What version of XFree86 do you have installed?

Mac clients often buggy and have poor support for smb networks.
Try netatalk, native server for apple networks.

Not sure what application is being used here.  It could be that in one 
case the original file is being opened and closed, and in the other the 
save mechanism is attempting to open the original file, then delete 
that file and save a new one by the same name.  Check the inodes 
involved; do some basic file creation/deletion tests, etc.  I ran into 
this issue once years ago in a Banyan Vines (Unix-based) network with a 
particular word processor.

Xft-2.1 port problems

[Michael Barrett]

Hi,

So tonight I went to try and upgrade my gkrellm2 port, and found that it failed 
when dealing with a file that was part of my Xft port.  I currently have Xft-2.0_1 
installed.  I went to do a portupgrade of Xft, and this is the error I keep getting:

gcc -O -pipe  -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/X11R6/include 
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -fPIC -DPIC 
-c xftdpy.c -o xftdpy.o
xftdpy.c: In function `XftDefaultSubstitute':
xftdpy.c:484: `FC_RGBA_UNKNOWN' undeclared (first use in this function)
xftdpy.c:484: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
xftdpy.c:484: for each function it appears in.)
gmake: *** [xftdpy.o] Error 1
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/Xft.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade93740.0 make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed)
! x11-fonts/Xft (Xft-2.0_1) (compiler error)


=

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?  I've tried going into 
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/Xft and doing a make deinstall, but my ports no longer point at 
Xft-2.0_1, they point to 2.1 and so it doesn't seem to think Xft is installed (even 
though I see it installed in /var/db/pkg).  Anyways, any help I can get on this would 
be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

The errata for the present production release (4.7), including security 
advisories, can be found at:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/errata.html

You most likely won't find manual patches though, FreeBSD is patched and 
upgraded with the CVSup system. This insures that the entire code base is 
upgraded, to prevent dependancy problems and eliminate cruft.

To get cvsup, as root:

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

Then edit the examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ and use them to upgrade 
the system. More detailed information on the use of CVSup can be found in 
the FreeBSD Handbook (which should be installed in 
/usr/share/doc/handbook/index.html)

It is my understanding that the difference is in whether the GTK
libs are linked in or not. But you could be right:

roman@freepuppy ~ 1127:0 > grep -A10 WITHOUT_X11 /usr/ports/net/ethereal/Makefile 
.if !defined(WITHOUT_X11)
USE_X_PREFIX=   yes
USE_GNOME=  gtk12
MAN1+=  ethereal.1
PLIST_SUB+= ETHEREAL=bin/ethereal
.else
PLIST_SUB+= ETHEREAL="@comment ethereal not built"
USE_GNOME=  glib12
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-ethereal=no \
--disable-gtktest
.endif

With or without the GUI, [t]ethereal's output is much more readable
(for me anyway) than that of tcpdump, and that was why I chimed in.

samba serving mac and windows

[Jon Reynolds]

We have a FreeBSD4.7 box setup as a fileserver using samba, this works
great for our windows users but not so good with our mac users. The
problem is this:

A windows user can take a document off of the fileserver and edit that
file and save it back to the fileserver, no problem.

A Mac user can connect to the fileserver and edit the same document but
when trying to save back to the fileserver they are asked to rename the
file because one by that name already exists.

I think it is a permissions problem but am not quite sure how to fix it.
Has anyone setup a samba server that serves both windows and Macs? We
have only two users on the fileserver 'Users' and 'ExecUsers' execusers
can access both users and execusers files and users can only access
users.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jon

Mounting a linux logical partition

[Cliff Sarginson]

Hello,
Is it possible to mount a Linux logical partition on FBSD ?
If so what is the syntax. I am trying unsucessfully to mount
logical Linux partition 8 (inside Linux extended partition 2) from
an IDE disk on the same machine.
I get no clues from my researches.
I only want it read-only for backup purposes.

Thanks.

Already tried many different cables.  I tried the high quality 80 Pin cable
included with my motherboard, and it detects the HD at UDMA6 (133) at bootup, 
but FreeBSD always sees both at UDMA33, no matter which cabling.

Which snd driver to use with Toshiba Satellite?

