Installing additional ports in a jail!
Hey, (I'm a FreeBSD newbie) How do you install ports software to a jail as it is not recommended to make and make install from the ports collection inside the jail? I know I can use pkg_ commands, but how do I install software from the ports collection, if you do not use the ports collection of the jail itself (I mean /jail1/usr/ports/ for example)? I suppose that you have to make make install from the host itself (/usr/ports) and then install it to the jail (/jail1) but how? Does someone have a link or a some doc to share? Thanks for any kind of help Didier To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You should have a script ~/.xsession which contains a shell script to run the various X programs you require during your login session. That script should not exit until you decide to end your session. Typically that's done by running a session manager or a window manager in the foreground. eg. this is what I use: (details snipped) But you shouldn't *have* to do this. I did a 4.7 install, added XFree86-4 from ports, did the XF86Config, and new users (with empty home directories) get dropped into twm. The ~/.xsession should only be needed if you want something other than this. Yes. Quite so. xdm(8) will cope with a completely missing ~/.xsession by giving you some sort of default session --- if twm(1) does it for you, then all is fine and dandy. What xdm(8) doesn't manage in a very friendly manner is a broken ~/.xsession file. However, if you want to customise your X desktop and you don't have sufficient access or you prefer not to fiddle with the system-wide default session, then you're going to be writing yourself your own ~/.xsession, which can be tricky for the inexperienced. The more heavy weight X environments like KDE or GNOME move most of that configuration step into their own window or session managers, which have a user friendly point'n'drool^Wclick interface. Even so, they will still need something in the ~/.xsession to get themselves going.

IPSec with dynamic IPs?
Hi. I need to set up a VPN between a corporate LAN and roaming users. The firewall is a FreeBSD 4.7 box with ipf/ipnat and will act as a security gateway for the tunnel. On the other side there are several Win2K/XP boxes connected to the Internet via DSL/cable modem/dialup/carrier pigeon/whatever and they have a different IP every time they connect. The problem is: every single doc/tutorial/man page/ I've read says how to set up the SA with static IPs, but now one side is dynamic. So the questions are: 1. Is this posible? 2. If it's posible, can I do it with IKE/ISAKMP? 3. Does anybody have a pointer to a doc which says how to do it? I'll rtfm, just tell me where the fm is :) Thanks Fer To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I think you mean how to determine the dependencies of a port that is not
installed ?
I don't know of a command that will do that but you can look in the
Makefile of the port app you want to install to see what the dependencies
are. For instance, these are the dependencies for Mozilla. From the list
below, its pretty obvious what Mozilla is DIRECTLY dependent on.
BUILD_DEPENDS= zip:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/zip \
freetype-config:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2
LIB_DEPENDS=jpeg.9:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg \

trouble using afbackup
Hi all,
Yesterday i installed afbackup on my freebsd servers. I did a test backup
with it and i worked fine. Now today i wanted to continue testing but i
kept getting this error report in the logfile of the afbackup server
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Command 87 ('W') failed (writing to tape
failed.)

Mon Dec 9 16:44:28 2002, Exiting with bad status 1, current error: No
such file or directory
now with device i assume it means my tape unit (/dev/sa0) so i placed a
new tape in it and used mt -f /dev/sa0 erase to clean it. This went well
but when i restarted the backup afterwards i got the same error.
and i just can't seem to figure out what directory/file it can't find
the client logfiles say

Mon Dec 9 16:44:31 2002, Warning: Minor errors occurred during backup.
See the logfile `/var/log/client.backup.log' for more details.
I installed afbackup from the ports collection, these are the versions
afbackup-client-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
afbackup-server-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
the afbackup server is running FreeBSD 4.5 release-p22
the afbackup client is running FreeBSD 4.7 release-p2
A
does anyone know what is going wrong and how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance,

Re: maxusers and random system freezes
Hi David, Thanks, you're a genuis, didn't you know that? Your patch worked perfectly :) However, it didn't solve the random freezes problem. The server felt relieved a bit, load average value pushed down a little, so when the server is working, this change did him good. Now more about a state when the server sleeps. It behaves as though the load average has suddently fired to some immense value - the system responds to ping, but all other activity has almost halted. It's not like the server went to a swap, because it occurs practically instantly, and this state goes for hours. The system is lacking some resources, or may be a bug somewhere, can you give any hints to it?

