FreeBSD and Windows XP
I feel bad about not finding this answer myself as I know how to do it with Win XP. My searching skills seem to be rusty. Question: How do I get my new Win XP box to talk to me FreeBSD Server? When I try to map a drive I get : The account is not authorized to log in from this station. What I think the answer is: I think it's the Plain Text Password issue. I've dealt with it before on Win 98 but can't figure out how to configure Win XP to allow a Plain Text Password. I've been searching for a few hours as I know it must be a common issue and the answer is there somewhere. If you can point me in the right direction it would be a great help. Thanks.

Panics on large writes to NFS mounted FAT filesystems
Hello, A 4.8-R server NFS-exports its fat32 filesystem /E (called this way on both hosts) to a 4.8-R client through a 100Mbps network (FWIW, those are the only hosts on the network). Any large write (such as cat /dev/zero /E/zero) results in 10-30M being written to the server, and then the server page faults. The fat32 filesystem is clean and has 10G empty before the killer write, but afterwards it is (naturally) damaged. It does not seem to be a hardware problem, because just the same transfer made by netcat listening/writing to /E/zero on the server and sending on the client does not cause any problem, and writing to a UFS share on the same server does not, either. The kernel is custom with nfs and fat compiled in (the problem is reproducible under GENERIC kernel, and the results, including the trace, are quite alike). The fault message is as follows: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x1 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc015d36f stack pointer = 0x10:0xccf70d80 frame pointer = 0x10:0xccf70d9c code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 102 (nfsd) interrupt mask = net tty bio cam trap number = 12 panic: page fault syncing disks... panic: lockmgr: non-zero exclusive count Uptime: 3m0s This is the kernel backtrace (AFAICT the relevant part is from #14 down): #0 0xc0161c9a in dumpsys () #1 0xc0161a6b in boot () #2 0xc0161e90 in poweroff_wait () #3 0xc015c3c9 in lockmgr () #4 0xc018c934 in vop_stdlock () #5 0xc0217f65 in ufs_vnoperate () #6 0xc0196a89 in vn_lock () #7 0xc018f85b in vget () #8 0xc021016f in ffs_sync () #9 0xc0191887 in sync () #10 0xc0161806 in boot () #11 0xc0161e90 in poweroff_wait () #12 0xc028500a in trap_fatal () #13 0xc0284cdd in trap_pfault () #14 0xc02848c7 in trap () #15 0xc015d36f in malloc () #16 0xc01dd6aa in nfsrv_dorec () #17 0xc01e1bd0 in nfssvc_nfsd () #18 0xc01e1863 in nfssvc () #19 0xc028522e in syscall2 () #20 0xc0278da5 in Xint0x80_syscall () #21 0x804813e in ??

Hi list, I have a fbsd server as a gateway on my home lan. It's running 4.7-STABLE , specs p200 mmx 80mb ram 2 hdd's .. it works fine , but I do get a regular (sort of) problem. When there's some problem with my ISP and dhclient keeps trying getting an IP, eventually when I get home i'll have lots of message spammed in the console, and ps w ls etc will say too many open files in system. I normally solved this by killing some processes, unplugging and plugging the network cables, and by killing dhclient. When it fired up again it would be working. But today i couldn't even kill because it said it couldn't open some .so (I'm sure they're there) Eventually kill worked, i could top and ps but it got back to the same again. I thought on logging off to free some memory etc. big mistake. I can't even login now! :-( Right after i try to login on the server, i get this: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 I can't SSH to it either, the connection is dropped about 5 seconds after i try. I could ssh about 2 times but it said it couldn't open another .so because too many open files in system and shut the connection down. I lost the keyboard on the server too but reconnecting it enabled it again. Right now i'm just waiting about 3 hours to reboot it, trying to avoid it since it's been up for ages.. But i'd like to know what might be causing this and how to avoid it next time. It _always_ happens when i loose IP for several hours and dhclient can't get another ip.

Re: fdisk/disklabel - Error: unable to write data to disk ad0
On Sat, May 31, 2003 at 07:05:56PM +0200 or thereabouts, Herbert seemed to write: Hei! On Thursday May 29th I installed FreeBSD 5.1 Beta2. The next day I've update to CURRENT from May 30th. I have a 60 GB ATA harddisk and during installation I created only 1 20 GB slice for FreeBSD. Today I wanted to use the other 40 GB of my hard disk and create two more slices each 20 GB. Well, fdisk reports that the disk geometry is wrong and sets it to 7476/255/63, the same disk geometry the BIOS reports. When I try to save the changes in fdisk, I get the following error messages: Error: Unable to write data to disk ad0 Disk partition write returned an error status! It's GEOM preventing you from shooting yourself in the foot. Feature, not bug :-) Hmm, I tried both in multiuser and singleuser mode. Finally I booted with the floppies I had used to setup FreeBSD 5.1B2. Fdisk also reports that the disk geometry is wrong and sets it to 7476/255/63. But creating the slices and saving the changes did work: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) [snip] The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BS [snip] The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) [snip] The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED Now I have booted FreeBSD from hard disk and try to create partitions within the new slices. But again I get: Error: unable to write data to disk ad0 Now I am booting with the install floppies again. I guess this is working fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Nothing - you should boot from install floppy to partition any drive which is even partially being used, even if you don't change the used parts.

Like another poster mentioned, I can't say I've ever had much luck attempting to compile OO from source. After several attempts beginning with OO 1.0, I began downloading the binary package from the OpenOffice FreeBSD Project at http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ . OO is still a little quirky in FBSDI've seen it completely crash XWindows when attempting to open docs in Writer, whether in .doc or its own .swx format, or crash just OO itself. The latest available build, openoffice-1.0.3_2 (built on 4.8-RELEASE with FBSD GCC 3.2.1) is what I feel is the most stable build so farit's behaving a lot better and I work with it regularly. Kudos to the FBSD OpenOffice teamit's a massive project, but needs support for such a key desktop app. BTW, one of the coolest features, available since 1.0.2 I believe, is the setup of the built-in PDF Converter, basically setting up a pipe to ghostscript in the openoffice-spadmin utility.it rocksopened a 41-page MS Word doc in OO, printed to PDF Converter, got a nice .pdf doc in about 2 seconds!