[Darren Pilgrim]

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1805-S207 notebook.  According to the (limited) 
information I can find on this machine, I believe the audio hardware is 
integrated into the ALi CyberALADDiN-T M1535 chipset.  The only thing I 
could find was the t4dwave driver, but that freezes the machine when

As a side project i would love to start my own telnet(ssh) BBS box using 
FreeBSD. I was looking through the ports and i could not find any 
software. Does such exist for FreeBSD. Any pointers/tips in the right 
direction would be a huge help.

[Joel McGraw]

This gentleman wants to know if FreeBSD can replace Windows.
Answer in Spanish below:

Josue:

Si y no.  FreeBSD es un sistema operativo basado en UNIX.  Por lo tanto 
es muy potente y a la vez puede ser un tanto dificil para un novato. 
Cabe mencionar que es software libre--desarrollado por un equipo de 
voluntarios. Cual es su motivo--uso personal o en un ambiente 
empresarial?  Cualquiera que sea su respuesta, le aseguro que FreeBSD le 
puede brindar una solucion flexible y estable.

Server locking hard -- A LOT!!!

[Muhannad Asfour]

Hello.  I've recently faced a rather odd issue that I've never seen
before.  I bought a new server (specs below), and I loaded it up with
FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE (I know, I know, not for a production environment,
but this is a personal server).  Now, whenever I get about 30
simultaneous connections, the box just locks hard.  I tested all the
hardware components (CPU, Memory, HD, NIC, etc.) and even bought new
ones just to make sure and all end up with the same result.  I can never
keep a decent uptime (never went past 2 days so far).  As soon as I get
a mediocre http load (30 simul. connections), the box just locks hard. 
I built a debug kernel, I tried everything imaginable, and I have not
found a solution whatsoever.  Everyone seems to be stumped by this.  I
tried FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, 4.7-STABLE, 5.0-RELEASE and 5.0-CURRENT on
this box.  All give me the same result.  I checked everywhere for
relevant logs to explain what is occuring, but had no such luck.  This
is truly the million dollar question for me right now, because I have no
idea why it would lock under such a petty load.  I'm not sure what to do
to fix this issue, I've tried many different areas for support and
haven't come up with anything as I stated earlier.  I'm not overclocking
or anything if that's what you're wondering.  If anyone could assist me
in any way shape or form to get this working, I would appreciate it very
very much.  Also, if you e-mail back, I'm not subscribed to the lists,
so could you please CC it to me.  In the past 4 hours, it has locked
hard about 3 times because of a 28-34 connection load.

Machine Specs:
Single Pentium IV 2.4 GHz processor
ASUS P4S533 motherboard
512MB DDR333 RAM (will be 1GB next week)
120GB Maxtor 7200rpm (ATA133) HDD

where can i find the security errata and patch section?

[sweetleaf]

I coming from openbsd, and have security question about patching.

On openbsd we can review the up2date errata and if there is a security 
issue for which a patch exists, we can download the individual patch and 
use the.   patch -p0 command to patch the src. and then just rebuild 
the binary / install binary.

The actual page is http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html  


I cant find this on the freebsd page and was wondering if such a errata 
w/patch exists for this project as i don't have time to cvs and make 
world often  and would just rather patch things myself.  

Thanks in advance.

It is now.  It's in /sys/kern/init_main.c:

1.112(des  20-Apr-99):  
1.224(des  04-Feb-03):  printf("Be nice to each other, mmmkay?\n");

But this question should be asked on -current, not -questions.

Where is the Boot Manager?

[John H Hofstetter]

The reason I'm asking where the FreeBSD boot manager is because I need to
get rid of it, make it go away.  This is not because I'm displeased with
FreeBSD as an operating system but due to the fact that I'm limited to a
56k dial up and too broke to spend any money at this time on the very
reasonably priced CD set.  This being the situation and a friend having
loaned me a Linux distribution, I opted to scrub, for now the FreeBSD
partition and load Linux.  Upon scrubbing the non-DOS partition, the boot
manager still remains and it won't allow booting to Linux and appears to
be interfering with the Linux boot manager.  For now I'm using the 30 day
demo of BootIt, and I'd like to resolve this boot manager issue before
the 30 days are up.  I must say I'm impressed with what FreeBSD has to
offer and will try a serious full blown install some day.
Thank you for any help/suggestions on this matter,
John Hofstetter

That depends on who you let write on /usr/local. If it's the same set
of people as those who can write in /usr or /, then there's no change
in security. If you haev /usr/local/bin as a place where local users
can dump things they want to share, then it's a bad idea.

