How to remove a vinum volume?

In case you didn't know, mplayerplug-in 0.80 is also in the ports collection. I experiences the same problems as you, but I managed to make the moves at http://www.apple.com/trailers work.

In case you do, there is a problem since the plugin does not use the browsers plugin setting (yet) but simply forks an mplayer process. The good news is, that mplayer respects the http_proxy environment variable, so the following wrapper script made the quicktime movies work for me (I suppose this has something to do with streaming since other movie formats seem to be downloaded by the browser (which knows your proxy) to a temporary file and then passed to mplayer) mv /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer.bin create a shell script /usr/local/bin/mplayer #!/bin/sh http_proxy=http://your.proxy:1234 export http_proxy /usr/local/bin/mplayer.bin Regards, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Well, if machine FOO=172.16.3.x/24 want's to communicate with machine BAR=172.16.4.x/24 you WILL need a router in any case. If you just want to have machined FOO and BAR communicate with PDC=172.16.2.x/24 you could do some ARP tricks but I guess you have a router in each subnet. Now your problem is with WIndowsNameService (WINS) You have to setup samba as a WINS server with local master and domain master set. Then your clients need to get the DPC's IP as WINS Server. You can do that with ISC's DHCP by adding the following option netbios-name-servers your.pdc-ip.or.name; Per definition in each subnet had to be another local master but I can remember that if there are enough machines in each subnet, so that there is alwas a masterbrowser online, it works without.

linux_base
I find I can't install linux_base or linux_base-8 without running as single user. This is quite odd, since I haven't had this problem previously. If I'm running multi-user (as toor), the build stops when installing glibc. In linux_base, there's actually a coredump, in linux_base-8, it just stops. This happens even running the GENERIC kernel (I had previously thought it was perhaps related to a custom kernel). However, if I drop to single user mode, and make install, it completes, although I get many of the following error messages intended for syslogd: linux: syscall mmap2 (obsolete or not implemented (pid = ) (I couldn't figure out which process the pid was, sorry). and the install script gives many of: no user/group rpm - using root.

So, I tried all the possibilities: a zipped and unzipped file, upper and lower case filename, upper and lower case listing in /boot/loader.conf, and nothign worked. Does anyone know the proper way the mfsroot file should be done, or another problem that could be causing this?

OpenOffice 1.1rc3-Linux on FreeBSD 4.6.2 installation problems
We just downloaded and installed the Linux binary of OOo 1.1rc3 on my wife's FreeBSD 4.8 box with no problems. My 4.6.2 box, however, doesn't want to play. I untar the install files into a directory in my home directory, run ./setup and it puts up an unpacking window (box opening and progress bar), then a text box saying 'The script file is now being read. Please wait a moment ...' - then an alert box saying 'Important program files were not found. The installation set may be damaged.' The thing is, this is the *exact* same tarball which worked on the 4.8 box. Has anyone else encountered this? Any idea what it means? I do have linux_base-6 and linux_base-7 installed, as does the 4.8 box. (We also tried the FreeBSD native tarball, but it insists on trying to install in /usr/local and doesn't seem to give the option of installing to a home directory.) - d. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can see the card in dmesg, and even get a volume control (using KDE), but cannot play any sounds. “fstat | grep dsp” shows artsd running. But running or not, I have no sound. I have searched the various related lists, checked the handbook, google.com/bsd, etc, and can find no definite answer to my question. I understand that SB Live isn’t supported, yet some people say that have them set up and working, and that there is no reason they should not work in BSD. I’m just wondering if there is anything that I can do, or are any resources to check into.

IPFW2 lets you perform firewall actions on a MAC address, rather than an IP.
You can configure a DHCP server to staticly allocate an IP address to
that machine via something like this in {/usr/local}/etc/dhcpd.conf:
host pi.codefab.com {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 66.234.138.67;
}
To be complete:
The arp(8) command does literally what was asked for.

RE: Soundblaster Live! on FreeBSD 4.8?
Yes, I did add pcm to the kernel config, and I did make the device after installing and rebooting to the new kernel. Like I said, I can see the card in dmesg, and kde even opens the volume control on the taskbar, but I can get no sound. My understanding is that SBLive cards are not supported, and if you get one to work you're lucky. Is this correct, or should they work with no problem? Is there anything I can try, or are there any resources to check?

Question on downloading and installing freeBSD4.8
Hello, I am trying to download and install freeBSD4.8 as per instructions in the freeBSD handbook section 2.13.4 (Installing from an MS-DOS® Partition). When I go to the following site: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.8-RELEASE/4.8-RELEASE/ I see a number of files in the bin directory. I am unable to open the install.html document. Am I supposed to download all the files on this site? Could you direct me to a URL from where all files are packaged and named clearly so that I know what to download?

