FreeBSD 5.3 and sshd
Hello at FreeBSD list. I have installed FreeBSD 5.3, have not upgraded to STABLE yet. During the installation I created a user account that is in the wheel group. After the installation, logged in as that user at console with no problems. But can not login using putty from my computer via ssh. Then enabled telnet in inetd.conf and could telnet just fine. I also noticed that I CAN ssh as that user from one of other servers (FreeBSD 5.1). Please help, I am not sure where to look. Thank you for your help in advance.

gtar failing, please help!
I have some backup scripts that manipulate a tape library and tape drive to perform my nightly backups. Ever since the switch from gtar to bsdtar in the base system, gtar fails to write any data to my tape and usually puts my SCSI bus in an unusable state. I must then issue a camcontrol reset command to free up the tape drive for use. Unfortunately, I can't use dump or bsdtar because my data spans multiple tapes. Now I'm stuck without any backup solution because bsdtar/dump don't have the features I need, and gtar no longer writes to my tapes. (I understand that dump will support multi- tape archives, but the provision is with user intervension. I'm not going to wake up at 0-dark-30 on Sunday mornings to manually tell my tape library to switch tapes!) What broke gtar? How do I fix it? Please help! Below, you'll find some system info including program versions and exact commands I'm using to replicate the problem. In the second section, you'll see that bsdtar works great. Too bad it doesn't allow multi-tape archives! The third section shows the failing gtar (it does this on all versions installed) and how it locks up my tape drive until I reset the SCSI bus. What other info might you need to help me fix this?

Getting a microphone to work
I have an old Dell Cpt 550 laptop where I run freeSBIE. Although I'm rather experienced with freeBSD I have never really have worked with the client-side part of it, so I don't know much of X or any other client side software (kde, gnome or whatever they are called is the same) I'm king of ssh so to say! Now, I want to have the integrated microphone up and running. I also want to 'teach' the computer a few phrases (3-4 or so) and have it interact with a software when it hears the phrase. Where do I start? Please point me to drivers, test software, guides or where to download that wonderful VoiceControlYouImageViewer.gz that you have laying around.

It is recommended for most users. [ http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html ] Not necessarily saying it's bomb proof but I don't know if they classify it as beta anymore. As well if it means anything to you we would never have moved our 'crticial' services to 4.1.X from 4.0.XX if we didn't believe it was ready.

Hey Chuck, You cannot be forced into a legally binding contract simply by reading a statement, no. Thank $DEITY that's still true. That doesn't mean the author won't try to sue people anyway, but even a spammer is unlikely to have anything to worry about unless the author is remarkably dedicated to wasting time and money following through. I read that 'agreement' about 20 times before posting. I am definately not worried about getting sued by him (whose name I am 'legally' refrained from mentioning here; because, by reading his message, I obviously agreed not to mention 'he who cannot be mentioned'; I thought Jahweh had a patent on that...), but I found it to be utterly incomprehensible. My first reaction was WTF? This is the stupidest disclaimer I have *ever* seen.. Then I wondered whether Austrian people have a special kind of humor. Then, I decided to ask.

Epson Perfection 2400 USB scanner support
I'm looking to buy a scanner and was thinking about getting an Epson Perfection 2400 USB scanner. It is listed as having complete SANE support, but it is not listed as being supported in the uscanner(4) man page. According to a page (http://khk.net/sane/usb_scanner.html) on the SANE Epson back-end Web site, the vendor and product id for the Epson Perfection 2400 are 0x04b8 and 0x011b respectively. I looked in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on the system on which I'll probably use the scanner (running FreeBSD 6-CURRENT) and I noticed there is indeed an entry with the same product id, but it is identified as GT-9300UF scanner. The entry in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on my NetBSD/alpha system actually identifies 0x011b as Perfection 2400 scanner. So, is the Epson GT-9300UF just an alternative market name (Japan, perhaps?) for the Epson Perfection 2400? (Though the UF suffix would indicate it has both USB and FireWire interfaces.) Is anyone successfully using an Epson Perfection 2400 USB scanner under either FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE or FreeBSD 6-CURRENT? (Does it work reliably? Would you recommend this scanner?) If anyone has any general recommendation for a cheap scanner that works well under FreeBSD, I'd be glad to hear it.

