Ports Name changes
Hi all. Occasionally ports have their names changed (as happened yesterday with autoconf and automake). Now when I run portupgrade I keep getting warnings that the names have changed, though there is no upgrade required. What steps should I follow to correct the names of my installed ports to match the latest names in the ports tree? would a portupgrade -f of each renamed port do the trick? Or would that be like using a bulldozer to skim a bowl of custard?

FBSD 4.8 ftp install with 3c509B: ep0 device is not configure ??
Hi, I'm installing FreeBSD 4.8 from floppies and want to proceed with ftp installation. This is on a fixed network at the university. The ethernet card is 3Com 509B (the BIOS says it's on interrupt 5). During the installation, after I have entered the network info, I get a message that says ep0 device is not configured.. It also says I should configure it later in the Network setup (where is that Network setup??). I have installed FreeBSD on a PC with a realtek ethernet card, and that installs like a charm. The realtek ethernet card is recognized without any trouble. So what's going on here and why do I run into this trouble with the 3Com509B card? Is ep device not part of the kern.flp/mfsroot.flp kernel? Help is very much appreciated!

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
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 The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.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 O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Rob wrote: Yep - just tried mount -u -r -f /mnt and also umount -f /tmp Both fail with I/O errors, presumably from the fdc0 device. Also when rebooting, the failed sync interferes with unmounting other filesystems, causing fsck(8)s on the way back up. But mount/umount can't just ignore the device status - if it says things are broken, what should they do? I don't know. I may have given wrongly the impression that I am familiar with this matter. I am not at all. I just noticed a very illogical behaviour when mounting my readonly floppy; that's all. With my simple mind, I would say: 'mount' should be able to detect that you do a read/write-mount, but the medium is readonly; so it should give an error message and NOT mount. BUT: if it does mount the medium (floppy), then umount should also do its job; and not, as it is now, refuse to umount.

Re: what kernel does freebsd use?
Hello, I've read that there are multiple kernels for BSD. What does FreeBSD use? Can I swap it out for other kernels? Or am I mistaken? Please break your lines around 72 characters. Maybe what you have seen is someone writing about creating a new kernel with something or other added or deleted. This isn't exactly the same as having multiple kernels that can be switched at weill. It is just recompiling _THE_ kernel with different options compiled in or out as the case may be. Some of those options are support for different peripherals, such as NIC cards, USB, etc. See the file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for many many more options. Once you build a new kernel with the options you want you put the new kernel which is in a file named 'kernel' in to the root directory (eg /kernel) and reboot.In general, you cannot change the kernel without rebooting and replacing that kernel file, although there are boot time options you can also select. Check the handbook, the archives, the man pages, etc for more complete information about kernel options and building new kernels. jerry Thanks Andrew -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, this is the answer. startx must now be run with the -listen_tcp option in order for remote X to work. That's not entirely true. There's a reason why startx was modified to prevent the X server listening on the network --- using a remote session via the clear text X protocol is about as bad as using telnet or rlogin or rsh: anyone can snoop on what you are doing and pick up any passwords etc. you happen to type in. Unless you're running solely over networks where there is no access by untrusted parties, you should be using encryption to protect your remote access. Generally that translates to use ssh -- and ssh(1) can protect your X sessions in exactly the same way that it will protect a tty based login session. It just needs a little configuration first. On your workstation (ie. with the screen in front of you), you need to tell the ssh client to attempt to tunnel X sessions with the remote machines you log into. Either edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config to change the defaults system wide, or edit ~/.ssh/config to make the changes on a per-user basis. You can select the systems you want to tunnel X stuff from by name, eg. add: Host foo bar *.example.com ForwardX11 yes (There's other options you can use here: see ssh_config(5) for details) Note that the name match is against what you type on the command line, not against the fully qualified name of the host. On the X server, make sure that /etc/ssh/sshd_config does not contain 'X11Forwarding no'. The default on FreeBSD and other systems that use OpenSSH (which is shown commented out in the sshd_config file) is to permit X11Forwarding, so likely you won't need to change anything. Now, to test, open a ssh session on a remote machine using the '-v' verbose option: % ssh -v hostname Amongst the output you should see: debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug1: channel request 0: x11-req and you'll find that the DISPLAY variable has been automatically set in your environment on the remote system to something like: % echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 Now when you start up an X program on the remote, it should display on your desktop, and all without having your X server listen on the network at all.

