Re: what dose the command chflags used for ?
Dear all, Because we have the command chmod for change the permissions of files so what does the command chflags used for and what suituation I must use it ? chflags is used to set system flags on files you don't want to be modified accidentally - most commonly the 'noschg' flag stops a file from being deleted by a normal user.

With chflags(1) you can make a file impossible to modify, even by the super user, who can ignore the usual file permissions. You can make a file that you can only add contents to -- not delete -- which is perfect for log files which you need to guarrantee haven't been tampered with. You can make a file whose contents can be modified, by the file itself cannot be moved or deleted, even by a user who has write permissions on the containing directory. You can label a file such that the dump(8) program will ignore it. Finally, if you run at a raised kern.securelevel, you can only increase the security protections added to files by chflags(1) -- in order to remove the flags, you need to reboot into single user mode, which requires you to have access to the system console.

In that case, it is started anew. In addition, mozilla doesn't start if its is not already running. Say, i have /both/ mozilla netscape running. If i want to open a new window of the genuine netscape, thru netscape-wrapper, a mozilla window is opened instead of navigator's. Problem is somewhere in netscape shell script as right things happen if i start navigator directly, bypassing the wrapper. ( Recently, i have started using my own wrapper which calls the netscape-wrapper program only if mozilla is not running, otherwise it calls navigator-linux-4.8. ) Could anybody tell how to actually fix netscape-wrapper, or what causes mozilla to respond instead of navigator? - Parv -- A programmer, budding Unix system administrator, and amateur photographer ISO employment... http://www103.pair.com/parv/work/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

vinum? flaky hardware? FreeBSD4.8? ASUS P4SGL-VM?
Over some time I've installed various versions of FreeBSD. In the past installation has always gone smoothly. Now however, I'm trying to setup a new system on a new machine with software RAID 1 (vinum) and have run into difficulties (which I don't think have anything to do with vinum). The new machine is based on a P4SGL-VM mother board with a 1.7G Celeron processor and 256Mb RAM. Two WDC WD1200JB-00DUA3 (120Gb) drives are installed on the primary and secondary IDE master ports with 80 conductor cables. During installation it seemed to be difficult to move sysinstall on from the fdisk and MBR dialogues to the the disklabel dialogue; it seemed to want to always loop back to the beginning of the fdisk dialogue. But after a number of false starts managed to get a developer (without X) system installed on slice ad0s1 of about 6Gb. After some fiddling with with vinum in ad0s2 and ad2s2 I reset vinum (resetconfig) and discarded these slices. On ad2 I created one large slice and labeled it with a view to vinum with ad2s1a having an offset of 281 blocks and the vinum partition an offset of 16 blocks. After creating a filesystem on ad2s1a and mounting on /mnt I attempted to copy the root partition from the axisting system using: # cd /mnt # dump -0 -a -f - / | restore -f - which reported an error something like: expected file 223455: found 223456 which (unfortunately) I didn't record so is only an approximation. # fsck -n /dev/ad0s1a reported an inconsistency but without any real detail. Rerunning # fsck /dev/ad0s1a whether or not in single user mode reported (NO WRITE) and declined to fix the problem. When attempting to write directly to an unmounted slice or partition: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s2 count=50 I get a message to the effect that the filesystem is readonly and a console message: fixlabel: invalid magic and on searching the kernel source I find it in /usr/src/kernel/subr_diskslice.c preceded by the comment /* These errors can't happen so don't bother reporting details. */ The problem has appeared on both drives. However fdisk and disklabel do not seem to have problems writing. History: == I first attempted to set this up on another machine with the same brand of mother board but slightly different -- significant to us it had an onboard network interface. On that board (same drives) I was the installation could not access the hard drives until UDMA was disabled in the BIOS. Nor could the installed system operate with UDMA turned on. Stuck with PIO4 I abandoned that machine. (While I considered that a CD as slave on one of the IDE ports might create UDMA difficulties on one hard drive it does not explain, to me, lack of access to the other hard drive.) The above is of course a very much cut down version of events. The cost of the time spent messing about with these system has been much greater than the cost of the hardware! Do I have faulty hardware? Or is the hardware incompatible with FreeBSD? Is the hardware simply rubbish? Am I being stupid? Does any one have good or bad experience with these mother boards?

