Re: Mixer
K, kewlerz thanks Kris haven't had anything to do with sound before. Did that. Everything except Mixer mic is currently set to 75:75. Mixer mic is set to 0:0. Is that good ? I think my main prob is still that my output shows two video cards and no audio card. Any thoughts on this ?

Re:Re: Cat a directory
Matthew Seaman wrote (22.9.2003 19:01): Have you tried typing 'ls -G' using the system ls(1) recently? Yes, I have and I even have it aliased in my .bashrc file like this alias ls='ls -F -G' so that ls will always use colors and type endings. But my point was that native BSD system ls only colors these types, outclip from man pages: 1. directory 2. symbolic link 3. socket 4. pipe 5. executable 6. block special 7. character special 8. executable with setuid bit set 9. executable with setgid bit set 10. directory writable to others, with sticky bit 11. directory writable to others, without sticky bit which are all supported in for example GNU/Linux ls, except 10 and 11, but then they have an extra option to put different coloring on files with a special ending. So that archives, moviefiles, soundfiles etc. have a special color while in BSD they're all grey/white. I know that this might seem like irritating for some and unnecessary for others but shouldn't people be given the possibility to choose for themselves and not by the big people if they want to use colors on special file endings. And I'm in no way saying that it has to come on at the same time as the normal coloring. But wouldn't it be time for people to try to expand their minds on how to make BSD a little more friendly to others then unixpros and hackers. a good start. And while we're on the subject of different file types why doesn't ls support coloring of different file types like in Linux. As it would make finding certain files easier by coloring them differently depending on their ending. Doesn't it?How many file types do you want to make different colors? Anyway, that seems to depend on shell. I can get color differences. Well it might be dependent on the shell as I'm not sure about it, but as I already wrote above I think it should be up to the user to decide how many different filetype colors should be used and not to some BSD developer to say NO, won't happen! cause he doesn't like the idea. He should say Hey, that might be a good idea, why not try to see if it's possible to do. or Sure, why not, the public should get what they want.. This is exactly why open-source was started so that the people would have the power to decide what they want and not some money obsessed Gates. But it seems that development on FreeBSD has taken a turn towards dictator reign or maybe always been that way. Other *NIX systems seem to have done this to their cat program so why can't FreeBSD? See above. FreeBSD has a better view of the world than some of the kiddie OSes. Yes, you're absolutly right that FreeBSD has a better view of the world then other OSes. But what says that there couldn't be a flag that either allowes or doesn't allow cat to read directories and maybe other files. As somebody said cat only has a few flags so far. This way cat would be able to fill both experts and newbies wishes and needs. Then FreeBSD would really have a better view on the world than GNU/Linux as it can't cat directories at all but FreeBSD users would be able to decide if they want it to be possible or not by simply using a flag. Just because another OS takes the wrong road doesn't mean that FreeBSD should also get lost. No, I agree but wouldn't it be better if a few small things like what this topic has been about could be solved rationaly. Just so that FreeBSD wouldn't get on the wrong road but still satisfy both experts and newbies. I think my suggestion about a flag to cat would be a solution and that file-ending coloring in ls wouldn't lead FreeBSD straight in to the woods, as it would be possible to turn on/off these features on demand. Modifying cat so it couldn't do this would not be an improvement. Yes, it would if it was possible to turn it on with a flag. cat /bin on Solaris 9 does exactly the same thing as on FreeBSD; shows the contents of the directory, just like you're asking it to. Just because you can't fathom a use for this behavior doesn't mean it's wrong. If you don't want to see it, don't ask cat to show it to you. OK, as I said that I was only 90% sure that it wouldn't do that. But the thing is that I don't have a problem with using cat, but the people I help do. The thing is that most books on *NIX systems start out with simple commands like ls and cat. Most of the people I help think it's the only way to read files and by mistake specify a directory insted of a file or just for fun test it out on a directory. Then their problem becomes my problem as their terminal locks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ports on a CD
Sounds like a business opportunity. Make and sell CD sets with the 'missing' ports. Every couple of months, a new snapshot of the entire ports tree with all of the legally-CD-able distfiles; for people who don't have the (cheap) bandwidth to stay up to date with cvsup... I believe that is what Tadimeti originally meant. If you get the seven Debian CDs, you can install and use a wide variety of different software, even if you have no or a slow/expensive connection to the 'net. With FreeBSD you get some packages, but if you want or need more than the minimum software, you depend on an online connection. If the same person also has a slow machine, then FreeBSD is not really suited for them. This has actually been one of my problems. I'm stuck in an area where the fastest connection speed is ISDN, and I pay for that by the minute (an average of fifty cents an hour, for one channel). Setting up a workstation with a decent selection of software, was more costly for me than if I had done the same with Debian. To me, this was a perfectly acceptable investment, but I can see why it would turn people off who haven't yet decided to go with FreeBSD and instead shop for an OS (it makes little difference if you purchase two or seven CDs if you get them for one or two dollars a piece).