With the old kernel these pieces worked without problems. Can it be that somehow the enlarged KVA space messed up with the threads mechanism? I'm not a pthreads expert, but my best guess is that your program tried to create a thread with a stack address that was too high. Remember that with a 2 GB KVA, user processes have only 2 GB to play with instead of 3 GB, so attempting to mmap() a stack above about 2 GB would cause pthread_create() to return EAGAIN. Yes this makes sense, however this call to pthread_create didn't specify any special addresses for the new thread. The pthread_create was called with the NULL attribute which means that the system defaults were being used. Something in the system has gone wrong... I just glanced at the source in -STABLE, and it appears to be a pthreads bug. (Then again, maybe I'm missing something, since nobody seems to have noticed this before.) The default address at which new thread stacks are created is just below the main stack. This address is based on the lexical constant USRSTACK, but it should be initialized in uthread_init() based on the kern.usrstack value returned by sysctl. (The correct value is already used to map the main stack's red zone.) The result is that you need to make world and recompile any apps statically linked against pthreads after building your new kernel in order to get things to work. I don't have time to fiddle with pthreads until after Christmas, but you might see if the following patch (against -STABLE) helps when you reduce the configured KVA size without remaking pthreads.

jailed ftpd behind NAT'ing firewall: ftphosts?
Hi all. I want to set up a jailed FTP server on a box inside a private LAN, accessable to the outside. It all looks straight-forward enough, using a column on DaemonNews (http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200212/ftpjail.html) as a guildline, except that I want to use FreeBSD's ftpd(8). Reading the ftpd(8) man page, it seems I need to employ /etc/ftphosts, but try as I might, I can't find an example of /etc/ftphosts. The private network is 192.168.16.0/24. The public IP to my LAN is, say, 208.42.236.15. Do I need /etc/ftphosts to reflect the public IP, or does jail(8) handle this for me, or what? Even if I don't need /etc/ftphosts, could someone post an example? I find the man page sufficiently vague as to the actual contents, the user field in particular. It seems to me this is something I should just know. Thanks, Dave -- __ __ \__ \D. J.

Jail source patching question
Hey, When you have a security issue or you have to modify the source code of a daemon, you have to patch the source recompile and install the new daemon. How do you do that? Let's take an example: The ssh daemon I have patched the daemon with: cd /usr/src/crypto/openssh diff /pathtopatch/file.diff And now, how can I install the new daemon to the host and the different jails? Would this work (after having applied the patches to the source code of course) for example for sshd? Installing at the host first: 1) make 2) make install I assume that this would work without problems but now up to the jails: The first jail now: (We are still in /usr/src/crypto/openssh) 1) make DESTDIR=/jail/first_jail/ 2) make DESTDIR=/jail/first_jail/ install The second jail: 1) make DESTDIR=/jail/second_jail/ 2) make DESTDIR=/jail/second_jail/ install Would this fail and render my ssh daemon unusable, or would this work and would this work for +/- every daemon?

A weird problem. I use 4.7FBSD and the standard teminal. I open a ssh connection to a linux server, log into my account and run slrn there to read some news.. Very often the screen gets messed up by scrolling down or 'go past the end'. Parts of the old screen information is stuck on screen. I have to close slrn ;-(( Same thing happens in MC (midnight commander). BUT: if I use KDE and Konsole all goes well. I can do exactly the same thing as mentioned above in Konsole and nothing goes wrong. Can anybody tell me what happens in the standard fbsd term (cons25) that messes things up and why it doesn't happen in Konsole? -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

INDEX file layout
Hello All Where is the layout for the /usr/ports/INDEX file documented? Looks like a bunch of '|'-delimited fields and I'd like to know for sure what each field is. Also, I've noticed that some boxes have a /var/db/pkgdb.db file, and some do not - where does this file come from? Is it generated by the portupgrade tools?

