WinTV card not recognized on AOpen AX-34pro card
I have set up camserv on a box with an Abit VH-6 motherboard, and it works just fine. This is a snippet from the VH-6 dmesg: bktr0: BrookTree 878 mem 0xd800-0xd8000fff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44804 C448 bktr0: Warning - Unknown Hauppauge Tuner 0x30 bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips PAL I tuner. pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 13.1 irq 5 - Installing the same TV card in the same PCI slot on a AOpen AX- 34 Pro box, the corresponding snippet is: -- bktr0: BrookTree 878 mem 0xd9002000-0xd9002fff irq 12 at device 11.0 on pci0 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44804 C448 bktr0: Warning - Unknown Hauppauge Tuner 0x30 bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips NTSC tuner. pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 11.1 irq 12 -- camserv now produces a distorted picture. Using the VGA and Ethernet card from the Abit box makes no difference. Using the FXTV utility under KDE on the Abit box, it is possible to select modes. When selecting NTSC I get the same distorted picture as on the AOpen box, but selecting PAL/N or PAL/BGDHI produces good pictures. So why does the AOpen board insist that my TV card is a NTSC card?

Re: When is FreeBSD going to work properly with KVM switches?
On Mon, Jul 15, 2002 at 07:33:31PM -0400, Eric Olsen typed: [...] I have not had any problems switching between machines, EXCEPT that when a machine is booting up, the KVM must be set to that machine in order for recognition of the mouse and kbd to work properly. I find this to be true for Win, FBSD, and Linux. Once the machine has booted, I can switch away and back with no problems. I believe I was running FBSD 4.3 when I first installed the KVM. This is a kernel configuration issue. Edit the line device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 in your kernel configuration file, removing the flags 0x1 part. Recompile your kernel and reboot. The machine will now recognize your keyboard even when it was switched away at boot time.

/dev/null and 2-
i just installed 4.6-RELEASE, and notice that the '2-' sh (FBSD) construct seems to be broken. i am going thru all my scripts having to change it to /dev/null ... i figure it's not realistic to assume a bug this obvious would make it to release stage, so my question is - is something else going on? or is this just due to changes in 'sh'? is it a bug? or is it a permenent change?

gnome2 epic quest
Hi - I spent the weekend attempting to upgrade to Gnome 2 and KDE 3, woohoo. I made it to KDE 3 but Gnome 2 is proving elusive.

Hello,
I'm running 3 x

Re: cvsup: to gui or not to gui?

Subject: cvsup: to gui or not to gui?
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 19:20:30 -0700
Hi y'all
Am about to install cvsup, and am wondering whether I should use the GUI or
not. I'm just wondering if the gui version provides any useful
functionality that I will not get command line. If not, I'm thinking of
using the terminal version so that I will have more options should my X
config become uncooperative at some point.
Any suggestions / strong opinions either way?
I managed to install the gui version by mistake when they switched
them. i don't really see any benefit whatsoever. besides, i never
invoke cvsup directly, but instead run make update in
/usr/{src,doc,ports} so what the heck would i need a gui for?

I think ANY OS running something like that would struggle after a few
minutes...
FreeBSD lets you configure process limits, memory usage limits, etc,
to help protect against runaway processes. The config file is
/etc/login.conf. Look at man login.conf for details and cross-
references.

