The manpage rm(1) says:
The rm utility removes symbolic links, not the files referenced by the
links.
So what you describe shouldn't have happened.
There is one case where removing symlinks can be confusing:
rm -rf /home# removes only the symbolic link
rm -rf /home/ # removes directory tree /home is linked to
So what were the exact commands you issued?

PPPoE (still) stalling
Hi everybody, I had posted about my problems with PPPoE stalling a few days ago and the reply to this post got me started on a couple of things. I have lowered the MTU and MRU settings and made sure that the MSS fixup is enabled. Interestingly, the MSS fixup seems to miss some packets (specifically, those which go into a queue before being sent out), so that some still go out onto the network with a too high MSS value. I noticed, that my connection hangs right after such a packet has gone out. Now, I applied the registry changes proposed in the PPP FAQ to the Windows clients which use my FreeBSD box as a NAT gateway and I am absolutely positive, that no packet with an MSS greater than 1396 goes out through PPPoE any more, so the MSS issue should be resolved now. However, my problem has not gone away. In fact, it has gotten worse. The connection still just hangs after a random amount of time, if it is being used heavily (large downloads or lots of socket connections within a short amount of tim). Packets are reported to be going out, but there is absolutely no traffic coming in (be it TCP, UDP oder ICMP - not a single packet). This happens more often now. When the connection hangs, PPP's command prompt on the diagnostic socket is still "PPP", as if it were connected. When I attempt to disconnect, it hangs for up to a few minutes at "PPp" and, once it has finally disconnected to "ppp" and I attempt to re-connect, will take another couple of minutes before finally changing from "ppp" to "Ppp" and then rapidly to "PPp" and "PPP". There is no indication of what is wrong, even if I set the log level to "+debug". Thanks for reading through my problem description. Any clues, ideas or tips are greately appreciated.

Indeed it can. The attached ~/.fonts.conf only enables AA on fonts greater than 16 point. I encourage you to checkout fontconfig(3) for more on what you can do with it.

Well - it's happened to two uf us in the past month!
In both cases the operator was copying files from one drive to another and
wished to delete files from the second drive on which the copy resided. In
both cases rm -rf removed both copy AND source! :-(
In my case I was setting up a larger hard drive from a smaller one using
dump/restore, partition by partition. I had just completed copying one smallish
partition and began copying the next, larger partition having forgotten to
change directories. Naturally I soon ran out of room. ("Bother", said Pooh).
No problem, I'll delete the wrongly copied directories from that smaller
partition, move to the larger one, and try again. Unfortunately, rm -rf home
removed home from the source /usr directory as well! :-( I presume that this
was due to /home being a symlink to /usr/home, and somehow that link remained,
so that -r referred to everything below the symlink as well as to the directory
I was trying to remove.
Whatever the explanation, IMHO rm -r should NOT do this by default.

No, without Xft support, there was no anti-aliasing. I do have some
example fontconfig configurations that selectively disable AA on certain
font sizes. However, it sounded like you wished to revert Mozilla back

natd limitations
Just curious, I have a 4.7-stable firewall box that was running rather smoothly until earlier this morning when I attempted to relocate a web server behind it. This box already had nearly 10 static nats, and I needed to add another 50+. As soon as I did the thing stopped talking to the rest of the external LAN, and NATD took up 99% of my cpu. Funily enough I was still able to communicate on the internal LAN, of course no traffic was able to pass thru the firewall. So my question is if anyone else has observed a similar anomoly?

port www/mozilla 1.2.1 disable anti-aliasing
Hi folks, sorry if this has been asked before but how does one disable anti-aliasing in the www/mozilla port (mozilla 1.2.1)? I have upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2.1 via ports today only to find that the visual display is rather seriously broken; any font everywhere is anti-aliased, even the menus, dialog boxes etc. Even worse, the fonts look as if one has written them with a typewriter with an ink ribbon that's already far beyond its lifetime.

