Re: defining knobs in pkgtools.conf question
but I found this in /var/db/pkg/python/options:
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for python-2.3.3_5
_OPTIONS_READ=python-2.3.3_5
WITH_THREADS=true
WITHOUT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE=true
WITH_UCS2=true
WITH_PYMALLOC=true
So I suppose the safest way is to install a port interactively the 1st
time and then import the options file into pkgtools.conf

I think that you only need to match the variables used in the

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.

Proper way to shutdown a USB ethernet adapter?
I'm running i386 5.2-CURRENT and using the axe driver to run a Netgear FA120 USB ethernet adapter. 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Tue May 18 16:11:06 PDT 2004 It works great. I even figured out how to run usbd and modify usbd.conf to run ifconfig automatically to give it an ip address when I plug it in and take away the ip address when I unplug it. When it's up and running, ifconfig shows: axe0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::209:5bff:febd:d01a%axe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.10.100 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255 ether 00:09:5b:bd:d0:1a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX) status: active The problem is that no matter what I try, every time I try to shut down the system, if this device is plugged in, the system will panic with a page fault when init terminates. I get the same panic whenever I run ifconfig axe0 down. This happens regardless of whether I'm running usbd or not. This happens even if I ifconfig axe0 delete to remove the IP address before I shut down. The only way I've found to avoid the panic is to unplug the device before shutdown, and that's difficult to do remotely... Page faults during shutdowns are usually just a simple matter of memory being deallocated in the wrong order. If that's what this is, it may be something I could fix. Any suggestions on how I might trace this down? The panic looks like this: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0xdeadc0e1 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8 : 0xc0487e6e stack pointer = 0x10 : 0xc4888acc frame pointer = 0x10 : 0xc4888ae0 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 1 (init) kernel: type 12 trap, code = 0 stopped at usb_transfer_complete+0xba: movzbl 0x3(%eax),%eax ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wonder ... why do want to run CURRENT on a machine like that? It's the
bleeding edge source code, which is unstable most of the times. You
might want to consider running 4.9 on that machine, which is the
production release. You can try 5.2.1 as well, but it still falls under
the unstable branch.
So in other words, post your error at the CURRENT mailing list, and
switch back to 4.9. I think you will solve many problems with that.

Do you have a testcase? The attached program mallocs 1 million
128-byte blocks, then frees them. With MALLOC_OPTIONS set to jz (i.e.
no filling of freed memory), it takes .184 seconds to free them all.
With it set to J, it takes 1 second.
CPU: Intel Pentium III (909.96-MHz 686-class CPU)
...
I changed your program a little bit to allow freeing the memory in
random order which is closer to what happens when hash tables are
deleted. The test program now allocates NUM pointers to SIZE byte
memory chunks and then frees them. RANDOM 0 means the order in which
the items are freed is the same as the order of allocation, while
RANDOM 1 means that the memory is freed in (somewhat) random order
The data below shows that freeing the memory is the bottleneck.
(MALLOC_OPTIONS JZ, using jz gives essentially the same results perhaps
about 25% faster)
My current guess is that the part copied below of the function
free_bytes in /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c is to blame
where linked lists are traversed to move/delete pages whose
status has changed. At least that would explain the quadratic
behaviour in the output of the test program below.

Script won't run from cron
Since upgrading from 4.5-RELEASE to 4.8-RELEASE (actually rebuilding the system and mounting the old /home directory), I'm having problems with a process which rebuilds a search engine index. Everything runs fine from the command line, but the same script fails when running from cron. The /bin/sh script runs, but when it goes to fire up the indexing process, that process fails. So far I can't figure out what is different about the environment this is running under which should make it behave differently from cron. I've added commands into the shell script which report on the output of set, id and limits. At the command line I've then verified that id and limits give identical values, and I've used 'env' to start the script with the same environment varibales it gets in cron. That proceeds corectly, leaving me with still no idea why the same script doesn't run from cron any more. Any ideas? Andrew McNaughton Please mail me responses directly. -- No added Sugar.

