Hello! It sounds strange to me, that you got 30 IPs assigned to 1 NIC and you ran out of usable ones. Didn't you think about changing size of your subnet assigned to that NIC? If you'll assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 you'll get 254 usable IPs. Now you can forget about your 2nd NIC. All you have to do (after changing the subnet mask on server) is to change mask on hosts in your network (you can leave other settings unchanged). Hope it will work for you.

RealTek 8139 PC Card
I'm trying to get a realtek 8139 pcmcia network card to work with FreeBSD, it was working nicely with linux using the standard 8139 driver so I'm sure the card is good. I have the rl driver compiled staticly into the kernel, but I'm not sure if this works with pc cards as the device isn't present when the system boots, do I need to remove it and just use the module? I looked in the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf file and found no references to any realtek drivers, do I need to add one? The following line from pciconf I believe identifies the realtek card, but I'm not sure: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0xb18b0e11 chip=0x4c4d1002 rev=0x64 hdr=0x00 Also, is there any program with nicer output like lspci or cardctl ident on linux?

FreeBSD Locked Up
I have been using FreeBSD 4.9 on a Compaq Presario laptop for about 3 1/2 months now without any troubles, and before that RedHat Linux for about a year and a half. Just yesterday morning though I awoke to find my system completely frozen, no screensaver was on, but I couldn't move the mouse pointer, switch vcs, or ssh in, though, strangely enough I could ping it. Is there anything I can do now to try and figure out why it might of crashed or is there any possible cause? Also, on reboot, I notice fsck took a considerable time to check the disk, though nothing major was found that interrupted the boot process. Is this because FreeBSD doesn't use a journalling filesystem? I think I read somewhere that FreeBSD chose to use a filesystem with soft updates over a journalling one because it provides relatively equal data integrity compared to a journalling one, but is more efficient with the order of writing data, but does this mean that FreeBSD will always take longer to recover from a crash? -- I sense much NT in you.

Hi!
BTW:Which server model do you plan to buy?
In $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,v 1.2.2.13 2003/12/13 07:56:28 ps
Exp $
both models appear:
ciss_vendor_data[] = {
{ 0x0e11, 0x4070, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "Compaq Smart Array 5300" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x4080, CISS_BOARD_SA5B, "Compaq Smart Array 5i" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x4082, CISS_BOARD_SA5B, "Compaq Smart Array 532" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x4083, CISS_BOARD_SA5B, "HP Smart Array 5312" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x4091, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "HP Smart Array 6i" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x409A, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "HP Smart Array 641" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x409B, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "HP Smart Array 642" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x409C, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "HP Smart Array 6400" },
{ 0x0e11, 0x409D, CISS_BOARD_SA5, "HP Smart Array 6400 EM" },
But I cannot comment on stability fo the models mentioned above...
I have some boxes here, that use the smartarry 5 and 5iplus with 2003
Server, and I had some old 360 g1 and g2, the g2 having the SA5 onboard,
and those were rock-solid.
But with the PCI ones I have no hands-on-experience, but it should be
the same like the onboard ones. Regarding terms of data security, they
are not the fastest, but reliable.
(OK, could be that 5.2 and GEOM still have some rough edges, I had mine
running 4.8-stable)

Beginning with FreeBSD 5.0, it is possible to mount a filesystem immediatly even if it is dirty, caused by a crash. The file system check will be delayed for some time till the system is running. That's possible because soft updates also help to minimize the relevancy of inconsistencies. In FreeBSD 4.9 and earlier, a filesystem check is inevitable if the file system is dirty.

freebsd5.2 and kdm - what is wrong?
Hi! First of all - Thank You for FreeBsd! Unitl now I've used Linux, but when time comes to set my own www server (apache) I tried bsd and now I'm totally convinced. However, some things are diifferent and I have few problems that I can't solve linux-way. As in the topic: I want to have graphical login with kdm. I've set everything: when I login on console ,type 'startx' under tcsh, X's comes up with KDE and everything is fine. Then i've changed /etc/ttys and add line: ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm - nodaemon xterm on secure i've added 'exec startkde' to .xsession, configured KControl and so on.. After reboot kdm graphical login appears - things are going well - i'm typing my login name, password then clicking OK - login is accepted, something is loading... KDE? No! A login again! So again: my login, my pass - few seconds - login again :( Kde just doesn't want to load, instead kdm login appears everytime...