You set your PATH so that /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin.

If you have already blown away the obj dir (and I was assuming that
the poster had his in /usr/obj, which he had removed) then you only
need one cleandir.

The first cleandir removes files in the objdir (under /usr/obj) and
the objdir itself, the second cleandir removes them in the new objdir
(i.e. files created in /usr/src itself).

Safe to change the position of "local" in the path?

[Paul Hoffman]

Greetings again. The default path in FreeBSD 4.7 is:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/you/bin

OpenSSL comes as part of FreeBSD in /usr/bin. If you add a newer 
version of OpenSSL, it goes into /usr/local/bin, which is later in 
the path and therefore not found without explicitly calling it each 
time.

Is it safe to change the default path to:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/you/bin

Is there a generic way to make things in /usr/local/bin take 
precedence over things in /usr/bin? For example, I remember that the 
Perl 5.8 port comes with a command that you can run that makes the 
new Perl take precedence (although I don't remember what it is). 
Should I be doing that (whatever it is) to make just OpenSSL take 
precedence, instead of changing the search path?

It appears that the current version of the KDE port is 3.0.5.  You will
probably need to use the ported version, unless you want to attempt to
download the 3.1 sources and manually apply the FreeBSD 3.0.5 patches -
and then hope that those patches still fully apply to version 3.1.  You
should probably stick with the ported version, especially if you are
just getting started with FreeBSD.  Later, when the port is upgraded to
3.1 you should either use the tool called portupgrade
(/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to upgrade KDE, and any ports for that
matter, or deinstall the current KDE port and then install the new.

Second Drive Bootable.

[Grant Peel]

Hi all,

I have a frsh install of freebsd 4.7.

I have a second drive exactly the same geometry as the first.

I have dumped and restored all the filesystems from the first to the second.

Is there a way, short of rebooting, that I can check and see if the second
drive is bootable?

(I am looking to use the second as a 'mirror' drive).

First, it is best to use on of the two FreeBSD install/update systems.
(You are looking for the ports /usr/ports) You also need to read the
CVS paragraph of the handbook, available at the website.

Secondly, it mostly safe to install (update) over your old version,
since the configurations are normally kept as the are. There are
exceptions to this. So if you are unsure, back up you stuff before
trying.

Thirtly, the tool portupgrade (named after the port sysutil/upgrade)
is a real *must*. It is an effort to minimize problems with the port
system.

box and I want to remove them all at once. Is there any problem with
just issueing this command in the /home directory: 'rm -i *'. Or is
there a better way to do this?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Jon

Look at the end of /usr/ports/java/jdk13/Makefile.
It talks about having to create a link between Java and Mozilla.
I had this problem the first time I tried Mozilla.
Creating this link fixed my problem.

/stand/sysinstall enforces the convention that the 'a' partition
contains the root of the filesystem.  Other mount points get assigned
to the 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' partitions --- if I remember
correctly that's done just based on the order that you create the
partitions.

That whole layout scheme is no more than an arbitrary convention.  If
you use 'disklabel -e' you can create pretty much whatever
partitioning you want.  Partitions don't need to be created in order
across the disk (ie. 'a' outermost, starting at cylinder 0, then 'b',
etc.).  They can even overlap, although that has limited utility.
Then all you need do is make sure /etc/fstab is consistent with your
disklabels, mount your partitions and you're up and running.

There's one restriction.  I think some filesystem management commands
may get upset if the 'c' partition doesn't span the whole slice.  That
shouldn't need to be the case anymore as nowadays there are suitable
device nodes available.  I guess it's traditional more than anything.

Cheers,

Matthew

How to upgrade...

