Unless of course you consider the following easier:

Click Start
Hover to All Programs
Click Windows Update
Wait for Internet Explorer to load.
Wait for page to load
Click Scan drive for all information pertaining to MS (and non apparently) 
software.
Select the updates requires using multiple clicks.
Click review installs.
Click Install Now.
Wait for download.
Wait for installation and pray.
Click Reboot.

Now things could go 2 ways: OK or re-install from scratch...

Now, FreeBSD:

portupgrade -rRa
Press enter.
Wait until complete (ok, this is totally realistic, but this is our goal that 
we are aiming to achieve, is it not? You may need to resolve some minor

Re: Need help getting FreeBSD to run

2003-03-31 Thread Paharenko Gleb

Try to recompile your kernel with device rdp or rl
look at LINT there is a big section wich describes RealTek
RedHat found it becouse when it boots
it load modules for support hardware
If it does'n work try to port driver from
linux to FreeBSD
it isn't very difficult

 After I got ADSL for my FreeBSD box the startup of KDE takes
 very long time. It stops at Initializing System Services,
 then after a while the splash screen disappears, and after
 some more waiting (about two minutes) the Desktop appears.

Please open another terminal and use tcpdump to sniff your
local interface (lo0).
Do you see packets to port 111 ?

Thank you for your answer!

The modem is external with an Ethernet connection to the computer. I
use DHCP to configure the network as PPPoE didn't seem to work. After
dhclient is started, and the interface has got an IP, one has to surf
to the internal 10.0.0.0-network address to login.

Re: Only one of two builtin USB hubs working with 4.x, both workwith 5.x

 driver handling (I use the 4Front sound drivers), and found that the USB

 Hi all,

ro, I assume

 and away we go...

 dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1 bs=1m

That'll copy the data, but you'll want to prep the disk.  I've seen 
recommendations something along the lines of: read data off the whole new 
disk first  dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/null  then write the data you want on it, 
then read it off to /dev/null again.
Something to the effect of populating the drives on disk bad sector
records.  
There may be more burn in recommended, but I couldn't find anything in the 
archives.

 One last question, the second drive is identical to the first, but should
 it be right out odf the box condition, formatted, fdisk'ed partiitioned or
 does any of that matter since it will be copies bit for bit?

None of that matters for the reason you noted.

 TIA!

You'll just need to FDisk and label the new HD so the system knows its
there. Then, your command for 'dd' is fine, except perhaps the choice of
the bs=1m which can influence the time it takes to do the dd considerably.
In my experimenting (but only with IDE), I found low settings (like
bs=8192) to take 4 times as long as bs=102400. When I exceeded the 102400,
the time increased again. If this is a 1-shot thing, this may not be
important to you, but I believe it has to do with I/O ability  you can
check it first. Here is my I/O test check for an IDE:

Arp cache needs clearing or machine stops responding

2003-03-31 Thread Ray Seals

I have a FreeBSD 5.0 box running IPFW in the OPEN configuration mode. 
Using natd to hide my inside addresses.  The Internet connection will
work fine for about 5 minutes and then stop.  When I mean stop, the
internal interface will allow me to ssh to it but when I try to ping
something on the Internet, no response.  The only way to get it to work
again is to clear the arp cache for the default gateway entry. 
Currently I have a cron job setup to clear it every minute.  

Any ideas on why this would happen?

Re: KDE startup slow

ok...

Do you have an internal network on your machine, or do you just plug your ADSL 
into your network card?

If you just plug straight into your network card, then you can disable dhcp if 
you want, it is not necessary. What you need to do is configure 
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/rc.conf (using /etc/defaults/rc.conf as reference, 
but don't change the defaults file).

you have to add:

ppp_enable = yes
ppp_mode = dial
(and another one about the connection name in you ppp.conf file but I forget.)

Anyway, I don't have my ppp.conf file here, but I can get it for tomorrow...If 
you have done all this, then make sure you have

enable dns

as the last entry in ppp.conf.

Interface collisions

For the first time within the past few days, I've noticed collisions being
reported on the public NIC for one of the servers. I'm not sure if it means
the switch or the NIC is the culprit, so not sure which component may need
to be replaced.

 Do you have an internal network on your machine, or do you just plug

I have no internal 192.168-network...