DMA check causes fatal trap exception in FreeBSD 4.7 installation
I have a Pentium 533 MHz machine with 2 hard drives (10GB and 2GB). Both drives are manufactured by Fujitsu. The Bios detects that the first drive uses UDMA 4 and the second drive uses UDMA 2. When I run hdparm tests on the drives with DMA turned on, my whole system freezes up but the tests run fine on the second drive. In addition, hdparm -i doesn't list UDMA-4 as one of the DMA modes for the first drive. Now that I have given you the scenario, I would like to ask you how can I disable the DMA check during FreeBSD installation as it seems to be causing a fatal trap exception during the DMA check?

Re: Interest in diskless booting?
Garance A Drosihn [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Besides, if you had a nice book with an accurate and detailed info on how to do build such systems, then you wouldn't have to waste any time searching those web sites... :-) You missed the whole point of my message: The very existance of people's well-meaning presentations of their version of accurate and detailed info on the subject causes people to waste time when the picobsd manpage suits their needs just fine. Those articles and web sites would have served me (and I suppose many others) better by simply saying: RTFM for picobsd. But rather than discouraging documentation, I guess I'll just plead for good document introductions (which cross-reference other documents and manpages, etc) which allow people to avoid reading a lot of stuff they don't need for their particular use. (Most of the stuff I referred to actually used picobsd, but wrapped a mostly-wasteful layer of author-customized use and documentation around it.) I recognize that picobsd doesn't suit everyone's needs, but probably most. IIRC, it allows any number of modifications and additions to the default configuration including installation of large systems on CDs. If Greg is considering the documentation of an entirely non-picobsd diskless scheme, I think his target audience will be much smaller than his original question's responses might imply. And I hope he too will help his readers choose whether they should read about his non-picobsd scheme or the picobsd manpage, so they don't have to learn the hard way.

Re: DMA check causes fatal trap exception in FreeBSD 4.7 installation
In the last episode (Dec 09), [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I have a Pentium 533 MHz machine with 2 hard drives (10GB and 2GB). Both drives are manufactured by Fujitsu.

Now that I have given you the scenario, I would like to ask you how can I disable the DMA check during FreeBSD installation as it seems to be causing a fatal trap exception during the DMA check? Right at the bneginning of the boot process, you'll see a line that says: Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Hit space there, then at the prompt, enter set hw.ata.ata_dma=0, then enter boot to continue the boot process. Once the system is installed, edit (or create) the file /boot/loader.conf and put the line hw.ata.ata_dma=0 in it. That should keep FreeBSD from trying to use DMA mode on the hard drives. You might want to check your cabling setup and BIOS versions, though. A DMA test shouldn't lock up the system. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

another weird xmms problem...
What led me to reinstall Xmms was a weird sound problem. When I slide the sound bar in Xmms the sound cuts out at around 50 percent and then comes fading back at around 60 percent. At first I though it was the sound card but a different sound card does the same thing. My speakers are balanced at 50/50. I am running vchans with xmms on /dev/dsp0.3 but trying /dev/dsp does the same thing. Weird. The new Xmms from the MM directory does the same thing.

Hello, I have a D-Link 670TX PCMCIA nic that is too new for FBSD4.7 so /stand/sysinstall doesn't dectect it. This card uses the ed driver under FBSD5.0. if i know the memory address and the irq can i set it up to work in FBSD4.7? for example: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 if i get this entry correct will it show up under /stand/sysinstall configuration menu? thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Ethernet card problem
OK, he's got a Kingston (generally dc driver) and is trying to do sysinstall and d-load over NIC. IME it doesn't matter what you pick in the configuration section of sysinstall --- whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA NIC drivers. After doing kernel configuration in full-screen visual/CLI/skip then sysinstall does an initial device probe, and when you get to configure interface, it should be there. For the record, device miibus is enabled in -GENERIC kernel. If his NIC is *not* there when it's time to configure and start the d-load, it's a hardware/BIOS issue, or somebody's broke sysinstall(8).or is there another option I'm missing?

Re: Bootable CDs (was Re: Interest in diskless booting?)
One of the students here at RPI worked on a project for the custom cd-rom idea. It's at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/freebsdtogo/ I've spent the weekend experimenting with the various methods of making bootable FreeBSD CDs. LiveCD died with an unlogged error just before it was ready to build an ISO. Hmm... I've used LiveCD to build a CD with Apache/Postgres on it.. I didn't use their scripts, but looked at the steps they were taking... worked fine for me. My mkisofs line looked like this: mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -c boot/boot.catalog -R -J -V LiveCD -o ../LiveCD.iso . Of course, I can't tell you what version of mkisofs I used since I did it awhile ago (3 months) and have since upgraded the system.

