I don't use ~/.Xclients but this happens on my machine, when
the file xinitrc cannot be found or isn't configured correctly.

You could test your xinitrc by placing it in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/
(this is the default for FreeBSD 4.7)
and
startx

Hope this helps.

For these cases of emergency a text browser is very helpful.
Try /usr/ports/www/links
It display www.freebsd.org pretty well.

Help! my wm just went awol from X!

2003-01-09 Thread Louis LeBlanc

Ok, this one is pretty frustrating.  We had a power cut tonight, and
my machine rebooted.  It came up quite nicely, better than I expected,
considering I had recently updated some of the startup packages, and
hadn't yet had a chance to power cycle it myslef.

One problem.  Now, when I log into X, my window manager won't come up.
I get the dull grey grid with an 'X' mouse pointer, and the console,
but no menu, terminal, nothing.  My ~/.Xclients hasn't changed, and
that's where I've always started fvwm2 from  I even had it redirect
error output to a file so I could see what was the problem when
something didn't work.  Now, I see nothing.  The ~/.FVWM-errors file
never gets created, so it looks like .Xclients never gets executed.

Did the XFree86 desktop init file change?  I can't find any docs on
it.  Manpages aren't much help either.   And since I can't get
anythign running in X, I can't get a browser up to go to xfree86.org
and see.  Hell, I like the TTY terminals for some things, but even
Mutt is kindof a pain there.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

notebook Acer TravelMate 422XV & instaling FreeBSD..

2003-01-09 Thread Jiri Pridal

Greetings,

I have problem with instalation FreeBSD (I've tried 4.6.2 & 4.7
RELEASES) to notebook: Acer TravelMate 422XV, technical specifications
are available here:
http://www.acer.co.uk/vi/page0.jsp-page78,,1,17,,,95,,,1818,95,17,,17,17171717,,,17,,,0,0,17,,933570316.htm

System freezes (and nothing do) when booting. Last few lines I see looks
following:

ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata0: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
pci0:  (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2483) at 31.3 irg 9
pci0:  (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2485) at 31.5 irg 9
pci0:  (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2486) at 31.6 irg 9

Can I skip booting process by hitting some hot key or skip some device
in kernel configuration?


	thanks for help...

Oh ... I forgot:
I am afraid UNIX is just a registered Trademark of the OpenGroup.
If you have enough money to pay them, you may call your coffee
machine a UNIX-system.
Open software projects like FreeBSD of course don't pay.

Re: freebsd curiosity

There have been many long discussions about all your questions.

A good starting point to get all the answers you need is the
FreeBSD homepage www.freebsd.org .
And ... if you know Linux you can easily install and setup
FreeBSD on your machine and find out everything yourself.

Have fun!

RE: Drive Image / Cloning

2003-01-09 Thread Mike

This will copy all files and make it bootable? Sorry but the search on
dd have no shown what I need. I need to copy my good drive with
everything to a new drive so I can put it in a new box and boot. 
Any other pages on dd? Google brought back a few that I am digging
through now.

What about this. Another nice BSD'er sent it to me.

1.Create slice on second's disks

2. Create partition and run newfs, when /dev/da0 - original disk and
/dev/da1 - other disk (for backup)

3. Mount set echo on

/sbin/mount /dev/da1s1a /mnt/root
/sbin/mount /dev/da1s1e /mnt/var
/sbin/mount /dev/da1s1f /mnt/usr

4. Copy

freebsd curiosity

2003-01-09 Thread James Hicks

To whom it may concern,
My name is James. I'm a junior college graduate with an A.S. degree in 
Computer Applications. I took a class in UNIX about a year ago. The os we 
used was Mandrake Linux. I've learned to like Red Hat and have version 8.0 
on my home machine. I have been doing a lot of reading in magazines like 
pcmagazine and sought info online using sources like the freebsd homepage, 
zdnet, cnet, etc. I'm hearing alot of your UNIX os. I have a few questions 
about the system. First of all,  is freebsd a real UNIX? By that I'm asking 
whether or not there is real UNIX code in it or is it a clone just like 
linux is? Second, what type of file system does it use? Does it have a 
journaling one like ext3? Do UNIX systems require any kind of defrag? I was 
told by my UNIX instructor that freebsd had hardware recognition trouble. Is 
this true and if so has it been fixed? I have also read that a lot of 
sysadmins are nervous of putting mission critical apps on a enterprise linux 
system and prefer to use freebsd. What is the problem that I'm hearing that 
linux has? Do you believe the berkeley system to have code that has better 
stability than the GNU systems? I look forward to your reply. Thanks

