4.7 RC problem
First time posting here, and I didn't see the topic before, so here it goes... I agree to help my brother set up a new bsd box six hours away, doing everything remotely once there is network access to the box. After some hardware issues were resolved, I did a cvsup to get everything up to date and ready for a kernel compile. The o/s will eventually be used as a router, but for now it has just one nic. cvsup goes fine, and I start the buildworld. No errors through the whole process, so I reboot to switch to the new kernel. The machine is now dead to me, it won't respond to pings/ssh/begging. On site, the box is running, and my brother can log in fine (directly, not via ssh). When I ask him to ping around or even ping localhost, it comes up with "ping: sendto: permission denied". He also can't even ssh out. This looks like a permissions/firewall issue, but he is logging in as root, and there is no firewall active. The kernel does have settings for routing, but nothing is activated in rc.conf. Has anyone heard of this sort of error? At this point, we can't even hope for a fix later and just cvsup it when it comes out, the only other option is to toast the machine completely and go with an earlier revision and not cvsup. -Derrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

diskless - anybody got one working?
I've been attempting to get a diskless FreeBSD machine running which boots across the network using etherboot. So far, I can get the machine to boot off the etherboot created floppy and it loads the kernel across the network. However, after the kernel loads, instead of mounting the remote root filesystem it just prompts me to enter the location of the root filesystem. If I try to enter something like nfs:x.x.x.x:/usr/home/diskless the kernel panics and reboots the machine. I can see that the ISC-DHCPD is sending the paramaters for the "Root Filesystem" using ethereal. I have also configured and compiled a kernel with the necessary BOOTP options. I don't think it's an NFS problem at this point, as after it boots the kernel the diskless machine never attempts to do anything with NFS, or at least not so far as ethereal can see. It seems to be either a problem with etherboot or with the kernel paying no attention to the "Root Filesystem" configuration sent by the DHCPD. The other strange thing is that if I build the diskless kernel on my 4.6-STABLE box the diskless machine won't attempt to boot the loaded kernel, but rather just reboots the machine as soon as it's done loading the kernel across the network. However, if I build the diskless kernel on a 4.6.2-RELEASE (the same box that I'm trying to get to boot diskless) the kernel loads and boots, but stops to ask me where the root filesystem is located. Has anybody got a diskless setup working with 4.6, DHCP, and etherboot? Thanks, Nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

C++ symbol mangling
I'm involved in a porting project. I say that first because changing the
code that I will list below is less of an option than it may seem. It's
part of an API that third-party developers code to, my work on porting comes
in secondary to changing the API. The code compiles as is, not even a
warning, on win32 and linux.
The environment is 4.6-STABLE, maybe a few weeks outta date, using the
default GCC toolchain (2.95.3).
Here's the code (well, a relevant representation, anyways). The example
below is sufficient to reproduce the problem, at least.
--MyString.h--
class MyString
{
public:
MyString(){};
~MyString(){};
void toupper( void );
void tolower( void );
static char * toupper( char * );
static char * tolower( char * );
};
--MyString.cpp-
#include "MyString.h"
#include
char * MyString::toupper( char *s )
{
char *t = s;
while ( *t )
{
*t = ::toupper( *t );
t++;
}
return ( s );
}
char * MyString::tolower( char *s )
{
char *t = s;
while ( *t )
{
*t = ::tolower( *t );
t++;
}
return ( s );
}
Seems harmless enough, when looking at it... The trouble is that the
preprocessor is changing the name of MyString::toupper() to
MyString::__toupper (same for tolower), which is, of course, not declared in
the class. This feels like the result of the compiler getting confused
between the definition of toupper in ctype.h *and* in this program's source.
The questions:
1) Are the ctype.h definitions getting in the way?
2) Is there a compiler flag to prevent this behavior? If so, what is it?
3) Barring the compiler flag, could someone architect for me a macro or two
that would prevent this problem?
Thanks mucho,
<:) Lyndon

Setting permissions that alloww only a certain group of users to write things in that directory, and then using edquota to limit the quota of that group under the directory. Let's say, for example, that you want to limit /mnt/foobar to 100 kbytes. Let's also assume that /mnt/foobar is under an /mnt mountpoint. Create a new group called "foobar". The name of the group doesn't need be the same. It might helps remembering what this group was created for later on though. # groupadd foobar Make root:foobar the owner of /mnt/foobar. # chown -R root:foobar /mnt/foobar Add write permission to /mnt/foobar for the group: # chmod 0775 /mnt/foobar Edit the "group quota" of foobar: # edquota -g foobar -f /mnt Done. Don't let "*:foobar" have write access anywhere else under /mnt and you're set to go. The users that belong to the "foobar" group will be limited under /mnt/foobar.

