NIS server oddities
Hi All Many folks use this? Our NIS master server was until a recent drive crash a 3.5 stable machine. NIS worked OK but for ypserv intermittently core dumping and being unable to push maps to slave servers. I got around this by making the slave servers pull their maps more often. The error when pushing maps to the slave servers is still there on 4.6 as is the intermittent core dumping of ypserv. Here's the error when pushing maps: ppush: .sanbi.ac.za .sanbi.ac.za .sanbi.ac.za: couldn't create udp handle to NIS server: RPC: Unknown host How best to troubleshoot this? I've tried putting the slave servers in /etc/hosts to no avail. The slave servers are both Irix, one 6.5.8m the other 6.5.17m Anyone else use the FreeBSD NIS server stuff?

Thanks all the for the replies! Tim, when you say you just installed the linux binary, are we talking about just using a redhat RPM or something equivalent?

Although I did notice that during the build of the port, it checked for ALOT of the stuff contained in the Linux compatibility module.

Re: floppy not mounting
On Wed, Oct 16, 2002 at 03:55:21PM -0700, Wayne Lubin wrote: As I discussed in an earlier email that the fd0 device is not showing up on dmesg. Can it be that I burnt out the floppy drive and now at boot up the floppy is not being detected? It's possible that your floppy has indeed bitten the dust. Certainly you won't be able to use it from FreeBSD until the kernel probes for it at boot time. You should see both fdc0 and fd0, like this: happy-idiot-talk:~:% grep fdc /var/run/dmesg.boot fdc0: NEC 72065B or clone at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold fd0: 1440-KB 3.5 drive on fdc0 drive 0 However, to confirm that it has actually blown up, beg, borrow or steal a bootable floppy from somewhere and see if the box can be persuaded to boot from it. One of the FreeBSD installer disk images would be a good choice, or a memtest86 disk from http://www.memtest86.com/. If the drive is still working, it suggests that somehow it's got into an inconsistent state and can't respond to the kernel's probe attempts. That shouldn't happen --- the kernel should be able to interface with the hardware and put it into a consistent state however it was left. You might find that simply booting from a floppy image resets the drive and that the next time you reboot into FreeBSD it starts working again. Otherwise you should try completely powering down your system --- not just hitting the power switch on the front, but unplug it from the wall and leave it for at least 10 minutes so that any internal capacitance can discharge.

The hour (just seconds after 03:00am) points to the daily scripts that FreeBSD runs to check things. The program that fails is called dump.

Hown can I eliminate this error?. By fixing the problems that dump(8) has. I am using freebsd 4.6 release #1. Release kernels do not have #1 as their number, but #0. This is probably an indication of a kernel recompile that you did, without going through the recommended buildworld/buildkernel steps. If this is the case, you have kernel that is not in sync with your userland tools, and that could very well be the cause behind the dump(8) failures that you're seeing. Giorgos.

Some (broken in my opinion) BIOS implementations will refuse or fail to boot from disks that do not have a valid partition table.

Problem Building Gnome2 from ports
Hello all! I am trying to build gnome2 from the ports collection I cvsuped yesterday. When it gets to the section of building the xscreensaver-gnome it errors out with a line saying /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lgtk. Is there a workaround for this, or better yet a fix?

The main hardware differences between the two are that the current server has: pII 350 processor, Netgear 310TX NIC The temporary machine I am swapping to will have: PII500 processor, and a D-Link NIC Has anyone done this kind of thing before?

Which Scsi Raid controller to choose?
Hi, We are in the process of setting up a large NFS server and we are looking for a reliable disk system to be used by the OS. (The data will be placed on some large Storagetek raids). We have a bunch of 2BGyte SCSI disks that we plan to use for this purpose. My question is: Which SCSI RAID controller should we use? We would prefer RAID 1 with hotspare drives or a RAID 5 solution. The controller should be well supported under FreeBSD. We have used 3Ware controllers in the past but we have had some problems with some of them - one nice feature of them is the ability to remotely control them via a web interface and the controller is able to send out emails if it detects problems with the raid. A similar solution and features would be preferred but it's not essential. Any suggestions for a good RAID SCSI controller is appreciated :) Regards and have a nice weekend all -- Lasse Laursen [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Systems Developer NetGroup A/S, St. Kongensgade 40H, DK-1264 København K, Denmark Phone: +45 3370 1526 - Fax: +45 3313 0066 - Web: www.netgroup.dk - We don't surf the net, we make the waves.