4.x disk slice missing in 5.2.1-RC
Hi all! On one of my hard disks, I have two slices. The first, /dev/ad4s1, is fromatted FAT32 and contains a Windows installation. The second, /dev/ad4s2, contains a FreeBSD 4-STABLE installation. The FreeBSD slice, of course, is further split into the usual partitions (/dev/ad4s2a and so on). Those partitions are all formatted UFS1. When I boot into this 4-STABLE installation, all slices and partitions are found and the system runs perfectly. However, when I boot into 5.2.1-RC, which I have installed onto another hard drive (/dev/ad6s1), the /dev/ad4s2 partition is missing. At boot time, the entries /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad4s1 are created - so the FAT32 partition is found. But the entry for /dev/ad4s2 is missing. I tried looking for the partition using fdisk and it is found as the second partition, containing a *BSD system. I then tried to check the disk labels, but disklabel complained that /dev/ad4s2 does not exist. Mounting any partition such as /dev/ad4s2a doesn't work either, as the entries are not auto-created by devfs since their parent /dev/ad4s2 does not exist. I tried to manually create this device entry, but mknod wouldn't let me. So, I am out of ideas. How can fdisk see the partition, 4-STABLE boot just fine from it, but devfs simply ignore it?

Re: 5.2 Bridging issue
I asked: I've got a bridge(4) issue on a BSD 5.2.1 box. The bridging box has three ethernet interfaces, two bridged together in a single cluster, and one connected to the internet. The box acts as a bridge for the two network segments, and as a router to the Internet (it's the default gateway). The problem is, only one of the bridged segments can communicate with the BSD box directly (and thus the Internet), even though the two segments can talk to each other just fine. Bjorn Eikeland replied: Try sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 - sounds like the same problem i had with my bridge a while back. good luck! Bjorn Thanks! That was it! I didn't even think to check this, since I was unaware that it was set to 1 by default in 5.2. Maybe I'll submit a patch PR for the bridge(4) man page to mention this.

I originally wrote: I've got a bridge(4) issue on a BSD 5.2.1 box. The bridging box has three ethernet interfaces, two bridged together in a single cluster, and one connected to the internet. The box acts as a bridge for the two network segments, and as a router to the Internet (it's the default gateway). The problem is, only one of the bridged segments can communicate with the BSD box directly (and thus the Internet), even though the two segments can talk to each other just fine. And Bjorn Eikeland responded: Try sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 - sounds like the same problem i had with my bridge a while back. good luck! Bjorn I then replied that his Bjorn's explanation worked. Well, I feel like an idiot now, but it turns out it didn't work after all. I just had plugged in my test machine into the wrong ethernet port, so of course things worked. Quick recap of my set-up: FreeBSD box with 3 interfaces, two bridged, the other connects to the Internet. The interfaces are as follows: em010.10.10.1/24 Bridged with rl1 rl010.20.20.2/24 Not bridged, connects to rest of net rl1NO IP ADDRESS Bridged with em0 so hosts on this segment are on the same 10.10.10.0/24 subnet All hosts on 10.10.10.0/24 use 10.10.10.1 as the default gateway. The FreeBSD box in question acts as a router and bridge, routing stuff to an upstream router (call it 10.20.20.1). Some sysctl settings: - net.link.ether.bridge.enable: 1 net.link.ether.bridge.config: em0:1,rl1:1 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw: 0 net.inet.ip.check_interface: 0 net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 Routing Table: -- Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif default10.20.20.1 UGS 0 193583rl0 10/24 link#3 UC 00em0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2300lo0 10.20.20.0/24 link#1 UC 00rl0 10.20.20.1 01:23:45:67:89:ab UHLW10rl0 ifconfig sample: rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 10.20.20.2 netmask 0xfff0 broadcast 10.20.20.255 ether 0f:1e:2d:3c:4b:3a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active rl1: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=8 ether 00:11:aa:bb:22:cc media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active em0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=3 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.10.10.255 ether ab:cd:ef:98:76:54 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 PROBLEM RECAP: -- Traffic between em0 and rl1 is bridged just fine, EXCEPT for traffic TO/FROM the FreeBSD host itself TO any hosts on rl1 (the interface without the IP address). So 10.10.10.100 on rl1 can talk with 10.10.10.50 on em0, ARP traffic as well as IP traffic. But the BSD host will never get ARP or IP traffic to/from 10.10.10.100 on rl1. The BSD host can talk just fine to 10.10.10.50 on em0. Anyone else have any ideas? The system's running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2. Thanks again in advance!