 If you just plug straight into your network card, then you can
 disable dhcp if you want, it is not necessary. What you need to do
 is configure /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/rc.conf (using
 /etc/defaults/rc.conf as reference, but don't change the defaults
 file).

 you have to add:

 ppp_enable = yes
 ppp_mode = dial
 (and another one about the connection name in you ppp.conf file but
 I forget.)

 Anyway, I don't have my ppp.conf file here, but I can get it for
 tomorrow...If you have done all this, then make sure you have
 enable dns as the last entry in ppp.conf.

I did try ppp.conf at first, as I use it myself at home with an ADSL
provider that uses PPPoE. The provider for this particular ADSL does
not seem to use PPPoE, even though it for MS Windows, in the manual,
mentions PPP.

As I know the IP's of the DNS's, and they're static, I should not have
to have enable dns, or? At least I do not use that at home.

In ppp.conf I did 'set device PPPoE:fxp0'. Maybe I should try to drop
the PPPoE?

Anyway it seems the provider isn't like other providers, as there
exists an application that is called LF Connection Keeper, just to
keep the connection open, and this application is only made for this
ISP provider.

Paul

Lets see, 67e3 packets had to be retried within their first 64 octets
out of 7.5e6 sent. Actually thats pretty darn good. But ideally if you
are connected  to a full duplex switch it should not happen. Ideally.
I have no idea how a switch behaves when its caches are momentarily full
but I would guess forcing a collision might be a politer means with
faster recovery to back off senders than to simply drop the packet.

Then again a RealTek NIC is the scum at the bottom of the NIC bucket.

if you don't want them, do something like this with your fbsd box;

ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.141.90  netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX 
mediaopt full-duplex
and your switch must be set on 100 fdx also.

you are absolutely right. the problem is that 3com and intel cards
are per default configured to auto neg. our server switches are
always set to 100fdx (company policy), and so these cards tend to
configure themself 100hdx. i don't know why these happens, but i
heard rumors that the cisco n-way implementation is not the best.

configuring the card with 100fdx is the solution.

Arp question

2003-03-31 Thread Darryl Hoar

Greetings,
I have /kernel Arplookup failure: 10.1.1.1 is not on the local network.
I have confirmed that this is a test port address on a pieced of
gear at my ISP.  I have firewall rules blocking private IP's in
and out, but ARP aint IP as I've been told.

To try and get this messages to stop (one a minute or so), I have
tried:

# ifconfig ep0 -arp

to try and disable arp on the external interface.  That works for a while,
but after a few minutes the interface hangs.

I can't get the ISP to do anything about it.  How can I get my
FreeBSD 4.7-stable machine to ignore these?  I have verified that the
NIC is not in promiscous mode by

# ifconfig ep0 -promisc

but it makes no difference.

Any ideas ?

thanks,
Darryl

 the $10 realtech card, and if that didn't work then I'd suspect a bad port on 
 the switch.

You would sweat over a number which says less than 1 in 100 packets sent
had to back off and requeue? No matter that other machines with same
hardware/software don't accumulate collisions I don't believe this
connection is broken.

Others have suggested hard setting the data rate and duplex on the NIC.
That is not a bad idea, especially when using less than premium
hardware.

Replacing the cable isn't a bad idea either. Often when a UTP cable is
wired incorrectly by not observing proper pairing of wires (honor the
Twisted Pair part of UTP) it mostly works but crosstalk between wire
pairs is more than it should. Enough to cause errors. I've seen machines
run for months wrongly wired until the position of the sun and moon are
finally unfavorable enough that the system falls off the net.

The sad thing is that 3Com NIC's tend to work thru the bad wire while
everything else I have fails immediately. That's both good and bad.
Would like to turn off the 3Com's added ability for initial installation
then turn it on for production as extra margin for dependability. But
now that I know, I bring my laptop for debugging the connection.

Sure.  Check out SANS.org, salary.com, or anything else that lets you 
compare the annual salary for FreeBSD admins versus M$ admins.  Then add 
the license costs of the M$ products in question, adjust by a fudge 
factor representing the difference in relative productivity, management

 I'm lazy, I would replace the cable first.  If that didn't work I'd
suspect 
 the $10 realtech card, and if that didn't work then I'd suspect a bad
port on 
 the switch.

You would sweat over a number which says less than 1 in 100 packets sent
had to back off and requeue? No matter that other machines with same
hardware/software don't accumulate collisions I don't believe this
connection is broken.