One of these days I will understand > the point of running PPP over ethernet... The point is that established ISPs have everything hooked into the server-side PPP authentication mechanism - billing, IP assignment (dynamic for Joe User, static /32 for customer A who pays, static /28 for the local small business customers) and goodness knows what else. So for these ISPs, the easiest way of deploying DSL for these ISPs is via PPPoE, as it uses the same back-end to administer things and just a different set of link-layer hardware. Yes, the extra features of PPP (framing, error correction, etc) are really just overhead, but it's a tradeoff of "best administrative solution" vs "best technical solution". The cable providers, OTOH, did it right - use the modem as a bridge, and use DHCP for IP allocation and MAC addresses for user identification. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The latter are vinum volumes. No da0 or da1 involved at present. Also, if "clicking" it doesn't show anything in my messages or console logs. __ Do you Yahoo!?

How to restore 'getty'
Last week my server rebooted spontaneously while running 'portupgrade', and froze during initialization of local packages. Luckily, I have been able to get in using SSH from another terminal. The problem that shows up in /var/log/messages is: "init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: Operation not permitted". After doing some research, I tried running 'getty' and my session froze. It looks like the 'getty' binary somehow got farkled (stray alpha particle?). So I went to /usr/src/libexec/getty and tried to run "make install". I got the error message: "install: getty: No such file or directory". I'm sure there's a way to do this without building world. Can someone direct me to the solution? -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The Java port is complicated by Sun's ridiculous licensing stuff *and* by it depending on the Linux Java to build the native version. So rather than a normal build, you'll have to fetch the files into /usr/ports/distfiles yourself. First, build the Linux Java: cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk13 make (here's where you stop and download the files from Sun's page) make install Then make the native Java cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13 make (Download files; it'll tell you where.) make install > Also, once make has run, are there steps to configure in my browser?

ATA disk "ticking"?
Please note: da=scsi, ad=ATA, Ok, I have replaced my power supply, and now my assumingly faulty SCSI drive seems to work again. I have 4 drives in my box, two identical barracuda's da0 and da1 and two IDE WD disks ad0 and ad1. It boots off ad0 now. Currently I have da0 and da1 mounted and tested them by writing the ad root partition to it. Not tested as part of the running OS, only have been mounted to copy some data to its (then) root partition. Worked OK. Because of reocurring problems with the (currently) da1 drive I have replaced my base system with 2 ata drives, which is FreeBSD-4.7-PRE currently and they have everything but the root partion mirrored with vinum (much like I had da0 and da1 vefore). Root partition is pseudo mirrored with dump every night, as was the case with the da0-da1 setup before. I have put these drives in because my (then) ad0 scsi drive seemed to fail then but after power supply replacement they don't seem to. I'm quite certain that the caveat was the power supply. Have now replaced it with an "Antec True Power" thingie. Seems to run well and my scsi drives (which I had mounted and copied some data to) seem to do OK. But the ATA drives (I think) still meke this clicking sound now and again. I think it's resets and I'm not sure if its hardware failure or perhaps the ata driver in this case. They are ATA100 capable drives on a UDMA66 capable controller. And it works on ATA66, it's just these clicks now and then. Any ideas? Frankly it doesn't seem to be "wrong" rather misconfigured, after all the checks I did. Could this be just the driver or should I be worried (again) that my system is not OK (in which case I would trash the mobo and give up on its current hardware... the again all should be alright now) Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you, and best regards.

