graphics files not printing correctly
I've followed the directions in the handbook for setting up lpd and also installed apsfilter via ports and ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP. In general printing is working. For example, a text document from OOo prints just fine. However, when I attempt to print a jpeg file the result is what I can best describe as a blurry negative image. That's not terribly accurate. It's more like it's been converted to only a handful of colors and possibly some colors dropped altogether. I've tried both the native gs driver and the gimp-print stp driver with the same results. Test pages printed from within the apsfilter setup look great. The problem does not seem to be limited to jpegs in particular. A pdf from a few days ago was also blurred/color reduced/altered. Images printed directly from firefox a week or so ago show the same symptoms. Whether those were jpeg, gif, png, or something else, I'm not certain. I've ruled out any network issues by copying a few jpeg files over to the server and printing them locally. I've also converted a few from jpeg to ps and back again to rule out imagemagick. I'm confident that the printer itself is in good order based on the good test pages and it having worked well on a WinXP just prior to having been moved over the the FreeBSD box. I no longer have any Windows machines around to check that it still works on them. :-D Any tips will be much appreciated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Postfix possibly ignoring myhostname and mydomainname?
Hi, I want postfix to send email from a domain name different to the one that it really is. This is because I have no real (as in on the net) domain associated with it, so I am going to use my website address so that the from field resolves and relays are happy to pass on my mail. I have: set myhostname to: hitbox.arameus.net set mydomainname to: arameus.net and added this line: masquerade_domains=hitbox.arameus.net So my theory is that postfix will send from [EMAIL PROTECTED] then restarted postfix. (postfix reload). A quick 'postconf -d | grep my' reveals that postfix is infact ignoring completely the value I have given it! why so? Sorry if this is a really obvoius mistake, but I am new to mail server administration, and I have checked the documentation and FreeBSD mailinglist without luck. Someone has suggested relaying between these two domains, so I added relay_domains = arameus.net Still no luck Im afraid.

Boot laoder display ans comma problem (FreeBSD 5.1)
Hello, I am a newbie about FreeBSD but I like this gorgeous OS, elegant and powerful. But FreeBSD is again mysterious for me. I have two problems. First problem : I have two partitions on my hard disk (Western Digital 20GB) with FreeBSD 5.1 and Windows Server 2003. At present time my Boot loader displays : F1 FreeBSD F2 ?? Default : F1 (F2 corresponds to Windows Server 2003). But I would like to replace ?? by Windows Server 2003. How to do this ? Is there a specific file for this ? Can I modify /boot/loader.conf, /boot/loader.conf.local or /boot/defaults/loader.conf ? Is there a modification of a specific file ? I would like to solve this problem unaesthetic and ugly. No response for the moment at : http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=postid=122593#post122593 Thanks for the informations on this subject. Other problem : On my system I have to add a comma after the last username to allow normal user to shutdown PC. vi /etc/group operator:*:5:root,username1,username2,username3, I don't understand the reason of the comma after the last name (for example : username3). On the other hand I understand perfectly the reason of the comma between two usernames. If the comma is missing (after username3) I can't do a shutdown -r now or shutdown -h now or shutdown -p now With the comma after the last username, I can do a shutdown -... now No response for the moment at : http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=threadid=22053 Thank you very much for your precious help.

WEB BASED EMAIL TRACKING
Hello, I am in search for a application that I can use on my freebsd machine to read a mail spool and track email's that are sent in from customers. I would like to be able to track what employee has replied to how many email's. It would also be of great help if the application had the ability to lock any email messages that are currently being worked on until unlocked by the person reading it or a system admin. At one place I had worked in the past they had pearl programmers in house and spent some time on a system that would allow users (Employees) to log into a web based application. Each user would be able to see the same messages. ( Simular to a webmail client however each users has their own login) This system would allow each user to reply to the customers with a department signature and their name at the bottom. This way the customer hits reply and it goes to the department not the employees mailbox. Also allowing the next employee to review what was asked and the response that the previous co worker gave.

