will it just append it to the ports config?
Not sure about this. AFAIK, MAKE_ARGS are passed as command line
options to Make when the port is built. So, if passing them on the
command line works until now *and* saves them in the persistent port

AFAIK, tcp-wrappers doesn't control which interface is being listened on, but rather it controls from which IP numbers connections will be accepted. This is what I meant, when I said that tcp-wrappers doesn't do exactly what you want. However, if you use tcp-wrappers to accept only connections from 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and configure a firewall on this host to block all connections to the interface in question from this address range, then you will end up with something approximating what you want.

FreeBSD 5.3 file system troubles
Is anybody besides *me* having file system corruption problems with FreeBSD 5.3? I've looked around on several of the mailing lists and found no men- tion of this. I have two different platforms on which I'm trying to run FreeBSD 5.3. One is an x86 SMP system (dual AMD Athlon 1900+) and the other is an Alpha DS-10. On the SMP system, doing anything I/O intensive (like a kernel build) quickly corrupts the file system - I start to encounter problems like being unable to remove entire directory trees because the system thinks that empty directories are not *really* empty and therefore cannot be deleted. Other problems occur, too. On the Alpha system, I'm trying to get Xorg to work, with no success. What normally happens is that the system locks up *totally* either when trying to configure X or when running the X server after configure generates a config file (I'm trying multiple versions of Xorg). The lockup means that I have to power-cycle the system to reboot. When I do this, the filesystem is *always* horribly damaged. I finally gave up when I couldn't even get into sh in single-abuser mode because /libexec/ld.so.1 was no longer there ... What I'm going to try next is pulling one CPU out of the SMP system to see if that helps. On the Alpha, I'm just going to give up on Xorg for a while. I'd hate to have to drop back to 4.10 or 4.11 ... If anyone has any suggestions, or even just sympathetic words, I'd be happy to hear them! Thanks. Terry R.

Re: What's on each FreeBSD 5.3 (i386) disc?
I want to install FreeBSD for the i386 architecture...there are 4 ISOs: 5.3-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso a) If I just burn the disc1 ISO image to a CD is that enough for a standard install? Yes.It has the installer and binary packages for the system and some of the most popular ports. But, if you install over the net which you might want to do it you have a decent connection you only need to download and burn the miniinst.iso. It will do the complete install and it allows you to choose to load the sources and ports, etc via ftp. It works well for me. b) what's on disc 2 - ports? More stuff and a system runable from the CD boot (eg not just install). c) what is the 'bootonly' disc for? I haven't tried to use that one yet. It is fairly recent in the collection - maybe starting with 5.xxx.

Re: Partition Size
Jerry McAllister wrote: This 'rest of the disk' should be divided up into chunks that can be dump(8)ed to one backup media if possible. Otherwise you will get sloppy and not do backups because it is harder. Since there is a What kind of nonsense is this? I've never heard about such an advise, and it doesn't make sense to me. Surely dumping a filesystem to multiple tapes isn't more, most likely less, effort than dumping n filesystems to one tape each. The only case this doesn't hold is when you're using amanda, but that's hardly a home setup, and comes with a special backup discipline anyways. Actually, I doubt that many people use tape backup at home, considering how outrageously expensive the stuff is, and the inexpensiveness of usb disks these days, which are a lot easier to handle than tapes. Just based on experience with a number of sites who use our systems. If it gets any more complicated than shoving in one tape and typing one command, they put it off and don't get around to it until it generally doesn't get done at all. Having to come back and put in another tape and respond to a prompt seems to be something that makes it too complicated. It is reasonably easy to create a script that will dump a series of file systems to single tapes by just having it ask which one to do each time.This seems to make more sense to some people, especially those without much experience (yet) in the process than keeping track of prompts to put in the next media unit. Of course a stacker is nice. But, the beginner is not likely to have that. If you have no problem plugging in a sequence of tapes and keeping track of them, then skip the chunking, for sure. Personally, I prefer to make a much bigger filesystem - even stripe more than one drive together - except I can't really afford much hardware for my personal use right now. Anyway, it doesn't seem all that complicated to me either. This is just experience with startups and harrassed site managers talking. If you are running a really big server system, then chunking disk space to fit backup media would really be a pain. But, then, someone running a really big system is likely to have enough experience to not be intimidated by multi-tape or DVD or whatever dumps and also would not be asking the questions that the poster did. Those people would have already worked out their stuff and probably are doing something like mirroring or raid 5-ing or running a continuous crawl backup process or whatever else they think up. And, if you aren't using tapes, well make it work out well for whatever you are doing. Mirrors are not infallible, but then neither are tapes. So, choose your poisen and hope the antidote works. jerry mkb. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is an especially viable way of doing it for small systems that won't be handling lots of file growth. But, there are reasons, especially on bigger systems for dividing things up. It makes dealing with some types of problems easier and heads off problems when some types of files grow unexpectedly. It can also help make backups easier to manage.