So is there any way to make the mozilla port 1.2.1 behave like 1.1? I.e., only use anti-aliasing for large fonts in the rendered html text?

vnc slowness when freebsd is server
Hello, I have been experimenting with vnc on a mix of BSD, Linux and Windows machines. It works pretty well, with one exception. If I use a FreeBSD system as the Xvnc server then clients to it load *very* slowly. All other cominations are fine, BSD/Linux/Windows as clients are fine, BSD as a client is fine. But access to BSD as a server is incredibly slow. I am wondering if some sysctl needs a tweak ? Any more information I can give, please let me know. They are all on a 100MB Lan going through a switch. FreeBSD is 4.7 Stable as of 2 days ago. It; a 1GHz processor with 512MB, and SCSI disks, so I don;t think that is a bottleneck.

Trying again... (was rc.setiathome.conf proxy how?)
Surely, somebody here can help me get the proxy working? HELP! The documentation is pretty poor here. How do I add proxy support to the rc.setiathome.conf file? I've tried: seti_proxy_args=-proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port seti_proxy_args=http_proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port HTTTP_PROXY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port and a bunch of other variations but I always get errors and it doesnt use my proxy. /usr/local/etc/rc.setiathome.conf: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port: not found bad arg: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port bad arg: 15 bad arg: 10 etc... A better set of documentation with examples would be appreciated.

BTX halted message on Tyan Thunder motherboard ...
Yesterday, trying to resolve a problem, we upgraded the BIOs to 1.07, after which we started to get the BTX halted message above ... searching the web, I've not found much in the way of solution, but the one I did see talked about disabling teh BIOS DMA, in relation to a Compaq server, or downgrading teh BIOs ... since we can't find a BIOS DMA setting in the Tyan BIOS, we went with downgrading back to 1.06 ... ... but we're still getting it ... I'm running 4.7-STABLE on this server, with one of teh Adaptec ZCR controllers ... is there something else we should try?

Compile for FreeBSD on another Sys?
Hey list, Please don't bash me if this sounds stupid to you, but most ideas that rock the world today were subject to public loughter in the past! :P My FreeBSD server is a Cyrix C3 800 MHz / 256 MB which is slooow and my Windows Workstations has a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ / 1 GB. Is there any way to compile the sys (or even apps) on Windows for FreeBSD? FreeBSD 5.0 compiling takes for ever... Maybe with Cygwin? Any hints appreciated, commercial stuff would be OK, too. BTW: I tried to Install FreeBSD on the Athlon, but it couldn't handle the HPT 374 RAID. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Bug with quota over NFS?
Hey everyone, Has anyone seen a problem with the quota command (off of 4.7-Stable) whereby quotas are misrepresented? I have a NetApp filer that hosts my NIS users' home dirs, and I have setup 6Gig quotas. When I run quota on one of my FreeBSD boxes I get: Disk quotas for user eoster (uid 1000): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /.amd_mnt/california/home 852 2097152 2097152 53 358400 358400 When I run quota on a Linux box on the same network I get: Disk quotas for user eoster (uid 1000): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace california:/home/ 852 6291456 6291456 53 358400 358400 I've looked online for reports of this behavior, and all I have found is a bug report from 1995 that suggests a patch to quota.c. The patch simply casts limit variables to u_quad_t. Does this behavior sound familiar? I am a little leary of adding a patch from 7 years ago. Thanks in advance, Eric __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

new ipfw/nat ruleset for gateway

You want to just use 'ports' for this - there is a ssl module port which does all the right things. Compile and install this -before- you do PHP or mod_perl; as the latter need the right (EAPI extended) header files.

PROCEEDINGS will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. For expositions please contact the General chair, Dr. Kia. WEDELMUSIC-2003 aims to explore these major topics in music-related fields, to address novel approaches for distributing music to larger audiences, providing wider access and encouraging broader participation. Legal aspects and the impact of these developments on cultural heritage will be considered, together with their availability to people with limited access to classical archives and libraries. In particular, proposals and solutions benefiting visually-impaired people are encouraged, to let everybody access this large and hidden cultural heritage. Tools for disabled people will contribute to broadening their music playing and enjoyment. The conference focuses on both the challenges posed by the Internet in its role as a major player for business changes and music distribution, as well as opportunities as a new infrastructure for enabling technology. In addition, this conference seeks to promote discussion and interaction between researchers, practitioners, developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers. Of particular interest is the exchange of concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other results which could both contribute to the academic arena and also benefit business and the industrial community. WEDELMUSIC-2003 will bring together a variety of participants to address not only different technical issues, but also the impact of Internet on the preservation of cultural heritage.

