If your users are dominantly on windows or macos(x) - then simply
installing 'mod_dav' from ports, WebDav will meet the above requirements.

Newbie's installation of portupgrade fails...

[Rommel B. Ikeda]

Dear Aaron Siegel,

I tried what you recommended to me, the installation of "portupgrade"
# cd  /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
# make install
# make clean  
Below are the result of when I tried to install...

Hi,

I have been using a Promise Fasttrak TX2 for my RAID1 filesystem. It works
like a charm under FreeBSD and is "officially supported". But if you need
RAID5 then I recommend FastTrak TX2000 which is also officially supported
by 4.8. It also supports hot swappable hard drives.

Fasttraks are also quite inexpensive. I can't say what is the difference
between Fasttraks and more expensive onces but I am happy with my
Fasttrak.

You want the stepping to be the same.

You may not be happy with P III's.  I'm not sure if the SMP code
has been changed to handle only the xAPIC now, or not; there was
a discussion a little while back about supporting more than 16
CPUs in a machine, which would require this change.

I know that my Dual P90 machine has been unable to run -current
for quite some time due to some changes that went in to the low
level mp_machdep code.

ANOTHER UPDATE: If a package is matched by a portglob in
pkgtools.conf, then it will only output stderr, and not stdout to the
console... Anyone know why?

[cool46 cool46]

how can ignore SEGV signal on Freebsd?I am not mean  setting SEGV's handler 
to SIG_IGN,this way can prevent program to exit,but can't restore 
environment to continue this program,so the program will hang and can't 
exit for ever.I see a way in Linux,you can see 
http://kaizo.us/mirrors/phrack/phrack58/p58-0x03  ,but this is depend on OS 
because it is closed to OS' underlying layer and it is not works on 
Freebsd.Could you give me a example?thanks.

Make sure the stepping is identical.

Some motherboards require Tualatin's to be able to run dual, others will 
happily run even Celeron CPU's in smp.
I personally run a Dell Poweredge 1500SC motherboard with two Tualatin 
1.13GHz PIII's, and Ive had no problems at all with it. I also run a MSI 
649D-Pro motherboard with two PIII 1Ghz (not Tualatin) which also works 
great, but performance wise it's no match for the dual Tualatin.

I would say Tualatin's are youre best bet, they are a little expensive 
but they work great in dual systems, thats what they are designed for. 
Just make sure your motherboard can handle Tualatins.

Excellent resource!  Thanks for posting this!

BTW: Since the PIII's run in slightly older motherboards, it's
probably worth pointing out that a number of the Intel chipsets
are known to have problems with PCI bus master arbitration when
you have more than 2 PCI bus master devices in the box; the one
I definitely recognized as being a problem was the NX, but I had
also heard there were issues with the FX and the ServerWorks III,
as well.  Checking "Tom's Hardware" is probably a good idea.  I
didn't see this mentioned in any of the "Notes"/"Comment" sections.

Have a look at Bricolage
From the website http://bricolage.cc/

Bricolage is a full-featured, open-source content-management and publishing 
system. Features include intuitive and highly configurable administration, 
workflow, permissions, templating, server-neutral output, distribution, and 
document management.
 
Bricolage is written in Perl using HTML::Mason and Apache/mod_perl. Bricolage 
uses the PostgreSQL relational database to store content. 

The Bricolage publishing system supports pluggable "burners" providing 
templating facilities. Bricolage includes burners for HTML::Mason and 
HTML::Template. There are more to come!

We are about to trial it.  It has had a good rap in various reviews.

Digicam, umass

[Kai Haberzettl]

Hi, 

trying to get my HP Photosmart120 to work with 4.8-STABLE. It does umass so 
I just want to mount it. 

When I plug in the camera, I get this: 

umass0: Hewlett-Packard hp photosmart 120, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2
umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (IOERROR) 

and there seems to be do device configured that I can mount. 

usbdevs -v gives me: 

arthur# usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x), NEC(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: self powered, config 1, hp photosmart 120(0x4002), 
Hewlett-Packard(0x03f0), rev 1.00
port 2 powered 

umass support is in the Kernel and I did 'camcontrol rescan 0' 

Any ideas where to look next?

tv-out under FreeBSD R4.8

[Franz Stieber]

Hi!