Hello, I am just beginning with the FreeBSD operating system, I have the KDE
GUI installed and I noticed that my version is 3.0 and there is a 3.1 out, I
noticed on their site that I can download the 3.1 source, but will that then
upgrade to 3.1 or install over my 3.0?

No.  I could not recreate the problem because I do not have a machine to

RSYNC Question; date/time restriction

[Boris Köster]

Hello,

I have setup a little mirror of about 15 gig about linux/freebsd software
and my problem is that I only want to get the files dated after
january 2003 with rsync after getting the whole bunch of software.

Is this possible?

Any help welcome. I don´t need and don´t want older revisions (<2002)
of specific software. There is no reason for me why to host files that
are out of date. I will delete many files manually and don´t want to
get them again (a lot of files and directories, about 500-1000
packages or so)

snort installation issues

[Stephen Cravey]

First, you should probably be using snort 1.9.0. Read the handbook section
on cvsup to learn how to update your ports collection.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html


Second, the file you're looking for should be somewhere like:
/usr/ports/security/snort/work/snort-1.9.0/contrib/create_mysql

Third, the current ACID port is ancient and does not deinstall properly.
It also has some other bugs you'd probably rather avoid.
Look at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/47828

Get the patch, cd /usr/ports/security/acid, patch < patchfilename
and all should be well.

I think you have something else that is wrong. For example, if you check
the cvs-repository, nothing has been modified on kdegames since it was
updated to version 3.1 6 days ago. About 18 hours ago, I cvsuped
ports-all, rebuilt INDEX like you are supposed to do after cvsuping,
and then ran

portupgrade -pufr qt

This rebuilt all of the ports that depend on qt-3.1.1_2 and pretty much
includes all of kde and arts.

What version are you trying to upgrade kde from? The older versions
basically require a package delete and fresh install. They also don't
work with XFree86-3.3.6. You have to use version 4.x.

If a port requires to much space, then you need to use the prebuilt
packages.

Kent


On further checking on the /audio/arts port, I found the following: When I 
try to update the port, a wrong version is indicated - the installed 
version is  arts-1.0.4,1 and the portupgrade program is trying to updat to 
3.1,1 (which doesn't exist).
On the ports site, there is no link to the sources - What is going on here?

BTW, I am using the latest version of XFree86 (4.2 or whatever, not the 
3.6.6) and I regularly update - usually on Weekends. Usually, the problems 
I encounter are just the kind of thing I am experiencing now, there is no 
source listed for the arts program and the rest of the KDE3 port seems to 
be unaware of this  :((

Now, what do I do? :((
PJ

I had problems upgrading my KDE to 3.1 myself.  This is what I did to get 
it to work correctly.  Well, it wasn't an upgrade using the instructions 
below - its actually a complete reinstall.

Unfortunately, doing a portupgrade on kde didn't work for me.  BTW, I was 
going from KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.1.  I had to in this order manually:

1) install kde3libs
2) install kdebase3
3) install kde3

I'm not sure if the instructions at 
http://freebsd.kde.org/instructions.shtml would have worked for me.  I 
found this AFTER I got 3.1 to install :(

For some reason, doing the portupgrade for kde3 fails because it complains 
an option was selected to not install the KDE source.  I also was missing 
/usr/local/include/ltdl.h which comes with libtool for some unknown 
reason.  I had to goto into the ports directory for this port and run "make 
patch" and manually copy the ltdl.h file into /usr/local/include.

I /may/ have done some more manual steps after step 3.  I can't remember 
honestly as I did this last week and didn't write down everything I did.

I didn't say that.

qmail does send a copy of the mail to every receiver while postfix
does a (limited) kind of grouping receivers based on the destination
domain. This may perform better when

a) you or the receiver has bad connectivity
b) attachments are large (we had typically 30MB or more)
c) the sender is so kind to address several people at the receiving
   domain (sending to ten people instead one)

In this scenario qmail sends 300MB (for ten people) while postfix
*may* reduce this to 30MB one time by grouping the receivers.

This is a rare situation for ISPs but more common at some type of
businesses.

In any case sending such large attachments is stupid (wrong service
selection) and addressing several people is additionally stupid. But
that's life - it's not easy to change peoples behaviour.

