Invalid partition table after installation
I've tried the modern BIOS geometry and the 255 head geometry. I've ensured that the first slice (boot slice) is smaller than 1.5 Gb. I've tried to figure out what the BIOS thinks the geometry is, but it doesn't seem to want to tell me. At least, I can't find it in the BIOS menu anywhere. When I boot from the CD-ROM with the 255 head geometry, though, it complains about the disk geometry, saying 16h,63s != 255h,63s or something like that - it flies by pretty fast (is there a way to go back and see that from the CD-ROM boot only boot?). I'm using the Standard boot manager, and the entire disk is devoted to FreeBSD.

Just send mail to henry.ol...@gmail.com If you encrypt everything on disk and make sure the machine is powered off any time you leave it, there is not much else you can do to protect it from physical access. That is, if someone can get their grubby little fingers on it, there is little you can do to absolutely prevent them from getting to the data. If they have physical access, they have the same tools you do. There are things such as putting on a BIOS password and encrypting everything and powering it off when it is not in your hands that can make it more difficult, but nothing that totally prevents seeing your stuff.You could remove the hard disk and take it with you everywhere. The only complete security is never to store your data anywhere - on a computer, on paper, even in your head -- you might talk in your sleep.

Unique id of a process (not pid)
Hello, Is there any unique identifier of a process in FreeBSD (not PID)? I am trying to get list of processes and watch for changes with kvm_getprocs(). I want to catch every process start and exit (except those processes that were started and finished between calls to kvm_getprocs()). But between calls to this function one process may exit and be replaced with another process with the same pid and same command name. The only difference is a start time of processes. Looks like this is a solution, but process start time may change if system time was shifted (i. e. with ntpdate). I can track these shifts too, but it looks to be too complex. Is there any simpler way to identify a process? Thanks in advance. -- // cronfy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Recommendations for NICs?
Personally, I've had the best success with fxp and em cards (Intel), and the worst with broadcom-based on-board nics, but have tried and worked with many different cards over the years on FreeBSD. Hands-down though, I prefer Intel's NIC offerings. IIRC - Intel contributed to the development and supports the fxp driver too, so I've always tried to send my business to the vendor which supports my specific use of their product rather than the one which expects me or requires me to rely solely on the reverse-engineering and support of the open-source community to figure it out themselves. To me, I feel a whole lot 'safer' with the knowledge that the hardware manufacturer knows and understands my application better than the next guy (cough* insert plug for Apple anyone?). Just my opinion and experience though - I offer no technical merit as I've honestly not bothered to try anything else in recent years (habitually stick with what works I guess). -- Nathan Vidican nat...@vidican.com On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 12:27 PM, John j...@starfire.mn.org wrote: This used to be a hot topic long ago, but now seems to have become rather dormant.

With wdm, the listening is possible but I cannot start the X server even if the server alone is perfectly working and if it is correctly started by xdm.

If you're talking about AIM or ICQ, it seems that AOL has changed the way servers handle logins so that the previous method doesn't exactly work properly any longer. There's a work-around that involves opening up the Edit Account dialog for the AIM or ICQ account in question, clicking on the Advanced tab in that dialog, and unchecking the Use clientLogin checkbox there. The potential security implications of this work-around are still being explored, and the Pidgin people are apparently trying to get AOL to clarify its best practices recommendation for how to handle logins, but in the meantime this work-around might help solve the problem you're having with logins. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpqokxnZCX7R.pgp Description: PGP signature
mfsbsd Makefile
I would like to enable a serial tty login when running
the mfsbsd suite. I thought I could just copy /etc/ttys in to
mfsbsd-1.0-beta3/conf but the etc/ttys file shows ttyu0 as
dialup off secure My ttys file has it vt100 on insecure
I probably should make that secure since one does log in
directly as root. The Makefile has the following line pertaining
to ttys:
@${SED} -I -E 's/\(ttyv[2-7].*\)on /\1off/g' ${WRKDIR}/mfs/etc/ttys
This looks like it should not even effect ttyu0. Any ideas as to
how to get ttyu0 to come out the way I am trying to set it.
Everything else seems to work correctly. I am getting
the configured interfaces and can ssh in to the root account so
it is almost the way I want it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I am trying to get list of processes and watch for changes with kvm_getprocs(). I want to catch every process start and exit (except those processes that were started and finished between calls to kvm_getprocs()). But between calls to this function one process may exit and be replaced with another process with the same pid and same command name. The only difference is a start time of processes. Looks like this is a solution, but process start time may change if system time was shifted (i. e. with ntpdate). I can track these shifts too, but it looks to be too complex. Is there any simpler way to identify a process? Thanks in advance.