If you haven't changed anything here, it would be interesting to know in more detail just what you did. To judge by the surprising number of partitions, you didn't take the defaults. I just created seperate partitions for / /tmp /var /usr etc. The c partition was created by FreeBSD on its own. Could this be a BIOS problem, my system BIOS predates that size of disks by far? Barely possible. The system is an older Digital PC (3500) PII 333 Mhz. The disk is a 40 GB IDE drive (WD) BTW, I'm looking for a safe way to 'grow' my rootfs, I've looked arround before, but I'm still not clear on the right procedure for it. Take a look at growfs(8). To do it right, you need space directly behind the root file system. Even Vinum won't help here. You could move the swap space elsewhere, for example. I'm looking at that option, lucky that I have a second disk with rsynced mirrors of all partitions on the first one. I can just remove /home and /data and copy them back later. Well, yes, or you can completely reinstall. I was looking at a less intrusive way of doing it. Perhaps I can add the swap space to / and create a new swap further back on the disk. It's not a good idea to add swap space to a file system. It's better to have your own partition. Probably what you have is more than adequate, though. I wasn't planning to put the swap on the fs, I would create a swap partition further back on the disk, then delete the existing one and extend the root fs to include the that space. I'm only not sure if this would cause the slice letters to move (/ is slice a, swap is b - it I remove it, will it cascade the others down?) You can clear the error by running disklabel -e /dev/ad0s1a in single user mode, and changing the length and offset of partition c (offset 0, add 63 to the size). I wanted to try this on the mirror disk first, it also shows the offset at 63 using disklabel -r Yet doing disklabel -e on it shows the offset at 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 32768004.2BSD 2048 16384 20488 # (Cyl.0 - 325*) b: 1007984 327680 swap# (Cyl. 325*- 1325*) c: 804181770unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 79779*) d: 1007616 13356644.2BSD 2048 16384 62984 # (Cyl. 1325*- 2324*) e: 1024000 23432804.2BSD 2048 16384 64008 # (Cyl. 2324*- 3340*) f: 18120704 33672804.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 3340*- 21317*) g: 20971520 214879844.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 21317*- 42122*) h: 37958673 424595044.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 42122*- 79779*) It looks as if you have two different partition tables.

Emulating gmake functionality in make
Hello list, gnu's make (a.k.a gmake) has a nifty piece of functionality that, while it may be possible to perform with make, for the life of me I can't figure out the syntax. Let's say you have a list of files a b c d that get transformed by program foo into a.x b.x c.x and d.x Further, let us suppose that you have another list of files e f g that get tranformed by bar into e.x f.x and g.x Note how the resulting files all have a .x extension, yet are produced with two different programs. In gnu parlance, one would write something like FOO = a.x b.x c.x d.x BAR = e.x f.x g.x $(FOO): %.x: % foo $ $(BAR): %.x: % bar $ Which roughly translates to for the files in the FOO list, you get to something.x from something, by running 'foo something' (since foo produces something.x as a result). And the resulting Makefile is very compact. Can this be done with make (without repeating things in more than one place in the Makefile)? I'm quite happy with the gmake way of doing things, except of course I keep running 'make' instead of 'gmake' and it complains out the syntax. If I could just teach make how to do this it would be more comfortable.