Re: swapping hard drives
You'll need to make sure that support for the new NIC is compiled into the kernel you're running on the old server. You'll also need to be prepared to address any network topography and security issues that come as the result of this host having a new MAC address, etc. OTOH, I've done this at least three times, and only once did it require any significant tweaking at all. The last time was last week, when I moved from a Cyrix 166 to an AMD 300 (with different NICs) just by moving the drive from one to the other. The catch there is that the box wasn't doing a whole lot, so it wouldn't have been a big deal. In the interest of being safe, generally I'll just build a substitute box and route services to it while I work on the original. But, as I said, I've had only a little trouble with doing what you propose in 3 tries.

sendmail woe
I've been having this problem for some time, I thought the upgrade to 4.7 might fix it - it didn't. Neither did using a fresh config file from /usr/src/etc/sendmail. The problem is this: while SMTP works fine, and sendmail otherwise works for the receiving of mail, sendmail doesn't seem to send mail correctly. It appears to be sending it to (the SMTP server on?) localhost.com, instead of locally. Thus I can't send mail via sendmail, or via anything that uses it. The error messages change depending on the state of localhost.com, before it said relaying denied, now it just times out. I have a feeling changing my hostname from domain.tld to sub.domain.tld would be a workaround, but I'm looking for a better solution. I'm 95% sure I'm missing something simple here.

I thought IPFW had a way to remember the ports opened by ftp and creates rules dynamically based on the ports opened buy ftp. You're thinking of the punch firewall option in natd. If you're using the ftpd that comes with FBSD, you will see in the man page that the default port range is 49152-65535 so as I understand it, you do not need to open ports 1024-49151 as they will not be used. I am also told one can further limit the port range used by the default ftpd by modifying these sysctl vars: net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152 net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535 However I have not actually tried this. I don't know if there's any significant security advantage in limiting the port range further as I have not seen any discussion on this.

Re: Reconfigured named, but now getting errors
Hi Nick,
I swear.., this thing was working after I had a fiddle this morning
after sending my last e-mail off to you. Now I can't run nslookup on my
domain:
# nslookup www.vickiandstacey.com
Server: localhost.vickiandstacey.com
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost.vickiandstacey.com can't find www.vickiandstacey.com:
Non-existent host/domain
#
Although I *am* able to resolve remote address okay:
# nslookup www.freebsd.org
Server: localhost.vickiandstacey.com
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:www.freebsd.org
Address: 216.136.204.117
#
Don't know why this suddenly stopped working, but take a look at what
I've got here:-
named.conf:
// If you enable a local name server, don't forget to enter 127.0.0.1
// into your /etc/resolv.conf so this server will be queried first.
// Also, make sure to enable it in /etc/rc.conf.
zone . {
type hint;
file named.root;
};
zone 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA {
type master;
file master/localhost.rev;
};
zone
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.INT {
type master;
file master/localhost-v6.rev;
};
And my Zone statements:
zone vickiandstacey.com in {
type master;
file master/vickiandstacey.com.db;
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.1/24; };
};
zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa in {
type master;
file master/192.168.1.db;
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.1/24; };
};
This is what I thought was the solution for the zone files:
$TTL 3600
vickiandstacey.com. IN SOA Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
postmaster.vickiandstacey.com. (
2002101605 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh

604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL
@ IN NS Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
Demon IN A 192.168.1.8
snowballIN A 192.168.1.6
And for the reverse resolution:
$TTL 3600
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
postmaster.vickiandstacey.com. (
2002101605 ; Serial

86400 ) ; Minimum TTL
@ IN NS Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
8 IN PTR Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
6 IN PTR snowball.vickiandstacey.com.
And /etc/resolv.conf:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain vickiandstacey.com
search vickiandstacey.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 158.43.240.4
nameserver 158.43.240.3
#
I'm *definitely* at a loss here. Why would it work, and then stop
Thanks for the suggestions., do come back to me with any ideas that you
might have.

Re: using an extended partition for freebsd
Someone slandered FreeBSD thusly: It just needs slices (which are called partitions by Microsloth). Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Some (broken in my opinion) BIOS implementations will refuse or fail to boot from disks that do not have a valid partition table. They are simply broken, since it's not that hard to load the master boot record of the first system disk in memory and run its code, but their very existence makes disks with valid partition tables a necessity :-/ Are you sure? I suspect that they just need 0x55aa at the end of the MBR. Otherwise, their definition of valid is probably broken too, so that you still don't need actual slices. But you couldn't set it up without slices using just sysinstall in that case, I'll have to admit. I guess we should say that FreeBSD needs slices only when slices are needed. Many users will not need them, especially for non-boot disks, but their use doesn't cost much and eliminates the risk of running into software which requires their presence.

Difference between versions
Hi, I would like to know if FreeBSD has a file somewhere that says with file and with driver was changed between the release of different versions. For example for FreeBSD 4.7 there would be a file on the FreeBSD cd indicating the files changed between the version 4.6 and 4.7. I know that there is a file like that in NetBSD called changes. But I could not find one for FreeBSD.