Perfectly understandable and I thank you for the efforts you're going through to get portmanager updated so quickly. So now I know that on December 1st, 2004 /usr/ports/graphics/xfree86-dri and /usr/ports/graphics/dri both existed and both report their name as dri-5.0.2,2 on that date. This caused portmanager to loop so I have duplicated the problem which means it can be fixed. I still need to move the ports forward to the current date before I have a certain fix but right now I think the quick work around will be to go into each of these directories (graphics/dri and graphics/xfree86-dri) and manually de-install them. Then let portmanager pull back in the correct one. That worked for the ports as they existed on December 1st, 2004 but I still need to verify it works for the current date. So for a quick fix at the moment, I should just go into /usr/ports/graphics/dri and /usr/ports/graphics/xfree86-dri and run make deinstall, then run portmanager -u and it should install the proper version for the dependancies, correct? That works on December 1st, I'm not certain about the current date yet. Further info, on December 1st /usr/ports/graphics/dri is the correct dri for XFree86-4. I have all of this running on a AMD450 so it is a bit slow, my guess is I'll have solid answers in about 4 hours and the quick fix will probably be to de-install graphics/xfree86-dri then run portmanager -u.

Re: Running public IP's inside an RFC 1597 network
DP Hello, DP I'm running a typical Class C RFC 1597 network in my lab. What I want DP to do is create another network, accessible from my private addresses, DP that use public IPs. The public IPs exist in the wild but I want to have DP an isolated environment where I can test what happens in public space, in DP my lab, before I deploy changes. DP All the machines in question are running 5.3-STABLE. DP What I've setup so far are two test servers, host1 (H1) and host2 (H2) DP with public IPs, and a gateway (GW) machine with one public IP and one DP private IP. All three machines are on a switch, the gateway has two DP NICs, one on the public switch and one on the private switch. DP e.g., DPExternal IPInternal IP Defaultrouter IP DP - -- --- DP GW 123.456.789.1/24 10.20.30.40/24 10.20.30.1 DP H1 123.456.789.154/24 123.456.789.1 DP H2 123.456.789.161/24 123.456.789.1 DP I can ping between the 3 public IP's fine until I turn on the GW DP interface with the private IP. At that point, the GW cannot ping the DP two public servers. DP Obviously I'll need NAT'ing from the GW to H1 and H2 if I want packets DP from other hosts on my private network to see the public servers. DP What I can't figure out is how to tell my GW machine that packets DP destined for the 123.456.789.0/24 network are to go through my other DP NIC, not out through the GW's default router. DP I hope I've explained the situation clearly. Googling and reading the DP friendly manuals has not revealed a solution to me. - Can you provide the output of netstat -nr, please.