"shutdown -p now" causes auto power up at midnight
running 5.2.x current w/acpi active on an hp dl140 when i "shutdown -p now" the system powers off, then at exactly midnight the system powers on. does the now/0 become a boot time instead of a shutdown time on some systems? when i "shutdown -h now" and manually press the pwr button, the system stays down. i won't be surprised if this is an hp acpi issue, but i am surprised i don't see any midnight power up(s) reported in the freebsd or hp mailing list archives. it is a dev system. i guess it might be unusual to keep a server powered down so much. closest issues in the archives are related to haunted laptops restarting, but no mention of a fixed 00:00 boot time. whatdidimiss? = ~~ Ed Sweeney, New York City mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

No More Daily Run Output
All, We've got a FreeBSD 4.7 box that's been running great for the last year and a half or so. We host our customer's email on this box using postfix. Before the FreeBSD box, we had two Linux boxes that hosted all of the email. We've since migrated over the accounts just recently. Approximately one week ago, the day after we moved over approximately 300 accounts, I no longer get a 'daily run output' email. I do stil get the security run output and a pflogsumm report every morning. Ive tried running the 'periodic daily' manually, but I only get the security report.

Re: Compaq RAID on 4.9-RELEASE?
Olaf,
Its an ML350. I know they are real cheap, however the alternative is
clone based servers, so I'm real happy there is a budget line. Now there
is no excuse not to have server class machines.
I should have checked the source myself. I see that 4.9-RELEASE uses an
older version of ciss.c (1.2.2.9) that doesn't mention the 641 driver,
but it is in STABLE.
BUT I have gotten bitten in the past with 'supported' equipment not
being very well supported. On Compaq servers. So I was hoping for a
testimonial.
I have used the old Smart Array controllers with good success. As for
performance, the 641 should be much faster than the 532.
Thanks Olaf!

But I cannot comment on stability fo the models mentioned above...
I have some boxes here, that use the smartarry 5 and 5iplus with 2003
Server, and I had some old 360 g1 and g2, the g2 having the SA5 onboard,
and those were rock-solid.
But with the PCI ones I have no hands-on-experience, but it should be
the same like the onboard ones. Regarding terms of data security, they
are not the fastest, but reliable.

Re: Why would drive run at UDMA33? (Segate 80GB)
(Still going through some old messages, but this thread had some misconceptions and myths that I'd like to straighten out): ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI rev 5 Slave: acd0 ATA/ATAPI rev 0 ATA channel 1: Master: ad2 ATA/ATAPI rev 6 Slave: no device present Here is your problem. On channel 0 You have an UDMA100 disk and an UDMA33 cd-rw. The motherboard IDE controller steps down the speed to the speed of the slowest device. You have to move the cd-rw device This is not true. With today's computers, all disks will operate at their highest speed, not matter what other device they are paired with. Their transfer rate may be slowed down if *both* devices are accessed at the exact same time, but that's nothing to worry about generally. So just because you have a CD-ROM and an UDMA100 disk on the same channel, it doesn't mean the UDMA100 disk will be slowed in nearly any noticable fashion. Also mentioned in this thread was something about the cable being connected "backwards". There is no "motherboard" and "disk" connecting direction in an IDE cable, be it a reguler one or a UDMA 100 one. Cables are made to be a little more convenient if you hook them up the "right" way (with two connectors closer together at one end), but it has no bearing on the speed or the UDMA detected. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, assuming that the obvious recourse of just using cvsup(1) to grab the ports tree is not feasible for you -- it's only about 275Mb for the whole tree and the procedure for doing that has been discussed ad nauseam in this list and in many other places, principally the Handbook -- then you've got two options: 1) Install the pre-compiled version of the port from the FreeBSD packages collection. You will also need to install all of the dependencies of the package, which are: % pkg_info -r netpbm\* Information for netpbm-10.20_1: Depends on: Dependency: jpeg-6b_1 Dependency: png-1.2.5_3 Dependency: tiff-3.6.1_1 Dependency: jbigkit-1.5 You can download packages compiled for 4.x from eg. ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/graphics where there are packages for all of the requirements, although some are a version behind the latest. Then just use pkg_add(1) to install them. Note that these packages will have been compiled on 4.9-STABLE, but they should still work OK on 4.8. 2) Use cvsup(1) to get the core parts of the ports system (that's the 'ports-base' collection in cvsup terms) and seeing as you've got to set up cvsup(1) anyhow, you might as well grab 'ports-graphics' as well. If you don't pull down 'ports-graphics', instead you can go to the cvsweb interface and use the "Download this directory in tarball" link. eg: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/netpbm/netpbm.tar.gz?tarball=1 You'll need to grab the tarballs for all of the dependencies as well. Just untar those directories anywhere on your disk, and so long as /usr/ports/Mk and /usr/ports/distfiles exist you can compile and install at will. In both of these cases, you need to install the dependencies first, and then install netpbm. On the whole it is much, much easier just to grab the whole ports tree, in which case you need do no more than a 'make install' inside /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm and all of the dependencies will be installed for you automatically.

