Mod_frontpage config error
Ran into something I'm not entirely sure how to fix. Was running the config script for configuring frontpage extentions on one of our apache servers by running the script /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh on the server after installing mod_frontpage. But when I run it, all goes fine until I get to this one point. Here is an example of the output. Will chown web to www as part of install. Will chgrp web to www as part of install.

Please fix the error and try again. I do a find to see if that file exists, and I find the file in question located here /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf. so the file obviously exists. I know the permissions are correct. Here's the permissions on it, -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 357 Jul 2 18:52 /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf. I've even tried doing a chmod to 777 to see if it was a permissions issue, and it's not. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Hallo, I have a quesion about FreeBSD support for this hardware. I'v just bought this card to use in my new server at work (based on FreeBSD 4.6 RELASE). But I'm a little worry and upsed, because 4.6 kernel doesn't support this card (it is invisible for FreeBSD). I'v seen on www.promise.com that this hardware has drivers for Linux kernel. Is there any chance to run RAID-5 based on this hardware on FreeBSD? I strongly prefer to use FreeBSD than linux as operating system on my servers, and I don't want to be froced to make this on linux server for that reason :(.

Re: If a disk is mounted read only is it possible to corrupt it?

If I mount *all* of my partitions as read only (ignoring the problems of needing to write log files, etc. for now) and then cut the power to the server, is there any chance of corrupting the disk? It seems that FreeBSD wouldn't do it, but would the disk itself do it? That depends on the disk you're using.

A part of the NIS entries was: +userid2:::grp1:/srv/home/userid2:/usr/local/bin/bash +userid3:::grp1:/srv/home/userid3:/usr/local/bin/bash +userid4:::grp1:/srv/home/userid4:/usr/local/bin/bash +@netgrp1:::grp1::/usr/local/bin/bash +userid1: +userid5: After experimenting a bit it turned out that always the user immediately after the netgrp1 netgroup entry was the one which showed up in the repetive system calls when ktrace'ing top. Putting the netgrp1 entry after all individual accounts solved the problem of the stuck top. Now my question: Can anyone explain this behaviour? I've read passwd(5) and can see no reason why the problem with top should have happened in the first place.

Re: log files
I think I made a boo boo. I deleted all the files from var/log thinking I would have clean logs. Well, I rebooted but some of the files never reapeared. I made a back up just in case. Can I expect any problems in the future? Problems like no logs being writen maybe. Some things take the absense of a log file as a signal to not write log entries. I doubt that anything critical does it that way. What is the best way to start off with new logs - I'm experimenting with different things? Thus, trying to get more in touch with my new friend. Some of the files reappeared. In general is this a good way of starting off from fresh? What we usually do is: first observe the ownership (UID and GID) and the permissions on the log file. Then mv(1) the file to an alternate name, usually with the date in the name and either touch(1) the file and fix up the owner and permissions or do something like cp(1) /dev/null to the name and fix up owners and permissions. I won't guarantee that will cover all situations, and maybe it is a little crude(??) but it seems to work. We have lots of things that roll over logs using this procedure by age or by size of the log file. We use a cron(8) job to check them periodically. I think some things also have built-in checks for log file size. jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I got the same error after cvsup-ing from cvsup13. :)
Bsd.links.mk, etc., were among the files in the cvsup. I think what may
be happening is that in this one instance installing world before
rebuilding the kernel will install the new files and allow the kernel to build.
At least it worked for me.
Did you do a config style kernel build or a buildkernel. I did the
build{install]kernel without any problems.

RE: FreeBSD 4.6 and PPP
First of all sorry about the duplicate post, I got a bounce message and sent it again by mistake. Anyway back to the problem. I went from 4.5 to 4.6 but the only reason I'm using ipnat is that I am doing port forwarding from my firewall to my internal server for some services (www and smtp) and I don't know how to use ppp -nat. The other reason is that I'm using the ppp.conf file that was supplied to my with the speedtouch USB modem software and I need to reload my rules manually before I can connect to the outside world, i'm assuming that this is because the ADSL connection is established after the ipf rules have been loaded. On closer inspection I have noticed that I have not indented the ipf and ipnat lines in my ppp.linkup file and being that the sample files are doing this I guess it is required (can't belive I missed that).

