Re: Vim on SMB share

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?

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.
Charles Ulrich
Thanks for the ideas.  The server side is Win2k (so not much I can do 
there!), the BSD is using version 3 of the Samba client, so I'll try 
downgrading it to version 2 and see how I go.

I guess it must also be to do with the way Vim edits files, as the basic 
FBSD editor (ee) seems to manage.

Daren

Of course it will always be better to have it built into the kernel
than to load it as a module. The primary advantage is the speed at
which the kernel can speak to a module is much less compared to the
speed at which it can speak to another part of itself.

Every device has a special identification code which is unique for a
device throughout the world. While booting the kernel basically probes
the available devices "without" knowing what is what. The device
replies with that code and the kernel comes to know what device it is
by analysing the code returned.

No its not possible. If you use a particular chip you cant reburn the
device identification in the CHIP. That is possible just once during
the manufacture and is hardwired.

It is very unlikely you will blow anything up. The max what can happen

But I have *never* seen a firmware blow up that way. But yes that IS
possible.

Anything like ftpmount on freebsd ?

[Mike Woods]

Those people I remember from my Amiga days will know exactly what im
asking but for the rest of you let me elaborate, ftpmount is an old Amiga
filesystem that allowed you to access ftp sites trough a standard AmigaDos
device, now try as i might i cant find anything like it for freebsd so im
wondering does anyone know of anything that can provide this functionality
?

They are 755 on the dirs, 644 on the checkout files, all root:wheel. 
Seems OK to me.

Some more experimenting revealed that it depends on the cvsup mirror 
I'm using. Using cvsup2.nl.freebsd.org I have the SetAttrs problem, but
when switching to cvsup.nl.freebsd.org all is fine. I tried switching a
couple of times and it seems consistent. I'm happy now :-), but still
wondering what could be "wrong" on the cvsup2 mirror. I have logs of the
cvsup sessions if anyone is interested.

I have recently been working on a big LaTeX project, with which I
regularly ran into a "TeX capacity exceeded" error.  You mean I could
use the hugelatex package for this?  Does it have other compile-time

Terminal Display Size? (Characters Wide Lines High)

[Brian Black]

Hi,
   sorry if this question is asked often on the list, i have not found 
any answers.  after install of the system the terminal displays 80 or so 
characters wide on the screen.  I now have a wide screen display,  What 
tool can be used to change the number of characters wide and the number 
of lines high the terminal will display?

The monitor is apple 23" wide screen, currently running fbsd 5.2.1
p.s.
   Is there also a way to have this new setting to be the default 
terminal display for all virtual terminals also (i.e. alt+F2 ...).

thanks
Brian

Run 'man vidcontrol', be enlightened.

The allscreens_flags variable in /etc/rc.conf sets this.

Make sure you're running fsck with the partition unmounted (or at
*least* read-only, but preferably not mounted at all).  If repeated
runs of fsck continue to get the same errors, then you have very
serious problems indeed.

Problems with newsyslog

[redmyrlin]

I have just acquired a new virtual server and have set up newsyslog.conf 
to mirror that on my old virtual server.  On my old server the logs are 
rotated and compressed without any problems.  The old server runs 
FreeBSD 4.9.

The new server runs FreeBSD 4.10, and I'm getting the following errors 
reported by Cron
---
newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 84000: Operation not permitted
newsyslog: log /var/log/maillog.0 not compressed because daemon(s) not 
notified
newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 43506: Operation not permitted
newsyslog: log /var/log/ssl_engine_log.0 not compressed because 
daemon(s) not notified
...
--

pid 84000 refers to /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
pid 43506 refers to /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL
I cannot see any difference in way I have setup newsyslog and am at a 
loss to know how to proceed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds to me very much like you've got the mod_php loadable
object linked against an incompatible version of a shlib which
apach+mod_ssl is also linked to.  At a guess:

i) I'd finger the OpenSSL libs as a prime suspect: particularly if
   you've also installed OpenSSL from ports.  It's not necessary
   to install OpenSSL from ports as the version in the base system
   is perfectly OK.

   ii) Different threading libraries can have similar bad effects.
   Everything should be compiled using the same threading
   libraries: if necessary, use /etc/libmap.conf to force the
   issue.  (Although I've never heard of that being necessary for
   any variant of apache before now)

The reason your kludge works would be to do with the order of
resolving the required shlibs: something like one shlib resolves all
the required symbols, but the other one is missing some.