RE: Why would drive run at UDMA33? (Segate 80GB)
I have an PC with mfg date of 5/2003 and the motherboard manually has warning note about separating the cdrom drive to the secondary IDE controller because it will force the IDE controller to step down the max speed to the slowest device. This was not only for cdrom drives but also mixing UDMA100 and UDMA66 and UDMA33 disk on any IDE controller. IDE max controller speed is set by bios at boot time after the probe post process completes. So just exactly what time period are you referencing by "With today's computers"? DO you work for Bios chip manufacture, or write the FBSD bios's boot probe code? What is your technical background to make such an authoritative statement in light of so much information to the contrary? Now on the subject of which end of the IDE ribbon you plug into the motherboard. I agree with you that it makes no difference other that one end has 2 nipples closely spaced together and if that end is plugged into the motherboard it's next to imposable to attach an second device to the ribbon. Now if the devices are jumper as master and slave it does make an difference which of the 2 closely spaced nipples are used as the nipples have default meanings. And I believe the default nipple meaning (IE: master, slave) changed from the UDMA33 of the ending nipple being master to middle nipple being master for UDMA66 & 100. Now I am no technical wizard, but that has been me experience as new PCs have replaced older ones in the company I work for and I have had to configure them before giving them to the users. Now the work PC all rum ms/windows and I can see the 'post' summary display shows the UDMA of 33 on both devices when I have an UDMA100 hard drive and UDMA33 cdrom on same IDE controller.

You have to move the cd-rw device This is not true. With today's computers, all disks will operate at their highest speed, not matter what other device they are paired with. Their transfer rate may be slowed down if *both* devices are accessed at the exact same time, but that's nothing to worry about generally. So just because you have a CD-ROM and an UDMA100 disk on the same channel, it doesn't mean the UDMA100 disk will be slowed in nearly any noticable fashion. Also mentioned in this thread was something about the cable being connected "backwards". There is no "motherboard" and "disk" connecting direction in an IDE cable, be it a reguler one or a UDMA 100 one. Cables are made to be a little more convenient if you hook them up the "right" way (with two connectors closer together at one end), but it has no bearing on the speed or the UDMA detected. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Please describe this easy method of yours. Mirroring back packets to the attacker is, first of all, a nasty thing. Secondly, it is only possible if the attacker's IP is known. If it is not known, then obviously it's not possible. Knowing the attacker's IP does not necessarly mean that he is performing the current attacks from that IP. Packet redirection with ipfw is done using divert sockets. One needs to have it compiled into the kernel. Divert sockets are also used by ipfw nat redirection. It's all in the man pages of ipfw. If the flood is severly intense (from the point of stack memory exhaution), it might be a good improvement to drop 5% of incoming SYN packets. This can also be done with ipfw, and is described in the manual pages. However, I don't think one would ever come to this. Asking the ISP to put the server behind a decent cisco router, and implement syn cookies on hardware devices, is the best protection. -- Alin-Adrian Anton Reversed Hell Networks GPG keyID 0x1E2FFF2E (2963 0C11 1AF1 96F6 0030 6EE9 D323 639D 1E2F FF2E) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1E2FFF2E ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well-behaved ports respect CFLAGS, meaning that you can define that variable
in /etc/make.conf (or on the command line when you invoke make), and the port
should use that value when building the software.
If you tell us which port is broken, someone will fix it. For example, one of
the ports I maintain the author explicitly sets -O2, but the port Makefile

