Yes, this seems to work.  Notice that this won't help OpenBSD people, as
they are the only ones who do not have the p (for portable) in their
OpenSSH version number.  You'd still know they are running OpenBSD. :-)

SV: Error when installing apr-svn from ports collection

2004-09-09 Thread Carsten Gehling

 -Oprindelig meddelelse-
 Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Sendt: 8. september 2004 01:20

 Can you make clean everything and install apr-svn alone? Also, which
 version(s) of libtool do you have installed?

You mail helped in a way. :-)

I tried to make clean all, which did not mak eany difference. Then I checked
the version of libtool. As it happens, there were two different versions
installed: 1.3.5 and 1.5.8. I deinstalled them both in the hope, that my
later build of apr-svn would choose the correct one to reinstall.

It chose 1.5.8, which turned out to be a wise choice. :-)

Thank you very much.

HELP -- install FreeBSD 5.2 with Minimal Installation completed .....

Hello
Installation of freebsd5.2 with minimal installation (
fast install )complete . After reboot the machine for the
first time and bring os up, OS actually do not work. it
boot with all kind of funny characters and the screen keep
rolling forever.
my system is cyrix MII 686.-300MHZ. 30G MAXTOR -drive. It
was working with windows and FreeBSD4.6. After trying 5.2.
with using DDmode to install  unsuccessfully. I had
follow the advice to run dos fdisk and format (fat-32) the
drive; but now the drive seem only work with dos not
windows and other OS... The funny thing it always fail
during copying files to mount partittion...
failed on ffs_cluster ...for freebsd and for openbsd it
has problems with /mnt/usr during installation. With
windows 2000/xp it has problems after completely copy
files to harddrive and when system reboot it hung with
hardware errror or blah. blah...
My guessing it is must be wrong with bios on this drive..
but i dont know how... I have already lowlevel format the
drive successfully. .. I need help on this.. Is anyone has
any ideas how to fix it? I'm greatly appreciated.

Yes, that's the whole point of NOPROFILE. Unless you are a developer
yourself and want to optimize some code, there's little reason to keep
those profiling libs around (or spend time building them).

 I also understand these libraries are seperate from my regular
 libraries?  So, is there a drawback (other than increased compile time
 for a make world) in building them?  Or does it not matter?  

The libraries contain the same code as the regular (non-profiling)
libraries, with a small addition within every function, to count the
number of times a function is called and to measure the time.

Linking normal apps against profiled libraries naturally slows them
down (at run time), because the measuring code must be executed every
time a library function is called. Therefore, normal applications are
not linked against profiling libraries, and you can safely remove
those libs from your system.

It doesn't harm though to build them anyway, just in case you
change your mind. Even on slow systems, building profiled libraries
doesn't take that much longer. At the end of the day, it's your call.

RE: HELP -- install FreeBSD 5.2 with Minimal Installation completed.....

2004-09-09 Thread JJB

Sounds like you have bad hard drive. This is typical side effect
problem caused by the PCs power supply going bad and not providing
enough power to HD to keep disks spinning at correct speed. At low
speeds heads rub on recording media destroying it. Try installing on
different pc with different HD.

On the other hand low-level format is a thing of the past. All
multi-gig HD come pre formatted without any low-level format
software provided. What ever you think you did running a old fashion
low-level format may have really just screwed up you HD beyond
repair. Replace it and try installing ms/windows again to verify you
have working hardware, them install FBSD on the HD with out using dd
option.

About the capacity size can over 2TB question

2004-09-09 Thread Rory

Dear Sir,

 

We are the RAID architects company; I have one question about the FreeBSD
capacity. According to the page as below from your web site, it said that
the FreeBSD version V5.1 alpha has already support over 2TB. But now, I have
2 questions. First, does this version of x86 FreeBSD has supported over 2TB
as well? Second, Do I need to do any setup to let my FreeBSD can get more
than over 2TB? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Sincerely yours,

Rory Juan

Mounting ext3 filesystem from USB keydrive

Is my inability to mount caused by this (needs journal recovery) or is there 
something else going on? I did cleanly shut down the Linux box where this 
partition was written, before removing the USB device.

Packet filter statistics

2004-09-09 Thread Steve Bertrand

Please bear with me...

I've got a Windows 2000 web server that is spewing out over 2Mbps of
data which is going out round robin over my 3 T-1 connections.
Although there is still more throughput available, this is seemingly
rediculous.

I've got a fortigate box in front of the server now, but the details
it gives aren't quite what I need. What I'd like to have is a FBSD
filter (transparent bridge) setup in front of the box, with software
that can chart for me what type of packets are being sent/rec'd
to/from this box, as well as each packets frequency and size. Any
graph would do.

I believe this is legit HTTP traffic, but I can't identify packet size
(or the size of a single entire HTTP session etc). Seeing this in
graphical form would help me immensely.