I would like to use tv-out under FreeBSD R4.8. At the moment I don't
have a tv-out graphic card. So I hope someone with experience can tell
me which card is the best and how his/her configuration looks like. I
only found documents on the web which were not clearly understandable.

I found the program nvtv for the nvidia cards, but it is not possible to
compile it under FreeBSD. Does it run with the linux-emulation under
FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Franz

I'm using it under FreeBSD-4.8 with Linux emulation with no problem (and 
this is a very nice piece of software).

I have a HP FotoSmart 315, and I also had weird errors when trying to
get it to work in FreeBSD. I ended up spending $30 to get a SanDisk card
reader, and haven't had any problems since. Perhaps an option to
consider ..

Re: Newbie's installation of portupgrade fails...

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello Rommel

How are you connecting to the internet?  Were you connected to the internet 
when you tried to install this port? Are you in Japan? I tried to install the 
port myself and was able to download it with out any problems .

Try to ping the one of the ftp servers if successfull you should see the 
output below, if you are in Japan try the to ping the server 
ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org:

Re: Qmail Upgrade

[Raider]

You can simple copy the old domains to a new install without problems i do
that many times.
dont forget to make the same to your autentication system too, some time i
must create and delete after copy de domain.

Good luck .

I have had HELL with an adaptec 2400A card.  I know of another user on

wouldn't wish the pain this card has given me on my worst enemy.  ;-)

Nice information, which makes me wonder..

I'd always waned to know if it is simply possible to just run (linux)
programs under linux emulation. If so, HOW do you install those linux
proggies? Do I do some kind of chroot and install them in the "linux
part" of the system?

I want to experiment with some linux stuff under freeBSD. Is this
possible. And you need (linux) binaries I presume.. No tarballs?

Just get some binaries and put them wherever you want. Shared libraries
must go in /compat/linux/lib or /compat/linux/usr/lib.

If you want something REALLY fun, try making a Linux from Scratch system
on FBSD. You'll need to make two cross-compilers first: one 
build = FreeBSD host = FreeBSD  target = Linux
and one
build = FreeBSD host = Linuxtarget = Linux
(Linux emulation)

Not for the faint of heart. (I couldn't do this, so maybe this is all wrong).
-- [off topic  ends  here] --

For sane people, no tarballs, just binaries. :-)

But yes, just put the programs wherever you want.

But they must be branded:
$ brandelf -f 3 myprog

If you use rsync - below is something that has happend with the result 
of delaying some emails for about 2 hours:

"We were in the process of changing the server over to a RAID 5 array, 
which required that we mirror all of the files over to the new hard 
drives.  To do this, we used rsync, which tends to handle files very 
well doing large moves like this.  There was one file required by Qmail 
that was a named-pipe file.  I've personally never seen one before, and 
apparently rsync didn't know how to deal with it so it simply didn't 
mirror it over.  These named-pipe files apparently allow two separate 
processes to communicate with each other (usually only processes under 
the same parent can communicate), and since Qmail has separate 
processes running for the different jobs it does, it would now have to 
wait for one process to finish so it could deliver a burst of email."

I understand, but upgrading this machine has a cost and I must be absolutely sure this 
will not introduce new problems
as previous upgrades did.

df/nfs anomoly

[John Ekins]

Hello,

I have some NetApps mounted up via NFS on our FreeBSD 4.7 machines. I added
another disk to one of the volumes on NetApps (need the I/O rather than space)
and I find that the size returned by df has wrapped:

netapp5:/vol/vol3 -1019785316 519424028 608274304   -51%/foo
netapp7:/vol/vol3  1071313416 497031824 57428159246%/bar

I can't see any functionality is affected by this, but I thought that NFS in
FreeBSD was using 64 bit sizes already, so I guess this is a limitation in df?

Help/useful comments welcome.


Note the REMOVE in the email address.


Cheers,
John.

Calling all raid experts

[Darryl Hoar]

Greetings,
I need to build a file server for our marketing departments documents
and images.  I want to use Freebsd.  Since the data is large, and
backups would be difficult I was wondering if RAID would be a solution.

I thought that RAID 5 would be the ticket, but after reading up on it,
maybe not.