RE: SYN Attacks - how i cant stop it
Very interesting reading about net.inet.tcp.syncookies 'knob'. Thank you for such an curious and informative reply. I am running 4.9 and net.inet.tcp.syncookies=1 is the default. I am writing an 'Harding you FBSD system' article for the local FBSD club, would you please review the following. Are my comments correct? Are there any other knobs I should include? I got the rc.conf securelevel ok as it from the man page. # # The sysctl.conf file contains MIB's to change the default setting # of internal options of the kernel at boot up time. These Mib's # control how network packets are handled after IPFW or IPFILTER # software applications firewall returns the packet to the kernel. # Some of these MIB's may seem like they are doing the say thing, # but because there is no FBSD provided documentation on the order # these MIB's get control, they all get enabled here and we let the # kernel do it's thing. # # NOTE: Some of these MIB's can also be set in rc.conf and or the # Kernel source. This will not hurt anything. # # Redirect attacks is the purposeful mass issuing of ICMP type 5 packets. # In a normal network, redirects to the end stations should not be required. # To defend against this type of attack both the sending and accepting of # redirect should be disabled". The first statement below enables the MIB # to drop all inbound icmp redirect packets without returning any response. # The second statement turns off the logging of redirect packets because # there in no limit and this could fill up your logs consuming your whole # hard drive. But there is no information about where the redirect packets # get logged. The last statement changes the FBSD default about allowing # redirects to be sent from this system to the internet from yes to no. # This option is ignored unless the host is routing IP packets, and # should normally be enabled (=1) on all systems # man icmp(4) and inet(4) and man ip(4) do not contain info about these MIB. # man sysctl(3) does have info on ip.redirect net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect=1 net.inet.icmp.log_redirect=0 net.inet.ip.redirect=0 # Source routing is another way for an attacker to try to reach non routable # addresses behind your box.

The following will disable them. # man inet(4) and man ip(4) do not contain any information on these MIBs. net.inet.ip.sourceroute=0 net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute=0 # This MIB only drops ICMP Echo requests which have a destination of your # broadcast address.

Ok, does it matter that the port I want to install doesn't have any
references to APACHE_PORT in its Makefile? Grepping through /usr/ports I
can see that many ports do, but the port I want to install
(mail/squirrelmail) doesn't.
If squirrelmail has a direct dependecy like BUILD_DEPEND=...www/apache13
then it does matter. If squirrelmail depends on other ports that have this
kind of dependency then it does matter too, if these other ports have their
dependency set via APACHE_PORT then it does not matter.
Here we had a similar problem with apache13 packages: We have different
setups for workstations/servers, some have mod_ssl apache some have
apache13 only. All setup is done via packages, not ports. We have a compile
workstation that creates the packages to install. Our solution: Ports may
have subversions, which allows dependend packages to refer to the port and
accept all subversions as a valid dependency (with a warning). Example: You
can install the popular postgresql database either as server or as client
only. All deps to postgres client will be fullfilled by both packages.
To build mod-ssl apache13 package as a "variant" of the apache13 I renamed
www/apache13-modssl to www/apache13 (necessary for pkg-database) and
modified the Makefile like this:
diff Makefile.orig Makefile
8,9c8,9
< PORTNAME= apache+mod_ssl
< PORTVERSION= ${VERSION_APACHE}+${VERSION_MODSSL}
---
> PORTNAME= apache
> PORTVERSION= ${VERSION_APACHE}
16a17
> PKGNAMESUFFIX=-modssl
The last line make the variant of apache13: apache13-modssl.
Well, this is of course a hack, because modifications of the ports usually
are not such a good idea: If you cvsup all modifications will be lost. Our
focus was to have precompiled packages for automated setup. We modified the
ports Makefiles because we believe that we know what we are doing (and
others will know better and roll the eyes :-). Most probably there is a
better solution for this scenario but I didn't found one and I wanted to
learn more about the ports system so I did it this way.