Anyone familiar with available software that I could dump on my filter
box that can potentially do something similar like I am looking for?

I was contemplating on asking this on -ipfw, however technically it's
not a direct IPFW question.

Tks everyone for any suggestions.

At this point, unless you have some critical application that needs the 
proven stability of 4.x, I don't see a good reason for a new user to 
start there. Given that you want it for learning, I would say the 
choice is between 5.2.1  and waiting for 5.3 (which will be a full 
production release) in a few weeks. 

If you plan to use FreeBSD as your main desktop OS you might want to 
wait for 5.3, otherwise the upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3 shouldn't be too 
hard, and it's part of the learning process.

 You need to install sox:

Seems overly complicated (but, hey, if it works, great).

This works, too.

lame --decode track1.mp3 track1.wav

Do that for every track you want to burn to a CD. You'll end up with a .wav
file for each track. Then (assuming you're using an ATAPI CD-RW), burn the
CD like this:

burncd -s speed -f /dev/acd0c audio *.wav fixate

I've used this approach several times to create normal CDs from MP3s.

lame is in the ports collection: /usr/ports/audio/lame

You may want to check out Ethereal (free packet sniffer) 
www.ethereal.com. I have used this successfully on FreeBSD. Also, 
FreeBSD has a program called tcpdump that will show packets without the 
added bells and whistles of Ethereal. One note: if you are using level 2 
or higher switches, the sniffer will not pickup all the traffic coming 
out of your Win2k box unless you configure a management port on your 
switch or use a hub with both the sniffer box and the server connected 
to it.

Alternatively, you may be able to run Ethereal on you Win2k box
Hope this helps.

Re: Installation without PS/2 Keyboard

2004-09-09 Thread David Aquilina

So nobody has ever had this situation, ever? I find that hard to
believe. It's been said that sometimes the best way to get support is
to exclaim that $FOO can do this but $BAR can't, $BAR sucks! at
which point you will have people tripping over each other to offer
help, however that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I'll ask again: 

- How does one prevent FreeBSD from using a keyboard which doesn't
really exist? I've tried what seems like sensible hints. variables
before booting, but it seems to ignore them.

- Failing the above, how does one use a serial console for
installation? The method provided in the freebsd handbook can't be
used as the machine is question doesn't have a floppy drive.

 You may want to check out Ethereal (free packet sniffer)
 www.ethereal.com. I have used this successfully on FreeBSD. Also,
 FreeBSD has a program called tcpdump that will show packets without
 the
 added bells and whistles of Ethereal. One note: if you are using level
 2
 or higher switches, the sniffer will not pickup all the traffic coming
 out of your Win2k box unless you configure a management port on your
 switch or use a hub with both the sniffer box and the server connected
 to it.

 Alternatively, you may be able to run Ethereal on you Win2k box

 Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info...I use ethereal as well as tcpdump quite
frequently, but I need something a little different here.

I don't need to worry about ``sniffing'' as it's normally used,
because the FBSD box will be put right in-line between the affected
box and the core network switch, so ALL packets will travel right
through the box so I can manipulate every single packet as required.

It was suggested (off list unfortuneatly) to check out bandwidthd and
ipaudit.

I'm going to give bandwidthd a try, as it looks very close to what I
want.

Tks,

STeve

 Subject: PS/2 mouse problem via kvm switch

 Hi,

 I have problem with ps/2 scroll mouse when connecting via Nova View 
 KNV102 kvm switch.   The mouse doesn't work.   It just moved to the 
 top-right of the screen and stuck there.   It has no problem when 

Have you ever thought of contacting Rextron and asking them to
fix this?  Lots of KVM switches work fine with FreeBSD.

I can tell you that Compaq had to release a software update for it's
4110 series KVM switches to correct this problem.  (the 4110 isn't sold
anymore)  Their new KVM's don't do this.  Most other people's KVM
switches don't do this.  Why are you blaming FreeBSD for this problem
when other KVM switch manufacturers have obviously dealt with it.

Maybe you should sell yours on Ebay and buy a different brand.

  All that means is the card does not have proper/complete VESA
  implementation.  IOW, get a card w/ proper/complete VESA
  implementation?

 Aha!  So while it does have a VESA BIOS it's just not complete.
 Presumably the vesa code uses some of the less common features to
 achieve what it does?  In a word, it's doesn't work and it's not going
 to without some really radical changes to the vesa code?  Can you
 confirm/refute this?

VESA was a standard that was important back in the DOS days.  When it
first came out the card vendors all came out with TSR's that would
intercept the VESA calls and either make the equivalent BIOS calls into
the card BIOS or would setup the registers directly.

Later on the card vendors all integrated that into their video card
BIOS roms.

These days in the age of Windows and protected mode OSs, the video card
driver generally does not make calls into video BIOS for most things.