Others have suggested hard setting the data rate and duplex on the NIC.
That is not a bad idea, especially when using less than premium
hardware.

Replacing the cable isn't a bad idea either. Often when a UTP cable is
wired incorrectly by not observing proper pairing of wires (honor the
Twisted Pair part of UTP) it mostly works but crosstalk between wire
pairs is more than it should. Enough to cause errors. I've seen machines
run for months wrongly wired until the position of the sun and moon are
finally unfavorable enough that the system falls off the net.

The sad thing is that 3Com NIC's tend to work thru the bad wire while
everything else I have fails immediately. That's both good and bad.
Would like to turn off the 3Com's added ability for initial installation
then turn it on for production as extra margin for dependability. But
now that I know, I bring my laptop for debugging the connection.

I truly appreciate everyone's suggestions about this and the concensus
appears to be that I will need to change the NIC from autoselect to a
hard setting of full duplex. The card is indeed inexpensive, not premium
and after more than a year of use perhaps has begun to fail.

Also, I agree that the collisions are very small and were cached by the
switch, not lost necessarily. However, the sudden appearance over the past
2-3 days indicates a change that is not for the better and more concerned
about the trend.

Thanks again fellows

That is normal for half duplex.  All it means is that you were using
100Mbit full duplex and now you are using either 100Mbit/half duplex or
10Mbit half duplex.

I did think for a minute that you might have a mismatch between a
hard-set full duplex port on the switch, and the nic not being able to -
possibly for cable quality reasons - and then going into 10Mb/half mode.
But don't think that is the case because you would get a terrible
performance hit (down to 500Mbts-ish IME), and many more collisions than
you have, plus lots of error packets.

So, you are either using an old Cisco Cat 5000, in which case you will
need to relay on black magic and illogical combinations of hard setting
and auto-neg on both the switch and nic end, or you have a kinked cable
causing a reflection back, or some other kind of badness - in which case
the switch and nic should both auto-neg down to 10Mb/half, and you
should be fine until you change the cable.  I've had cables like that
for the last three years without problem.

If your rl nic was bad I'd expect it just to fail, rather than dropping
down to half duplex.

Do a big scp transfer over the cable and try to see what speed you
get.  If you are not too far from 100Mb do you care?

Wow, that was quick,
Well, as a school project, I had to redesign a SME companys

The firm needs support for 10 workstations, ie file sharing, a

The system needs to be flexible for future adoption like

basic ipf question

2003-03-31 Thread Redmond Militante

hi 
i have a basic question regarding ipf/ipnat setup.
at the moment my setup is:  

i have a ipf/ipnat box hooked up to a switch, and one internal client hooked up to the 
switch.  the public ip of the internal client is aliased to the external (xl0) nic of 
the ipf/ipnat box.

this is working ok for me.  i would now like to add a second internal client.  i'd 
like to alias the public ip of the second internal client to the external nic (xl0) of 
the ipf/ipnat box, hook the second internal client to the switch and protect it behind 
the ipf/ipnat box in the same way that i do the first internal client machine.

this isn't working for me.  when i add the second alias to the external nic of the 
ipf/ipnat box, change rc.conf on the second internal client, and hook it up to the 
switch, then reboot both internal clients, they freeze up during reboot.  hitting 
ctrl-c during the reboot process forces them to complete the reboot process, but only 
the first - original - internal client is working correctly.  the second - newer - 
internal client doesn't seem to be receiving connectivity.  am i going about this the 
wrong way?

thanks again

Not cached by the switch else your rl driver would not have known
about it. The rl driver logged the collision because it started
sending a packet and was not able to copy it 100% in real time so it
concluded somebody else was transmitting at the same time.

If the card is configured in full duplex mode it should not be verifying
copy of its own data when sending, by definition. Unless there is some
sort of out-of-band communications between ethernet ports operating via
full duplex.

apache2 is the newest version, but I'm not sure it supports all of the

Install the port. It will build PHP as a shared object that can be loaded

PHY drivers for Proliant ML370

2003-03-31 Thread Patrick O'Reilly

Hi folks!

I have been asked to set up a server for mail and FTP for a customer.
The box they have supplied is a Proliant ML370 with dual CPU, SCSI RAID
et al.

The most recent installation CD I have is 4.6 (I keep my kit up to date
by cvsup).

