Re: housecleaning and portupgrade question
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Jason Hunt thusly... Personally I have always just installed the newer version of a port on-top of the older one. Then I go through the package database and fix the dependencies ... After fixing the dependencies I just remove the directory for the old package and it's uninstalled. yuck, that's one unsanitary way to keep ports updated. I don't know if this is the best way to go about maintaining packages, and I realize that lots of unused/old files are being left around, but FWIW I have not run into any problems. Maybe someone has better advice? portupgrade usage advice has been repeated many times on various freebsd mailing lists; i don't use it for that purpose. this is not a better advice; this is how i upgrade ports w/ help of 2-3 script here there... - modify Makefile as appropriate. - in case of large port like mozilla, i fetch it first (make fetch); otherwise i don't bother w/i this. - in case of a port w/ interesting options, i extract it (make extract) to read the configure script. modify the Makefile as appropriate. - in case of unofficial patches for a port like mutt, i run make patch followed by application of external patches. - run make build (in the new ports directory). if it succeeds, delete the old port; may need to force the issue in case of a dependency port. when a dependency port is deleted, dependent port may or may not need to be rebuilt/reinstalled. - install the new port (make install). sometimes i also create a package (make package) which does the installation too. - file bug report when anything goes awry. log of output from the above process comes in handy at this time. - run make clean compress the logs (bzip2 -9 log) (if i remember). portupgrade ... know I sound like a prick here, but ...) if it's so good then why isn't it incorporated into the base system? many things which are so good are not in the base system, but most people need/use those things. search the -ports, -questions, perhaps -stable list w/ a query like freebsd base system ports include. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
VPN w2k RFC1918 ip to FreeBSD 4.7 firewall?
Hi list. Im about to implement some VPN tunnels at work. We already run a few tunnels from BSD to BSD that works great, but now we need to allow some of our employees to connect from home. Setup looks something like this: LAN -- FreeBSD firewall -- Internet -- ADSL router -- Windows 2k Is it possible to build a VPN from the w2k machine to the FreeBSD firewall, prefferably using already existent software? I know its possible to connect FreeBSD and w2k if they both have static IP's, but in this case the w2k is behind nat and the ADSL router has a dynamic IP. How do others solve this? I mean, there must be someone that has users with laptops, homeoffices and whatever that connects to their work using VPN and FreeBSD. I dont mind using other software besides IPSec, but I do prefer free solutions since Im on a very low budget for this. All suggestions, experiences or ideas are much appriciated. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Instead of beating your brains out writing scripts to do this, simply
install ports/net/rsync. Then synchronizing the file systems on the
two boxes is simple. From the machine with the original copy of the
data:
rsync -avx --delete /path/to/data/dir/ other.machine.com:/path/to/data/dir/
This will copy the data from the original filesystem to the second one
using the minimum amount of network traffic possible.

printing from windows xp to lpd without samba
sorry for this really off-topic post, my excuse is that the working part of this problem is FreeBSD. :) I have a few FreeBSD boxes in an otherwise WindowsXP-only LAN. The Windows machines are taken care of by another person. Things started failing to function on the Windows side of the fence recently, and now the Windows boxes can't see each other, etc. One of the FreeBSD boxes has Samba installed, and shares a printer. This printer is now unreachable except for LPD, which of course works very fine. I can print to in from the XP boxes with lpr, but don't know how to set them to see the printer as a usual shared printer. The other person, who is responsible for the XP boxes, is clueless, of course. I don't *have* to do anything, but thought I'd be nice to my colleagues, who need to, but can't (with no fix in sight) print. Does anyone here know how to setup Windows XP to use a remote LPD? If so, what are the steps?

machine disappearance after upgrade 4.7
Hi everyone, Hopefully someone can give me a pointer or two here. A normally extremely stable machine running FreeBSD has become rather unstable after upgrading to the 4.7 release. By unstable I mean disappearing off the network suddenly, and having console non-responsive to anything but a nice ctl-alt-del reboot. The log files only show one thing that may be of issue: Oct 25 01:05:48 x-wing /kernel: arplookup 207.8.132.194 failed: host is not on local network Oct 25 01:36:27 x-wing /kernel: arplookup 207.8.132.194 failed: host is not on local network Right before the machine disappears, these messages start repeating rather rapidly to the tune of one about ever 5 seconds. This behavior was not seen in any of the earlier FreeBSD releases. The said IP address is the IP for the nameserver of the cluster group, which is responding just fine to requests. A quick search of the archives reveals nothing thats of any help to me so... Have I somehow misconfigured my upgrade, and if so any suggestions on what to fix or where to begin looking? Or have I stumbled upon a legit bug? Machine Info: SMC EtherPowerII nic AMD Athalon 1600+ 512 MB of RAM If more information is needed, it can be provided.

