SpreadBSD
Hi, Guys !!! My name is Sergey Olontsev. I am 22 year old network administrator in Arkhangelsk, Russia. I really appreciate your work for FreeBSD. It's without any doubt an excellent work. So, let me say the thing why I am writing this letter to you. I want to support FreeBSD by creating and supporting the following website: SpreadBSD.com. Why ? I think we all know about success of Mozilla Firefox through SpreadFirefox.com. People know about Linux because of PR, but not all know that there is something better than Linux - it's BSD. So, the question is that I can open such a website to help people get aquainted with FreeBSD, but I first decided to ask you, cause you are the chief developers. I have resources to register domain and place to host website. I have friends who are ready to create a good resource. And we have good ideas and will to work. :-) So, I have not registered domain yet. If you want to do all that I wrote before by yourself - rememder, that my idea is BSD licensed. :-))) So guys, keep working. :-)) Sergey. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
X.org 7.0 port?
hey, all anybody knows that when will X.org 7.0 be ported to FreeBSD? I have heard that X.org 7.0 support ATI cards inclued some exciting features, say tv-out & 3D acceleration and so on. Since my video card is ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, I really wanna these new fetures on my FreeBSD :) thanks in advance -- Best Regards.

question on leaf ports
Hi gang. Does a leaf port have no build dependants or no run dependants? I want to be assured that I can remove a leaf port but not have to put it back in order to upgrade another port. Utilities such as portmaster show leaf ports and I'm not sure what it's really telling me. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Trying to build for apache 2 not apache 1
I am having trouble installing a port/package because it wants to use Apache 1.3 whereas I am running Apache 2 on the server in question. As far as I can tell, I should install by building the port rather than using the package because the package is obviously pre-compiled for Apache 1.3. Fair enough, but how can I build the port for apache 2 if there aren't any makefile options regarding apache? The port in question is php4-mysql. Skim through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.apache.mk and look at some of the variables... WITH_APACHE2, USE_APACHE, APACHE_PORT, etc... I haven't done it with php4-mysql, but with php5-extensions setting some of the above did the trick (in my case I wanted www/apache13-modssl). -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm not sure there is a way to do this for ports, other than manually
checking what's been changed and whether you consider that to be a
security upgrade, then upgrading each applicable port by hand. As far as
I understand, there is only one tag for ports ("tag=."), which gets you
the "current" ports tree. I *can* guarantee that others know more about
this than I do.
There is a port which does this for you (security/portaudit):
portaudit provides a system to check if installed ports are
listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities.
After installation it will update this security database
automatically and include its reports in the output of the
daily security run.
What is the equivalent for the base system?
Much simpler: just track RELENG_your_release to get security updates and
bug fixes and nothing else. For example, mine is RELENG_5_4 and
therefore tracks 5.4-RELEASE.
Additionally, I'd suggest subscribing to one of these mailing list so
that you are notified when a SA is issued:

--
Thanks, I do have port audit installed. I was refering to system
security. The base system + FreeBSD userland. I wanted to do this
because I did get a notice from the security list today. Do I do a make
buildworld, to update the system? Do I do this in /usr/src ?
The only thing that portaudit does is to apprise you of potential
problems. You would need to update ports (/usr/ports) to fix those
issues. I probably misunderstood your question. I'll attempt to
go into more detail.
Just so we're talking the same language, I call anything that is
built/installed from /usr/src the 'base system'. Some people break
this down into kernel+userland. Perhaps this is the userland to
which you refer.
I call anything built/installed from /usr/ports "third-party
applications" or the "ports tree". Some people also call this userland
applications.
Each one is updated independent of the other.
If you want to update the things from /usr/src (base system), refer
to the Handbook (Chapter 21 The Cutting Edge ). In particular:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
It may appear complicated because of all the explanation given there
and the different branches covered but its a pretty easy process once
you work thru it. I suggest going through the document and make
yourself a crib sheet. Here's an example of how one might
look:
cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
# READ this!!
less /usr/src/UPDATING
#If an old backup exists (/etc.old) remove it
rm -rf /etc.old
#Make a new backup of /etc
cp -Rp /etc /etc.old
adjkerntz -i
cd /usr/obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
#Check custom kernel config for changes after cvsup
#modify as needed. If using GENERIC kernel, just leave
#off the "KERNCONF=CUSTOM" part.
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
make installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
# need to be in single user mode at this point
# either reboot to single user mode according to the handbook
# or alternatively "shutdown now" according to the handbook
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
Please don't use the above as a substitute for reading the Handbook
in detail and applying it to your own situation. In all cases, the
Handbook takes precedence over the above. I also do not recommend
using a scripted approach until you are comfortable with the
process.
Note that the preceeding does not update anyting that was installed
from the ports tree (/usr/ports/...). The usual tool for doing
ports updating is sysutils/portupgrade. A typical update would
be like:
#make sure dependencies are in order before starting
#Fix any problems before starting an update.
pkgdb -F
#update the ports tree
#Note that the ports tree uses only one tag "."
#/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
#Read UPDATING
less /usr/ports/UPDATING
#Backup the package database
tar-czvf /home/username/backup_dbpkg.tgz /var/db/pkg
#Create a ports INDEX
cd /usr/ports
make index