Isn't RAID 5 the one where if a disk fails, you plug a new one it and it
regenerates the lost data ?

thanks,
Darryl

Sendmail_enable

[Michael Conlen]

FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE

I thought the following were true

sendmail_enable="YES" # start all sendmail processes
sendmail_enable="NO" # don't start an inbound process
sendmail_enable="NONE" # don't start any processes
Is this true?

The reason I ask is that  sendmail_enable="NO" appears to be starting an 
inbound process. I would like outbound only.

You have two main choices: RAID-1 and RAID-5.

If N is the number of disks and M is the size of the smallest disk, then...

RAID-1 will give you M amount of space. As long as one disk still works, you
can have multiple disks fail at the same time; just replace them and your
data's back. Reads execute at N times the speed of single-drive reads. Writes
are normal speed.

RAID-5 will give you M*(N-1) amount of space. If one disk fails, you can replace
it with no loss of data. But if two disks fail at the same time, your data's toast.
Reads execute at about N times the speed of single-drive reads. Writes
are slower than normal speed.

Re: Calling all raid experts

While RAID5 gives efficient use of disk space for situations where you have 
5 drives, its NOT a substitute for backups nor is it necessarily the best 
thing to use depending on the application.  Writes for example are VERY 
slow and  depending on the card, direct reads can not be that great 
either.  Having a mirror of your file system containing

/home/data/very-important-big-file

will not stop

rm /home/data/very-important-big-file

It just obliterates it off all your drives.

If you do a lot of reading and writing of the disk, RAID5 is not 
necessarily the best. With IDE drives dirt cheap, consider something like 
RAID1+0 (aka RAID10). It offers the best of speed and safety, at the 
expense of space.  In some cases, RAID1 might do you well.  With the 3ware 
cards, reads are optimized and writes are hardly penalized.  If you need a 
lot of space, consider the 3ware cards. Solid FreeBSD support, are 
relatively inexpensive, and have done me VERY well over the years.

For this particular software (nvtv), I just run the executable from

installed linux-gtk before using it since it depends on it.

ps2pdf

[thursday]

Greetings,

Ok, sorry for the idiot question, but I am a bit confued. 

I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 (FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0), and I need to 
avail myself of the ps2pdf utility. 

I understand that this utility is part of the psutils suite, which I installed from 
ports without any problem. 

But ps2pdf doesn't install anywhere (and doesn't exist in 
/usr/ports/print/psutils-letter/work/psutils). 

So I am a bit confused. It's installed by default apparently on a couple of Linux 
boxes I have access to, but I'd rather use my FreeBSD machine rather than the linux 
boxen.

I know ps2pdf is just a shell script to gs (but gs isn't installed either); can 
someone in the know give me a shove in the right direcetion? 

Thanks!

Promise Serial ATA Installation Target

[Andrew Meaden]

G'day,
I've looked into google a lot, tracked some mailing lists, and had mixed
success using the 'try everything on everything else' method, but alas I am
stumped.

I'm trying to install FreeBSD Release 4.8 onto my system, but the installer
(and related ata kernel module) only recognises the motherboards onboard
UltraATA 100 controller, which it correctly detects as an ICH4 chip. If I
manually set ata0 to the io and irq of the onboard raid controller, it
detects the SATA controller correctly. (The controller is an Promise
Ultra/Fasttrak-133 TX2 controller, which has 1xATA133 ports and 2xSATA 150
ports, and Windows detects as a Promise FastTrak 376 Controller. (PDC20376))

The drive itself comes up as ata2 in the installer if I fiddle apropriately
(setting the
io=0x376 and irq=10 for the ata0 device, which strangely doesn't remove the
ata0
device and readd it on the different controller, but instead keeps ata0 and
detects ata2
in addition to ata0 and ata1), and there are no other hard disks in the
system. Installing
Windows 2000 or XP requires the hardware installation disk, as this
controller isn't a
standard Intel ICH* chip, so I'm expecting there will be some form of
teething problems, but from everything I've read, FreeBSD is supposed to
support this controller out of the box using the ata module. However I have
a feeling that it may be detecting my UltraATA controller and not looking
any further into the system? Or will the ata module autodetect every device
it supports?