With FreeBSD the VESA stuff is handled by the VESA driver (kldload vesa)
which talks to vga() which I believe handles the ugliness of the bios
calls into the actual video card bios.  Only certain cards have been
tested with this module and this driver.  (you did load the vesa module
before running vidcontrol and specing VESA modes, did you?)

It's quite possible that your video card does have vesa extensions but
because of some difference in their implementation, the calls from
vga() fail, thus the vesa module cannot use it.  Or it's quite possible
that your manufacturer didn't include VESA support at all.

There are some DOS utilities floating around which test for VESA
compatability,
you might try booting your laptop into DOS and running one of those.  If
they
say your laptop supports VESA extensions then perhaps the vga developer
would add support into the driver.

5.x use UFS2 filesystems by default.  To my knowledge, 4.x does not
have any way to access these.  You'll have to reinstlal 5.X to get
at your data.

When installing 5.X, you can use the options in the disk partitioning
section to choose UFS1 filesystems, which can be used by 4.X ... and
even Linux, I believe.

However, you probably know better than I if it measures bytes

 Subject: Re: Tar pitting automated attacks

 I realize this is probably a dumb question (I quietly drop 
 everything incoming unless it's keep-state, and I only 
 allow ssh internally)...

 If you're needing to ssh to your machine from a limited 
 range of IPs, then why not tell your PF to drop incoming 
 unless it's within that range?

Yes, that is how it is usually done.  But the OP's goal was
to tie up the attacker's resources so the attacker cannot go
and bang on other people.

Blocking access to the ssh port to most of the Internet actually
helps the attacker, because the attacker will attempt to open
a connection, and 5 minutes later when the connection open has
still not completed, the attacker will mark off that IP and continue
onto attacking the next person.

So it comes down to what do you want - if you want to clean your
logs and not be attacked, then use port filtering, otherwise
if you want to waste attackers resources, make sure your ssh port
is available, and use good passwords so an attack won't succeed.

tarpitting is equivalent to port filtering from the attackers
point of view - they know how to detect a tar pit and will move
on and not get stuck in it.

You'll probably have to modify you X config file to get this setting
changed permanently.  Depending on whether you are using X.org or
XFree86, there are different tools for this, and the filename may
even be different.  See the documentation for the X system you're

  Dear Sir,
 
  I am a computer engineer and I want to learn the FreeBSD OS,
  and I do not have the FreeBSD software and when I have tried

  two Releases one called  New Technology Release: 5.2.1 
  and the other called  Production Release: 4.10  ,
  I got confused which Release to download ???
 
 At this point, unless you have some critical application that needs the 
 proven stability of 4.x, I don't see a good reason for a new user to 
 start there. Given that you want it for learning, I would say the 
 choice is between 5.2.1  and waiting for 5.3 (which will be a full 
 production release) in a few weeks. 

This is really the opposite of the best official advice that is given.
Unless you have a strong reason for needing 5.xxx, then installing 4.10 
is a good idea.   It is the officially stable production system.   True 
that 5.2.1 is basically quite reliable now, but there is no reason not 
to use the official production release
which is 4.10.   

 If you plan to use FreeBSD as your main desktop OS you might want to 
 wait for 5.3, otherwise the upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3 shouldn't be too 
 hard, and it's part of the learning process.

It would also be part of the learning process to move from 4.10
to 5.3 which would be a little more radical move when it comes.

For all practical purposes, at this point the argument is really
almost moot.   4.10 is official, but 5.3 is expected to be official
only a few days hence.  Both are in good shape, but 4.10 has fewer
radical changes from previous versions (none) than 5.2.1 and so
is considered to be more stable and also less likely to have something
overlooked in it.

You should read up on how the branching works.  There have been a couple
of well written explanations posted in the last few months and they
could easily be found by searching I believe.   Then, you would understand
and can make your own decision better.

That makes sense...  I haven't gotten so much into security 
that I would want to invite a potential cracker.  I would 
just assume they go and bug someone else (who knows, maybe 
it will result in more BSD admins.  :) )

How difficult would it be to have a dummy system setup on 
the LAN where incoming SSH could be transparently routed 
to.  In fact (and even the idea gives me the creeps), how 
difficult would it be to change root to something else, 
and then create a dummy root account.  I mean, if one is 
attempting to get a cracker to waste his time, then why not 
wet his whistle and let him think he's actually getting 
somewhere?

I don't know anything about this kind of thing (I'm just not 
devious enough, I guess).  How should I go about googling 
this to learn more?  Is there a term for it?

no other pipes. Is this sufficient or do I need to setup rules for ext 
and int interfaces ?
Do I also need to specify the entire bandwidth available  via Internet 
connection and other pipes for the remaining hosts or does leaving 
everything else out give the remanining bandwidht to other hosts ?

thank you all
   ${fwcmd} add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.1.2 to any out
${fwcmd} add pipe 2 ip from 192.168.1.2 to any in

Vim on SMB share

2004-09-09 Thread Daren Russell

Hi,
I know this is slightly OT, but it is still using FBSD!
I have a SMB share mounted, and can generally write to it.  I can copy 
files to it, delete them, use 'ee' to edit and save them.

