Re: A quick way of uninstalling a set of applications?
On Thu, Jan 16, 2003 at 11:48:41PM -0800, Dilshod typed: Hello guys, once again. Many thanks to the previous responders to my question 'Customizing the console - Changing the resolution'. Their answers were exactly what I was looking for. I am tempted to ask you, readers of this news-group, a question again, but I promise I'll try not overwhelm you with my questions. I needed to ask you because I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Here is my question: Is there any way to uninstall a set of applications (the application that are interrelated through dependencies)? The reason I need to do that is because I've installed Gnome 1.4 on a clean OS, but soon I realized I wanted Gnome 2. In the process of installing Gnome 1.4 pkg_add has installed many additional software that were needed for Gnome 1.4. If I want to uninstall Gnome 1.4, pkg_delete would leave the rest on my machine which I definitely don't need them, and will have problem I if I were to install Gnome 2.0. In your case, since you say you installed on a clean OS, pkg_delete -a will remove all installed packages. Otherwise, pkg_delete -r may be usefull. See man pkg_delete.

Personally I don't have top running in your situation (BTW, how exactly does it fail for you?). As for ps... I guess things are a bit different between 4.4 and 4.7. The absence of BTX is bad anyway... The process of installing boot tools like BTX is in make world, isn't it? It has been done for you, then. Someone around here (possibly Jason Morgan) has some problems with pstop which he believes not to be update-related. Check his postings. Still - could BTX not be in the 8G area? If it is outside, it would be nontrivial to make it come back... and reinstalling BTX would not help you either. Hacking boot1 source to load the kernel instead of BTX directly and making world could solve the `typing' problem, but not pstop problem. But running without BTX is not good (personally I don't care, though;). Good luck, DoubleF To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Can I use GRE on a gif device?
Hi all. I have successfully configured a tunnel from a BSD box to a Cisco router using the gif device to implement the BSD end of the tunnel. The Cisco Technician doing the far end of the config said that the protocol of choice for the job is GRE (protocol 47 according to /etc/protocols). However, I found that gif is using IPENCAP (protocol 4 according to /etc/protocols). Said technician told me that GRE encrypts the tunneled data, while IPENCAP does not. So I guess there are really 2 questions: 1) Would it be wiser for me to run a tunnel on GRE than on IPENCAP? 2) Is there a way to tell gif to use GRE as the encapsulation protocol? I find no reference to GRE in the gif man page. Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: problem with top?
Not sure how the GIMP port would have caused this... but I've had this same problem when mixing newly built kernels with old binaries. Read the Makefile in /usr/src. Sounds like you need to: # cd /usr/src # make installworld I thought this may be the case. Everything works fine now. The strange thing is, I didn't have any problems before I installed GIMP. Strange. Maybe I did and didn't notice. Thanks, Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
connecting to novell netware 5 server
Hey, (using FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE) 1) Does someone have some links or documentation to share about how to connect from a freebsd client to novell netware 5 servers! how to mount netware shares, administrating netware servers from a freebsd client, tools etc... 2) Do you need ipx on FreeBSD to connect to novell, will it be possible to connect only via tcp/ip in the near future?

OT: mount BSD slice from linux
Tim, Thanks for the help. It worked just as this article said it would. Hi, you also need bsd disklabel support in the kernel. option is CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL here's a decent article on how to do it: http://freeunix.dyndns.org:8088/site/howto/BSDfs.shtml you REALLY don't want to try writing with it. I hosed a test filesystem that way. then you'll want to put something like: /dev/hda3 /freebsd ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd,noauto,users,exec 0 0 /dev/hda8 /freebsd/usr ufs ro,ufstype=44bsd,noauto,users,exec 0 0 in your linux fstab file, with appropriate mountpoints for your system. using fdisk options f,p,m you should be able to see the bsd disklabel pretty well. Though it is trial and error to see which FreeBSD partitions line up to which linux parttion numbers. Hope that helps. Tim by the way could you send this to the list also? for some reason my isp won't deliver mail to the list.

need help in setting up a demilitarized zone
hi all so i have my gateway/ipfw/natd machine working, protecting a test client box. this gateway box is an dell optiplex gx150 pIII 930 mhz with 128 mb of ram, 2 nics - one integrated intel pro 1000, the other a really old 3com 3c905b that i pulled out of an old junker computer that we were going to throw out. i would like this gateway box to protect our webserver, our mysql server, and possibly another webserver. our webserver is a dual xeon dell poweredge 1650 with 2 gig of ram, it gets sometimes more than 10 hits a day, and is hooked up to a t100 line. will my little optiplex gateway box be able to keep up with a webserver that's this busy? i know i at least have to replace the 3com 3c905b card on it, as i'm pretty sure that that type of nic can't even handle a t100 connection. but - is the computer itself fast enough? also - does anyone have any recommendations for a good 4 port hub or switch for this particular purpose? right now i'm using an old netgear en 104tp, which is probably not ideal. thanks again msg15810/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think that some folks just randomly attempt to connect to any FTP server they find in the hopes that there's cool stuff there. The sm-mta Truncaded MIME stuff isn't familiar to me, and it doesn't actually seem related (compare the times). Could be someone with a broken mailer? or some sort of bogus MIME header that facilitates the propagation of some worm? It's probably a cheesy attempt at an attack. But it's not blatent enough to do much more than note it in case something more serious goes wrong.