Is there any way to inform fdisk that there is in fact a disk on ata2? It
can be seen if I perform lsdev from the root image before stepping into the
kernel configuration stage, and the partition table is read correctly.

TIA,
Andrew

mailman install and setup

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I am trying to get a mailman list running on freebsd 5.0. I am confused
as to which pre-install tasks need to be done before doing a 'make
install' (or in my case... a make deinstall, make reinstall) on mailman.

Here is what I've done so far:

(1) adduser mailman
(2) built apache13
(3) added the lines to attpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /mailman "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"
(4) build mailman with default settings

However, I'm getting a 'You don't have permission to access /mailman on
this server.' message from apache, and I'm concerned that I still need
to do something with Exim. I did go ahead and build Exim (with default
settings), but I'm wondering if there is some config that I still need
to do with Exim? Also, am I doing this in the right order?

Thanks

Kirk

It does that through the use of some checksum data that's spread across
the disks. Reads on raid 5 can be significantly faster than single disk
because data is striped across multiple disks, but writes don't get as
much of a boost because for every write, there are several operations,
including the recalculation of a checksum, and the writing of both the
checksum and data, then a re-reading of them. Writes are usually faster
than single disk writes, but the gain is not nearly as much as with reads.

Use 5.x and get the Sony DRU500A (I think that's it; the internal IDE one with
all the bells and whistles). Works perfectly for me.

Best way to add serial ports to STABLE machine?

[stan]

I've got a bunch of what I call "2nd generation" HP Vectras that I'm
redeploying for an application that gets input for Serial RS-232 devices. At
the moment the most input devices any 1 computer has to deal with is 2,
and I thought I would be in good shape using the on motherboard ports (as I
have done on the "first generation" Vectras). 

However, I just discovered that these machines have a 8250 serial chip
instead of a (useful) 16550A chip. Even ruining minicom against this port
locks the machine up :-(

Now, I can easily disable this port in the BIOS. 

So, whats the best (most FreeBSD compatible way) of adding an extra "good"
serial port or 2?

I've had success in the past with ISA card serial port cards to add 3rd and
4th ports. But I'm wondering if I can even still buy something this old?

Suggestions?

ps2pdf is installed as part of ghostscript. As you note it is just a
shell script frontend for ghostscript, so it is not of any use without
that installed.

I got a cheapie Dell 600sc server with a CERC 4-channel *IDE* RAID
controller.  It is also makde by LSI/AmericanMegaRAID and appears to
present the same interface to the system as the PERC -- FreeBSD-5.x
recognizes it right away as an "amr" device.


I expect the difference is just that it has IDE interfaces to talk to
the disk instead of SCSI.

When you have managed to log in, run "sysctl -a" and see if that one also 
hangs (it's being run as part of the initrandom-stuff).
If "sysctl -a" hangs too, you might run "top" to see that "sysctl -a" 
consumes all your CPU. You can kill sysctl with CTRL-C or a kill-command.

My solution was to go back to the GENERIC kernel and just add the three 
IPFILTER-options I needed there. With my custom kernel I'd see this problem.

I saw this problem 2-3 days ago and haven't had time to look deeper into 
WHY it's failing (or filing a PR) since I've also had to actually get 
FreeBSD installed on that server.

If anyone's interested, here's some information:

XFree zooming funkiness...

So, I finally have X11 running on this Dell Inspiron 5100, and all was
running well (well, except getting the webfonts to show up right) for the
initial 48 hours until yesterday.  Now when I start X up, all keyboard
input scrolls the screens thru 4 zoom levels.  Has anyone seen this, and
if so, how did you fix it.  X is basically unusable in this state.

Attached is my current XF86Config.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

Where to put backup files - /var/backups? [Basic DirectoryStructure Question]

[Richard Johannesson]

I have a dedicated hard-drive to store dump files on a daily basis.

Is there a typical mounting point in the FreeBSD directory structure that is
generally used for backup images? At the moment using /backup, but noticed
that there is a /var/backups directory created by sysinstall. Is this the
typical place the backups are stored?

Problems with IBM etherjet PCMCIA card

[pjgonzalez]

Hi, i've just bought an old ibm tinkpad 365XD. The machine works fine, but the CDROM 
doesn't work, so i decided to install via FTP and the pcmcia card.