Well, it's not really just my assessment, it's actually in
/usr/ports/emulators/vmware2. I think it's still possible to get it up and
running on a -STABLE machine as long as you have a licence to use it. I
was just going to take a lot of the work that was done in that port,
figure it out and understand it, then do the same for vmware3... It'll be
a fairly long project though and again I probably won't have time to start
on it until June at the earliest (6 classes plus 30 hrs per week of work
this semester) so I'd like it if someone else at least tried to start on
it.

I use portupgrade (in the ports). It does a very good job with both updates
and keeping the dependencies straight.


So do I, but sometimes things get screwed up, for me at least. I usually 
update every week-end...
Don't you ever have problems updating?

Mounting RAID after kernel recompile problems

[Charles Cosby]

Hello,
I have a few ProLiant 3000 and 6000 machines I want to get running on
FreeBSD 4.7. I have installed and got it running with little effort on every
machine. My problem is when I try and compile a custom kernel. Even when I
compile the GENERIC kernel with no changed, it goes as far as trying to
mount / and hangs.

Mounting Root From UFS: /dev/idad0s1a

Is there something I am missing from the GENERIC kernel configuration file?
It seems like when I load the new kernel, it creates /dev/idad0s1 slice but
no partitions under it (ie: /dev/idads01a)

These machines all have Compaq SMART RAID controllers and multiple CPU's.
The reason I want to compile a new kernel is only to enable SMP support.  As
long as I dont try that, these machines hum along like a good thing.  I
fought with different linux distros over the years and must say, other than
this little glitch, FreeBSD is the best thing going.  Keep up the great
work.

The first machines specs are as follows:
ProLiant 6000 with 4 - PII 400 Xeon processors
2.7 gig of ram
First RAID on Smart 2DH with 2 - 9.1 gig drives mirrored - 9 gig slice
(/dev/idad0s1)
Second RAID on SMART 2/P with 5 - 9.1 Gig drives striped with offline
spare - 27 Gig slice( /dev/idad1s1)

/dev/idad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/idad0s1g on /root (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/idad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/idad1s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/idad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

/dev/idad0s1b and /dev/idad1s1b are both swap partitions


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Charles

This depends on your usage pattern. If large attachments are to be
handled every day and if they are sent to multiple receivers at the
same destination (-domain) then Postfix may be the better choice than
qmail. If that is not the case, qmail is simpler to administer (in my
eyes). Additionally qmail has native Maildir support.

This is what I have found to work for me...  For OpenOffice.org, I don't 
even bother building the monster.  It's just not worth it... instead I 
download the pre-compiled package from http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ 
.  I haven't had any problems with these packages, and they are usually 
kept right up-to-date.

thanks for the link; I had lost it in time :((



As for KDE3.  I don't use it, but I use GNOME2 sometimes.  I personally 
don't bother using the "meta-port" (x11/gnome2 and x11/kde3), as it 
installs more than I ever need or want (like games).

My recommendation would be to install only what you want -- and the 
dependencies of course :)

Good point; I guess I'm just too lazy to make the selections just let 
the puter do the work while I sleep. :))

Thanks, PJ

Maximum value for possible group memberships

[Gabriel Ambuehl]

Hi,
I'm in dire need to have one user belong in much more than 16 users.
So I tried upping NGROUP_MAX to 2048 (which is well above what I need,
512 would be about right I suppose) but the system would crash
somewhere at about the point it should switch from single user to
multi user (of course I did make world and recompile the kernel).
Switching back to the old kernel with the new world let it boot like
normal.

So my question, how high can I set that value? Or do I need to change
some other values to go to a high number? I don't care if I waste some
memory, security is much more important than that. And RAM is cheap these
days.


I'd appreciate any pointers on this.

Regards,
Gabriel

So did you try to create a new user called gnome, and attempt the
login?  So far, based on this information, there's not much I can do to
help you.

I think you have something else that is wrong. For example, if you check
the cvs-repository, nothing has been modified on kdegames since it was
updated to version 3.1 6 days ago. About 18 hours ago, I cvsuped
ports-all, rebuilt INDEX like you are supposed to do after cvsuping,
and then ran

portupgrade -pufr qt

This rebuilt all of the ports that depend on qt-3.1.1_2 and pretty much
includes all of kde and arts.

