nVidia drivers w/ 4.7-RELEASE

[Gautham Ganapathy]

Hi

Will the nvidia drivers work with 4.7-RELEASE? 4.7-STABLE won't have
ISOs, right?

mrtg problem after portupgrade

[budsz]

Hi,

I've problem in my box, Yesterday I was try to upgrade port and packages
with this step :

1. Update port tree without X system.
   $ cvsup -g -L 2 port-file
2. Backup packages database.
   $ cd /var/db
   $ cp -rf pkg pkg.old
3. Check all dependecy application.
   $pkgdb -F 
4. Process updating. 
   $portupgrade -a -O -l /root/UpdateLog

   I was add -O because Amavis-Perl-11 require qmail-1.03_1 but in my
   system installed qmail-1.03.
   
5. Check again dependecy.   
   $ pkgdb -F

After that my mrtg graphic was broken, Look like full traffic but scale
does't increase (Only 1 bps/s - 10 bps/s), I tried to reinstall mrtg but
no change.

TIA

  I've had this happen a few times.  Basically my lib

  the location of
  the lib to that file.
 
  Unfortunately, I don't have a /etd/ld.so.conf and
  creating it does
  nothing.  I only have /var/run/ld.so.hints and that

For anyone interested, the solution was to put:
ldconfig_paths=$ldconfig_paths /usr/local/lib/mysql

into /etc/rc.conf.

The key part is the $ldconfog_paths.  Without that, all the other lib
directories get ignored.  I was just putting ldconfig_paths=
/usr/local/lib/mysql which solved my initial problem but prevented
the system from seeing the other lib directories.

The release notes say:

 - FreeBSD -STABLE, version 4.7 or later

which should include 4.7-RELEASE.  There have been various reports
around the mailing lists of people getting the nvidia drivers working
on other versions, including 5-CURRENT, but NVIDIA won't support that.

 4.7-STABLE won't have ISOs, right?

Probably not, but see http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 for
sites where you can do a network install of a more recent snapshot.
Or read Chapter 21 of the Handbook about how to track -STABLE:

VPN and roaming Windows 2K users

[Marcin M. Jessa]

Hi guys.

   
 Do you know how to 
make a FreeBSD firewall a VPN server for roaming Win2K boxes (Win2k users without 
static IP's)? 
I've been playing with racoon for a few days but it seems that the only way it can 
authenticate roaming Windows VLAN users
is with preshared certificates.
This again excludes usage of manual keying (pre_shared_keys) which is nessesary for 
accepting connections from dynamic IP's.The preshared keys 
method can be configured to accept connections from specified hostnames and that could 
work with windows
boxes that run a dyndns client.  Again Windows and racoon can only communicate using 
certificates and not manual keyingan evil circle.
Windows can speak with racoon if one makes racoon to automatically exchange keys but 
this works
only if Windows clients have static IP's... 
Have any of you guys an idea about what to do to combine these methods?
 Or maybe there is a 
workaround? 
Please squeeze your brains and let me know about whatever you think may be of interest 
in this metter. 


Thanks in advance

YazzY

Re: configure the printer (II) and apsfilter

[Lin Jianfong]

Looking at the date the source file was last modified, which is in year 
2000, I don't think you should worry about this if you're using FreeBSD 
4.7-STABLE which is the latest version at the moment. But if the advanced 
features don't work while you suspect it should, then this is worth doing, 
otherwise, I would say if it's not broken, don't fix it :).

Simple enough:

This perl snippet will convert a dotted quad address into an integer:

NAT, when configured in the usual way, shouldn't affect the source
address of an incoming packet -- just the destination.  Similarly it
should rewrite just the source (internal) address on outgoing packets.
For a webserver behind a NAT gateway, the nat'ing process should be
essentially invisible: the internal network appears to be directly
connected to the internet.

I don't see quite what you are trying to achieve here.  Could you tell
us some more detail about the layout of your network, what you're
seeing at the moment and what you'ld like to see?

I have noticed a similar occurance in some of my SCTP testing with
all of the BSD's. In particular the linksys pcmcia cards seem to
do this. In my testing and analysis this always seems to occur
when the card is busy and what happens is you lose some packet
and another appears to be duplicated... I traced this out
with ethereal a while ago and then just stopped using that
card when I figured out it was some sort of circular buffer
issue.. I did not dig in and find out if it was the card
or driver... I rather suspect it is the card (since it is
a low end one).. but one never knows...

Dual monitor console

[Richard Jones]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with documentation on how to set up a dual headed
console?

I've got two nVidia cards playing quite nicely with X, but what I'd
really like is to have them run two consoles e.g. ttyv1 maps
to monitor0 and ttyv2 maps to monitor1.