4.{8,9,10} Install ad0 READ command error
I can't install 4.X on a couple of identical new machines. They both exhibit the same problem, and it's consistant, so it's probably not bad hardware, though perhaps weird hardware. Also, 5.2 does install, but these are to be production machines at a remote location so I'd really rather be running something long in the tooth. I've googled and looked at the FBDS mailing lists and here and have found some similar sounding reports, but no fix. I need to make a decision on these machines for next week, and if I can't bring myself to go with 5.X I may have to try linux, so if anyone can come up with a way forward with 4.X in the next day or two it would be a really Good Thing:-). OK, details: The disk is there, visible and will boot (to DOS in one case, to FBSD 5.2 in the other).

Help to start BIND on boot
Hello list, I'm setting up a BIND/DNS server (recursive) and I'm facing a problem when I try to start the named automatically on boot (named_enable=YES in rc.conf): First I noticed that the boot process takes a very long time in the Starting Standard Daemons phase. After boot I have looked to the named messages and apparently it was everything ok i.e.: First message: starting (etc/namedb/named.conf). named 8.3.6-REL . Second message: limit files set to fdlimit (1024) Third message: Ready to answer queries. But the problem is the output of ndc status: (server is initializing itself) and then nothing happen. Starting or restarting the named manually works just fine, the ndc status output is server is up and running and the queries answers are as expected. The result after comment the kern_securelevel=2 and kern_securelevel_enable=YES lines in the rc.conf and reboot was the same as described above. The ROOT SERVERS file was updated and there is a permanent network connection Releases: FreeBSD 4.9 BIND 8.3.6 Can you please help me on this? I'm beginner in FreeBSD.

I wonder if named(8) is blocking trying to read /dev/random to obtain a quantity of random data. If the system does not have sufficient suitable random data available, it will wait until it has acquired enough before replying. Sources of randomness are things like timing the gaps between key presses or between the arrival of network packets -- either of which may not be very effective around reboot time. Check your setting for 'rand_irqs' in /etc/rc.conf -- you need to set it to a list of IRQs that fire quite frequently and that have timings that can be used to harvest randomness from. To get a list of suitable IRQs use: % vmstat -i So for instance on my system that returns: interrupt total rate acpi0 irq9 1 0 pcm0 irq10 39644 0 mux irq1112139824 77 mux irq15 854820 5 atkbd0 irq1 49505 0 psm0 irq12 389549 2 sio1 irq3 81928 0 clk irq0157097139 1000 rtc irq8 20105805128 Total 190758215 1214 Choose the IRQs that fire most often, but not the clk (clock) or rtc (real time clock) IRQs -- as those fire at regular intervals. In this case good choices are irq1 (atkbd -- the keyboard), irq11 and irq15 (mux -- the TCP multiplexor (ie network traffic)), irq12 (psm -- the mouse).

Chipset compatibility issues and FreeBSD
Hi there I'm about to make a decision on which motherboard to buy to run FreeBSD 4.9 in a production environment, and I'm getting a little confused over compatibility issues with the available chipsets and this version of FreeBSD. The chipsets in question are: Intel 865G, 865PG, 865PE. I did some searching on the mailing lists earlier and found a couple of posts detailing problems between the 865G chipset and FreeBSD 5.1. I am working on the assumption that the motherboard manufacturer isn't too important, but I am expecting to buy from Gigabyte as they've worked fine in the past. Can anyone shed any light on whether these chipsets will work with FreeBSD 4.9?

Re: 4.{8,9,10} Install ad0 READ command error
The motherboard is an ASRock KS41 Chipset:SIS 741 + SIS 963L Athalon 2400+ HDD model and firmware version would be useful.

