The standard gcc is a few generations old. [snip error output] Hello, I'm using clang ;-) But I also tried gcc45. After I installed xerces-c version 3.1.1 from the Apache project in referred ISIS to take libs iand includes from the new installation path, I had success, but only a partial one.

I tried several compilers, all fail due to the wrong xerces-c library. The new USGS software package expects version 3.1.1 of xerces-c. Simply installing the new xerces-c library by compiling, installing to another path and referring to the new lib path etc. doesn't work properly, since there are some conflicts with the original installed xerces-c2 2.7 library. I had to deinstall xerces-c2 package from the ports first, compile and install ISIS3, then reinstall xerces-c2 since it is neccessary by some other important ports we've installed. Xalan-c is also a candidate relying on xerces-c2, and a prerequisite for ISIS3, but so far, I did not recognize any conflicts or misbehaviour. But this is still a worse situation.

CPIO compatibility with Freebsd 8[.1]
Hi all. I recently noticed that I could not extract a cpio archive that I have on my Freebsd 8.0 machine. I thought that the archive might be corrupt so I compared the md5sum to a backup that I have and it was fine. I then tried to extract the archive on Freebsd 7.2 and it extracted without problems. I then tried on a Freebsd 8.1 system and I get the errors again. My archive is actually the output of a nanobsd build that someone created for me. So as root I do cpio -i ../_.fsimg And as the output shows it can't create many files. usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.py: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.py' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyo: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyo' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyc: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/__init__.pyc' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.py: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.py' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyo: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyo' usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyc: Can't create 'usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/tests/support.pyc' [snip] Does anyone know why this might be happening?

But on the other hand they don't follow most GNU Conventions either to them, it's a logical order of things, in some ways that's good, but it's hard to get used to. Gentoo is probably the closest thing to *BSD on many aspects. Most notable is portage. It functions just like Ports but doesn't rely on BSD Makefiles but Gentooized BASH scripts. The fundamental principles are the same though. In some regards you could relate Slackware's binary packages to FreeBSD's binary package system but not nearly as well developed. Slackware packages are almost never up to date and are oft times broke in some way. There is also no dependency checking in Slackware. Portage at least does that for you. IIRC Arch Documentation was flaky (or at least it was a few years ago when I felt the need to play with it). If your looking for a Binary Base and build your own apps on top of that, you can check out Slackware.

Problems Hooking Sudoers into PAM/LDAP
Hey list!! I am attempting to solve a rather thorny issue and I was
hoping that someone might have some insight into what is going on
here..
At this point I have an openLDAP server that is working quite splendidly! :)
I have a working directory with users able to authenticate it and TLS
turned on and it is ALL happening through PAM!! Well almost all of
it..
The one sticking point I am currently having is getting sudoers to
authenticate against LDAP.
The server is FreeBSD 8.1 but the clients are all CentOS 5.4.
Although, knowing this shouldn't make much difference in how this
works AFAIK. On the client I have my /etc/ldap.conf file setup like
this:
URI ldap://ldap.acadaca.net/
BASE dc=acadaca,dc=net
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
pam_login_attribute uid
pam_lookup_policy yes
pam_passwordexop
nss_base_passwd ou=staff,dc=acadaca,dc=net
sudoers_debug 2
I have added the user I am testing to a couple of groups (two regular
DNs and one posixGroup) all of which had the sudoRole objectClass in
the hopes that this might be related to the issue:
46 cn=%sa,ou=sudoers,ou=Services,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: sudoRole
cn: %sa
sudoHost: ALL
sudoRunAsUser: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
sudoOption: !authenticate
sudoUser: %sa
sudoUser: bluethundr
50 cn=role1,ou=sudoers,ou=Services,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role1
sudoUser: bluethundr
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
51 cn=sa,ou=Group,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: sa
userPassword: {crypt}*
gidNumber: 20004
However that didn't seem to do the trick. When I do attempt to sudo
from the client machine this is what I see on the command line:
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#sudo bash
[sudo] password for bluethundr:
bluethundr is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#sudo -l
[sudo] password for bluethundr:
Sorry, user bluethundr may not run sudo on VIRCENT03.
Also I notice that the client can't seem to find it's groups stored in
LDAP even tho I would think that system auth would point sudoers
to them just as it does sshd and su.
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#groups bluethundr
id: cannot find name for group ID 1002
I am not entirely sure that this is a separate issue, honestly but I
think it may be related.
The other pam services I am working with, su and sshd, trigger events
in the openldap logs on the server. Everything is going smoothly with
these services, apparently:
In the openldap logs on the server here is a sample of what I see:
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: bdb_search_candidates: id=1 first=54 last=54
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = test_filter

Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = test_filter_and

Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: EQUALITY
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = access_allowed: search access to

Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = acl_get: [1] attr objectClass
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = acl_mask: access to entry
uid=bluethundr,ou=sa,ou=staff,dc=acadaca,dc=net, attr objectClass

Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = acl_mask: to value by , (=0)

granted by read(=rscxd)
More complete logs that I hope will provide a bit more context can be
found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/openldap.txt
What I've done was clear the openldap logs with an echo
statement just before sudoing to root on the client. Honestly, I wish
I was better at parsing these log files but unfortunately I'm not
quite there as of yet. :(
Back on the client side I see this noticeable event, amongst quite a
lot of successful pam events in the secure log:
Nov 9 15:37:39 VIRCENT03 sudo: bluethundr : user NOT in sudoers ;
TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/bluethundr ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/bash
A more complete version of the secure log can be found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/securelogs.txt
And lastly a copy of the schema that I am working with can be found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/schema.txt

At any rate, I am attempting to solve a rather thorny issue and I was
hoping that someone might have some insight into what is going on
here..
At this point I have an openLDAP server that is working quite splendidly! :)
I have a working directory with users able to authenticate it and TLS
turned on and it is ALL happening through PAM!! Well almost all of
it..
The one sticking point I am currently having is getting sudoers to
authenticate against LDAP.
The server is FreeBSD 8.1 but the clients are all CentOS 5.4.
Although, knowing this shouldn't make much difference in how this
works AFAIK. On the client I have my /etc/ldap.conf file setup like
this:
URI ldap://ldap.acadaca.net/
BASE dc=acadaca,dc=net
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
pam_login_attribute uid
pam_lookup_policy yes
pam_passwordexop
nss_base_passwd ou=staff,dc=acadaca,dc=net
sudoers_debug 2
I have added the user I am testing to a couple of groups (two regular
DNs and one posixGroup) all of which had the sudoRole objectClass in
the hopes that this might be related to the issue:
46 cn=%sa,ou=sudoers,ou=Services,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: sudoRole
cn: %sa
sudoHost: ALL
sudoRunAsUser: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
sudoOption: !authenticate
sudoUser: %sa
sudoUser: bluethundr
50 cn=role1,ou=sudoers,ou=Services,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: sudoRole
objectClass: top
cn: role1
sudoUser: bluethundr
sudoHost: ALL
sudoCommand: ALL
51 cn=sa,ou=Group,dc=acadaca,dc=net
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: sa
userPassword: {crypt}*
gidNumber: 20004
However that didn't seem to do the trick. When I do attempt to sudo
from the client machine this is what I see on the command line:
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#sudo bash
[sudo] password for bluethundr:
bluethundr is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#sudo -l
[sudo] password for bluethundr:
Sorry, user bluethundr may not run sudo on VIRCENT03.
Also I notice that the client can't seem to find it's groups stored in
LDAP even tho I would think that system auth would point sudoers
to them just as it does sshd and su.
[bluethu...@vircent03:~]#groups bluethundr
id: cannot find name for group ID 1002
I am not entirely sure that this is a separate issue, honestly but I
think it may be related.
The other pam services I am working with, su and sshd, trigger events
in the openldap logs on the server. Everything is going smoothly with
these services, apparently:
In the openldap logs on the server here is a sample of what I see:
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: bdb_search_candidates: id=1 first=54 last=54
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = test_filter

Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = acl_mask: [1] mask: read(=rscxd)
Nov 9 14:03:56 ldap slapd[31269]: = access_allowed: search access
granted by read(=rscxd)
More complete logs that I hope will provide a bit more context can be
found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/openldap.txt
What I've done was clear the openldap logs with an echo
statement just before sudoing to root on the client. Honestly, I wish
I was better at parsing these log files but unfortunately I'm not
quite there as of yet. :(
Back on the client side I see this noticeable event, amongst quite a
lot of successful pam events in the secure log:
Nov 9 15:37:39 VIRCENT03 sudo: bluethundr : user NOT in sudoers ;
TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/bluethundr ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/bash
A more complete version of the secure log can be found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/securelogs.txt
And here is my (surprisingly verbose) sudo -V output:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/sudov.txt
And lastly a copy of the schema that I am working with can be found here:
http://ldap.acadaca.net/docs/schema.txt

How do we like our base kerberos? Will it flee soon?
Hi, I'm looking for workarounds for this crappy situation which currently prevents FreeBSD8 from working together with libgssapi (see kern/147454) and multiple threads on -questions. What i tried: - Use old RELENG_8 and RELENG_8_1 sources where Benjamin's patch still applied. (Can't build world then). - Modify /usr/bin/krb5-config to include -lgssapi_spnego -lgssapi_krb5 at the right place (works on some machines). What i didn't try: - Use the port. How are you handling this situation. Does anyone know a cvs tag= and date= combination which lets you build world with Benjamin's patch (tried RELENG_8 and _8_1 from 24.6 and 19.7 and now)? Actually a complete base kerberos would be much appreciated. best regards, Leon pgpNaCkW0QB3v.pgp Description: PGP signature

IF your needs are met =entirely= by the provided operations, great. If not, you're dead in the water, without any way to accomplish the task. How is this different from the command line? If I have a set of data and want to sort it in a way that sort doesn't have an argument for, I'm just as dead in the water as with the GUI. In fact, with the GUI I am probably better off because I can see that this is not supported within the program, without having to use the documentation. I don't know how anyone who has done much automation could say such a thing. Command lines and pipes offer an exponentially greater set of possibilities than could ever be presented in a GUI. I don't know about others, but I spent many years being pro-GUI. I led the charge for getting software companies to port their applications to Windows and use IDEs for development. It is only recently that I have come to my senses. I should have known better. Back in the 80s when I worked on tax preparation software, the marketing department wanted a more demoable UI. So we put a ton of time into creating an interface that looked like the IRS forms, instead of the one we had where the user keyed in a code that indicated what line on what form they wanted to input, followed by the input itself. When we released this, the marketing department loved it, our customers' higher-ups thought it was nice, but the actual input operators hated it. They were evaluated on how much data they could enter, not on their enjoyment of the task. GUIs are great for the casual user, because they provide a consistent 'lookfeel' acrross the spectrum of apps available under them, and, _generally_ what you learn from using one application 'generalizes' to any other app that runs under the same GUI. OTOH, a GUI is the worst thing in the world for 'production' use. It absolutely _kills_ productivity for production tasks. Automation for productivity _REQUIRES_ a complete/comprehensive command language. With a command language, you can 'automate' a series of operations by simply listing the commands in a file, and feeding that file to the command-processor input. With a GUI there is no way to describe the series of mouse 'motions'/'clicks'/ 'double-clicks'/'drags' and keypresses required to perform an operation. 'screen coordinates' are meaningless when a window, or icon, or button, may be 'repositioned' at will. An _individual_ application may allow scripting via an internal command language, but since it is internal to the app, and *not* part of the GUI, it doesn't 'generalize' (no guarantee that similar capability is present in any other app) *AND* is utterly worthless for 'automating' annything that involves more than the single app. The CLI doesn't generalize either. How many ways are there to get input into a program? Some can open files on their own and the file is listed as an argument (app input) Some have a flag for input, which of course isn't consistent (app -in input) Some have multiple flags for input, but which ones work depends on the platform/implementation (such as GNU long flags) Some need it provided to stdin Some can process multiple types of input and are smart enough to figure it out on their own while others need to be told what format they are being given Some can do multiple unrelated things in one instance (file a b) while others can't (date +%H +%M) Some have historic idiosyncrasies, such as tar defaulting to a tape drive Some have other strangeness, like java using aaa.class as input but wanting you to list it without the .class extension, whilst javac needs the .java extension Some are just unusual for no obvious reason, like dd's xx=yy thing etc. On the other hand, 99% of GUI apps that handle files have a File Open dialog that is provided via a toolkit and works the same everywhere. Years ago, I worked at a place that, among other things, produced a reference manual of statistical data for our cusotmers. About 800 pages of tabular data, practically all of it updated on a staggered, monthly basis. In the 'early' days (MS-DOS vintage, before 'windows'), each table was kept in a separate spreadsheet, which _did_ require the redundant entry of a _small_ amount of the data. OTOH two (or more) differnt people could be updatdin different paes simultaneously, regardless of whether or not they were 'related'. And, at the end of the week, when it was time to send out the weeks 'updates' to the customers, we had a simple little '.BAT file, each line of which; (a) invoked the spreadsheet (b) specified the spreadsheet file to use, and (c) invoked a 'start-up macro' that