The MBR that comes with FreeBSD has only a small number of OSen it has names for. That is to keep the code very small so it fits within a standard sector. So, it cannot (in any currently available version) be made to put out a different label for the MS bootable slice. It can boot all of them beause that portion of the boot process is standardized pretty well. It just doesn't waste table space on more than just FreeBSD, MD-Dos and a couple more. But there are some other MBRs available such as Grub and Gag that do not limit themselves so tightly and can be made to display a wider range of OS identifiers.Grub and Gag seem to be the best known.

netstat output - diff between 'link' and 'inet' counters
I delved into trying to determine the cause of an unreasonably high number of Ierrs on a few FreeBSD routers we have setup on campus. While probing through the netstat output on the machines I realized that I don't understand the exact difference between the 'inet' and 'link' protocol families. Now, I understand the difference between IP and ethernet, but the byte and packet counts for 'inet' and 'link' don't seem to match what I would expect for those protocols, respectively. This tells me that the numbers being logged must differ from my expectations. Generally I notice that the 'inet' counts for an interface are a relatively small fraction of that for the 'link' counts for the same interface. However, on our main FreeBSD router that provides NAT and access to the internet the numbers are somewhat reversed, with 'inet' counts being much higher than the 'link' counts. Is there someone who can explain to me exactly what packet and byte counts actually represent for the 'inet' and 'link' families?

Parallel Printer
Thank you for reading this message. I have installed FreeBSD 4.10r2 and am having trouble with the printer setup. This is on and OLD Gateway P5-100, 128mb ram (yah-100Mhz!). It is a direct connect to the parallel port. My main source document is the FreeBSD Handbook, 2nd ed. and the online Handbook @ FreeBSD.org. I have the necc. files as directed by Chapter 11, but am still having problems. (/etc/printcap, /dev/lpt0, etc). When I test with #lptest /dev/lpt0, I get nothing. My initial install selection was for parallel printing. And checking rc.conf shows lpd=YES. When I #grep ppc0 /var/run/dmesg.boot I get the message, can not reserve input output range. When I#dmesg | grep lpt0 I get the message, lpt0 not configured. Here is where the problems begin. Thinking maybe the printer or cable might be the problem, I pulled the BSD hard drive, reinstalled the win95 hard drive, tested the printer and it worked fine! Reinstall the BSD drive and boot, no printer! IRQ 7 the same. To this, I suspect the KERNEL, yet all matches the examples with one exception. In the KERNEL file under #Parallel Port, the printer is listed at ppc0 and not lpt0. Have I misinterpreted something? Are they the same, should all ref to lpt0 be ppc0? Otherwise, BSD is working fine! If anyone could direct me to another resource, or drop a hint, it sure would be appreciated.

Re: Parallel Printer
The problem most likely has little to do with your computer or cables. Setting up printers on Unix can be a pain. I recommend using the apsfilter or cups port instead of trying to set it up manually. I've used both and have had success with both, but settled upon apsfilter (for no particular reason) although my printer accepts PostScript by default. You'll need to give the group detailed information about your printer instead of the CPU in order to get help related to this issue.

That includes many packets for some unused addesses out of my netblock[*] and also packets to the broadcast address 81.2.69.219 The other three entries are for the specific addresses assigned to that interface -- I have the principal IP number on the interface as 81.2.69.218, and a jail using 81.2.69.219, plus the automatically assigned IPv6 link-local address. (IPv6 traffic mostly goes via a gif(4) tunnel which acts like a different interface.

port installation problems progress
I had been having some problems installing ports: they manifested as
configure misreading the system type and setting up libtool so it
wouldn't build shared libs.
After some correspondence with a FreeBSD team member and a port
maintainer, I decided to start afresh with a kernel and world
reinstall. This led me to the solution. The email excerpted below
mentioned almost the same error I was seeing:
http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg04153.html
For the last week or so, I've been having trouble building kernels
against a
RELENG_4 source tree. A 'make buildkernel' from /usr/src fails as
follows:
perl5 /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl -h /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.src
syntax error at /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl line 135, near {}
Execution of /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl aborted due to compilation
errors.
I took the advice suggested below.
http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg04174.html
I believe I have these resolved.
If anybody's interested, it took a reboot, buildworld followed by an
install
from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl, then buildkernel went fine. At Mike
Tansca's suggestion, I'd tried a buildworld (against a fresh source
tree),
and I was getting cc errors - the reboot appears to have fixed those.
My
build machine is now happily running a new kernel/world.
Some packages are building OK but I still see issues on some ports.
Any ideas how this might have gotten into this state and how I can
resolve it completely?