For those wondering, I often find console text the most comfortable to
read, and would love, when for example troubleshooting, to have logs
scrolling on one monitor whilst tinkering on the other. (Plus it would
look very 80's hacker film ;)

TIA,

Richard

Re: FreeBSD 4.x and Apache+mod_ssl

Marcel, 

Thanks for the help, but I am either too sleepy or too slow to make 
this work right. I did these steps from the /usr/ports/www/apache13-
modssl/ directory:
make
make certificate TYPE=custom
make install

When I do the make install, it automatically writes in the snake oil CA 
and server cert, which are old and expired. How do I get it to 
recognize and use my new custom CA and server cert?

Thanks again for the help. I am also sending this to freebsd-questions.
Ron Clark


 from /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl/ run:
 make certificate TYPE=custom
 
 and follow the prompts..  remember to copy them to wherever you're 
storing the 
 certs apache uses and run make from that dir to update the links... 
 
 That should do it :)
 Hope this helps!

Re: VPN and roaming Windows 2K users

On Wednesday 20 November 2002 05:07 am, Marcin M. Jessa wrote:
 Do you know how to make a FreeBSD firewall a VPN server for roaming Win2K
 boxes (Win2k users without static IP's)? I've been playing with racoon for
 a few days but it seems that the only way it can authenticate roaming
 Windows VLAN users is with preshared certificates.
 This again excludes usage of manual keying (pre_shared_keys) which is
 nessesary for accepting connections from dynamic IP's. 
   The preshared keys method can be configured to accept connections
 from specified hostnames and that could work with windows boxes that run a
 dyndns client.  Again Windows and racoon can only communicate using
 certificates and not manual keyingan evil circle. Windows can speak
 with racoon if one makes racoon to automatically exchange keys but this
 works only if Windows clients have static IP's...
 Have any of you guys an idea about what to do to combine these methods?

 Or maybe there is a workaround? Please squeeze your brains and let me know
 about whatever you think may be of interest in this metter.

I use mpd to serve 95,98, 2000 and XP boxes using their VPN' connection.
This seems to work well and  you can coach a remote user through the
Windows setup over the phone with minimal trouble.

I use racoon and IPSEC between offices with FreeBSD boxes on each end.

XFree86-4 Built From Ports Dumps Core

[Drew Tomlinson]

I have built XFree86-4 from a freshly updated ports tree on an Digital
Personal Workstation 500au (Alpha).  However when attempting to start
the X server, it dumps core.  I have tried 'XFree86 -configure'.  When
that didn't work, I used the 'xf86config' program to create a config
file choosing card 284 (Matrox Millennium 4MB) from the card database.
Now, when running 'startx', the system reboots.  I have searched Google
but could not find any entries that relate to my problem.  Any ideas on
how I can get this working?

Thanks,

Drew

Re: help!!!

[Kliment Andreev]

 I tried to rebuild kernel even, but without result.
 The network card is not detected.
 What to do? Help, please.

Are you sure that your NIC is working fine? Try another PCI slot and remove
all PCI cards except video card. Reboot and check dmesg to see if your card
is there.

BIND 9 problem

I am working with a BIND 9 server which, for some reason, isn't
setting the authoritative bit on zones for which it is the
master (as clearly stated in named.conf). Has anyone seen this

Re: Portsupgrade -uU

[Stacey Roberts]

Hi Scott,
   Usually warinings and errors of this nature are the result of some
changes being made throughout various bits of the ports tree.

For those of us in userland (mostly with ports-all installed), it often
appears quite daunting and (rightly?) would need reassureance that all
is still well on our systems (I myself am [repeatedly] guilty of this).

At the moment, there *are* some changes happening, an example of which
is the creation a new /usr/ports/finance ports dir into which there are
plans to move other ports currently existing under /usr/ports/misc 
/usr/ports/deskutils. For a few days, this leaves the ports tree in less
than spectacular states, but should come right sooner or later.,

Hope this helps.

Stacey

When I know try to send a mail to 'userone' with 'mail -v
userone' I get the following error (same error in
/var/spool/clientmqueue): userone... Connecting to
localhost.mydomain. via relay... userone... Deferred:
Connection refused by localhost.mydomain.
  
   One more thing to add: This works fine, when I am connected
   to my ISP. So this might be a problem with DNS configuration?
 
  I just had a similar problem with a couple of my machines.
 
  Try changing the 'search' line in resolv.conf to a local domain name.
 
  For instance, my /etc/resolv.conf file is like this:
 
  search localdomain.net
  nameserver ?.?.?.? (real dns servers)
  nameserver ?.?.?.?
 
  And my /etc/hosts file:
 
  127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain.net
  192.168.19.1 gateway gateway.localdomain.net
  ...
 
  sendmail_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf
 
 Why disable sendmail?

That's a good question!  I just needed local mail delivery.


