HELP!!! error installing ports
Hi all, When I downlaoded the ports initially with cvsup I could install any port by typing make install. After I updated the ports a couple of times, I get the error make: dont know who to make install. Stop in /usr/ports... Why am I getting this error now and not before?

upgrade to 4.7 over net?
Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade from 4.6.2 - 4.7 via the net. Is this possible on a running system? I have read the stuff about upgrading in the release notes but it is a bit vague. It says you should try /stand/sysinstall but from the version you are upgrading to. So does this mean that you copy sysinstall onto the system you will be upgrading from the CD or from the internet? Any pointers would be appreciated. Iain.

It's PCI, works perfectly under Windows ME, and it is the only nic I have; what were the results of putting it into another PCI slot as advised by Stacey? however the sis driver seems to be not on the list of drivers (driver selection, graphical mode); instead it seems to be detected independently, the menu you get at the beginning of an install lists selected *ISA* devices. PCI devices are, indeed, autodetected. (you still have to enable their respective drivers, either by compiling them into your kernel, or loading the appropriate kernel module.) FreeBSD should highlight all devices that have IRQ conflicts. for a year ago the same person who informed me to install from CD also told me to uncheck/delete all drivers in the list and the sis would be detected normally... please enlighten me if it is otherwise.

using an extended partition for freebsd
Hi everyone: I am installing 4.7-REL on a PC with one PRIMARY and one EXTENDED partition. The PRIMARY partition is FAT and I have W98 there. I want to use the EXTENED partition (the WHOLE partition - there is currently nothing there) for FreeBSD but I read that FreeBSD needs to be installed into a PRIMARY partition. SYSINSTALL's FDISK program has an option (Change Type) that lets me change the EXTENDED partition to FreeBSD, but I don't know if it is changing the partition to PRIMARY or just making a cosmetic Label change. And if it is making the change, will the BIOS recognize it (will anything break) Will SYSINSTALL's FDISK program do what I need it to do? If not, what tool can I use to change the EXTENDED partition to a PRIMARY partition? FYI, SYSINSTALL's FDISK screen is: Disk Name: ad0 Disk geometry: 4865 cyls/ 255 heads / 63 sectors = 78156225 (38162MB) Offset Size EndName PType Desc.

I have never converted an extended into a FreeBSD primary. I just added my FreeBSD slice and went on with the install. In one case, I had a W2K partition after the fbsd and in one case I had two in front of it. My first primary was always FAT32 so that I could move FreeBSD data between OSes. The other Windows partitions were all NTFS. In both cases there were 3 partitions on the drives where FreeBSD was installed. This was during the transition from 3.x to 4.1 and FreeBSD's boot had to be under 8.4GB (cyl 1024 with LBA). Since then, I haven't had to worry about sizes.

When I did the installation I probably picked the wrong boot loader. I choose NONE (I always get confused at that section of the installation).

Bluetooth (BlueZ) or WLAN in FreeBSD
Lo ppl, i'd like to link a WinME PC to my FreeBSD via Bluetooth or WLAN, depending on what works and / or is cheaper. The (air-line) distance is around 10 meters through 2 walls. What would you recommend for this scenario (e.g., what drivers will work fine with FreeBSD)? - 2 WLAN devices - Internal PCI card - external USB box Or - 2 bluetooth USB dongles While i'm sure i will find a way to make windows use ip over bluetooth, i wonder if FreeBSD in the latest release will make it. I found this project: http://bluez.sourceforge.net The FreeBSD mailing archives lead me to this link, but on this site it talks of Linux only, and i cannot compile it on FreeBSD =( The bluetooth solution seems smarter to me, and i'd love to see it work on my fav OS, as i can plug it out and carry it around in my pocket, use it with cellular phones, notebooks, other computers etc, so i would try this if bluetooth is supported at least in a basic manner.

Re: Port Replicator

Relatively cheap, well supported printer
I've had big trouble getting my Canon multifunction printer to work under FreeBSD. My question is, What printer can you all suggest as being well supported under FreeBSD, and at the same time relatively cheap. I saw a lexmark z23 for $49, but don't know if it would work very well. I'm looking for something sub $100. It doesn't need to do anything fancy; I'm going to print a lot of text and very few graphics.