However, when using Vim, I can load and edit without warning, but if I 
try to save it I get E212: Can't open file for writing

I can however create a new file on the share using Vim without problems, 
try to edit it and get the same problem.

Whilst using Gentoo Linux, I did not have an issue with this (but that 
box has destroyed itself, hence the move to a FBSD box)

Is this a known thing with Vim/SMB/FBSD?  Any ideas on something stupid 
I have overlooked?

Thanks
Daren

Can somebody please tell me what this means?

   All that means is the card does not have proper/complete VESA
   implementation.  IOW, get a card w/ proper/complete VESA
   implementation?

  Aha!  So while it does have a VESA BIOS it's just not complete.
  Presumably the vesa code uses some of the less common features to
  achieve what it does?  In a word, it's doesn't work and it's not going
  to without some really radical changes to the vesa code?  Can you
  confirm/refute this?

 VESA was a standard that was important back in the DOS days.  When it
 first came out the card vendors all came out with TSR's that would
 intercept the VESA calls and either make the equivalent BIOS calls into
 the card BIOS or would setup the registers directly.

 Later on the card vendors all integrated that into their video card
 BIOS roms.

 These days in the age of Windows and protected mode OSs, the video card
 driver generally does not make calls into video BIOS for most things.

 With FreeBSD the VESA stuff is handled by the VESA driver (kldload vesa)
 which talks to vga() which I believe handles the ugliness of the bios
 calls into the actual video card bios.  Only certain cards have been
 tested with this module and this driver.  (you did load the vesa module
 before running vidcontrol and specing VESA modes, did you?)

Yeah, I had it compiled into my kernel ;)

 It's quite possible that your video card does have vesa extensions but
 because of some difference in their implementation, the calls from
 vga() fail, thus the vesa module cannot use it.  Or it's quite possible
 that your manufacturer didn't include VESA support at all.

 There are some DOS utilities floating around which test for VESA
 compatability, you might try booting your laptop into DOS and running
 one of those.  If they say your laptop supports VESA extensions then
 perhaps the vga developer would add support into the driver.

Okay, I'll see if I can give that a go... I'll have to figure out how to
netboot DOS now... :/

  Thanks a lot,

Hi,

I recall running into this and other problems when I was using Samba 3.x on a
4.10 FreeBSD server and smbfs on a 5.2.1 FreeBSD client. In frustration, I
updated the server to 5.2.1 and downgraded Samba to 2.x and haven't had
problems since. I'd have a hard time believing that going to 5.2.1 on the
server side fixed the problem. Rather, I suspect that FreeBSD's smbfs has had
little attention lately and doesn't like the changes that have been made to
Samba since 2.x.

Alternatively, some of the recent patches to 5.2.1 may have had some positive
effect on the client's smbfs. Wish I could be more specific on all of this.

Phantom /var full messages

2004-09-09 Thread Paul Schmehl

I'm running snort 2.1.3 and mysql 3.23.58 on FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE.  All 
applications are built from ports.

Periodically I get /var full messages and everything comes to a grinding 
halt.  The problem is, /var isn't full.

df -h will show /var at 104%, but du -h /var shows /var at 40% (for 
example).  If I shut down snort and mysql, wait for a minute and then start 
them back up, df agrees with du again.

The system works fine because only /var is full (although things can get 
squirrelly if I let it go long enough because the system can't write to the 
logs or the mail spool), so I can still ssh in and run utilities.

I suspect this is some sort of filehandle not being released issue, but I'm 
not sure how to track it down.  I've got lsof installed, but I'm not an 
expert on it yet.

Any hints would be welcomed.  What's the best way to troubleshoot this 
problem?

 df -h will show /var at 104%, but du -h /var shows /var at 40% (for

This typically happens because a file has been deleted, but some program
still has it open.  The filesystem can't actually free up the data blocks
until no other programs are using them.  But du doesn't see the usage
because there's no longer a file there to attribute it to.

 If I shut down snort and mysql, wait for a minute and then start 
 them back up, df agrees with du again.

You've already done the first diagnostic step.  You know that either snort
or MySQL is keeping a file handle after a file is deleted.

First, if you could isolate it to just snort or just MySQL.

Typically, folks have this problem because they try to rotate log files
without restarting the program that's logging to them.  The rotate program
compresses the current log file into a new file, then deletes the original
file ... but the program is still logging to it.  Thus the space fills up,
but there is no file to see the space in.  Restarting the program doing
the logging causes the old file to disappear, and a new log file to be
created.

On a guess, Snort would be the first thing I'd look at.  However, MySQL
can create a TON of data if logging is enabled, so you may want to look
closely at it as well.