Creating a FreeBSD boot floppy for a failed machine
I am trying to create a boot floppy that I can use to boot a machine that has failed. Once I boot off the floppy I want to mount the hard drive(s) and move any data from the machine to another machine on the network. I tried searching for some information on how to do this, but I was overwhelmed with creating the installation floppies in my search. I did see the commands to boot FreeBSD after booting from a DOS floppy (nb8390.com and nb3c509.com.), but this will not give the support I need for all the different hardware. If anyone could lead me to some information on how to do this I would appreciate it. Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: webct on freebsd?
At Mon, 15 Jul 2002 it looks like Tim Kellers composed: Universitry Information Services has recommended we purchase a SUN box and install the SUN flavor of WebCT. However, they are so backlogged that it isn't even a possiblity until sometime in September (after the Fall semester has started). Well first off, I work for a Linux company and run FreeBSD all day as my work horse and use Linux, own a Sparc box here at home and was a Union Machinist prior to going to work in this field. I say that to say this; use what tools you have to do the job the easiest. I also run Solaris-8 on an Intel box too and it runs fine providing you make sure you have a Intel Pro nic card (or 3Com) and not too fancy video card. If you order the lastest Solaris-8 (Intel) Media Kit it will be the 02/02 release and the following link will lead you to the hardware compatibility list. http://docs.sun.com/?q=HCLp=/doc/816-2419 It's a bit of a learning curve doing the install but it's worth the exercise if the WebCT runs on the Intel version of Solaris-8. -- |72--| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ UNIX, A Way Of Life._\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Compiling kernel module
Hi, I'm trying to get a dummy PCI driver module to compile (code mostly taken from the FreeBSD developer's handbook), and I've run into a problem with a couple of header files. I include the file sys/buf.h, and it includes the following two preprocessor directives: #include device_if.h #include bus_if.h At the moment I'm compiling this module (main source file called fb.c) in my home directory using the following Makefile: -- # Makefile for the skeleton module SRCS = fb.c KMOD = fb .include bsd.kmod.mk -- The makefile seems to automatically create an '@' directory linking to /usr/src/sys, but the two headers device_if.h and bus_if.h do not appear in this directory alongside buf.h, so there is a preprocessing error in bus.h. After a bit of diggging, I found that device_if.h and bus_if.h could be found a few directories further in form /usr/src/sys/compile/XXX/.., so my question is, how should I set up my Makefile, etc. to allow me to build my little module? Btw, I can compile a custom kernel no problem, so I don't think my kernel sources have got messed up. thanks, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: FreeBSD 4.6 Installation Lockup
Tim, I had a similar problem. I had a SCSI Hard Drive and an IDE Tape Drive in the machine. I had to disconnect the IDE tape drive, before the SCSI hard drive would work. After installation I reattached the Tape Drive and all was well. I hope this helps. Joe - Original Message - From: Tim Strike [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 11:17 AM Subject: FreeBSD 4.6 Installation Lockup I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE on several i386 systems (clones) that have dual SCSI and no IDE disks. These systems are currently running an older version of FreeBSD. The installation of 4.6-RELEASE locks shortly after a message regarding ppc0 (something to the effect of ppc0: Parallel port not found), when I think it is looking for disk controllers or disk drives. I've tried booting from floppy (to use a network install), and from both SCSI and IDE CD-ROM. I've tried the ATA workaround on the odd chance that was the problem, but still no luck. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Any ideas on how to either fix it or get more information on what is going wrong (and what it's trying to do just before lockup)?

Re: cvs pserver
Apparently the problem was the way I was setting the environment.
When I ran -
export CVSROOT=/files/www/data/source
as one command, everything ran smoothly.

Thanks
cvs obviously has a problem locating the approperiate CVSROOT structure
with the necessary control files. It should normally be located under
${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/
Please check the cvs (1) manual and the init command;
init - Initialize a repository by adding the CVSROOT sub-
directory and some default control files. You must
use this command or initialize the repository in
some other way before you can use it.
I.e. $ cvs -d /files/www/data/source init
(You may omit -d if you set the CVSROOT variable).

XFree86, german keyboard: make the comma key actually print a comma. How?
Hi all, maybe someone can help me on this: I am trying to teach XFree to print a comma (,) when hitting the appropriate key on the key pad. The keycode is 91 so I created .Xmodmap in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ and it contains keycode 91 = comma. If I understood /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc right, it looks if .Xmodmap exists, if so, it sets this as the system wide Xmodmap. But I can't make it work. I always have a full-stop (.) when hitting the comma key on my key pad.

Re: cvsup: to gui or not to gui?
Someone, quite probably Jim McLoughlin, once wrote: Am about to install cvsup, and am wondering whether I should use the GUI or not. I'm just wondering if the gui version provides any useful functionality that I will not get command line. If not, I'm thinking of using the terminal version so that I will have more options should my X config become uncooperative at some point. If you have the space then install the GUI a) if you use -g when you start cvsup it doesn't run the GUI b) you can delete it afterwards if you feel *really* opposed to it c) everyone should see the pink screen of cvsup once in their life :-) Seriously though, I've always run without the GUI and I probably prefer it like that. I ran with the GUI once and it was great fun, but then I am easily amused by simple novelty things. I couldn't say which is better as they're just a little different.