anyone using portsman?
I'm investigating the ports management utility "portsman" but the thing seems broken. I just updated my 5.4 tree via cvsup, fetched the INDEX file (make fetchindex), and built the INDEX database INDEX.db (portsdb -u). Running portsman I get: Checking state of /usr/ports/INDEX-5...

A Question about NFS and msync
Hello all,
I am a new subscriber to the list with I guess, an old problem. I will
try to explain my setup in brief and then try to ask my question.
If this is not the proper place to ask this question please do kindly
point me to the correct mailing list.
We have got a FreeBsd 5.4 NIS server serving regular maps and autofs
maps. It has some Linux and Solaris clients.
The Linux, Solaris clients use the autofs to mount the home
directories of users as and when required.
Recently, there seems to be a problem with the NFS server of the
FreeBSD as the clients are getting all the time :
NFS server not responding still trying
and then
NFS server OK
What happenns because of this is that the clients seem to be very slow
and large file transactions will make the clients hang.
There seemed to be no problem at first but this has started recently.
The server gives the following error :
Mar 2 10:05:21 servernis rpc.statd: msync() failed: Invalid argument
and when I used ktrace and kdump on rpc.statd I got :
17135 rpc.statd RET read 0

My questions are :
1) Any way to diagnose the situation, I am monitoring the log files
and also have adjusted the time on both the machines.
2) Is the problem and the error message connected.
3) Is this a known bug ? And are there patches for it ?
4) Is there a workaround for this kind of a problem ?
Thanks,

Re: SATA Raid (stress test..)
Your performance sucks because, to quote the manual, "Input data is read and written in 512-byte blocks". Try a sensible blocksize. 16k would mimic a standard file system block, but even that is likely to underestimate. If you were, say, copying the disk to another you could easily use 1Mb. Some examples: dd if=/dev/ad10s1a of=/dev/null ^C794830+0 records in 794830+0 records out 406952960 bytes transferred in 164.049297 secs (2480675 bytes/sec) dd if=/dev/ad10s1a of=/dev/null bs=16k ^C53745+0 records in 53745+0 records out 880558080 bytes transferred in 21.092098 secs (41748245 bytes/sec) So from 2Mb/s to 41Mb/s! dd if=/dev/ad10s1a of=/dev/null bs=1m ^C933+0 records in 933+0 records out 978321408 bytes transferred in 13.836165 secs (70707556 bytes/sec) And up to 70Mb/s though nothing real world is likely to achieve that. There are a whole slew of ports (/usr/ports/benchmarks) some of which do disk tests. I've used unixbench in the past, which is a bit of a faff and does more than disks, but it works. If you run windows on the box and want graphical benchtests, then there are free apps out there that will do tests on disks, like Sandra. --Alex second tools is diskinfo, but i'm not quite happy with the result. #diskinfo -t /dev/amrd0s1d /dev/amrd0s1d 512 # sectorsize 96609024# mediasize in bytes (931G) 1953118377 # mediasize in sectors 121575 # Cylinders according to firmware. 255 # Heads according to firmware. 63 # Sectors according to firmware.

