You might experiment with some application that starts up and kill it so the pid file sticks around. ANd if it does then check the pid files and see if it shows up in the list of process. Anyways something like that. Hmmm, take a gander at the postgresql (if you have it) start up script. I think it checks for a given pid and makes an assumption that finding a pid means the system is running but goes ahead and tries to start it up anyway. My guess is that once a failed postgres starts back it it uses the same pid file. HTH in some way.

Re: IBM 120 G IDE -- problems
My thanks to all the people who replied to my problem with the 120 GB drive. The fix -- or rather, workaround -- is to disable DMA on IDE by setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0 in /boot/loader.conf . This means that any I/O on that disk sucks the processor right up into the drive. This is OK, but barely, because I intend to use this drive infrequently but for large amounts of data. I suspect that the problem is in the support for the chipset. The manual for the board isn't very clear about the base IDE chipset; it lists SiS 963 MuTIOL Media I/O IT8705F I/O Control Sil3112A SATA IT8212F RAID The third and fourth IDE channels are controlled via the RAID system; even when it is configured to make the drives directly visible, FreeBSD can't see them. The board is a GigaByte GA-SINXP1394 (P4 Titan Series). Once again, it's running `well enough'; I have now to put the partitions on it; thanks to all who wrote. Mark Terribile __ Do you Yahoo!?

Thanks Satish Hi, I have never installed from a dos partition so you have to take this for what it is... vague remembrances from googling when I was to do my first install of FreeBSD, and perhaps they are not valid for 4.8. I think that you can get by with just downloading the bin and crypto directories and then choose a minimal install. That would give you a very barebone installation, but supposedly it will enable you to get something started so that you can get an internet connection up and sysinstall a more complete distribution. Otherwise I think that you have to download most of the files in the 4.8-RELEASE directory. This will depend on type of installation and the amount of documentation you want. Don't download the packages directory. A simple way to get all the files needed for an install is to download the iso-image(s) and burn them to a cd. Then you can either install from cd or (I assume) copy the files from the cd to your dos partition. The mini iso should suffice to get you started. Some dark memories from the past tells me that there are windows programs that lets you extract files directly from iso-images, so you might be able to skip burning to cd... You should be able to download the install.html document, but if for some reason you can't open it you can download install.txt instead. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Remember too that ipfw(8) will only log a certain number of hits against a particular rule, which is a sensible measure designed to prevent a DoS against your machine by filling up the disk space logging a great flood of similar packets.

Off-Topic: Did I receive a virus or worm?
HI all! I received an email last night from a CPE (Continuing Professional Education) vendor. The email contents contained an web address to their site where I could review my test results for an on-line course I had completed. Clicking on the address from within Kmail sent me to the appropriate, secure (https) web page in Konqueror. Below the message, however, were two blocks of gibberish. Both blocks begin with a begin line and end with an end line. There is no indication that Kmail included an attachment in-line within the email. Is it possible that the code was needed to access the web page? If so, I don't understand how clicking on the web address would send or use the blocks of code. Should I worry about these blocks of code? Thanks, Andrew L.

RE: Bootable CD Problems
Hi, Am really interested in having a go at doing this myself. Can you point me to a readme or faq to get me started ... I'm afriad not. I couldn't find anything about the topic; I had to invent most of it by just knowing how the startup process works, and how to burn bootable images. If I can make headway, I may try and do an article or something, but for now there isn't anything out there I can find.

