I would like to make a cd installation possible, however i am quite confused. I have windows xp machine right now and was wondering what to download. can you help me? Welcome to FreeBSD. As a complete beginner, we recommend that you start with the production release: 4.9-RELEASE. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/announce.html Detailed documentation about installing the system chan be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html However you've said you want to cut yourself some installation CDs. You need to download .iso images from one of the FTP sites: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html The Mirror Sites database is very handy for locating this sort of thing: http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php However essentially you will want to go here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.9/ or the equivalent directory on one of the mirrors. There are 3 iso images available: 4.9-i386-mini.iso This is the minimum set of stuff you need to get FreeBSD installed. Note that this *doesn't* contain anything other than the basic FreeBSD system. So, for instance, if you want X windows (you probably do), you'll have to download it separately once you've got the OS installed. 4.9-i386-disc1.iso This contains the same stuff as the mini .iso above plus quite a lot of extra useful stuff -- it's 3x the size of the mini-iso. You need either this or the mini-iso. 4.9-i386-disc2.iso This is a live-filesystem image which you can boot and run from. It's principal use is for repairing systems where the normal boot process has been broken. It's nice to have around, but you don't have to have it for doing the installation. The CHECKSUMS.MD5 file just contains this text: MD5 (4.9-i386-disc1.iso) = 9195be15a4c8c54a6a6a23272ddacaae MD5 (4.9-i386-disc2.iso) = 51d28c35308cc916b9a9bfcacb3146b8 MD5 (4.9-i386-mini.iso) = 2635f02aebce8e1c2b83d1acdbbcb2ea which lets you verify that there were no errors in the image you downloaded by comparing this checksum against a checksum you can generate locally. Again, not necessary for installation, but useful to do. If you were to buy the 4-CD installation set from one of the vendors (http://www.freebsdmall.com/ or http://www.bsdmall.com/), you'ld get precisely these disc1 and disc2 versions as the first two CDs with another 2-CDs worth of precompiled 3rd party software packages. When you come to generate the installation CDs, beware that you don't end up with a CD that contains just the one .iso file, rather than expanding the .iso into a whole load of stuff: check the archives of this list for details of exactly what you need to do with various CD burning software -- http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ is a good site to use for that.

FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE on the intel 875 or 865-series chipsets
Hi, I posted a question about FreeBSD on Shuttle hardware yesterday, but figured my subject line might've been too vague for people to recognize. Anyway, I am wondering if FreeBSD 4.x will work with drives hooked into either of those chipsets' onboard SATA. Specifically, the harddrives are western digital 10,000rpm serial ata drives, and I wonder if FreeBSD can handle booting off of them. I imagine that FreeBSD doesn't support serial ata natively, but I'd think there would be some sort of compatibility mode. Has anyone had success with this using the intel 875 and 865 series chipsets? Are there any other issues with that chipset and FreeBSD 4.x that I should be aware of? Note: I'm only interested in booting the system - if that means the drives have to run in polling mode, or ATA-33 or without ultra-DMA, so be it - I just want to know if that config CAN work. I read on the linux mailing lists that this exact config DOES work on linux 2.4 kernels, in some sort of compatibility mode. Will this be usable on FreeBSD as well?

Any chance they were clobbered in your upgrade? Echoing an environment variable may tell you what path is currently set, e.g.: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [/home/kadmin][8:32] #echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin:/usr/local/libexec/nut --- In BSD, manpath(1) uses the contents of the user's search path to attempt to determine the path to manual pages, so I'd start by fixing the search path problem. What shell do you use? In csh/tcsh, #set PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin (etc) may help. In sh/bash, I *think* it's $PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin: (etc..) $export PATH; HTH somewhat, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Need help: HyperThreading-CPU + FreeBSD-Stable + Multi-threading
Hello, Recently I've got a new PC: P4 Titan 2.6 GHz. It says in the brochure that it has HyperThreading, which I think is somehow related to the HyperThread thing in the FreeBSD kernel, right? I know there's this message in /usr/src/UPDATING, which unfortunately does not clear up the matter for me. So let me recap what I believe to understand: For utilizing the advantages of this HyperThreading stuff for users, I need in the kernel configuration: optionsSMP# Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel optionsAPIC_IO# Symmetric (APIC) I/O Furthermore, I need to set machdep.hlt_logical_cpus to 0 (zero). How do I add this to the loader so that it is set to zero at every boot up? Should I simply add to my /boot/loader.conf a line like: machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 After that, I'm done with the hyperthreading? Thanks, Rob. PS: if you're in the mood, I would appreciate a few words on what this HyperThreading is about and what advantages I can expect.