 
  My big problem was my isp's DHCP server was assigning me a
  domain-name which would change my resolv.conf file. To solve that
  I had to add a supersede line in dhclient.conf.
 
 Yeah. Had a similar problem on a local box. I also added a prepend
 domain-name and prepend domain-name-servers line to dhclient.conf; like

connecting to SCSI drive

[Bob Hall]

I use a DVD burner for backups, and I usually forget to turn it on 
when I boot my FBSD box. Turning it on and rebooting isn't a big 
deal, but is there a way to get FBSD to see the drive without 
rebooting? Is there a process that can be reset or a command that 
tells FBSD that the drive exists?

VPN

[Scott Pilz]

There are an increasing number of ISP's that are now offering VPN
services to their customers. I've looked into this very little - to the
point where I did setup a VPN server on FreeBSD however according to what
I have read on the internet, the latest/newest/best release of PPP is not
compatible with BSD (yet). This latest version of PPP offers support for
Windows machines to use their method of encryption, and is not supported
in earlier releases of PPP. While I was able to connect to the VPN server
without encryption, I was not able to do so with encryption.

I'm wondering what you others have run into, and what packages
work best for your customers. I realize that many ISP's are now buying
these awfully expensive pieces of equipment designed to run VPN and only
VPN ... to save the company some money, any alternatives to these
appliances?

Thanks.

Scott

NAT Help

[Ben Craig]

Hi,

I'm trying to get NAT up and running on my FreeBSD
4.7R gateway machine and have hit a bit of a wall. 
Have looked around online for FAQs and other help and
haven't really been able to isolate the problem this
way.  If anyone can offer advice, I would be most
appreciative.

I have a FreeBSD machine configured as a gateway for a
LAN.  The BSD machine has two NICs (fxp0 and vr0). 
fxp0 is connected to a router via ethernet, which in
turn is connected to the Net via ADSL.  The router is
very basic and doesn't have all of the functions we
require, hence the BSD box being the gateway.

vr0 is connected to a hub for the LAN, which all uses
internal 10.0.0.x IP addressing.  The FreeBSD box
provides DHCP for this range.  All of this is working
correctly.  We also have a couple of external IPs
which I would like to map onto a couple of servers on
the private LAN, and herein lies the problem.  I just
can't seem to get NAT working to redirect these IPs
from the BSD machine to the relevant internal IP.

On the BSD machine, I've compiled a kernel with the
following options:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE

The following options exist in rc.conf:

gateway_enable=YES 
firewall_enable=YES 
firewall_type=OPEN 
natd_enable=YES 
natd_interface=fxp0 
natd_flags=-redirect_address 10.0.0.2 x.x.x.x
-redirect_address 10.0.0.3 x.x.x.x 

(where x.x.x.x is of course the external IP).

rc.conf also contains the following ipconfig settings
for the external IP addresses (of which there are 5).

ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=inet x.x.x.x netmask
255.255.255.248
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=inet x.x.x.x netmask
255.255.255.248
ifconfig_fxp0_alias2=inet x.x.x.x netmask
255.255.255.248
ifconfig_fxp0_alias3=inet x.x.x.x netmask
255.255.255.248
ifconfig_fxp0_alias4=inet x.x.x.x netmask
255.255.255.248

alias0 is used as the IP address for the gateway
machine and my intention is to redirect traffic on the
remaining four addresses to other machines on the LAN.
 This is where it falls down and I'm stumped.

Regards,

Ben Craig.

mrtg-2.9.25 seems fine: I removed mrtg, added it to HOLD_PKGS in

this should all work
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib

then you'll find that /usr/local/mrtg2 needs to worked around:

cd /usr/local/bin/

cd ../mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2

ports and Perl version

[Dayne Miller]

Hello-

I didn't see an obvious answer to this anywhere. If one exists already, please 
feel free to give me a virtual slap (but please provide alink at the same 
time...) Otherwise, I could use some help.

On a FreeBSD 4.7 system, I've installed a newer version of Perl, using the ports
system (new version in /usr/localbin is 5.8.0, system-installed version is 
5.005_03 in /usr/bin)

Anyway, I went to install Nagios (via ports) the other day, and the SNMP plugin 
install quit because of complaints that it needed a newer version of Perl that 
that which came with the system. Since I actually have that newer version 
already in, I just need to figure out where the port Makefiles are pulling their 
path info from. Or find a way to explicitly state which Perl version to use in 
the make process. I'm unsure of how to do this.

Any help, or a pointer to said help, will be greatly apperciated.