More accurately, you only use the "config ... make depend" method when
the running system and kernel match the sources you are trying to
build. After changing the config file, for instance. If you only
build the kernel when you're updating the system, you should never use
the "config ... make depend" method.

natd ip redirect confuses Java server behind the firewall.

2003-01-09 Thread jdroflet

A bit long...
FreeBSD 4.3 running with IPFW and NATD 
One of the IP addresses is redirected to the apache/tomcat/java server. 
"redirect_address 10.150.0.24 a.b.c.d" 
No other fancy proxy stuff or fw rules. 

Clients on the internal network have no problems with the internal server. 
Access to the internal server from the Internet works fine except for some java
calls. 

Java server is: 
HP-UX 11 
Apache 1.3 
Tomcat 
Java 

The Java support person sent this reply to our query: 
> You'll probably want to get together with your network 
> architect (me)and have 
> him sniff the packets you are sending/receiving to see the 
> origination and 
> destination addresses.  Either the firewall is restricting 
> the IP address, 
> or the address is being translated incorrectly. 
He went on to describe how another client had a simalar problem with a
load/balancer and that when they turned off Nat it worked fine - not an option
in this situation.

I tcpdumped  the inside card of the firewall and can see the point where the
java server attempts to send a request for information from it's own re-directed
public IP. It goes like this.

Internet client: w.x.y.z 
Firewall public IP: a.b.c.d redirected to the inside java box. 
inside Java IP: 10.150.0.24 

Keep in mind I'm sniffing the inside card of the firewall so 'in what little is
left of my mind' everything is translated already. 
Client initiates: 
TO: 10.150.0.24 
from: w.x.y.z 
Client gets onto the web pages fine then attempts to run one of the java
reports. 
TO: 10.150.0.24 
from: w.x.y.z 

The server was then doing it's reflux thing which tried to get further 
java/url stuff from whatever server the client initiated 
To: a.b.c.d 
from: 10.150.0.24 <= Java box attempts to 'reach' it's public IP. 

At this point the client gets an error 'Form not found' 

So, is this really a NATD problem or could it actually be a problem in one of
the Java server configs ? And if so where do I look, I'm neither an Apache
tomcat or java expert.

I tried aliasing the public IP on the Java box but that didn't help. 

Thanks in advance, J

I had the same trouble with a maxtor driver b4, couldn't figure it out.
 

sometimes they come with a jumper enabled so you only see like 2 gig of
a 20 gig drive, _even_ if you tell freebsd the whole geometry.
i removed the jumper, and all was well

Sendmail Configuration...

2003-01-09 Thread Christopher J Phillips

Hi,

I have some FreeBSD boxes that I'd like to configure sendmail on.

I have no experience I'm afraid.

I have a mail server that is all set up as I'd like it, see www.inty.net

I would like the FreeBSD boxes to send/forward mail out to that host via
SMTP, I am proficient at configuring that (intY) box to allow such
connections.

For instance, stuff for root & sometimes I like to pipe a commands
output through mail to an address, so I can look at the results remotely
or send info to friends etc...

Currently, the FreeBSD boxes are unfettered & sendmail just dumps mail
to root as undeliverable.  I have (I think), pointed all root mail @ my
personal email address but as sendmail knows of no SMTP forwarder & my
email domain does not correspond to that of the other boxes (which
appear as sub-domains of my primary domain), ALL but root mail is
undeliverable :-(

Please could you give me an idea of what I should be configuring &
possibly recommending a URL that would let me learn how to do this?