re: vinum crashes machine

vinum write crashed machine
I strongly suspect you have a hardware problem. Either in the controller, or one of the disks. It is possible that something is crapping out in vinum, or in the kernel, but I've dumped massive amounts of data to a vinum raid5 volume before, and it didn't even burp - much less crash. I've also had bad EIDE disks cause the system to panic, and they weren't even in a RAID configuration; just normal data drives. As it is, Greg Lehey is "the man" when it comes to vinum, (something about writing it or other) so I'll ask the obligatory questions +What hardware is this (SCSI/EIDE/other?) +Can you post a copy of any console messages or panic info?

It's probably equivalent, but the compiler in the base system doesn't have java support, so you need to install a gcc port to get the full compiler suite.

Since you don't say what you want to use NIS for, I'll assume it's just "password lookups". This is handled by the pam_unix module which is used by default.

Those aren't on the fixit disk, they are on the root file system used by the boot process. That's a stripped system file system used for installing FreeBSD. It mounts the fixit cdrom to give you the rest of the FreeBSD world. > I don't mean to be difficult or over-demanding about this, especially to people > who are offering help, but what I was expecting was trhat some helpful guru > would have prepared a "Fixit Handbook" which might have chapters like "Repairing > a corrupt partition table" and "Restoring a lost directory" and ... whatever. > Perhaps the book Chuck suggested would do that. If such a book exists, I don't know about it. Part of the problem is that the commands for this only exist at two levels: the straightforward (you want fsck), and the incredibly baroque world of hex file editors that you're going to point at the disk. One handles all the cases you are liable to run into in real life. The other requires an intimate knowledge of the on-disk file structure, and a hex calculator - and even then what you are doing is incredibly risky. > Reading man pages doesn't tell me with any clarity which commands go with what > do do something. One really needs far more knowledge than I have to make sense > of it all. On the other hand, a "reading guide" might do a lot of good, and makes a lot of sense. Something that says things like "For problems with DOS partitions (aka slices), see fdisk(8), boot0cfg(8) and /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h. For problems with FreeBSD partitions, see disklabel(8) and /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h. For problems with the file system, see fsck(8), /usr/include/ufs/ufs/dinode.h and /usr/include/ufs/ufs/dir.h." Come to think of it, about the only reason one should be mounting the fixit CDROM is because your root file system is screwed. I think I just covered everything you need to know about fixing broken file systems. The problem is, that's not complete. You may need to know how to create dev entries - at least on 4.7. You'll want to know about mount in order to mount working file systems, and to check the broken file system once you've fixed it. If the breakage causes you to change what's mounted where, I tend to fix that in fixit mode with ed, so you may want to know about that. Maybe what's needed is an "Essential BSD commands" handbook entry, that covers the lists the commands available in Fixit mode that are actually useful for fixing a broken system? http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The /etc/rc.local script was where local daemon startup was put. With most of the ports installed stuff, there is a foo.sh script that accepts `start' and `stop' arguments that one can put in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory. This tends to be the preferred way of doing things for pre RCng versions. The 5.X version of FreeBSD uses the new rc scripts (RCng) that live in /etc/rc.d and now there is the new /etc/rc.d/local scripts that fits nicely with the rest of the stuff under /etc/rc.d.

What obsoletes /etc/rc.local is /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Server startup scripts and the like used to be bodily added to /etc/rc.local. These days, they go into /usr/local/etc/rc.d as separate scripts. That's also the correct solution for this case.