USB Manual Reset
Is there some way to manually reset the USB? I've managed to find several folks asking this via searching around in Google, but no answers anywhere to be found. I've already asked this question over on the mobile list, but nobody seems to know. At to why someone would want to do this? Well, I've got this here laptop that seems to up and forget how to talk to the USB ports after coming out of sleep mode. If I perform a full reboot of the system, it picks up on the USB device I have hooked up, and works perfectly. That is, until the next visit to sleep mode. Simply restarting usbd doesn't do it. No documentation that I've been able to track down discusses this at all. Any suggestions at all would be appreciated. Thanks, -- "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

To whom it may concern, My name is Craig and I am in the process of forming a non-profit organization that takes old computers (286's etc...), setting them up for email, word processing, internet browsing, spread sheets, and them giving them to people who can't afford computers. One of my obstacles is finding an OS package similar to MS-DOS, but doesn't cost money. Does FreeBSD distribute something simple that would operate on older machines? Thank you, Craig To do that in a 286 is possible (except for internet browsing). I used Coherent from Mark William Co. (doesn't exits anymore) before 386BSD came out, it uses UUCP for mailing and file interchange. It runs nicely in 286 with 1MB (holds up to 4 serial terms) but I don't think anyone would want to learn it for everyday use (microemacs, vi, mail, etc.). Older machines, with less than, say 4 or 8MB, could use a Freedos, with an old word processor, a spreadsheet and a term emulator, and would connect as dumb text terminals, into a FreeBSD server where pine and lynx (text apps) could be used to access the internet.

Using ipfw/nat is documented very nicely in the handbook however, as is recompiling a kernel.

PPP, dynamic IPs, and handling renumbering
I have a new question. I have ppp set up on interface tun0, got my IP and all, handling the DSL connection quite nicely - so far. Now the question: Since the IP is dynamic, I have some things that need doing anytime it changes, like update the Apache config and restart it, update the zoneedit dns records so I still get my mail, etc. Where do I handle this? Is there an exit hook I can specify for ppp to call when it gets a new IP? I can't even find the dhcp lease or the network broadcast info. When I was with AT&T, it was basic DHCP and it all went into /var/db/dhclient.leases. The only place I can get the IP from now is ifconfig tun0 So is there an exit hook mechanism for ppp? If not, I'm very interested in knowing what other people are doing out there to handle this issue. Thanks a lot.

WINS service over a Point to Point link.
Hello List, I have a question about how I can get WINS to run over a PLIP link. The service does run fine over my two ethernet networks. However, when WINS (run via Samba) tries to determine if there is WINS service running on the lp0 (Parrallel Point-to-Point connection) it fails on the broadcast. There is no 192.168.2.255 broadcast address available to send packets to. I am under the assumption that because there is no way to determine if a WINS server is allready running on that interface. Because no WINS server can be contacted, WINS is forced to fail to announce that it becomes the WINS server on that interface. Is there any way to add a reference to "bravo (192.168.2.2)" to the WINS tables? If I have forgotten to mention anything, please let me know.

HI all I have just begun working seriously with gnome + sawfish, after switching from KDE (I was told gnome + sawfish is going to be the UNIX "standard" GUI). I would just like some recommendations on some programs, btw all X-windows programs can run under gnome right? But what about kde/qt programs? (only some of them or what?) Mp3 (Xmms?) C++ graphical env (not for graphical programming, just a graphical env) (Anjuta?) Browser (Netscape?) Mail/word/nntp (staroffice?) Playing mpeg, divx, wmv, mov? Cd-player? Icq (gnomeicu?) MSN client? Yahoo client (ymessenger?) MS netmeeting client (gnomemeeting?) For developing web pages, a WYSIWYG editor? File manager? IP voice (Speak freely, isn't there a graphical one?) Kazaa client? Btw I found that edonkey can't find any servers. Can it have something to do with the fact that I am behind a firewall and the server is trying to connect to me? Hope someone can suggest some good programs :-) br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Re: Somewhat OT - authenticating sendmail to the verizon mail relay
Looks like I may have it. If this goes out, then I do. Otherwise, I'm still missing something. I rebuilt Sendmail with the following flags in /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl1 -DSASL -D_FFR_UNSAFE_SASL SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl And put the following in sendmail.mc: TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN') define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp:outgoing.verizon.net') MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo') I read in /etc/defaults/make.conf, that I should also include define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupReadableSASLFile') in sendmail.mc if there were any other utilities that needed to access the sasldb file, which I do. However, sendmail doesn't recognize the directive, so I had to take it out. Now I get this in /var/log/maillog when I start sendmail: Sep 29 18:12:54 keyslapper sendmail[681]: error: safesasl(/usr/local/etc/sasldb) failed: Group readable file Sep 29 18:12:54 keyslapper sendmail[682]: starting daemon (8.12.3): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00 So something is still off, even if this message does get thru.