Seems that portupgrade does not cause this problem and is the prefered upgrade method There are numerous examples of this issue. My question is: what is the recommended way to delete an old version application x. This assumes of course that you are sure that it is not depended upon by some other app. Well you don't want to just 'pkg_delete -f' the older versions, since there will probably be a lot of files that got updated by the new version, which would cause a big mess. Personally I have always just installed the newer version of a port on-top of the older one. Then I go through the package database and fix the dependencies (I actually have a small script to do this for me). The package database is stored in the /var/db/pkg directory. Each port has it's own subdirectory, each of which contains a few files to describe the package, it's dependencies, files, etc. After fixing the dependencies I just remove the directory for the old package and it's uninstalled. I don't know if this is the best way to go about maintaining packages, and I realize that lots of unused/old files are being left around, but FWIW I have not run into any problems. Maybe someone has better advice? Also, I never really liked the idea of using portupgrade because it maintains a separate database and a completely different set of commands. I'm not saying portupgrade is bad since I really can't judge it, but (I know I sound like a prick here, but ...) if it's so good then why isn't it incorporated into the base system? I'm certainly open to new ideas, etc, but portupgrade seems like more of a bandaid to the original pkg database then fixing the problem (of upgrading ports and maintaining the database). Comments? Let me know if I'm way out of line. :) Well, you invited opinions. For a long time, I too stubbornly refused to try portupgrade, but once I did install it and use it, I found it to be a really slick set of tools and glad now that I use it. Just because something is not in the base system is not a valid reason for not using a good utility. There are lots of those that aren't in the base system. One really has nothing to do with the other, but if it helps someone to rationalize not trying something, it's as good as any other reason I guess. My reason was simply that I hadn't tried it and was not familiar with its fine abilities. Describing it as a bandaid indicates that one hasn't really tried it and speaks without any experience with the utility. It nicely cleaned up my messes left behind from installs over installs. I don't have the luxuary of the time to write a script or look for those many dependancies. The script has already been written in portupgrade and its tools. But, I understand reluctance to try something new -- that was me and my decision. Best regards, Jack L.

Re: perl / ksh help
hi,
I know some one has already done this and I need a little help. I have
two identical directories on two seperate machines. The files were
moved over fromm machine a to machine b. Everything is working
properly on machine b but all of the permissions were lost.
I've done the following:
(machine a)# find ./ -ls -print perm.list
Gave me the file listing and permisions
(machine a)# cat perm.list | awk '{print $4, ,$11}' newperm.list
This removed garbage like date owners etc that I didn't need.
Now I'm stuck with a file that looks like this:
-rw-r--r-- ./data/dir/data/getme.bin.old
-rw-rw-rw- ./data/dir/data/stp.501
drwxrwxrwx ./data/dir/data/realgoodgold
-rwsr-xr-x ./data/dir/exe/help
If you have the directory on mach a with the perms you want, then
why don't you just tar that dir up with the '-p' flag to preserve
permissions. Then make the directory where you want it and untar
it all, again using '-p' on the other machine .
It should do what I think you might be saying here.
on mach a:
cd /dir-you-want-to-move
tar cvpf ../stuff.tar *
move tar file to mach b
on mach b:
mkdir /where-you-want-stuff-to-go
cd /where-you-want-stuff-to-go
tar xvpf ./stuff.tar
voila!

I'd suggest you install PHP4 individually first, eg:
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4
make -DWITH_APACHE2 install clean
Then install squirrelmail, it looks like you have Apache 2 installed and
PHP can't autodetect it so it needs that -D option set.
Unfortunately, the Makefile for the squirrelmail port says:
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/mod_php4
which means that if ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so cannot be
found at compile/install time, the squirrelmail port will try and
install mod_php4 to fulfil the dependency. Since you've already
installed mod_php4 with the -DWITH_APACHE2 flag, causing the loadable
module to be installed as ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so, the
system will try and reinstall mod_php4, which you've already
discovered doesn't work.
One solution is to patch the squirrelmail port Makefile:
--- Makefile.orig Fri Sep 20 17:38:46 2002
+++ MakefileFri Oct 25 16:49:45 2002