Re: Bootable CD Problems
Well it depends on how you've done the bootable CD. I havent played with one since about 4.6.2, but I believe someone portedthe LIVECD-1.2 to english from portugues which would have made things easier. The MFSROOT is specified in the kernel you put on the CD, so it depends what you have it set as, and how you've stored your information on the CD. I always had problems trying to compile the MFSROOT into the kernel itself so hacked it around by loading the file system in through the boot loader instead. That's interesting. Do you remember how you did it? So depends how you've built it, and what/where its failing. I can't really tell; that's the problem. As I said before, it says Mount root file system from cd9660:acd0 and then hangs without any more messages. I read the things another guy posted which apparently is evidence for a buffer overrun or something like that, but I'm not sure. Id recommend just grabbing the LiveCD stuff Fugspbr made. It worked fairly simply for me, though track down the english version, as I know there is one around somewhere. http://www.fugspbr.org is the original Brasilians that made a liveCD building script. I went to the site, and they sent me to their archives. I found a link to sourceforge, but I can't read any of it. Are you sure there is an English version anymore? Anyway, I would like to know how you loaded the filesystem in through the boot loader if you could tell me; this may be a solution for me. -- Signed, Dan Harrison ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Upgrading self-installed X with Ports version?
A year and a half ago I installed FreeBSD on a laptop. I've entirely forgotten the details, but I had to install XFree86 from scratch because I needed a version that was newer than whatever was in Ports at the time. (The chip is an ATI Mobility Radeon; I installed XFree86 4.2.) I recently tried to upgrade X by installing it from Ports, and thought I had succeeded, as pkg_info and so forth are reporting that XFree86-4.3.0,1 is installed. However, I'm still running 4.2, as executing XFree86 -version informs me. I suppose this is a really stupid question, but what do I need to do to get the newer, Ports version of XFree86 to be the version run on the system? And is there anything I should be doing to get it configured properly after the change is made? Thanks very much.

Should I add a rule before 65535 that logs things ?
The first rule that matches is executed, so if you want it to log you have
to add 'log' to that line (and every other line you want to log). You will
soon find that logging can create huge files and that it is best use sparingly.

Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc will kill your current X server, and depending on your setup, may cause another server instance to start up automatically. Or it may need you to run startx(1) again.

Assigning address to physical interface on IPv6 gateway

Mail server reboot while upgrading ports
Was just going about doing an upgrade to my primary mail server yesterday and right in the middle of it doing its thing I hear a beep, it stops, then reboots. No warnings, no errors, nothing. Just reboots. Tracking it back I was somewhere in the middle of upgrading /usr/ports/dns/p5-net-dns when it burped. It's done that to me before with python upgrades on a different box. I couldn't see what was actually happening at the console as I was across the room ssh'ed in when it did this. Logs don't show anything sadly enough and for some reason I can't get the box to log portupgrade or make so I can see when errors like this might happen. Anyone got any ideas what might be happening? I did get the port upgraded, but not before having to go in and clean up the mess that this reboot left. I can't say this was necessarily caused by the dns port I was upgrading cause it's done it in the past a couple of times with other ports nearly the same way.

FreeBSD and Hot Swap rebuild on SCSI disks.
Greetings, I have setup the following: FreeBSD 4.8 and using Adaptec 2100s for the SCSI RAID 5. Currently there are 5 harddisks which have been setup as RAID 5 and 1 harddisk acts as hot spare. Interestingly, is there any tool on FreeBSD which allows to rebuild the array on the fly or is it a must to reboot and goto Adaptec 2100s SMOR to rebuild? If latter is the only option it defects the purpose of HOT SWAP capabilities. Anyone using Adaptec 2100s on FreeBSD please share some informations on how do you manage the array. TIA!

Questions about FreeBSD Versions
Hello FreeBSD, My name is Harry Leonard and I'm very interested in using FreeBSD. I work in a small shop, outside of Flagstaff, Arizona for the State of Arizona, in a half Microsoft, half open source environment. I'm the resident programmer and I've used Perl/PHP/MySQL here for almost four years. My boss has set up servers running OpenBSD and I get to use them creating our website and running intranet applications. My problem now is that my boss is in Iraq and we're in need of a new server or two. I've researched the subject and have found myself getting a little squeamish with the thought of installing/tweaking an OpenBSD box. FreeBSD seemed like the next viable option and I did get a thumbs up from my boss. I also saw a segment on TechTv's Screen Savers which gave me the confidence that I could pull this off. I started looking at versions and decided to purchase the latest and greatest. I bought the four disk set of FreeBSD 5.0 w/ the handbook and thought I was on a roll. Surely, I installed it several times before I got it right and then I began to run into problems and loose some confidence. My problems started with the installation of Apache. I'm going back after it today though and I hope that I'll have some success. Yes, I am a newbie but a driven one. I very much want to have two FreeBSD boxes in-house and I am a hard one to quit. I did quit on FreeBSD 5.0 though and I also think this is where my troubles really began. I figured that I would do some more reading and found that 5.0 might not be the best version for newbie's (in cases of trouble). So, I figured that I would go to FreeBSD 5.1. A newer version shouldn't hurt huh? Well, I think something went awry in the download and I never got this version to work correctly for me either. Well, now I'm figuring that I'll just move backwards to FreeBSD 4.8 Stable and this will just alleviate all my problems. This has not worked yet for me either and my confidence is further eroding. But, my tenacity is still in there and I'd rather go down in flames than let my office mate turn this office into a full Microsoft shop and me running Apache/PHP/MySQL on an IIS box. My boss expressed his dismay of this happening and I told him I would not let him down. Newbie I may be but I'm not a quitter. This email is about: Which version of FreeBSD should I be using for production? I need to set up an in-house web server for our website and another box for my few intranet applications. In the near future I might have the opportunity to create a firewall box and I really need to get on top of things.