Use ldd(1) to investigate what shlibs a binary needs, and check for
conflicts:

% ldd /usr/local/sbin/httpd 
/usr/local/sbin/httpd:
libz.so.2 => /usr/lib/libz.so.2 (0x280b3000)

Installing ports with OPTIONS

[Steve Bertrand]

Hi all,

I am attempting to install /usr/ports/security/snort, but I want MySQL
support.

I've uncommented OPTIONS and the line that states MYSQL=on in the
Makefile, however, when I run:

# script
# make

the resulting script shows no indication that MySQL was included. How
can I verify that support for MySQL was included?

If I run:

# make -DWITH_MYSQL

will I be certain that it is included, even if the output from make
shows no indication of MySQL?

Tks,

Steve

Sorry to reply my own post, but:

# make -DWITH_MYSQL

appears to be working. The port is building in MySQL now.

Usually this error message means that the daemon in question has died
or in some way been restarted so that the PID number that newsyslog
reads out of one of the files under /var/run has become bogus (in this
case. /var/run/sendmail.pid or /var/run/httpd.pid).  However, if
sendmail or apache httpd are running, and you haven't specifically
configured them not to, then they will write their PIDs into those
files.

The other possibility is that you are trying to run newsyslog using a
non-root UID, which means it will not be permitted to send signals to
arbitrary processes, or that the newsyslog process does not have
sufficient privileges to read those PID files.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: Installing ports with OPTIONS

[Tom Cook]

I believe that you should just be able to install the port with the
option '--with-mysql' to bring in support for mysql

i.e.:

#make --with-mysql

should do it for you.

Don't do that: the OPTIONS stuff is commented out for a reason.  Not
entirely sure what reason, but if it worked, it wouldn't be commented
out now, would it?

Using:

# make -DWITH_MYSQL

is the correct thing to do.  However, you should make sure that you
aren't stumbling over the remains of previous compilation sessions.
First run:

# make clean

then run

# make -DWITH_MYSQL

and you should certainly see mysql mentioned during the configuration
and compilation steps.

Matthew

Absolutely.  Your mail server is claiming to be a different host.

True, but this is different.  Your server is misconfigured in a way
that makes it difficult to be sure that error messages go to the right
place, so my mail server would have rejected its connections even
before I started tightening down against "spam."

Well, I thought it was commented out so things don't get compiled in
by default, but it certainly does not appear to work.

Yes, as per my own reply, this is what I did, and it is compiling with
MySQL.

For myself I am using make WITH_MYSQL=yes (all install clean).
It is working. I do also put that option to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
in MAKE_ARGS section like:

'www/firefox' => 'WITH_SMB=yes WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes',

By this portupgrade will be able to use options used at
first time installation.

No, you are running out of space!   DF has nothing to do with it.

If one of the processes grabs some file space and then unlinks, it
is still holding/using that space and probably needs it, even if 
one method (df) shows it used and another (du) does not.   Don't be 
fooled by the red herring of du and df disagreeing.  Some process is 
trying to use that space and you need more of it.   

If you are doing database stuff, then I can't imagine having a /var
of less than a few GB, unless you move a lot of stuff out of /var and
create links.   See some recent previous posts on the subject.

Correct. du can only show the `named' space (the size of files which are
not unlinked-but-open).

One of the ways to find out what has the largest files open is

# fstat | grep /var | sort -r -n -k 8 | head

(gives you the `top ten list' of the largest open files and the
processes which use them).

If the problem is in a program holding lots of small files open, then a
different script (utilizing uniq -c) could be devised.

31GB is `a few GB' in some sense.

quite interesting. Does FreeBSD have a X-mode and is it easy to handle? 
Whats the difference between FreeBSD, Slackware and Redhat?