Re: portmanager loop?
To keep everyone informed, here is how portmanager's looping problem
with XFree86 is going to be handled:
portmanager version 0.2.4_1
Adding three strikes checking. When make is run on a port
it gets 1 strike, if it's made a second time it gets 2 strikes and a
warning will be printed, if it tries to build a 3rd time it gets marked
as ignore and no more attempts will be made to build it. At the end
of a portmanager -u run every port that was ignored and why it was
ignored is listed. This change doesn't solve the problem, but makes it
managable and I will have it posted before the day is over.
portmanager version 0.2.5
When a port has a second strike placed against it, instead of getting
its dependencies from /var/db/{portname}/+CONTENTS (which is very fast)
the port's dependencies will be retrieved by running make
all-depends-list in the port's directory (horribly slow) . I expect
this to be a clean fix for the looping problem but may take a few days
for codeing and testing before I can release this version.

X11 / keyboard emacs?
Well, I'm stumped.
I can't figure out why, in FreeBSD (or at least the one I have running
here) the keyboard mapping for editing all the text widgets (in X) is
not using emacs keybindings. The only way I can get control-a and
control-e, control-d etc, to work is if I run xfce4 and choose Emacs in
the Keyboard settings.
a peek at that file:
/usr/X11R6/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc
shows me things like:
#
# Bindings for GtkTextView and GtkEntry
#
binding gtk-emacs-text-entry
{
bind ctrlb { move-cursor (logical-positions, -1, 0) }
bind shiftctrlb { move-cursor (logical-positions, -1, 1) }
bind ctrlf { move-cursor (logical-positions, 1, 0) }
bind shiftctrlf { move-cursor (logical-positions, 1, 1) }
// snip //
What I don't understand is how to make that global. That is, applied to
all Window Managers. If I run AfterStep or WindowMaker, these keyboard
bindings do not apply and I can't figure out how to make them apply
irrespective of the window manager currently running.

Gert Cuykens wrote: True, lets talk about the factory then The machinery would be /usr/src The resources would be /usr/ports Do you agree a wrench is not a resource ? I think your analogies go astray because you don't fully understand the wide variety of uses Perl has. It used in many different contexts, like: It might be a robotic arm that arguably could/should be left behind, if and only if that is its sole function. It might be the wrench at the end of that arm, which surely might be useful in another context and you should probably keep on hand. It might also serve as the lug nuts that bind the wheels to your vehicle, which are surely inadvisable to remove. Each port that requires Perl is different. In the building/furntiture analogy, Perl might be a couch that you could remove if it was really in conflict with the room. It might be the paint brush that colors your walls and that might be useful when adding a new room to your house, so you should keep it. It might also be the hidden filler that makes your other couch so darn comfortable, which is surely inadvisable to try to remove.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10 | Continued Discussion
All, With the recent release of 4.11 I thought that I would give it a spin and com pair my results with my previous testing. I was blown away by the performance difference between 4.11 and 5.3. Iostat showed a difference of over 30Mb/s difference between the two. In fact, it kept up or out performed fedora Core 3 with XFS in my testing. This seems to indicate that the 5.x branch may still needs allot of performance work. One of the interesting observations was that 4.11 utilized much more of the processor than 5.3. I hope that the changes in 5.4 will help close this gap considerably. Is there any specific components of the 5.3 that have been identified to cause this performance difference?

I'm also looking forward to seeing the improvements to the 5.x branch as it matures. I want to make it very clear that this is NOT A Religious/Engineering War, please don't try to turn it into one. That said, lets move on to something more productive. I installed both operating systems using as many default options as possible and updated them with all of the latest patches. I was logged in via SSH from my workstation while running the tests. I didn't have X, running on any of the installations because it wasn't need. CPU and RAM utilization wasn't an issue during any of the tests, but the disk I/O performance was dramatically different. Please keep in mind that I ran these tests over and over to see if I had consistent results. I even did the same tests on other pieces of equipment not listed in my notes that yielded the same results time and time again. Some have confirmed that they have had similar results in there testing using other testing tools and methods. This makes me wounder why the gap is so large, and how it can be improved? I think that it would be beneficial to have others in this group do similar testing and post there results. This may help those that are working on the OS itself to find trouble areas, and ways to improve them. It may also help clarify many of the response questions because you will be able to completely control the testing environment. I look forward to seeing the testing results, and any good feedback that helps identify specific tuning options, or bugs that need to be addressed.