Re: using an extended partition for freebsd
Hi everyone: I am installing 4.7-REL on a PC with one PRIMARY and one EXTENDED partition. The PRIMARY partition is FAT and I have W98 there. I want to use the EXTENED partition (the WHOLE partition - there is currently nothing there) for FreeBSD but I read that FreeBSD needs to be installed into a PRIMARY partition. Right. An extended partition is something MS came up with to get around some historical narrow thinking. FreeBSD doesn't need that. It just needs slices (which are called partitions by Microsloth). SYSINSTALL's FDISK program has an option (Change Type) that lets me change the EXTENDED partition to FreeBSD, but I don't know if it is changing the partition to PRIMARY or just making a cosmetic Label change. And if it is making the change, will the BIOS recognize it (will anything break) Well, it really all is just label stuff. I don't know if I would strictly call it cosmetic. Will SYSINSTALL's FDISK program do what I need it to do? If not, what tool can I use to change the EXTENDED partition to a PRIMARY partition? If you let fdisk turn the space in to a FreeBSD slice, then it is a slice. If it is a slice then you can install FreeBSD on it (providing it is big enough). You will need to let it install the boot manager to be able to dual boot. jerry FYI, SYSINSTALL's FDISK screen is: Disk Name: ad0 Disk geometry: 4865 cyls/ 255 heads / 63 sectors = 78156225 (38162MB) Offset Size EndName PType Desc.

Re: Linux Compatability and compiling linux program - problem with...
Hello - On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, joe wrote: I am atrying to compile a linux program under FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE. I have installed linux_base but seem to be missing a number of files, specifically header files. DISCLAIMER - this is from a FreeBSD newbie. If the program is not Linux-specific (or specific to linux-only libraries), you might try using generic sources and running 'configure', then compiling instead of building from Linux sources. The negative is that the app would not be automagically managed - you would have to know it was there, look for upgrades, etc. The missing headers are things I would expect in the Linux kernel sources, if that gives you any leads. SoI obviously don't have the header files... Do I need to install the entire linux src? There may be a port of just the headers. That should be enough of the sources to compile. You would need suitable a suitable intermediate library to link, which takes you beyond my knowledge here.

Abort trap: problem solved
Dear Sirs. I reported a few days ago about a problem related to an 'Abort trap' error whereas I suspected the gcc-2.95-4 compiler suite doing weird things. The problem has been solved and was very simple, but tricky to find. I think many other 'Abort trap' errors reported in the newsgroup related FreeBSD has the same source. Clusterwide we use a similar /etc/login.conf file that defines several classes and one 'power'-class with infinity-resource rights. This caused the problem, I think there was something wrong and we stopped investigating for that after the source for our problems has been revealed. Everything works as expected and great under FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE (as I expect this). Thanks for your answeres and hints. Oliver -- MfG O.

I'm using a CVSuped version of Quake2 that supports IPv6 (http://www.viagenie.qc.ca/en/ipv6/quake2/ipv6-quake2.shtml), which compiles without problem in my FreeBSD-4.5 When I try to use Eraser or Lithium, I usually obtain this problem: jrh@pulgon:/usr/home/jrh/.quake2$ ./quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game lithium Quake 2 -- Version 3.21+rCVS Added packfile ./baseq2/pak0.pak (1106 files) using /home/jrh/.quake2/baseq2/ for writing Added packfile /home/jrh/.quake2/baseq2/pak0.pak (1106 files) using /home/jrh/.quake2/lithium/ for writing execing default.cfg execing config.cfg --- Loading gamei386.so --- LoadLibrary (/home/jrh/.quake2/lithium/gamei386.so): Undefined symbol ___brk_addr ERROR: failed to load game DLL Error: Error during initialization I don't understand the meaning of __brk_addr error. It could be anything related to the Linux emulation ? Has anyone tried to do this before ? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks. -- JFRH.

RE: Port Replicator
You seem like you know what your talking, all im trying to do with the serial port is use my external modem, my internal is a dumb winmodem thus I cant use it. From what I understand I have 4 solutions to my modem problems 1. Buy a port replicator 2. Buy a USB Modem 3. Buy a PCMCIA modem 4. Buy a USB-RS232 adapter As far as my research goes a USB modem or PCMCIA modem seems best. I was looking at /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and it had a decent list of USB modems(I amuse they all work within FreeBSD). I could do this. Or get a PCMCIA modem(pccard if im not mistaken). I don't have a lot of money so I buy something it NEEDS to work. So my question is; What solution seems sense to you people and why. And if you've experienced my problem, what did you choose, and be sure to include make and model so I can go out and get the same :) -Original Message- From: Bruce M Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:04 AM To: Vladimir B.

This sounds very similar to how my Z600 works (which works without a hitch, the sio chip is integrated into the notebook's chipset). I would imagine the FX series are similar. If you have a free PCMCIA slot, though, there is always the alternative of a sio card, which are available very inexpensively these days. I would recommend this over the use of a USB-RS232 adapter, because the ASICs used by these products vary widely and may not have driver support.