Wow... what a can of worms. Most importantly FreeBSD is not Linux. Though
you'll find lots of crossover in terms of applications (e.g. XOrg, XFree86,
Gnome, KDE).

You'll find lots of opinion on whether FreeBSD is better than Linux and vice
versa.

My suggestion is you read up about each Linux distro & FreeBSD and decide
for you personally which is best.

FreeBSD can run X. I use it as a desktop. The things that make me come back
to FreeBSD each time I try a different linux distro is:
1) The make buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel
tools that make upgrading/updating your system a breeze.
2) The ports system that makes installing applications and
dependencies a thoughtless stress-free task.
3) The portupgrade sysutil that makes managing the upgrade of your
applications equally stress free.

Laters,
Phil.

Re: Question about FreeBSD.

[Tom Cook]

Johan,

First of all, welcome!

FreeBSD isn't a distribution of linux, actually. FreeBSD is a derived
from an entirely different code base than Linux is. These days,
though, they share many common features and also differ in many areas.

To answer your questions; yes, FreeBSD does have full X windows
support, and many people are using and enjoying it these days.

The biggest difference between FreeBSD, slack, and Redhat are
numerous: FreeBSD is based off the BSD kernel and system, while the
Linux kernels are completely from the other side of the world
(literally) and come directly from Linus. You can get various
'distributions' of linux, all with various userland applications and
configuration methods but there is only *one* FreeBSD. When you
download the 5.2.1 or 4.10 release you can be confident that you're
getting FreeBSD, and that your skills in FreeBSD will directly
transfer to any FreeBSD system that you use (as far as the way that
things are configured, managed, and maintained)

The biggest thing for me is the ports system and the ease that FreeBSD
brings to installing packages. Just the other day I was using Fedora
and started to install something, only to find out that it needed a
dependency, which had two other dependencies that I had to go build
and install. On FreeBSD, all of that is done for you: the recursive
dependency installs, sanity checking, and everything.

Overall, give it a shot and feel free to ask questions. It's a great OS.

As you will quickly learn if you read the material suggested by others
on this list, FreeBSD is not Linux.  (it's better...).

Yes, it has X.   Easy is a subjective thing.  I find it easier than all
the pointy-clickey junk from Microsloth, etc.   But, there is a 
significant initial learning curve.

As for the differences between FreeBSD and some of the Linux distros,
you have some studying ahead of you.  There are many similarities and
some important differences that make FreeBSD a top choice for reliability
and security.

Have fun,

Verb. Sap.  Please do not confuse FreeBSD and Linux -- the two are
quite separate projects.  FreeBSD is not Linux.

FreeBSD is a Unix OS derived from the 4.4BSD-lite codebase developed
by the Computer Systems Research Group at the University of Berkeley.

Yes, FreeBSD runs pretty much all readily available free or open
source software, including X Windows (either XFree86 or X.Org
implementations) and the KDE and Gnome desktop environments.  There
are over 11,000 readily available applications from the ports
collection, any of which can be installed with consumate ease simply
by typing 'make install' in the correct directory.

I personally think it's much the easiest to manage out of all of the
examples you cite, but then again I've been dealing with Unix and
unix-like systems for years. As a complete beginner you'll find that
FreeBSD teaches you a lot more about the innards of the system and
what precisely is going on than most other OSes.  It does that by not
even attempting to provide a lobotomized "for beginners only"
management interface.

I suggest you take a look at the FreeBSD handbook and the other, quite
extensive, documentation available on the FreeBSD site:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Thanks for your time.
Best regards,

As said before FreeBSD is not a linux distribution, FreeBSD is a more 
direct descendant of Unix.

Red Hat is the most user friendly of the ones you name, but in my 
opinion it's not very good

Slackware is the most 'clean' linux distribution around, It has good 
performance and is very customisable and very very stable. I'd say it's 
one of the most unix like linux in structure.

FreeBSD is not a linux, But the best on your list in my opinion. It's 
extremely stable, very easy to maintain, update and fix.
Performance, especially with multiple things going on, is much better 
then on linux in my expereince.