How difficult would it be to have a dummy system setup on
the LAN where incoming SSH could be transparently routed

Depending on your router, very easy.  Redirect a port on the router to 
point to an inside computer running the service you want redirected.  I 
used to do it all the time with my home linksys system...redirected 
mail to one of the computers inside and web requests to a second 
computer.  From the outside world, they both looked like my NATed 
address facing the Internet.

In fact (and even the idea gives me the creeps), how
difficult would it be to change root to something else,
and then create a dummy root account.
Not hard at all...anyone with the UID of 0 on a UNIX system is root.  
Change the UID and you have a new root...reassign the UID of root and 
it will no longer have superuser privileges.  However, this may break 
some programs or some functionality, and if the hacker had 
intelligence above a cucumber they would be reaching for UID 0, not 
necessarily just root by name.  Wouldn't take them long to realize 
something was wrong if they got root and weren't able to do some 
things or see files that are supposed to be readable by UID 0...

I mean, if one is
attempting to get a cracker to waste his time, then why not
wet his whistle and let him think he's actually getting
somewhere?
I don't know anything about this kind of thing (I'm just not
devious enough, I guess).  How should I go about googling
this to learn more?  Is there a term for it?
Honeypot and Honeynet. :-)
What may work better is a system that is in a DMZ, virtualized within 
something like VMWare (is Virtual PC ever used for something like 
this?).  Honeypots are often run in environments like that for analysis 
and monitoring.  But if you're truly paranoid, this computer would be 
on it's own segment on the other side of it's own firewall...i.e., you 
have your internet connection to your router, then to the network 
containing your honeypot machine and image, and then another 
router/firewall protecting your actual network, and never the twain' 
shall meet (plus monitoring software on your internal *NIX 
systems...like snort...to check for leaks).

At least, that's how I would do it if I had limited resources but 
really wanted to try to lure them in.  Letting ANY experimental, 
unpatched network image run as a honeypot inside your actual network 
where regular email and net traffic flow is a bad idea, and if the 
image is cracked, it is still possible for it to start flooding your 
Internet connection and may result in some overzealous admins 
blacklisting you or blocking off access from your IP, unless you get a 
second IP to the internet and use that entirely as your honeynet.

If you can afford it, just restart every server process that may
be consuming resources. Some programs open(2) a file, then immediately
unlink(2) it from the directory. lsof(1) wouldn't help you there,
because the file is effectively invisible to every other process.

Stopping that process will effectively free all resources, including
the disk blocks belonging to the open file.

Or at least, you may be able to see a big file appear, after you've
restarted the process.

 Any hints would be welcomed.  What's the best way to troubleshoot this 
 problem?

Use lsof and grep to figure out what file handles are still open by

  I have problem with ps/2 scroll mouse when connecting via Nova View

  top-right of the screen and stuck there.
 
 Have you ever thought of contacting Rextron and asking them to
 fix this?  Lots of KVM switches work fine with FreeBSD.
 
 I can tell you that Compaq had to release a software update for it's
 4110 series KVM switches to correct this problem.  (the 4110 isn't sold
 anymore)  Their new KVM's don't do this.  Most other people's KVM
 switches don't do this.  Why are you blaming FreeBSD for this problem
 when other KVM switch manufacturers have obviously dealt with it.
 
 Maybe you should sell yours on Ebay and buy a different brand.

FWIW, I tried several brands of small KVMs and found that many work 
most of the time but occasionally have problems with the rodent, this 
with both Windows NT and FreeBSD.  This occasionally seems to 
correspond to particular workstations more than OSes or mice (though I 
didn't test rigorously), and in this case seemingly identical 
workstations (Dells) differ.  I did not try Nova View.

When I found a brand of KVM that didn't offer this feature of 
occasional flakiness I stuck with it, and now have about 10 IOgear 
KVMs, mostly MiniView SEs of two, four or eight ports.  Note that we're 
a small business and none of these are what you'd call enterprise 
class KVMs, a market where Avocent, Raritan and Minicom are the 
primary players.  We'll be going there soon.

The only issue I've seen that seems to be FreeBSD-related has been that 
some FreeBSD machines seem to like to have the KVMs set to them when 
they boot, though that doesn't seem to be consistent and I've not taken 
the time to pin it down.  After booting they're fine.

cleaner handling of mount point disappearance

2004-09-09 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin

Hey guys,
Assume I have a USB hard drive attached to my machine.
Is there any way to make it so that, in the event the drive is mounted and 
disappears (i.e. is unplugged), the system doesn't vomit on itself (i.e. 
kernel panic?)

I can deal with the fact that data may not be written cleanly to the 
drive, and that the dirty bit will stay set, and I'm contemplating playing 
with automount as well, but it won't help the fact that assuming I cd 
/backupdrive, leave the system sitting there (i.e. no data writes), and 
unplug the drive without a umount, the system will go kerplooey.

Any ideas?

Double-check your newsyslog config, and make sure that HUP actually does
what you think it does (not all programs support the HUP convention).