Putting home directories on mounted windows network drive

[Adam Lofstedt]

Hi (Please CC any responses to me, as I get the digest version)

Right now my FBSD firewall box is also my lightly-used ftp server with
chrooted ftp users.  An old machine (P133, 1.8 G Hard Drive) just got
freed up, and I would like to move the ftp services over to that old
thing.  The problem is the Hard Disk is real small, and the board won't
support a larger one.  I do have plenty of space on several windows
machines (NTFS) partitions, and was wondering if I could just mount an
NTFS network partition on the FTP box, and store the User's Home
directories on that Partition.  Do you see anything wrong with this
approach?  How are permissions handled (a mix of NTFS and UNIX
permissions?)?  Can you even mount a networked windows drive in FBSD
(using Samba I guess)?

Thanks for any advice!

Re: Putting home directories on mounted windows network drive

[Mat Branyon]

You can put a larger hard drive into the machine, as long as you make
the root/boot partition under the first two gigs.  although your bios
doesn't support large hard-drives, freebsd does.  as far as  i can tell,
freebsd just doesnt get the hard drive info from teh bios.  i had a 40
gig hard drive in an old compaq 166mhz pentium mmx.  never had a problem
with  it.  
you can also mount the ntfs partitions via samba or nfs, whichever you
would rather use.   when you share a filesystem over the network, to my
understanding, file permissions are handled via smb or nfs protocol, of
which both freebsd windows can share.

Can't boot with FTP floppies

Hello again:

Please disregard my prior e-mail, below, as I believe the problem was my ram memory is 
too small on the computer.   I tried your floppies on a 24 meg ram computer and they 
work fine.

The computer I had been trying load on was a DEC with 8 megs of ram.  
It worked on the earlier distro, but not the later ones.

Subject: Can't boot with FTP floppies


Hello:

I downloaded your FTP boot floppies for versions 4.6, then 4.6.2, and 4.7, kern.flp 
and mfsroot.flp, used FDImage to put them on MSDos floppies but they failed to get an 
options screen after both disks were loaded.   Kern.flp loaded then the mfsroot.flp 
loaded but produced a boot prompt and nothing else, giving the message No 
/boot/loader and then No /Kernel.   Hitting the enter key did nothing except 
repeat the boot prompt.

I then tried version Free BSD 4.4 floppy files from a CD, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, 
using FDImage, and they worked fine, putting me into an options screen for 
partitioning the hard drive.   I noticed the CD floppy files had a /sysinstall screen 
that the FTP floppies lacked.

Is part of the boot loader missing from your more recent version FTP floppy files?

I've tried everything, even reading the instructions, but nothing works except the 
earlier boot floppies from the CD.

Thanks for any ideas.

Bandwidth Monitor

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I've looked high and low but I haven't be able to find the tool I want.

I just want a simple way to see how many bandwidth/throughput my FreeBSD is
using. For example I want to know how many kb/second are coming in and out
of specific network cards. Eventually I will read these stats every minute,
and make a nice little graph, or something similar.

Also something similar, on windows I have a firewall that can show me all
the connections made in and out of the box, with the current speed of each
app.

I'm pretty sure FreeBSD will have these, but my searching of Ports and
google have yet to find me exactly what I want.

thanks
Andrew

AB of specific network cards. Eventually I will read these stats every minute,
AB and make a nice little graph, or something similar.

AB Also something similar, on windows I have a firewall that can show me all
AB the connections made in and out of the box, with the current speed of each
AB app.

AB I'm pretty sure FreeBSD will have these, but my searching of Ports and
AB google have yet to find me exactly what I want.

AB thanks
AB Andrew

1) really fast (to install and to see first results) solution:

/usr/ports/net/ntop
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html
(but I have no idea how it will behave on a busy
wire - seeing a lot of connections - over a longer time)

2) MRTG

/usr/ports/net/mrtg
http://www.mrtg.org

provides you with some scripts in it's contrib/
to monitor bandwith by using 'ipfw count' rules
(it produces nicely configurable graphs in a min. 5min interval)

I use racoon and IPSEC between offices with FreeBSD boxes on each

   Have you ever tried using vtun between the FreeBSD machines?  I've
   never used racoon/IPsec between FreeBSD machines, but I was overjoyed
   at the simplicity and workability of vtun.
   Just curious if anyone has used both that could compare them.
 
  Yes, I used vtun for about a year. It worked fine as long as the network
  stayed up between here and the West Coast, but, when it went down for
  any length of time, which happens quite regularly in the middle of the
  night, it wouldn't reestablish. I find that IPSEC is more robust and you
  don't need to run PPP over it (although technically, you don't have to
  with vtun). IPSEC stays up and reestablishes itself.

 I've never run ipsec, but have used vtun for about 3 years b/n 4 different
 DSL/cablemodem setups and it re-establishes it's connections for me... at
 least I've never had a problem with it...  from the man page:

persist yes|keep|no
   persist mode.  If  yes,  the  client  will  try  to
   reconnect  to  the server after connection termina-
   tion.  If keep, the client will not remove and  re-
   add  the  tunXX  or tapXX device when reconnecting.
   If no, the client will exit (default).  This option
   is ignored by the server.