All 3 come with the X window system and a few GUIs like KDE and Gnome etc...
Slackware and FreeBSD dont have them set up and configured by default, 
you have to do that yourself. (it's not scary)

If you understand the basics of a Unix OS, FreeBSD is very clear and 
easy to handle.
If you are comletely new I do recommend reading up on some Unix basics, 
and/or the chapters in the FreeBSD handbook on this.

I'll suggest part of the answer is to move that space off /var
- possibly to a dedicated partition or even a dedicated drive.  /var
is used by a lot of porgrams, and it is unfair (and probably unwise)
to complicate their lives without absolute need.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.

Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!

  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:

  unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
  which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
  not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
  messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
  clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies l

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Actually, I mentioned that 31 is `a few' for some values of `a few'
earlier.

I have no experience with mysql, but I'd think something is creating
tons of smaller files and not closing them, rather than a program
keeping a 31G file open (inflating 400M to 31G should be difficult even
for mysql). Try (yet another ugly fstat hack)

# fstat | grep /var | grep mysqld | wc -l

to show the number of files open by the mysqld process (or any other
process if you change the name) in the /var fs.

Did you try asking on a mysql-related list?

Vim tries to create a file called .FILENAME.swp when you edit FILENAME.
The leading dot is probably what breaks the way vim works on Samba
shares.  You can always try to make vim write its swap files in another
location, i.e. in `/var/tmp' with this in your .vimrc:

set dir=/var/tmp

or you can disable swapfiles altogether with

set noswapfile

You can even play nice tricks like selectively disabling the swapfile
only for files that "live" in the well-known path of your Samba shares
with something similar to this in your .vimrc:

if !exists("samba_swapfile_hack")
  let samba_swapfile_hack = 1
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /share/win2k/* set noswapfile
endif

Unless, of course, my guess is wrong and all this is nonsense :-)

how to update system time?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

first: hello to all FreeBSD users out there ;)
After using Linux for several years, I want to try out FreeBSD for some of 
my servers now. I am coming from Gentoo Linux, so I am somewhat "used" to 
the ports system...

Ok, now to my first question: I am setting up my 2nd FreeBSD box now. On my 
first test machine I installed "rdate" (instead of "ntpdate"); I can 
update system time w/o problems there.

But when I try to update system time on the 2nd box now, I get no errors 
from rdate, but my time and date is not updated afterwards. When I try it 
with ntpdate (with same time server), I get the following error:

6 Sep 15:22:01 ntpdate[330]: no server suitable for synchronization found

I set my local time via /stand/sysinstall to my local timezone (Austria), 
CEST. With rdate, I get the right date and time, but as said my system 
date and time is not updated, it stays around two hours behind...

Sorry if this is maybe a dumb question, but I really have no idea left 
where the problem could be (because this works wonderful on the other 
FreeBSD test machine).

Greetings and TIA, Matthias

mplayer-plugin with mozilla-1.7 on my laptop??

[Gary Kline]

I think getting mplayer-plugin to work under 5.3(beta) was
already discussed.  I didn't pay much attention to it
because, one, I as focusing on getting it to work here
where I'm running 4.10, and also I didn't think mplayer
would work.  Wrong.  It works where the Windoze player is
required just fine.  

Now I would like to get mplayer-plugin working on my latop
which is running 5.3-beta.  It's plugin opens an mplayer 
graphic, but there is a "truncated" message printed to
stderr, and no sound.  Is there a fix to get mplayer working
on FBSD-5*?

thanks,

gary

The computer _is_ able to reach the ntp server.
See this example:

Fri Sep 10 17:35:00 CEST 2004
[ 17:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ] rdate time.fu-berlin.de

Fri Sep 10 17:35:27 CEST 2004
[ 17:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ] ntpdate time.fu-berlin.de
10 Sep 17:35:42 ntpdate[8708]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[ 17:35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ]

I really wonder why system time isn't set, because as said I use the rdate 
tool on another FreeBSD machine and the same time server w/o any 
problems...

Any other ideas?

Is your securelevel set very high?  A high securelevel will prevent

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me. 

I'm trying to use Nifty TelNet to change a password on
our Web site (the password allows visitors to enter
the "members only" section of the site.)