USE_BZIP2= yes
NO_BUILD= yes
Then make -DWITH_APACHE2
The same problem will affect all ports that install PHP code. See for
instance:
o [2002/08/12] ports/41577 portsport security/acid won't see apache2+mod_php4
o [2002/09/21] ports/43225 nbm phpPgAdmin port doesn't work with Apache2 by

I'd suggest you install PHP4 individually first, eg:
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4
make -DWITH_APACHE2 install clean
Then install squirrelmail, it looks like you have Apache 2 installed and
PHP can't autodetect it so it needs that -D option set.
Unfortunately, the Makefile for the squirrelmail port says:
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/mod_php4
which means that if ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so cannot be
found at compile/install time, the squirrelmail port will try and
install mod_php4 to fulfil the dependency. Since you've already
installed mod_php4 with the -DWITH_APACHE2 flag, causing the loadable
module to be installed as ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so, the
system will try and reinstall mod_php4, which you've already
discovered doesn't work.
One solution is to patch the squirrelmail port Makefile:
Good point, will submit a patch to do that in the squirrelmail port
tonight.

Script to change bitrates of mp3s
Hopefully this mail will get through. If the groups get flooded by several similar e-mails in the next day or two, I apologize in advance there are several e-mails hung in my works e-mail server for some reason :( I was trying to figure out how to find out the bitrates and then reduce the bitrates of my mp3s on my freebsd 4.4-stable server. I found MP3:Info which will display bitrate and other information about an mp3. I also found that I can convert mp3 - mp3 using LAME. So this is what I am trying to do now. I would like to write a script to read the bitrate of an mp3 and then if the bitrate is higher then 192 to dump the path/filename to a text file. When I run MP3::Info, the output looks like this. Track = zong_-_ugly_world_-money_mix-.mp3 BITRATE = 160 Is there a simple shell script string that would be something like this? If BITRATE 192 then add path/filename to textfile.txt Thanks for any help.

Copying filesystem(s) to new install
I'm moving an existing FBSD 4.4 server install to a new HDD, and upgrading to 4.7 at the same time. I installed 4.7 on the new drive and had hoped to be able to mount the old drive while running off the new install. The plan was to copy the contents of the original filesystem and easily grab the config files as needed. There is a knwn problem with the old drive (DMA mode is broken, PIO only), and this seems to cause the 4.7 kernel to panic on startup. Although this concerns me a bit, I've booted the 4.6 install off the old drive and mounted a partition from the new drive so I can copy some files over. For comfort, I thought I'd copy everything from / and /usr (old drive is 6GB, new is 40GB so there isn't a space issue). What is the best way to copy the files from a running system? The simplest to me seems to be shutdown all the daemons I'm running and cp -Rp the / and /usr directory trees. Is there a better approach?