UFS Snapshots and iowait
I have started using mount -u -o snapshot as part of my backup process in order to have a week worth of local differential backups to allow quick and easy recovery of lost/overwritten/etc files. The snapshot of the partition (~250G and 2.3 million inodes used. ~10GB of data change per day) takes around 10 minutes to complete. During the first 5 minutes everything seems to be find, but during the second 5 minutes the Apache processes that are logging to this drive start building up in L (logging) state until they hit MaxClients. Is this just due to the very high io bandwidth usage associated with making a snapshot, or does the creation of this snapshot completely block IO writes for around 5 minutes? Any suggested workarounds? I already bumped up the number of Apache slots to 166% but it looks like I would have to increase the number much more to use that as a primary solution. ___ 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

The docs had big missing chunks which I tried to get clarification on and got some help and then it just one day stopped Well, speaking of those like me, following the official statements of the PR units of HW venodrs like AMD and others, did not realize this. I never read before about this sudden stop on any list. Yes, I realize sometimes that things, even the great HW venodrs claim, are not that what they claim to be when shdding light on this. But until this second I believed AMD opened their specs for the community. Well, maybe the trigger of opening the specs where a result of AMDs desastrous downfall after 2006, so today, after they got both feet on terra firma again, they may decide acting different ... There is OpenCL as an open standard Try to find the validation test suite.. ($$$) Your point, I must confess. , there is the CLANG/LLVM project even for FreeBSD Apple licenses it and doesn't publish all opencl work. (or I think may not even contribute to the opencl side at all anymore.. someone correct me) Isn't OpenCL maintained by the Khronos Group? Apple, for instance, develop their own stuff on the basis of OpenCL and LLVM, but they do not publish back to the community, that's right. But this shouldn't be an excuse for the lack of support. to become the new standard compiler and, not at last, there is work done on drivers for AMD graphics boards but there is no, not even rudimentary, support for GPGPU. I preferr a clean open source solution, but at the moment, it seems to be the best and easiest path to switch to an operating system that is fully supported, even 64 bit. Side question - Why care in the least bit about AMD? Their hw sucks and their software is a joke.. (if you bought Evergreen I'm sorry..) Well, look at my first statement. Until now I believe and believed AMD offered more than others of their 3D specs to the open source community, to provide support to real open source GPU drivers. Obviously this isn't true anymore. But why hasn't this been made public? AMD earns a lot of money even from those people like me which remain in the strong believing that they made their contribution to the open source OS community. But at the moment, looking at my hardware running FreeBSD, I realize that I have more and better running hardware based on nVidia and their BLOB than hardware based on AMD. But this is individual. There's no such thing as a complete open source GPGPU solution as of today (to the best of my knowledge) Well, not completely open source, but there is an nVidia CUDA solution even for 64 Bit Linux and none for FreeBSD! And as far as I know, I can use it for free - assuming I run a supported Linux. ./C Oliver ___ 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