When i boot with the floppies everything works fine, and the card's light turns ON 
(i've read in the documentation about that problem, but it's not my case).

But when i choose install via FTP server the menu only shows the ppp and slip adapters 
and no ethernet card .

Do you know what could be happening ?.

Thanks a lot. Excuse my bad english. Greetings from Argentina.

FreeBSD Rules .
Best regards.

its excellent, but also fairly complex and i would not install it from

5.1 mouse problems

[C Peter Biessener]

We have a test machine setup with FreeBSD v5.1.  We're using the default 
XFree for 5.1.  The machine is a PentiumPro 200 with 160MB RAM and a S3 
VirgeGX video card.

X-Windows displays beautifully, but the mouse is extremely sluggish. 
We've tried the Microsoft mouse that came with the computer, and we've 
tried a Logitech mouse, the same as we use on all of our other FreeBSD 
machines.  Both PS/2 mice behave the same (on screen).  The on-screen 
behavior of the mouse pointer makes it seem like the pointer is not 
updating but every second or two - because other on-screen focus changes 
happen before the mouse pointer moves to where the focus change happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to resolve this mouse pointer 
issue?

Thanks,

Peter Biessener
Hirshfield's, Inc.
P.S.  The test machine is the best machine we have on hand which is free 
for testing.

Vinum Sub-disk & Directory Structure Mapping

[Richard Johannesson]

Using the unlimited number of sub-disk that can be created using vinum,
what's a good way to separate the directory file structure to help limit
file system corruption? Or, what's the happy medium between limiting fs
corruption and complexity?

Here's my guess of which part of directory structure should be on its own
sub-disks/filesystem:
/   Probably
/root   Overkill?
/usrProbably
/usr/local  
/varProbably
/var/backups?
/tmpProbably - or should be on same as var?
/home   Maybe - or should be under /usr?
/stand  ?
/boot   ?

Any feedback is very much appreciated. If there is document that discusses
this basic topic while taking vinum into account, please let me know so I
can bugger off. :)

Thanks again,
Richard

You should also check man ipf and man ipnat. ipf and ipnat run completely
in the kernel, where natd runs in userland. On a slower machine this could
affect speed (lots more context switches with natd than with ipnat).

largest amount of memory a system can use

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi all,

I need to know what is the upper limit on the amount of memory a process
can use under freebsd. Using rlimit (under 4.8-RELEASE) seems to return
2GB. 

Is there any plan to support larger than this in the future 5.x releases ?

Thank you,

ipfw ruleset question

[Andrzej Kwiatkowski]

Helo.

I've got a bit strange problem..

My freeBSD works as NAT with natd.

Whene rule

divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp0

is first everything is ok,but when i try to move this rule after some
blocking spamer rules, my Nat won't work properly.

Incoming traffic is well nated, but outgoing looks like not nated.

sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass is set to 1.
I try to set to 0 but nothings changed .

Have any Idea ??

thanks in advance

I'm not sure if there's a typical place, but that's not the reason for
/var/backups existing:  that directory is used by system maintenance
scripts for holding previous versions of a few specific critical files
(e.g., master.passwd).

I don't think of the directory location as all that important an
issue:  in my own backup scripts, I've always set it up as a tunable
variable, although I've never used it as anything other than the default.

They demand that the webserver (apache) have frontpage extensions and

Re: Apache + Frontpage question

Take a look at the following:

/usr/ports/www/apache13-fp
/usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage

I believe that you can add frontpage support by adding mod_frontpage without
having to remove your current installation.

named.conf et al and home network segments

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup dns for my two home network segments,
192.168.0/24 and 192.168.1/24.  I just need internal dns access,
no outside access.

It sounds like a relatively simple problem, but I'm just not sure
how to go about it.  Do I just set up 2 reverse zones,
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa and 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa in named.conf?
Then put all the A records for both segments in the db.dsj.net
zone file?

Or should I create a separate name server for each segment?

I'd like the internal (192.168.1/24) segment to be able to access
all servers on the external segment (192.168.0/24), but not allow
any of the external services to query the internal.  Does that
mean I need two dns servers?

Help with FreeBSD Bridged Firewall

[William Knechtel]

Hello!