Last year, I used the program to change the password,
and it was no problem. This time, the commands look
different and I'm having trouble. 

I'm getting all the way down to htpasswd .htpasswd,
then, I pick a code, and type in a new password. But,
when I go to our Web site, the password is the same
old one.

Help!

I would assume that you're posting your question here because your
hosting provider is using FreeBSD.

However, FreeBSD is simply the software used by your provider, and
is almost surely not associated with your hosting provider in any
way other than the fact that your hosting provider uses FreeBSD. As
a result, it's unlikely that anyone in the FreeBSD community will
be of much help to you.

I would suggest contacting your hosting provider's tech support
directly for assistance in this matter.

If I am wrong, and your problem _is_ with FreeBSD, can you please
provide more details about what you are trying to do, such as the
exact commands you are entering and the results you see.

make sure when you are using htpasswd that you are giving it the correct htpasswd

time.fu-berlin.de is not an ntp server, so that's a different problem
than rdate.

I seem to recall that rdate isn't very good at giving error
information.  Are the two systems configured identically?  A raised
securelevel(8) (level 2 or higher) will keep the time from getting
changed by more than 1 second...

Actually it is:

$ ntptrace time.fu-berlin.de
130.133.1.10: stratum 1, offset 0.011233, synch distance 0.00153, refid 'GPS'

Matthias, try running "ntpdate -d time.fu-berlin.de", which won't try
to set the local clock but will print out some debugging info that
might tell you why it coudln't fetch anything from the server.  Maybe
you have a firewall blocking incoming port 123 UDP traffic?

I don't know how this particular scanner works, but if was (to write) a 
scanner which is supposed to scan as many as possible hosts as quickly 
as possible, I would simply start sending out syn's as fast as I can or 
my master told me, without tracking to which hosts I sent one (just do a 
count upwards or something like that). Then I would simply collect those 
hosts that do respond with an ACK and put only them in the queue for 
further processing. Whether your host sends a nak or nothing is the same 
to me.
So I don't think a block will cause any significant harm to these attacks.

This is gonna sound stupid, but I spent a good 10 minutes using locate and
find and whatnot trying to find something like "kernel.conf" and failed...

Now that I'm reading up on kernel config, I want to confirm what may be a
misconception...

Sometimes, when one talks about a "config" file, one is talking about
editing /etc/*.conf, and start/stop a service, or, in extreme cases,
re-booting.

Are there run-time options to the kernel in such a file?

Or are all kernel-configuration options done at compile-time?

I can understand that the latter might be necessary, given the way the
boot process works, but I'm not 100% sure I'm not missing an easy text
file to edit rather than a re-compile of a kernel...

And, I'd just as soon not re-compile the kernel if I can determine that
BFE driver is already in it, of course, as that will simply waste my time.
 And, knowing me, screw up the machine completely :-)

I expressed myself poorly.

Is it possible that having XYZ compiled in the kernel will get a device
recognized at boot, when having XYZ as a module does *NOT* get that same
device recognized?

I am reasonably certain that BFE is already in there somewhere before I
try to kldload it...

Perhaps what I should have asked is:

Given that this device has a different device identification, but that
Windows identifies it as a BCM 440x, and that bfe supports the BCM 4401,
and the BFE docs indicate that that driver should work for the BCM 440x
"series", am I reasonable to expect that if I could just add a line of
code somewhere with the new device identification, it has a strong
possibility of working?

I understand that a new device with a similar model number may have such a
different instruction set and API.

I also know that sometimes all devices in a given series use the same
driver, even if they have "different" model numbers (or even different
manufacturers using the same CHIP).

What I'm not completely clear on is:
Does a different device ID pretty much guarantee that the same driver
won't work, or do drivers often work for a bunch of chips with different
IDs that really aren't all that different in API?

Some of the settings one can make in /etc/rc.conf end up making 
run-time changes to the kernel.  A simple example would be 
gateway_enable='yes', which sets the sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1.

Or are all kernel-configuration options done at compile-time?
No.