Keep in mind that it might be other things as well.  Some processes will
open a file and then delete it in order to have anonymous scratch space.
Once you've determined whether it's snort or MySQL, you may have to do
a little more detailed research into that particular program.  As a
possible scenerio, snort might expect to have a lot of disk avaiable for
scratch space, and you may have to use a command-line switch when starting
snort to tell it to use a different partition for it's scratch space.  I'm
no snort expert, though, so I'm just guessing.

Good luck, and post your solution back to the list once you've figured it
out, for the archives.

5.3-beta3 boot manger show stopper problem

2004-09-09 Thread fbsd_user

   MS/Windows98 is first partition with 30% of 10 gig IDE hard
drive. This booted and worked as expected. Downloaded 5.3-beta3
miniinstall.iso using my Freebsd server box, ran md5 and verified
correct hash with checksum.md5 file. Burned to cdrom and installed
5.3 as second system on MS/Windows98 box with Freebsd default boot
manager. Freebsd install went fine. On first reboot tried to load
MS/Windows98. After F1 key win98 boot just hung there doing nothing.
Did pc reset and boot started again, this time selected F3 key for
5.3 boot which just hung there doing nothing.

Now hard drive is unusable. PC boot using MS/Windows98 floppy to get
to native DOS prompt and ran fdisk which shows win98 and freebsd
allocated as expected.
This also happened with 5.3-beta1 and had to DOS fdisk HD to single
partition and format c: before was able to reinstall win98 from
cdrom. fdisk /mbr did not help.

Just to test equipment I then installed 4.10 as second system with
default Freebsd boot manager and every thing worked as expected.

5.3 install from downloaded iso image has show stopper problem using
default boot manger.

Anybody reading this post from the 5.3 release build team have any
ideas on how to recover both systems on HD without blanking out HD
like before?

Port: fontconfig

2004-09-09 Thread Mike Hogsett

Greetings list,
I am having a problem with fontconfig from ports.   I wanted
to update X11 to xorg on my alpha box.  I read the 20040723 entry
in /usr/ports/UPDATING and proceeded as instructed.
Now the port build processing is barfing on the build of
fontconfig.
[ I didn't have the actual error message from the alpha box
  since it is at home, but I reproduced it on a FreeBSD/i386
  machine ]
The error message is :
fcfreetype.c: In function `FcFreeTypeQuery':
fcfreetype.c:300: syntax error before `psfontinfo'
fcfreetype.c:759: `psfontinfo' undeclared (first use in this function)

Does anyone have suggestions how I can get past this?  I have no

Re: Which Release to Download?

2004-09-09 Thread David Syphers

On Thursday 09 September 2004 08:13 am, Jerry McAllister wrote:
  At this point, unless you have some critical application that needs the
  proven stability of 4.x, I don't see a good reason for a new user to
  start there. Given that you want it for learning, I would say the
  choice is between 5.2.1  and waiting for 5.3 (which will be a full
  production release) in a few weeks.

 This is really the opposite of the best official advice that is given.
 Unless you have a strong reason for needing 5.xxx, then installing 4.10
 is a good idea.   It is the officially stable production system.   True
 that 5.2.1 is basically quite reliable now, but there is no reason not
 to use the official production release
 which is 4.10.

I disagree. I think a completely new user should start with 5.x - there's no 
reason to learn the details of how 4.x works, just to have significant 
portions of that knowledge become obsolete in a month. I wouldn't use 5.2.1 
on a production machine, but it's perfectly fine for a desktop or learning 
machine.

  If you plan to use FreeBSD as your main desktop OS you might want to
  wait for 5.3, otherwise the upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3 shouldn't be too
  hard, and it's part of the learning process.

 It would also be part of the learning process to move from 4.10
 to 5.3 which would be a little more radical move when it comes.

I don't think a new user should try his first make world as a move from 5.2.1 
to 5.3. There are quite a lot of pitfalls along the way, including the 
installation of a new gcc version (there are around 40 entries 
in /usr/src/UPDATING relevant to the upgrade). And I wouldn't wish a 
4.10-to-5.3 source upgrade on anyone (though it is possible).

Personally, I would wait the approximately 3 days until 5.3-BETA4 is 
available, and use that. Then the original poster can play around with 
FreeBSD for a while, and by the time 5.3-RELEASE comes out, might be ready 
for a straightforward source upgrade.

Then, I create it into /usr/local/libexec and after that the message change
to:

inetd[717]: cannot execute /usr/local/libexec/popper: Permission denied

I modify permissions to:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Sep 9 14:13 popper

After I modify permissions the message change to:

inetd[799]: cannot execute /usr/local/libexec/popper: Exec format error

Poor choice of words on my part. People are perfectly free to run FreeBSD 2.2, 
and some do. What I meant was, most new users are going to want 5.x, as 
things have advanced significantly from 4.x. For every person like you, who 
won't move to 5.x for at least a year after it's gone -stable (due to large 
numbers of local modifications, production stability concerns, or whatever), 
there's at least one person like me, who went to 5.x years ago even though 
I'm not a developer (did Cardbus support ever make it to 4.x?). I'm not 
recommending that new users go to -current (6.x), but I am saying the system 
administration skills they learn in 5.x will be useful to them much longer 
than those they would learn in 4.x.