Is there a way to install FreeBSD on the free space? I do not have Partition Magic. Any free software out there that can repartition without reinstallation? Thanks. There is a freeware utility that can do this with Microsloth file systems up through fat-32 but since it is XP and, probably, an NTFS partition, invest in a partition managing utility. I have used Partition Magic successfully and have seen BootItNG recommended. I haven't used BootItNG. Partition Magic is generally available in stores like Best Buy, etc. I would guess that BootItNG is also, but it can be had from: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com as well. Generally you want to squeeze the XP partition down to the front of the disk enough to give you what space you want for FreeBSD and have it make you an empty parition (called slice in FreeBSD PARLANCE) out of the rest of the space above it. Then you install FreeBSD in that empty slice. You will divide that FreeBSD slice up in to the FreeBSD partitions you will use for mountable filesystems and swap space. Note the difference in use of the term 'partition' between BreeBSD and MS. Choose to install the full boot manager when you do the FreeBSD install or get one of the other popular ones and install it. The FreeBSD boot manager will allow you to boot either OS just fine, but it does not know what to call XP on an NTFS system so it just labels it ?? in the selection menu. Some of the others are prettier and let you play with stuff a little more. Things to watch: Some older BIOSes will not boot stuff if the address is too high - around 8GB in most disks. It has to do with a cylinder counter not being large enough to count beyond 1024. Partition Magic warns you of where that point is on the disk when you partition it. Microsloth seems to like to have an extra partition or some kind of space at a high address on the disk that I don't know much about - seems to be some sort of scratch space. Make sure you don't wipe that out on a fully running system if it is there. Some vendors, such as Dell make their own sort of hidden space on the disk for their own maintenance utilities. I think that must be treated as a partition (slice) and protected from tinkering. Someone else can probably answer better on this. If you use Partition Magic and the MS stuff is an NTFS partition, you must first install Partition Magic, then make the two rescue disk floppies it tells you about (format two floppies ahead of time) and finally boot to the floppies and do the partition resizing from there. It doesn't seem to like to do it from the installed version on a running system - probably due to the scratch space thing I mention above, but it won't boot the rescue disk without the thing being installed, I guess as some sort of copy protection. I am guessing that BootItNG has to take care of similar housekeeping issues as the NTFS scratch space as well, but don't know how it goes about handling them. Now, of course, you can just have a complete separate disk for the FreeBSD installation if you like and you have the disk available. Then, forget all the Partition Magic or BootItNG stuff. Just make the second disk one big FreeBSD slice, divide it up in to appropriate FreeBSD partitions and then install FreeBSD in that. Still install the boot manager (which will still go in to the sector 0 MBR area of the first disk) so you can choose to boot either OS. jerry -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Using symbolic links in directories for /usr/src and /usr/obj
Hi, I am using Freebsd 4.7 Anybody know if there is a way to have the build system use relative paths that include symbolic links rather than absolute path. The question has come about, because, I would like to be able to auto mount my /usr/build file system from my dev box, where everything is compiled, to the target systems for installation. But using auto mounter the paths are changed and it would appear the build system uses the absolute paths rather than the symbolic paths. I am currently doing static mounts through /etc/fstab of a file system /usr/build. The /usr/src and /usr/obj directories are symbolically linked into /usr/build, but as I export /usr/build from my 'dev' box and it is mounted as /usr/build on the remote systems and the same symbolic links exist on the remote system all is well as the paths on all the boxes remain the same. As soon as I try and use the auto mounter to mount the /usr/build file system the paths on the remote box are now different and the install fails complaining about not being able to find things as the paths to things have changed. Any help would be most appreciated. David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I'm moving an existing FBSD 4.4 server install to a new HDD, and upgrading to 4.7 at the same time. I installed 4.7 on the new drive and had hoped to be able to mount the old drive while running off the new install. The plan was to copy the contents of the original filesystem and easily grab the config files as needed. There is a knwn problem with the old drive (DMA mode is broken, PIO only), and this seems to cause the 4.7 kernel to panic on startup. Although this concerns me a bit, I've booted the 4.6 install off the old drive and mounted a partition from the new drive so I can copy some files over. For comfort, I thought I'd copy everything from / and /usr (old drive is 6GB, new is 40GB so there isn't a space issue). What is the best way to copy the files from a running system? The simplest to me seems to be shutdown all the daemons I'm running and cp -Rp the / and /usr directory trees. Is there a better approach? If you have some media or connection to make the transfer, probably the best way is with dump and restore. dump 0af /media / cd / restore xf /media etc. jerry Thanks in advance, Jeff __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca 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

Do you think so? No. I think you got a bum steer. RTFM. That ip bit is the same as all. Any packet that the filter CAN block (only IP pkts) will be passed by your rule 01000 and so the final rule will never be used whether it's drop or pass. And the counts there show that it has passed 307 pkts. Your problem seems to lie elsewhere. You could do from your shell: ipfw add 100 pass log logamount 1000 all from any to any to get info on the next 1000 pkgs you pass, but I'm not sure how that'd help you. DNS is a frequent culprit. P.S. Leaving your kernel so rule 65535 is deny is safest from a security standpoint because it protects you before the filter rules are configured and if they should get deleted, but there is some chance of limiting you to console access, so people differ on which default they prefer.

usb flashcard reader/writer
Hi, New USB peripheral doesn't work immediately. Probably my ignorance, but I don't know where to look. It's a SanDisk ImageMate (model SDDR-75) dual card reader for CF and SM cards. Is detected properly by my recent (Oct 15) RELENG_4 system: da1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da1: SanDisk ImageMate CF-SM 0100 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da1: 650KB/s transfers da1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Last line makes sense since at that point no cards are inserted. My problem is that I don't understand how to refer to any flash cards that I insert. Somehow da1 should harbor 2 separate mass storage devices (on different LUN's perhaps?) but for starters I don't see anything happen at all when I insert or remove cards. I tried to rescan and look at the scsi bus with camcontrol. How is this supposed to work, if at all?

It recommends ordering your font paths in XF86Config-4 with scalable fonts before bitmap fonts. Xfree86 may perform 2 passes to match a font name.