How can I install the python snack module?
I'm trying to poart a small python application to FreeBSD from linux (routeplanner if you are curious). It requires a number of python modules, including snack I located the tarball for the module, but when I run configure for it I get: $ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for Tcl configuration... configure: warning: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions Can some kind soul tell me how I can fix this? A brief primer on the general python module installation mthodology would be useful as well. I'm mainly a perl type, so python is a new fronteir for me.

Something I should know about 'make buildkernel ...', but I don't.
Hi All.
Something's been bugging me about 'make buildkernel ...' (or pro'lly more
precisely, the docs): How do I re-make the kernel without first cleaning
/usr/obj/...?
After applying patches, I bump $BRANCH in /sys/conf/newvers.sh, and would
like the running kernel to reflect the current patchlevel, but not at the
expense of a complete rebuild. Something this trivial shouldn't get me in
any trouble, kernel-wise, should it?
Browsing Makefile.inc1, I see these defines:
-DNOCLEANDIR run ${MAKE} clean, instead of ${MAKE} cleandir
-DNOCLEAN do not clean at all
What does 'cleandir' do that 'clean' doesn't? Remove directory trees?
Anyway, is it as simple as:
make buildkernel -DNOCLEAN KERNCONF=...
Like I said, I should already know this.
Dave

Re: Information needed
To whom it may concern, What files and folders do I need to download from http://www.freebsd.org in order to have the latest and most complete version of BSD? It looks like you had better start with the documentation or you will be lost. It is all clearly detailed in the handbook and actually in several other places online. In general you only need to download the mini-ISO image and burn it directly to a CD. The rest can all be done from that, although if you have a slow net connection it can take a few hours. Since I have a good connection, it generall takes about an hour to do a whole installation including installing the entire ports tree or sometimes called the ports skeleton (but of course, not all of the ports source - the source is only downloaded when you actually install a particular port). Good luck and read, search and study a while before you do anything with actual files, CDs or disks. jerry Respectfully, Vincent M.

kern.openfiles doesn't agree with fstat
Hi folks,
I've got an ipfilter-enabled RELENG_4 firewall that acts as a DHCP and
SMB server for our office LAN.
It's running into its upper limit of files, as reported by
kern.openfiles. However, when I try to use fstat to report on processes
that hold open file handles, the numbers disagree:
kern.maxfiles: 9992
kern.maxfilesperproc: 4496
kern.openfiles: 8265
# fstat | awk '$5 ~ /^\// {print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
99 httpd
63 mysqld
50 smbd
48 getty
45 screen
37 sshd
35 bash
30 nfsd
27 sh
24 nfsiod
...
The total number of filehandles reported in this way is about 600.
Why would these two tools disagree in this way?
Ciao,
Sheldon.

Re: Users mySQL User
Holgar, No. MySQL supports users through the database manager itself. Once MySQL is running on the system you can add users to the user table found in the mysql database. Remember to 'flush privileges' once this is done to make the changes apply. It would also be a really good idea to think/learn about this process before implementing a production level system using this setup. eg: -- Checking out the MySQL documentation at http://www.mysql.com/, a sample of this: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/General_security.html -- Planning 'how' your databases will work as far as access privileges.

So long as you aren't changing the kernel configuration, then you can
probably use the 'old' build mechanism:
[SNIP]
However, this is only worth doing if you're going to be recompiling
the kernel a number of times, as the first time through it will
compile everything.
Right! Most SAs these days don't effect the kernel. I usually leave
/usr/obj populated from the last build.
Note that this won't put the object files
etc. under /usr/obj...
Yeah, that's why I didn't want to do the old thang. I don't know
that it'd even work right.
But you seem to agree that something this trivial shouldn't yield a
broken kernel if /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/... is unchanged from the previous
build, right?