Many thanks everyone!

Sorry, I missed the bit about it not being accessbile by 
sysadmins. Though I have to wonder what you can keep a determined 
sysadmin out of, if they really want to mess with something.

Sounds more like something you could achieve with permissions 
and/or something that checksums what's in MOTD versus what should be.

> Is there any chance?  I only need a couple of files recovered.

Saving copies of the boot records and disklabels ain't a bad idea and
not hard to do.  Just something more to do...

Anyway.  Sounds like your MBR's partition table got messed up.  If
you were supposed to only have one slice, you might have some luck
just trying to redo it from memory or what's most likely.

Also sounds like your disklabel is bad, but maybe it's confused by the
partition table mess.  I'M NOT SURE, but you can probably try replacing
that too, if you think you can guess the partitioning.  I doubt if it
messes with anything but the disklabel (and maybe boot code -- see
disklabel manpage); just don't run "newfs", of course.  FIrst try
saving the disklabel (ASCII form) with "disklabel" command and maybe
a binary copy. (? 'dd if=/dev/hd0s1 of=/somefile count=1 skip=1' ?)
You probably can't do anything with the binary one except copy it
back.

If your data is really precious, you might want to save it on another
disk, getting it off the bad disk with "dd".  You don't have to copy
the whole disk if you can guess where the slice with your data was
located. (Eg, "dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/somedir/bigfile skip=_somenum_ \
count=_someothernum_")  Again, it's not much good for anything but
copying back and trying again, but you might be able to find some
ASCII text of importance, if you're really desparate.

I don't believe this is possible. AFAIK, there is no particular code
involved. The updating of /etc/motd appears to be done from /etc/rc
(which is a shell script).

I suppose, as an alternative which may achieve what you want,  you could
compile your company support data into an executable which you call from
rc.

Not much help here, but I just installed a second disk, put 4 primary

(But grub was dated 25'aug'02.)  It boots 5.0 OK (and it also did so
from a floppy).  But when I installed 5.0, I had it leave the first disk
alone.

I just installed grub-0.92 on 5.0-C and it wouldn't recognize any disk,
let alone partitions.  Even tried "device (hd1) /dev/ad2" because
"info" says it sometimes gets confused about device mapping.

Starting with FreeBSD 4.6 (I think) Sendmail must be running to accept
mail from the localhost. That is likely what your first sendmail process
is doing there. It may not be listening on the external interface.

You can check this by telnetting to port 25 and see if you can connect.

Edit your /etc/rc.conf file and make sure you have

sendmail_enable="YES"

in it somewhere.

Then:

# sh /etc/rc.sendmail stop && sh /etc/rc.sendmail start

to make sure it's going properly. Doublecheck by telnetting again.

Re: installing FreeBSD-4.7 onto bootable HPT372 RAID

2003-01-09 Thread Tom Snell

IIRC, the HPT372 is listed in supported hardware, but as an ATA controller only, not as a RAID controlleri.e., the kernel does not support the RAID capabilities of the chipset.Someone correct me if I'm wrong here (and in this case, I hope I'm wrong)

Jeff Leary wrote:

I currently have two drives doing RAID-0 on a HPT372 controller; these
are the only two hard drives in my machine.

I am booting Win2k and Linux (gentoo-1.2) directly off the RAID.

The partition table looks like

part1: ext3 (a primary partition), Linux boot partition
part2: ntfs (a primary partition), Win2k boot partition
part3: (extended partition)
part5: ntfs, Win2k data -+
part6: ext3, Linux data|-- part5,part6,part7 inside part3
part7: Linux swap -+

Using the existing setup, how can I install FreeBSD where Linux now
lives?

The Win2k install can't be touched and I refuse to install another
hard drive just for booting.

I have tried the 4.7 install CD without success.

sysinstall begins by automatically trying to load aac.ko which gives
an error. This is the wrong module, identified as the Adaptec FSA
RAID, Dell PERC2/PERC3 module.

But sysinstall does recognize ar0 with the correct number of
cylinders. However no slices show up in the "FreeBSD Disklabel
Editor" part of sysinstall no matter what I try.