Adding A Hard Drive Using A PCI Controller

2004-09-09 Thread Rishi Chopra

I just installed FreeBSD 5.2 on an old Dell (Pentium
120).  The box has an ide controller onboard as well
as a Promise Ultra100 TX2 PCI controller card. 
There's a 4GB hard drive attatched to the onboard
controller used for all of the system files (e.g. /,
/var, /tmp, and /usr) and a 200GB hard drive attached
to the PCI card with one giant 200GB FAT32 partition
for data.

The PCI card is recognized during boot (the card's
BIOS loads during bootup and a quick 'dmesg' shows a
atapci1 entry), but I don't see any entries for the
drive under /dev (e.g. there's no /dev/ad1*
partitions).  I checked that the drive and controller
are working, since another computer with a win2k
installation seems them just fine.  The onboard
controller and attached system drive seem to work just
fine.

Can anyone suggest why the PCI controller is
recognized but the drive attached to it isn't?  What
should I do so that the drive is recognized?

Apache+mod_ssl + mod_php segfault

2004-09-09 Thread Vonleigh Simmons

	I sent this already but didn't get any replies. I'm a little desperate 
because I need to get this working, so if you can suggest anything at 
all, I'd really appreciate it. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE, apache 
is apache13-modssl, php is the mod_php version. All latest versions 
(cvsup this morning).

	The problem is that apache segfaults on startup when 
loadmodule/addmodule php are in the config file. Originally I fixed the 
problem by compiling apache without expat. However, after a portupgrade 
it stopped working again.

	Right now it's working with a major kludge: start up apache with 
loadmodule/addmodule commented out, comment them back in and do an 
apachectl restart. Somehow this lets apache work without segfaulting. 
However, if I do an apachectl graceful/restart, then it segfaults again 
and won't start up.

	I've tried recompiling apache, recompiling php, getting rid of php 
extensions, etc, all to no avail. There is nothing in the logs, it 
simply fails to start up. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

cvsup problem Please Help

2004-09-09 Thread Lee Lispon

Hello. I am running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I have recently had a problem with 
ports and cannot get the ports to download completely. Basically, in an effort
to save space and exclude ports that I never need like x11, japanese, etc..
I deleted these directories from the /usr/ports directory and changed by
entry in the /etc/cvsupfile from:

ports-all

to:

ports-base
ports-archivers
ports-converters
ports-databases
ports-devel
ports-editors
ports-ftp
ports-japanese
ports-security
ports-shells
ports-sysutils
ports-www
.
.
.

Unfortunatly, the next time I executed /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -P - 
/etc/cvsupfile most of my remaining ports were deleted. Ex. My intention was to have 
a complte /usr/ports/www directory, however, this only contains two 
directories.

apache13
php5-cgi

Also, I should have a sysutils directory. Well, in this case the directory is
completely gone. I have also notice that most Makefiles have been deleted. 
I attempted to completely rebuild my ports directories from a 4.9 CD. They all
copied over fine but when I execute /usr/local/bin/cvsup (This time with the
original ports-all) all my ports are deleted again. This is very frustrating.
I hope that someone can help and I appologize for the long description. 

Please send me email directly and I will followup with the resolution.

Lee

looks to be making a *nix desktop OS for the typical Windows user, i.e.
click-driven not cli-driven. Making it a less quixotic task than it may
seem, they intend to charge for the system once it is out of beta.
I have not yet succeeded in getting an iso (1.0 beta), so I do not know
how customized anything is. Judging by the site's very sketchy content,
I would say not very. The most interesting thing (imo) is they say that
they are going to take on the beast that is sysinstall and GUI-ize it.

Stheg

Make a file called .xinitrc in your home directory. The file would
contain only startkde without the s in the first line. Save and
exit the file. Next start the X server using startx without the s
if you have installed the wrapper port or with X without the s if
you havent. You should be back in track.

Re: Adding A Hard Drive Using A PCI Controller

2004-09-09 Thread Josh Paetzel

On Thursday 09 September 2004 16:58, Rishi Chopra wrote:
 I just installed FreeBSD 5.2 on an old Dell (Pentium
 120).  The box has an ide controller onboard as well
 as a Promise Ultra100 TX2 PCI controller card.
 There's a 4GB hard drive attatched to the onboard
 controller used for all of the system files (e.g. /,
 /var, /tmp, and /usr) and a 200GB hard drive attached
 to the PCI card with one giant 200GB FAT32 partition
 for data.