As a matter of interest, I have had a very similar problem on a mini-PC which I had put down to a hardware fault, but maybe there is a new(ish) motherboard chipset out there which 4.X can't cope with but 5.X can? If it is of any relevance/use, 4.5-RELEASE does manage to boot as far as the installer, and locks up on Probing Devices. The only symptom under 5.2 is the disk geometry warning at the start of partitioning which I have recieded in more or less every FBSD installation for the past couple of years. Someone really should rewrite that, since it seems impossible not to get it, and doesn't actually seem to indicate a problem. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _O_ | ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking to build server, best option for reliable FreeBSD supported hardware (SCSI RAID5)?
Hi all, I've been asked to spec out a server designed to pull and store off-site backups from ~60 sites (primary function). The intention is to run FreeBSD on it, although at this point in time we're still deciding whether or not to run -stable (4.x) or -current (5.x) on it; I have a feeling that we may end up having to go with 5.x for driver support. We're looking at probably 4x146gb SCSI drives in RAID5, and I want to make sure we have hardware that's known to work under FreeBSD before we go placing an order. What vendors/equipment are people currently running reliably under FreeBSD (either 4.x or 5.x)? Any recommendations? Thanks!

I'm running i386 5.2-CURRENT and using the axe driver to run a Netgear FA120 USB ethernet adapter. 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Tue May 18 16:11:06 PDT 2004 The problem is that no matter what I try, every time I try to shut down the system, if this device is plugged in, the system will panic with a page fault when init terminates. Sorry, I can't answer your question. Just another question to you: is your USB chipset on the motherboard a VIA 83C572 ? The motherboard is a decrepit old American Megatrends Titan 3 PCI EISA Pentium motherboard from the mid-90s that doesn't have native USB support. I'm using a Belkin F5U219 PCI card to give me USB 2.0 support. I've got a USB mouse and a USB storage device, but I haven't gotten around to setting those up yet. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BUT then if you query my NS there is no A record for the xname NS. So I was told that they were Not Glued but if you query ns0.xname.org there are A records for ns0.xname.org and ns1.xname.org. How can I create A records for the 2 DNS servers that are my secondaries from another domain? If I just leave it, then any DNS test I run shows that my DNS servers do not contain the same zone information. Because the NS0 secondary has A records for NS0 but NS1 does not.. :-( ns0.xname.org and ns1.xname.org shouldn't have entries in the zone file for mydomain.com, because (clearly) they belong to a completely different domain. Because it's a different domain then it's not your problem(TM). Presumably there is a nameserver for xname.org somewhere containing the correct data for that zone, and your name server will very quickly retrieve and cache those RRs once you start it up -- it has to, in order to send NOTIFY messages to all of the servers for the domain. If the xname.org zone doesn't have good A records for those domains, then you need to ask yourself if those xname.org people are really competent to provide a 2ary DNS service for you. The 'Glue' thing is different -- that's to do with the delegation of the 'mydomain.com' zone to your servers by the servers for the .com domain. When you registered the domain, you had to give a list of authoritative nameservers for the domain: those are entered into the .com zone file, along with what are called 'glue' records -- the server for .com has to contain a record of the IP numbers all authoritative DNS servers whose name ends in .com -- so called 'Glue' records. Note that the list of server IP numbers registered with the gTLD server doesn't have to match up precisely with your list of servers -- you can have extras listed in your zone, or even not register the primary, only the two or three secondaries. The advantage of which is that it's only the registered servers that get asked for RR data by third party resolvers.

Installation Problem with SCSI Adapter and 4.9
I got an old machine from a garage sale a couple months ago and have been unable to install any operating system on it. Mainly with errors like isolinux: spec packet failed to locate cd rom device. And with FreeBSD 5.1 i got: Building the boot loader arguments: Read Error: 0x01 Could not find Primary Volume Descriptor Someone on IRC pointed me to a release not for 5.1 about how older SCSI CD-Rom Drives will not work anymore with 5.1 on installs. He also told me that 4.9 might work then. So I downloaded 4.9 and put it in. It booted to the installer unlike pretty much every operating system i've tried. During the installation once i got the the partitioning and anything related to the hard drive i would get an error saying there was no disk detected. The Hard Drive and CD-Rom Drive are both detected on the POST, however. I've been able to pull out a lot of information on whats going on. Its an Adaptec AHA 2940 W Ultra/Ultra Bios 1.23 SCSI Controller with a Seagate hard drive and a Plextor CD-Rom Drive. The machine is a pentium pro 200mhz with a 3com nic and a Matrox vga card. It only has 1 IDE interface on the motherboard which is missing pins so i have no floppy drive on it. Hard Drive(Lun:0) - - - SCSI Controller(Lun-7 - - - Plextor CD-Rom Drive(Lun:3). They are both on different cables. I've verified that both cables work. The Controller does talk to the hard drive also. You can manually format it in the SCSI Controllers bios. So Far i've tried changing the termination from automatic to every option. Turned off bios translation. Turned off Lun Support. Modified the kernel config file to make sure the settings were accurate. Also in tty2 at the end there were a few interesting messages. (da0:ahc): MEDIUM ERROR asc:31,0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa0 to sl10 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa1 to sl10 DEBUG: Unable to open disk cd0 DEBUG: Unable to open disk da0 So i launched a emegency shell in tty4 and did camcontrol devlist. It showed the CD-Rom Drive and the Hard Drive. No SCSI Controller though if one was suppost to be present. It was after this we turned off DOS Translation and Lun Support. Still no go. If someone can help please do. I've spent so much time on this and i can't think of anything else that might work. - Matt Smith _ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!