@${ECHO_MSG} You will have to run ${DATADIR}/mkimapdcert to

Believe this will get you going:
% su
# cd /usr/local/etc/courier-imap
# cp -p imapd-ssl.dist imapd-ssl
# cp -p imapd.dist imapd
# cp -p authdaemonrc.dist authdaemonrc
After copying the following I edited it for my location just
in case I
ever used x509 certificates:
# cp -p imapd.cnf.dist imapd.cnf
and for POP3 (I don't use):
# cp -p pop3d.dist pop3d
# cp -p pop3d.cnf.dist pop3d.cnf
# cp -p pop3d-ssl.dist pop3d-ssl
and finally:
# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
# cp -p courier-imap-imapd.sh.sample courier-imap-imapd.sh
# sh courier-imap-imapd.sh start
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your instructions are perfect and
complete. I was able to run the startup script without errors and see
authdaemond.plai, couriertcpd, and courierlogger in the ps output so I guess
it's running.
The final thing which stumped me was Apple's Mail.app connecting to
courier-imapd ran an infinite loop of repeating connects because
~/Maildir was only a directory and did not contain cur/ new/ and tmp/
directories. See maildirmake(1). Unless you are using quotas
it doesn't
appear to be any different than ( umask 77; mkdir -p ~/Maildir/cur
~/Maildir/new ~/Maildir/tmp )
I ran maildirmake (as me, not root) in my home directory and it made the
Maildir and associated files. However when I attempt to log in using an
Outlook Express client (what I have at work), the login fails.
I used to have courier-imap running but a hard drive failure has left me
rebuilding my whole system. I thought I had good backups until I tried to
restore them...but that's another story. Anyway, my point is that because
the OE client used to work, I'm sure it's configured correctly and it's the
imap server that's not. So, is there a default log file? I used to see
imap messages in /var/log/maillog but I don't see any now. How can I turn
on logging? I've read the imapd man page but have not seen anything. A
quick search on Google yielded no results either. I'm going to continue
looking but if you happen to know I'd really appreciate it.
It seems when I did this before, I had to edit something to provide the
right pam modules? I'm probably not saying it right but it was something to
do with pam.
Thanks again. With any luck I'll be up soon.

3Com 3CR990-TX-95/3CR990SVR95
Friends: I recently purchased a box of 3Com 3CR990-TX-95 NICs from eBay and am currently in the process of testing them with a Dell system that a friend lent me (sorry, no specs). The back of the functional cards are printed with the following information: FAB 02-0182-000 REV 07. The only one that has proven to be incompatible (see below) states REV 05. This is strong evidence to me that the issue lies in the cards themselves and that, for some reason or another, REV 05 cards are incompatible with the txp driver. This solitary card, surprisingly, seems to function just fine from the outside (i.e., the 100Mbps indicator light illuminates and the ACT light blinks) but spawns a kernel panic when trying to boot or install 4.8-RELEASE or 5.1-RELEASE. When installing either release, I get the following message as /stand/sysinstall loads.

Re: PPP troubles SOLVED!!!
Good to know FreeBSD can mount EXT2 and EXT3 partitions. Thanks for the information. :) The problem remains, however, since I highly favor ReiserFS for use with Linux. EXT2 has given me crash recovery issues and EXT3 does not perform as speedily as ReiserFS. ResierFS just takes whatever I throw at it, bats it aside, and keeps on moving without even a flinch. Kind of like the FreeBSD filesystem does. So... since I have a FAT32 partition I might as well put it to *some* use, since Lord knows I haven't much use for Windows anymore. lol Shannon __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: what actually happens with rejected mail?
The reject email summary will most likely never reach the sender, but things like User Unknown are communicated during the SMTP conversation, in which the sending spammer will get some info indicating that you are a bad recipient. Spammers usually try their best to get rid of addresses that they know is bad. This is why milters are so good. You can have the milter send back a 550 User unknown when you encounter spam.