Portupgrade can't find installed ports.
Hi all, I am having problems with portupgrade and related tools on 5.0-RELEASE on Sparc64. I can't find anything relevant in the archives, nor on Google, so I turn to you ;-) When invoked in the usual manner, portinstall cannot search the ports directory structure (or so it seems to me): [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R exim ** No such installed package nor such port called 'exim' is found. But, if I supply the subdir name, portinstall finds the port: [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R mail/exim ---> Installing 'exim-4.12_1' from a port (mail/exim) ---> Building '/usr/ports/mail/exim' ===> Cleaning for perl-5.6.1_11 ===> Cleaning for exim-4.12_1 ... portupgrade has problems, too, apparently reading /var/db/pkg: [osiris: root: ~]# portupgrade -a ** No such package '*' is installed. I have the latest versions of Ruby and Portupgrade, and the pkgtools.conf is unaltered. I don't have any problems with the same versions of Ruby and Portupgrade on any of my i386 boxes. I seem to recall similar behaviour on 4.X/i386 a while ago, but didn't pursue it. Anyone else see anything similar on either i386 or Sparc64? Any ideas how to correct it? I have had a quick look through the script files, but it's all Greek to me... As always, any insights, thoughts or pointers very gratefully accepted.

Yes, it would be a bad idea. Is there need for anything under /usr/X11R6/bin while booting the system? If there isn't, then adding a path in /etc/rc that might conflict with real executables and possibly hide problems if a program happens to have the same name with something under the current PATH but works differently, is a bad idea and a bug waiting to happen.

No traffic on incoming PPP connections
Hi, I've been toying with my test FreeBSD server (4.7-RELEASE-p3) to try to set up a plain old PPP server.

I've been using the NVidia drivers since the day they were released, and I've never seen a KDE crash that could be attributed to them. That's multiple versions of -STABLE and multiple versions of KDE, everything from 3.0.x to KDE CVS.I have seen twice X crash entirely (and in fact, spontaneously reboot the machine) apparently from the nvidia drivers, but in both those cases I was playing movies via the tv-out port, and there was no window manager or desktop environment running at all. Just X, an xterm, and mplayer. If there's a bad interaction with KDE and the nvidia binary drivers, it apparently isn't affecting all nvidia based cards, making it pretty hard to work on unfortunately :(. To try: Does the problem go away entirely if you use the nv drivers? Does the problem go away if you switch to the "kde-classic" window decoration in KDE?

Try "make fetch-recursive-list" to get a list of the files to download for that port and all of it's dependencies. I'd also recommend installing from packages whenever possible in that situation.

Those aren't on the fixit disk, they are on the root file system used by the boot process. That's a stripped system file system used for installing FreeBSD. It mounts the fixit cdrom to give you the rest of the FreeBSD world. > I don't mean to be difficult or over-demanding about this, especially to people > who are offering help, but what I was expecting was trhat some helpful guru > would have prepared a "Fixit Handbook" which might have chapters like "Repairing > a corrupt partition table" and "Restoring a lost directory" and ... whatever. > Perhaps the book Chuck suggested would do that. If such a book exists, I don't know about it. Part of the problem is that the commands for this only exist at two levels: the straightforward (you want fsck), and the incredibly baroque world of hex file editors that you're going to point at the disk. One handles all the cases you are liable to run into in real life. The other requires an intimate knowledge of the on-disk file structure, and a hex calculator - and even then what you are doing is incredibly risky. > Reading man pages doesn't tell me with any clarity which commands go with what > do do something. One really needs far more knowledge than I have to make sense > of it all. On the other hand, a "reading guide" might do a lot of good, and makes a lot of sense. Something that says things like "For problems with DOS partitions (aka slices), see fdisk(8), boot0cfg(8) and /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h. For problems with FreeBSD partitions, see disklabel(8) and /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h. For problems with the file system, see fsck(8), /usr/include/ufs/ufs/dinode.h and /usr/include/ufs/ufs/dir.h." Come to think of it, about the only reason one should be mounting the fixit CDROM is because your root file system is screwed. I think I just covered everything you need to know about fixing broken file systems. The problem is, that's not complete. You may need to know how to create dev entries - at least on 4.7. You'll want to know about mount in order to mount working file systems, and to check the broken file system once you've fixed it. If the breakage causes you to change what's mounted where, I tend to fix that in fixit mode with ed, so you may want to know about that. Maybe what's needed is an "Essential BSD commands" handbook entry, that covers the lists the commands available in Fixit mode that are actually useful for fixing a broken system? http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Then open local.kbd with an editor and replace all instances of `lalt' with `meta' (without quotes). This will make the left ALT key work as META. Load the new keymap with: # kbdcontrol -l local.kbd To make "local.kbd" the default keymap at boot time, set keymap="local" in your /etc/rc.conf file. You can also map the right ALT key to META if you change `ralt' to `meta', but I don't suggest switching both left and right ALT keys to META since that would make switching consoles a bit difficult.