Now, I understand the difference between IP and ethernet, but the byte and packet counts for 'inet' and 'link' don't seem to match what I would expect for those protocols, respectively. This tells me that the numbers being logged must differ from my expectations. Generally I notice that the 'inet' counts for an interface are a relatively small fraction of that for the 'link' counts for the same interface. However, on our main FreeBSD router that provides NAT and access to the internet the numbers are somewhat reversed, with 'inet' counts being much higher than the 'link' counts. Is there someone who can explain to me exactly what packet and byte counts actually represent for the 'inet' and 'link' families?

Re: graphics files not printing correctly
Jason Taylor wrote: I've followed the directions in the handbook for setting up lpd and also installed apsfilter via ports and ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP. In general printing is working. For example, a text document from OOo prints just fine. However, when I attempt to print a jpeg file the result is what I can best describe as a blurry negative image. That's not terribly accurate. It's more like it's been converted to only a handful of colors and possibly some colors dropped altogether. I've tried both the native gs driver and the gimp-print stp driver with the same results. Test pages printed from within the apsfilter setup look great. The problem does not seem to be limited to jpegs in particular. A pdf from a few days ago was also blurred/color reduced/altered. Images printed directly from firefox a week or so ago show the same symptoms. Whether those were jpeg, gif, png, or something else, I'm not certain. I've ruled out any network issues by copying a few jpeg files over to the server and printing them locally. I've also converted a few from jpeg to ps and back again to rule out imagemagick. I'm confident that the printer itself is in good order based on the good test pages and it having worked well on a WinXP just prior to having been moved over the the FreeBSD box. I no longer have any Windows machines around to check that it still works on them. :-D Any tips will be much appreciated. I'm happy to report that the problem is resolved. I can't really say I figured it out. I didn't do anything differently than yesterday. I looked through the apsfilter SETUP script to see what it does to print a test page, replicated it manually, substituting my own jpg converted to ps. That worked! So I ran through the SETUP script again allowing it to overwrite everything that had been there and now it just works. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(You don't mention which version of FreeBSD you're using, but FreeBSD 5 has a spiffy menu here where you can just select a menu item for single-user mode) At the prompt, enter boot -s to boot into single- user mode.

Can you help me get back on track? Doug Lawrence You're hitting up against a major difference in the design mentality of FreeBSD compared to just about any other software out there. FreeBSD is developed primarily as a server operating system for people knowledgable about Unix. That's not to say that it won't work as a desktop operating system for the average Joe ... my mother is completely computer illiterate and she uses FreeBSD on her computer ... she didn't install it, though. This isn't because the FreeBSD folks don't care about the average Joe who wants FreeBSD on his/her desktop, it's because the _volunteers_ who develop FreeBSD are simply more interested in making the most technically advanced multi-user operating system available, and that takes a lot of work, but they only have so many hours in a day. Once you've got FreeBSD installed and configured, I'm sure you'll find it just as easy to use as Redhat ... getting to that point takes a bit more work. As I'm sure you've already noticed, Redhat has an option to configure it for workstation use, while FreeBSD has no such install option. This means that you'll have to _manually_ tweak the configuration for workstation use, after doing a generic install. The bad news is that this is a bit of work to get done. The good news is that you'll learn a lot in the process, and there is plenty of documentation to help you out. Based on the subject of your email, I'm guessing you're getting frustrated by the fact that your FreeBSD installs end up with a text login instead of a graphical login. If you _are_ successfully getting to the point that you have a text login, then congratulations! You've actually succeeded in installing FreeBSD, you simply have to go through the manual process of configuring XFree86 on your machine (RedHat systems, by contrast, have an automatic XFree86 configure program that does this for you) I recommend that you read through this chapter of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html and proceed with setting up XFree86.