5.1-RELEASE Windows XP dual-boot issues
[Please cc: me in any replies as I am not currently subscribed to this list. Thank you.] Hello all, Previously, I had a dual-boot setup with FreeBSD 5.0 and Windows XP. I was using booteasy as the boot loader and I had no problem booting into either Windows or FreeBSD. However, I found myself having to reinstall FreeBSD so I decided to go with 5.1-RELEASE. As usual, I chose to use the FreeBSD boot loader on ad0 (the Windows drive) and to install a standard mbr on ad1 (the FreeBSD drive). After the install, I was able to boot FreeBSD with no problems at all, but when I went to boot up Windows, I received the dreaded 'NTLDR missing' message. So, to get the point, I was wondering if there was a way to make the Windows disk bootable again *without* having to reinstall Windows. I know that if I reinstall Windows, it will think it's king of the universe and write over booteasy and thus make my FreeBSD installation unbootable. I've tried searching google and the list archives, but, surprisingly enough (as I know there have been about a billion threads along this line), was unable to find anything useful. Any advice or pointers on how to do this would be *greatly* appreciated.

performance tuning?
Hi all. I have a question about the speed at which my applications are running. I have a dual boot Win98 and FreeBSD 4.8-stable (separate hard drives). In winblows, my multimedia is great - no hesitations, smooth audio and video, etc. But in FreeBSD, any application I run seems to go MUCH slower. MP3 audio is slow, and slows even more if I even only move my mouse. Video is a waste of time, playing perhaps 1/2 the speed that it does in winblows. I have: Cyrix pentium II (300 MHz) 128 MB RAM Radeon 7000 (32MB) video card. Even if I configure KDE to run soundserver with realtime priority, this does absolutely nothing. I don't believe X is slowing it down (too much), because even in console mode, mpg123 plays mp3 audio just as slow as when I'm using X. Even when I kill -9 all background daemons (i.e. httpd, smtp, pop3, ssh, telnet...) it still goes this slow. How can I go about performance tuning my apps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Copy /boot/boot1 from your FreeBSD setup CD, hard disk, or fixit media to an msdos floppy disk: mount -t msdos /floppy cp /boot/boot1 /floppy umount /floppy 3.) Boot into WXP, copy 'boot1' from the floppy to your C:\ drive and call it 'bootsect.bsd', then add an entry in your C:\boot.ini like this: C:\bootsect.bsd=FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE Reboot and enjoy. It's not really quite that cut-and-dry in practice (sometimes you'll have to manually set the WXP partition as bootable from FreeBSD's fdisk utility, for example. And when doing a fresh install, you'll probably have to get boot1 from the fixit media.), but those are the basic steps, and if you can muddle through them you'll be alright. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

Problems with Userland PPP as PPTP/PPPoE server
All: I'm having a terrible time with servers in which I'm using FreeBSD's userland PPP to provide PPPoE or PPTP service. It appears that every so often -- usually after a client's connection is severed for some reason (for example, if the client simply shuts of his or her machine without doing a complete disconnect first) -- he or she can't log in again until the machine is rebooted. Sometimes, in fact, NO ONE can get in until the reboot. Here's an example. Log excerpt 1 below is from a machine that's operating as a PPTP server. It's using userland PPP with PoPToP (which is GPLed, I know, but I can't find any other way of doing a PPTP server under FreeBSD without using mpd. Why am I not using mpd, you might ask? Well, for one thing, mpdrequires huge configuration files -- and huge numbers of Netgraph nodes, which can eat kernel memory -- to act as a server for many potential clients. (Each client needs to have an ng device permanently reserved for it.) And its configuration language is so limited that we simply can't do connection management and accounting. We have accounts that expire and also want to be able to prevent multiple simultaneous logins under the same user name. Userland PPP lets us do what we need to do by letting us shell out to our own software and pass it information; a kludge, but it works. But mpd doesn't even have this escape. In any event, back to the problem. As you can see, when a connection attempt fails, it seems as if responses from the client during negotiation are just not coming though. The server gives up after a few tries. After I reboot the server, the client can connect, as the second log excerpt shows. I've had similar quirky behavior with PPPoE, using pppoed. (In this case, pppoed keeps spawning new instances of ppp, none of which connect successfully.)

Samba passwords
samba-2.2.8a FreeBSD 4.8 I'm trying to get samba running on my FBSD server. I've done this previously with another server, but I can't seem to get it to work this time. If I turn off password encryption, then I pass all the tests in the DIAGNOSIS file, but Win2k obviously won't allow the connection without encrypted passwords. If I turn encryption on, I pass any test that doesn't involve a password. I created the password file with make_smbpasswd. I also tried importing a password file used with an earlier version of Samba, and editing the usernames and user ids. There is no ENCRYPTION file included with this port, and I can't find any other instructions for setting up the password file. I've googled and searched, and can't find anything that goes beyond what I already know. If someone could point me to instructions for setting this up, I'd be grateful.