Yes.  Take a look at the code in /usr/src/sys/dev/bfe/if_bfe.c:
static struct bfe_type bfe_devs[] = {
{ BCOM_VENDORID, BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM4401,
"Broadcom BCM4401 Fast Ethernet" },
{ 0, 0, NULL }
};
...define a BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM4403 in if_bfereg.h, and add a similar

What I'm not completely clear on is:

IDs that really aren't all that different in API?
Really popular chipsets end up being cloned or re-released with minor 
variants over time, so one driver can handle many different PCI vendor 
ID/device ID combos.  But that all depends on the specific 
circumstances, there are few generalizations which can be made 
reliably.

something fishy with this network

[Nagilum]

Hi,
I have a really strange network problem and no idea what's the cause, 
maybe someone else can enlighten me..so here it comes:
I have a FreeBSD5.3b3 gateway, this machine is NAT gateway, Webserver, 
DHCP and nameserver for the LAN, Mailserver, Samba, et al..
In my LAN I have a PC and a Powerbook, both configured via DHCP from the 
gateway.
Everything works fine except I can't access certain hosts in the 
internet from the Powerbook or the gateway, the most famous being 
slashdot.org (www.clamav.net is another one). I can access other hosts 
without problems but from some I just don't get anything.
The really strange thing is that I can access them from the PC (via NAT) 
running Win2k, but not from the same machine running FreeBSD or Linux.
It also doesn't work from the Powerbook running MacOS-X 10.3.5, but I 
know it's not the browser or anything in the Powerbook because if it 
works if I plug the Powerbook directly into the modem. It doesn't even 
work on the gateway itself, so a proxy wouldn't help.
The name resolution works fine, I can traceroute to the hosts on the 
gateway and even ping them. It seems to me as if there is something 
blocking the responses, when I try it with lynx all I see is "HTTP 
request sent; waiting for response."  but doesn't that mean, that the 
TCP handshake was already successful?
Everything was working fine back with 5.2, so I'm pretty sure it's 
something with my gateway, but what? (No I don't remember any particular 
change that could cause that)
I don't see anything special in the logs and I don't think I blocked 
anything. I don't think it's the fault of the packet filter pf, since it 
does not work from the gateway itself either, but just in case, here is 
my pf.conf (but it really can't be it, since there is no os-specific 
filtering in it):
 http://www.nagilum.org/pf.conf
It's more likely to be something with my kernel so here is my kernel config:
http://www.nagilum.de/cakebox
If I knew what else it could be I would put it up there but it just 
doesn't fit...
This is quite a mystery to me so any hints would be helpful,
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

Unfortunately it doesn't; I checked the /dev directory
and there are no listings for anything other than ad0.
 The installation program presents me with the options
of using ad0 (the 4GB drive) and fd0 (zip drive).  The
kernel doesn't seem to recognize/load the 200GB drive!

I verified that the drive can be seen from DOS by
lodaing Ghost and Partition Magic; both programs are
able to see the drive just fine.  The kernel
documentation says that ad* are allocated dynamically
on bootup, so I don't think there needs to be an entry
in the kernel conf file, thought I might be
mistaken...

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

ok, a look into "man securelevel" gave the answer: in kernel securelevel 2

My suggestion follows Bill's.  Contact your hosting provider.  If you

time for a new hosting provider.  I've had good experience with
LunarPages.com.  Asking the FreeBSD community for support for something

doesn't work.  Now, if you want to host your site at home on your own

I would assume that you're posting your question here because your
hosting provider is using FreeBSD.

However, FreeBSD is simply the software used by your provider, and
is almost surely not associated with your hosting provider in any
way other than the fact that your hosting provider uses FreeBSD. As
a result, it's unlikely that anyone in the FreeBSD community will
be of much help to you.

I would suggest contacting your hosting provider's tech support
directly for assistance in this matter.

If I am wrong, and your problem _is_ with FreeBSD, can you please
provide more details about what you are trying to do, such as the
exact commands you are entering and the results you see.

Can't get my USB-devices to work (except mouse...). 5.2.1-R

[Keatis]

Hello.