Re: Getting a microphone to work
I have an old Dell Cpt 550 laptop where I run freeSBIE. Although I'm rather experienced with freeBSD I have never really have worked with the client-side part of it, so I don't know much of X or any other client side software (kde, gnome or whatever they are called is the same) I'm king of ssh so to say! Now, I want to have the integrated microphone up and running. I also want to 'teach' the computer a few phrases (3-4 or so) and have it interact with a software when it hears the phrase. Where do I start? Please point me to drivers, test software, guides or where to download that wonderful VoiceControlYouImageViewer.gz that you have laying around. Any tip is welcome, imagine I know nothing about this! Good luck. Speech to text is very difficult, AFAIK nothing works well in the open source world. IBM's Via Voice runs on linux, if you can find it... You can try /usr/ports/audio/sphinx but it is an early release system. See the description of that for more info. I suspect this is a case of if you can get it working tell everyone else how, rather than it works great already. I could be wrong though. Actually, it's not a complete speak-2-text solution I'm aiming for, just being able to shout NEXT and it will perform some action. There will be 3 or four of those commands. Not more.

NFS tweaking (mount_nfs and fstab)
Hey FreeBSD community, Firstly - Whats the difference between freebsd-questions and freebsd-newbies? Just the level of detail / questions asked? Let me know if I should be posting somewhere besides this list. Ok, so I've been transferring large tar files (60gig+) to a nfs mount (both client and server are on the same LAN and both FreeBSD). Every so often the transfer halts. My NIC is using the `vr` driver so changed to a Intel card using the fxp driver - I'm told this is much more reliable. anyway... Since I'm spending so much time babying this NFS mount, I'd like to tweak it the best I can for fast, reliable read/write access. I googled and found a suggestion of: mount -t nfs -o -r=32768,-w=32768 bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup Can someone tell me if the -r,-w values are sane? Also - assuming those values are correct and make things reliably faster, how would I A). Check to see that these arguments are in action and B). add them to my /etc/fstab? I've assumed the following: bigbang:/backup/ad4m1a/tic /backup nfs rw,-r=32768,-w=32768 0 0 Is this correct?

Having xhost +localhost work the same way as xhost +foo.cmu.edu-- to avoid treating the local host as a special case-- was a good idea fifteen years ago. I do not have a perfect record of suggesting things in a way that does not break backwards compatibility, but one should attempt to make the distinction between changing something which was broken in order to get to something reasonable and changing something reasonable into something broken. Don't shoot the messenger! :) I was pretty confused by it too, especially since I do LOTS of display jumping. After failing some of this jumping, I finally typed the command at the prompt and got a strange response. So I read the manpage. It's all there. I couldn't say why, but I had too many other fish to fry to bother saying anything then. It's probably not the only deprecation or interface change from 4.x. I believe the 'nslookup' tool is now a wrapper to the 'host' utility, but I never used either one in complex enough ways to see any incompatibility. I can't quite remember, but I have the feeling there was another gotcha I had to get used to going to 5.x. Oh well, I still like 5.3 better for some reason. Maybe it's just the awesome machine I've got it running on though . . .

