Re: Which PATH is set for daemons?
Hi Warren, thanks for your answer! Your solution is what I have done as a quick and dirty solution, but I asked me why the maintainers of ghostscript port are using scripts counting on set pathes... Thomas Warren Block wrote: On Mon, 29 Sep 2003, Thomas Fiebig wrote: I have inserted a driver in /etc/printcap that uses a script installed by ghostscript. This script located in /usr/local/bin itself uses gs without an explicite path (/usr/local/bin/gs). Now starting anything to print with this driver results in an lpd error message 'gs: not found'. Stopping lpd and starting it as root from a terminal seems to work (but don't know exactly!). So my question is: For daemons started in rc.conf (like lpd) which path do they see during startup? Like with most shell scripts, you probably shouldn't count on any path beung set. Set it explicitly in your script. I'd make a copy of the Ghostscript script and edit that, or just incorporate it in the script that is calling that script. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Using hp surestore dat 24 tape drive with Free BSD 4.8
Could someone help me with this problem? I connected the hp surestore dat 24 drive with Free BSD 4.8 . It has a Ultra SCSI DC-315U drive (Tekram technology Co. Ltd). This card is not recognised by the system. Is there a driver I can use with this card? I got dc395_trm.tar.gz , untarred and unzipped it and copied dc395x_trm.c and dc395x_trm.h to /usr/src/sys/pci directory (as per the instructions at the website). I also edited /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and gave a device name tekram_trm0. When I tried to recompile the kernel, this name was not recognised. Am I following the right procedure? Can somebody advise me? Thanks Verghese George ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Why is PCE not set in CR4?
Hello all, I've been playing with my Athlon's timestamp counter for a while, and I would like to experiment with the performance-monitoring counters now. I can execute the RDTSC instruction from ring 3 because the TSD (TimeStamp Disable) bit in CR4 (Control Register 4) is cleared. However, I am not allowed to use the RDPMC instruction from ring 3 because the PCE (Performance-monitoring Counters Enable) bit is not set. Is there a reason (security? performance? other?) why FreeBSD does not set PCE at boot time? On a related subject, is there a way for a kernel module to catch a general-protection fault caused by an application trying to execute RDMSR or WRMSR, and have the kernel module execute the instruction for the application? Or is it cleaner to register two new system calls to achieve the same thing?

Do i need to switch to qmail before going for IMAP? Now you are opening up a can of worms Like the VI versus emacs war, which is better. Personal opinion, over the years, I started off with Sendmail, then moved to Postfix, and for the last couple of years, have moved to qmail. I will not move again. Sendmail has a long history of security bugs, 2 this year, I believe. It is still the #1 MTA on the net, as it has been around the longest. Postfix had a couple, qmail, none since its inception in 1996. The security guarentee is still in effect. It is modular, not monolithic, very fast, and even the smallest server, say a PII, or a P133 can handle 100-200,000 emails a day without breaking a sweat. It uses the Maildir format (so does postfix now), and will work within a NFS setup as no locking is required. There is a learning curve, but to me worth it. When I build mail servers for others, I choose qmail. BTW, I build them from source, not from the ports... The ports seem to have several patches in there which most people do not need. I just recently switched to FBSD instead of Linux for my mail / DNS servers, and now have two operating in the last 3 weeks, Very fast, smooth, and without problems. Yahoo uses qmail, and another, that has over 15 million users... For more info, www.lifewithqmail.org Regarding IMAP servers, I use Binc which is designed for qmail and its format. It is 10s of 1000s of lines less than the others, and very fast regarding sorting, etc.. Works with OE, Netscape, The Bat!, Mutt, Mulberry, all of the MUAs that support IMAP. It is extremely easy to set up, and there is now a port for it. I could go on and on for my reasons as to why I switched, but I will not bore the list any further.

Why did named start sending UDP to 127.0.0.2:53 out my external interface?
I have two FreeBSD 4.8-Stable boxen connected by a VPN (mpd) which, at just after 5 this morning and about five minutes apart, started generating ipfw logs like this: Sep 29 05:02:35 kirk /kernel: ipfw: 200 Deny UDP : 127.0.0.2:53 out via matches the UDP *:port binding of named, so I figure named is doing this (besides it being port 53). I shut down and restarted named on one box only to have it start the same behavior inside four minutes again. I then shut down the VPN link and then restarted named again (on the same box), and BOTH boxes stopped doing this. Funny thing though: The box on which I shut down named was about five minutes later than the other box at starting all this in the first place. Any ideas? I particularly don't know why named suddenly took interest in using address 127.0.0.2, besides wondering what triggered both boxes almost at once and why shutting down the connection stopped the problem in both places even though timestamps seem to point to the problem originating at the other end of the link from where I restarted named... -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!'