Seems like noone usb-device want to work on the pc.
I have Intel Pentium Xeon 2.4GHz (E7505 Chipset based server) with SCSI, LSILogic 
MegaRAID controllers (LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320 v1.04, FW 1L19) and Intel 82801DB USB 
controller, USB1.0. There is also 4 SCSI HDDs (two Maxtor Atlas10K 35Gb and two 70Gb) 
in two RAID 1 arrays - amrd0 and amrd1 respectively. BIOS - PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 
6.0.

FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE is installed (GENERIC kernel).
Thus,
device scbus
device da
device pass
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device umass

are present in kernel config. And usbd_enabled="yes" in rc.conf.

When i attach either Flash-drive, or USB HDD (or just any usb-device), usbd keeps 
silence and doesn't report anything. Usb mouse is working fine (only if the mouse was 
connected before power-on or system startup) and usbd tells its words on 1st console 
when i detach mouse (but when i reattach it again, it won't work and usbd will tell 
nothing on 1st console).

Can't figure out what's wrong, so i want ask you to help to solve this problem.

Note that rdate and ntpdate don't use the same protocol.  rdate uses RFC
868, whereas ntpdate uses RFC 2030 ("NTP").  So maybe this server
doesn't offer both?

I just stumbled across this and send-pr'd the fix (it needs to run aclocal).

I believe this may be your problem. My understanding is the USE_TZ is for use
with systems which set time zone using a TZ environment variable. 
I believe you need USE_SYSTEM.

Re: Adding A Hard Drive Using A PCI Controller

[Nicholas Jackson]

It sounds like it might be an out-of-date firmware problem to me.
Check the web sites for both the Promise controller and your motherboard 
and make sure you have flashed your hardware with the most recent 
updates if more recent ones are available.

Those new, large IDE drives require 48 bit support in the controller
and it probably wouldn't hurt to check that your computer's BIOS is as 
recent as possible as well.

Of course, it could be something else, (cables?) but I've had similar 
problems that were cured instantly and painlessly by updated firmware.

Unfortunately it doesn't; I checked the /dev directory
and there are no listings for anything other than ad0.
 The installation program presents me with the options
of using ad0 (the 4GB drive) and fd0 (zip drive).  The
kernel doesn't seem to recognize/load the 200GB drive!
I verified that the drive can be seen from DOS by
lodaing Ghost and Partition Magic; both programs are
able to see the drive just fine.  The kernel
documentation says that ad* are allocated dynamically
on bootup, so I don't think there needs to be an entry
in the kernel conf file, thought I might be
mistaken...
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

NAT/DIVERT Issues in 5.2.1 Release

[Denis Lemire]

I've just completed a frustrating day of attempting to get nat working
on 5.2.1 RELEASE. I've very familiar with using FreeBSD as a nat
enabled Internet gateway, I have set this up on many machines with
prior versions.

I've compiled my kernel with the ip divert and firewall options
needed. I have enabled the firewall and natd in my rc.conf, and have
(for now) set firewall type to open and gateway_enable="yes".

The setup simply won't work, the appropriate rules are in the
firewall, and the natd daemon is running. The main thing I find that
doesn't make sense is running "ipfw -a l" lists the divert rule but
its values are zeroed out such that it has been used.

Is there an issue with nat on 5.2.1-RELEASE? I've even tried compiling
a kernel from cvsup (5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 I believe).

Any suggestions on where I might have messed this up would be excellent.

Re: problemo

Recompile the kernel after adding "device agp" without the "s to the
kernel config file. Alternatively you can load agp as a module using
"kldload agp.ko" without the "s.

Re: NAT/DIVERT Issues in 5.2.1 Release

[Subhro]

There is no issue I know of. FBSD-5.2.1-R-p9 works nicely as a NAT
gateway at my location. However the information you have provided is
too little for getting hold of the problem. We could try to figure
something out but we need some more informations, like how set it up,
firewall rules, etc.

S.