Re: Tracking Security in Ports and Base System
As an addendum: I forgot to mention that its a good idea when updating sources or ports to wrap the process in "script" so that you have a log of what was actually done. script /path/to/someplace_with_space/scriptname Then run the commands for the process involved. When you are finished then type "exit" to stop the "script" process. You will have a complete log of everything that was displayed. If you have any problems during an update, then people may ask for a log excerpt to see the actual problem.

The only thing that portaudit does is to apprise you of potential
problems. You would need to update ports (/usr/ports) to fix those
issues. I probably misunderstood your question. I'll attempt to
go into more detail.
Just so we're talking the same language, I call anything that is
built/installed from /usr/src the 'base system'. Some people break
this down into kernel+userland. Perhaps this is the userland to
which you refer.
I call anything built/installed from /usr/ports "third-party
applications" or the "ports tree". Some people also call this userland
applications.
Each one is updated independent of the other.
If you want to update the things from /usr/src (base system), refer
to the Handbook (Chapter 21 The Cutting Edge ). In particular:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
It may appear complicated because of all the explanation given there
and the different branches covered but its a pretty easy process once
you work thru it. I suggest going through the document and make
yourself a crib sheet. Here's an example of how one might
look:
cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
# READ this!!
less /usr/src/UPDATING
#If an old backup exists (/etc.old) remove it
rm -rf /etc.old
#Make a new backup of /etc
cp -Rp /etc /etc.old
adjkerntz -i
cd /usr/obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *
cd /usr/src

#make sure dependencies are in order before starting

pkgdb -F
#update the ports tree

Perhaps you can modify this segment of code to allow characters and
your dash a pound sign... at the moment it allows only letters.
if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+[_a-z0-9-]+$",$form[username])) {
$error .= "Invalid characters in Username (only a-zA-Z_-allowed)|";

apache make error sed: 1: "s,%%FTPUSERS%%,$FreeBSD ...":
Hello I am running Apache.0.53 on FreeBSD 4.11 and get this error when trying to stop Apache apachectl stop /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libexpat.so.5" not found, required by "httpd" So i searched archives and googled everywhere to find a solution but have discovered nothing. So did what i thought made sense and set out to reinstall a freshly cvsuped version of Apache. Things have changed alot since i last updated Apache. The Apache2 port has been replaced with the Apache20 port. I cannot just do a simple make deinstall and reinstall to update never the less determined to solve my problem I try a make configure on new Apache20 port which will update me to version 2.0.55. However much to my dismay the port spits out this error I tried a make and got the same error config.status: include/ap_config_auto.h is unchanged config.status: executing default commands sed: 1: "s,%%FTPUSERS%%,$FreeBSD ...": bad flag in substitute command: 'v' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/Apache.

password database error?
I rebuilt a box recently, and used pwd_mkdb to rebuild the databases using a backup of master.passwd. Along with having problems with getting saslauthd working, I seem to have stumbled on another problem that might be related. Today we had an employee quit, and I had to delete her account on the mail server. I logged onto the system, and did the following: ns1# rmuser Please enter one or more usernames: jdoe Matching password entry: jdoe:*:1010:500::0:0:John Doe:/home/jdoe:/bin/sh Is this the entry you wish to remove? y Remove user's home directory (/home/jdoe)? y Removing user (jdoe): home passwdpw: user 'jdoe' does not exist: No such file or directory . Logging in as jdoe does work, and has worked since I rebuilt the databases. There is a /home/jdoe directory. I checked, and there is a line item in master.passwd for jdoe. I ran pwd_mkdb again, but still cannot delete this user. I'm thinking that if rmuser can't verify a user, it's probably the same reason that salauthd cannot as well. Any ideas on what I have missed?