Re: Questions about FreeBSD Versions
Quoting Leonard, Harry [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello FreeBSD, My name is Harry Leonard and I'm very interested in using FreeBSD. I work in a small shop, outside of Flagstaff, Arizona for the State of Arizona, in a half Microsoft, half open source environment. I'm the resident programmer and I've used Perl/PHP/MySQL here for almost four years. My boss has set up servers running OpenBSD and I get to use them creating our website and running intranet applications. My problem now is that my boss is in Iraq and we're in need of a new server or two. I've researched the subject and have found myself getting a little squeamish with the thought of installing/tweaking an OpenBSD box. FreeBSD seemed like the next viable option and I did get a thumbs up from my boss. I also saw a segment on TechTv's Screen Savers which gave me the confidence that I could pull this off. I started looking at versions and decided to purchase the latest and greatest. I bought the four disk set of FreeBSD 5.0 w/ the handbook and thought I was on a roll. Surely, I installed it several times before I got it right and then I began to run into problems and loose some confidence. My problems started with the installation of Apache. I'm going back after it today though and I hope that I'll have some success. Yes, I am a newbie but a driven one. I very much want to have two FreeBSD boxes in-house and I am a hard one to quit. I did quit on FreeBSD 5.0 though and I also think this is where my troubles really began. I figured that I would do some more reading and found that 5.0 might not be the best version for newbie's (in cases of trouble). So, I figured that I would go to FreeBSD 5.1. A newer version shouldn't hurt huh? Well, I think something went awry in the download and I never got this version to work correctly for me either. Well, now I'm figuring that I'll just move backwards to FreeBSD 4.8 Stable and this will just alleviate all my problems. This has not worked yet for me either and my confidence is further eroding. But, my tenacity is still in there and I'd rather go down in flames than let my office mate turn this office into a full Microsoft shop and me running Apache/PHP/MySQL on an IIS box. My boss expressed his dismay of this happening and I told him I would not let him down. Newbie I may be but I'm not a quitter.

I run FreeBSD 5.x-CURRENT on all of my machines without a problem (with apache, mysql, php, etc...) but I still don't recommend that people do that. What kind of problems are you having? I doubt that your problems are FreeBSD specific... they are probably more specific to the server apps you are running (apache, etc...).

www/mod_jk2 port problem with www/apache2 port
FreeBSD-RELEASE-4.8-p3 I've run into a problem with the ports versions of mod_jk2 and apache2. Now apache2 is built without thread support disabled, but mod_jk2 is built to use pthreads. Both run through make and make install cleanly without any problems. But when I try to start up Apache, I get the obvious error: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so: Undefined symbol pthread_mutex_unlock The official mod_jk2 docs says nothing about building the module without thread support. The apache2 docs confirm that: * If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default, as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use ./configure --enable-threads. So is it even possible to compile mod_jk2 without threads? Or should I just bite the bullet and build apache2 with threads enabled on the box? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