Upgrade recommendations
I'm currently running 4.5, and want to upgrade my machine and was wondering what you might have for recommendations. It has dual 333mhz Pentium II cpus, an S3 video card, 256mb RAM and a 20gb hard drive - not cutting edge hardware by any means! All it does is serve my small web sites via Apache and run some low volume mailing lists via Mailman. It isn't kept too busy, but it shouldn't be down for long periods nonetheless. I'm thinking of 3 possible paths: 1] A binary upgrade using the latest 4.x (4.7?) 2] A binary upgrade to 5.0 3] A reformat and complete upgrade to 5.0 - I already have the web site mailing list dbs backed up. As scary as it sounds, I'm leaning towards #3. It seems it shouldn't be too hard to move the Mailman database stuff to a new machine, so my main concern is how stable 5.0 is at this point. I'm willing (heck, even want) to play with some bleeding edge technology, but I do need it to be running with extensive handholding.

I looked through both the mailist archives, in the adaptec manuals, and the adaptec site to see if there was any sort of similar message listed, but I found no info. Anyone know what this means? I looked at the list of LEDs, wondering if 0x3 meant LED #3, but that does not make sense, as that is 3 Indicates the controllers internal operating system is in its idle loop. Thanks for any help. I have had some random freezeups on the machine, off an on, most recently an hour or two before this adapter reset happened, and I was wondering if they are related.

I just think they might be related, like maybe the RAM module on the adapter is flaky or something.

HEIMDAL/KERBEROS V: what do I need?
Hello. I wish to setup a Kerberos V environment using the default stuff comming with FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. When I did a make world I ommited compiling Kerberos IV support, only compiled Kerberos V/Heimdal and the great question is now: I miss several programs to initialize a KDC/master KDC and I guess the lack of Kerberos IV vanishes these utilities. Can anyone inform me whether the FBSD 4.7 Kerberos V/Heimdal suite is usable in a production environment (Kerb-V) and do I need to compile also the Kerberos IV stuff to get a full working Kerberos V/Heimdal environment?

The command is this cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup2.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile For exact information, do a man cvsup. Your question is very similar to asking what a shell script does and then only provide the name of the script. Cvsup does not update your ports. It only updates the port data structure. It also only updates the structures you have provided in your ports-supfile, which you didn't list. When you have cvsup updated the port-structure, you can cd into the directory of a port and then make and install port. Some of this behaviour depends on the file /usr/ports/INDEX. This file is updated infrequently and many of us update the ports with a shell script that also cd /usr/ports and does a make index. When your INDEX file has also been updated, your port structure is truly current. For example, my uports looks like ruby# cat uports #! /bin/sh cd /root/cvsup cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile 21 | tee /var/log/build/ports_cvsup.log cd /var/log/build # Now convert the log to html` cvsuplog ports_cvsup.log ports-`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`.html # Now update the index pages. portsdb -Uu I use the portupgrade set of tools and need both INDEX and INDEX.db updated. I also want an html version of the changes, which is what cvsuplog does for me. Since I upgrade the INDEX files everytime I cvsup, I have added ports/INDEX into my ports-all refuse file. There is no reason to update something that will be immediately replaced.

FTP prob in PHP 4.2.3/install older version?
I've found that PHP 4.2.3 seems to have a problem with ftp_* functions. I have a web-app called SquirrelMail with a plugin that uses FTP to manage your .procmailrc and SpamAssassin settings. The plugin works about 5-10% of the time. This web-app on an older box running PHP 4.2.1 seems to not have the problems that it does in PHP 4.2.3. So I was wondering if there was a way to install an older version of this port. If I install mod_php4 via the packages, it doesn't come with FTP support. I've already CVSup-ed my /usr/ports directory and my backup of the old version is over a year old. (My last make world went from FreeBSD 4.4 to 4.7.) Does anyone have any ideas? I need to make sure that at least IMAP, FTP, and MySQL support are compiled into mod_php4.

Make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster, and make kernel can be performed on a running system. Then with any luck you are only a reboot away from being updated. That's what I do. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] = There have been serious issues with ssh, apache, and probably other things since 4.5. You may be vulnerable. This is not an issue with the base system. the ssh has been patched and Apache is not part of the base system and can be updated separately from ports or packages. I'm running on e of the latest versions not vulnerable. Also, am running 4.5-RELEASE p-20 which is right up to date with security patches. I don't track STABLE. but do track all security patches and update as and when they come out so, one doesn't have to upgrade above 4.5 to have the security. Best regards, Jack L.