HELP: vinum and newfs on 5.0-RC1
Okay, I had a vinum RAID5 set working on 4.7. Since I didn't have any data on it yet and saw today's announcement of 5.0-RC1, I thought I'd give 5.0-RC1 a try on the box in question. Vinum sees the RAID5 set I created just fine, so I decided to use newfs to create a UFS2 filesystem on the volume. Call me an idiot, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this despite searching various FreeBSD mailing lists. It appears 5.0 no longer supports the -v option, so I assume vinum support is now built-in. Here's what I'm trying: # newfs -O 2 -U /dev/vinum/raid5vol newfs: /dev/vinum/raid5vol: 'e' partition is unavailable That's funny. After reading around a bit, I wondered if perhaps some sort of disk label is now required on the vinum volume. However, no matter how I try using disklabel, disklabel complains about my attempts. Here's my vinum setup: drive d0 device /dev/ad0s1f drive d1 device /dev/ad1s1f drive d2 device /dev/ad2s1f drive d3 device /dev/ad3s1f volume raid5vol plex name p5 org raid5 512s vol raid5vol sd name sd0 drive d0 plex p5 len 232798208s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 0s sd name sd1 drive d1 plex p5 len 232798208s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 512s sd name sd2 drive d2 plex p5 len 232798208s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 1024s sd name sd3 drive d3 plex p5 len 232798208s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 1536s DEVFS shows: /dev/vinum: control controld plex: p5 sd: sd0 sd1 sd2 sd3 raid5vol Disklabel /dev/vinum/raid5vol shows me: type: Vinum disk: vinum label: radi flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 698394624 tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 698394624 cylinders: 1 sectors/unit: 689394624 rpm: 14400 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 3 Partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 69839462404.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 0) b: 6983946240 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 0) c: 6983946240unused0 0# (Cyl. 0 - 0) I tried editing it, setting a: to unused, size 0, removing b:, and creating e: just like a: as above.

At least until I double checked the data and a subsequent disklabel call showed that all my changes had been silently discarded and the above showd up anew. The vinum label command also appears useless, happily executing but changing nothing. Now for the questions: How does one create a new filesystem (UFS2 in particular) on a vinum volume in 5.0? Is some sort of label required? Help! Thanks! Aaron out. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If you installed from CD, and therefore have a working system, please post the output of: $dmesg If you're able, pipe it to a .txt file and attach it, otherwise copy/paste to your email program. $dmesg attach.txt That might show us if there is a problem at device probe time. It would be worth your time to look at /etc/rc.conf, because it might be easy to spot if sysinstall actually wrote the file using ed0 instead of dc0. If so, changing it would be a hurdle on our way to fixing the issue. You could also send us output from ifconfig -a, but it sounds as if that's already been decided, and dc0 isn't in there.

Java2D with patch1
Dear all, I just installed the new patch1 for sun jdk1.4 The first thing I did to test it was to run the sample programs that came in the distribution: Java2D, Notepad. I attached a file so that you can see how it looks. The fonts are unrecognizable. Since the patch was reseased less than 20 days ago I dont find info on the specific subject on the mailing lists. I run the same file in linux and windows with no problem, I also run the same program in freebsd with the linux-sun- jdk1.4.1 and there is no problem either. I run it with previous jdk1.3.x patches... no problem either, so I guess its a specific problem of the new patch1 for jdk1.4. Did anyone install the patch and ran a gui java app? Did you have the same problem? If yes how did you fix it? Kind regards, Juan Velasco -- Juan R.