What version are you trying to upgrade kde from? The older versions
basically require a package delete and fresh install. They also don't
work with XFree86-3.3.6. You have to use version 4.x.


My usual procedure is this:

cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile && portsdb -Uu

I then check to see what is out of date and usually run portupgrade -ra

If there are minor upgrades, things go pretty fast; otherwise I just let 
the machine go to it for hours during off hours for me

Sometime, as I mentioned, things get screwed up - but why. Just now, on one 
machine kde would not update because of some "spelling problem" ??? that's 
a werd one - in the arts audio/arts port. To me, this means that there was 
either an error in the download or in the port (or port patch or 
whatever).  Am I wrong?
On the other machine, it was the kdegames3 that caused a problem...
What would be the best way to correct the problem? Delete the files from 
the ports directory and run cvsup again?  Or... ?


If a port requires to much space, then you need to use the prebuilt
packages.


Ok, that's quite reasonable... sometimes it is difficult to find them :))

I'd looked over the Ethernet-virtualization drivers, and I thought
they were pretty ugly (and accordingly scary), but given your previous

snort installation issues

[Bsd Neophyte]

i'm following the, "How to setup and secure Snort, MySQL and Acid on
FreeBSD 4.6 Release" off of the snort.org website. 

in the documentation it says snort should be installed through the
following: 

- 
make -DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_FLEXRESP ; make install 
- 

later it says to do the following: 

- 
/usr/local/bin/mysql -p <
/usr/ports/security/snort/work/snort-1.8.6/control create_mysql snort 
- 

the problem is this, there is no "work/snort-1.8.6/create_mysql snort"
under "/usr/ports/security/snort". 

i've also tried locating the file by using find, but it doesn't seem to
exist.

does anyone know what to do about this?

I installed Exim recently in favour of Sendmail.  I found it very easy

Recovering deleted mail from a mailbox

Does anyone know of any method (third party software included) that can be

Re: Please help. I really need Samba Print Server

Windows 2000 and NT try to use SPOOLSS functions, which come with the

Re: Minix fs offered

[Ed Alley]

I don't have it available at this time because for one thing
I don't know the best way to package it. Since the FreeBSD
source is a moving target, it doesn't make any sense to
serve it up as a diff. Although most of it exists in
/usr/src/sys/fs/minixfs there are some changes in the
main source: The modules Makefile, the Makefile for
minixfs_mount.c and the vnode.h include file needs
the addition to the enum at the beginning.
If I there is no interest in putting it in the FreeBSD
source or the ports collection, I could just send out
a tar file in mime format to interested people.

Proliant 1600, Dual PIII-550MHz, 512MB Ram, SmartArray 221,Raid 5- 4 X 18.2GB

[R. Scott Lawyer]

Has anyone out there had any experience installing FreeBSD on a Compaq 
Proliant 1600.  My machine has dual PIII 550MHz, 512 MB RAM, SmartArray 
221 Raid Controller with a RAID 5 Array (4 x 18.2GB).  I choose 5.0 
because of the listed support for the RAID controller, but will be happy 
with any version that works.  

The CD boots until it finds the DLT Tape Drive and then received the 
following error messages:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
panic: general protection fault

syncing disks, buffers remaining... panic: bdwrite: buffer is not busy
Uptime: 20s

Any help is appreciated.   I am a FreeBSD newbie.

For anyone else who needs the latest BIND version, but not necessarily
FreeBSD 4-STABLE :-)

Remember that the ports tree is not branched.  The same ports that
work on 4.0, work on 4.1, etc.

This has been asked before.  IIRC, it was Doug Barton who posted a
link to a page that explains it all.  Dig the archives for it.  It
shouldn't be hard to locate.

Yes.  Then you should also set NO_BIND=yes in your /etc/make.conf to
avoid having BIND rebuilt & installed as part of your next upgrades.

I am looking for an alternative MTA to replace sendmail on my freebsd

found :

Qmail
Courier
Postfix

I would like some opinions as to which of the 3 above is better in 
regards to security, authentication features, reliability, performance 
etc... and i guess which would be recommended for  providing ./Maildir/ 
accounts to about 200-300 people VIA Courier IMAP.