PMTUD Black Hole Problem
Hi All, I have the following network in the lap WINXP ---mtu1500---FREEBSD4.4---mtu1280(gif tunnel---FREEBSD4.4---mtu1500---WINXP The BSD computers are setup as gateway routers. As you might see from diagram above, the MTU of the link between the two BSD computers is 1280Bytes because of a tunnel. When I try to transfer a file between the XP endpoints, the PMTUD goes off by sending a 1514B packet to the other end with the Don't fragment bit set. However this packet never generates the ICMP unreachable message back to the XP box during Path MTU discovery. So that's why I have concluded that the BSD router is the black hole. Now I would like to know how to make my BSD router to participate in the MTU discovery. Changing the MTU of the windows computers is not an option for me. Also please note that the BSD computers only have one NIC interface, and the network is logically sperate but physically all connected to a switch, so playing with the MTU of the interface connecting the BSD computers is not an option either. I hope that this is a known problem and easy to fix and thanks for taking the time to respond. ~koroush ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Interesting problem installing 5.1
Hello, I have come across an interesting problem while trying to install 5.1 fresh onto an i386 system using the 5.1 disc images which I ftp'd and burned. sysinstall goes all the way through (while booting from CD-ROM), but after I commit to the installation it comes back and says that it feels that there is an Audio CD in the CD-ROM drive ??. TTY2 has an error about buffer overrun 12/0. Sorry, I should have written it down specifically. Any suggestions that you have would be greatly appreciated. I am very new to FreeBSD but am very willing to detailed debugging to tracking this one down. I purposely didn't want to start with a 4.8 system because this is a fresh system. Many thanks.

SMP: question
Hello, I am trying to configure an dual processor server for the first time. It is a 6 year old HP with PIII Xeon 500's. The question I have is that when I boot into single user mode (as I have had problems in multi-user) it shows only one proc starting up. This: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! Should this show the second one? The problem in multi-user mode is that after boot, 5 minutes later when I am doing anything it reboots after 5 mins. Any ideas? Or where I can visit something online. I haven't been able to find any really reliable SMP docs online. And I could be blind but I can't find anything in the handbook.

boot0 or boot1 broken, how to fix?
Hi I somehow destroyed some of my boot files, as it seems. The bootmanager seems to work: The F1-FN selection appears and works for a different install on the same disk. But if I chose the broken one, all that appears is a / and the machine hangs. I fscked and successfully mounted that partition with help of the fixit floppy. So my questions: 1) what's the problem here and how can I fix it? 2) if it actually would be a broken mbr, how would I fix that? i looked for boot0cfg on the fixit floppy, but as boot0cfg is linked to libc, I guess it didn't fit onto there. is it on the fixit cd rom at least? thanks, t. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The faq. said 100 megabytes would usually be enough for the / partition. I decided to install freebsd with 300M for the / partition just to be on the safe side. The only thing i have added since the original install is the linux compatibility and some linux apps i needed such as netscape, opera etc. Ok, now for some reason my / partition shows to be full and i cant figure it out as like i said only a few apps have been installed. It appears to me that after adding linux compatibility the / partition went to full maybe because of the syslink compat that was placed on my / partition by the freebsd-5.1 linux compatibility port. No, /compat should be pointing off to your /usr partition, so it isn't using any significant space.

As you might see from diagram above, the MTU of the link between the two BSD computers is 1280Bytes because of a tunnel. When I try to transfer a file between the XP endpoints, the PMTUD goes off by sending a 1514B packet to the other end with the Don't fragment bit set. However this packet never generates the ICMP unreachable message back to the XP box during Path MTU discovery. So that's why I have concluded that the BSD router is the black hole. Now I would like to know how to make my BSD router to participate in the MTU discovery. Changing the MTU of the windows computers is not an option for me. Also please note that the BSD computers only have one NIC interface, and the network is logically sperate but physically all connected to a switch, so playing with the MTU of the interface connecting the BSD computers is not an option either. I hope that this is a known problem and easy to fix and thanks for taking the time to respond. ~koroush ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: NFS weirdness...
As a diagnostic step: Boot up the system, and then try to manually mount the filesystem with the command 'mount /usr/src'. If this works ... it pretty much confirms that your /etc/fstab syntax is correct. If it doesn't work, focus on /etc/fstab as the problem. HTH. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com Thanks Bill, but as I said mounting it manually works fine so I doubt it's fstab. manually mounting works mount NFSD:/home2 /home So that also pretty much clears NFSD too /etc/exports works as evidenced in showmounts -e host and that I can manually mount it from HTTPD. I also serve homes via Samba on NFSD, that wouldn't interfere with NFS, would it? Again, since it's buried, here are my exports and fstab. on NFSD: /home2 -maproot=0 -alldirs httpd on HTTPD: NFSD:/home2 /home nfs rw,bg 0 0 Since it mounts manually but not automatically on reboot, I'm still stuck.