Re: installing win2k after Freebsd?
There are 3 ways listed in the FAQ for this very problem. In the past, I have recommended a fourth way in a followup of mine in this list. Have you tried one of them. Which one? Man! Where were you two days ago when I needed this info? I partially overwrote my BSD installation because I couldn't figure that out. I knew there was a way to do that. What I needed what the boot0cfg command... Better late than never, I suppose. At least I'll know for next time.

Sound card channels
I have a CMedia CMI8738 sound card that is built onboard. I am trying to get the rear channels to work (the card uses the line-in jack as outputs to the rear speakers, i have a 4.1 speaker set that connects to it). So far I am having no luck. I am able to listen to sound fine, but only through the front two speakers. I am getting these messages in /var/log/messages, but don't know what they mean: /usr/src/sys/vm/uma_core.c:1330: could sleep with pcm0 locked from /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c:163 I also get this when I boot up: 2nd 0xc402d980 pcm0:play:0 (pcm channel) @ /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/channel.c:441 I've tried setting the hw.snd.pcm0.vchans and hw.snd.maxautochans sysctl settings, but they haven't worked, and i feel that's probably not my problem anyway.

Wireless
Hi All, I've having a problem with a FreeBSD wireless link connected to a Lucent AP500. This link has Orinoco radio cards in both sides. The problem is the wi0 interface in the FreeBSD-4.6-STABLE box hangs suddenly for some minutes and starts working. Some days it happens many times during the day. When the link is working fine, the wicontrol output show the relation quality/signal/noise: [ 35 85 50 ], but, when the link is hand, such output is: [ 0 0 50 ]. If I reboot the machine at this moment, the FreeBSD box starts up and everything works fine for sometime (about 1 ou 2 hours) more and it after that... it cames hanging the wi0 interface. Sometimes it stays some days without hang the interface, too. Ok, This is the problem. Talking with my wireless equipament syplier, he told me that the wi interface of FreeBSD systems is too old and works to WaveLAN devices, yet. He told that I should either downgrade the radio card firmware or to change the SO from FreeBSD to Linux with the driver wavelan2cs or orinoco2cs. My question is: Can it be true?

And it has plenty RAM too. i know i at least have to replace the 3com 3c905b card on it, as i'm pretty sure that that type of nic can't even handle a t100 connection. For a DMZ you need 3 NICs.

Re: need help in setting up a demilitarized zone
Redmond Militante wrote: hi all so i have my gateway/ipfw/natd machine working, protecting a test client box. this gateway box is an dell optiplex gx150 pIII 930 mhz with 128 mb of ram, 2 nics - one integrated intel pro 1000, the other a really old 3com 3c905b that i pulled out of an old junker computer that we were going to throw out. i would like this gateway box to protect our webserver, our mysql server, and possibly another webserver. our webserver is a dual xeon dell poweredge 1650 with 2 gig of ram, it gets sometimes more than 10 hits a day, and is hooked up to a t100 line. will my little optiplex gateway box be able to keep up with a webserver that's this busy? i know i at least have to replace the 3com 3c905b card on it, as i'm pretty sure that that type of nic can't even handle a t100 connection. but - is the computer itself fast enough? You don't say what kind of bandwidth the 100,000 hits/day equates to but assuming and average 15k/hit, that equates to about 17k/sec on busy days. If all you're doing on the Optiplex is ipfw filtering and port forwarding, I think it will keep up just fine. If you want it to be a reverse proxy, you may have to beef it up a bit (probably add RAM for the proxy cache) The Handbook has a statement on IPFWs performance at the end of the firewall section: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html (it's all the way at the bottom) and the tests there seem to indicate that a 486/66 could handle the load you describe. There are other factors, though. On your busy days, is the load spread out over all or most of the 24 hour period, or does 90% of it come during a 2 hour spike? If it's spiking pretty hard, your requirements might be well above the 17k/sec I estimated. also - does anyone have any recommendations for a good 4 port hub or switch for this particular purpose? right now i'm using an old netgear en 104tp, which is probably not ideal. Not familiar with the hub you describe, but if you're running 100mb/sec ethernet, you're not even scraping the surface with the bandwidth I estimated. Again, this could change if your busy days are caused by huge spikes over short periods of time that you need to be able to handle. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Directory hashing question
please keep the line length at about 70 characters. 442 is a bit long. # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-16 15:13:26 +: I have a question about best practices for directory hashing. I have about 80,000 zone files which are named after the domain which I generate using a Perl script. I'm looking for the best hashing to reduce the start up time for bind. I've tried different hashings. Using example.foo as an example (:-)), if I take the first and second letters of the domain and hash it like this /var/named/e/x/example.foo I still end up with (in a few cases) more than 3000 zones in one directory.

