How do you know how to install ports? (like vmware3)
For example, I have been trying to install the vmware3 port - and I find all kinds of tidbits all over the web about little things that need to be done to get it to work. The information sometimes covers version 2.0, sometimes 3.2, and sometimes 4.5. If someone just goes in to /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 and does a make install, how would they know what else to do? I'm new to FreeBSD, maybe I am missing something obvious? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone here already configured wine on freebsd?? Help me please
Good day! I've already installed the binary package of wine for freebsd which i've downloaded from winehq. My problem is that, no matter how hard I read the configuration section of their documentation, I can't figure out how the software works... I've already copied the example config file I found from the directory /documentation/samples of the latest wine source code to $HOME/.wine/ but when I tried to `wine winampinstaller.exe` i got an error which says: Invalid path Lc:\\windows for Lwindows directory: does not exist. Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file (/root/.wine/config Please explain this, cause I don't really know what's happening here. I've been reading their docs again and again, but I can't seem to find any line such as: edit this line in config and change it to something bla bla... All it says are merely explanation of what the line does, not how should I modify that certain line.. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks.. Hope this one works=( -jay __ Do you Yahoo!?

broken fs dump file
I have a broken fs dump I need to fix. Is there a diagnostic/repair tool I can use? I know about restore -N. No I didn't verify, and yes that was a mistake Dump was taken on 4.10.

Sendmail default installed? Why it is in port collection because?
My question is in the subject. If you search in port collection you will see: sendmail and sendmail-sasl. sendmail-sasl contains only Makefile, I supouse that it compile the sendmail port with SASL paramether and others. But why I must install sendmail port if I see that Sendmail is up and running in my FreeBSD but in #pkg_info -l list it not appear. How can I remove it totaly? Whats happened if i go to #/usr/ports/mail/sendmail or sendmail-sasl and install it? This problem found first when I configure Sendmail por SMTP auth and before when I try to replace Sendmail with Postfix. Regards.

Error mounting Linux ext2fs drive

Re: Sendmail default installed? Why it is in port collection because?
On Thu, Sep 30, 2004 at 10:12:19AM -0300, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My question is in the subject. If you search in port collection you will see: sendmail and sendmail-sasl. sendmail-sasl contains only Makefile, I supouse that it compile the sendmail port with SASL paramether and others. Sendmail is in the ports as well as in the base system for several reasons. One is so older versions of FreeBSD can update to a recent sendmail. Another is to provide a relatively easy was on installing sendmail with a customised compilation -- there are quite a lot of optional features that could be turned on or off, dependencies on various other software packages etc. The sendmail-sasl port is what's known as a 'slave' port -- all that Makefile does is use all of the settings, files, patches etc. from the master sendmail port, except that it changes a few configuration settings so that SASL functionality is turned on. It saves pretty much duplicating the whole sendmail port with only minor changes. But why I must install sendmail port if I see that Sendmail is up and running in my FreeBSD but in #pkg_info -l list it not appear. In general, you don't need to install sendmail from ports. The sendmail as provided in the base system will work just fine for the vast majority of sites, from machines that produce only the daily/weekly/monthly reports, to those that handle the e-mail for hundreds of users. If you're using the version of sendmail from the base system, there won't be any 'pkg_info' indicating that sendmail is installed. That's simply because the base system is not installed using packages. (Compare this to, say NetBSD or Solaris, where the same packaging system is used to install the core system as well as add-on software). Packagizing the base system is one of those bikeshed items that will cause people to throw things at you if you suggest what a good idea it would be...: pretty much everyone agrees that it would, but no one has yet managed to come up with a workable way of switching the base system to packages that doesn't throw away the advantages of the current way of doing things. How can I remove it totaly? Whats happened if i go to #/usr/ports/mail/sendmail or sendmail-sasl and install it? FreeBSD has a system called mailwrapper(8) imported from NetBSD. This allows you to install any of the popular MTAs (sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, etc) through the ports, and then mailwrapper ensures that the default Unix method of sending e-mail programatically, which is to pipe the message into a program called /usr/sbin/sendmail, will in fact submit it via which ever MTA you have chosen. When you use one of the sendmail ports it will automatically modify the configuration file (mailer.conf(5)) to use the newly installed MTA. This problem found first when I configure Sendmail por SMTP auth and before when I try to replace Sendmail with Postfix. You can implement SASL and SMTP Auth using the base system sendmail. This section of the handbook explains how: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html Although that does talk about SASLv1 -- the procedure for setting it up with SASLv2 is almost identical, except that: i) Install the security/cyrus-sasl2 port. ii) Edit the file /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf to say: pwcheck_method: saslauthd iii) Edit make.conf to set the following flags: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 iv) Rebuild sendmail as described in the referenced article v) Add SASL configuration to /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc: FEATURE(no_default_msa)dnl ## overridden with DAEMON_OPTIONS below [...] dnl ## Set SASL options TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupReadableSASLDBFile')dnl [...] DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')dnl vi) Rebuild and install the modified sendmail configuration by running: # make # make install in the /etc/mail directory.

