Re: pcm isn't working using 4.8
OK, I figured it out guys/gals so no one needs to respond to my request. For some reason the symbolics didn't get connected when building 4.8. I'm not sure exactly why this is occuring with 4.8 (a bug maybe?), but suffice it to say, all that was needed was to: #cd /dev #sh MAKEDEV snd0 All is well now. Thanks again, Michael Michael wrote: Hello everyone, Is there anyone here on this list that can tell me what I need to do to get pcm sound working using 4.8 Release? This use to work properly on 4.7 Release but for some unknown reason (at least to me anyway) upon building 4.8, pcm sound is no longer working. I've built a custom kernel and added device pcm, which has always provided me sound for KDE. I have no sound whatsoever using KDE windows manager with 4.8 however. I take that back, I have one thing that works (I can't tell you why though) KsCD seems to know how to allow sound through through my speakers when playing a music CD, beyond that, sound is non existant. Here is my setup: Dell Precision 530 2.2 Ghz 1 Gig of RAM No sound card. (only the built in sound on the motherboard) I get the following message when logging into KDE which usually has disappeared after building a new kernel with 'device pcm' enabled.

cdrom-drive opens @ will
Hi all, I'm running this 1U server with a cd-RW-rom-drive. Every now and then the drive opens. Unfortunately it's a laptop sort of drive because it's in a 1U server, so it won't close by itself. I was wondering if there's any standard proces running on FreeBSD that opens it; I haven't monitored it's behaviour closely because I don't have permanent access to the box. There's no -eject option in any of my cdrecord cmds. I'm running FreeBSD 4.8 with a cd0: Slimtype COMBO LSC-24081M 3M35 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device. McAfee is installed (for MailScanner). I suppose it should be possible to lock the drive; the supportteam at CW where the box is hosted are getting a bit annoyed [they're considering superglue at this point]. Any suggestions as to why it opens and how this could be prevented [other than the Cable and Wireless-solution =:0] greatly appreciated!

Re: WIN2000 FreeBSD
Hi, Just a point of clarification here before it causes more confusion. On Sun, 29 Jun 2003, Quinn Ellis wrote: At 11:06 PM 28/06/2003 +0400, you wrote: How can I install WIN2000 and FreeBSD on one machine. The reason is in this: the FreeBSD loader cannot see WIN2000 fs, and WIN 2000 loader can't see FreEBSD fs. If you can, send me your reply in russian :) Firstly, freebsd can see NTFS, but not write to it. You need to partition up your hard drive, 1 for windows, and several for FreeBSD (Read more in the Handbook). Here there seems to be some confusion on the use of the word partition. FreeBSD uses the term slice to mean the major division of the disk that Microsloth uses the term partition for. You need only two of these slices (MS partitions) - one for Windows and one for FreeBSD although you can have as many as 4. Those slices are identified in FreeBSD land as s1..s4 (ad0s1..ad0s4 for IDE disk one for example) and as a letter drive in the MS netherworld (typically drive c, d, etc) These major divisions called slices are created by fdisk. Then, you further divide the FreeBSD slice in to partitions using disklabel which are named a..h.FreeBSD calls these sub divisions 'partitions'. You create filesystems on these FreeBSD partitions and mount them. There are conventions and expectations for some of these. Usually 'a' is used for the root (/) file system, 'b' is used for swap, 'c' us unused and set up to refer to the whole slice by a few things, 'd' seems to be unused, but I don't know the reason. The remainder (e-h) have any use although often 'e' is used for /tmp 'f' is often used for /usr or /var or sometimes /home depending on how you choose to spread out and manage your disk space. Often second and and subsequent extra disks are assigned to one whole use and in that case it is common to use either 'a' or 'e' or 'f' to be its name. Some times a chunk of each extra disk is used to add to swap space and typically the name 'b' is used for each of those regardless of which other letter names are used for the rest of the disk. So, for example, if you have a machine with 3 IDE disks, split the first to be boot disks for MSwin and FreeBSD, dedicate the second to MSwin and use the third to add to swap and work space, you might have disks addressed as follows: (Size choices are up to you, but remember, you always want more) ad0s2a mounted as /(eg root) ad0s2b swap ad0s2c a comment describing the whole ad0s2 slice ad0s2e mounted as /tmp ad0s2f mounted as /usr ad0s2g mounted as /var ad0s2h mounted as /home ad2s1b swap ad2s1f mounted as /work ad1s1 cal also be msdos mounted as something if you like. Note: You will need to install the boot loader on each disk that will have bootable systems on it.In this example, that is only ad0. And you will need to put a Master Boot Record on the first boot disk (from the BIOS point of view) - ad0 in this example. If you choose to make all of the first disk (ad0) be dedicated to MSwin and the second disk (ad1) dedicated to FreeBSD, for example, you would need to write a boot loader on both ad0 and ad1 and the FreeBSD MBR on the first disk (ad0) even though you don't put any other FreeBSD stuff on that disk. That is because the BIOS starts with that first disk to figure out how to boot and then the MBR takes over from there. And, at least up to WinXP the Microsloth MBRs could not boot a UNIX OS - but FreeBSD could do either. I have heard tell that now the MBR that comes with XP can do both, but haven't tried it. Although the descriptions of fdisk and disklabel in the man pages can at first be rather confusing, after a while they begin to make sense and are relatively easy to use. But, you can also use the sysinstall, either from an install CD or by invoking /stand/sysinstall and it will also do all your calculations for you in a minimal GUI interface. Sysinstall will also make it write the boot loader and MBR if you want. MS doesn't have anything exactly the same as those sub-partition divisions of the slice (tho it does have something else vaguely similar called an extended partition that is not compatible). So, this was a bigger comment than I had planned, but we seem to go over and over this same confusion so often. Sorry for no Russion. I took it about 39 years ago, but remember almost none. jerry I have them on two seperate hard disks, and use the 'gag' bootloader on my primary drive, with windows 2000, which will reconises both partitions and loads the appropriate one. FreeBSD's bootmanager can boot both win2000 and FreeBSD. You only have to install in on the master boot record (MBR) - the installation menu will ask for it. Uli. +---+ |Peter Ulrich Kruppa| | -

