Being CREATIVE = RW8438E md5 mismatches

Filenames that start with a dash can be disarmend by prepending the directory (just ./ if it's the current working directory). Spaces can be used by enclosing the name in quotes. Thus: rm ./-bash.gmon xy ds Or use shell wildcards. In this case use -i, so you don't accidentally remove more files than you intended (unless you're sure that no other files will match): rm -i ?bash.gmon xy?ds If you use the zsh shell, it has the nice feature that it expands expressions containing wildcards when you press the TAB key, including proper quoting.

Re: Restart multi-user mode automatically
Sorry for replying to myself, but I wanted this to make it into the list archive, in case someone else is having the same problem some day ... Oliver Fromme [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This might seem like a strange question, but maybe someone has an answer or idea ... Under certain circumstances, I need to restart a machine's multi-user mode without manual intervention. In other words, it should perform a shutdown, killing all processes, but then (instead of prompting for a single-user mode shell), the system should get back up into multi-user mode automatically (running /etc/rc etc). I do not want to perform a full reboot. Is there a way to do that? I finally took an hour to study the source code of /sbin/init. There doesn't seem to be a way to do what I need, because there is no state transition multiuser - death - multiuser without a singleuser in between. :-( So the answer to my question is no. However, from looking at the source code it seems to be pretty easy to write a small tool that simulates parts of init and performs exactly what I need. That's what I will do. Regards Oliver PS: No, it is _not_ for avoiding a reboot to save the machine's uptime, but to keep downtimes of services to the absolute minimum possible.

${DESTDIR}: /tmp/maketest
${TARGETS}: /foo /bar /baz
Graph cycles through /foo
Graph cycles through /bar
Graph cycles through /baz
`all' not remade because of errors.
here, DESTDIR has a value in the .BEGIN target body, but not outside
it. how come the commandline assignment overrides the value at one
place, but not the other?

problems after restarting with bind and mysqld

I am running 4.6 Stable patched with the various security updates. Firstly, Bind 9.2.1 is giving me this error on startup: named[79181]: timer.c:407: unexpected error: named[79181]: isc_time_now() failed: unexpected error named[79181]: timer.c:407: unexpected error: named[79181]: isc_time_now() failed: unexpected error named[79181]: timer.c:407: unexpected error: named[79181]: isc_time_now() failed: unexpected error named[79181]: timer.c:284: unexpected error: named[79181]: isc_time_now() failed: unexpected error named[79181]: loading configuration: unexpected error named[79181]: exiting (due to fatal error) Secondly, Mysql version 3.23.47 is continuously exiting on signal 6. If I try to kill the process it just respawns a new one and if I try to stop it using the scripts in rc.d it does the same. Eventually I had to open up a new terminal and disable the startup scripts and do a shutdown to stop it. Manually starting it has the same results. I have checked the logs and it only shows: /kernel: pid 68869 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 6 /kernel: pid 68874 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 6 /kernel: pid 68879 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 6 /kernel: pid 68884 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 6 /kernel: pid 68889 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 6 Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this as you can imagine is an urgent issue to be solved. I am busy in the process of back tracing my steps to see if any of the changes to the system may have caused these errors.

Re: gethostbyname
Anyone have a simple example of how to use this function..
This should work (and is really reduced to a minimum)
=
struct hostent *hostentry;
if ( (hostentry = gethostbyname(localhost)) == NULL) {
// Error handling
}
printf(Name: %s; Alias: %s\n,
hostentry-h_name, hostentry-h_aliases[0]);
=
At my system the output is just:
Name: localhost; Alias: (null)
Note that gethostbyname tries to get information from the nameserver
or /etc/hosts. (I don't know if the order in which these are accessed
depends on /etc/host.conf and I also do not know if the lookup in
/etc/hosts only occurs if the local name server is not running - it
seems so to me, according to gethostbyname(3))