Bonobo issues in ports

Re: USB storage dongles and umass driver
Hi Tom As far as I know, if the device is USB mass storage, it is generic. That protocol is just SCSI over USB, so should be as generic as SCSI once was. On Linux, all USB-mass storage devices (including digicams) are supported using only one driver, I guess it should be the same on FreeBSD. If you plug it in, try cdrecord -scanbus to see if it is connected. Good luck Guy On Mon, 2003-09-22 at 02:13, Tom Parquette wrote: Hi.

The question I have is, are these devices generic enough that other manufacturer's devices will work with the umass driver?

Changed Hard disk controller
Hi I'm looking for some help regarding my 5.1 installation I have been playing with FreeBSD for some years now, with long pauses, and always come back to it, again and a again, following it's evolution the best I can, and also just to having fun with it and learn something new in the presses. I'm far from being a expert, and am lost half the time but still have fun with it. I finally decided that it was time to replace my old novel 3.12 with a 5.1 FreeBSD The machine I'm using is an old mmx 233 with onboard ide and 65mb memory I had a 30gb Maxtor and a cd on it for the initial installation. Install went well, no problems. After moving the files form my very old novel server, over to the FreeBSD server, I decided I needed to add a 80gb disk. After installing the disk, the motherboard controller would not recognize the new disk. I next added a pci ida/ata controller from Maxtor, and disabled the onboard ida controller. With the old 30gb as master and the new 80gb as slave, and the CDROM as a master, I started the machine. The kernel found the new controller, but when init takes over, thinks started to fall apart fast. It seems that init is unable to deal with the controller change. After manually mounting the devices, I can get to the machine as single user with no write rights, I need to find out if, and how, I can chance the fstab's, and if there are any other config's that I have to worry about, in general, what do I, or can I do or, Do I have to reinstall allover again? I still have the novel machine running on the network so all is not lost yet. Hope you have some ideas for my!! 0 0 \__/ Regards Yngvi Gretarsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Upgrading to 4.9 CVS vs. binary?
It seems that 4.9 is rapidly on its way to becoming RELEASE, which is a good thing. I'm currently running 4.8-p3 on my production server, and I don't have a spare to build then move over, so it will be an in place upgrade. Which upgrade path would be the best? CVS or installing from a binary ISO CD? If CVS, I'm assuming I need to add *default tag=RELENG_4_9 when it's released to my cvsup file to grab it, or do I need to start tracking stable RELENG_4? My hunch is CVS will be the better way to do it, and the last time I tried upgrading the system with a binary, it exploded (learned then don't do a binary upgrade when it's running the kernel and multiuser, thank god for backups).

For example: - xmms will be playing fine for an hour and then stop with the generic error about the soundcard being unavailable - I'll pause mplayer and unpause it only to have it crash due to the soundcard being unavailable - snes9x will stop playing the sound after a short amount of playtime Most of the time, I see an error along the lines of an illegal error. With mplayer and xmms, usually a couple of tries and the sound will work again. fstat | grep dsp will never output anything when the sound isn't working so I don't think anything else is blocking the soundcard plus I have 4 virtual channels set up so that shouldn't be possible anyway. The problem is hard to cause or predict so I can't really provide more specific situations, but I'm hoping that this has happened to someone else before. I think this has something to do with malloc(9) returning NULL. (with M_NOWAIT flag) Therefore dsp operations which requires memory allocation or realloc will fail if there is not enough memory free to immediately fullfill the alloc requests. The driver will then return ENOMEM. I've seen debug messages here indicating a return value of 12 (ENOMEM) from, I think it was some feeder init functions, but can't recall and couldn't find it in the logs anymore, sorry. Is there a diagnostic path I can take to try to find out more or should I just plug in my SoundBlaster? Also is this I should approach the driver developer about?

Should you persevere with BSD, you will find that windows is purely a display manager not a true computer - FreeBSD is both. The term computer refers to the hardware only.