Heat problem with 4.11
For a few years now I have used fvcool to put the CPU of my 1GHz Athlon into power-saving mode. To make it work, I had to follow the instructions in the fvcool documentation and patch /sys/i386/i386/swtch.s to have these instructions immediately before calling hlt_vector: movl$0x4014, %edx inb %dx, %al (The number 4014 is obtained from running fvcool -v -e.) This reduced the idle temperature of the CPU from about 68C to about 35C. Unfortunately this patch no longer seems to do the trick in 4.11. The temperature is stuck at about 68C. Surprisingly, using fvcool -i (which sits in the background at low priority executing the inb instruction every 30uS) does work. The code around the call to hlt_vector has changed a little since 4.10; it has this instruction before the call: movl $0, lapic_tpr /* 1st candidate for an INT */ and a cli immediately after hlt_vector returns. Can anyone tell me what I need to change to make this work again? -- Richard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Root should never have a pretty screensaver. Screen savers are only needed when a CRT will be on (Wasting 100 watts while nobody is looking, it adds up to about $.10/day), for long periods of time at a screen that is otherwise unchanging over several years. The only burn in I've ever seen is a log in screen, normal users change enough on their display that burn-in isn't a problem. Root should NEVER log in except when the system is single user, or fresh install. In both cases that is command line only. If you must use some graphical config tool, su from some other user. As a last resort you could log in as root, but even then you should do the job and than log off fast, before you make a mistake! Programs like xscreensaver are doing FreeBSD a favor by preventing people from running as Administrator. A significant number of problems people have with Ms Windows is because users run as administrator by default. When programs like xscreensaver detect that you are root and refuse to run it makes it that much less likely that you will make a mistake while running as root. Mistakes when you are a normal user are bad enough, mistakes as root are worse. xscreensaver is also saving themselves in another way, if there is a unexpected bug that is exploitable, by refusing to run as root they can at least ensure that your whole system isn't compromised. This is particularly a big deal for xscreensaver where you can expect nobody will be around to watch evil people from attempting to break your system. If all that isn't enough to convince you otherwise: the source is there. Modify it yourself. And still i think the user should be able to make that desision and not xscreensaver, it is against the constitution namely freedome of screensaver :P ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See the manual for details. man the xscreensaver thingie isnt kidding about it... That's your whole problem. It is widely considered a Very Bad Thing to log into X as root. Xscreensaver refuses to run there because it calls external programs, which it gives free reign within it's access limitations. If xscreensaver were running as root, these extermal programs would therefore run as root, and should any of them be written with certain malicious, or even just errant code, your secure box could do anything from implode due to a bad disk access in the boot sector, to hang it's kiester right out the internet for all to see and poke and prod. And they WILL poke and prod. xscreensaver is the only such program that comes to mind that tries to protect you in this way, but think of all the other programs you run: your wm, all those utilities, the calculator, and the list goes on. Not all of these are part of the OS, most are contrib code, which means they were written by people outside the official team for whatever project you got it with. That doesn't mean it's not good code, most of it is excellent at the very least, but it doesn't always have the same rigorous testing cycle, and it is almost NEVER written to run as root. And a process intended to run as root DOES get structured differently. I *VERY* strongly recommend you create a real user, call it gert or cuykens, or the name of your box, or whatever you want and DON'T add it to every group and give it admin privileges. Using root for anything but administrative use or accessing restricted resources is a huge security hole. Cheers.

Re: xhost +localhost
Don't want to be rude but do you have a specific reason for running xscreensaver as root? Chris Well the reason is very simple actuale lets pretend we have a user gert. User gert has alot of pictures and music stuff phone numbers user gert dont want does things to be gone. Somebody hacks user gert because user gert uses a screensaver. And the hacker deletes all files. User gert is not happy because he lost everything. Do you think user gert gives a chit that the system was untouched because the hacker did not had root permission ? For me its wrong to think user accounts are not importend because they do for the average window xp single user. They dont care about viruses infection on there system reinstalling everything they care about there files. So if sreensaver is a securty risc as root i doesnt mean its not a security risck for a user account. The only differens between a root and user should be that users can not read or mess with other users files. The security sould be EXACTLY the same. So if root can not run a screensaver then the users can also not run a screensaver. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Disk Label Problem
I have a system with two SCSI disks. da1 has a complete working system on it that I need to clone onto da0. The disks are different sizes. So I went to sysinstall and used 'disk label' to create the desired structure. Thats where the problems started. If I create the first partition and set the mount point to / and the second as a swap partition and the third to mount at /usr then when writing the changes there are a number of errors generated because it can't mount to those points - they are in use. So then I tried to use 'disk label' and create the structure using /mnt and /mnt1 (which do exist). That worked fine and did the newfs. However, it created partitions d and e rather than a and d. So I went back and reestablished the structure using / and /usr to set the partitions to a and d and then went back and changed the mount points to /mnt and /mnt1 before the write. However, this generated an error that it couldn't write label. Obviously I am doing something wrong since I have don this using sysinstall and completing the system installation from CD.

Re: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Positive Negative, You might seriously consider not using '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as well since most php scripts read the username/password information in clear text on a nobody:nobody read filesystem. IOW other people can read your files. Possibly making the username/password somewhat cryptic, say writing a function to dizzify the usually clear text or at least setting up a specific user/pass combination for specific databases is a very good idea. eg: $S_userName=__callDizzyFunc(); $S_passInfo=__callDizzyFunc(); At least this is SOMEWHAT more protective then: $S_userName='root'; $S_passInfo='password'; 2 cents.