Sound Capture/Editing under Freebsd
Went looking all over the internet for this and can't find anything. I'm looking for either a console based or graphically based (preferably the second) sound capture and possibly a sound editing program. What I'm doing is converting all my old audio tapes to MP3 before the tapes die and the only way to do this for me right now is to dust off my old windows box and do it there, which I'd prefer not to do if possible. I'd rather do it under Freebsd if I could. What I'd be doing is taking an audio feed from the tape player to the Line-In jack on the sound card, then capturing the video directly from there. Anyone know of a tool under Freebsd that'll do that? Again, I looked and couldn't find anything. I googled several times too and got nothing. So any pointers or help would be welcome. Thanks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think that you only need to match the variables used in the
Makefile. So the above would be correct, and the following two
should just be omitted:
WITH_UCS2=1
WITH_PYMALLOC=1
Don't forget you'll need to set BATCH as well.
I guess my question is how to decide wheather to use WITH_XXX=1 or
WITHOUT_XXX=0 ?
Set the exact same variables as the Makefile is testing.
does WITH_XXX=0 result in #defined(WITH_XXX) returning false ?
I believe not, as defined() only tests if that name is defined,
not what its value is.

Doug Lawrence [snip] Based on the subject of your email, I'm guessing you're getting frustrated by the fact that your FreeBSD installs end up with a text login instead of a graphical login. If you _are_ successfully getting to the point that you have a text login, then congratulations! You've actually succeeded in installing FreeBSD, you simply have to go through the manual process of configuring XFree86 on your machine (RedHat systems, by contrast, have an automatic XFree86 configure program that does this for you) I recommend that you read through this chapter of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html and proceed with setting up XFree86. If you hit specific problems, don't hesitate to ask for help on this list again. In case it actually is selecting things during the installation procedure that is a problem, here are tips and a general recommendation. Tips: Often it's the space bar that selects or deselects a choice, and there is also a key to step back in the installation (escape, maybe? can't remember for sure). You may also need to tab or use the arrow keys in order to highlight selections before choosing them. General recommendation: The Handbook's installation guide is excellent - print it out and have it with you when you install.

Perl and Linux Compatibility
Hello, I am trying to use a Perl Module which depends upon a shared library. This shared library is compiled for Linux. The the linux_base-7.1_7 port contains the dependencies for this library. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have Perl 5.8 (built for FreeBSD 4.9) run a Perl Module with this kind of dependency? If not, what's the best way around this problem?

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING because there is a section on updating perl. You also need to update automake* because some of them create a link to the current perl as the first line, If you are running 4.x, the install tells you to run use.perl port and that is all you need to do to use the new perl.

Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] replies: This means that your drive decided not to return a command back to the controller. The controller driver was able to clear up the error by resetting the device (BDR = Bus Device Reset). The failure could indicate a drive firmware bug or that the drive is failing. I have seen similar messages that were traced to SCSI cabling problems. At the higher SCSI speeds, the electrical signal just barely has time to settle before a new signal is introduced (this is _GREATLY_ simplifying the problem; the science to study is Transmission Line Theory) and the only reason it works is that the `terminators' absorb energy and keep it from reflecting back into the line and the cabling rules (on where connectors may be placed) prevent reflections from occurring where they can cause problems. The whole thing is sensitive to poor connections, connections placed too close together, sharp bends in the cable, cables laced together face-to-face, etc. And the problems can be intermittent, or only show up under extreme load. If you haven't, make sure that the connectors are properly seated, the correct termination is installed/set, etc., and that the cable is not folded on itself or clamped face-to-face with another flat cable. And, of course, make sure that all the device IDs are set correctly. Mark Terribile __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