I downloaded Freebsd version 5.0 release and unpacked it in great anticipation. I made a bootable CD (the best I could, It's not as easy as making a bootable windows CD) put the cd in my rom and found that BSD is not for me. Look, Im not trying to put BSD down or anything, I would love to have it on my computer fully working so that I could use something other than Windows! Im by no means bored with Windows, I find new and exciting things out with it all the time.I feel that im pretty literate when it comes to computers, which brings me to this: You people have to make a product that is just slightly more user friendly. Cant you think of a way to auto-mount your os like windows? Do you mean like mounting the partitions on you harddisk by default or you floppies? The first can be done with the current system. If you did the installation correctly then this would happen after the reboot. Setting up your os is like trying to work your way through a jigsaw puzzle. (Windows even partitions your drive for you) If someone expects to challenge the makers of Windows they are going to have to come up with a user friendly system like Windows where you have an easy command format instead of what your trying to do. The installation I use does this also. So I don't know with what your having problems. I mean come on, first you have to figure out what to partition the drive in because you dont explain any of this. It is alle explained in the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ , then you have to mount everything, which is beyond the average users comprehension, then you have to figure out commands to pass along to the kernel..etc...etc...etc. You problebly can by pass this. I never pass command to the kernel when i install FreeBSD or even after the first session with it. With Windows all you do is stick in the disk and it's all pretty straight forward from there on out. Please, if you could just tell me of one of your systems thats a little more user friendly I would love to use it, and tell all my friends about it too so that they can spread the word about the new operating system thats fun and easy to use. If your new to FreeBSD then you proberbly sould go with the 4 brange instead of 5.0. The 5 brange isn't considerd stable and that goes dubble for 5.0. Read the handbook on how to install before trying it. Also keep a copy of the installation chapter by your site when you do install it.

vinum crashed disk error
Hello, Three IDE drives multiplexed together to make one large partition (for mounting as /usr/local). We were messing with hardware in the box and when we rebooted vinum spat out errors about defective objects and the boot came to a halt. We figured we had left something loose or unplugged on the motherboard, so we shut it down and took a look. Sure enough, the plug in the mobo's secondary IDE channel was loose, so we reseated it and powered the machine up again. We saw that the kernel found all the IDE drives and figured the problem was over. But vinum had the same problem. It said (loose quotation): /dev/ mounted read-only. vinum config not being rebuilt. And then spit out the same errors it had the first time. Unfortunately, the vinum.org domain is having problems of some sort, and the vinum help pages on lemis.com are redirected to the vinum.org site, so I am deprived of a great trouble-shooting resource. System is 4.8-STABLE. Below you will see the output of 'vinum start'. Any suggestions as to fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated, as we do make production use of this box.

What about the second option? options CPU_SUSP_HLT CPU_SUSP_HLT enables suspend on HALT. If this option is set, CPU enters suspend mode following execution of HALT instruction. options CPU_IORT=7 CPU_IORT defines I/O clock delay time.

redirecting sound
I'd like to be able to use various sound sources at the same time. So I did what Handbook recommends. Now, it says, all I need is to make each source use one particular (not occupied) virtual chanel, for instace /dev/dsp0.n What exactly does this mean? Is there some kind of a common for every application order of actions to accomplish this? Is it possible to set some kind of a daemon to make all the required actions for me when it come to producing sound?

Re: Upgrading to 4.9 CVS vs. binary?
On Tue, Sep 23, 2003 at 10:26:54AM -0700, Scott Schappell wrote:
It seems that 4.9 is rapidly on its way to becoming RELEASE, which is a good
thing. I'm currently running 4.8-p3 on my production server, and I don't