Re: xhost +localhost
On 02/03/05 03:19 AM, Gert Cuykens sat at the `puter and typed: Don't want to be rude but do you have a specific reason for running xscreensaver as root? Chris Well the reason is very simple actuale lets pretend we have a user gert. User gert has alot of pictures and music stuff phone numbers user gert dont want does things to be gone. Somebody hacks user gert because user gert uses a screensaver. And the hacker deletes all files. User gert is not happy because he lost everything. Do you think user gert gives a chit that the system was untouched because the hacker did not had root permission ? You've made backups, right? That would be the standard method of protecting these files. Trust me, EVERY other person on this list has files they value above their system. The system is ALWAYS easier to restore than lost data. The problem is that with root permission, a hacker can do a LOT more damage than just *your system*, and with root, it is pretty trivial to cover their tracks so that when the men in black come to your door and ask to see your computer logs, it looks like you're the one that's been trying to hack the NSA. Then you'd care if they had root access. For me its wrong to think user accounts are not importend because they do for the average window xp single user. They dont care about viruses infection on there system reinstalling everything they care about there files. So if sreensaver is a securty risc as root i doesnt mean its not a security risck for a user account. The only differens between a root and user should be that users can not read or mess with other users files. The security sould be EXACTLY the same. So if root can not run a screensaver then the users can also not run a screensaver. There's a lot more to system security than virus protection. There's secure passwords, restriction of root access, backups, firewalls, and a lot more. The fact that Windows often has to provide authoritative access to all users has been one of it's biggest vulnerabilities to virii. If everyone on *nix systems had administration privileges, you'd probably see quite a few worms working their way around these systems. And FTR, nobody can even frickin' PRINT to a NETWORK printer in XP without admin privs! How *stupid* is that!? My advice, get a backup process going and use a non root account. Lock down root, and use secure passwords. You can restrict access to any user account in a number of ways. I have some accounts with abysmally simple passwords, but they aren't allowed to log in non-locally in any way, shape or form. The only one that is, is quite limited to how and from where it can log in, and it uses a reasonably secure password. Is my system secure? Well, to a pretty good extent, I think it is. Secure enough to make it not worth the effort to your average to moderately savvy cracker. More so than I've made it in the past at any rate. I still watch closely for any signs of attempts, and deal with those I think are worthy of attention, but I don't worry so much now. That's basic admin, isn't it guys? I'm sure there will be a few additions to this, and possibly even a more organized listing of best practices, but I'm too tired to find the list right now - it's probably right there in the handbook anyway.

Cheerio, SigmaX Personally I would recommend using XSP on Linux (gasp) for the time being if it's for customers. XSP is fairly new and has it's own non-FreeBSD issues from what I understand. I would personally stick to Mono's main targeted platform for now if it's something that just has to work. As for being new to the programming world... Well, same here too. :) I wanted to learn something more robust than Bourne script and figured Mono would keep me on my toes and give me some way to apply whatever I read.

A cache is created which contains proper- ties of each font and the associated filename. This cache is used to speed application startup when using the fontconfig library. So it must look at your X config file finds out where the font directories are from that.

5.3 ata / atapicam issues (update)
Greetings, Just an update I pulled out the Promise adapter and connected my disk to the primary embedded IDE controller (max speed PIO 4) Left the atapi CDRW drive as a SLAVE on the secondary controller. Next, I tried ripping an audio CD with cdda2wav, and to my surprise, it was successful. The system did report several messages during the ripping process, like.

I disabled all ATA DMA (hw.ata.ata_dma=0 my in loader.conf) and tried to rip the disk again. It completed without a single error. Further, I was able to burn 5 CDs on the same drive at ridiculous speeds (48X reported by cdrecord) without a single issue. Hope this helps someone. I'm not at all sure where/what the problem is but I'll be happy to run on the embedded controller for the time being. (while PIO 4 != DMA 133, reliability/functionality is king!)

couldn't start KDE.

It was running fine at first untill I started installing few other applications. I'm attaching the error I recieve after running startx. Besides that. There is another small problem. xorg.conf refuses the Modes directive. I have an nVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go. Because the FreeBSD driver from nvidia refused to work with xorg. I used driver nv instead. I can only run 800x600 everything looks huge. I tried something like Modes 1024x758 and it refused the directive Modes. It's unkown.