Alpha on FreeBSD
Hi, I've got a Digital Alpha Personal Workstation 500a a.k.a. Miata. I was able to install FreeBSD just fine however I experienced problems after a while of running FreeBSD. While booting the kernel had problems reading from the harddrive and would have to do an ata reset a couple of times. After some troubleshooting I determined that the IDE controllers on the motherboard were almost dead. So I went out and bought a PCI IDE controller. SRM did not see anything attached to the new IDE controller so I tried hooking up the cdrom to the old IDE controller and booting the freebsd 5.1 CD. This worked and everything was fine, except I can't boot from SRM. I know there are bootable floppies for install, but how can I make a bootable floopy that will just boot and not run the FreeBSD installer? --Ryan Glasnapp --- Zen Master say, Be like the B-field forever flowing and doing no work. -Brook Hmm, when the cat is dizzy it walks in r = theta Come see the chain rule inherent in the system!

Its not necessarily a link to a conversion how-to.

Spontaneous reboot of 4.9-PRERELEASE?
Hello, We have a new server that's running 4.9-prerelease and it had been rebooting about once every 2-5 days out of random... At first, I thought it was a bad hardware, but after doing some Googling, I found that some people are experiencing "spontaneous reboot issue" with 4.9-prestable? Is there like a URL that leads to official notice from FreeBSD project about this issue? And also, how do I find out if my 4.9-prerelease kernel has this spontaneous reboot problem?

Re: FreeBSD-4.8-p10 <--> Random reboots after swapping motherboard, cpu, memory
There weren't any hardware or architecture specific optimizations with the initial install, hence I don't think compiling just the kernel for our most recent motherboard would solve anything. I will say this; since we first posted this, we found out things were a bit out of sync (userland/kernel) and have since build and installed world and kernel. That solved the reboot issue, but it seems something else is corrupt within this install. Currently the box is UP and sitting idle, we look in on it every now an then to see if it randomly reboot since the most recent build/installworld. Soon the Tyan boards (S-2466) will be returned to us. With that being said, we may wait for those original boards to return and pop the hdd's back in their original place and see if things work, or if the install is wrecked beyond recognition (continued problems). Then we may very well dump|restore our valuable,data onto a fresh install. Other than that, trying to make it work with this most recent gigabyte setup may not be worth it and cause more problems than our original one. All we wanted to do was keep the box UP while the Tyan boards RMA'd.

Laptop and DHCP
Greetings! I suppose this is a newbie question, but I figured I'd give these lists a shot. I just installed FreeBSD 5.0 on my laptop, and I have a 3COM Megahertz PCMCIA card (Model 3CCE589ET to be exact). I have a cable modem (I'm using DCHP with that) that goes into a Linksys router and 4 port switch (serving up DHCP internally), then into a Linksys hub. All of the other computers on the network can access the internet just fine, and are assigned IPs without a problem. I just can't seem to get this laptop onto the network for some reason. I only have 3 other computers on the network. 2 Linux (Mandrake and Slackware) boxes, and one WinXP Pro box. One of the linux boxes is on the hub with this laptop. Any idea what I need to do to set this up to access the internet? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide! Regards, C.M. Hobbs This e-mail was scanned by RAV Antivirus.

The FreeBSD "camp" writes services (in the form of an Operating System) so that anyone can enjoy them. For free. If a third-party wishes to use FreeBSD, it can, and for any purpose that it sees fit. This is the ideal embodied in the BSD license. 3) If you are really pro-FreeBSD (and not merely anti-everything-else, as your message implies), then you might consider joining the freebsd-advocacy list.

Short answer: use 4.8 for anything remotely critical such as a firewall, web server, etc, especially if it's going to talk to the outside world and/or uptime is important. That's why they call it 4.8-STABLE. For learning purposes or a personal system that you don't mind tinkering with every now and again, you might as well go with 5.1. For what it's worth, most releases that aren't necessarily -STABLE are plenty stable enough for normal use. They just aren't officially supported by the FreeBSD team if you run into a snag.

Antigen forwarded attachment
The entire message "Sil680 RAID Support while installing 5.1-Release", originally sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), has been forwarded to you from the Antigen Quarantine area. This message may have been re-scanned by Antigen and handled according to the appropriate scan job's settings. --- Begin Message --- I just purchased a Sil680 IDE RAID controller, and have setup a striped RAID array. When I boot from the 5.1 installation CD-ROM, FreeBSD does not recognize them as one disk. I checked the hardware notes, and "Sil680 UDMA6" is listed. Seeing Sil680 listed, I assumed that the RAID capabilities would also be supported. I read something posted awhile back referring to the Sil680 controller, saying it was supported, but dangerous unless using 5.1-Current. Does anybody know anything about the current status of this? Is there anyway to get the FreeBSD installation to recognize my RAID array, or should I just buy another controller?