The 4.6 CD installs OK, but it does not recognise the on-board PHYs

Snooping around on the Board I have found to chips which appear to me to
be for the two PHY interfaces.

1) Broadcom BCM5703CKHB
2) Am79C874VC

In LINT (and GENERIC) I find references to BCM5700 and BCM5701, and also
to Am79C97x - close but no cigar  :(

I tried using a floppy to copy the driver code from my desktop which is
currently at 4.7 patch 7.  It compiled, but the kernel still fails to
recognise these chips.

So - finally - can anyone advise me on next steps?

Yours in eager anticipation   :)

Patrick.

localhost name resolution problem

2003-03-31 Thread W. Sierke

Hi,

In the course of trying to resolve a problem with sendmail (refusing to
deliver even local mail), I saw a note in the sendmail configuration docs
which says host localhost must resolve to 127.0.0.1. However, when I
checked my system I instead found (details obscured):

# host localhost
localhost.my.domain is a nickname for my.domain
my.domain has address 202.x.x.x


Someone suggested I check localhost.:

# host localhost.
Host not found.


I'm not (wasn't) running a nameserver, my host.conf contains the entries
hosts and bind in that order, resolv.conf has a single, automatic (from
PPPoE)
nameserver entry which works, hostname is set to this_machine.my.domain.

hosts contains
::1 localhost.my.domain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.my.domain localhost
192.168.100.1 this_machine.my.domain this_machine
192.168.100.2 another_machine.my.domain another_machine
...


The domain I'm using is one serviced by dyndns.org, and I have a dynamic IP
address. I've now installed bind and have got to the point where localhost
again resolves to 127.0.0.1 (and sendmail appears to be happy again).
Notably in the process of doing this I've changed my domain name from
something.fictitious to my.domain. Now, however, (in part):

# host -v localhost
Trying domain my.domain
rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0
Trying domain domain
rcode = 0 (Success), ancount=1
The following answer is not authoritative:
The following answer is not verified as authentic by the server:
localhost.domain 66929 INA   127.0.0.1

# host -v localhost.
rcode = 3 (Non-existent domain), ancount=0
Host not found.


Even though I've overcome my initial problem, I'm not happy and rather feel
as though I've begun creating a monster (and that's the last thing I wanted
to be doing when moving to FreeBSD). For example, I feel somewhat
uncomfortable that localhost is now resolving from domain instead of
my.domain. I'm also confused about how I should be configuring bind when
dyndns.org handles the dns for my domain (and whether I should really be
running it at all). But I've exhausted my pitiful knowledge and searching
capabilities for the moment. The handbook doesn't appear to be complete
(following its example doesn't appear to help with the localhost resolution
issue) and all of the material I've trawled up from the 'net is either too
hard to follow or too old.


Thanks,

Wayne

Hell of a time

2003-03-31 Thread John McClure

Somebody pleeeaaasse help.

I've been trying to install 5.0-RELEASE on an old Dell
600MHz P3. Sysinstall works fine, no issues there. No
issues at all until I get the final do-or-die
message and then whammo! There's a problem with
/mnt/usr.

Also, the root partition takes a very large amount of
space. I've read the handbook, and also Absolute BSD
and they both indicate that the root partition should
take around 128MB of space. But my install won't take
that at all. I'm choosing to install All, source,
executables, the whole shebang. But still, it doesn't
seem that the 1G of space I'm allocating jives at all
with the stated 128MB requirement? What's up with
that?

Once the install completes -- it makes it past the
/mnt/usr problem, at least initially -- the reboot
indicates that I need to do a manual fsck, which, if I
wasn't comfortable with Unix I'd be extremely offended
by.

So ... Any suggestions? My system is pretty vanilla,
no unusual hardware, just a stock Dell system from
three years ago, although it's got a DVD and CD/RW.
Anyone please help.

Thanks.

while upgrading fontconfig fc-cache tried to run. While 100dpi was
present fc-cache got killed after running a while.
After I hid 100dpi fc-cache completed without problem. But it's just
a strange behavior.

Which .iso did you download, for which version of FreeBSD?  What software did you use 
to burn
the file to CD?  What do you mean by wouldn't install?  What error message do you 
see, if any?
What is the [general] hardware configuration of the machine you're attempting to 
install on?
Have you read:

Try that, and let us know if you still have questions/problems ;)

Yeah, it is.  Can you try removing the 100dpi directory, then uninstall
XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0, then reinstall XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0.  You
shouldn't see this problem anymore.  If you do, please let me know.