Help!! I'm running a PC with dual NICs and FreeBSD 4.8 as a bridged
firewall. I've got a private IP 10.0.0.1 tied to the internal card on
the
box for remote management. The firewall blocks any 10.x traffic coming
in on
the external card, so to remotely admin it, I have to shell into a
machine
on the same isolated network segment that it's on, and then shell over
from
that machine.

Today around noon, the machine suddenly stopped responding to pings. I
went
down to the server room and couldn't find anything wrong.   No notes on
the
console screen, no anomalous entries in the security or message logs.
So, in
the interest of getting it back up quickly, I rebooted it. That worked.
About an hour later, the same thing happened... my network monitor tells
me
that it's not responding to pings. So before I go down to the server
room, I
run a few tests... the firewall is still blocking packets like a champ.
I
run nmap against a host the firewall protects, and everything comes back
fine.  But when I go downstairs to the console, I can't ping out to it's
10.0.0.2 buddy, and no incoming pings work either.  I'm at a loss on how
to
troubleshoot this, folks.  I could really use a few ideas, so please
send
them along!

Thanks in Advance!

USB keyboard with touchpad

I have googled and searched in the archives of the list without success.
Is this type of touchpad supported? what can I do?

Re: Calling all raid experts

[Michael L. Squires]

I'd take a look at vinum, the software RAID array.  Performance seems as good
as hardware-based RAID solutions.

Under 5.1-RELEASE I've been told that the boot partition can be on a vinum
volume; in 4.8 that's not possible but I've used extra space to create several
duplicate boot partitions.

I've always used SCSI, but the low cost of ATA devices would certainly make me
look at them today. I've also been told that you'll need as many ATA busses
as drives, since slave devices slow down ATA speed.

Re: Vinum Sub-disk & Directory Structure Mapping

[Michael Conlen]

I normally use

/  
/usr
/usr/local
/var
/tmp
/home # or /usr/home
/usr/ports # either it's own space, or link to /usr/local/ports

Here's the rational, / and /usr can be mounted read only, /root 
shouldn't really get used, since you shouldn't be using the root 
account. when you update the source and rebuild the system then you can 
remount read-write. /usr/ports points to /usr/local/ports so it can be 
read-write as needed. /var has logs that can get out of hand, and /tmp 
gets out of hand due to all sorts of user/programer tricks that you 
never count on. Those can be read-write at all times.

I haven't sized these in a while since well, I've got disk space like 
it's going out of style, but 128 megs for /, and 512 for /var and /tmp 
are good sizes. /home is as needed. The only question is how much you 
really need in /usr which is probably somewhere around 1 GB, depending 
on if you need to build sources on that system or not.

For the security concious, if /usr is read-only at all times (except 
when mounted from single user mode) you can be more at ease leaving suid 
programs there, and disable suid from /usr/local, not that you would 
never have a problem, but... Also, having /etc/ ro is nice, but none of 
that is a good substitue for tripwire or the like.

Is this server directly behind your router and does it have a valid

RE: Help with FreeBSD Bridged Firewall

[William Knechtel]

It is directly behind the router, but does not have a viable routable IP
on it.  Only the private IP on the internal card.  

Thanks,
Bill

RE: named.conf et al and home network segments

[liquid]

You don't need to setup two servers.  You can simply create two reverse
zones for each of those networks.  Something like this (I just did a
quick copy paste, so most of this will not apply to you, be warned!)

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.192.168.0";
allow-query { 192.168.0.1/16; };
};

followed by...

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.192.168.1";
allow-query { 192.168.0.1/16; };
};

Of course, replace db.192.168.x with whatever you named your files. 

Also look at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=named.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&;

Subject: named.conf et al and home network segments

Hi,

I'm trying to setup dns for my two home network segments,
192.168.0/24 and 192.168.1/24.  I just need internal dns access,
no outside access.

It sounds like a relatively simple problem, but I'm just not sure
how to go about it.  Do I just set up 2 reverse zones,
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa and 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa in named.conf?
Then put all the A records for both segments in the db.dsj.net
zone file?

Or should I create a separate name server for each segment?

