Making a PF Rule that i can process with a graphing application
Hello, i would like to monitor my Network Card`s load using Zabbix (like nagios, but cooler IMO) , and someone has suggested to make a Rule in ipfw like ipfw count in me out !me via re0 , which he then can process with zabbix agent. The problem is, i dont use ipfw, but pf, and i dont know how a rule like that could look like using pf. Can anyone help me out?

Issue with fonts in firefox following gnome upgrade...
Hello list, I'm having some issues with font handling in Firefox following the 2.16 gnome/gtk+ upgrade. The issue is the same with the following set ups: Desktop - Firefox 1.5.0.7 on 6.1-RELEASE p10 with xfce-4.2.3.2 Laptop - Firefox 2.0 on 6.2-PRERELEASE with xfce-4.2.3.2 On each machine I have the MS core fonts installed via the x11-fonts/webfonts port. Before the gnome upgrade, firefox made use of these font afterwards it doesn't seem to. This is most visible in the tabbed titlebar where it's now using an ugly (although anti-aliased) bold font - but it's also noticeable in the fonts used to render web pages. These fonts are still available to X (I can see them in other apps - eg. gVIM or Abiword, and can see no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log). I followed the procedure in /usr/ports/UPDATING to upgrade (ie. portupgrade -rf pkg-config\*). If I start firefox from the command line, it starts OK but spits out this message: GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process /usr/local/libexec/gconfd-2 (Invalid argument) What was in the upgrade of gnome/gtk+ that might change the fonts used by/available to Firefox? And how can I reverse it? Thanks for any thoughts. Peter Harrison ** This document is strictly confidential and is intended only for use by the addressee.

IPv6/IPv4 problems?
I have some problems that seem to be related to the interoperation of ipv4 client programs and ipv6 servers or the other way round. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE.

When connecting to mysql from the server running mysql via the mysql client program everything works as expected. When connecting from a remote machine running ipv4 via both the mysql clent program and via JDBC again everything works as expected. When connecting from the server running mysql via JDBC I get the exception: com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception: java.net.SocketException: java.netConnectionException: Connection refused Jetty (org.mortbay.org) --- When running jetty as a servelet engine/web server at the FreeBSD machine. I cannot connect to the server from a remote machine running IPv4. Via netstat I can see that jetty runs as a tcp6 server only. SVN (subversion.tigirs.org) --- Originally I had a simular problem connecting to svn from a ipv4 machine, when svn was running as a tcp6 server. Via a strange startup option (--listen-host=0.0.0.0) I could force svn to run as tcp4. And connection from the remote host worked fine. Tomcat I installed tomcat 5.5.20 from the BSD port.

Re: MAC OS X connection to FreeBSD?
Thanks everyone for the replay to my post as it did finally occur to me that perhaps this question had been asked on the mailing list, but unfortunately it occurred to me after I sent it. So, basically the Apple team took FreeBSD and the CM micro-kernel, combined them, made some improvements and added some additional code and then used it all as the MAC OS X core (without the GUI of course)? With this being said, then does anyone have any experience with the stability and performance?

RE: accessing BIOS and RAID info on old Compaqs
dn, 1. You probably already know this but technically, you should have started with the Compaq Smart Start CDs. There's a Unix option on there too but I've never used it so I'm not sure what the difference is specifically (never loaded BSD or Linux on those). This would have taken you through the process of setting the system clock, configuring the RAID array(s), etc. 2. If there are BSD/Linux tools available, you should be able to d/l them from HP or they may be on the Compaq CDs. BTW, you say you don't have the CDs for *all* the machines in question. In my experience with our since retired ProLiant 5500s, 1850s, ML330s, and ML350s, I've found that they can all use (and work the best with) the newer CD I have which is Compaq SmartStart for Servers - Release 5.0.

After that bringing up more apps on the system doesn't seem to make the free memory any smaller. I checked top and vmstat -m, vmstat -z and can't see where all that memory is going. Does freebsd use memory for disk caching that is not accounted for in these stats? Thanks in advance for any help.

Roselyn not to worry, the less free memory, the better. the memory that you cannot see where it goes, is likely cached for application, and would be freed if something else really needed it. the less free memory you see, the quicker your server can react to a request. unless your server is getting into significant swap usage, i would consider little to no free memory available a good thing. cheers, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 6.1 Installation problem
I have an onboard Intel ICH7-M SATA controller with an SATA hard drive and cdrom connected to it. I am unable to install FreeBSD onto the harddrive. According to the FreeBSD website ICH7 has been supported since version 6.0 I have tried putting the controller in Legacy Mode and tried turning turned DMA off in on boot. I have tested both of my SATA ports on the motherboard to make sure they both work with an alternate operating system (Windows) and they both worked. I have also installed the harddrive in another computer and installed FreeBSD on it successfully and then (after testing it and booting successfully on that computer) put it in the machine I am having the problems with only to have it start booting and then error out with harddrive errors. During boot I get this error: ad0: FAILURE -READ_DMA48 status=ffBUSY, READY,DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECTABLE,INDEX,ERROR error=0 LBA=390721967 During install the error I get is Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0s1e on /mnt/tmp : Input/output error ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=ffBUSY,READY, DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECTABLE,INDEX,ERROR error=0 LBA=9303631 Anyone have any ideas?

pf working but no log
Hello, I configured the pf utility on FBSD 6.1 stable.