Totally newbie - install problems
Hi All! I'm totally new to FreeBSD. I used Linux before but I decided to try FreeBSD. I just downloaded FreeBSD 4.8 from a public ftp site and installed a brand new system with X and full development tools. I have some questions. I read about the differences between Linux and FreeBSD. I like the idea that there is only one official FreeBSD. I'm going to develop cross platform, multi tiered applications using Python and it is nice to have a free and compact system which I can offer to my clients. But I need other packages like wxPython, PyCrypto and others for my work. I know I can download the source code and compile them. I could also find binaries but the dependency tree is endless (and I had version problems too). I read the comparison where someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out there but I don't know where it is. I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in Debian. Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, so an automated installation would be the best (download and install required packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). Can you help me? Sorry for the long e-mail. Thanks in advance.

This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out there but I don't know where it is. You want the ports collection; located by default in /usr/ports. If you didn't install it initially, you can do so with sysinstall. Ports are source code bundles along with FreeBSD tweaks and installation defaults. You want to use cvsup to update the port information database regularly, and it's recommended that you use the portupgrade utility to handle port interdependencies. See the FreeBSD handbook for details on the above. Having done so, my routine for updating all 100+ applications on my machine is reduced to: cvsup-ports ; Make sure my ports database is up-to-date pkgdb -F ; Make sure my installed packages database is consistent portupgrade -ra ; Download, compile, and install all updated applications BTW, both the apps you specified are indeed in the ports collection presently.

Hi, But I need other packages like wxPython, PyCrypto and others for my work. I know I can download the source code and compile them. I could also find binaries but the dependency tree is endless (and I had version problems too). I read the comparison where someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out there but I don't know where it is. This is where the ports collection comes into play: First you can search it for the desired port: % cd /usr/ports % make search name=wxPython Port: py22-wxPython-2.4.0.7 Path: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython % cd x11-toolkits/py-wxPython % make install clean (PyCrypto is also avialable in that collection). For more information regarding the ports collection you should consult the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html and/or ports(7). I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in Debian. Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, so an automated installation would be the best (download and install required packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). You can build your own packages with the ports collection (just use make package instead of make install). But if the machines will have exactly the same disk layout, setting up a master and cloning it with dd(1) might be more efficient.

Hi, I posted similar question some time ago but I guess I misstated the problem. I will be more careful this time. Here is my situation: Node A - LAN1 - Node B - LAN2 - Node C Node A: OS: Win2K IP Address (to LAN1): 129.197.23.232 Node B: OS: FreeBSD 4.6 IP address (to LAN1): 129.197.244.10 IP address (to LAN2): 10.77.1.1 Node C: OS: FreeBSD 4.6 IP address (to LAN2) 10.77.2.1 What I am trying to accomplish is to set up Node A and Node B (and not Node C) to have Node A think that it is directly connected to LAN2 with an IP Address 10.77.1.2 So if Node A needs to send a packet to Node C, some program on Node A will encapsulate the packed and send it to Node B. Some other program on Node B will get the encapsulated packet, recognize that it came from Node A and that it needs to go somewhere else on LAN2, open the capsule and forward the original packet to the appropriate destination. And if Node C needs to send a packet to 10.77.1.2, the router on LAN2 will force it to send the packet to Node B. The Node B should then forward the packet to Node A. I tried to accomplish this in many ways but was not able to get exactly what I was looking for. I would highly appreciate if someone could tell me which program I need to use.

force bsdlabel?
I had this stupid problem, unused partition had offset at 63, mounted as ad1s1 but worked fine; however fsck or vinum changed it to offset 0, and everything blowed up. How do i force bsdlabel to make partition c to offset 63?