In my experience, big, complex wms like Gnome and KDE tend to have trouble off and on. I've found that deleting everything from /tmp will sometimes fix things. Other times, I've been able to get things going again by deleting the .gnome (and other, similar directories) from my home directory. Note that this second one blows away all your Gnome settings.

I think you will solve many problems with that. Cheers, Jorn Glad you pointed that out; I intended to be running release, as someone on irc stated that 5.2.1 did not have a stable branch as of yet I assumed that running release would be OK. I think it got converted to CURRENT when I did a cvsup to make everything up to date. By specifying '*default release-cvs tag-.' would that default to current? Thanks, I appreciate the advice, Nick I believe it's set to 4.9 by default, but I'm not sure. Anyway, you shouldn't do a downgrade with sources. 4.9 is very different when comparing it with 5.2.1. Perhaps it's possible, but I wouldn't put too high hopes in that. You should just download the 4.9 CD and reinstall your machine completely to make sure your machine will be running smoothly.

Printing with CUPS and gimp-print-cups: anyone with same errors?
Hello, on my machine (config as in Subject:) printing with CUPS caused the command rastertoprinter to eat up 100% of CPU after finishing all the pages from a given task. I've found the possible bug and posted it, with a fix, on CUPS site: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L723+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Qfreebsd Has any of you experienced similar problems? I'm interested in your comments, because I'm still not exactly clear on where the bug is exactly located: * the place I've pointed in bugreport * somewhere earlier (eg. when the socked mentioned in bugreport is being set up and it is set up in a wrong way) * not related with CUPS (FreeBSD fault?

Network printing question: apsfilter + samba over Win2k network
Greetings: My server is: FreeBSD 4.9 stable and is acting as a file and (hopefully) print server for 6 local Windows 2000 workstations. Samba 2.28 is installed and serving file shares properly. Now for printer sharing... The printer is an HP 4M laserjet, and I installed apsfilter (via ports) Apsfilter SETUP came up and took me through the process of installing the printer. First I installed the HP [lp] first using auto as the default printing method. The HP's test page printed fine Next I installed the HP [aps1]using raw as print method. I wanted to use the HP as a print server so I just want the server to pass the print job to the Win2K client (is this right?). I want Win2k to handle the print job. Note: I have a Redhat-9 print server that works and it uses a CUPS + SAMBA combination. I'm using Apsfilter for FreeBSD, so I shouldn't need CUPS right? Anyway, for aps1 (raw printer), I set-up a samba printer share, here is that portion of the smb.conf: [hp4m] printable = yes comment = hp4m printer = aps1 lprm command = lprm -P%p %j print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p path = /var/spool/lpd/aps1 public = yes writeable = yes use client driver = yes PROBLEM: I'm able to see the printer from the Win2k client accoss the network, Windows 2k prompts for a driver and I load the driver. Windows reports that the printer is ready, however when I try to print a test page, nothing happens. This is my first foray into network printing with FreeBSD, and I'm still learning may way around this OS. So any pointers or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michael Chinn For reference, here is the /etc/printcap file: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL lp|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this # APS2_BEGIN:printer2 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer2 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL aps1|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=raw:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/aps1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sf:\ :sh: # APS2_END - don't delete this From the smb.conf: [hp4m] printable = yes comment = hp4m printer = aps1 lprm command = lprm -P%p %j print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p path = /var/spool/lpd/aps1 public = yes writeable = yes use client driver = yes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can I test a 40G drive?? gary Well, any program checking every single block on a 40GB drive would definitely take a long time to complete. I was more suggesting that a hardware problem might be causing the lockup, exclusive of the hardrive. I have seen a bad video card cause X to completely crash a system while X is intitializing.