COM3 COM4 Modem
Hy folks ! I have FreeBSD 5.0 installed on my computer and I wanted to know how can I enable the COM3 COM4 ports. The ports are disabled by default in 5.0. I tried to modify /boot/device.hints but with no hope . I commented hint.sio.2.disabled=1 and hint.sio.3.disabled=1 out but when I rebooted it said smt like irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 ;port may not be enabled; the same goes for sio3(but with 9 instead of 5) .I'm just starting so ... don't know what to do anymore. I already read the handbook and the sio(4) manual page but I haven't found something helpfull yet. I'm asking all this because I have an Aztech UM9800 external modem which's on COM3(at least that's what Windows shows )and I cannot change its COM port to 1 or 2 . It is recognized as ugen0 when the system boots. It is an usb modem but I was told by people on this list that I can use it with FreeBSD. If I can then I would appreciate any help from you on how to set it up. Thanks people ! - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Please let me know what you think? Definitely your first choice should be 4.8-RELEASE on a production system. The only exceptions are when you need to support hardware only covered by 5.x or you need some software capabilities, like nss_ldap/pam_ldap only available on 5.x. Production in general means that it's the server that carries your publically visible web presence and not having it running 24x7 is going to cost you money or prestige. having said that, a version from the RELENG_4 branch (ie. at the moment FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE) will be right up in the same ballpark as regards stability and reliability as one of the -RELEASE versions -- it's just that RELENG_4, being a development branch, doesn't absolutely guarrantee that, and it's a moving target: changes and updates are made to RELENG_4 every day, and if you're trying to run a site really professionally, you're going to give yourself a much higher burden of testing by tracking RELENG_4. Now, generally the only other option would be 5-CURRENT (which is the HEAD branch in cvs). That's definitely developers only territory, not guarranteed to work correctly or even boot up at any particular point in time. Certainly not suitable for running a webserver on. However, due to the particular circumstances at the moment, the gap in functionality between 4.x and 5.x is particularly big, and the 4.x branch has had a much longer life than initially expected (compare to the 3.x branch which only reached 3.5-RELEASE), so it was felt that there should be some early releases from the 5.x branch to promote testing on a wider range of equipment. 5.1 is still a New Technology release, but many people are running it quite happily on their desktops -- particularly portables for which it has much improved support. Even so, it's not advised to run it on a server system, especially if you are adverse to being paged at 3.00am to come and sort out what broke. See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/early-adopter.html for an article discussing who might consider running what version. As for your problems with the installer, this mailing list can certainly help you out. Try searching the list archives for someone else who has had similar problems -- either at lists.freebsd.org for stuff in about the last three or four months or at http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists or there's a new site with a particularly good (IMHO) search interface at http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ Then there's Google (of course), and the http://www.freebsdforums.org/ message board system.

Please be more descriptive. My opinion: Newbies looking for a production box should install FreeBSD 4.8 and upgrade to 4-STABLE via cvsup before installing a bunch of apps. General steps follow: 0. Searchable documentation can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Use it to learn more about steps = 2: 1. Find out what version of Apache you're running on OpenBSD (1.* or 2.*). You'll need to know this if you want to install the same version on FreeBSD. 2. Install FreeBSD 4.8. Don't install many apps yet. 3. Read documentation on updating/upgrading the system via cvsup, make world and recompiling the kernel. 4. Install the apps you need to make adminstering the system more bearable (midnight commander, your favorite editor, etc). Try to install other apps after updating the system. 5. Install cvsupit. Use cvsup to update the system to STABLE. 6. Update the system using make world and mergemaster. 7. Recompile the kernel. If you don't have to make any configuration changes, this should be a real breeze. 8. Install apache from ports. There are several versions. Choose the one that meets your needs. (The same version you're using on OpenBSD would probably be a good choice.) 9. Install MySQL from the ports. 10. Install PHP from the ports. There are ports for PHP under /usr/ports/lang and for
Followup Q to IBM 120 G IDE -- problems
Hi, Well, I've got my 120G disk up and running and now I'd like to understand something odd. I went into /stand/sysinstall to put down the partition and slice tables and the FS and found that it determined the geometry (cyl/head/sectors) as 15107/255/63 . Since it warned that the values must match the BIOS values, I set them to the 59131/16/255 that the BIOS reports. It rejected this entry and went back to its own. I also tried the values reported by the ata driver on startup; these too were rejected. Since it's working (with about 117G -- that's Gi_b_abytes) it must be OK (famous last words!) but what's going on here? Why does it demand the values reported by the BIOS if it will refuse them, and why does the driver come up with another set of values, also unacceptible to the disklabel/fdisk machinery?