That's unfortunate and hard to believe, but I have little choice but to believe it. I was hoping for a better mechanism of tracing what happened. But as you say, once a reboot is called for and the processes are stopped, I suppose there's nothing left running to write to a log.

RE: Using dhclient to update zoneedit with my dynamic IP address

Yes.

RE: Using dhclient to update zoneedit with my dynamic IP address
Thanks for this sample, but it exceeds my script coding ability.
I added some comments to your sample but I may be lost.
#!/bin/sh
updater_prog = /usr/local/bin/noip2# program to run
if [ x$reason = xREBOOT ] || \ # is this an reboot or
[ x$old_ip_address = x ] || \ # old ip field empty or
[ x$old_ip_address != x$new_ip_address ]; then # old not EQ
new then
if [ -x $updater_prog ]; then# don't know what
this does
${updater_prog} -i "$new_ip_address"# exec program
fi
fi
For my purposes I think this is what I need.
This way zoneedit is only updated when ip changes.
Do I have script correct?
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks.shwith this content
#!/bin/sh
# This script only gets called when dhclient runs
# (IE: boot and lease expire)
# Old and new ip address fields are populated by dhclient,
# which keeps the old used IP address in some config file
# so it's not lost on reboot and can be read in at boot time to
# determine if the ip has changed. So with cable or dsl modem
# that stays powered on while PC is powered off still is
# using old IP address.
updater_prog = /usr/local/bin/wgetrest of command # my wget
pgm
if [ x$old_ip_address != x$new_ip_address ]; # old not EQ new
then ${updater_prog} # exec my pgm

Re: Creating mp3
Yes, mp3 does suck. Vorbis, AAC, and WMA are superior. Vorbis is better at all bitrates, not just above some magical number. I use my PDA to play files when I'm out and about, $80 for a cheap one on eBay. As you said though, there might be a few reasons for someone to use mp3. There are lots of cute little gagdets out there that support mp3 and wma, and not as many that support vorbis. This is changing though.

Unless you show me an affordable hardware-vorbis-player. There's plenty of CD-Players that will also play mp3-CDs, just like most standalone-DVD-players. Also, I hear, XMMS does not support vorbis. I don't know for sure, though. Furthermore, mp3 offers suffcient audio-quality (if your audio-source is of good quality and your encoder is good) for most circumstances - Vorbis, as far as I know, offers superior audio-quality only at bitrates above 160 kbps. And at that bitrates, I don't think I could tell mp3 from vorbis, at least not using my ES1371-based sound-card and my cheap active speakers. Just to make things clear, there's *nothing* wrong with vorbis. If you care for audio-quality primarily and your source offers that degree of quality, go for vorbis! But there *are* reasons for still using mp3, and it's not exactly like mp3 sucks. =) abcde is nice, as is cdparanoia AFAIK, abcde only serves as a frontend for various other tools (cdparanoia, lame, oggenc, ...).

Re: Mounting to freebsd ufs under WinXP
I look into this issue an average of once a year, because it's always
been my dream to have a dual boot machine in which XP can read/write my
UFS/ext2/etc. partitions and FreeBSD/Linux/etc. can read/write my NTFS
partitions.
I've seen a handful of 3rd party software out there that seems to come
close, but I've never actually tried any of them because I get the
impression that they are buggy, not fully-developed, or worse, abandoned
projects.
My current, (and actually quite happy) compromise is to have XP on FAT32
(because *nix can't write to NTFS {yet}), and then do my schleping while
booted into FreeBSD. I backup my XP data from FreeBSD, and if I need to
transfer files to XP, FreeBSD can write to that partition.
I mount /dev/ad0s1 and make a sybolic link in my home directory to what
would be C:\Documents and Settings\myname\My Documents.
So when I do an "ls /home/myname/windata", I will see my XP "My
Documents". I can delete, create and edit files through this, too.
Works pretty nicely for me. I'm not crazy about the FAT32 compromise
(I've always been a stickler for NTFS security), but for a single user
box, I'm willing to compromise. Wouldn't dream of doing this on a
production box, though.