Cisco/Aironet 350 LEAP? Anyone?
I'm having no luck getting my Aironet 350 card to authenticate via LEAP at my worksite. I'm using a Dell Latitude C600 running 4.7-STABLE ( upgraded as recently as Dec 2002 ). The same hardware utilizing Windoze and the Cisco ACU tools works without any trouble, and I can use the Aironet card under FreeBSD for non-LEAP access points just fine. For non-leap sites I usually use something like: ifconfig an0 ssid MYSSID wepmode mixed nwkey 1:(key) or ifconfig an0 ssid tmobile then just run dhclient an0 and I'm off and running. Unfortunately, when I try: ifconfig an0 ssid WORKSSID ancontrol -i an0 MYACCOUNT Passowrd: MYPASS It hangs for a minute or two and finally reports that it can't authenticate. Any hints, folks? I'll try to remember to grab some ancontrol status snapshots next time I'm down there, but in the meantime I'm open to any suggestions.

RE: Athlon motherboard for 5.0?
On Sunday, December 08, 2002 2:01 AM, Cliff L. Biffle wrote I'm running 5.0-DP2 on an Asus motherboard with the Apollo KT133 chipset. The chipset is notoriously buggy, according to the folks on -current, and I've been having trouble with the USB and ATA controllers -- though it's intermittent and hard to reproduce. I've stumbled across a new 1.4Ghz Athlon Thunderbird chip, which doesn't work in my older motherboard. So, I'm in the market for a mobo. It's for a workstation, and integrated graphics and sound are not desired. It'd be nice if it took PC133 SDRAM, since I have 768MB here, but DDR is okay if necessary. But most importantly, everything on the motherboard needs to have good support in 5.0. Support in 4-stable is nice, but hardly a requirement. If this means sticking with an older, more conservative chipset, and sacrificing things like USB 2.0, Firewire, or fast AGP, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm not a gamer or a video producer; my motherboard is used solely to connect my CPU to RAM and cards. :-) Suggestions? Don't know about 5.0. I am currently running 4.7-RELEASE on an ASUS A7V333 with a 850 MHz Athlon TBird. Have had no problems so far with audio/video/LAN... There were some problems with the chipset when I was using 4.5-RELEASE, but i think they were fixed in 4.7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Dump/Restore to disk and tape
Question about use of dump/restore: I do daily dumps of several FreeBSD machines over the network to a large archive disk. This disk has directories for different machines, with several gzip'd dump files for each. I have a tape drive on that machine, and I'd like to copy some of the dump files to tape. I started off using dd to copy the dump file to tape: % dd if=dump.0.2002-10-10.gz of=/dev/sa0 But I don't think that dd handles multiple volumes if the dump file ends up being larger than a single tape. I could split the file first, but I'd rather use a program that can automatically handle splitting a file across several volumes. I tried to use tar or cpio to copy the dump files to tape archives. That way the tape would have a tar archive of dump files. Unfortunately both of those programs seem to choke on files 2GB. I tried using pax. Pax is fine with files 2GB, but there's another problem. To retrieve the contents of a dump file, I have to copy the entire thing to disk first. This is awkward for large dump files because it's slow and I may not have enough space for the entire file. I can't find a way to extract the file to stdout, and pipe it directly to restore. I'm thinking of something like: % pax -r /dev/sa0 dump.0.2002-10-10 | restore -if - Of course this doesn't work because pax just creates the file 'dump.0.2002-10-10'. Is there some way to move a dump file to a set of tapes, without having to do the dump from the original filesystem?

If you mismatch the speeds of your memory and your motherboard, then the board will either try and force the memory to run a the speed it wants, or the motherboard will drop it's bus speed down to match that of the memory. Either way, I don't think that software is able to tell you if a stick of memory should be running at the speed it is, because the software can only read what the motherboard is running at. My suggestion would be to just try the memory. If it doesn't work, you won't break anything. The worst case scenario is that the motherboard detects the wrong size of memory if the speed is mismatched, which should still be usable anyways.

Do I have that right? Thanks again, Thomas Connolly If you're using the GENERIC kernel, miibus should already be enabled. As to rc.conf, see below. If you installed from CD, and therefore have a working system, please post the output of: $dmesg If you're able, pipe it to a .txt file and attach it, otherwise copy/paste to your email program. $dmesg attach.txt That might show us if there is a problem at device probe time. It would be worth your time to look at /etc/rc.conf, because it might be easy to spot if sysinstall actually wrote the file using ed0 instead of dc0. If so, changing it would be a hurdle on our way to fixing the issue. You could also send us output from ifconfig -a, but it sounds as if that's already been decided, and dc0 isn't in there.