I've never needed more than ~100M for / ... and that's
after cvsup created a kernel.old and modules.old.
However ... that's assuming that I put /var, /tmp, and
some other trees on different filesystems.  Depending
on your filesystem layout, you might need considerably
more for / than 128 M.
What filesystems are you configuring when you partition
the disk?  If you're fairly new to FreeBSD, you may
have good luck with the (A)uto option in the partition
program.
Also, the nature of the error seems to indicated that
it's not / that's the problem, but /usr.  How big is the
/usr partition, and how much stuff are you installing?
/usr can be a LOT of space if you want to install a lot.
The /usr on this machine uses 2.3G, and I've even got
/usr/src and /usr/ports NFS mounted from another machine.
So ... Any suggestions? My system is pretty vanilla,
no unusual hardware, just a stock Dell system from
three years ago, although it's got a DVD and CD/RW.
Anyone please help.
Post the details of your partition layout to the list, and
we'll give you some more detail on what we suspect the
problem is.

What are the partition sizes allocated for freebsd?
such as:
ad0s1a root  128
ad0s1b  swap200
ad0s1e var50
(numbers may be different)

It sounds like you are filling up the 1gigabyte. The ports collection is
about 200megs itself (and worth every byte).
Try doing a minimal installation with only src code for the kernel. No ports/
Xwindows/other-src etc and see if that goes ok. You can always add other
things later thru the sysinstall menu. When partitioning (disklabel editor)
choose A autodefaults for all. If that works ok then you'll know it is
the 1 Gig size that is the problem

TouchStream keyboards with FreeBSD?

2003-03-31 Thread Bob Thompson

 sp == Steve Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

sp Does anyone have any experience using the TouchStream keyboards
sp from FingerWorks with FreeBSD?

Heh.  I sent a somewhat-related question to this mailing list a day or
two ago.  (Subject: Possible to use multiple keyboards simultaneously?)

From time to time I've used a FingerWorks Mini with a VAIO laptop
running FreeBSD.  The built-in keyboard has been dying, so I purchased
a Mini as a possible replacement.  To switch between keyboards, I've
used:

# kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0  /dev/console
# kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1  /dev/console

... where /dev/kbd0 is my PS/2 keyboard and /dev/kbd1 is (when plugged
in) the Mini.

For the mouse, I use the moused daemon with the command line
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid, then the
following in XF86Config:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Mouse0
Driver  mouse
Option  Protocol Auto
Option  Device /dev/sysmouse
EndSection

One afternoon, I tried using the Mini as the only keyboard on a
desktop FreeBSD box.  After configuring the BIOS to be able to use a
USB keyboard, it seemed to work well enough ... though I didn't keep
the system in that configuration for very long.

If anyone knows how to use a USB keyboard  a PS/2 keyboard
simultaneously (or two USB keyboards), I'd love to know.  :-)

2003-03-31 Thread John McClure

Firstly, thanks for the help so far.

My disk is an IBM 27G. The Disklabel config looks like
this:

Part Mount  Size Newfs   Part
 -   -   
ad0s1a   /1024MB UFS1Y
ad0s1b   swap 1024MB SWAP
ad0s1d   /var  256MB UFS1+S  Y
ad0s1e   /tmp  256MB UFS1+S  Y
ad0s1f   /usr23545MB UFS1+S  Y

Also, for the f partition I make sure that:
newfs -f 2048 -b 16384

As far as my installation specs go, I choose All to
install everything, including source, which I want,
and I choose the ports collection as well because it
feels me with a sense of divine power, and I also
actually use it.

As you can see, my /usr mount should have plenty o'
space.

When I specify mount points manually I enter / or
/usr, not mnt/usr. However, I've only, on most
tries, been specifying the root partition and swap, so
I can control those sizes, and letting the Auto
config take over after that.

Finally, when I create the initial slice, I allocate
the whole space for freebsd, which I want, and I press
S in order to ensure that it is bootable.

Thanks again. Any advice is hugely appreciated.

You may want to post hardware details as well, because it

might be a problem specific to -CURRENT.
When I specify mount points manually I enter / or

boot problem...