DW

I've been trying to compile abcde in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE from the ports tree
(/usr/ports/audio/abcde). When I type make all install clean it nicely
fetches everything and compiles, but I noticed it wasn't finished after 3
hours. I took a peek and I noticed it was endlessly trying to configure the
same thing. Here is an complete output of the looping part:

Determining free memory on FreeBSD 4.8-REL
I know this question has been asked, but the answers I find tend to be along the lines of "Well, it's complicated." How do I determine if my FreeBSD is actually low on memory not? And what is Inact? I did read the manpages, but even they seem to skirt how I should view Inact vs. Free. (I did read the tuning manpage.) Let's say I have this: last pid: 23737; load averages: 0.21, 0.15, 0.27 up 5+20:43:14 15:22:31 231 processes: 1 running, 230 sleeping CPU states: 5.0% user, 0.0% nice, 2.7% system, 1.6% interrupt, 90.7% idle Mem: 76M Active, 25M Inact, 62M Wired, 2876K Cache, 35M Buf, 82M Free Swap: 496M Total, 41M Used, 456M Free, 8% Inuse So I have 82MB of free memory, 35MB of memory being used by the OS as disk IO, cache is different from Buf in some way or another (the top manpage doesn't quite go into details here). I don't quite get Inact and Wired. Why am I using 41MB of swap then if I have 82MB of free memory? On another box I have: last pid: 42029; load averages: 0.46, 0.38, 0.34 up 5+20:24:15 15:27:12 35 processes: 2 running, 33 sleeping CPU states: 1.0% user, 0.0% nice, 11.7% system, 6.1% interrupt, 81.3% idle Mem: 51M Active, 332M Inact, 97M Wired, 19M Cache, 61M Buf, 992K Free Swap: 1008M Total, 116K Used, 1008M Free 992K in Free but 332MB in Inact. So what is my conclusion here? That I have 332,992 KB free for use? Looking at vmstat I have no swapping going on: # vmstat 5 procs memory pagedisks faults cpu r b w avmfre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 ad4 in sy cs us sy id 3 0 0 189844 29624 80 0 0 0 442 375 0 0 2863 4011 564 3 6 90 (ignore) 2 0 0 188480 271322 0 0 0 829 714 0 0 5244 1041 667 1 9 90 2 0 0 188900 166601 0 0 0 1231 710 0 3 7215 1425 809 1 10 89 If I see ANY swapping going on should I worry?

Re: Why would drive run at UDMA33? (Segate 80GB)
JJB wrote: This is not true. With today's computers, all disks will operate at their highest speed, not matter what other device they are paired with. Their transfer rate may be slowed down if *both* devices are accessed at the exact same time, but that's nothing to worry about generally. So just because you have a CD-ROM and an UDMA100 disk on the same channel, it doesn't mean the UDMA100 disk will be slowed in nearly any noticable fashion. I have an PC with mfg date of 5/2003 and the motherboard manually has warning note about separating the cdrom drive to the secondary IDE controller because it will force the IDE controller to step down the max speed to the slowest device. This was not only for cdrom drives but also mixing UDMA100 and UDMA66 and UDMA33 disk on any IDE controller. IDE max controller speed is set by bios at boot time after the probe post process completes. So just exactly what time period are you referencing by "With today's computers"? DO you work for Bios chip manufacture, or write the FBSD bios's boot probe code? What is your technical background to make such an authoritative statement in light of so much information to the contrary? All you need to do is to Google for "hard drive cd-rom myth" and you'll get plenty of places that explain this. I guarantee you that a UDMA100 drive won't be set at PIO4 just because there's a CD-ROM drive on the same channel. Your manual is probably talking about exactly what I said - if both devices are accessed at the same time, the transfer will occur at the slower rate. But that does not mean either the bios or FreeBSD doesn't know that a UDMA100 drive is out there. In fact, my FreeBSD has both a UDMA66 and 100 on it, and FreeBSD knows all about the two. And if you are just getting stuff from the hard drive (which is probably 95+% of the time), then you have a perfectly functioning UDMA100 drive. second device to the ribbon. Now if the devices are jumper as master and slave it does make an difference which of the 2 closely spaced nipples are used as the nipples have default meanings. And I believe I don't think this is true either. I've hooked up a lot of drives in my time, and I've never seen this. And no "build it yourself" guide that I was able to find on the 'net mentioned anything at all about which nipple to plug into the slave or master drive. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't quite get Inact and Wired. You can view all of Inactive, Cache and Free as free memory. The difference is if the memory might be "dirty" and need to be flushed to swap before being reused. (Free is completely free and ready to be used at once, Cache is probably not dirty, while Inactive is probably dirty.) > > Why am I using 41MB of swap then if I have 82MB of free memory? One possible reason is that you previously used a lot of memory and so that memory was swapped out, but it has not been swapped in again since it has been referenced since then. The other reason is that FreeBSD starts swapping before it absolutely has to, in order to always have a some free memory available when a program wants it.