I even tried fooling the BIOS into thinking that the display adapter had a different IRQ so that it would not occupy IRQ 12. Alas, to no avail. I would love to send the startup log, but I haven't figured out how to do that. The machine assumptions are different every which way I look at them. In windows safe mode I see what looks to be a complete accounting of config values. In normal mode, running Winmsd.exe I get a different set of values. Looking at the device manager reveals some different twists. The machine level/BIOS assumptions have subtle but important differences, and finally the freeBSD probe reveals different values all together. For me it is a little like hitting a moving target that is on a moving target (while I am moving). Here is where I could use some help. 1. I need a tool or procedure that I could use to DEFINATIVELY capture IRQ, I/O and memory addresses (all I care about is wow they will work in freeBSD). 2. A way to view and edit IRQ information on the freeBSD side other than the initial installation. It takes a LONG time to re-install the system, when you just want to change one value and test it (something like the system probe). I have re-installed the system, probably 30 times now (I'm a little stubborn). I am a newbie to be sure, but I really want to learn. I have a definite goal in mind for setting this up. I want to set up an FTP and mail server, and I have consistently heard that the BSD platform is THE way to go (I also love this sort of challenge). I will not be deterred or discouraged. Many thanks for any help. Stephen Stephen Randall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

automating backups of files
I'd like to write something to automatically backup files as they change on disk. Perhaps not every byte, but say at reasonable intervals and especially when a file is closed. Does anyone know of any way I could get an indication in a userland process when an arbitrary file has been opened, closed, or modified? I can imagine a special device which I read which just feed me things like: /foo/bar modified /bar/baz close Before everyone bombards me with comments that I'm being completely stupid, I have my reasons for wanting to do this rather than using RAID to create a mirror. What I really want would certainly be best done if I were to write my own file system. But I don't have the time to do that right now. I've been looking long and hard for a sort of roll-back filesystem, but I've never seen this for unix. So, I'd like to create something somewhat close. What I want to do today is backup a file in many different states rather than just once per day. To do that, I need to know when the files change, rather than scanning through the entire file system constantly, hence my question. I realize that there's going to be some overhead to do this, but I suspect that the amount of overhead isn't going to be that much greater than say using RAID to mirror. Ideas and comments welcome...

IMO there should be an elegant way to let init(1) know which programs
expect this argument, possibly with an option in /etc/ttys, or have a
wrapper script around kdm to avoid this.

Re: Can't mount my fat32 partition
Are you running Windows 2000? It looks like you have an NTFS partition on ads02, which would probably be your C: drive in Windows. Is that what you are trying to mount? If so, you really need: mount -tntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt which will mount that drive read-only (NTFS is not writable yet, AFAIK) OR did you create a different FAT32 partition? If you created your own separate FAT32 partition, did you create a logical partition, IN the extended partition? if so, try: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ad0s5 mount_msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt Hope that helps, -Matt On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 13:57, twig les wrote: Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I have and the web site I found both said that it's a snap.

Creating large memory disks
I need to know how to create a large memory disk in FreeBSD 4.6x. I've figured out how to create a 10M malloc-backed disk, but I want a ramdrive more on the order of 128M. How can I do that? The md man page indicates it's possible, but talks about preloading it in loader.conf. However the reply from Terry Lambert to a similar request said it should be done after boot. Any tips or guides?

About to install FreeBSD as a Desktop...
So, following up the subject, I'm getting (finally) MY OWN laptop. Not a company owned or school loaned. It's a very nice machine that is shipping with XP Pro and I CANNOT wait to get it off. So here's the problem, do I install FreeBSD 4.5-1 which is what I've been running on my servers for quite some time now. I have no issues with it, it makes me happy. Or do I install 4.6.2 which has been released on CD and everything (as was 4.5). I'd like to use the machine for development (KDE apps and Web) which would naturally require me to run the latest versions of XFree86 and KDE. Other than that I just need some productivity apps, but nothing particularly special. S, what's the REAL difference between 4.5 and 4.6.2? And finally, I've really only used FreeBSD as a work environment so I've never had the chance to answer this question myself.can I view DVD's? And if so what program should I use? ~ Matthew /** Matthew Metnetsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] **/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Consequently, if you execute the command again ntpdate time.nist.gov the offset should be something pretty close to zero and things should be fine. If not, and you are running the commands as root, then I have no idea what is wrong. Very puzzling.