I'd like the internal (192.168.1/24) segment to be able to access
all servers on the external segment (192.168.0/24), but not allow
any of the external services to query the internal.  Does that
mean I need two dns servers?

Ignoring SIGSEGV (was: no subject line)

Of course.  What do you expect to happen?  A SIGSEGV is an indication
that the instruction being executed can't complete.  Ignoring a
signal means going back and continuing with that instruction.  You'll
get the SIGSEGV again.

There are two things you can do with a SIGSEGV:

1.  Stop it from happening.  This is preferable.
2.  Add a signal handler which performs some alternative function.
For example, you might print out some information about the state
of the program before terminating.

FreeBSD and OSX applications

[Rod Person]

Today I went to an Adobe seminar. All demos where done on OS X. I kept think that it 
looked a lot like KDE and of course I got to thinking...

Can applications such as Acrobat and Illustrator run on FreeBSD? Since OS X userland 
is based on FreeBSD it seemed to me there should be a chance of it, is there? I'm 
think these would not be as hard, but do to the MACH kernel on OS X, I'm not sure. 
Does anyone know? I also wonder if this would work with Darwin either. But the last I 
tried Darwin it would not run on my hardware. I'm I just crazy or is there a chance of 
this?

I also wonder is there a OS X emulator anywhere in the works or future?

The kernel is not the big problem. From a program's point of view there
is not much difference between the kernels even though they might be
quite different internally.
Some parts of OS X userland are taken from FreeBSD, but not all of it.
In particular most of the GUI code is MacOS X specific and *not*
available on FreeBSD. Programs which use the OS X specific stuff will
not run on anything else.

I am not sure what ypu are asking about here. Chance of what?  

Darwin is essentially a self-contained open source subset of OS X, and
is fairly similar to any other BSD based OS. Many programs for MacOS X
uses features and libraries that are only available in the full MacOS X,
and not in the Darwin subset. To run those programs you need to run
the full MacOS X.

> 
> I also wonder is there a OS X emulator anywhere in the works or future?

None that I know of. Such an emulator would probably be a quite large
project and would likely take a long time to complete. (Compare the
Wine windows emulator which has existed for several years and still has
many limitations. Mac OS X would probably be easier to emulate but
still far from trivial.)

Re: FreeBSD and OSX applications

[Lucas Holt]

KDE is a window manager for x windows.. there is a big difference 
between x windows and mac os x's window manager.

To emulate it, you would need to recreate Quartz, Quartz extreme, apple 
web kit, cocoa libraries designed for os X, etc.  In fact it would be 
like writing a more complicated next Emulator.  Aside from that, Apple 
would probably file a lawsuit.

Just do the sensible thing and buy a Macintosh if you want Mac OS X.  I 
use Mac OS X as a client and have a freebsd server for my websites.  It 
makes a great combination.

pppoe, can't ping tun0 from dmz machine

[Rocco Caputo]

I've acquired DSL.  I didn't like the modem's NAT and PPPoE, so I
switched it to bridged Ethernet and am using ppp(8) for that.  I'm using
ipfw2 for QOS things (pipes and queues).  I'm using ipf for firewalling
and ftp proxying.

Almost everything works well, except (so far) active FTP and pinging the
tun0 interface.

tcpdump shows ICMP echo requests and responses, but ping does not see
them.  Opening ipf (pass in all, pass out all) "fixes" ping.

ipfnat's active ftp proxy sees the PORT request and punches a hole
through the firewall, but incoming packets don't arrive.  Opening ipf
"fixes" this, too.

Other incoming connections seem to work fine.  DNS works fine.  TCP
works fine.

I've read the handbook, the howtos, searched the list archives, usenet,
and the web.  Nothing solved it.

So.  What have I overlooked?  Where have I gone wrong?  Would you like
to see my cling-film collection?  How about an extensive (but perhaps
not exhaustive) excerpt from my system configuration?  Ok, it is
included.

Vinum on Root

[Richard Johannesson]

Is it possible to create vinum on a root drive without using the offsets in
the vinum configuration file?