Re: FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE on the intel 875 or 865-series chipsets
On Fri, 12 Dec 2003, Brian Costello wrote: I posted a question about FreeBSD on Shuttle hardware yesterday, but figured my subject line might've been too vague for people to recognize. Anyway, I am wondering if FreeBSD 4.x will work with drives hooked into either of those chipsets' onboard SATA. Specifically, the harddrives are western digital 10,000rpm serial ata drives, and I wonder if FreeBSD can handle booting off of them. I imagine that FreeBSD doesn't support serial ata natively, but I'd think there would be some sort of compatibility mode. Has anyone had success with this using the intel 875 and 865 series chipsets? Are there any other issues with that chipset and FreeBSD 4.x that I should be aware of? Note: I'm only interested in booting the system - if that means the drives have to run in polling mode, or ATA-33 or without ultra-DMA, so be it - I just want to know if that config CAN work. I read on the linux mailing lists that this exact config DOES work on linux 2.4 kernels, in some sort of compatibility mode. Will this be usable on FreeBSD as well? The some sort of compatibility mode is called legacy mode. You set it in the main BIOS. In this mode, the 875/865 series chipsets (actually the ICH5 chip) make the SATA disks appear to be on one of the channels of the traditional motherboard ATA controller and they probably work fine in this mode with almost any OS that understands traditional motherboard ATA. There may be some confusion over the ATA cable type, but as long as the driver configures the drives for some sort of DMA, they will do SATA150. The Intel 875/865 (ICH5) SATA controller works in native (non-legacy) mode beginning with FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.x. The 4.9 driver does not understand much about SATA but it seems to work quite well enough. This controller also seemed to work correctly in native mode under 5.1. The 5.x driver is in flux at the moment. It seems to have lots of difficulty with this particular SATA controller. I don't know how seriously the bugs are viewed by the FreeBSD release engineering team (or if the bugs will be fixed in 5.2). Note that the HARDWARE.TXT files in FreeBSD releases still do not claim any particular support for Intel 875/865 (ICH5) ATA controllers. I don't know if this is policy or an oversight.

Re: Laptop for unique educational project.
I've been evaluating laptops for a similar-ish project for UNESCO. Panasonic Toughbooks seem pretty interesting and include mil spec models with onboard radio comms. But Panasonic have been completely unresponsive to requests for technical info, so I've started looking at Terralogic machines (www.terralogic.co.uk) which are also ruggedised and they have been very willing to chat and offer deals. They also cite Red Hat (I know...) as an approved and tested OS, so they're not completely MS orientated. PWR Minnesota Slinky wrote: Well, they can do anything most other laptops can do.

Serial Port /dev for apcupsd
I am purchasing a APC Smart-UPS 420VA (with serial interface) for use with apcupsd PORTVERSION=3.10.6 on a 5.1-RELEASE system, and have a question about the correct /dev to specify in apcupsd.conf. My machine has one, standard serial port. From the Handbook, there appear to be two options, both of which exist in /dev. From the Handbook: * Call-in ports are named /dev/ttydN where N is the port number, starting from zero. Generally, you use the call-in port for terminals. Call-in ports require that the serial line assert the data carrier detect (DCD) signal to work correctly. * Call-out ports are named /dev/cuaaN. You usually do not use the call-out port for terminals, just for modems. You may use the call-out port if the serial cable or the terminal does not support the carrier detect signal. Which is the correct /dev to use in apcupsd.conf?