Bad experience
Hello , What is the issue with Freebsd currently? I am trying to move from Open to Free and i have to say the experience to date is undesirable.to say the least. I have tried several different releases this week and everyone has had issues but the most frustrating is the packages. The packages are not there, pkg_add wont work with the format when they are there ex. .tbz, packages not installing properly ie. not installing their deps and broken links and pipes and i mean the latter with regards to the .tgz format which is suppose to work. They did not have any packages for the release i am currently using ...trying to use (4.7rc2) so i was told to use the 4-stable packages. Today i took a peek @ the 4-stable and they appear to be missing just a directory link which gives ./dir not there errors when trying to access and they are once again in the damn .tgz format which does not work. This is very frustrating and time consuming. I truly hope that the project is not normally this sloppy and undocumented, as i continue to look forward to my initial goal. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaF mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

When you install the port, the pkg-message gives you instructions on how
to do this. For gdm 1, you can add en entry to /etc/ttys to start it
(basically replace xdm with gdm in ttys). For gdm2, you need to use the
included ${X11BASE}/etc/rc.d script to start it up.

Dunno if there's an automatic way to do it, but you can certainly do it by hand. The print files are stored in the spool directory you've specified in /etc/printcap. Data files start with dfA. So cd into your spool directory, and use lpr to print the files to the new queue: cd /var/spool/output/lpd/lp lpr -Peps dfA* -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Thanks kindly, The format for redirects differ between "csh" (and derivates) and "sh". As I recall, csh can send stderr to stdout, and not much else (you append a "&" to whatever redirector you're using, e.g. ">&" or "|&"). I haven't used [t]csh for a very, very long time.

migration questions
Hello! I would like to migrate my linux (RedHat 7.1) server to FreeBSD. I am familiar with a lot of unix concepts, but am by no means a guru. I need some information on how to make this transition as smooth as possible. I think I can handle backing up /home, /var/ftp and /var/www (where my ftp & httpd files are at) and I've done enough tweaking of apache I will have no problem transferring that configuration. The three things I'm not so sure about are: 1. my password file 2. sendmail config and the mail queue 3. my firewall & NAT rules I found this document, which seems to address #1: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=981829+984101+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-questions/20020908.freebsd-questions And I found this OpenBSD document that seems to help with installing BSD on a linux machine (although I'm not sure how helpful it is because I'm using software RAID on linux): ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.1/i386/INSTALL.linux Anyone have any suggestions or links to some useful information? I'd like to do this transition with a minimal amount of disruption (no lost mail, no changing of user accounts/passwords.)

Bit off topic: CVS
I followed the steps at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/cvs-freebsd/ to modify an already running cvs repository and all seems good. I allow another user cvs write access and included that user into the ncvs group. I created a new directory and it now has my ownership of gsam:ncvs. The other user was unable to to retrieve the new directory from cvs update. Im assuming its because the directory didn't belong to them. So bottom line, is it possible to setup cvs as its own user so that in a group situation, new files/directories are created as the cvs user instead of the commitor.

This strikes me as odd since it's the drive 4.6.2 was installed from ... Neither dagrab or cdda2wav can spot /dev/acd0a either. What do to? - d.

Samba Auth.
Somewhat off topic, but somewhat related. I would like to be able to have ONE place for ALL my accounts, both NT AND BSD. The reason for this is I am setting up a mail server on a BSD box, but I don't want my users to have to remember 2 different passwords. I know Samba can do Windows file/print sharing, but can I use it like NIS, in the aspect of using it to authenticate to my Win2k AD or WinNT user db?