Help needed configuring racoon
Hi, I think I need a little help configuring a VPN using FreeBSD and racoon. At the moment I have got as far as compiling an IPSec enabled kernel, and running racoon. When I try to ping a machine on the other end of the tunnel, racoon fails to negotiate key exchange. On debug level 1, the message in the log file is: ERROR: pfkey.c:1604:pk_recvacquire(): failed to get sainfo. For any experts out there, I would be happy to send copies of any relevant log files and/or config files. However, given that these are the two firewalls protecting my LANs, I don't want to post configuration info to a public forum.

Lockup on boot
If this list is not appropriate for this question, please direct me to the correct one. I recently purchased 2 SMC2632 wireless PCI adapter cards, and put them in my desktop machine, which is a really old Compaq Prolenia 5500, on which I have FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p1 installed. The problem I have is this: When I boot up, it freezes up after these two lines: pcib7: Host to PCI bridge on motherboard pci7: PCI bus on pcib7 I eventually got the machine to boot by taking out both cards and booting up normally. Then shutting down, putting both cards back in and starting up again, at which time the machine boots without a problem. However, if I need to reboot again, it will freeze after the same 2 lines, and I have to take both cards out, reboot normally etc. This is consistant behavior. It freezes at the same place if I just put 1 of the cards in, though I haven't established any particular pattern with just 1 card, but I assume it's the same as with both cards. I've done some research and I've already tried what is suggested in section 2.1.6 of this page: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html I've also looked for some PnP settings in my BIOS, but the machine was made in the mid-90's, and doesn't have any PnP options that I can find.

Looking for M-Audio Audiophile 2496 driver
Hi, I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard (http://www.m-audio.com/products/m-audio/audiophile.php) and am looking for a matching FreeBSD driver. I'm new to FreeBSD and have recently installed version 4.7 stable. Installation via FTP was a breeze and the only missing piece so far is sound. I know that this soundcard is not explicitely listed in the hardware compatibility list, but I was hoping that maybe someone in the FreeBSD community came up with a driver that's not yet offically listed, or at least that's there's work in progress or some alpha quality experimental driver that I'd be happy to help testing. This is not just one other exotic soundcard, it's an very good one (all reviews are raving about it), with extremely low latency (under 1ms on Mac OS X) and very good DACs. It's a very popular soundcard among musicians for computer based music and I was hoping to be able to use it on FreeBSD. Yes, there is an ALSA driver available on Linux, but I'd rather stick to FreeBSD as I'm convinced of its design superiority and I don't want to deal w/ the whole Linux distribution mess. I guess the only Linux distro that got my attention recently is Gentoo (www.gentoo.org), precisely because it ports based, a la FreeBSD, but it's still in its early stage and needs to mature a bit I think.

Re: ZIP Drive
mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt msdos: /dev/da0: Invalid argument Why does this keep happening?? What am I doing wrong? In the past I found that the zip disks had some odd partitioning. I often found the primary partition to be the 4th partition on the disk (the first three being empty/non-existant/zero-size). The first thing that sticks out to me above though is that you are not attempting to mount a partition, but the raw disk. Try mounting one of: da0s1 da0s2 da0s3 da0s4 -- I think it is probably this one. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
UPS Safety Recall
For those affected, like myself, I thought you might want to know that APC has issued a world-wide recall of the APC 350 and APC 500. These units may overheat and cause fire. Affected units are those with serial numbers: AB0048 through AB0251 BB0104 through BB0251 JB0125 through JB0251 The affected model numbers - or SKU's - include the BK350, BK500 and BK500BLK as well as the BK325I , BK325RS, BK475I , BK475RS, BK350-AZ, BK350-FR, BK350-IT, BK350-UK, BK350EI, BK350JP, BK500-AZ, BK500-BR, BK500-FR, BK500-GR, BK500-UK, BK500-IT, BK500EI, BK500JP, BK500TW, BK350IX218.

annoying fetchmail issue
[please cc: me in replies as I am not currently subscribed to this list. Thank you.] I'm trying to configure fetchmail and procmail to work together and I'm running into a snag. In the man page for fetchmail, it is stated that fetchmail attempts to deliver fetched mail to the local mailhost at port 25 and if there is no listener there, it's supposed to look for procmail. I have procmail installed (sendmail is disabled entirely with sendmail_enable=NONE), but fetchmail doesn't seem to know it's alive. I get the following error in my maillog: fetchmail[54779]: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail[54779]: SMTP transaction error while fetching from xxx.xxx.xxx fetchmail[54779]: Query status=10 (SMTP) I've been poring over the manpages and googling like crazy and I haven't found anything to tell me what I'm doing wrong. This is incredibly frustrating and I would appreciate any enlightenment you have to offer.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 3 September 1999 This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people
The Complete FreeBSD, second edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Last revision: 21 June 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] General changes ___ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this information Location of the sample files On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM).

In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps.

That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

Bad PnPBios problem
Anyone know what this means ? pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum So far, everything worked pretty good for me, so I'm pretty confused as to what's possibly failing.