2003-03-31 Thread Bsd Neophyte

hardware on my first FreeBSD server has crashed.  i was planning on
swapping the HD into another machine, booting the generic kernel and then
custom tailoring it to the new machine specs.

however, i'm having a problem.

the new machine is using a promise ultra100 card.  i don't have any issues
with this, because the drive seems to boot off the card fine, however, i
get into a problem with mounting the partitions.

the drive shows up as ad6

i've tried manually booting by entering 'mount ufs:/dev/ad6'

however that's not working.  i figured that i wasn't telling it what slice
to use... so i tried adding s1a, etc after ad6, but still no luck.  i
guess, i don't know the exact bootslice.  'lsdev' doesn't seem to help me
too much either.

is there anyway to salvage this system, or do i need to do a reinstall?

any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks for that, Greg. In fact I had originally attempted an install of
 5.0 and when I sought assistance with that same problem it was suggested
 that I drop back to 4.7. So the problem does still appear to be present.

 Who could I speak to in order to determine whether any assistance can be

 This kind of question has come by before.  IIRC it's a question of
 setting certain timing delays correctly.  See if you can find anything
 in the archives.  Google may also be able to help.

 I cant recall the PR number but this is in the send-pr database...
 Someone created the entry nad I added to it..

 It is to do with the setting of the atkbd flag in the GENERIC kernel
 as supplied.  It has to be set to 0 for the Mitsubishi keyboards to
 have any hope of working ... but in the GENERIC kernel from about
 4.5?? it is set to 1. So on a new install, you will get through the
 bootloader then die.  Not being a kernel driver hacker.. I
 didnt/couldnt get any further.

 The only workarounds for the Mitsubishi keyboards is dont use them. OR
 install an early distro (4.5??), cvsup to -STABLE or wherver, edit the
 GENERIC configuration file and set the offending flag to 0, make world
 and try again. (verrr tedious... and could still bite you)

 We got a batch of these keyboards some time ago at work and had to
 return them all.

Hmm.  As I said earlier, it wasn't that bad for me.  I'd be interested
in seeing whether we can't get them to work.  W. Sierke, how are

  if ulpt0 is showing up in dmesg, then you have the printer

What did you try sending to /dev/ulpt0 that caused things to lock up?

 I want to be able to print all popular kinds of files. How can I proceed? 

You need to install a printer filter program. The most popular one is
apsfilter, because it handles all the details of the setup. The
downside is that it's a honking big shell script that treats all
printers as if they were winprinters. I prefer magicfilter, which is a
C program that interprets filter files to control things, and will
handle flat ascii or even PCL reasonably. The downside of it is that
you have to set up your printcap and the filter file by hand. I'll be
glad to help you with that if you want to go that way.

Both magicfilter and apsfilter are available as ports.

 And how do I know whether my printer is a winprinter or not?

The standard way is by sending it flat ascii text, and seeing if it
prints that. If it prints the text you sent, it's not a winprinter. If
it does nothing, or prints gibberish, it's probably a winprinter.

I tried to install it on my computer , but always the configuration of XFree86 - X window system failed . I get the message ( . XFree86 configuraion seems to have failed .);and I tried again these days [March 2003] , after about 7 months from first tries after giving-up and using again the ugly Windows 98,ME,2000,XP.
It seems to be working ! but I saw problems or error messages like , your server is misconfigured or fatal server error after I type startx , I think I solve it by using /stand/sysinstall and then 'Do post installation', 'Configure XFree86' and I tried all the three methodes ; the graphical,the half graphical text,and the text mode. I choosed kde or K desktop environment and I tried startx ,it works fine but in 640x480 I think ,so in some windows I cannot see the buttons like Apply OK Cancel on the bottom of the window. I don't know how to setup Internet dial-up with conquror browser but I did wrote proxies for HTTP and FTP ,I read the help for KDE and Conquror but did not find what I want . I tried and tried to change the resolution but never succeded,I tried to use gnome (sawfish) to startx but never worked;I get Fatal server error messages after I Configure XFree86 by /stand/sysinstall as mentioned above; correctly and test XFree86 by typing
XFree86 xf86config XF86Config.new and then get blue and black grid or some times (white or gray) and black grid and both withe X mouse cursor .

So I thought it is better to reinstall,but never succeded in viewing KDE , I only get the picture in the bottom half of my screen and things like cursor , text , writing , windows look very big,so I tried to change the resolution because I think it is the problem but I get the same, I also tried xdm but it is just flashing or go between two modes (the text and trying to view the window of XFree86 : login password ) I hope this is clear.