Minix fs offered

[Ed Alley]

Sorry about the re-posting; but the subject line
was omitted in the last post.

 The previous post contained the following
 text without a subject line.

In addition to being a FreeBSD enthusiast, I am also
a Minix enthusiast. I've learned a great deal about
how UNIX works by hacking the Minix OS myself.
A by-product of my hacks was the development of a
FreeBSD kernel module that impliments the
Minix Version 2 file system. The latest release
that it runs on is FreeBSD 4.6.x.

My question is whether the FreeBSD community
is interested in such a module? If so, then
how does one go about submitting a kernel
module for evaluation and possible inclusion
in the source?

My impression is that the Minix fs is a little
simplistic perhaps for inclusion in the FreeBSD
source. If so, then is it possible to submit it
as a port? I have never seen an example of a
kernel module that was submitted as a port,
however.

Thanks for the reply Matt.

The trouble with that is that you have to build it first. It would be 
nice to be able to find out the options BEFORE you go through the whole 
process of building it, only to have to build it again to use the 
options you want.


Plus you can always read the port Makefile.  It's not that hard to
work out what the options are.


Not exactly the ideal solution, is it?

It would be nice to have something like "make help" that would print 
out all the options for that port. (I'm just trying to think of ways to 
make FreeBSD easier to use.)

Re: vmware 3.2

There was a port of vmware2 to freebsd before. It doesn't require having
access to the closed-source part of vmware 3, in fact, the port should for

Problem: "usb0: 1 scheduling overruns" in FreeBSD 5

Hello all.

I just installed a news FreeBSD 5.0 server for a company here in 
Louisville. I keep getting the following errors, like every few 
minutes, in the log:

   kernel: usb0: 1 scheduling overruns
   kernel: usb1: 1 scheduling overruns

I'v turned off usbd in rc.conf, but it's still giving me these 
messages. They're filling up my message log! Anyone know what's going 
on? The motherboard does have USB ports on it. (I don't have this 
problem with my FreeBSD 4.7 installation at home, on a motherboard with 
USB ports on it.)

Correct installer behaviour?

[Neil Darlow]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I am attempting to install FreeBSD-5.0-RELEASE onto a dual IDE disk system.

I have created a single slice on each drive (ad0s1 and ad2s1) then attempted 
to create some disklabel partitions on each.

For drive ad0 creating a FS partition gives ad0s1a and a SWAP partition gives 
ad0s1b - fine so far.

For drive ad2 creating a FS partition gives ad2s1d and a SWAP partition gives 
ad2s1b - this seems odd.

Why isn't the first partition on ad2 ad2s1a? Is this correct behaviour or is 
it a bug?

Neil Darlow M.Sc.

Re: XFree86 configuration

[David Larkin]

4 days of XFree86 hell and still no further forward 

I have tried

# XFree86 -configure

this appears to recognise my graphics card and creates a file
/root/XF86Config.new

when I try

# XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new

a low resolution grey grid with an X mouse cursor appears and the cursor
moves with the mouse,
but when I move the file to /etc/X11/XF86Config. startx fails.

I checked the Monitor  HorizSync & VertRefresh and they were the same
values as on a 4.2 machine I have which works with the same monitor, i.e.

HorizSync31.5-57
VertRefresh  50-90

As suggested in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

I tried

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

startx complains

(EE) VGA(0) Can't support depth 24

changing to depth 16 results in

FAtal server error:
Addscreen/Screeninit failed for driver 0

and generates a log file shown below.


changing to depth 8 gives no error message, simply

waiting for X  server to shut down

but X does not appear

it generates log file shown below

Below are 3 files
1. XF86Config
2. XFree86.0.log using 16 bit
3. XFree86.0.log using 8 bit

Any advice on where to go from here would be most gratefully recieved.

Thanks
David

You are on the right track, trying different applications: it
will take some time to find things that run well on an older
machine. Try to get some more RAM, if you can, this will always
improve performance.
Regarding your modem you should read
# man ppp
They describe how to test your modem manually in "terminal mode".
When you found out the right configuration put it into
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf
to start it automatically.

Have fun!