 The PCI card is recognized during boot (the card's
 BIOS loads during bootup and a quick 'dmesg' shows a
 atapci1 entry), but I don't see any entries for the
 drive under /dev (e.g. there's no /dev/ad1*
 partitions).  I checked that the drive and controller
 are working, since another computer with a win2k
 installation seems them just fine.  The onboard
 controller and attached system drive seem to work just
 fine.

 Can anyone suggest why the PCI controller is
 recognized but the drive attached to it isn't?  What
 should I do so that the drive is recognized?

Don't know if that fixes your problem or not.

at their sites. Xorg is suppose to start diverging with 6.8.0, which

Re: cvsup problem Please Help

I guess you have used something wrong in the supfile. Pull up
/usr/share/example/cvsup/ports-supfile and edit that file directly. It
should work fine.

 Hello. I am running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I have recently had a problem with
 ports and cannot get the ports to download completely. Basically, in an effort
 to save space and exclude ports that I never need like x11, japanese, etc..
 I deleted these directories from the /usr/ports directory and changed by
 entry in the /etc/cvsupfile from:
 
 ports-all
 
 to:
 
 ports-base
 ports-archivers
 ports-converters
 ports-databases
 ports-devel
 ports-editors
 ports-ftp
 ports-japanese
 ports-security
 ports-shells
 ports-sysutils
 ports-www
 .

 Unfortunatly, the next time I executed /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -P - 
 /etc/cvsupfile most of my remaining ports were deleted. Ex. My intention was to have
 a complte /usr/ports/www directory, however, this only contains two
 directories.
 
 apache13
 php5-cgi
 
 Also, I should have a sysutils directory. Well, in this case the directory is
 completely gone. I have also notice that most Makefiles have been deleted.
 I attempted to completely rebuild my ports directories from a 4.9 CD. They all
 copied over fine but when I execute /usr/local/bin/cvsup (This time with the
 original ports-all) all my ports are deleted again. This is very frustrating.
 I hope that someone can help and I appologize for the long description.
 
 Please send me email directly and I will followup with the resolution.

Re: Apache+mod_ssl + mod_php segfault

Did you use something non standard while compiling? Something like
including excessive optimizations like -O2 or -O3 in CFLAGS in your
Makefile or /etc/make.conf? If not, could I have the core?

I sent this already but didn't get any replies. I'm a little desperate
 because I need to get this working, so if you can suggest anything at
 all, I'd really appreciate it. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE, apache
 is apache13-modssl, php is the mod_php version. All latest versions
 (cvsup this morning).
 
The problem is that apache segfaults on startup when
 loadmodule/addmodule php are in the config file. Originally I fixed the
 problem by compiling apache without expat. However, after a portupgrade
 it stopped working again.
 
Right now it's working with a major kludge: start up apache with
 loadmodule/addmodule commented out, comment them back in and do an
 apachectl restart. Somehow this lets apache work without segfaulting.
 However, if I do an apachectl graceful/restart, then it segfaults again
 and won't start up.
 
I've tried recompiling apache, recompiling php, getting rid of php
 extensions, etc, all to no avail. There is nothing in the logs, it
 simply fails to start up. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

You have forgotten to install a pop3 server and you are trying to

Re: problemo

Suppose you want to setup X Server for a user called prince.
Then log into the system as prince. Then type these commands:

cat .xinitrc Enter
startkde Enter
Ctrl+D
startx

This will work for you.

Re: Set Screen Refresh Rate?

You need to edit the HSync (Horizontal Synchronization Rate) and VSync
(Vertical Synchronization Rate) Parameters in your XFree86
configuration file. Btw why do you want to go for a lower resolution.
X, in most cases detects the monitor and video subsystem and selects
the most optimized settings.

 You'll probably have to modify you X config file to get this setting
 changed permanently.  Depending on whether you are using X.org or
 XFree86, there are different tools for this, and the filename may
 even be different.  See the documentation for the X system you're
 using, or reply with more information about which X your using to
 get a more specific reply.

Forgive me if this is silly, but...

In *MY* setup, F1 points to a teeny tiny partition that Windows XP Home
Edition created with, err, looks like some kind of boot-strapping stuff in
it.

And *F2* is what gets me into Windows.

F3 is also some Windows tiny partition.

F4 is FreeBSD

Speaking of which...

Where exactly are the text strings for F1, F2, F3, F4 stored?

Now that I know what's what, it's no big deal, but the anal/retentive part

IRQs are shared, so there could be TWO things on IRQ 10...

So you can't really be sure it's your graphic card.

I believe that is the same card as is in my laptop, and 5.2.1 installed
fine on that...

I'm not saying for sure it's *NOT* your graphics card -- just that it's
not looking all that likely...

Cheap/easy things to try:
re-download (or check the checksum) the disk 1 binary.
re-burn a new CDR.

What *other* hardware is in your computer?
Anything funky?
Perhaps pull out anything that's not super crucial, and try to install.