The HPT372 is listed in supported hardware. Is it part of FreeBSD or
is HPT support only through a proprietary module? If the latter then
I'm going to have to somehow create a floppy or CD image with that
module on it and then load the module at the bootloader. Yikes.

2003-01-09 Thread Steve Warwick

Hi All, 

After moving a site to a new server I am having an email/DNS problem.
Hopefully some kind soul can help as I cannot seem to fix this.

---

I am using PHP to send email to the website users at they request (reminders
etc). Apache runs as user nobody. Server is la.mylocalnet.com on
12.158.234.68 - DNS is on this server.

I am getting bounces from bunch of ISPs with an error header like this


- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(reason: 550 rejected: cannot route to sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)


I am assuming that the bounce is happening due to an incorrect reverse DNS -
Am I correct?

This is what I get if I do an nslookup for reverse on my server:

la# nslookup
Default Server:  localhost.mylocalnet.com
Address:  127.0.0.1

> set type=PTR
> 12.158.234.68
Server:  localhost.mylocalnet.com
Address:  127.0.0.1

68.234.158.12.in-addr.arpa  name = mylocalnet.com
234.158.12.in-addr.arpa nameserver = la.mylocalnet.com
>


And if I do alookup from another server on another network:

oak:~$ nslookup
Default Server:  monitor.he.net
Address:  216.218.130.50

> set type=PTR
> 12.158.234.68
Server:  monitor.he.net
Address:  216.218.130.50

Non-authoritative answer:
68.234.158.12.in-addr.arpa  name = dewnay.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
234.158.12.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ctmsq2ns2.cotennet.com
234.158.12.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ctmsq1ns1.cotennet.com
ctmsq1ns1.cotennet.com  internet address = 206.169.62.212
>


It appears my bandwidth provider is causing the problem with an incorrect
reverse entry to "dewnay.com". Again, am I correct? If so, should I just get
them to delete the entry and let my DNS do its thing?

Any help, ideas or suggestions gratefully received. I have a lot of mail
stacking up!

I think it may be this.  device umass (usb mass storage device), which is enabled, 
requires scbus (scsi bus) and da (direct access) which are disabled.  Either enable 
scsi and da, or disable the umass device, and recompile.  That should do the trick! (I 
had this problem a few months back...)

Recovering data from a faulty drive

2003-01-09 Thread Hari Bhaskaran

Hi,

I seem to have lost the partition info of one of the harddisks.
Is there a backup copy of partition information stored
elsewhere in the disk?

The long story: -
Due to some hardware problem, one of the HDs stopped working.
(doesn't spin at all) After trying it on couple of machines,
I did manage to get it boot on one of the machine (may be the
way I kept the harddisk or whatever). However, when I tried
to ifconfig an interface (to move the data out), it decided
to bail out again and it didn't survive the second reboot.

Finally I ended up with a HDD where the disklabel shows
only one partition - 'c'. A boot with fixit disk shows
ad0s1 thru 4 (but it is supposed to have only one slice
and then couple of BSD partitions inside.

fsck on /dev/ad1s1 went OK, But that's only the root 
partition (I don't really care about that one). If possible,
fsck on /dev/ad1s2 thru 4 bailed out with problems reading
BLKS 16 thru 20. I would like to recover /usr/home.
Is there any chance?  I only need a couple of files recovered.

Any help is appreciated.

Using GRUB with 2 kernels

2003-01-09 Thread Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim

Hello all,

How do I put in the GRUB's menu.lst, 2 different kernels, say /kernel and 
/kernel.old? I can't seem to boot /kernel.old using loader. How can I allow 
configure loader to boot the kernel not specified in loader.conf? It helps if 
I can have loader do the job for me automatically if I ever want to use the 
old kernel. 

As of now, I've to sto the countdown and proceed to do, 
unload -> set kernel="kernel.old" -> boot-conf -> load -t userconfig_script 
/boot/kernel.conf

Thanks in advance.