I was not able to start mail session on port 25 (good) but nothing was saved in the log (bad). Of course I reloaded the conf file with rules before I did the test.

Thanks all. ~BAS That's easy. 1) Disable (or really, don't enable) console redirection in BIOS SETUP. 2) Put on the kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 We do 99% of our kernel debugging this way. -- Brian A.

Re: portupgrade forget package options
Today I found the CPU is drained up by 5 instances of script and dialog, because everyday when portupgrade updates python, it tried to display a menu in text mode and ask for a few options (such as whether python should support IPv6 etc), which of course hangs in cron job. Some ports have a config make target which will save options. For ports that do not, you can use pkgtools.conf and set MAKE_ARGS for that port. It may be that a port was modified to support the config target, but you have not yet run make config for it. It should remember the options after you make config and select the options you want included/excluded.

Re: MAC OS X connection to FreeBSD?
On Nov 6, 2006, at 3:48 AM, Lonnie Cumberland wrote: Thanks everyone for the replay to my post as it did finally occur to me that perhaps this question had been asked on the mailing list, but unfortunately it occurred to me after I sent it. So, basically the Apple team took FreeBSD and the CM micro-kernel, combined them, made some improvements and added some additional code and then used it all as the MAC OS X core (without the GUI of course)? As others have discussed, the Apple devs took the FreeBSD userland and CM micro-kernel, combined them, provided quite a few bug fixes via debugging, and have continued to work with the BSD community in an effort to better support many things in BSD, some being Apple hardwire, others being Apple endorsed technologies (firewire, bluetooth, USB, etc). With this being said, then does anyone have any experience with the stability and performance? Yes, millions of users as David Kelley said, and I personally must say that OSX is a solid OS for user applications. That is based not only on the fact that Apple develops alongside the opensource/BSD community and that the majority of their applications are developed in-house, but it is also because Apple works with limited vendors and hardware, and tests the heck out of their systems before releasing them onto market. So, they control the ubiquity of their products in a sense and can guarantee a higher level of service in most cases. My guess is that if it is really based upon FreeBSD then the performance should be pretty good from my readings about FreeBSD compared to other operating systems. Again though, FreeBSD is a solid platform and it is well developed, based upon its completeness and design, user community, and developer community, when compared to many other OSes.

Resetting disabled USB port
Hello, I've been attempting to get the moto4lin utility (moto4lin.sourceforge.net) working under FreeBSD (6.0-RELEASE, if it matters). It compiles no problem, and running seems to be fine, other than not yet being able to communicate with my Motorola PEBL U6 cell phone. The ucom (and umodem?) interfaces are used to establish connectivity. I want to attempt debugging the problem communicating with the phone, however the kernel shuts down the USB port on me whenver I unplug the phone: Nov 1 21:17:18 abigail kernel: ucom0: Motorola Inc.

(no subject)
Hi, First, I want to join the lists that you think are best for a highly knowledgable and experienced PC/Windows user who knows little about unix. Would you be so kind as to guide me, please? I've selected freebsd for a number of reasons and purchased the power pack that contains 6.1. The install moves flawlessly to fdisk, but I don't understand the screen print and options that the installation files offer when time to select where to install bsd. this workstation has two intallations of XP and a windows boot manager for selecting them. Under no circumstances can we afford for this to be disturbed (at least until we can finally get rid of windows forever!g). The box drives are three 73 gig SAS' in a raid configuration. We also don't want to disturb this. I've put in an adaptec 2940 and a 146 gig SCSI drive...and this is the drive I want to install bsd on and play with it to learn, but the installation process does not appear to tell me how to install on this drive only..and whether or not if I also install BSD's boot manager, I may disturb the one windows is offering already. How may I quickly get some help to understand the screen prints about the drives (they do not appear in the install function in any form resembling the numbers or sizes of drives this box actually has) and learn how to install this and get a boot option but without effecting the windows boot manager already there, please? I really appreciate your time.. thank you.

Re: php5 issue
I find it kind of weird that people click right through `make config' without reading it. Actually, the apache module was the default until recently. I normally set any non-defaut options in pkgtools.conf and keep things upgraded with portinstall/upgrade. The change caught me as well. (BATCH=YES) Granted the fix was in 20060506 UPDATING, which should be the first place to go if something goes amiss during an upgrade. However, there have been a number of changes to the php family of ports that impacted people who already had the port installed. I only wish that when these types of changes are made to a popular port that the maintainer would explain the reason for the pain -- due to the quality of the work done by the port maintainers (excellent, in my opinion) I assume it was for a good reason -- I just wish I was smart enough to figure out why or that they would note it, so I could read it and be smarter for it. g -Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For ports that do not, you can use pkgtools.conf and set MAKE_ARGS for that port. I know the answer is probably going to be one of: a) you have the source; b) it's too hard; c) you can already do it by ; but I would very much like to see an option added to portupgrade like the -F/--fetch-only option for fetching distfiles, which would run any config target (recursing to required/dependent packages according to flags), and then stop. It could be called something like --configure, and abbreviated -j (mnemonic jumpstart: I'm reaching, since portupgrade is running out of meaningful single-letter options), and used like: portupgrade -Nj # jumpstart config dialogs for port and requirements portupgrade -F # fetch distfile(s) portupgrade -NR # install/upgrade ports and requirements, unattended This would allow ports and their requirements/dependents to be configured interactively at the first step, and compiled/installed unattended at the last step.