Well, you could cram all this into a crontab line, but you'll probably
want to use the cron entry to run a script containing these commands.
This way, you can make the script more elaborate, do error-checking, have
possible alternate responses mailed, things like that.
For what you want to do, the script could be very simple:
#!/bin/sh
# send_http_log.sh : mails httpd logfile.
Date=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
cat /var/log/http/${Date}-error_log | mail -s log [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exit
and then in the crontab have a line referring to the script:
0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/send_http_log.sh
or, alternately, add the script into the /etc/periodic/* directories to
have it run by the system-wide cron.

IBM 120 G IDE -- problems
Hi, I'm trying to add a 120G IDE drive, and FreeBSD hangs during bootstrap. My current storage configuration is 3 SCSI drives on an Adaptec controller 2 floppy drives (3+1/2 and 5+1/4 -- yes!) on the controller on the mobo (a Gigabyte GA-SINXP1394) 1 Sony CD-ROM on the ATA 0 on the mobo, master 1 Artec CD-RW on the ATA 1 on the mobo, master This configuration works fine. I tried to add the drive, an IBM (now Hitachi) 120G Deskstar, as a slave on the ATA 0 adaptor. The BIOS recognizes is, but during bootstrap I get a message saying that ATA 0 has timed out on some kind of tagged operation, followed by a message indicating a reset and three dots, and no newline. The bootstrap stops right here. I've tried making the new drive the master, with and without the CD-ROM, running that cable off the other IDE interface, and replacing the cable, all with no change. I've even checked the voltages on the board side of the power connector, and felt the drive as it powers up (vibration suggests both rotation and a few seeks). I've got an Antec 420W power supply, so there should be enough juice. A drive problem seems unlikely; this was a new disk sealed in silver mylar and I expect these drives to be rock-solid.

Re: FreeBSD install corrupts neighboring partitions
I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.8 on a system which will boot it and also Windows 2000 Server. I've done this with two multiboot utilities: the simple boot manager that comes with FreeBSD and V Communications' System Commander. In both cases, I have found that when I install FreeBSD it corrupts neighboring NTFS and FAT partitions. After the install, the OSes in these partitions fail to boot or the partitions become entirely unreadable. Whether I tell FreeBSD not to install an MBR or whether I tell it to install its boot manager, the result is the same: Neighboring partitions are being corrupted to the point where one can not get to data on them. I realize that dual booting is not common, but I need to do it on this laptop. Has anyone else on the lists encountered this problem? Yes. I had it corrupt a copy of Win XP on a desktop I installed it on. My solution, I'm sorry to say, was to get another hard drive and re-install Windows on that. If I wanted to use windows, switch the hard drives in the OS detect order in the BOIS. :\ I don't know how practical it is on a laptop, but I wanted to tell you that you are not alone.

Switching the CDROM and IDE drives around may solve the problem. Since I have no one, I cannot confirm. Try to update the BIOS with very caution because only vertain version may work properly. Here is another example on latest Intel 875 chipset-based M/B. It has very headache booting problem with adding devices. Intel released a number of BIOS to fix related problem, but ??? BIOS versions 05, 06, 08, 10 and 11 are hanging on various things during boot. 07 and 09 kindly work in general cases, but must have some other issues so making Intel keep to update the BIOS. BIOS version 12 is out, but it still hangs during boot, and we do not know why because two identical machines, one can boot, where the other cannot. Common hanging issues: CDROM may need to be the master instead of slave additional I/O card, such as certain video adapters, IDE or SCSI controllers, additional external disk drives may cause system hang. -Jin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I never use artsd, all my sound is generated by esound or oss. ___ / Need to deal with core dumps? cat *.core /dev/dsp \ / Timothy Opie [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / http://www.granularsynthesis.live.com.au / \___Then later you can granulate them!!! ;)_/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Worms/FreeBSD servers/Windows clients
After dealing with one of those idiotic worms on our LAN with FreeBSD servers and Windows workstations, I realized that we don't do much peer-to-peer sharing on our LAN and connections from workstation to workstation could be eliminated with only a slight loss in convenience, as files are usually shared on the Samba server. However, blocking Windows-to-Windows commmunications would stop the spread of these silly Microsoft worms. One expensive way to do this is with Layer 3 switches. This would be really cost-prohibitive for a small company. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on modifying or inhibiting ARP so that it would not give out the MAC addresses of any of the machines on the LAN to another machine on the LAN, except the address of the FreeBSD servers, which are worm-immune. I realize that ARP would have to be defeated on the Windows machines in order for this to work. I've also considered double NAT-ing the workstations and then limiting the ports on my layer 2 switches to kill the learn function and only accept one MAC on a port. Transient users and wireless users would then be on the outside side of the 2nd NAT. I find that these users are the ones that bring in the worms when coming back from a road trip where they were plugged into who-knows-what networks. -- -Jim ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