Serial Line Communications
Hi guys im back. Well i think i have taken care of the routing and such. I setup the local rl0(ethernet card) to 192.168.2.1 and in the hosts file i setup a slip-gateway as 192.168.2.2. This allowed me to use the command arp -s slip-gateway auto pub. This allowed me to ping the 192.168.2.2 side of my slip-gateway which is setup like this. slattach -h -l -s 19200 /dev/cuaa0 ifconfig 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.3 up This is a serial line connection to a pic micro controller. Ive run the TD and RD through an oscilloscope and dont seem to be getting anything out of them when i try to ping 192.168.2.3. Anyone have some good hardware/software tests i can try. I have two computers with bsd so i was thinkin maybe a serial line between them, any ideas on how to set that up?

Not likely, unless you're on really old or really obscure hardware. Anything newer than the second-generation Pentium-I should have an on-board dual-channel IDE controller built in. If you are using fairly old hardware, though, beware that several Pentium-I BIOSes can not support drives over 8GB, although if it was a good motherboard at the time, your vendor may have published an upgrade. These are getting hard to find, though. If your hardware is much newer than that, I don't think you'll have much to worry about.

The final thing which stumped me was Apple's Mail.app connecting to

So it's not necessary to put each user's critical space on a different filesystem. In fact, what quotas do is protect users from each other on a given filesystem. What he is saying is, if I want to control the size of a directory, but there will be file creations in that directory from more than one user, I need to do something besides quotas, since quotas only count how much that user has created, NOT how much is in the directory total. So my question was, is there a way to control how big a directory can grow, regardless of who is putting what files in that directory. So far, his answer was that I could just make each directory its own filesystem, which would definitiely work, but I wondering if perhaps there is a more elegant way to do this ?

Setting sendmail to auto block repeated denied sender?
HI all. Shot in the dark here, but I was just wondering if there was a way to get sendmail to automatically block or discard any messages (preferably discard) any messages from a particular email address that are repeatedly rejected due to unresolvable domain names. About every day I'll get a spam message that has an invalid email addy on it that won't resolve, so when fetchmail tries to deliver it, it gets rejected and fetchmail doesn't delete it off the server. I'd like to eliminate that of possible. I would like sendmail to automatically just set that particular rejected email address to auto discard after 10 consecutive rejections for a period of 24 hours so that fetchmail doesn't allow a ton of mail to pile up on the remote server because the local sendmail instance is rejecting its delivery. If this is possible, let me know how to do it.

I am so appreciative for the help, even though I managed to solve it on my own.

Re: question regarding quotas
Josh Brooks wrote to Lowell Gilbert: Again, I am just trying to take an arbitrary directory, say: /export/data7/homes/jerry and place a configurable limit on how big that directory can get, without mounting it as its own filesystem... FreeBSD doesn't support any filesystems that do this proactively. From an OS point of view, it doesn't really make sense. However, I can see a few scenarios where this would be helpful, and it is more than possible to enforce directory size limits reactively. For example: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo usage: $0 pathname 12 exit 2 fi QUOTA=102400; # Max. usage, kilobytes SIZE=`du -xd 0 $1 | cut -f 1` echo Directory size is $SIZE if [ $SIZE -gt $QUOTA ]; then echo $1 is over quota;# Take appropriate action, here... else echo $1 is OK; fi That's an illustrative example; it'll be easy to extend that to loop over an arbitrary list of users (or all system users). You can then run it periodically from cron(8) to check disk usage at the interval of your choosing, and react accordingly. As others have mentioned, users may find other directories and filesystems to store files, thereby circumventing your quota check. So, it's up to you to harden your system to mitigate that. Also, as this is a reactive approach, your users still have the ability to fill up your disk, but at least you can react appropriately (and possibly automatically). Though, I think I've at least answered your question. :-) Hope this helps, - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com 901-1st Avenue North - Saskatoon, SK - S7K 1Y4 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-244-7037 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PPP troubles SOLVED!!!
On Sun, 29 Jun 2003 19:49:20 -0700 (PDT) RexFelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's what I did. I copied the contents of /etc/ppp from my Linux partition to my Windows partition and then compared each corresponding file to it's freebsd counterpart. And what I found was that my resolv.conf files were different - the DNS nameserver address had been changed under Linux! Although using a Windows FAT32 partition is one way to share data between Linux and FBSD, if you're recompiling your FBSD kernel you might consider adding support for the Linux ext2 filesystem. You need a line like this in your kernel source: options EXT2FS You'll get a quaint warning about how you are about to contaminate your kernel with GPL code. Nevertheless, it will compile fine, and after installing the new kernel you'll be able to mount ext2 and ext3 partitions from FBSD. The advantages of not using FAT32 includes, among other things, allowing you to preserve permissions when moving files between FBSD and Linux. regards, Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can send e-mails to other mailing lists (non-freebsd ones) just fine but not any of the FBSD ones and the FreeBSD mailing lists is the main ones I care about. Hope someone could help me out here.