Buildworld Error
Greetings I've installed using FreeBSD 4.7-R ISO's, and have done so on various machines without err. Then, yesterday, one machine, after doing a cvsup to latest 4.7-R src updates, errored out on the buildworld. The system in question is a lousy Cyrix 6x86 PR166+, with 64MB RAM, and a 4GB HDD. The error it shoots out is: -- cc: Internal compiler error: Program cc1 got fatal signal 11 *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libncurses -- My question is, is there something wrong with the sources, or, has anyone else had a similar problem? Are there any special options I should use for building on a Cyrix CPU? Is the Earth still flat, and have I fallen off? Regards, Justin P.

RE: another go at natd
You have just fallen onto the unpublished secret that IPFW / NATD does not work with keep-state rules. If you use user ppp -nat so the NAT function is done outside of IPFW, then IPFW keep-state rules will function as documented. For true keep-state protection you are far better off using IPFILTER / IPNAT. Much much simpler to configure and use. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Redmond Militante Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 10:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: another go at natd hi all this is a followup to an email i sent out to the list a week or so ago. i was having trouble getting the following natd setup to work: ---snip-- two machines - one has two nics, one has one nic. i'd like to set up the machine with two nics as a gateway/natd box, and place the second machine behind it. gateway machine's kernel has been recompiled with: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE gateway machine's /etc/rc.conf: defaultrouter="129.x.x.1" hostname="enquirer.medill.northwestern.edu" ifconfig_xl0="inet 129.x.x.35 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_xl1="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" #firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" firewall_type="OPEN" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="xl0" natd_flags="" second machine's /etc/rc.conf: defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0" 'ipfw list' on the gateway machine gives me: 00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 allow ip from any to any i'm following the instructions in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...dbook/natd.html snip- -turns out my setup above was exactly right. i was informed by various members of the list that my original problem was that i was running a connection from the client machine directly to the internal nic on the gateway box, and all i needed to do was to run everything through a hub to get it to work. so, i'm nat'ing. i'm redirecting packets to my internal lan on the gateway box. i guess my question to the list would be: is a vanilla natd setup like this enough? today, i tried changing firewall_type to '/etc/ipfw.rules' instead of "OPEN", it's been problematic. i'm having trouble getting the following /etc/ipfw.rules file working with my nat setup: add 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 add 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 add 00300 check-state add 00301 allow tcp from 129.x.x.20 to any in setup keep-state add 00302 allow tcp from 10.0.0.2 to any in setup keep-state #allow tcp in for ftp,ssh, smtp, httpd add 00304 allow tcp from any to any 21 in setup keep-state add 00305 allow tcp from any to any 22 in setup keep-state add 00306 allow tcp from any to any 25 in setup keep-state add 00307 allow tcp from any to any 80 in setup keep-state #allow tcp in for webmin port add 00308 allow tcp from any to any 1 in setup keep-state #deny rest of incoming tcp add 00309 deny log tcp from any to any in established #from man 8 ipfw: allow only outbound tcp connections i've created add 00310 allow tcp from any to any out setup keep-state #allow udp in for gateway for DNS add 00400 allow udp from 129.105.49.1 to any in recv xl0 add 00401 allow udp from 129.x.x.20 to any in recv xl0 add 00402 allow udp from 10.0.0.2 to any in recv xl0 #allow all udp out from machine add 00404 allow udp from any to any out #allow some icmp types (codes not supported) ##allow path-mtu in both directions add 00500 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 3 ##allow source quench in and out add 00501 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 4 ##allow me to ping out and receive response back add 00502 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 8 out add 00503 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0 in ##allow me to run traceroute add 00504 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 11 in add 00600 deny log ip from any to any sorry, this is long winded. any comments on how to get the above rules working with my nat setup, or if these measures are even necessary would be greatly appreciated. thanks redmond To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