I print to 1200's 4si's 5si's from bsd.  The 4si's and 5si's are probably THE 
most durable printer that I have ever seen.  They are rather big and heavy 
but they can push alot of paper.   

Make sure to inquire about the last time the fuser had been replaced before 
you purchase one.  You can purchase maint. kits for around 150 bux.  That 
cheap printer might end up costing you another 150 bux if you aren't careful. 
Fusers get scratched or go bad but it's nice to at least have a general idea 
when the next replacement is due.

Try the ports/sysutils/fvcool port ---

Using it has cut the average CPU temperature on my system from
about 70C to about 50C.

It looked interesting; so I checked it out. Then it turns out this
power-safe mode on your AMD CPU is disabled by default for a good reason: it
makes your system unstable, and/or causes it to hang. Then cool is suddenly
not so cool anymore. :(

You have somewhat misread the docs.
To "prove" this, nobody using fvcool has reported instability on this or 
any other list.  All HAVE reported a drop in CPU temperature of around 
20C.  In my case that means dropping from 55C to 35C.

My bad, forgot to include the quotes. But OTOH, people who put spaces at
the beginning and end of their filenames deserve everything they get

How bout some older ones like the HP5/6 series?

Need cheap cartridges too.

Yes and it works VERY well with FreeBSD.
It handles PostScript files directly.  No GhostScript needed.

I did the same research you're doing (laser printer under $500)
and came to the HP LaserJet 1200 conclusion last month.
(NOTE: the 1200se and the 1200 are the same thing.)

We have one at our office that prints about 1000 pages a day,
and has been doing so for the last year and a half without fail.

It's a workhorse.  Highly recommended.

installing FreeBSD-4.7 onto bootable HPT372 RAID

2003-01-09 Thread Jeff Leary


I currently have two drives doing RAID-0 on a HPT372 controller; these
are the only two hard drives in my machine.

I am booting Win2k and Linux (gentoo-1.2) directly off the RAID.

The partition table looks like

part1: ext3 (a primary partition), Linux boot partition
part2: ntfs (a primary partition), Win2k boot partition
part3: (extended partition)
   part5: ntfs, Win2k data   -+
   part6: ext3, Linux data|-- part5,part6,part7 inside part3
   part7: Linux swap -+

Using the existing setup, how can I install FreeBSD where Linux now
lives?

The Win2k install can't be touched and I refuse to install another
hard drive just for booting.

I have tried the 4.7 install CD without success.

sysinstall begins by automatically trying to load aac.ko which gives
an error.  This is the wrong module, identified as the Adaptec FSA
RAID, Dell PERC2/PERC3 module.

But sysinstall does recognize ar0 with the correct number of
cylinders.  However no slices show up in the "FreeBSD Disklabel
Editor" part of sysinstall no matter what I try.

The HPT372 is listed in supported hardware.  Is it part of FreeBSD or
is HPT support only through a proprietary module?  If the latter then
I'm going to have to somehow create a floppy or CD image with that
module on it and then load the module at the bootloader.  Yikes.

Jeff

If you haven't set up Vinum, it's a bit late now.  You have to write
the config, it doesn't do it automatically.

Yes, you need to run fvcool on reboot.  Slap the attached script into

dd to /dev/ar0s1 fails with fixlabel: invalid magic

2003-01-09 Thread Pietralla, Siegfried P

hi all,

i'm trying to copy a dos partition from one disk to another like so:

dd if=/dev/ad3s1 of=/dev/ar0s1 bs=128k

and it's failing with:

dscheck(#ar/0x20002): fixlabel: invalid magic
fixlabel: invalid magic
dd: /dev/ar0s1: Read-only file system

i'm running freebsd v4.6.2 . i'm booting from ar0s3 - i've never used ar0s1
( it's a new disk ) and i installed straight from the cd onto this disk. i
guess the install procedure may have disklabel'd it since i set the first
three slices to freebsd even though i only created partitions in ar0s3. i've
checked groups.google.com and there are two other reports of the same
problem: one person trying to zero out a slice and one trying to recover a
dos slice. both have no reported solution! also i think someone tried to
newfs_msdos and failed the same way but it's in russian so i can't quite
work it out :)


a work around appears to be using ar0 instead, e.g.:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ar0 count=10 oseek=63

which does succeed in zeroing the first ten blocks of ar0s1.