 -philip

I remember using that. The details are coming back to me now. We
were getting situations where the network would go down, then come
back long enough for things to start reestablishing and then go down
again. After a few of these, I would get a call from the other office
about..network's down again. I could then kill both vtund's and
start from scratch and all was well. It was probably some kind of a 
race condition. (We also have a better network provider now 8-)  ).

Buf, Wired and Inact memory

[Avleen Vig]

I' asking here because I don't think the top an page is discriptive neough
for people who 'just don't get it' ;)

I understand that Inact memory is memory that has been requested by
processes but not in use. Is this correct?

I don't understand however, what Buf and Wired memory is used for. How
many I free some of this up for use by my other processes?

The top of my Top output looks like:
66 processes:  2 running, 64 sleeping
CPU states:  1.5% user,  0.0% nice,  1.5% system,  0.0% interrupt, 96.9% idle
Mem: 49M Active, 37M Inact, 27M Wired, 6000K Cache, 22M Buf, 5448K Free
Swap: 256M Total, 5920K Used, 250M Free, 2% Inuse

Yeah it's a fairly idle system but has a few stability issues which I
think as disk related.
It's running qmail, djbdns (may switch to bind but i know that would use
more memory), apache 2, and some user apps like pine, irssi, screen, etc.

Any advice on optimizin memory usage would be really appreciated. It's
only a little P166 with 128Mb :-)

I have found a little utility called trafshow to be useful.  It gives
you per-connection stats, as well as overall throughput for a given
interface.  It's at /usr/ports/net/trafshow.

RE: NAT Help

[Derrick Ryalls]

 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to get NAT up and running on my FreeBSD
 4.7R gateway machine and have hit a bit of a wall. 
 Have looked around online for FAQs and other help and
 haven't really been able to isolate the problem this
 way.  If anyone can offer advice, I would be most
 appreciative.
 
 I have a FreeBSD machine configured as a gateway for a
 LAN.  The BSD machine has two NICs (fxp0 and vr0). 
 fxp0 is connected to a router via ethernet, which in
 turn is connected to the Net via ADSL.  The router is
 very basic and doesn't have all of the functions we
 require, hence the BSD box being the gateway.
 
 vr0 is connected to a hub for the LAN, which all uses
 internal 10.0.0.x IP addressing.  The FreeBSD box
 provides DHCP for this range.  All of this is working 
 correctly.  We also have a couple of external IPs which I 
 would like to map onto a couple of servers on the private 
 LAN, and herein lies the problem.  I just can't seem to get 
 NAT working to redirect these IPs from the BSD machine to the 
 relevant internal IP.
 
 On the BSD machine, I've compiled a kernel with the
 following options:
 
 options IPFIREWALL
 options IPDIVERT
 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
 options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
 
 The following options exist in rc.conf:
 
 gateway_enable=YES 
 firewall_enable=YES 
 firewall_type=OPEN 
 natd_enable=YES 
 natd_interface=fxp0 
 natd_flags=-redirect_address 10.0.0.2 x.x.x.x 
 -redirect_address 10.0.0.3 x.x.x.x 
 
 (where x.x.x.x is of course the external IP).
 
 rc.conf also contains the following ipconfig settings
 for the external IP addresses (of which there are 5).
 
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=inet x.x.x.x netmask
 255.255.255.248
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=inet x.x.x.x netmask
 255.255.255.248
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias2=inet x.x.x.x netmask
 255.255.255.248
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias3=inet x.x.x.x netmask
 255.255.255.248
 ifconfig_fxp0_alias4=inet x.x.x.x netmask
 255.255.255.248

I am no expert and have never aliased before, but I think you need to
use the netmask of 255.255.255.255 (0x) for aliases.

 
 alias0 is used as the IP address for the gateway
 machine and my intention is to redirect traffic on the 
 remaining four addresses to other machines on the LAN.  This 
 is where it falls down and I'm stumped.
 
 Regards,
 
 Ben Craig.

 Hi (Please CC any responses to me, as I get the digest version)
 
 Right now my FBSD firewall box is also my lightly-used ftp server with
 chrooted ftp users.  An old machine (P133, 1.8 G Hard Drive) just got
 freed up, and I would like to move the ftp services over to that old
 thing.  The problem is the Hard Disk is real small, and the board won't
 support a larger one.  I do have plenty of space on several windows
 machines (NTFS) partitions, and was wondering if I could just mount an
 NTFS network partition on the FTP box, and store the User's Home
 directories on that Partition.  Do you see anything wrong with this
 approach?  How are permissions handled (a mix of NTFS and UNIX
 permissions?)?  Can you even mount a networked windows drive in FBSD
 (using Samba I guess)?
 