And now I am stuck with windows{98SE,ME,2000,XP} so will you help me get rid of windows and have FreeBSD running on my mashine ?? I wish you will .

My computer is
pentium 166 MHz with MMX and 128 MB of RAM, 20 GB hard disc, 40x TEAC CD-ROM ,and 48X-12X-40X TEAC CD-RW that is (48x read, 12x rewrite, 40x write),
floppy drive, s3 I think VGA card [s3 trio32/64 and 2 MB memory written in windows OSs] , sound card I think it is 'crystal' but not sure , Motorola SM 56 modem , 15 CTX color monitor (I view 800x600 32bit color, 1024x768 16bit color)on windows .

I hope this is enough info. about my mashine.
I also tried to run FreeBSD 4.6 on my sister's mashine which is newer than mine but
never never succeded in configuring XFree86 after testing it right ; I always get the
message ( seems to have failed ...) as I mentioned before with my mashine. And
also whenever type startx I got fatal server error (the EE is no driver or no monitor
or screen ).
Her computer is pentium3 866MHz , 128 MB RAM , VGA or SVGA card is some model of 's3' with
8 MB memory and 15 SAMSUNG SyncMaster 550s monitor.
I know my message is long , but I don't know what to do .

Thanks .

I have been running KDE 3.0 on a Pentium 120, with only 48 MB of memory,
for some time, and it works well, with adequate performance. This is
with an older version of FreeBSD (4.1), but that shouldn't make much
difference. Memory is important, but your 128 MB sounds as if it would
be plenty. Both your machine and your sister's ought to run FreeBSD well.

Getting the screen resolution right is important; 800*600 should be
fine, and 1024*768 is even better if your monitor can manage it. I
would not bother with xdm until you can get it to work with startx,
especially for a single-user personal machine. Your video card should be
fine.

WINE on 5.0-CURRENT?

2003-03-31 Thread Scott R.

[please cc me on any replies as I am not currently subbed to this list. 
 Thank you.]

Hello all,

I've been struggling unsuccessfully to get WINE running properly on my 
-current system.  The first oddity I noticed was that there is no 
USER_LDT option to compile into a -current kernel (as per the setup 
instructions), so I figured that it was not necessary for -current 
systems.  Is this correct or is there an equivalent option I have 
overlooked?

Next, I seem to be able to get it configured properly (AFAIK), but I 
can't get anything to run with it.  I started with a couple of free 
solitaire games (SolSuite and 123 Free Solitaire) but have had no luck. 
 The install screen comes up fine and I put in the requested info and 
hit next to install the app but the app doesn't install.  It just 
hangs.  On the console window, the only error message I'm seeing is:

err:ddeml:DdeConnect Done with INITIATE, but no Server window available

Does anyone know why this might be or how I can fix it?  Any tips would 
be greatly appreciated.  Searches on Google have yielded nothing of use 
to me thus far.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

barring a more informed opinion, it seems that there is no support for that

My guess is that the rest of that hardware will run fine with FreeBSD, but 
unless you get the FreeBSD dmesg for us I wouldn't know.  They can get you 
the FreeBSD dmesg if they get the rescue floppy and use that after booting 
from the install disk.  Then they can save the dmesg to floppy or whatever.

beyond that, you'd need to either have them put new network cards in the 
server, or you'd have to port the linux driver, or pay to have it done.

Which Processor and motherboard is better (new to FreeBSD)

2003-03-31 Thread Paredes Sánchez Martín A.


Hi:

I want to build a new PC with FreeBSD, which processor
is best for FreeBSD.

Intel builds processors and motherboards, which gave me
a feel of good performance between this two elements.

Intel has something called Hyper-Threading Technology,
Which turbo charges your PC to respond to today's
multitasking lifestyle.

Can FreeBSD take benefice from this?

AMD only build processor but according to his web site,
it gave better performance.

In the AMD Athlon XP Processor Performance Benchmark
says that th Pentium 4 has better performance with
Hyper-Threading disabled.

php, mod_php unifiable? Pear?

2003-03-31 Thread Joel Rees

First question: Does everyone keep mod_php4 and php4 as separate ports,
even when using both. I'm assuming, since the php.standalone (or
whatever it was) is there and contains it's own php.ini, that is the
case.