You can do this dynamically at boot time using something like: kern.maxuser=64 in /etc/sysctl.conf, which assigns a suitable number of file descriptors for 64 users - for more info see 'man tuning' - but also increases various other kernel flags as well. Make sure to check your current 'maxusers' sysctl setting - something like: sysctl -a | grep maxusers should work... also look at some of the other sysctl settings whilst you're at it: sysctl -a | grep file maybe? I get this on my system: [19:15:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/munk# sysctl -a | grep file kern.maxfiles: 8168 kern.bootfile: /kernel kern.maxfilesperproc: 7351 kern.openfiles: 751 kern.corefile: %N.core kern.filedelay: 30 p1003_1b.mapped_files: 0 where my maxusers is set dynamically by the kernel (options MAXUSERS 0 in the kernel config file iirc), and at boot is set to 256. Looking at the amount of ram you have though, be careful not to increase the number of file descriptors too much otherwise you'll get a lot of swapping out to disk going on. In general however check your logfiles to see why so many file descriptors are being eaten up. For example I once used cronolog to log httpd transfers and errors for around 300 users, and each cronolog instance required 2 processes/file descriptors, meaning a total of 1200 file descriptors just for logging! The number of file descriptors soon maxed out because the available fds wasn't enough. Also see the manpage for 'fstat', which tells you about what files are currently open on your system.

Re: OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 and FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
I've been able to successfully build (and use) OpenOffice on 4.7-STABLE, 4.8-STABLE, and 5.1 BETA since 1.0.2 --I'm currently using 1.0.3. Before that, I had no success in building 1.0.0 or 1.0.1, (I didn't try building those versions on CURRENT)but I did have immediate success using the Linux version under emulation. I have had trouble (read that no success) getting any version to print using kprint and CUPS (and I've tried the configuration the kde folks suggest), but I can print using good old lpd/lpr, so I'm happy enough with that. Because the time to build is so long, since version 1.0.3, I've been able to pkg_create -b openoffice on my fastest, roomiest machine, and pkg_add openoffice over an NFS mount, to new workstations. I don't know if the hardware manufacturer is significant, but all the machines I've either built it on or pkg_add'd it to are/were Dell Optiplex PIII and P4 workstations and Poweredge PIII servers (both single and dual processors).

Repositioning /var | /tmp to avoid disk full condition
Hello, The 3rd edition of The Complete FreeBSD suggest repositioning the /var directory ( and even /tmp) to prevent filling up that partition. I ignored it and did just that today, filled it up. So I attempted the repositioning with the following recommended command steps and results: cd /var tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) cd / rm -rf /var ln -s /usr/var /var However the 'rm -rf /var' returned rm: /var: Device busy After trying all known tricks to me to remove /var, I concluded that since it was mounted from the /etc/fstab I should dismount it and remove the directory (link point ?) and create a soft link there as recommended. However, on rebooting boot was aborted, was thrown into single users mode. After some findangling eventually got the system back up as before with the /var directory, except that now it contains only the /var/cron and /var/run directories. The original /var contained /var/account: /var/at: /var/backups: /var/crash: /var/cron: /var/db: /var/games: /var/log: /var/lost+found: /var/mail: /var/msgs: /var/preserve: /var/qmail: /var/run: /var/rwho: /var/smtpd: /var/spool: /var/tmp: /var/webmin: /var/yp: How can I restore the full functioning structural integrity as before, of course the contents of the /usr/var directory was wiped out somwhere along the way, sans log, sans mail, sans everything.

im pretty gaim compiles natively. its simply a gtk2 based app. could this be some kind of firewalling issue? perhaps you're blocking packets being sent to the AOL server. just a thought.. also, you could try naim. much simpler, and doesnt hog up nearly as much screen real estate. yussef On Sat, 31 May 2003 15:42:40-0400 Tim Kellers[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How about AIM? /usr/ports/net/aim It requires Linux emulation, but I think gaim does, too.

Re: Doh ! Installed FBSD5.0 and no more dual boot
OK thanks for the offer of assistance. The machine in question has two drives ad0 and ad1. On ad0 there was a native NTFS partition with Win2K installed. On a separate partion I had Redhat. I decided to get rid of the redhat installation and use FreeBSD again. So I installed FreeBSD-5.0Release. It had its way with the MBR and now Win2K cannot boot. I cannot use the recovery option because I cannot for the life of me remember the admin passwd. So I installed GAG. GAG detects all installed OS's but when trying to boot to Win2K it gives the same error ie NTLDR is missing press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot. Grub gave the same errors even though it also detected the installation. I thought to be a bit creative and revert to a RedHat install to recover the MBR but it complains about incorrectly aligned partitions or some such. The disk is not hosed but the MBR is not healthy. The bios is fine I have been changing that to boot from CD/Floppy/HDD when necessary. Any additional light you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Multicast Routing Table Modification
Hi, I am working on a project that required me to modify the routing behaviours at the kernel level. I have been searching information from the Internet and FreeBSD.org. But no luck at all. Basically, I need to do the following: 1. pick up the multicast packets before they are routed in the kernel 2. then redirect all the multicast packets to my kernel module which add extended entry to the routing table. The problem is I am new to kernel programming and FreeBSD. Thus I have a hard time finding the right information sources. Any comment is welcome. Thanks in advance for the help.