tar, mt backup BLOCKSIZES, variable fixed question Seagate SDT224000N DDS-3 DAT
Hello, I'm having trouble understanding the tar mt blocksize settings and operation. From information around the internet, I think this is how it works but I want to run it by someone else who really knows: If I run mt blocksize 1024, that sets the actual drive to write data in 1024 byte blocks. If I make an archive with tar with flag -b 20, tar will format and send 10,240 byte blocks to the tape drive and the tape drive will then subdivide those into 1024 byte blocks and put them onto the tape. Working with larger blocksizes in tar better insures that the drive is always getting data, thereby making it not need to ever rewind to catch up if there is a delay in the host computer's data access. However, I am getting inconsistent information on the variable blocksize setting in mt and don't know if I should use it or not. One site I found said that variable blocksizes allow the drive to write blocks at a size that it thinks will be best for the data speed at hand, while another site said that it allows the drive to use the blocksize being sent to it from the backup application (making 10,240 byte blocks in the above tar example). Who is right, or have I got this all mess up? :) Also is there a preferred blocksize for DDS-3 DAT drives?

I still want these other computers to be on WAN with 10/100 Mbits, so these limitations must be made on server. Is my problem solvable with FreeBSD (as my friend told me) or not?

It also says that tape and cartridge media likes larger blocking factors, as it will give better throughput and minimize tape and head wear. I use 128 with my DDS2 drive. Also, 20 is the default, so if that's what you want to use you don't need to specify it.

Re: pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts acroread-3*'
Hi Lowell,
Thanks for your help here... my short question is now How can I
completely refresh my pkg_* suite of tools (apart from
ports/sysutils/pkg_install)? The background is below.
On Tue, 9 Dec 2003, Lowell Gilbert wrote:
David Carter-Hitchin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Anyone got a clue why this is happening? Should I pkg_delete acroread-3

I don't think acroread-3 has been in the ports system in quite some
time. I think the 'conflicts' support post-dates it, so if you remove
it and install a newer acroread port, the problem should go away.
Unfortunately this is not a simple as that.
acroread-5.08/+CONTENTS is actually the file with the offending line
@conflics acroread-3*, so my first thought was hey, acrobat 5 is not
*that* old, I don't want to remove that. So, I thought I'd try a little
hack; made a backup of +CONTENTS (with pico actually, couldn't figure out
why 'vi \+CONTENTS' and suchlike variants were not working.. a digression
I haven't got time for now :-) and removed the conflicts line; hey
presto! the pkg_info command progressed beyond the point it was getting
stuck on before. It then barfed in the same way on another package (which
happened to be reasonably old), so I edited that one's +CONTENTS and again
pkg_info went further... however it now stuck on linux-base which was
installed less than a month ago... suspicious...
Hmm... time to google again. I turned up this recent reply to a post to
this list from Erik Trulsson:
And that still doesn't help me figure out why the packages are not
installing? I have not had problems installing packages up until I've
tried to update the ports collection.
{error}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/apps/pkgs] pkg_add openssh-portable-3.7.1p2.tgz
pkg_add: bad command '@conflicts openssh-3.*'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/apps/pkgs] pkg_add openssh-3.6.1_5.tgz
pkg_add: bad command '@conflicts openssh-portable-*'
{/error}
Because the packages in question rely on a feature (the @conflicts
directive in this case) that the pkg_add(1) command shipped with
FreeBSD 4.0 does not know how to handle.
To handle packages that have been built from an up-to-date ports
collection, you usually need up-to-date versions of the pkg_* tools.
(It seems as if you can get such via the sysutils/pkg_install port, but
I haven't tested that myself, so I don't know how well it works.)
Well, guess what? I've recently (couple of months ago) upgraded from FBSD
4.2 to 4.8 and so there must be something still archaic about my pkg_*
tools or underlying libraries that is causing this. The upgrade generally
went without any problems and everything (200+ packages) are working ok
(apart from some annoying TeX type errors and this pkg problem).
I have also installed sysutils/pkg_install (in fact I had originally tried
that under 4.2) and have recently done a reinstall too. I managed to get
pkg_version to report:
pkg_install-20030714_1 = up-to-date with port
Can anyone say what needs refreshing on my FBSD? I ktrace'd pkg_info and
listed all the libraries I could see it using and they seem up to date:

Removing Java ?
Hi - I've got a problem installing the JDK on FreeBSD 4.8 (see /usr/ports/java/jdk13 - make all dumps - any suggestions ? previous post for details) and as I don't know how to fix I was thinking that I might completely uninstall all Java related stuff and start again. So far I have obtained the Linux JDK, the sources for the JDK and the FreeBSD patchset for the JDK and done a 'make install'. In fact I've done a make install several times as the process fell over because certain dependencies weren't met and so I fixed those and restarted.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Fetchmail piping to sendmail, DNS probs causing POP server timeout
Like many of us, I get a *lot* of spam coming into my ISP-assigned
email address. Since I originally installed this system (at release
4.2) I have used fetchmail piping through to sendmail to fetch from 3
POP accounts. I don't run DNS on my box and use my ISP's DNS servers
for resolution.
I'm now on 4.9 and seems like a couple of release upgrades back, I
started having problems with this setup. I don't know if it was some
upgrade of fetchmail and/or sendmail that started the problem, or if
it was just coincidence.
Many of the spam emails use invalid from domains, or semi-valid ones
(having MX records but no A records for instance).
I have noticed a couple of particularly troublesome domains that cause
the following to happen:
-- fetchmail logs into the POP server and starts retrieving mail
-- each mail is piped through to sendmail, which goes through
its normal domain verification checks and accepts the mail
if the checks succeed
-- several mails are processed like this, then it gets to the email
with the FUBAR domain
-- sendmail does what I suppose is the equivalent of a host
command on the bad domain name to attempt verification
-- my ISP's DNS servers (2 of them) give timeouts on the A and
records (I have verified this with the host command) and
finally cough up an MX record. However sendmail is doing this,
given its retrans and retry settings, ends up taking almost 3
minutes to finally return from the check
-- by this time, my ISP's POP server has shut down my connection
due to inactivity and fetchmail terminates with a socket error
So the end result is I get multiple copies of all the mail that is
before the bad one in the mailbox, and other mail stacks up
unretrieved behind the bad one until I log into the ISP's webmail
system, find and manually delete the bad email. Subsequent fetchmail
runs will then usually fetch all my mail, until that spammer hits me
up again to buy some Xanax.
I tried playing with various combinations of the TO_RESOLVER_RETRANS
and TO_RESOLVER_RETRY settings to no final avail. I could tell it
was having an effect because the length of time to return from the
check of the bad domain changed. But I found that I would have to
put them to something like 1-2 seconds and 1-2 retries to get it work
(it takes 40 seconds for a host command on that domain to return),
and I don't like the idea of that for reliability of verification of
good domains.
I ended up just putting the worst offender in my access file with a
REJECT, rebuilding the DB and restarting sendmail, thinking this
would solve it for that particular domain. But for some reason
sendmail still tries to verify the domain even though I have plainly
told it to just reject the mail. Seems to me like the first thing
sendmail should do is check the access db and just blindly pass
through domains with an OK and block those with a REJECT, eliminating
the need to do a DNS check for those domains. I can tell it's
processing the REJECT because my maillog says so, but it's still
doing the DNS check.
I know that the root cause of the problem is incomplete DNS records
for the spammer's domain, probably combined with at least partially
braindead DNS servers at my ISP (for instance, they recently stopped
resolving earthlink.net for a little while). I don't think I will
have much luck getting either of those situations to change.
Does anyone know why sendmail insists on performing a domain lookup
even on domains that I have specified in the access db? Is there a
configuration parameter I can set to make it stop doing that?
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for the long post. This
might be better sent to some kind of sendmail list, but I know the
folks who answer questions here have knowledge both deep and wide.

Make and rm die randomly

Read the man pages for natd and ipfw and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html for more information. The easiest way to reinitialize the system is to type shutdown now. This will drop you into single user mode. Press return when prompted for a shell. Hit Ctrl+D and the rc system will be run through and put you back into multi-user mode. Check for connectivity from the router and the Windows box. As a side note, you can delete the defaultrouter entry. That's for your FreeBSD box, not LAN clients. It's getting reset by dhclient when it gets lease information from your ISP's DHCP server anyway. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hostname=idfubar.dyndns.org is wrong. This needs to be a fake domain name. Dyndns.org is real name. Hostname=idfubar.fbsdhome.com is better. To enable NATD you need ipfw firewall.