What I trying to get to is that there seems to be two styles of getting
vinum setup on a root drive:
I. 1. setup unix partitions for swap, /, /usr, and /var
   2. install FreeBSD5.1
   3. go through the bsdlabel -e
   3.1 modify the swap with the 281 offset
   3.2 add vinum partition h: with the same size as c:, but with a
16 offset
   4. create a vinum config file
-->4.1 map each sub-disk to the exact size and offset as the unix
partitions

II.1. setup unix partitions for swap and /
   2. install FreeBSD5.1
   3. go through the bsdlabel -e
   3.1 modify the swap with the 281 offset
   3.2 add vinum partition h: with the same size as c:, but with a
16 offset
   4. create a vinum config file
-->4.1 create sub-disks using simply the size you want with no
offset

Method I. comes from the Complete FreeBSD book. I actually got this to work,
but was wondering about the inflexibility of not being able to change the
partition sizes very easily.

Method II. Can't get this to work yet, but if it can work then should be
superior given the flexibility that is gained.

So, can Method II work on a root drive? If Method II works, why would you
then ever want to implement Method I?

Thanks again,
Richard

Hi everybody.
Thx for your replies.
First I tried to fix it with the

Guessed the problem belonged to my custom kernelbuild, and rebuildt

I've had the same thing happen here with RELENG_5_1.
When you have managed to log in, run "sysctl -a" and see if that one also
hangs (it's being run as part of the initrandom-stuff).
If "sysctl -a" hangs too, you might run "top" to see that "sysctl -a"
consumes all your CPU. You can kill sysctl with CTRL-C or a kill-command.

My solution was to go back to the GENERIC kernel and just add the three
IPFILTER-options I needed there. With my custom kernel I'd see this problem.

I saw this problem 2-3 days ago and haven't had time to look deeper into
WHY it's failing (or filing a PR) since I've also had to actually get
FreeBSD installed on that server.

If anyone's interested, here's some information:


When running "sysctl -a" lots of output is shown, but then it hangs. Here
are the last few lines it shows:

You need a configuration file to set up Vinum.  If you mean "Is it
possible to create vinum on a root drive without specifying offsets in
the vinum configuration file?", the answer is yes.

It doesn't have to be 5.1.

Once you have Vinum up and running, you can add and remove plexes and
move things around like that.

That'll work, but then you need to populate the volumes.

Sure.

It's easier.  You don't have to find a way to put things in your new
volumes.

Of course, there is the problem of CPUs.  FreeBSD is x86 (and alpha)

So, if I use Method I, as you specified in the book, can I then move those
particular partitions (/, /usr, /var) around without worrying about the
original unix partition layout (offsets etc)? So, the original /, /usr, /var
sizes and offsets won't limit the location of the /dev/vinum/root,
/dev/vinum/usr, /dev/vinum/var?

Ok, Method I is the best way to bootstrap the whole process, and once you
have a base setup running on vinum you still have the flexibility of Method
II anyway. If that's right, then Method I is definitely the way to go.

> Greg

For the mirroring case, should the swap partitions be mirrored too?

Was under the impression that swap might be handled by a completely separate
process and that there was no need for vinum to have to handle any swap
stuff.

Thanks again,
Richard

tape driver turmoil

[David Bear]

I have two freebsd boxes.  Box A is 4.4.  Box B is 4.7.

Box A has a cybernetics DAT tape drive.

Box B has a cybernetics AIT/dlt tape drive.

I found that with the DAT drive I must set the tape density and
blocksize or else the tapes are unreadable, ie the default driver
status set the tape to variable block with some strange density.  If
it don't set the blocksize to 512 and the density to dds4 prior to
writing to the tape, it is unreadable.  

That lead me to check these parms on the AIT drive.  However, issueing
a density command causes an error.  See below.  I was using linux on
this system prior to fbsd.  I made tapes of data sets I wanted to
restore with tar.  However, after fbsd was installed, the tapes were
unreadable.  So, I thought I'd hit the same issue with density and
blocksize.  But I can't set density.  I'm beginning to really hate
tape units as they all see very different in the way they behave.
Is there a really good FAQ on tape units for fbsd?

not also that in the man page for mt, there is no 0x30 density mode

Bad idea.  If you'd trying to repair a system failure, you'll want to be

They will for root, because you boot from the partition, not the
volume.  Also, you should understand that moving partitions means
moving data.

That depends on whether you want to still have a swap partition if a
drive fails :-)