however when i then try to restore my dos slice i still get:

dd if=/dev/ad3s1 of=/dev/ar0s1
dd: /dev/ar0s1: Read-only file system

so i need to go via ar0 again:

dd if=/dev/ad3s1 of=/dev/ar0 oseek=63

which finally works :)


also, i can dd a freebsd slice without any problems, e.g.

dd if=/dev/ar0s3 of=/dev/ar0s2


my question then is, what's the 'proper' way to retrieve a slice from
freebsd's grasp? ( so that i can then get dd to work as i want it to ).

thanx,
siegfried.

It would seem so. Never before, though, stood I more happily corrected. :)

Does this mean I can use it on my actual server? Call me a wimp, but I am
kinda squirmish when it comes to utilities like this. And if it affects the
performance of a sound-card, would it also adversely affect the throughput
of a network card?

I am eager to use this. Could save me a bundle on my electric bill too, btw.
:) So, does anyone have this running on a server? I would love to hear their
experiences.

Thanks.

You have to create the drive to tell Vinum where it is.

It won't do any harm, but it won't do any good either.  'vinum start'
is what you're looking for.

Take a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html.
It's not perfect.  If you don't understand something, please contact
me before doing anything.

Hey everyone.

I've tried everything i've remembered to put sound

I read the handbook section on sound and followed

Its FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE w/ a kde desktop. Could anyone
point me something to make this work? i really need
sound on that box as i'm using it as a multimedia

z compresses the archive.  No wonder you're not having any success
without z on the extract.

Possibly.  I'm having difficulty getting details here, but if you've
found a workaround, great.  You can use gzip -t to test the integrity
of compressed files.

I am having the A7V333 board myself, so I am fairly excited. :) The
instability warnings came from the author himself, btw.

I took the gamble, with much trepidation (I hate to ruin my filesystem),
and, so far, my system is still running (AMD XP-2000). Temperature dropped
down about 18 degrees C. If this is going to work, for real, then Matthew
deserves a big cheer. :)

One thing is not entirely clear, though; is this something I need to enable
every time I reboot? Or is it tweaked to remain fixed in the BIOS?

Thanks.

YMMV, but I have fvcool running while building world, compiling ports,
etc., and have never had the slightest difficulty.  (However, Matthew's
exactly right about there being little or no cooling effect when CPU
utilization is running 97%.)  The Windows equivalent of fvcool, VCool, is
installed on my W2K partition.  The only problem I've noticed there is
that it screws up the sound from my Creative SB16 PCI sound card, though
not the onboard sound (Asus A7V333 board - I'm not at home and don't

FreeBSD doesn't have or need crypt.h.  You can remove it from the source
file.  This should be something that's checked by configure.

I've never experienced any problems like that.  I suspect it's
probably one of those things that shows up under load.  As my desktop
box spends quite a lot of the time sitting pretty much idle, then
fvcool does it's thing without problems.  If it was a hard working
server then I suspect that a) the sort of problems you mention would
probably show up and b) there wouldn't be that much point running
something like fvcool anyhow, as the CPU would be active much of the
time anyhow.

The camera doesn't seem to be a plain old umass. However, it is supported

gettext, which seems to require something called intl.4 :

Please don't run "installworld" *before* building a new kernel.

Don't use the "config .. make depend" method.

The buildkernel method should work fine, but you need to follow the
instructions of UPDATING very carefully.  For instance, did you
successfully finish running "make buildworld" *before* trying to run
"make buildkernel" ?

This is most likely a result of running with kern.securelevel set too
high.  Try lowering your securelevel before running the installation
of kernel (make installkernel).

state of httpd is lockf...?

2003-01-09 Thread Nigel Soon

Hi all,

For a few days now I have had a few httpd(s) in a lockf state when I look
at top. What does this mean and what should I do with them? I am running
FreeBSD 4.7 with apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27.