Hello Adam Seniuk,
first you need to adjust the entries in /etc/fstab. Boot a rescue CD
(FreeBSD CD #2) and mount /dev/ad2s1a (or ad2s{2,3,4}a) on /mnt and
edit /mnt/etc/fstab.
If there are no disks ad0 and ad1 you must tell the BIOS to boot
drive E.
If there are disks ad0 and ad1 you might install the boot manager on
ad0 and ad1 with boot0cfg. This allows you to jump via ad0 and ad1
to ad2 during boot. But depending what the MBRs of ad0 and ad1
already contain (other boot managers?) this may not be what you
want.

Hi, I got a question, my dedicated server provider has installed 5.1-Release and refuses to install 4.7 for me. Can I recompile to 5.1-STABLE using the same method as 4.7 and same 4.x-stable-supfile and kernel config file. OR do i need to use a 5,x-stable method? any idea any url i can find help in compiling 5.1-REL to STABLE. Thanks!

(Free is completely free and ready to be used at once, Cache is probably not dirty, while Inactive is probably dirty.) Let me rephrase this a little. Pages in Inactive _can_ be dirty (if they have been written to) while pages in Cache are already clean (laundered), that is, can be used for other purposes without delay, but can also be reactivated (moved to Active) if their current contents is needed again. Inactive, on the other hand, has to be laundered before the pages move on to Cache, which they eventually do. It works like this: If the kernel's laundry routine finds a dirty page in Inactive for the first time it marks and skips it, in the hopes that the page is ephemeral and will be gone next time around. If it's not gone and the launderer finds it for the second time it schedules it for flushing to disk and skips it again. If it later finds the page for the third time it is hopefully clean by then and can be moved to Cache. Pages that are clean right from the start (that only have been read) will be moved to Cache without further ado, whenever (Cache+Free) falls below its lower hysteresis level. That is, the move will be in chunks. And yes, I agree that it's a little complicated. ;-) If I see ANY swapping going on should I worry? I don't think so. Some swapping is normal in UNIX in general. As you note a little bit of swapping is perfectly normal. If you start to see a lot of swapping you probably want more memory. The slow increase in swapped-out pages you see over time even if the system is not short of memory is caused by the laundry procedure I described above, and is perfectly normal. It's kind of a preemptive strategy in order to have enough clean pages available without delay when you need them. Hope to have shed some light on the subject.

startup daemon as unpriviliged user
Hey everyone. Here's a general question for you. I have a FreeBSD 4.8 system that runs fetchmail for me as an unprivileged everyday userid. The problem is that the machine isn't on the most reliable powergrid one could hope for. So when the system comes back up after going down, I ALWAYS forget that I have to get fetchmail restarted. If I forget for too long, there's so much mail it blows the server that receives the mail into oblivion (also FreeBSD 4.8, running Sendmail, Cyrus Imapd, and the main culprit, Spamassassin - spamd). This is so bad that I often have to reboot the receiving system. So, how can I get a process to run automatically on startup for an unprivileged user? Thanks.

FreeBSD 5.2 Router Setup

My laptop can ping the LAN side of the router (192.168.200.1), and it can also ping the WAN side of the router (172.16.20.10).

Use your driver name/number and correct IP/netmask, of course. I've never used it, but I think that #/bin/sh /etc/netstart might be the other way ...

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 l
"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.