Re: Subject=Freebsd 5.2.1 Performance
How I response to a question? If you mean how do you respond to a question that has been posted to the FreeBSD questions, just reply to the question. Do a group reply or reply to all or something that makes your reply go back to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as well as the original poster. As matters of style: Break your lines of text at about 72 characters length - either by configuring your Email client to do it or by hitting RETURN/ENTER at about 72 characters length. Also, turn on inclusion marking and then intersperse your responses at the appropriate places in the original text to make the response simulate a conversation - rather than putting all of the response at the top of the message - eg don't top post. The most common inclusion marking style nowdays seems to be using the GreaterThan character plus a space on all lines includes as my mailer did with your message above. People on this list are very easy-going about handling English from someone who has first learned in another language, but be aware that some misunderstandings can come up and it may take some patience to sort them out.

While it may seem condescending, I find newer users tend to get overwhelmed when more experienced users try to supply an exhaustive answer. For example, bringing up PKI would almost certainly lead to a discussion of algorithm choice, etc. The result in these cases often is the new user drops out of the thread (and does whatever) while the old hands bikeshed what must seem like (and sometimes is) arcane minutiae. As the OP uses ssh, he will learn more about it and ask deeper questions. In the meantime, his network is relatively safe. He asked about ssh not telnet, after all.

But I was experiencing very VERY poor performance TCP/IP wise, untill I dug up a tip from google Someone mentioned that many ISPs do not fully support IPv6, and that 5.2.1 would try to use it first and then after a timeout it would try IPv4.

Re: Is there a reverse Network Address Translation???
On Thursday, September 30, 2004 stheg olloydson [EMAIL PROTECTED] spoke as if he was talking about me. snip Most certainly! I was taking into account the OP's relative newness to the unix world. While it may seem condescending, I find newer users tend to get overwhelmed when more experienced users try to supply an exhaustive answer. For example, bringing up PKI would almost certainly lead to a discussion of algorithm choice, etc. The result in these cases often is the new user drops out of the thread (and does whatever)while the old hands bikeshed what must seem like (and sometimes is) arcane minutiae. I have been using FreeBSD for about 10 months as a hobbyist/learning tool. I lurk on the lists to pick up pointers and solve my own little problems. Because I am retired and am only a hobyist, I do exactly as Stheg has indicated above. I will start reading a thread to learn something new or it may be something on my list of features/programs in my future agenda. When it gets too deep for my knowledge level, I will drop out and try to make a mental note that it will always be in the archives. In the time I started with FreeBSD, I have installed it on 4 desktops and 2 laptops. I am running 5.3betas on 3 boxes and 5.2.1P9 on the others. I have solved many of my troubles by lurking and have asked the list a few questions. I have always received polite, helpful responses even if they did not solve my troubles. More times than not, I will solve the problems by research rather than sending to questions. One needs a strong base to build a large pyramid of knowledge. If I were allowed to issue karma points, I would give a couple of dozen to Stheg.

I suspect you *might* be thinking of the recent change on the sparc64 platform, which happened after 5.2.1-release. *IF* you are running freebsd on sparc64 hardware, then the instructions for that change are included in a file under /usr/src (note that file was only added after 5.2.1-release).

Re: Which Version of FreeBSD?
I really believe the choose would depend on your requirements and your experience. If you are new to open source Unix-like environment then you should not use either in version in a production environment unless you can afford the cost associated with learning a new system. Do not under estimate that cost. In a production environment I would recommend using a system you are familiar with administering. I hope I do not get too many people mad at me for say this. If you are seating up a file sharing server that works in a windows environment you may want to use 5.3. This version adds support for ACL, NSS (nss_ldap) , and a bunch of other stuff that I have not be able to explore yet. On Wednesday 29 September 2004 19:07, Michael G.

In 4.x, expr does 64-bit math by default. Apparently POSIX requires
that expr use whatever the systems' signed long size is, so the
default was changed for 5.x, and -e was added to get the old behaviour.
If you want your script to work on both, you'll have to do a feature
test. I started out just testing expr and expr -e, but it sort of
grew... The following script will check the shell's math, two ways of
calling expr, and finally fall back on calling bc. As long as you just
use the basic math operators, quote your *'s, and put spaces between
everything, all the methods should be compatible, and your script will
work on any bourne-compatible shell :)