Here is what top looks like:

Is that *really* an ISA card? Did you follow this from the Handbook:

For a non-PnP ISA card, add:

device pcm
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15

to your kernel configuration file. The settings shown above are the 
defaults. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match 
your card. See the sbc(4) manual page for more information.

Does the sbc device show up in dmesg? PCI Soundblasters are about $20 
right now ...

Good luck!

vinum: bringing online a replacement disk ...

2003-01-09 Thread Marc G. Fournier


first off, if there is a doc I haven't found on this, please direct me to
it ... google seems to be drawing alot of docs, but none seem appropriate
...

I just had a drive go south ... so we got a replacement drive in, hot
swap'd the old out, new in ... I've been able to disklabel the drive, so
that it matches the config of the rest of the drives in the RAID5 array
... but for the life of me, I can't figur eout how to get vinum to
recognize (and re-init) the new drive ...

a vinum start just tell sme the drive is down ... so I'm guessing i have
to somehow do similar to the original create, to get the appropraite info
onto the drive?

I'm afraid of 'vinum init', but is 'vinum init jaildev.p0.s12' what I'm
looking for here?

thanks ...

This is very interesting.  I remember reading about the Linux client

It looked interesting; so I checked it out. Then it turns out this
power-safe mode on your AMD CPU is disabled by default for a good reason: it
makes your system unstable, and/or causes it to hang. Then cool is suddenly

Cisco Aironet PCI card - Working but Flaky

2003-01-09 Thread Wayne Pascoe

Hi all,

I've tried the Cisco wireless card and it works to a point. I've used
ifconfig to configure the an0 device, and it manages to join the
network. 

However, I'm having problems with the speed.

When I first tried using the if_an.ko module, I got the following in
my messages file:

Jan  9 18:32:11 ford /kernel: an0:  port
0x9400-0x943f,0x9000-0x907f mem 0xde00-0xde7f irq 10 at device
13.0 on pci0
Jan  9 18:32:11 ford /kernel: an0: Ethernet address: 00:40:96:5a:17:97
Jan  9 18:32:11 ford /kernel: sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of
probed irqs 0

The sio1 message happened every time I loaded the module, even though
I don't have a com2 port (disabled in bios).

I then compiled the an driver into the kernel and tried again. The
sio1 message went away, but I was still having horrifically slow ping
times to another machine on the network (anywhere from 400ms to
1000ms). I was also getting frequent an0: device timeout messages and
I would have to reinit the device before it would work again. I
checked IRQ's and it was sharing an IRQ with my USB device.

I then installed my ethernet card back into the system and now the
Aironet gets an IRQ of 12 (shared with sound card). Ping times and
packet loss are now _marginally_ better, but I'm still seeing anywhere
between 32 and 243 ms ping response times
64 bytes from 192.168.10.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=61.749 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=243.926 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=16.505 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.10.1: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=83.430 ms

I've moved these machines quite close together and abaout a room apart
yet it makes no difference.

Any advice on troubleshooting this would be _much_ appreciated.

It's ready to go when 3.1 is released.  The changelog is already on the KDE 
website, so there's little point repeating it here :)

None of the features listed are known to be in a non-working state on FreeBSD.  
This time round, we've done extensive testing on -CURRENT as well as  

Some of the Safari code is already in, more being added almost by the minute.  
Don't expect to see that in 3.1 though, most of it will probably be in KDE 
3.1.1 rather than 3.1  (a month to 6 weeks after a major release, we usually 
make a bugfix only release, this time there will be a few feature 
improvements plugged in, notably these.)  These are changes made in a very 
different environment, rushing them in and not testing wouldn't be a great 
idea, but 

The Kolab server (Exchange Server replacement) is a standalone, not part of 
KDE proper, and is definitely high on the list for getting into ports, it is 
however, still a work in progress, and I personally would prefer to wait 
until it's not quite such a moving target.  It's going to take quite some 
environment to test it, it's pretty hard to know if a groupware server is 
working right without setting up a workgroup and using it, so that takes 
time.  The client side groupware stuff is nearly there, sharing calendars is 
perfect, and I can tell you that the the development versions for 3.2 are 
supporting imap, and disconnected imap, sieve, ldap, and much more.  You can 
read about all that stuff on KDE's own sites but it's really coming along 
amazingly nicely if you're in need of groupware stuff.  