Which upgrade path would be the best? CVS or installing from a binary ISO
CD?
If CVS, I'm assuming I need to add *default tag=RELENG_4_9 when it's
released to my cvsup file to grab it, or do I need to start tracking
stable RELENG_4?
My hunch is CVS will be the better way to do it, and the last time I tried
upgrading the system with a binary, it exploded (learned then don't do a
binary upgrade when it's running the kernel and multiuser, thank god for
backups).
What is the recommendation of folks on this list?
To go from RELENG_4_8 to RELENG_4_9, probably the simplest and least
hassleful method is to cvsup the RELENG_4_9 sources, and then do a
normal {build,install}{world,kernel} job. There's not much point in
your tracking RELENG_4, unless you want to practice at upgrading.
This *should* be a pretty painless upgrade but hearing the words
upgrade production server always makes me nervous. If this server
is earning you or your company money and having it go down for any
length of time is very bad karma, and as you say, you don't have any
spare hardware to play with then:
a) make sure you have good backups
b) follow the instructions in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
carefully -- especially the parts about rebooting into single
user mode to test your new kernel -- for a remote machine that
means you will need remote console access
and
c) consider sticking with RELENG_4_8 -- unless there's added
support for some necessary bit of hardware or some enhanced
system behaviour that you need or some other really good reason
to upgrade, *leaving the server be* will certainly enhance it's
stability. 4.8-RELEASE will be officially supported for at least
another 4 months, and will probably receive critical security
fixes for much longer than that.

PCI bridges interrupts
I'm having a strange problem with interrupts, PCI bridges, and
FreeBSD 4-STABLE (cvsupped from a few months ago).
The motherboard is a Supermicro X5DL8-GG, dual-Xeon capable (only one is
populated). The BIOS is AMIBIOS 7.00.00. The BIOS settings have PnP OS
set to NO, ACPI OS is YES ('cause FreeBSD-CURRENT was once installed),
and power management is all disabled.
The company I'm working for has a rather complex PCI board that is
much larger than a normal card, and has its own power. The board can
be plugged directly into a slot in the motherboard, but for physical
and electrical (PCI 66) reasons wants to be attached via a bridge
riser card that we have also developed.
Everything on the board works when directly connected to the host,
except that we can't go 66MHz and we can't close the case. With
the riser card, *almost* everything works, except for interrupts.
I can see the interrupt line low *on the card edge connector on
the motherboard*, but it's not acknowledged, and our driver's ISR
doesn't run. We've throttled the riser card to 33MHz to eliminate
that possibility.
What follows is the verbose dmesg from the boot up without the
riser (bridge), followed by diffs when booted with the riser.
I'm looking for clues. It's about that far from working right,
and this almost looks like a FreeBSD issue.
Buddy, can you spare a clue? Why isn't the ISR running?

Re: SCO Group
I agree with your general point that SCO hasn't given us any reason to suppose they'd treat the BSDs - or more specifically, BSD users - differently than in the case of Linux. However, if you don't work for a fairly large company and don't have untold personal wealth, there seems little reason to suppose SCO would waste time pursuing you or your employer. I fully agree with this. Besides, it's already been proven that this whole thing is an pump and dump money grab by the company that owns SCO. They're doing the lawsuits in order to pump their stocks, then once they sell off everything they'll in turn disenfranchise themselves from SCO, put as much distance as they can between them, and let IBM chop up and burn SCO for kindling. They were kinda hoping that IBM would just buy up SCO at a sizeable profit to the owners of SCO in order to silence this suit. That didn't happen and after IBM basically said they'd run SCO into the ground, the original planners of this whole scheme are now trying to grab whatever cash they can and run. If you don't believe me, read up on Wired and several other tech news sites, CNN, and others. Half the execs at SCO have sold off all their stocks already and the President of the company is getting close. They're doing it a bit at a time so as not to draw too much attention from the SEC. The proof is out there and in massive quantities if you want to find it. Besides, if SCO really wanted to fry IBM for any kind of infringement they would have gone to court months ago, not postponed the court date for middle of 2005. The idea behind that is that the company that owns SCO (a group of lawyers also famous for suing Microsoft on another money grab and winning big) hopes to either have sold the company to IBM or someone else for a considerable profit or have sold their stocks, made their cash and be long gone by then. Of course MS and Sun are loving this up and helping out SCO a lot since they see Linux as their worst competitor. In their eyes the sooner linux dies the happier they'll be. Oh well, too late now cause Linux (and the BSD's) are here to stay. :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: WD drivers: Gone completely in 5.x?