Somewhat OT - authenticating sendmail to the verizon mail relay
Hey all. I'm having a strange time getting mail out to the FreeBSD list. It was fine before, until I moved to a DSL connection. So far as I can tell, the only real difference is that my new IP doesn't resolve to anything. Thanks to zoneedit.com, however, my domain does resolve to my IP. Here's what I have in sendmail.cf: OSTYPE(freebsd4) DOMAIN(generic) dnl undefine(`UUCP_RELAY') dnl undefine(`BITNET_RELAY') define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES') dnl define(`confTO_IDENT',`0') define(`confTRUSTED_USER', `cyrus') define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrus') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`M=u') FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders') FEATURE(access_db, `hash -T /etc/mail/access') dnl FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(local_lmtp) FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(`nocanonify') dnl FEATURE(`always_add_domain') define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp:outgoing.verizon.net') MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo') . . . I'm sure it has to do with the fact that Verizon's outgoing mail server requires a username and password to do relaying. I know Sendmail can do this, but I can't understand the sendmail README info on it. I've gotten as far as the `authinfo' FEATURE, but I don't think I'm creating the authinfo correctly. I put the following entry in /etc/mail/authinfo: AuthInfo:outgoing.verizon.net "U:MyUserID" "P:MyPW" and I don't think I'm creating the hash correctly: makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo but that just hung. Something's bogus somewhere and I can't quite find it. Until I can get this fixed, I'll probably have trouble from time to time with some of the more tightly configured MTAs, because I've commented out the last four lines there (dnl). Unfortunately, I think the FreeBSD list is one of them - so I'm stuck with Netscape for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unexpected behavior
The following occured recently: my box has been extremely reliable hardware-wise. SCSI, ASUS MB, very stable. Installed 4.6.2 from iso several days ago, compiled ipf, ipf_log, ipf_default_block. Recently the os has started to behave in a new and unexpected way: I can no longer loggin as regular user, gives me message of login:/usr/local/bin/bash: no such file or directory, even though the file is there and the rwx have not changed at all. I changed shell to /bin/csh and loggin then proceeds wo problem, even though another error message shows up, cannot open /etc/termcap, tcsh: using dumb terminal, and puts me in the / directory. When I try to change into my own home directory I get the reply of permission denied Then, when I type startx, which had always worked wo a problem, I get command not found. I type /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and the response is permission denied. All the directories have the x permission bit set, as does startx. Again, this is something that, up to just very recently, had worked wo any problems. Also, I had not done anything to the box just prior to any problems starting. Other interesting situations: typing ll as regular user gives me back the prompt but doing ls of directory gives the the expected output. None of the permissions have been changed and my env path has not changed. One last item: when doing rsync to a floppy or zip disk every so often I get a chown : invalid argument message.

Apache with Front Page Server Extentions - Apache_FP-1.3.26_x
Does the httpd binary executable in this Ported App already have the Apache FPSE patch applied to it? Or, is this just Plain Apache 1.3.26? Also, is it just that the config file has been setup for FPSE, and I have to apply the patches locally, and then rebuild Apache locally? For this Port to work. Is, their other FreeBSD documentation more specific about what needs to happen on the FreedBSD side of installing this Port, and then Using it? Most references push the seeker to the MicroSoft Website which only details the "after" the Server is up and running - and very little about the Server install other than run the install script. Most of the Websites that have documented their install, all show that they have run the FPSE Apache Patch, and then Rebuilt the Apache Server. If this is the case, then this is what I lack to make this Port work. Thanks for your help, in advance.

You can tell the system to boot from an arbitrary disk and kernel file from the boot prompt. There's a man page at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.6-stable&format=html But the invocation you want is something like: boot: 1:da(0,a)/kernels/kernel-new Once you've got your system running you can update the master boot record on da0 using fdisk(8) and/or boot0cfg(8) so that it will give you the option of booting up any of your OSes. Then you may need to reboot to get your loader config stuff back. Alternatively, you can boot up sysinstall from your installation media and reset the MBR through that program. Go into the 'Custom Installation' menu, then the 'Partition' menu. Hit 'q' to quit the partition editor without modifying any partitions, and the next screen will let you choose how the boot manager will be reinstalled when you go to the 'Commit' menu item.

Booting from a CD-ROM
Hello all, I can't search the archives for a solution. I thought I give this list a try. WinXP screwed me last night and I'm forced to reinstall it. I totally forgot that I already have a FreeBSD installation on it and realized only after I installed it that I would not be able to boot if off because WinXP MBR had already overridden it with its own. I don't have floppy on this system, only CD-ROM. I notice there's an option "boot: " I assume, for selecting kernel after booting off from a FreeBSD CD. How do I make use of the option? Do I need to include the specific disk and slice. I have 3 disks da0, da1 and ad0 according to BIOS ordering. FreeBSD stays in da1 and the kernel resides at /kernels/kernel-new. I read from the handbook that boot2 stage spawns off loader or boot3 stage depending on the parameters. Also it explains up until unload and set kernel, if possible I want to use loader because I've done a few customizations in loader.conf which I don't know how to make it out without using a loader.

I have tried something else like adding some pack with "sysinstall" and it told me that could not mount cdrom. I think the problem is hardware. Thank you for the answers!