As a result of the hype surrounding the announcement of the OpenSSH bug, when it wasn't at all clear exactly what older versions were affected, the decision was taken to upgrade to the latest portable OpenSSH 4.3p1 in 4-STABLE. Hence the easiest way to upgrade right now is just to cvsup a recent version of stable and make world in the usual fashion. Yes, precisely why I said: However, it's my understanding that Openssh-3.4 wasn't included ..meaning at that time I agree there was quite a bit of confusion regarding which versions were affected, I was quite confused at the time myself. Upgrading Openssh the way I did, at that time, was the best option for me. I take vulnerabilities seriously and needed ssh patched as quickly as possible with limited downtime. It's good to know I won't have to worry about anything the next time I 'make world'. Thanks for the good info.

Look at the top output and figure out what the processes are that are hitting your system hardest. Use truss(1) or ktrace(1) to trace out what system calls those processes are making. Care: injudicious use of ktrace(1) can bring a system to it's knees and really spoil your whole day. Use `systat -vm' for a good summary screen showing process, VM, network and disk activity. That might give you some clues about what's happening. It's not impossible for your machine to legitimately have it's CPU spending 25-30% of the time performing system calls --- but the machine would have to be fairly well loaded and the other CPU states (except idle) would probably be high as well. The effect might be caused by marginal hardware: eg. a disk that takes a few retries to do an IO operation, or a network flooded with bogus packets from a NIC gone bad. Check system logs for indications of impending failure and make some good backups. If you have sufficient time, motivation and spare parts try removing or swapping out components to see if it makes a difference -- sometimes it's amazing what a difference replacing a damaged Ethernet cable can make.

Re: User I didn't add
Correct, when you installed Apache, the user/group www ( 80 ) was added to the system. The acct is passwordless, thus, preventing anyone from logging. These accts are needed because your httpd.conf file says run the server as user/group www(80).

As someone else suggested, let FBSD pick the geometry and you should be OK. It worked for me. surely this is a bug with the installer ( or whatever front-end to fdisk the installer uses )? i can run 'fdisk -f parfile ad3' and specify a geometry of 116301/16/63 and things work fine - so apparently this geometry is not 'incorrect'. ( this is reflecting dmesg - does this come from the bios? i have my disk set to auto detect in the bios since it's in a caddy so i never actually see what the bios thinks it has ). i like to be able to script my entire disk configuration so i always have fdisk and disklabel parameter files for all my disks which makes it much easier and quicker to rebuild/reconfigure as required. but this 'feature' means whenever i use the installer it screws up my geometry ( since i can't seem to skip this step ). is there any real reason why i shouldn't use 116301/16/63 ? regards, siegfried. regards, siegfried.

Re: SSH
- Original Message - From: Daniel Bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do you chroot people logging in via ssh? or sftp? The easiest solution I've found for this is to give your restricted users rbash as a login shell. (This applies to interactive ssh connections, I don't know about sftp - I don't use it). rbash probably won't exist on your system yet. If bash is installed (it's in ports, naturally ;-), make a link called rbash to the bash executable: # ln /usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/rbash Add /usr/local/bin/rbash to your /etc/shells, and make it the default shell for your restricted users. Well, I don't want to force users to use bash if they are used to or lve tcsh (or some other shell). But if we are lucky, then maybe sftp and ssh will have a way to chroot users in the future.

Re: webct on freebsd?
Thanks for the input, Bill. It looks like the purchase of a Sun Box to run WebCT on is a longshot at best, so I'm married to trying to get it to run on my development (FreeBSD) server.

Unistalling/Installing sshd
Folks I am trying to upgrade ssh because of a recent vulnerability. Trouble is I can't seem to install the latest version of openssh (3.4pl1) I have tried compiling this and I get a successful compile but cannot seem to make the other one go away. Since sshd is compiled in the installation (4.6) I cannot find a way to uninstall it. If I type sshd --version I get an error and sshd: illegal option -- vsshd version OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20020307 which seems to indicate that the version I installed is not the one serving up ssh.
