28:02 gshapiro Exp $ # # This Makefile should only be run on the NIS master server of a domain. # All updated maps will be pushed to all NIS slave servers listed in the # /var/yp/ypservers file.

What difference does it make as to wether these partions are seperate. I realise if you have more than one ide drive then having them on seperate drives is alot better. On single drive machines I usually make only one partion, what reasons are there to slice it? [SWAG follows] From a performance standpoint, putting them on separate slices on the same disk is probably a loss. It forces the blocks in those file systems to live spread out across the disk, meaning the time optimizations are constrained to those blocks, whereas if you put them all in one file system then the disk scheduler can play with the entire disk. That said *THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY PRACTICAL DIFFERENCE*. The scheduler already slices partitions up into cylinder groups and tries to make files live on specific cylinder groups. Having different file systems just means lets it pick from a smaller set of cylinder groups. If your disk is so heavily loaded that this makes a difference, you really want multiple spindles. There are administrative reasons to split them up. For instance, the backup for /usr is the FreeBSD CDROM set. / and /var I create backups for, so /usr gets it's own file system, and /var lives on /. On a second system, / and /usr are mounted read-only - well, they should be - but /var has the web site on it, which gets updated at regular intervals. So /var gets it's own file system, and /usr lives on /. On my test system, which gets config files stored in perforce, I just make everything one big file system. mike I Disagree.. it will make a difference. If you partion /var near the beginning of the disk (the fastest part - outer tracks) it will force all the stuff in /var (being logs and stuff) to live at the faster area of the disk. If your server is being hit really hard, im sure you dont want it seeking all over the disk to write to logs. This could potentially add up to quite a performance hit. While an attempt is made to ensure that a file exists in the same cyl group, there is no garantee. if your logs grow to be quite large. im sure there are several other reasons to make seperate partitions. Off the top of my head: stop file systems from filling up if you have a process dumping large ammounts of data some where, if one file system is corrupted, you dont lose _everything_. Discounting the potential pefformance benefits, these two reasons alone should be enough to create seperate file systems. --Shaun To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

FreeBSD and AMD power management
I have noticed that my Compaq IA-1's (AMD K6-2/266 VIA chipset) run substantially hotter under FreeBSD than under Linux. I didn't realize just how much until the machines began spontaneously rebooting under load. Right now, I have a minimal 4.7R install (with X) running from a microdrive - but I don't have problems until I start running X for long periods of time. I am migrating from Midori linux with kernel rev 2.4.18, and it can go for weeks (even months) running xmms locally. Just windowing xmms from another machine will cause spontanous reboots under FreeBSD. It doesn't appear to be a kernel panic - this machine has a thermal protection circuit which will hold the system in reset if it gets too warm, and so far, nothing has shown up in the logs (beyond the usual startup message regarding / being unmounted improperly). This leads me to believe that FreeBSD isn't issuing halts when it is idle, or the CPU is simply idle less. I have noticed that FreeBSD accesses the microdrive a *lot* (though Linux may be as well, but I can't hear it because it's running from flash) Is this a normal limitation in FreeBSD, or did I miss something in the kernel config?