 Thanks for any advice!

Looks like some network stack code is responding poorly to malloc()
failing (which it can).  Any chance you can generate a stack trace for
this by compiling DDB into your kernel, then using the trace command to
generate the trace?

Read LINT (or NOTES) carefully.  You can't set KVA_PAGES to 1024,
because then your kernel would take up the entire 4 GB virtual
address space.  Since the kernel must fit into 4 GB alongside
every user process, that leaves you no room for programs.  Try a
more reasonable value like 512 (2 GB).

Acroread5

[Simon1]

I'm having troubles opening PDF files with Acroread5 (acroread-5.06_1,
installed from ports).


As root, I can open any file and I'll never get an error.

As a user, I can't open ANY files with the default settings. I always get
an error:


Title of the error window: Acrobat Reader 2 (I should note: The 2 ONLY
was displayed when I loaded Acrobat Reader, THEN went to file-open, if I
just acroread5 test.pdf from the command line, the error was the same, but
the 2 was NOT in the error windows title bar.)


There was an error opening this document. A temporary file could not be
opened.

So, I checked permissions on /tmp

drwxrwxrwt  13 rootwheel  512 Nov 20 17:22 tmp

I am able to create and delete files in /tmp as this user.

$ touch /tmp/test
$ ls -al /tmp/test
-rw-r--r--   1 simon1  wheel0 Nov 20 17:46 test
$ rm /tmp/test
$ ls -al /tmp/test
ls: /tmp/test: No such file or directory

Our of curiosity,
$ mkdir /home/simon1/tmp
$ chmod 600 /home/simon1/tmp
$ TEMP=/home/simon1/tmp ; export TEMP
$ acroread5 test.pdf

I get the same error as with /tmp.

Next I tried:
$ chmod 700 /home/simon1/tmp
$ acroread5 test.pdf

Which worked beautifully.

I've done searches on the net (Google, FreeBSD, and I read the man page 
ports information) and I haven't seen anyone mention what's going on. I
see where a insecure /tmp file vulnerability has been fixed. On my past
install of FreeBSD + Acroread5 from ports about 3 months ago I didn't have
this problem. So I'm wondering if the fix isn't what's causing this.

I'm running 4.7-RELEASE.

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I need to set to use
acroread normally? Also, if the default behavior of acroread has been
changed to require people to use their own personal temporary directories

So smbfs doesn't even require samba to be installed?  I read about
Sharity Light and Sharity, but if smbfs is already on a base install of
FreeBSD, then I don't think I even need it.  Can anyone confirm if smbfs
is included in the FreeBSD install, along with the other mounts like

Re: FreeBSD gateway

Hello!
I have installed FreeBSD 4.7 recently, and it seems it does not want 
to work as a gateway. I have two network cards in my FreeBSD 
computer, fxp0 for LAN and sis0 for the cable modem. I am new to 
FreeBSD, so I am confused what the difference between gateways and 
routers is (I was thinking they link to the same thing). I can ping 
my FreeBSD box from winxp, I can ping internet from remote session to 
FreeBSD, but I cannot ping internet from my winxp.
My winxp has ip 192.168.0.1, netmask 255.255.255.0, and gateway 
192.168.0.18 settings. Now FreeBSD /etc/rc.conf follows:

gateway_enable=YES
kern_securelevel_enable=NO
nfs_reserved_port_only=YES
ifconfig_sis0=DHCP
ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.0.18  netmask 255.255.255.0 
#router_enable=YES # from handbook gateway_enable=YES 
firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN natd_enable=YES 
natd_interface=sis0 


 natd_flags= #/ handbook




Are your ip's reversed?  I think the gateway should have the .1 address
and the xp box should use the .18



Nope. He set his FreeBSD box to the IP 192.168.0.18 and his Windows XP 
box to 192.168.0.1 . All is ok with that. It is only uncommon to do. 
Normally you would give the defaultgateway for a network x.y.z.1 or 
x.y.z.254 . But it is not forbidden to set it to any IP in that subnet.


Are you using the default kernel?  If so, you will need to add a couple
lines are recompile.

options IPFIREWALL  #firewall
options IPDIVERT#divert sockets

as for the difference between a router and a gateway, a gateway is a
machine to deal with going from one network (lan) to another network
(wan), I think.



 From your point of view (as needed for this problem) routers and 
gateways are the same. In this case the FreeBSD box is acting as a 
router for your internal net to the Internet. A simple router would do 
the same. But for more complex routing you have to either setup gated 
(or similar software) or add all rules (if they are static) by hand.
A gateway is the simplest form of a router.