I am still learning to read the du command. No - /root is the culprit. Look at all those .something directories inside /root. They are created when you run an application as root and it wants to save data inside the user's home directory. For normal users their home directory is /home/username but for root the home directory is /root. Check if you actually need any of that data thats hanging around in /root. I'd be very surprised if you actually did. Folders like .slypheed and .GNUstep could most likely be removed I suspect.

Re: Totally newbie - install problems
The target is actually depends with the s. But how is that different from 'make install clean'? *shrug* make depend (without the 's') all install clean has always worked for me. I've used that since FreeBSD 2.1 at least. I would think if it was depends that it would say something like: make: don't know how to make depend. Stop So I assume that depend makes dependencies and all makes all options. I've never really cared what the targets do individually but that's what I use to build ports, it always builds the dependencies and I've never had any problems using it. Maybe it's redundant or superfluous but it works for me. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's probably automatic by now, but yeah, you can save yourself a bit of typing by just using # make install clean - it builds all dependencies as well as the main port. Portupgrade by itself won't upgrade all the dependencies. You'll want to use the -R option for that.

Please Answer This For Me
Dear Sir/Madam; I am having trouble installing the FreeBSD software 5.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1. Here are the particulars of what I am using and what I have done. - Downloaded 5.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1 from FreeBSD using FTP Explorer and ensuring that binary is selected. I am using a separate computer to do this. - Burned CD using Roxio Creator Classic version 6.0.1.5. Settings were other (tab), create bootable, no emulation, and use images or image 5.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1. - Partitioned drive with Windows 98 second edition resident on it to create a 'D' drive on a Pentium 200 MHZ machine with a 4X CD Rom. - Changed AMI CMOS setting to load from CD first. The CD appears to be reading the created disk for about 15 seconds but then appears to hang and then the Windows 98 OS loads. What could I possibly be doing wrong? Or what do I need to change to get this install to work? Please Advise! If you require more information I will be more than happy to provide you with it.

If not, it may simply be a bad burn. You can verify this with the checksum if you grabbed that along with the ISO. If the CD appears to be good try launching the install with floppies, the images are on the CD and instructions on copying them to floppy are in INSTALL.TXT/INSTALL/HTM.

Strange formatting error with pkg_info after using portupgrade
Hello, everyone, I have a fairly strange error, that has popped up on both machines where I have used portupgrade (both 4.8-RELEASE boxes). Here is an example output: please:~ pkg_info |head BitTorrent-3.2.1b Peer to Peer file sharing/mirroring.Mesa-3.4.2_2 A graphics library similar to SGI's OpenGL ORBit-0.5.17High-performance CORBA ORB with support for the C language XFree86-4.3.0,1 X11/XFree86 core distribution (complete, using mini/meta-po Note how Mesa's entry begins immediately after the last character of BitTorrent's. The behavior seems to be that if a package has been installed/upgraded with portupgrade, it eliminates the terminal newline from the pkg_info listing. Running pkg_info with a particular package as an argument works fine. pkgdb reports that the database is uncorrupted and up-to-date. The only effect seems to be this fairly annoying display bug, but nothing that is impairing the functionality of the system in a serious way. Thank you in advance for any help/insights/hints. Have a good day. -Joe ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Font problem with KDE rendering H1 text
Hello, I've recently begun experiencing a very strange phenomenon. My browser, Konqueror based on KDE 3.1.2, does not render text that is enclosed in H1 tags; instead, it presents a series of small boxes. Copying the boxes to the clipboard and pasting them to an xterm reveals the letters they are replacing. This only happens with H1-tagged text. I've not changed any of my font settings in Konqueror. This problem persisted across a quick upgrade from KDE 3.1.1a to 3.1.2, but did not appear until two days ago, when I likely upgraded one of the X-related packages (flurry of upgrades preceeded). Here are my X packages: XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-Server-4.3.0_8 XFree86-clients-4.3.0_2 XFree86-documents-4.3.0 XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-font75dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.3.0 XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.3.0 XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.0 XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0 XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 Xft-2.1.2 I hope that someone has some insight into this very bizarre, subtle problem.