Once KDE 3.1 is out the door, we'll turn the package building cluster back to 
doing CVS builds, and you're welcome to help test them, drop by the IRC 
channel or on the mailing list, or keep an eye on our website (in my sig.)

If I understand this correctly, you want the DNS server
IP address received from your ISP by dhclient to be propagated
to all your machines on your internal network.

man dhclient-script

Whenever dhclient receives new configuration, it will call
exit-hook.  Update your dhcpd.conf at that point and restart
dhcpd.

You do realize you cannot push the new configuration out to
your other machines.  They only receive the new configuration
when they renew their lease.

Hope this helps.

notice that $file is not enclosed in the sub shell (in between

notice that you have enclosed the string to echo in double quotes,
which preserves the spaces.

Hmm, that did it.  I'll keep it; thanks.

Oh, and it's only 5 buttons, on 45, for X in XF86Config.  That might
account for some of the other weirdness I suffered.

Re: replacement for byteorder.h ? (re olvwm(1))

As is so often the case, articulating the problem led to a
resolution; it looks like linking sys/byteorder.h to machine/endian.h
is an effective workaround.

Still working on olvwm, though; it complains, now, about conflicting

Re: kernel won't compile

What did you download with cvsup? The system sources or the ports tree?

If you indeed downloaded the system sources with cvsup, then just 
recompiling the kernel does you no good, since you'll be left with new 
kernel and old userland programs, which won't work together (at least 
not in usable way). You need to rebuild the entire OS, as described in 
the Handbook chapter 21 ("using make world"). Portupgrade has nothing 
to do with it.

This looks like the new kernel was actually compiled but installing it 
failed. If you haven't followed the "make world" procedure then the 
system has actually protected you from shooting yourself in the foot, 
because, as I said, running new kernel with old userland programs is no 
good. You need to build the new userland first

Re: Cisco Aironet PCI card - Supported ?

2003-01-09 Thread Kevin

I use the PCMCIA version of the 350 in my laptop running 4.7-stable
without problems.  I would expect the PCI version to work as well.  You
are correct in that it uses the an driver.

Did you make installworld and buildworld before trying to build a kernel 
agains the new source?

replacement for byteorder.h ? (re olvwm(1))

2003-01-09 Thread richard childers / kg6hac

I'm trying to compile olvwm(1), v4.4, for FreeBSD 4.6 on an i386
box.

It's looking for sys/byteorder.h and not finding it.

My research indicates that linking sys/byteorder.h to
netinet/in.h doesn't work. (It was a workaround suggested on one
of the URLs I read.)

I understand the issues being addressed here - they are
fundamental, big-endian versus little-endian architectures.
However, I do not normally have the time and leisure to explore
such interesting topics (unemployment, properly treated, can be
the equivalent of what, in more scholastic environments, are
referred to as 'going on sabbatical' :-); I am trying to make
effective use of this precious period of free study.

For what it's worth, xview and xview-ports are both installed
without problems; I have olwm(1), I just want olvwm(1), it's my
preferred 'vwm, very useful for keeping work segmented onto
different desktops according to system or window role
(development servers on *this* desktop, production servers on
*that* desktop, network analysis tools on *these* three desktops,
email over here, and HTTP clients on these four desktops at the
bottom, for instance - stretch as needed).

I'm going to use my buddy find(1) to search for files containing
strings referencing 'endian' and ending in '.h' (or '.c', to see
what's being included, if my first efforts fail), and I haven't
given up on figuring this out myself, but thought I'd inquire of
others whom might face these issues on a daily, rather than
decade-periodic, basis, in the hopes that I'd save myself a few
hours (or days), and maybe learn something, too.

Thanks in advance,


-- richard