The last two lines from dmesg:
IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, rule-based 
forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled
ip_fw_ctl: invalid command



That hints to a problem with the /etc/rc.firewall script (which is 
called when you add to /etc/rc.conf firewall_enable=YES).

Please provide us with the output of ipfw list. (You have to do that 
as root of course). I think your firewall ruleset is not tuned for a 
gateway situation.

Hope that helps

Marc



# ipfw show
001000   0 allow ip from any to any via lo0
002000   0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
003000   0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 8102 5158330 allow ip from any to any
655351  60 deny ip from any to any

I want FreeBSD to act as a simple gateway for my LAN, but for some 
reason it does not want to work that way, though I have confirmed to the 
installation programme that I want FreeBSD to function as a gateway. 
What are the simplest steps I need to follow to make FreeBSD act as a 
gateway? (I have a fresh 4.7R installation)

Thanks.

How to return file date only?

I am trying to return the creation date of a file in MMDDhhmmYY format. I'm

Under cygwin the command is `date +%m%d%H%M%y -r $FILE`, however FreeBSD

 You'll need to use an application such as gphoto to view images on your

This camera won't work with gphoto. It should work as a usb mass

XFree86 Problem: Cannot Disable Virtual Desktop

[Scott R.]

[I am not subscribed to this list, so please cc: me in any replies. 
Thank you.]

For the past couple of days, I have been trying to find something, 
*somewhere* that would tell me how to make my desktop the same size as 
my screen.  Right now, the virtual desktop is roughly twice the size of 
my screen.  I generated my XF86Config file using 'xf86config'.  In the 
past (in version 4.2.0, for example), there was a question in there that 
asked would you like your desktop to be larger than your screen (y/n)? 
(or something along those lines), but, this time through, the question 
was not there and I cannot for the life of me find anything in 
XF86Config, the manpage, the list archives or google to help me out. 
Can anyone give me a clue?

This is XFree86 4.2.1 on FreeBSD 5.0-DP2.  Please let me know if you 
need more information.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

I can't help directly, but have a suggestion. If you have multiple 
resolutions set you can switch between them with alt+ctrl+[+|-] (plus or 
minus sign on the numpad). I have some hardware at work that was a real 
PITA to get working with X and I never solved the problem you're having. 
However, by loading X, then switching through the resolutions as above, I 
could get the right resolution to fit on the screen.

I can't explain it, but it works. It's not tidy, but it does work. Does 
that work for you?

Re: Setting date with securelevel over 1

Hey all,

Is there an easy way to set the date using the date command when 
securelevel is over 1?

The easiest is to turn it off in rc.conf and reboot, set the time, 
turn it back on and reboot. You are limited to deltas of 1 second in 
the secure mode. It doesn't take a big change before rebooting is much 
quicker. If you have a fulltime network, you can run ntp to keep it on 
time.

Re: shutdown with power button

[Dan Nelson]

In the last episode (Nov 21), Ertan Kucukoglu said:
  Yes.  You can also tell the system whether to sleep or shutdown, for
  every button ACPI has access to (handly for laptops where you want the
  lid switch to shutdown the system instead of put it in standby, for
  example).
 
 Last question. Where to set it up? man pages etc. ?

I believe 5.0 will load acpi automatically if a module exists for it. 
If it doesn't, rebuild your kernel with options acpi.

I don't think there are any real docs for it yet.  For setting the
switch states, run sysctl hw.acpi to list the switches acpi knows
about.  The switch names will all end in _state and have a value of
S0..S5, S0 being full power, S1-S3 being different sleep states, S4
being hibernate (not supported afaik), and S5 being power off.  Run
sysctl -w hw.acpi.blahblah_state=S1 to set.

Épargnez de 15% à 80% sur vos coûts publicitaires !

[Didier__b_r]

Du bureau de Didier Bonneville-Roussy
St-Barthélemy


Cher ami et entrepreneur,


Ceci est le premier numéro de la Lettre du marketing géométrique. Le coût de 
l'abonnement pour un an est de 197$.


Par contre, j'ai décidé de vous envoyer cette première lettre gratuitement et de vous 
offrir un abonnement d'essai de trois mois pour seulement 7$. Lisez attentivement les 
informations que je vous livre dans ces huit pages et décidez-vous dans les 15 jours.


Il y a 7 ans, lorsque j'ai commencé en marketing, je me suis rendu compte que je 
pouvais épargner des sommes considérables en frais de publicité en étudiant de manière 
approfondie la nature de la relation entre les médias et les agences de publicité, 
ainsi qu'entre les médias et les organismes communautaires.


J'ai remarqué deux choses: les agences paient toujours moins que les autres 
entreprises et les organismes communautaires paient toujours moins que les agence de 
publicités pour faire paraître leurs annonces.