Re: My FreeBSD Box's WEB serve sleeps?
if the clients visit http serve via internet at the first time after a long time(eg. one day),my box will delays for about serveral minutes,and then it works very well. You do not mention much about the server. Is it shared with other services? Is that the first person to hit the server in a day, or is that just the first time this person has hit the server in a day? If it is a shared system and that server is rarely hit, maybe the httpd processes are all getting swapped out. You might set up a cron job to request the home page once an hour just to make sure it is in memory when the next person calls. Or maybe it is a DNS problem. Are you hosting your own DNS records? After a day they may be out of date and if your DNS server is slow it could delay the system. You might test by having the person request the page by ip address instead (assuming it is not a shared server using virtual hosting). So... I think more information is needed. _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

removing phpMyAdmin
Well, I wanted to remove phpMyAdmin from my 5.3 server. Usually I would just go to the port location under /usr/ports/ and type make deinstall. However, phpMyAdmin apparently isn't here anymore. I don't even know exactly where it should be be but judging by freebsd's website, it should be under /usr/ports/www/ but it's not.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 file system troubles
I have been testing 5.3 (Standard Install/Default settings) and haven't had any file system corruption. However, the I/O performance results from my testing currently show that there is a major difference between 4.11 and 5.3 (4.11 is much faster!). I have a suspicion that these issues may be related to some core issues with 5.3 that need to cleared up. On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 05:50:02 -0700 (MST), Terry R.

What normally happens is that the system locks up *totally* either when trying to configure X or when running the X server after configure generates a config file (I'm trying multiple versions of Xorg). The lockup means that I have to power-cycle the system to reboot. When I do this, the filesystem is *always* horribly damaged. I finally gave up when I couldn't even get into sh in single-abuser mode because /libexec/ld.so.1 was no longer there ...

Re: Persistent kernel module?
On Tue, Jan 25, 2005 at 10:45:31AM -0500, Tim Buck wrote: Is there a way to make a kernel module persistent between kernel builds? I'm using a HighPoint SATA RAID controller on FreeBSD 5.3. HighPoint provides a driver for this controller in the form of a kernel module (hpt374.ko). Their instructions say to put the module in /boot/kernel, and add 'hpt374_load=YES' to the file /boot/defaults/loader.conf. This works, but when I build a new kernel the /boot/kernel dir gets renamed and recreated, and the hpt374.ko module doesn't get copied to the new dir. I have to copy it manually each time I build the kernel. So is there a way to make the kernel build process know about third party kernel modules and copy it over to the new /boot/kernel automatically? This is somewhat intentional; if you update your kernel source and recompile the kernel without recompiling the module, there's a good chance your kernel will panic when you try and use it. If you're not planning to update your kernel sources but just want to recompile the kernel with different options, there are other directories that are checked for module loading - see the loader.conf manpage.

Kris FWIW, it's been building just fine for me since m71. Also runs quite snappily and has been very stable. Only problem has been a crash in bsdtar during the extract stage. I solved that by running the extract and watching TV during it. Having the machine idle seems to solve the problem for some reason. The failure does look to be something familiar though. I believe I had a similar failure once or twice with OpenOffice-1.1. I just did a `make clean' and started it again. I usually chalk it up in the same category as the mysterious jdk14 failure I get once in a blue moon. Try cleaning and running the build again.

Burning CDRs on DVD recorders
I recently upgraded my CD burner to a DVD burner. I have the ATAPI/CAM options built-in to my 5.3 kernel and can burn DVDs with growisofs. How should I burn CDs in the DVD drive? Should I use growisofs with /dev/cd0 or should I used burncd with /dev/acd0, or will either work? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're able to burn DVD's okay now, it would probably make sense to stick with growisofs, but either one should work fine. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