Loader, MBR and the boot process
I recently found a nifty FreeBSD ZFS root installation script and been reworking it a bit to suit my needs better, including changing it from GPT to MBR partitioning. However, I was stumped, even though I had done everything right (or so I thought), the system would get stuck at Loader and refuse to go anywhere. After trying over a dozen different things, it downed on me to change the partition order inside the slice, I had 1) swap 2) freebsd-zfs and for the test, I got rid of swap altogether and gave the entire slice to the freebsd-zfs partition. Suddenly, my problem went away and the system booted just fine. So it seems that Loader requires that the partition containing the files vital to the boot is the first partition on the slice and that swap first, then the rest doesn't work. The thing is, I am absolutely positive that in the past, I've had sysinstall created installs using MBR partitioning and that I had swap as my first partition inside the slice and that it all worked dandy. Has this changed at some point? Oh, and for the curious the installation script is here: http://jago.pp.fi/zfsmbrv1-works.sh - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Unless by swap first you meant the on-disk location, and not the

is Konqueror the only browser that has festival capability? by which i mean, the browsers can use kttsd? one of my favorite browsers is links -G [GRaphical mode]. i know there are ways to add many, many things; i don't think it knows how to do streaming video, but then that is more involved that the ktts daemon. by default, i cannot get Konqueror to do NPR's or BBC's builtin streaming audio same with PBS and its video streams. can anybody help me to find one browser to do everything? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Recommendations for NICs?

I have one of these: Pro/1000 GT Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82546EB) It has worked perfectly, with one tertiary exception that happened due to a (non-FreeBSD related) driver change: for some reason, DHCP tries to send packets before the driver decides it's ready to accept them. This causes a 30-60 second delay during startup, but afterwards everything is fine.

Hi,
I recently found a nifty FreeBSD ZFS root installation script and

probably this line is the cause:
dd if=/mnt2/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/${TARGETDISK}s1a skip=1 seek=1024
Unless by swap first you meant the on-disk location, and not the
partition letter. If swap is partition a, you're writing the loader
into swapspace.

At first you made me feel silly, but then I decided to double-check, I
uncommented the swap line in the partitioning part again, ensured I
was writing the bootloader to ${TARGETDISK}s1b and ran the script.
Same problem, hangs at loader. Again, if I comment out the swap,
giving the entire slice to ZFS and then write the bootloader to
${TARGETDISK}s1a, run the script, everything works.

I have also just tested creating 2 slices, like this:
gpart create -s mbr ${TARGETDISK}
gpart add -s 3G -t freebsd ${TARGETDISK}
gpart create -s BSD ${TARGETDISK}s1
gpart add -t freebsd-swap ${TARGETDISK}s1
gpart add -t freebsd ${TARGETDISK}
gpart create -s BSD ${TARGETDISK}s2
gpart add -t freebsd-zfs ${TARGETDISK}s2
gpart set -a active -i 2 ${TARGETDISK}
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/boot0 ${TARGETDISK}
and later:
dd if=/mnt2/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/${TARGETDISK}s2 count=1
dd if=/mnt2/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/${TARGETDISK}s2a skip=1 seek=1024
Putting the swap into it's own slice and then putting FreeBSD into
it's own slice worked fine. So why the hell can't they both coexist in
1 slice if the swap comes first?