J'ai découvert comment payer en tout temps le même prix que les agences (rabais de 
15%) et dans certaines circonstances le même prix que les organismes communautaires 
(50% de rabais).


Si vous me laissez vous expliquer comment tout cela fonctionne, vous serez, vous 
aussi, avant la fin de cette lettre, en mesure d'épargner de 15% à 80% sur vos coûts 
publicitaires, et même, dans certains cas, d'obtenir des pages et des pages de 
publicités gratuites.


Commençons par les agences. À peu près tous les médias, radio, télé, journaux, 
magazines, les agents de listes et les sites internet offrent un rabais automatique de 
15% aux agences de publicité qui placent des annonces. Lorsqu'on regarde dans le CARD 
(Canadian Advertising Rates And Data) et le SRDS (Standard Rates And Data Service), 
qui sont les deux répertoires des tarifs publicitaires, nous pouvons noter trois types 
de rabais:


1. Rabais au volume présenté sous forme de prix réduit par ligne agate ou sous forme 
de prix réduit pour un nombre prédéterminé d'insertions en un an;
2. Un rabais de 15% aux agences;
3. Un rabais pour paiement rapide (généralement de 2%).


Le CARD et le SRDS portent tous deux la mention «rabais offert aux agences reconnues 
seulement», lorsque l'agence de publicité peut bénéficier d'un rabais. Cette mention 
ne vaut rien. En fait oui, elle vaut quelque chose, dans la mesure où elle vous 
dissuade de demander le rabais de 15% normalement attribué à l'agence, si vous ne 
faites pas partie d'une agence reconnue.


Mais ça, les représentants publicitaires dans les différents médias ne vous le disent 
pas. Pourquoi? Parce qu'ils sont rémunérés à la commission et qu'il ont tout avantage 
à ne pas vous le dire. De plus, si vous faites vraiment partie d'une agence, vous 
utilisez nécessairement le CARD et le SRDS et vous savez qu'il y a de tels rabais.


Voici le premier secret: il n'existe rien de tel qu'une agence reconnue. N'importe 
quel zouave de Saint-Clin-clin peut-être une agence reconnue. Mon petit frère de neuf 
ans pourrait, demain matin, devenir une agence reconnue s'il disait ces neuf petits 
mots: «Je veux le rabais que vous attribuez aux agences.»


Certains médias sont plus désagréables que d'autres et ne vous accorderont pas de 
rabais pour l'agence si votre compagnie ne porte pas un nom qui ressemble vaguement à 
celui d'une agence de publicité. Mais, si vous êtes intelligent, ce que je crois 
puisque vous me lisez, vous allez courir au palais de justice et vous enregistrer un 
nom d'entreprise du genre «Bingo Marketing» pour 45$ et rappeler ce représentant et 
lui dire que vous appellez maintenant d'une agence reconnue.


Et vous voilà maintenant agence reconnue. Vous avez droit à un rabais de 15%.


De plus, vous avez aussi droit au rabais pour paiement rapide de 2% si vos encaisses 
vous le permettent. C'est, en tout, 17% de rabais sur tous vos achats publicitaires 
que je viens de vous faire épargner.


Ceci est valable pour les journaux, les magazines, la radio, la télévision, les sites 
internet, les agents de listes, les posters, les publi-sacs, etc.


Maintenant, pour le rabais de type volume, je ne vous conseille en aucun cas de 
l'utiliser et surtout si une agence vous le propose.


D'ailleurs, je défie n'importe qu'elle agence sur ce sujet. Prenez votre bottin et 
demandez-leur comment épargner de l'argent sur vos achats publicitaires. Écoutez 
attentivement la merde qu'ils vous servent et comparez l'information que je vous donne 
ici. Il n'y a aucune commune mesure.


Revenons au rabais de type volume. En gros, c'est une proposition qui ne peut que 
défavoriser l'annonceur. D'abord, les rabais sont ridiculement bas, généralement 
quelques dollars sur des milliers, ensuite, d'un point de vue strictment marketing 
géométrique, c'est le meilleur moyen de vous faire avoir.


Voici pourquoi: Il s'agit de contrats fondés sur l'utilisation du média sur une 
période d'un an. Par exemple vous recevez un rabais de X% si vous placez 4

Patches are nothing more than the output of diff(1).  What uses they
are put in and how that is done is a totally different matter, which
is more of a policy thing than anything related to diff(1) itself.

What patches are you referring to?  Perhaps then it will be easier to
answer in more detail.

Re: patches

[Kenneth Culver]

You don't really write patches... you write code in the current code
that's already there, and then you use diff to generate patches...

this is very easy if you are using cvs to keep track of your code...

cvs diff file.c (I like to use cvs diff -u but that's personal
preferance).

if you aren't using cvs then you have to keep a copy of the original
source and do this

diff -u file.c.orig file.c.modified