Since FreeBSD-4.7 was released, various updates to cvsup have also come out, and the version of the source code available on the servers is cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz nowadays. Of course, the simple way to fix that problem is to update your ports tree... The best way to break this impasse is to install cvsup-without-gui as a precompiled *package*. Now, the 4.7-RELEASE packages are no longer on the ftp sites, having been replaced by packages built for later releases. Unless you've got disks 3 and 4 from the 4.7-RELEASE set which will certainly have that package on it, you're going to have to use a package built for a more recent version of the OS. That's not guaranteed to work, but often does when the OS versions are fairly close together. The cvsup-without-gui package is actually the sort of package that does tend to work when installed in that way. Try this: # pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/cvsup-without-gui.tgz That should let you get your ports tree updated.

Re: Followup Q to IBM 120 G IDE -- problems
Hi, Well, I've got my 120G disk up and running and now I'd like to understand something odd. I went into /stand/sysinstall to put down the partition and slice tables and the FS and found that it determined the geometry (cyl/head/sectors) as 15107/255/63 . Since it warned that the values must match the BIOS values, I set them to the 59131/16/255 that the BIOS reports. It rejected this entry and went back to its own. I also tried the values reported by the ata driver on startup; these too were rejected. Since it's working (with about 117G -- that's Gi_b_abytes) it must be OK (famous last words!) but what's going on here? Why does it demand the values reported by the BIOS if it will refuse them, and why does the driver come up with another set of values, also unacceptible to the disklabel/fdisk machinery? Someone else can answer with more detailed information, but in general, geometry is virtual in modern large disks and drivers. They don't map one to one. Probably messages saying they must match are vestigial. jerry Mark Terribile ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: JAVA and MOZILLA
Hi,
I to am using Mozilla 1.4 ( I beleive I failed to mention that in my original
post ) and I compiled it out of ports. I had heard that Java 1.3.1 worked
well with Mozilla, so I wne to try to install it. However when I try I get
the following.
dl# cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13
dl# ls

=== Building for jdk-1.3.1p8_2

ERROR: Your BOOTDIR environment variable does not point

A Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 build must be bootstrapped against any

just unset it, and start your build again.
You need some working linux-java (I think you can use blackdown
and sun but I can't remember which version) to build the FreeBSD
java-port . You could search your Makefile for this.
Uli.
I tried separately linux-sun-jdk13 and linux-blackdown-jdk13, neither
helped me to get past that danged ALT_BOOTDIR error message. Any way I
can set the ALT_BOOTDIR or find out how to remove it?!
Funny thing is that I was able to install jdk13 natively with no
problems a month ago, then on another computer, this error keeps popping
up. Same hardwares, same configuration. I remember in the past few
years, sometimes it installed with no problems, sometimes the error
keeps popping up. I have no idea what I did or what changed. G!
Jonas
Exiting because of the above error(s).
gmake: *** [sanity] Error 1
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk13.
dl#
the make file in jdk13 has the following (I dont know if it of any relevence)
MAKE_ENV= ALT_BOOTDIR=${JDK13DIR} \
Did you have any of these issues when compiling jdk13?
If you did, can you please let me know how you got around it.
Thanks

So not sure if that fixed it or not. I am however fully completed with all the upgrades after 5 painful hours, so that's at least good. That means I shouldn't have to touch this for a while longer at which this problem may crop up its ugly head. I'll keep an eye on it and report anything new I find. I don't expect this to be easy to solve. But we'll keep looking for clues. Speaking of clues, is there a way to log everything that goes on in a TTY session? I've noticed that when this thing crashes it prints something to the screen (I can't see it cause I'm away at another desk when it does it) about the crash and a reboot in 15 seconds but I'm never fast enough over there to catch it. I want to try and catch that in a file if possible so I better know what's wrong with this thing. I'm sure it has something to do with adding a switch to the logging system, but I can't find where to add the switch and which one would do it. Any input would be welcome.