Problems with qmail and connecting to smtp daemon and problem with my virtual domain.
Hi, list(ners) Problem nr 1. I have read the following guide to install qmail: http://www.stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/cat_qmailhowto.php I have not installed from source by my self, I found that all programs where avalible thru ports. I will make this as sort as possible, I set up vpopmail with domain setiathome.birch.se. The domain is birch.se, fqdn is setiathome.birch.se for the host. I didn't how ever install everything. I didn't install ezmlm-idx and auotrespond, but its not vital for the operation of the mail-server at this time. I had this problem, that i couldn't send message to the FreeBSD mailinglists, but I solved it by adding my ISP outgoing smtpserver to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Perhaps it hade something to do with reversed DNS. Here are my directory listing from /var/qmail/control/: defaultdomain plusdomain smtproutes locals rcpthosts virtualdomains locals.lock rcpthosts.lock virtualdomains.lock me servercert.pem In the file defaultdomain and plusdomain are the string entry birch.se. In the me file there are the hostname of the mail server. And finaly in the virtualdomains file are the string: setiathome.birch.se:setiathome.birch.se My problems is that I can connect to port 25. The problem is that nothing happens, look below: thrawn/usr/home/thrawn/tmp% telnet setiathome.birch.se 25 Trying 192.168.10.10... Connected to setiathome.birch.se. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. thrawn/usr/home/thrawn/tmp% I don't even press a button before Im in the console again. I run the sockstat command on my server and I get the following output: setiathome/var/qmail/control# sockstat | grep :25 qmaild tcpserve 666453 tcp4 *:25 *:* setiathome/var/qmail/control# And the output of netstat -nl -f inet -p tcp | grep 25 does not show anything how ever. How ever, in the first chapter of the guide. It says the following at 1.6 courier-imap Hack : Because the SMTP after IMAP4(s)/POP3(s) of courier-imap does not work, here is a small wrapper. This hack tracks the IP of the authenticating user and allows for SMTP sending (i.e. a form of authenticated SMTP relay). Perhaps that have something to do with that it doesn't work. Problem nr 2. The other problem is that I have a user named thrawn that is a local user on the system. The home directory of the user is /usr/home/thrawn. And the the Maildir diretory is /usr/home/thrawn/Maildir. When I connect to my mail via imapd-ssl, It uses the local user Maildir. But I have a domain for vpopmail at the following directory /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/setiathome.birch.se And there I also have a user named thrawn and with the same password as the local thrawn account. If I understand it correctly for some reason courier-imap doesn't use my virtual domain, but it does use the local user. Im sure that it might be me that I have done something wrong or the documentation is not completly correct. Perhaps I should use another domain name and se if it works then, I haven't tested that yet. I think that it should work anyway, but I might be wrong. I hope that this information is of some use and I haven't forgotten to mutch information.

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

Windows reports that the printer is ready, however when I try to print a test page, nothing happens. Do the logs in /var/log/ say anything useful? Mike, Hmm... the /var/log/log.smbd had several of these entries: [2004/05/21 14:04:19, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printer_fn(107) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused So I added this rule to IPFW (for Cups): ipfw add allow tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me 515 And I re-started cups: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start So now (it doesn't complain): [2004/05/21 17:05:40, 0] smbd/server.c:main(791) smbd version 2.2.8a started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2002 I also check the lpd-errs log but couldn't find anything. I've also re-read the apsfilter manual but it really doesn't cover in a detail how to configure to a Windows client network.