In consecutive sequences only the first characters differed. For example, in the next sequence both of the two strings started with HB instead of GB, so this seems to be some kind of counter. Because it looked like that there was something special with this user (userid1), I examined /etc/passwd via vipw(8). A part of the NIS entries was: +userid2:::grp1:/srv/home/userid2:/usr/local/bin/bash +userid3:::grp1:/srv/home/userid3:/usr/local/bin/bash +userid4:::grp1:/srv/home/userid4:/usr/local/bin/bash +@netgrp1:::grp1::/usr/local/bin/bash +userid1: +userid5: After experimenting a bit it turned out that always the user immediately after the netgrp1 netgroup entry was the one which showed up in the repetive system calls when ktrace'ing top. Putting the netgrp1 entry after all individual accounts solved the problem of the stuck top. Now my question: Can anyone explain this behaviour? I've read passwd(5) and can see no reason why the problem with top should have happened in the first place.

adaptec 2100S raidutil software -- how to startup or use?
Hi The archives don't talk much about the adaptec raidutil. I have done the pkg_add, and I need to know what I need to do to start up the supporting software for raidutil to work. The pkg includes no startup or shutdown scripts that I can see. The less than infofrmative adaptec online support site mentioned I needed some stuff in /dev so I created that with the script they gave. In addition, they said a bunch of dpt* processes should be running. I don't know how to start up those processes, and there is no startup script to show me. raidutil says it cannot open the engine. I have tried to start the various dpt* things in /usr/dpt , but to no avail. Any hints appreciated.

That's all builtin in the TCP protocol.
If you want to do IP address translation you should
think about
something like running NAT on the gateway.
If you want to do full proxying for a certain

to find a specific proxy for that application.

I prefer just command line, I see absolutely no point in even install X11 if all I am running is pop3, Postfix, apache, mysql, BIND. These are all server app's, I script in console, I read e-mail in console, and when I am on the road i use ICQ/IRC in console. offtopic But I am also not the biggest GUI fan when doing work, I run fluxbox with keybinding's for everything imaginable so I pretty much don't even use the mouse in X. /offtopic * * * * * * * * Matt Snow (@) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (w) http://slakin.net.

Re: Mp3 Tags
Christopher, Is there a command that I can use to strip the tags off of Mp3's? I want to strip the ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags out. Or does anybody have a The id3convert from the id3lib package is simple to use for this. 8 # id3convert --help id3convert 1.8 Uses id3lib-3.7.13 This program converts and strips ID3v1/1.1 and Lyrics3 v2.0 tags to ID3v2 tags. Usage: id3convert [OPTION]... [FILE]... Converts between id3v1 and id3v2 tags of an mp3 file. -1, --v1tag Render only the id3v1 tag -2, --v2tag Render only the id3v2 tag -s, --strip Strip, rather than render, the tags -p, --padding Use padding in the tag -h, --help Display this help and exit -v, --version Display version information and exit Will render both types of tag by default. Only the last tag type indicated in the option list will be used. Non- rendered will remain unchanged in the original file. Will also parse and convert Lyrics3 v2.0 frames, but will not render them. 8 This, id3tag and id3info command from this package are more useful than the mp3rename port.

Re: /usr/share/examples
Some of us never make world. Or rather, there must be an easier way to get this directory populated than having to learn how to make world. make world kind of makes me nervous. If this is a recognized problem, then why isn't it reported in the errata? Is it too much to ask for someone to just make a tarball and put it on the errata page?

question about downloading iso images
I'm interested in downloading iso images for FreeBSD 4.6 from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/ and then having them burned to CD's so I can install FreeBSD. I currently boot win 98 and I'm interested in creating a dual-boot configuration. I see that there is an iso image for 4.6.1-RC2.iso and also a folder marked 4.6 where I can get the 4 CD complete set. I think 4.6.1-RC2.iso is some update or something. If I want 4.6 complete, do I download the 4 iso's from the 4.6 folder, then download 4.6.1-RC2.iso so that I would have a 5cd set that can be used to install FreeBSD on my system?? Or, how different is 4.6.1-RC2.iso from the 4 cd set and why is it there?? Thanks. Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
XFree86 4.2.0 question
Greetings, I'm a Unix and FreeBSD newbie. I just installed 4.2.0 and got it running but my resolution is way off. I'm sure this must be a configuration issue. Upon installation, I chose an S3 Savage 4 video card and it told me it was basically unsupported but the FreeBSD documentation says that it is supported using the Savage server. So my question is, is there some way to change the server to the Savage server? If so, could someone explain it to me like I was 2 years old please?

RE: question about downloading iso images
I could be mistaken about this but I believe that the *RC2 is the mini-install version. I'm not sure about the differences but I would go with the full set. If you don't need all the port binaries and extras, CD #1 from the 4 CD set should be sufficient.

qmail and hostname

You must IMMEDIATELY cure yourself of the desire to run X11 as root for
any reason. You can achieve everything you need to do under a regular
user account by making good use of 'su' and the 'sudo' ports.
If you don't use X11 as root a 40MB / partition should be enough,
although in these days of large cheap IDE disks you may as well make it
100MB or so.

Yes, you can span the system over two disks. If you look close you'll
see I've done so. I can't tell you how to partition your disks because
you haven't said how the box is used. For a workstation with a 3gig
drive and a 25 gig drive (assuming the larger drive is newer) here's a
stab in the dark.
/ 200MB on 3GB
/usr5GB on 25GB
swap2x your RAM with half the swap on each disk
/var300MB on 3GB (more if you run an mbox-type mailserver
/tmp300MB on 3GB
/home the rest of the 25GB
That leaves alot of unused space on the 3GB, no strong opinion from me
on that.