Does anyone try to keep them together?

(I can see, since I want postgresql to talk to php for web apps and I
may not want that for the command-line php, that it might be reasonable
to keep them separate. But my first inclination is to keep them together.)

Second question: Does everyone just keep pear where it gets loaded
automatically under /usr/ports/lang/php4/work/php-4.2.3/pear and
/usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/php-4.2.3/pear (or wherever those were)?

I'm asking these questions particularly in light of the go_pear script
preferring to load pear under /usr/local/share/pear, and expecting php
to be in /usr/local/share, as well.

pear.ini necessary?

2003-03-31 Thread Joel Rees

Is pear.ini necessary in the freeBSD environment?

If so, how is it generated? And where does it go? /usr/local/etc?

I was hoping go_pear would build it for me, but it does not seem to have
done so.

Are we perhaps supposed to be using the freeBSD ports system instead of
the go_pear script? If so, how? Trying to make install just gives me a
no target error.

A simple RTFriendlyM to where I'm not looking would also be appreciated,
if there is such.

Sendmail + Cyrus + Procmail(?) + SpamAssassin

2003-03-31 Thread Kirk Strauser

Up until this morning, I had a working setup where Sendmail used Procmail
for local delivery, and the global procmailrc called SpamAssassin (via
spamc) to insert an X-Spam-Status: header into incoming emails.  I used
Procmail rather than a milter because my server is a secondary MX for an
associate's domains, and the poor unenlightened soul doesn't want his email
to be processed.  Since a milter processes all email passing through a
machine, and Procmail only works on mail being delivered locally, it was the
perfect fit.

I installed Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12 from ports today, and was able to make
Sendmail deliver directly to it without too much work.  However, now I
really want to insert Procmail (or at least spamc) somewhere into the
pipeline so that my mail is conveniently marked for disposal again.  I've
found about 100 half-way recipes on Google (web and Usenet); some call
Procmail as the local mailer and ignore Cyrus altogether, and some set
Procmail to by Cyrus' delivery agent.  However, not one single setup that I
tried seemed to work.  No matter what I did, either procmailrc was ignored,
or mail was silently discarded without being delivered.

It's now well past my bed time, my brain is all muzzy, and I'm this close
to giving up on the whole project.  Before I do, I have to ask: has *anyone*
made Sendmail+Cyrus+Procmail+SpamAssassin work?  In order of most
undesirable to least:

1) Sendmail needs to stay.  Switching MTA's isn't something I can do right
   now.

2) I don't want to give up SpamAssassin.  I've been without it for about 12
   hours, and the amount of spam in my previously-pristine inbox is
   sickening.

3) I don't want to give up Procmail, because I don't want to process mail
   that's merely passing through my machine.

4) I don't want to give up Cyrus because I'm trying to get some experience
   with it locally before deploying it on customers' production systems.

Anyone who can help me with the least amount of pain (see the above metric)
will have my eternal gratitude.  Or at least a hearty Thanks! once I've
had a sleep cycle and some caffeine.

Almost, my setup is a bit different, but perhaps I can give you some
ideas. My mailserver goes like this:

postfix - spamassassin - deliver - sieve

Now, how does one accomplish this? postfix pipes mail through a shell
script instead of feeding it directly to Cyrus' deliver. This shell
script pipes mail through spamassassin, and then finally to deliver,
which uses my .sieve to automagically bounce all Spam to trustic's
database and move messages to the appropriate folders. What you could do
is something like have sendmail pipe you email to a shell script that
would pipe it to procmail, and finally to Cyrus' deliver. Note that you
can't have procmail deliver the mail becuase Cyrus uses its own storage
method (a Maildir lookalike combined with some BerkeleyDB stuff)

If you want to have a look at the shell script I'm using, I got it from
here: http://www.tml.hut.fi/~pnr/spam.html

2 remarks: Newer versions of SA don't support the -F0 and -P options,
and , you'll have to modify it, since it was made for postfix, but I
hope it will help as a starter.

Also, if you have time, I'd recommend playing with sieve, it's quite
powerful and yet easy to use tool to do server side mail
filtering/sorting.

Hey,

Well for the worth of it, I use Sendmail, Procmail, SpamAssassin and IMAP-UW

My setup is as follows:

$ tail /usr/local/etc/procmailrc

| /usr/local/bin/spamc