I have not as of yet been able to discover what kind of security risk this represents and/or how it can be exploited.

Joe I just re-cvsup'ed and tried it again (make clean install), same error-- can't find -lglib. How do I change it to specify glib12?

The Complete FreeBSD, second edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Last revision: 21 June 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] General changes ___ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this information Location of the sample files On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM).

That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

Re: So what's replaced pspell-0.12.2_1?
Hi Kris, So, why is it that when I run pkgdb -F I'm only presented with the option of Skip this for now?? My recollection of now pkgdb -F works is that it often offers me a selection (including probability of a match) of other ports to choose to remap? Another thing is that I'm pretty sure I got aspell some time ago as well.., since which, running portsdb -Uu and pkgdb -F after each cvsup of the ports tree revealed no dependancy issues of this nature.., This is the second port tonight (see my ealier post on portupgrade and pkg_tarup) that suggests that today's cvsup has somehow left me with a less than up-to-date ports tree.

Please help me, I've put a ton of time into getting my laptop just where I want it...so close to Valhalla...so close Can you send the list the output of: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf diff GENERIC FW Dru = --- Heavy metal made me do it. --- __ Do you Yahoo!?

portupgrade is only a tool to help you, sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't. If it works, it's great, if it doesn't you have to do
it the old-fashioned way: manually.
Remove the port pspell.
Remove the evolution port.
Remove the etherape port.
Make them again.
The first will install automaticly aspell.
The second one will see it's already there.

Using MFS for the first time
Okay, so I've been using Windows, so what?! Sure it crashes alot, and has a serious number of fatal errors, but it compatible with an easy to configure Ram-disk program. In a matter of seconds, i had a virtual drive running off of my 512 mb of spare ram. Okay, so maybe i exaggerate a little. I'm not too fond of Windows. Freebsd is the best choice i've made by far. However, i am quite new to MFS usages, and Kernel compilations. I'm hoping that an expert in this field can point out the pro's and con's, usages of, maintenance of MFS. Btw, this is just a standalone system, a personal computer, u might say. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I did that, it just found another line to error on until I did the cp GENERIC FW and manually added the lines I wanted. I must have corrupted the file somehow (it didn't screw itself up).

Re: Upgrade
Randy, I recently switched to FreeBSD about three weeks ago and I went through the same thing. Now, this is what I did, so it might not be entirely applicable but some of it might help. I installed the minimum amount of software to get the system up and running. The installation procedure actually has an option for this. After that I started looking through the ports collection to see what I really wanted on th system. The ports and packages collection is explained in the handbook. If you don't have a printed copy, it is also on the website. The reason I did the minimum install was so I could learn to use ports and packages and build a system as I went along. To upgrade the operating system itself is surprisingly simple. The basic idea is a) install CVSup (there is tons of stuff about CVSUp in the handbook) b) pull down the latest source tree (stable is probably what you want, this will get you up to 4.7-PRERELEASE. c) build the OS following the instructions in the handbook d) build a custom kernel to suit your hardware and preferences e) install the new kernel f) test the new kernel g) install the new source build There are other ways to do this as well most notably CTM. However, if you have a decent Internet connection I would go with the above plan. Like I said I would STRONGLY, STRONGLY recommend reading the handbook before doing anything. Of course, this list is an excellent resource for questions. I would also recommend subscribing to some of the other lists, most notably the [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list has excellent information regarding the current state of the code. I will say that I am pleased with the system so far. FreeBSD is much more flexible than Linux and better organized.