CPU Temperature (was Re: A curious dmesg output entry)
On Thu, Oct 17, 2002 at 02:07:40PM -0400, Jud wrote: After trying and failing to get the xmbmon port to work, I found that the author has a 2.0 version of xmbmon available at his website. It's FreeBSD native, supports the latest motherboards, and is quite easy to install. No extra SMBus stuff needed in the kernel. I just had to remove disable in the kernel line re APM and put apm_enable=1 (or was it YES?) in /etc/rc.conf. Curious. I wonder why xmbmon-2.0 isn't in ports yet? The need, or not for SMBus support in the kernel depends on exactly which chipset you have on your motherboard. Mine isn't supported through the ISA bus, even with version 2.0, but the SMBus stuff just works. The author also has FVCool, a CPU cooling utility. It reduces my CPU temp by 14 or 15 degrees C (from 46 to 32 or 31). Again, it's native and easy to install. (BTW, yes I do have CPU_SUSP_HLT in my kernel options. This utility is obviously doing something the kernel option isn't. The author says the same thing the utility does can be accomplished with pciconf, but I don't know how.) Wow --- how cool is that? Well, according to my temperature monitors, it's 17.3 degC down from the previous day's average. Doing the same job with pciconf is a matter of working out by hand what registers to alter on which device, but why bother when fvcool already knows the answers?

Re: A curious dmesg output entry
Two questions. In my config file I have the apm0 device uncommented but it does not show up during a dmesg. Is that OK? Should the apm0 device NOT show up during a dmesg? Also, what does this apm0 device do? In LINT is says apm: Laptop Advanced Power Management (experimental) and so it seems that it is for laptops, and not for my full size pc. And so it seems that it should do nothing for this kind of computer. In fact I have gone into the CMOS and enabled stanby mode to engage after 20 mins. of idle time. But I have noticed that my computer never does to into standy mode. Thanks for the help.

Re: Reconfigured named, but now getting errors
Hi Ceri, I understand why you would suggest that I add an A record for www.vickiandstacey.com in the zone and reverse files, but what remains with me is wondering *why* all was well earlier this morning - that is: I was able to resolve .vickiandstacey.com, returning the external IP addr.., *and* able to resolve other local machines on the private lan (including Demon.vickiandstacey.com), returning local private IP addresses for them. Upon my return from work (feeling rather pleased with myself too) I thought I'd like to see this again, but that's when I saw that I was now unable to resolve www.vickiandstacey.com (other Internet hosts were fine btw). With respect to you suggestion though, presuming that I am supposed to add the external IP address for Demon in the zone file, what then becomes of Demon's *internal* address? That is to say, running nslookup from another lan box I would like Demon's 192.168. address returned, but running nslookup on www.vickiandstacey.com should return the *external address (which is what I saw earlier this morning). From your e-mail advice last evening, I thought that the new set up I would attempting to implement would have then involved enabling my local boxes to use Demon to resolve local machine names, but for external addresses, my nameserver set-up would be such that these queries would then be passed to my ISP's NS's. Have I still got this concept wrong? Thanks for the encouraging words by the way, I do appreciate your efforts.

/usr/home/joeblow sudo mount_smbfs //photocd@pdx-james/pub mnt Password: Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error Here is the meat of my sudoers file: # User privilege specification rootALL=(ALL) ALL # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL What is preventing joeblow from using mount_smbfs? You need to enter the sudo password first, and the password to mount the share second. Alternatively, you could edit the sudo config file to allow wheel users to do that command with no password. I think it would look something like this: # Let wheel users mount_smbfs whatever they want without their password %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount_smbfs -Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
problems with 'nautilus2' port
Hi All, I had GNOME installed, and just recently upgraded to GNOME 2.0 (after cvsuping to the latest ports tree). Nautilus2 built fine, but when I try to run it, I get the following error: nkj@grenzik: ~$ nautilus /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libgailutil.so.13 not found nkj@grenzik: ~$ When I use the binary package (pkg_add -r nautilus2) I get the same error. Here is what nautilus stuff is instelled: nkj@grenzik: ~$ pkg_info | grep nautilus nautilus-gtkhtml-0.3.2_1 A simple NautilusView component for displaying html files i nautilus2-1.1.16GNOME file manager and graphical shell developed by Eazel nkj@grenzik: ~$ I upgraded from GNOME 1.x and am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I did try to get rid of what GNOME 1.x stuff I could identify, (and which did not have listed dependencies), so I'm not sure if that did it. Also, I've tried removing nautilus2 and re-building, but I get the same behavior.

PAE support?
Does the x86 version of FreeBSD support accessing physical RAM mapped above 4GB? In other words, does FreeBSD support PAE (Physical Address Extension)?