SYSINSTALL/FDISK
Hi: Please read the whole post before replying. Yes, I know that DOS allows 4 PRIMARY Partitions and the history and purpose of an EXTENDED Partition. I am installing 4.7-REL on a PC with one PRIMARY and one EXTENDED partition. The PRIMARY partition is FAT and I have W98 there. The EXTENDED partition is empty as it was originally set up to be a place for FreeBSD. Unfortuneately, I now understand that FreeBSD needs to be in a PRIMARY partition. (EXTENDED was recommended by the disk's customer service rep was was familiar with Linux but not BSD) Also, SYSINSTALL's FDISK program says that one should put FreeBSD in a partition labeled as unused. However, the Change Type command lets me change the EXTENDED partition to FreeBSD. I tried it and it seemed to work (I could even make it bootable) but I decided not to proceed because I don't know what is going on behind the scenes: is it really changing the partition to PRIMARY or just making a label change (is that the same thing)? I don't want to wind up with a disk that is unuseable. And if it is making the change from EXTENDED to PRIMARY, is this something that the BIOS will be OK with? Alternatively, should I use the SYSINSTALL/FDISK Delete option on the Partition and then create a new partition/slice instead of Change Type? If SYSINSTALL's FDISK program will not do what I need can you direct me to a tool can I use to change the EXTENDED partition to a PRIMARY partition? Thanks, John Daniels FYI, SYSINSTALL's FDISK screen is: Disk Name: ad0 Disk geometry: 4865 cyls/ 255 heads / 63 sectors = 78156225 (38162MB) Offset Size EndName PTypeDesc.Subtype Flags 0 63 62-6 unused0 63 12594897 12594959 ad0s1 2 fat 11 12594960 65561265 78156224 ad0s2 4 extended15 78156225 9135 78165359 - 6 unused0 _ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
FTP forwarding
Hi all I know this is not a FreeBSD question, but I hope someone can help me. I have one global IP and a cisco router. On my LAN I have 3 FreeBSD 4.7 servers. On one server I run the standard ftpd, so I have to forward ftp traffic to that server. I should forward: 21 and 49152-65535, right? Also port 20? Btw, I know how to make the router forward one port, but can I just write ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.2 49152-65535 interface dialer0 49152-65535 to forward all those ports? In the future I will also run httpd, smtpd, sshd and pop3d (and maybe imapd) servers, do any of these need some special ports above 1024? br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

There have been serious issues with ssh, apache, and probably other things since 4.5. You may be vulnerable. All valid concerns. But I don't use ssh (have it turned off) and I have kept Apache patched. I do run some updates, just haven't jumped whole hog into the water. Make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster, and make kernel can be performed on a running system. Then with any luck you are only a reboot away from being updated. That's what I do.

Re: fp2002 over nfs
From: Jesse Geddis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using a dns round robin of FreeBSD 4.6.2 web servers running apache 1.3.27 is there anything special that has to be done in order to make Front Page 2002 extensions work assuming the module is installed on all web servers and the front page files (binaries etc) would be NFS mounted as well via a NetApp F825? Please include me in the CC as I am not subscribed. As long as the frontpage binaries are still accessable from /usr/local/frontpage, there should be no problems with such a setup. All you can do is try it, and let us know if it works correctly with the FrontPage client (98/2000/2002) and browsing the site to a page that is using frontpage components (i.e. does fp counter work correctly).

File-systems
Hi again :-) Just some filesystem questions. What filesystem does FreeBSD use for disks (1.44mb and 120 mb). In windows they use ms-dos, but my guess is that we don't use FFS for disks? and how do I format a disk to our filesystem? Why is it what we don't have to fragment our hard-disks all the time like I did in windows? I also heard that the filesystem for hard-disk will be updated in FreeBSD 5.0, can you guide my to some info about this? br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Probably picked wrong boot loader
Jonas Fornander [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How can I add the standard boot loader or do I have to re-install again? I'm fairly sure that you can boot the install floppy and at some point while it's booting it gives you a chance to interrupt and boot from the hard disk. (You might have to wait till you get to the main menu and then use the fixit option and floppy, but I doubt it.) The problem is that you have to learn how to name the disk partition which holds the kernel which you have already installed. It's probably explained in the handbook or a paper BSD book. It's kinda nasty, something like: 0:ad(0,a) Before you give up and re-install, try just using the menu options as far as adding the boot loader and then exit out the menues to reboot (and ctrl-alt-del works too, IIRC).

Re: Relatively cheap, well supported printer
I strongly recommend that you get a used PostScript laser printer, or at least a laser printer with an HP laser printer emulation. Unless you're not apt to care about ink costs and jet clogging and slow printing. 300 DPI is plenty good for most purposes. I see new 600 DPI laser printers are now quite cheap, but I don't know about their compatibility.