Since the floppy wasn't in when you booted, it didn't do anything useful. There are some grub things that need to be on the disk that you give the root designation too, e.g. stage1, etc... I don't know how/where to install those files into an NTFS partition, I assume that GRUB can read NTFS filesystems, and you could tuck them there, but I don't know for sure. Here's what I'd do. Get yourself booted into freebsd any way that you can. PRINT OUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIOS PARTITION TABLE AND YOUR FREEBSD DISKLABEL, AND SAVE IT. fdisk -s and disklabel -r diskname are your friends Build grub from the ports tree and install it. It installs all of the juicy bits into some directory in /usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd/..., which doesn't seem to be a place where grub can find it. I make a directory called /boot/grub and copy all of them there. Start grub (e.g. boot from your grub floppy). Under the 5.0 systems, GEOM is picky about letting you doink with disks that you have mounted, so you either need the let me shoot myself in the foot sysctl patch (ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/patches/geom-foot.patch) or boot from something else (e.g. floppy, live cdrom, ...) Make sure that grub can see it's various interesting bits: grub find /boot/grub/stage1 and it should say: (hd0,1,a) assuming that you have Something Else (e.g. windows) in the first primary BIOS partition/slice, a set of FreeBSD slices in the second primary BIOS partition/slice, and the /boot/grub stuff is in the first (a) BSD_DISKLABEL/slice. If you have the grub bits living in a Linux filesystem in the third primary BIOS partition, it'd say (hd0,2). If you had them in a Linux filesystem living in the first extended partition, it'd say (hd0,4), etc That's the drive that you want to declare as your root, which just configures the low level grub code that setup installs so that

[grub stuff snipped] A few comments about the thread so far: ISTM the easiest thing for you to do is install booteasy on *both* drives. That should work fine. I think Jesse Guardini's suggestion works when Win and FreeBSD are on the same drive. You can still use the NT/2K/XP bootloader when the OSs are on different drives, but problem is, I could never figure out exactly what the FAQ was trying to tell me on that score. You might take a look at the FAQ and see if it's clear to you. Grub is a fine bootloader, but I've heard it doesn't like UFS2 filesystems, and I've also heard 5.1 uses UFS2 for / as default, causing grub not to work. Is your / UFS1 or UFS2? (Or to ask another way, did you upgrade via cvsup (resulting in UFS1 root) or install 5.1 from scratch (resulting in UFS2 root)? If you can use grub and decide you'd like to do so, the rootnoverify line is no longer necessary with Win2K. You may want to have a look at GAG, which is freeware, open source, graphical, and rather automagic. Worked out of the box on my setup, which involves dual booting Win2K and FreeBSD from a RAID0 array.

BTX halted
I recently got a new, large hard drive for one of my two servers and transferred everything over from the old 4GB drive. So then I wanted to take the old drive and combine it with the other old drive -- my idea is to transfer /usr/home to one of them and leave the rest of the system on the other. We also got new machines for our students, which gave me another box that is just a little better than the box I'm currently using -- 200MHz instead of 166MHz. The thing is, I'm not entirely sure what chip is in the 200Mhz box. The old hard drive was compiled for an i686, while the other server is compiled for an i586. So I plugged the old hard drive in and tried to boot up. I got a screen dump: BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 int=0006 err= efl=00010246 eip=1934 eax=00021d60 ebx= ecx= edx= esi= edi=00020c34 ebp=00094bec esp=00094bdc cs=0026 db=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033 cs:eip=0f 44 d6 89 55 fc 46 83-2c b7 00 74 05 83 fa ff ss:esp=00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff BTX halted So I took the drive back to its original box, booted up with no problem, recompiled the kernel with *both* i586 and i686 in the CPU type section, booted up again to make sure it worked. Took it back to the other box -- same problem. BTX halted. Took it back to the original box and recompiled as GENERIC. Booted up to make sure it worked, took it back to the other box -- same problem. I've done a google search without finding anything that helps. Can anyone suggest a solution? I can boot up with a floppy and run the fixit disk on the new box, so I may end up just wiping the disk and making a clean install, but if I can preserve the working system it would be nice. Also, I would have to install over ftp, which takes quite a while. -- Roger ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dial-up Modem Problems
I just installed FreeBSD5.0-RELEASE and I'm trying to set up my internal PCI modem for dial-up internet connection. The modem is a Diamond Multimedia SupraMax 56i, and it's not being detected. I've played around with /boot/device.hints and the kernel configuration, and I have no idea how to get FreeBSD to detect my modem. I don't know whether or not it's a winmodem, I don't think it is. If it turns out that setting this modem up will eventually be a futile effort, please help me out in choosing a modem that will work for sure.