Re: Is there a reverse Network Address Translation???
Mark Jayson Alvarez wrote: Hi, I wan't to access my pc at work from home through freebsd's sshd. Is it possible?, knowing that it doesn't have a public ip address? That workstation of mine is only gaining internet access through LAN servers and routers. Will it help if I know the gateway ip where my workstation passes through and the proxy as well as dns server's ip's? I know its possible but I can't imagine the process, perhaps something like a reverse network address translation... Any idea? I think you would need to have the public IP LAN server/router ready, willing, and able to port-forward SSH packets to your personal workstation. Your work IT Administrator may, or may not, be willing to set this up for you. If *YOU* control the public-IP LAN gear at work, you need to set them up to port-forward anything on some port that the public-IP LAN gear isn't using to your desktop workstation. You'd think that SSH needs port 22, but if that's already in use, you can: 1. Configure the public-IP to accept/forward port 222 (or whatever) to your desktop workstation. 2. Configure sshd on the desktop workstation to accept traffic on 222 and use sshd to handle that traffic. 3. Use ssh -p 222 [EMAIL PROTECTED] at home to log in to the desktop at work. The PUBLIC IP box gets the connection on 222, forwards it to your desktop, and you're in like Flynn. If the PUBLIC IP is dynamic (IE, cable modem, DSL, etc) you can also set up software to create a valid domain name for it using something like: http://dyndns.org or one of a few dozen other similar services. In that case, you'd install a small client on the PUBLIC IP box which will notify the DynDNS folks whenever your IP changes, then they update the DNS routing tables for you, and Whammo! you don't really care that your IP is dynamic because they tied a domain name to it for you. If you can't alter the PUBLIC IP LAN gear at work, then I don't think you can manage to ssh in to your desktop box. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Confused about SATA Raid
I installed FreeBSD 5.3 Beta 6 today on an Intel s875wp1-e server board. I enabled RAID on the ICH5 SATA ports. Using its BIOS, I built a 2 drive mirror. FreeBSD saw both the native disks (ad4 and ad6). I installed to ad4. I ran atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6. It said ar0 was created. Now I'm stuck. How do I make the system use ar0 instead of adX? Can I simply change the /etc/fstab file and reboot? Thanks!

RE: Backup Mail Server Questions
That's the hard part. The Secondary MX'ing part is fairly easy. All you do is get your friend to add an MX record to the DNS 'yourfriend.com' zone listing your server as a high numbered MXer: $ORIGIN yourfriend.com. @ INMX 0 smtp.yourfriend.com. 10 smtp2.yourfriend.com. 30 smtp.you.com. And then add: yourfriend.comRELAY to /etc/mail/access and rebuild access.db. That means your machine will accept e-mails addressed to users @yourfriend.com and queue them up for relaying onto to his servers as soon as they come back up again. If his site has to go down for an extended length of time, you can make special arrangements to store incoming mail for longer than the usual 5 days and then flush it over to him when he comes back up. I have a question that builds off this. Is there a way to make the backup MX server understand that some mail is ultimately destined for it and try to deliver it locally? Here would be an example: Mydomain.com is MX'd to mail.mydomin.com, which handles email for all my users. On that server, I've set up an alias for support@ that is actually a forward to my ticket system box (ie: [EMAIL PROTECTED]). In the event my main mail server is down, I'd like to use the tickets.mydomain.com box as the backup MX. Its already running SMTP to handle the tickets, so seems a logical choice. What would be ideal is to have mail destined for support@ to be delivered locally. So, for example, a user can create a ticket saying the mail server is down (of course that is only useful if admins have off-site email addresses the ticket system notifies for redundancy, but that's easy enough). Mostly interested in knowing how to do this under Postfix, but I'm not married to it.

question reguarding Evolution...
Im running 4.10 right now and even since 4.9 and lower i have had this problem. Im running 1.4.6 right now... the latest as of last night form ports. (9/29/2004) Basicly what is happening is it downloads 1 email every 2 minutes and 10 seconds, just an FYI im running 3Mbit cable and if i download email from the same server same account on any other computer its at most 2 seconds or so per email. I have tryed rebuilding it a few times, and playing around with differnt ports and such. Another problem im having is every once in a while i will be downloading emails and it will come to an email and just stop. It will not delete the ones it downloaded off the server and it will not download any more. It just halts and stops downloading then retrys in 30 minutes (what its set too) and repeats that over and over. It stores the emails that it downloaded so i generally come home or wake up to 200-300 of the same emails waiting around in their respective places. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these problems? Its pretty common for the second one to happen, and it runs very very slow.

I've read on google and other places where this has been resolved for some
cameras, but it doesn't seem to work with mine. I'm willing to help debug
the code. I've tried looking into the file bsd.c that comes with libusb and
found that gphoto2 stalls around the place where the read takes place
(obvious). I'm not really sure what else to check since it's writing and
it's being accepted by the camera, but the read is just failing. I'm
inclined to think it's a USB issue since gphoto2 sends the exact same bytes
to the camera on my linux machine and it works perfectly there.
I have
gphoto2-2.1.4_1
libusb-0.1.7_1
Thanks all,
Frank

Re: process will not die.

Here's the top: The 550 process I kill -9ed, but its still there, and now when I try to kill it it says 'no such process'. Is it possible that the process really is dead, but top and/or ps are out of sync a bit?...

Re: makeworld issues
Did you cvsup with src-all? If not then please do so. Also can we have a look at /etc/make.conf?

The system would always error out and not complete its update. Someone from the list suggested that I cvsup my system, which I did multiple time to no avail. This morning, I tried again. Still errors out. I even went so far as to backup my old kernel, and then completely remove the /usr/src/sys directory and all subdirectories. Then I cvsuped again to get all new code. Edited the GENERIC kernel to match my old kernel and tried to makeworld again. Below is the errors I am seeing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Right now, the only thing I know to do is to rebuild, and I don't want to do that if it can be avoided.