I'm not sure there is a way to do this for ports, other than manually
checking what's been changed and whether you consider that to be a
security upgrade, then upgrading each applicable port by hand. As far as
I understand, there is only one tag for ports ("tag=."), which gets you
the "current" ports tree. I *can* guarantee that others know more about
this than I do.
There is a port which does this for you (security/portaudit):
portaudit provides a system to check if installed ports are
listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities.
After installation it will update this security database
automatically and include its reports in the output of the
daily security run.
What is the equivalent for the base system?
Much simpler: just track RELENG_your_release to get security updates and
bug fixes and nothing else. For example, mine is RELENG_5_4 and
therefore tracks 5.4-RELEASE.
Additionally, I'd suggest subscribing to one of these mailing list so
that you are notified when a SA is issued:

What I don't really understand is why I can't update any timestamps on its subdirectories, even though it looks like I should be able to: $ ls -lad /usr/share/media/music drwxrws--- 4 root media 512 Mar 1 14:40 /usr/share/media/music $ touch -t 200603011234.45 /usr/share/media/music touch: /usr/share/media/music: Operation not permitted The only reason this is an issue at all is that I have a script that rsyncs my this directory tree with a similar one on my machine at work, and it throws a large number of warnings ever time the rsync command runs: $ rsync -auvx janus:/usr/share/media/music/ /usr/share/media/music/ receiving file list ... done rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/.": Operation not permitted (1) rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/albums": Operation not permitted (1) rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/singles": Operation not permitted (1) rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/.": Operation not permitted (1) rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/albums": Operation not permitted (1) rsync: failed to set times on "/usr/share/media/music/singles": Operation not permitted (1) ...

There is a port which does this for you (security/portaudit):
portaudit provides a system to check if installed ports are
listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities.
After installation it will update this security database
automatically and include its reports in the output of the
daily security run.

The main problem that Kris and I pointed out with using kernel regression testing tools is that by design the software is trying to crash the kernel. This is not so great when your testing for hardware problems. Solid state electronics will fail predictively and it will often be a complete failure in such a way that the system won't boot, you have POST errors, or a card or peripheral device just won't function correctly. This type of problem is test for before it leaves the factory. If you had such a problem it would become apparent in preliminary testing. If you can install FreeBSD and successfully complete a make buildworld session I'll put money down that you don't have this type of problem. This leaves four things to test for: memory, PSU, overheating, and mechanical failures. Overheating (and PSU): In a controlled environment overheating problems are predictable and can be directly measured. The primary goal is to get all heat producing componets at maximum output all at the same time and then use a DMM with a thermocouple to proble all the hot spots. a "make -j4 buildworld" session will stress the CPU, Chipset, and RAM but it won't stress the disk drives or the video card GPUs, I don't know how to stress the GPUs (If your you using them for vector computation). If you have a RAID array you will also need to find a method[1] to stress this because an 8 disk array can easily produce just as much heat as the CPU, if not more. RAM failures: problems with memory are random events. The only sure fire way to test ram modules without doubt is a hardware based ram testing device but if you get random buildword failures (use Kris's -j(N) to maxout main memory) it's a good bet that you have a bad ram module. PSU Problems: Like ram failures PSU failures are (semi-)random events and it's often difficult to tell which problem you have because they can both produce the same symptoms. Never skimp on a PSU!... I just can't understand why people would skimp on the most important part of a computer, without this device you have no computer and with a crappy one you have a crappy computer. Always buy the best and overspec it! Doing the thermal testing (above) will also stress the PSU. If you have random reboots when thermal testing and your system is not overheating you may have a PSU problem. Mechanical failures (disk problems): Disk problems often have a bathtub curve[2] failure rate. If a disk has not failed in the first month of use and you protect it from overheating and G-force damage their is a high probability that the drive will hit and surpass it's MTBF estimate. I stress test all my drive using MHDD32[3]. It has a simple feature that will perform random seek access tests on the disk till hell freezes over, or the drive fails. I often just connect the drive, run the test, and let it do it's thing for a few days. After this is done I run a complete functional diagnostic test on the drive and pop it into the computer if it passes. It's also useful for producing random wear patterns on disks earmarked for RAID arrays. [1] Use something like iozone, in ports: benchmarks/iozone, http://www.iozone.org/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve#Bathtub_curve [3] You can find the MHDD32 utility on the Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD). -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