Side question - Why care in the least bit about AMD? Their hw sucks and their software is a joke.. (if you bought Evergreen I'm sorry..) By the way - way is the hardware crap? Can you please be more specific? AMD claims to have a higher effective double precision throughput than nVidia, they also claim not having cut off most of their double precision capable facilities like nVidia even on their mass market products (but I'm not sure about that since this fact is very often hidden by intention). Their software doesn't really matter since I most FreeBSD users use the open source driver. Well, I never saw a working 64 bit capable driver on FreeBSD, that's right. Please do not understand this as a tricky question, I'm serious, since I plan to purchase new hardware for my computer at home (FreeBSD) and even for my lab's computer(s). And by the way, no, I havn't bought 'Evergreen', I have much more disappointing HD4830 and not properly working HD4770 and HD4670 ... (not GPGPU capable by design).

GPT Question
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Firstly, hello list. This is my first post here and while I'm a long time Linux user, I'm a recent FreeBSD convert so please bear with me. Yesterday I installed an extra hard drive that used to be in a Windows 7 box. In sysinstall I ran fdisk then label to try to get the disk ready. The problem was that even though after I hit 'w' and it didn't give any errors, when I did a `ls /dev/ad*` it was still showing the old partitions, even after a reboot. I tried running fdisk manually and a few other things I found on Google but they all seemed to just be silently failing since they never showed an error but the changes never really went into effect. When I was first building out this box I had an issue partitioning the disks but the behavior was different in that it errored with messages about not being able to commit or write the changes to disk. That issue turned out to be with some GPTs on the drive which I was able to remove in Linux with parted. Anyway, I figured that there was a chance that this might be a GPT issue since this drive came form the same machine as the other. I couldn't remember what command I had run and didn't feel like pulling the drive into another machine so I just ran `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad12 bs=512` and let it run. That must have done the trick because I was then able to partition the disk in sysinstall and all is well. What I'm wondering is what really went on here? I'm not clear at all as to why FreeBSD (or some mechanism within this installation) isn't able to handle this. Or was this a GPT issue at all? I'd like to find out what was going on so that I don't chase my tail again on issues like this in the future.

I'd like to find out what was going on so that I don't chase my tail again on issues like this in the future. Thanks. I don't know if this may, or may not, be strictly a GPT issue. I had a drive fail and the one I pulled out of the junk box for temporary use had FreeBSD 6.2 on it. Somewhere between 7 and 8,1 there was some kind of change where the old mbr or partition table was invisible to the new system, and hence you couldn't write out to it because as far as the new system was concerned it wasn't there. I suspect that other format incompatibilities such as what I experienced can be caused by other forms of previous mbr/partitioning data as well, and your experience would fall in this category. For me the magic incantation was to boot a LiveFS 'fixit' (the fixit shell in sysinstall works the same) and zero out the mbr. This first command gives you dangerous, mighty, and all-powerful write access: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 and next zero the mbr with this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/adx oseek=1 bs=512 count=1 where (x) is your drive number. If my theory is correct and you have seen a similar situation, these two things are the quickest and easiest way to get around it. -Mike ___ 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