How can I get cvs working with a proxy server?
Its been over a few weeks now after installing freebsd 5.0 and still can not run cvsupdate and portupgrade on one my servers. We are behind a firewall and proxy server. All traffic to the internet uses a proxy server for connection. I have been searching for ways to try to get the cvs working from behind the firewall and no one seems to know how to do it. Or at least I can not find the solution. The box has full internet access, but I simply can not have a ping to outside. i.e ping www.yahoo.com and or any server on the net would not work. but netscape and browsers can get out. Can any one suggest a solution? I cann't think that there are so many people out there asking for this and there is simply no way to do it.

Install Trouble
I am a newbie in the FreeBSD world, but an old hat for Solaris and Linux. I have an Intel box with Windows 2000 and Linux already on it. I shrunk my Windows partition to allocate about 16 GB for a new FreeBSD install. I have installed FreeBSD on VMware several times in the past, so this is my first non-virtual install. In trying FreeBSD 5.1: The install completely halts shortly after it shows the "Probing hardware (this may take a while...)" message. I look at vt1 to see what debugging messages are there. I notice that it stops right after finding the /dev/cua devices. The console is not locked, I can switch back and forth from vt0 and vt1 without trouble. It is just stopped. In trying FreeBSD 4.8: The console is completely locked shortly after the "Probing hardware" screen appears. There is no vt switching at all. Booting in verbose mode did not seem to be telling. Just that it stops after setting up the /dev/cua devices. I have tried to disable loading drivers for different hardware, including the serial devices, the nic card, etc (no SCSI). This is a Walmart Os-less PC I bought just over a year ago. I am no hardware guru, and I am not sure what info is pertinent, so tell me what I need to tell you to help me.

Re: RealTek Nic Chip
Greg, Sorry for the mangling?? Sorry that you don't seem to understand my problem or I just am not making myself clear? Please let me restate. I have two network interface cards. One is being recognized but the other is not. The one that is recognized is the D-Link DFE-530TX. After running the pciconfi -vl there are two network interfaces listed [EMAIL PROTECTED]:4:0 nVidia Corp nForce MCP2 Networking adapter the other [EMAIL PROTECTED]:6:0 D-Link DFE-530tx is there any way that I can get the other adpater to work? And again sorry for being a dweeb and trying your patience. Horrible reply mangling. I won't reply to any more messages mangled this badly. Have question though. I had to put a D-Link DFE-530TX PCI card in one of the PCI slots in the system that the OS was installed on because the motherboard (SHUTTLE FN41) has an integrated RealTek 8201BL NIC that was not responding during installation. I was wondering if there is any way to get the chip to function? When I boot and look at the output of dmesg I note the following: rl0: port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xee00-0xeeff irq 11 at device 6.0 pci1 Heh. That's a Realtek card. DFE-530TX uses RealTek Driver Any ideas on whether I can get the on-board NIC to work? Well, the first thing to do is to look at the output from ifconfig and pciconf -vl. Check the PC's bio's to insure you have the onboard Nic enabled. Since you can not see the onboard Nic in the boot log as an unknown device the motherboard bios must have the Nic disabled. Please note that I have looked at the output from ifconfig. Also note that the driver recognizes that the DFE-530TX uses the RealTek 8139 chip. Any other suggestions on how to get the RealTek 8201BL chip to work? Well, it would be good to report on what I suggested above. Oh, I forgot to mention that even though the on-board nic is enabled what I did see in the boot log as unknown was something like "if_fwe0 ethernet over firewire" ??? Mystery to me. What's the mystery? That's Ethernet over firewire, but you should know that already.

You don't need to do that for two reasons: i) tcp_wrappers re-reads it's configuration file automatically whenever a new connection gets made to a wrapped service: any changes will be picked up instantaneously. ii) Under FreeBSD the default is to compile tcp_wrappers using the optional host_options(5) style. That means that only /etc/hosts.allow is consulted, and each rule in that file contains an extra final field (compared to the hosts_access(5) style) which says whether the rule is an ALLOW or DENY rule.