Actually, if the files in question are opened and unlinked, then they

Hi to the FreeBSD team, my name is David Garcia, I'm from Mexico, I'm a university 
student of computing and I'm investigating about the FreeBSD OS, I would really 
apreciate some specifical information like technical information about the kernel, the 
advantages and disadvantages agains the Linux operating systems, it's independence of 
the hardware where it's running and the facilities that FreeBSD gives for software 
develop. I would really apreciate such information, I know it's common information but 
not so easy to find on internet, mostly because I need some technical information. I'm 
writing you because the page of FreeBSD for Mexico seems to be out of service. Thank 
you.

info so i know i ahve the most up to date one?
thanks
 

It's all about the tags.  RELENG_4_10 will give you FreeBSD 
4.10-RELEASE, the -p2 means there have been 2 patches for it since it 
was released and you have them.  Tthe RELEASE branch only gets bugfixes 
and security updates.  If you want, say, 4.10-STABLE, which will 
eventually become 4.11, use the tag RELENG_4.  There is a section on 
these tags in the FreeBSD Handbook that fully explains them.

Asus A7N8X-E w/SATA and SCSI, 4.10 sys install snafu

[Gary Aitken]

Just built a new system:
  Asus A7N8X-E motherboard, Athlon XP 2600+
  2 SATA seagate drives
  Old buslogic SCSI controller with 2 drives, a cd, and a tape.
  ATI compatible radeon 9000 agp 4x video card
The scsi disks have win nt images on them, from a previous system
so I can continue running it until I get a new one with both freebsd
and nt going off the sata drives.  When booted, the nt system runs fine.
I configured the mobo to boot from cd first, popped in the freebsd
4.10 cd.  However, it boots the nt images off the scsi disks instead.
So I unplugged the power from the scsi disks.  It still wouldn't
boot off the scsi cd.  Is the mobo bios too dumb to recognize a
scsi cd?
So I popped in a 4.10 boot floppy and tried again.
Turns out the boot floppy was bad,
Boot: 0:fda(0,a)/floppy
|\
Boot:
I tried to force a boot from the cd, but I'm not sure what to use
for the bios device and the device ids.  The CD is configured as
SCSI device 6.  I tried:
Boot: 1:da(6,a)/kernel -C
Invalid label
Invalid label
No /kernel
BIOS shows the following devices:

 30   0   1002   4966   0300   Display controller4
   ACPI controller   9
The device on pci1 at 6.0, irq 11 is the buslogic scsi controller.
So I made new boot floppies, which booted properly.
The boot and initial probe shows the following:
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS drive D: is disk2
BIOS drive E: is disk3
BIOS drive F: is disk4
(makes sense, given that the system has a floppy (A),
two scsi disks (C,D or E,F) and two sata disks (ditto).)

Use ldd(1) to investigate what shlibs a binary needs, and check for
conflicts:
	This is what it outputs. Seems to be the same (although the numbers 
between parenthesis don't coincide, don't know if they should):

Interesting.  I did a find /var -inum {inode_num} and got the name of the 
file.  (session.log, which *should* be hupped when it's turned over.)  I've 
posted on the snort list to see if anyone is aware of this or has seen the 
problem before.  In the meantime, I've commented out the log in the conf 
file so the server won't gag when I'm not paying attention to it.

Problems with the ports collection

[Travis Troyer]

I just installed FreeBSD from the 5.2.1 ISO.  After installing
the necessities, I downloaded the latest ports.tar.gz from
freebsd.org, extracted the ports, and did a "make index" from
the ports directory.  At this point I did "make install" from
x11/kde3.  Since then I have installed firefox, gaim, and a
few other ports.  Then, I noticed that I didn't have kmail,
and found that it is part of the kdepim port, so I tried
installing it.  At some point it requires gpg-error.1, during
which I get:

===>   libgcrypt-1.2.0_1 depends on shared library:
gpg-error.1 - not found
===>Verifying install for gpg-error.1 in

No such file or directory
*** Error code 1


When installing other ports, I find that I get similar errors,
involving a "config.guess" file. 

Trying various things, I decided to run "portsdb -Uu", and got: 

portsdb -Uu
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please
wait..Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: freeciv-gtk2-1.14.1

[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd5]

Abort (core dumped)



At this point I am completely clueless as to what to try next.
 I can't seem to install any ports, and I don't know how to
get my ports collection back to a usable state, or what I did
to break it in the first place.  Of course, I will be happy to
provide any addition information.  I would appreciate any help
that may be offered.