MySQL - FBSD 6.0 Freezing server.
Hi all, I been getting server freezups the past two weeks, but have determined it is happening when connecting to mysql port 3306 remotely. I have a firewall, so I am only one whe can connect to port 3306. I connected this morning, and sure enough the server frooze. It frooze during the connection stage, even the LAN and WAN nicks frooze. THe only fix is to cold boot the server, keyboard is even frooze. It almost seems that mysql goes into a loop of some kind. I am using FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE and mysql 4.0.13 from ports. My IP is at the top pf the list (Along with lo0) so, firewall is not an issue. HAs anyone else had this issue? Or is there a bug report / fix that I can't find! Any help would be appreciated. -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

NDIS problems with D-Link DSL-200B1 driver

RE: Error compiling Sablotron [solved]
Sorry about the top posting but gobs of information I submitted on this little gem several months ago I thought I would reinclude it. I solved the issue. After reading through some items I did a make rmconfig and I think I even did a make rmconfig-recurive (just to make sure) then ran make and it all fell together without issue. So if anybody out there runs in to something strange like this, try doing make rmconfig and that will get rid of that particular port's configure file.

On Wed, 1 Mar 2006, Steel City Phantom wrote: I have followed every howto i can find on getting printing to work with cups. i finally gave up and plugged the printer into my windows machine and shared it there. now, my wife's Linspire machine can see it and print fine (Linspire uses kde 3.4, cups, samba share). Now my fresh new bsd 6 machine can't see the same smb share. I go add printer, SMB Shared Printer, put in the user administrator and password, click on the refresh to see all the workgroups, workgroup shows fine, open the windows server workgroup and no server. i go to a command prompt and do a smbclient -U bla -L server and i see a list of all shares, including the hidden ones and the printer i wish to print to. If i type the information in manually, then it adds the printer to cups but shows the status as stopped. I have tried every combination of this i can think of, nothing seems to work. you guys have any ideas? Yes, two: 1) You could buy one of these small ready-to-use printer servers (20 - 30 EUR around here). They will serve each computer seperately via network and - you don't need to have a whole computer up and running. 2) Most people don't know Cups can work as a printer server without the help of Samba. If you were able to set up Cups on one machine (either FreeBSD or Linux) it could serve the others (even Windows) via network.

Re: Can't seem to boot from 6.0-RELEASE

It booted fine, I got FreeBSD set up, X set up, some programs set up and sound working after going back into the BIOS and turning sound and USB and other vital stuff back on. I'm only running into a few problems, such as my BIOS complaining every time I run the bootloader about the MBR changing, and the fact that I have to use ESC instead of ALT to change windows in irssi. But nothing I can't figure out on my own. Thank you all for your help. Glad you got there. Re: MBR.

Installing freebsd 5.4 release
Hi, I have been working on linux but new to Free BSD. I am facing some problem in installing FreeBSD 5.4 release. I downloaded the following source code kame-20060220-freebsd54-snap.tar and tried to install on a machine which already has FreeBSD 5.2.1 release. But I am getting some error as follows: * ERROR: version of config(8) does not match kernel! config version = 500012, version required = 500013 Make sure that /usr/src/usr.sbin/config is in sync with your /usr/src/sys and install a new config binary before trying this again. If running the new config fails check your config file against the GENERIC or LINT config files for changes in config syntax, or option/device naming conventions I don't have the source code of FreeBSD 5.2.1 release. Please help me in resolving it.

Re: Choosing cpu type when building kernel (stupid one i know)
The kernel config file details what support is built into the kernel. However, what instruction set and how the instructions are built are dependent on the compiler options which are set in /etc/make.conf I have: CPUTYPE=pentium4 In one server that has a Pentium 4's /etc/make.conf so gcc builds everything using the full Pentium 4 instruction set. -Derek At 01:13 AM 3/1/2006, Steel City Phantom wrote: in bsd 6, i have to recompile the kernel to add atapicam. ok, fine. the part of the config file that gets me is this: machine i386 cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU ident GENERIC the machine i386, i get. all intel PC's since the 386 have used a common basic instruction set and the developers just want to build in something in case intel pulls an Apple Computer on us. the rest is what i don't understand. 486 isn't mentioned in the NOTES file, 586 is just pentium, and 686 is pentium pro. I have a P4 1.4 gig intel chip in my system, what should these settings be? if i remove 486 and 686 does that give me any performance advantage or are these settings defaults because they are ment to be defaults and i should just be quiet about it. ___ 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]"