This prevents any sendmail(8) daemon processes from being started up, but you'll still see error messages about trying to find the fully qualified name of the machine if anything tries to send any e-mail, which generally involves firing up sendmail. With sendmail_enable="NONE", the e-mail won't get properly delivered, but will just pile up in /var/spool/mqueue until you run 'sendmail -q' to flush the queue. Nb. In the default "out of box" configuration of FreeBSD you're going to get at least two messages every night from the periodic(8) script run, which you can suppress by adjusting things in /etc/periodic.conf -- see periodic.conf(5) for details. There's probably other things that will generate e-mails too, but you'll just have to track down and eliminate those individually if you truely want a machine without any e-mail activity at all. You can also set NO_SENDMAIL="yes" in /etc/make.conf to avoid even building sendmail when you update the system, although this won't actually get rid of the sendmail stuff that's already installed.

I don't understand why you are trying to create a separate slice for swap with Partition Magic. Maybe you are confusing the concepts of slice and partition - which is easy to confuse since Microsloth uses the terms differently from BSD UNIX namely FreeBSD. The major divisions you create with Partition Magic are called slices in FreeBSD but called partitions in MSland. If the FreeBSD world, you forther divide slices in to partitions named a-h. One of those [sub]divisions - normally 'b' is reserved for swap. Even if you decided to make a separate slice to be used for swap, you would need to furtner "divide" it in to at least one partition (again probably labeled 'b') that could be designated as swap. The system does not access slices per se for any normally addresses activity such as file space or swap. So, with Partition Magic you create a slice for MS-DOS and one for FreeBSD (up to four different slices if you want/need). Probably slice 1 will be MS and slice 2 (or maybe 4 is common) will be designated for FreeBSD. I'll assume you have managed to get the MS stuff in the MS slice. Then you do the install in to the other (FreeBSD) slice. when you do the install, you divide up that FreeBSD slice in to separate partitions. You can do then on by hand yourself on a disk if you already have FreeBSD running by using first 'fdisk' and then 'disklabel. Fdisk creates the major divisions called slices (and maniputates the Master Boot Record [MBR] which allows you to select between bootable slices). Disklabel creates the subdivisions called partitions (and manipulates the boot blocks in bootable slices). The installation utility (/stand/sysinstall) does all that for you with a sort-of-gui-ish interface. It collects the information for the slices and runs fdisk and then the information for partitions and runs disklabel. Anyway, don't try to create a 'slice' for swap. Use the 'b' partition within the FreeBSD slice. jerry > Please if there is any help you van offer me I will > sinserly appreciae it. I am almost at the end > with FreeBSD.

Post Installation Questions
Greetings, I installed 4.7 this past weekend. I screwed up a bit when I did the post install configure and didn't specify the domain name. Now, I get sendmail messages about not being able to figure out the fully qualified domain name, and using the short. This happens with an annoying frequency. I put sendmail_enable="NON" in the /etc/rc.conf file and rebooted. My understanding of the "NONE" value is that none of the sendmail processes are started. When I rebooted, none of the sendmail errors showed. I logged in and did my thing. Next time when I sent to the screen, the domain name messages (from sendmail client, queue, etc) were back. 1. how do I specify the domain name once I have already finished the post install configuration ? 2.

Re: NFS server redundancy/failover
Guy Van Sanden wrote: [ ... ] Does anyone know if and how it is possible to set up a redundant NFS server? Yes, although true redundancy for NFS is available only for read-only shares. From "man mount_nfs" under Solaris: Replicated file systems and failover resource can list multiple read-only file systems to be used to provide data. These file systems should contain equivalent directory structures and identical files. It is also recommended that they be created by a utility such as rdist(1). The file systems may be specified either with a comma-separated list of host:/pathname entries and/or NFS URL entries, or with a comma -separated list of hosts, if all file system names are the same. If multiple file systems are named and the first server in the list is down, failover will use the next alternate server to access files. If the read-only option is not chosen, replication will be disabled. File access will block on the ori- ginal if NFS locks are active for that file. What I want to do is this, I have a primary NFS server that serves home directories and data storage. I also have a second system with a lot of disk-capacity, I could set it up as a 'mirror' using rsync. Now, when the primary NFS goes down, clients should automaticly look for the backup one. If the data is read-write, and you need fileserver redundancy, NFS is not adequate: you should consider AFS/DFS instead, although I've heard rumors that the OpenAFS (Arla?) software is somewhat broken on FreeBSD at this point. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thank you Andrew Hillard I don't know why you'd need to create a seperate swap space with Partition Magic.

CUPS on SSL

You might take power consumption into acount. If your hub is not powered it can't supply more then 100mA per port. check the required consumption of your ethernet devices with usbdevs -v. In case they require more then 100mA you *must* use a self powered hub. Many cheap hub lie about their power state, but that doesn't change the requirements at all. -- B.Walter BWCThttp://www.bwct.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