Mike, I don't want to get into a flame war here, as I've already been through this when the ATA drivers were first released: no matter what hardware I've used them with, I've had issues. The oldest I can understand, but I gave it another go two weeks ago with modern, brand new hardware (a new SiS based Asus that was on the HCL when I bought it, and a Maxtor 40g IDE) and had the same results. The 4.8 was rebuilt last night with WD drivers, and the 5.1 was *supposed* to be rebuilt tonight, thus my email. The ATA drivers are buggy has hell, regardless of all the screaming I've heard to the contrary: timeouts, with or without DMA disabled, hard write errors, etc. I just can't do it - especially since I am constantly told the drivers are good, and my hardware is bad: if I take the setup that dies under ATA and load either WD or *any other OS*, they work flawlessly. I am a FBSD shop, have been since 2.2.5R, but I cannot use the ATA drivers - I need something reliable (speed is irrelevant if it doesn't work). Hrmmm I wasn't meaning to rant on you.

Re: WD drivers: Gone completely in 5.x?
Sounds like you are out of luck. Perhaps the other OSes that work for you is the way to go. ---Mike At 08:00 PM 23/09/2003, J.A.

Re: Upgrading to 4.9 CVS vs. binary?
On Tue, Sep 23, 2003 at 10:26:54AM -0700, Scott Schappell wrote: It seems that 4.9 is rapidly on its way to becoming RELEASE, which is a good thing. I'm currently running 4.8-p3 on my production server, and I don't have a spare to build then move over, so it will be an in place upgrade. Do you have a FreeBSD workstation of some sort? If so set up the system so it shared the /usr/src and /usr/obj with the production machine and try a upgrade of that one before doing it with you production server. This will give you more reason to assume that the upgrade will not fail on the production server. Which upgrade path would be the best? CVS or installing from a binary ISO CD? The CVS option has the advante that you gain the lasted fixes to thing. If something broke on the ISO changes are that its fixed in the CVS. If CVS, I'm assuming I need to add *default tag=RELENG_4_9 when it's released to my cvsup file to grab it, or do I need to start tracking stable RELENG_4? Its far better to go with RELENG_4_9. RELENG_4 is less stable because the new stuf get tried out here first. The posiblity exist that it doesn't work. My hunch is CVS will be the better way to do it, and the last time I tried upgrading the system with a binary, it exploded (learned then don't do a binary upgrade when it's running the kernel and multiuser, thank god for backups). What is the recommendation of folks on this list? You may want to wait two week to see if other are reporting problems to the stable list. Then downloaded the sources of two weeks ago and use them to upgrade you system. This limit the changes of getting burned quite a bit. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
saslauthd not working?
Hi, Trying to configure sasl with postfix.. and I keep getting Login Failed Here's what I have: telnet localhost 25: AUTH PLAIN Y2hhcm... 535 Error: authentication failed The maillog simply shows: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed /etc/rc.conf: sasl_saslauthd_enable=YES sasl_saslauthd_flags=-a getpwent /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login I'm not using pam for anything else, so I figured that this method had the best chance of working :) Postfix is NOT chrooted, and postfix is in group mail. Postfix config: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes Here's the perms on saslauthd: drwxrwx--- 2 cyrus mail 512 Sep 23 17:27 saslauthd/ Am I missing anything? I tried adding -d to saslauthd_flags in rc.conf. When I started saslauthd, it just hung there, like I expected, only, I didn't get any output when I tried to login to postfix. help would be greatly appreciated. -Charlie ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can't hear audio CDs (Asus P4P800 / Soundmax)
Vitalis [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On my box there is an Asus P4P800 motherboard with an integrated Soundmax soundcard. I can play audio files through it thanks to the snd_ich and snd_pcm drivers. But when I play audio CDs, with cdcontrol or X11 apps, no sound is heard, though the mixer settings are correct. The audio tracks are recognized correctly by all players, they actually seem to play them, but without any sound (which could be useful 8) Silly question, perhaps: Have you got the cable connecting the CD drive to the sound card? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think you may need to build the utility manually - I don't think it's installed by the freebsd port by default. There should be instructions in the port somewhere about it.

If you get output other then Success, check the auth.* syslog facility.