Hello,
Has anyone came across this error and know how to fix it?
It always occured on my machines when I mixed bag kde-3 and XFree86.
If you are upgrading from major levels, it works better if you remove
them first and then upgrade. Kde-3 doesn't work with XFree86-3.x.x. It
is just the initial install where this happens. I think XFree86-4
stores stuff in different areas. For example, you need to rename
/etc/XF86Config to something else and then configure version 4.

Re: RESEND: configure scripts failing in ports looking for libXext
Kent, Thanks for that info however I completely removes all ports on this last upgrade. I cvsup'd all source and ports... I have been running KDE3 and XFree86-4 for a very long time now with no problems. This problem here just started 2 days ago when I rebuilt everything. Any more suggestions? Thanks Michael Mercer Kent Stewart wrote: Michael E Mercer wrote: Sorry if this is a repeat, got a response that this email was not allowed... I subscribed to freebsd-questions and now resent this... later Michael Hello, Has anyone came across this error and know how to fix it? It always occured on my machines when I mixed bag kde-3 and XFree86. If you are upgrading from major levels, it works better if you remove them first and then upgrade. Kde-3 doesn't work with XFree86-3.x.x. It is just the initial install where this happens. I think XFree86-4 stores stuff in different areas. For example, you need to rename /etc/XF86Config to something else and then configure version 4.

Re: backspace and del keys

Re: backspace and del keys
Figured it out for xterms. Readline(3) uses an initialization file .inputrc to customize commands. There was no inputrc file in the system si I added one in etc and set INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc in the /etc/bashrc file. I actually took the file from my Linux system but is has the following line. \e[3~: delete-char This works fine in X but does not change the virtual consoles. That is not a problem because I rarely use them. The best thing about it is that I have learned quite a bit during this little exercise. You assistance is greatly appreciated.

Re: How to chmod on FAT32 partition?
Some time in the recent past David Gerard scribbled:
OK, got disk up. (Problem was I didn't know its make. ad3s1 eventually
worked.)
Now it seems I can't make it writable by anyone but root:
diva# ls -l viv.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html
diva# chmod g+w viv.html
diva# ls -l viv.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html
diva# chmod a+w viv.html
diva# ls -l viv.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1987 Jul 4 05:21 viv.html
Same for any files. Is this some sort of FAT32 limitation? Is this
documented anywhere?
I know it's documented somewhere but I'm too lazy to look right now. I
know for a fact if you search the archives you'll find more detail.
The short answer is that FAT32 has no concept of permissions there's not
way to 'change them' on a per file/dir basis. When you mount a FAT{32}
partition it'll inherrit the permissions of the mount point. So
chown/chmod that directory and re-mount.

Yahoo Messenger problem

regarding fat32 logical partition
Hello, How can I make my fat32 logical partitions (inside an extended one) visible from FreeBSD. At the moment I can mount only the primary partition (or at least the installer can see only the primary partition and I have no idea how the logical ones are named) Thanks (again) :) Razvan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Yes, tput kbs returns the Backspace key for that terminal definition in termcap. Apparently not. In my screen(1) window, I can see with stty -a that erase is set to ^H. My backspace key sends ^H and works fine as a ``backspace''. The delete key sends ^[[3~. The tput commands only prints an ASCII 127 (DEL) character: keramida@hades[02:07]/home/keramida$ tput kbs | hd 7f|.| 0001 I'm not sure if that's correct, or a bug. But it certainly won't match your backspace key. At worst, it will match your keyboard's DEL key, and will create the impression that backspace and DEL keys work backwards. Giorgos.

If you care to make the BootItNG partition smaller (though it looks as if you have plenty of space), you can uninstall it, resize your partition(s) to cover the newly opened space, and reinstall BootItNG. You don't have to create a dedicated partition for it. It will create its own 8mb FAT partition if installed to a drive without one. I tried to let it create its own partition, but failed. I can probably make the partition smaller if I use FAT16 instead of FAT32, which requires some minimum space per partition. -Zhihui Now that I think about it a bit more, perhaps I'm wrong about that. I think I had a FAT32 disk and asked BING to install itself on an NTFS/FBSD RAID volume using two other disks. It took up only 8mb on the RAID volume, but that was likely just the boot stuff - the rest of the files went to the FAT disk, probably. One other thing from the message that vanished into the aether, and the reason I'm not using BING as my bootloader any more - adding Linux to the boot menu is not automagic, it involves a fair amount (15-30 minutes) of fiddling. Why FBSD is 2 seconds and automatic, while Linux is not, you'll have to ask BING's author.
