Files under /usr/ports that do not belong to the Ports Collection will
be deleted when you run cvsup, so /usr/ports/net/sup is not a good
choice.

Quoting cvsup(1) manpage:

[...]
  As many as three refuse files are examined for each supfile line.  There
  can be a global refuse file named base/collDir/refuse which applies to
  all collections and releases.  There can be a per-collection refuse file
  named base/collDir/collection/refuse which applies to a specific collec-
  tion.  Finally, there can be a per-release and tag refuse file which
  applies only to a given release/tag combination within a collection.  The
  name of the latter is formed by suffixing the name of the per-collection
  refuse file in the same manner as described above for the list file.
  None of the refuse files are required to exist.

  cvsup has a built-in default value of /usr/local/etc/cvsup for base and
  sup for collDir but it is possible to override both of these. The value
  of base can be changed using the -b option or a base=pathname entry in
  the supfile.  (If both are used the -b option will override the supfile
  entry.)  The value of collDir can only be changed with the -c option;
  there is no supfile command to change it.

  As an example, suppose that the base and collDir both have their default
  values, and that the collection and release are `src-all' and `cvs',
  respectively.  Assume further that checkout mode is being used with
  `tag=RELENG_3'.  The three possible refuse files would then be named:

/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/refuse
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/refuse.cvs:RELENG_3

  If the supfile includes the command base=/foo the refuse files would be:

/foo/sup/refuse
/foo/sup/src-all/refuse
/foo/sup/src-all/refuse.cvs:RELENG_3

  If -b /bar is used (even with base=/foo in the supfile):

/bar/sup/refuse
/bar/sup/src-all/refuse
/bar/sup/src-all/refuse.cvs:RELENG_3

  and with -c stool as well:

/bar/stool/refuse
/bar/stool/src-all/refuse
/bar/stool/src-all/refuse.cvs:RELENG_3
[...]


Personally, I use /usr/local/etc/cvsup as the base dir and /usr as the
prefix dir, i.e.

*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr

The refuse file I use for the entire Ports Collection is located at
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/ports-all/refuse.

Two desktops? If you really want to run both Window Maker and Fluxbox 
at the same time, then you need to run two X servers, one on screen 
:0 and one on screen :1. You'll have to refer to the X Window section 
of the Handbook.

If you want to run Fluxbox instead of Window Maker, just replace "exec 
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker" with "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox".

Setting up OpenLDAP

[Bob Hall]

OpenLDAP 2.1.22, FBSD 4.8

I'm trying to set up LDAP to store passwords. Eventually I will 
want to store addresses and do general authentication, but right 
now I just want to do something really simple: add passwords.

I installed from the ports using portintall, couldn't get it to 
work, and went back and reinstalled doing
# make depend
# make
# make test 
The install didn't fail any of the tests, although make kept looping
through the tests until I hit ^C. But I still have the same problems. 
If anyone has succeeded in installing OpenLDAP from the ports, I'd 
be grateful for any pointers.

I'm trying to do the Quick Install described at www.openldap.org. The 
first problem is that the doc claims that this is supposed to be a 
non-referring set up, which is what I want, but OpenLDAP complains that 
there's no referral. So I've uncommented the referral line in slapd.conf. 
But attempts to add records still fail. 

When I do search prior to adding records, I get
# /usr/local/bin/ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)'
dn:
objectClass: top
objectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
When I try to add records without a referral, I get 
# ldapadd -x -v -D "cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=net" -W -f domain.ldif
additional info: referral missing
With the referral, I get
ldapadd: update failed: dc=domain, dc=net   objectclass: dcObject   
objectclass: organization   o: SNAFU   
dc: domain 
ldap_add: Referral (10)
referrals:

ldap://root.openldap.org/dc=domain,dc=net%20%20%20objectclass:%20dcObject%20%20%20objectclass:%20organization%20%20%20o:%20SNAFU%20%20%20dc:%20domain

   My apologies, I shouldn't generalize. Some people replied
in the following lines "your system is old, you are lucky it
is working", or "the solution is so simple it does not deserve
to be mentioned".

   After seeing, in this and other lists, several people like me,
trying to find what was happening, I thought it would be helpful
if someone could post a fix (if available, even if a "dirty"
solution).

   Yes, that seems to be the case. And of couse there are
many people using old versions. Myself, I am still using 3.4
on some older machines due to hardware incompatibility with
newer versions.

   Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I update automatically
my ports, so I don't know where I could find an old version of
bsd.port.mk.

Hm?  I've seen lots of responses explaining the problem and multiple
solutions (upgrade system to 4.7 or later, upgrade pkg_* tools).  You
are running an old version of FreeBSD which the ports tree no longer
supports (although someone mentioned they were looking at a workaround,
I think).

Building and installing in /usr/src/pkg_install installs pkg_add,
pkg_check, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_sign, and pkg_version. 
 
>I tried both, with no luck.

You sure?  Are you failing with this error:

 ===>  Checking if portd/portname already installed
 *** Error code 1

This is almost certainly caused by an old pkg_info command that does
not understand -O.  To disprove me:

cd /usr/ports/devel/portlint 
ktrace -di make install
kdump | tail -60

and let us see those 60 lines, plus the output of "pkg_info -O" and
"ident /usr/sbin/pkg_info | grep info"

This is not true.  Patches to fix this problem are currently being tested

Only for older versions of FreeBSD.  FreeBSD 4.7 and greater do not have
this problem.

Assuming that was done correctly, it should have worked.  You would have
needed to cvsup a version of pkg_install that had -O support for pkg_info.

There are other options that were enumerated on this list as well as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You could have reverted bsd.port.mk to an earlier version where
pkg_info -O was not used.

Re: Cannot install any port

[Leonardo Lazarte]

Dear Tom,

   Unfortunately you have found a problem which those
in the know prefer to ignore.

   The ports system has been broken with the last
upgrade, and many of us which have found the same
problem could not find a solution.

   It has been suggested by some that you could copy
pkg_info from some newer version. Other person suggested
re-building pkg_install (in fact, it was incorrectly
suggested to build pkg_info), after cvsuping src.

   I tried both, with no luck.

   I will go the hard way, re-installing the system, with
a new version.

   As a side note, I mentioned that I have been using
FreeBSD for a decade (of course a rough estimate), and
have been corrected by very knowledgeble (sp?) people
in opposite directions. One said that FreeBSD was not
yet ten years old, other said it was ten years three
months. But still no help with a solution.

   Leonardo

RE: PPP Dial-in Server NOW WORKS

[Stephen]

First, thank you a million times over fbsd_user!  This has been bugging
me for a LONG time.  Quite kind of you to include all that information. 
Following the advice below and with some additional info I am able to
dial in, although I haven't gotten to the routing stuff yet.  Some
things I found that might be helpful to someone else:  

I found the /etc/gettytab file had to specifically be as follows:

default:\
:pp=/etc/ppp/ppplogin:\
   then the rest here..

In other words, adding the pp line to the end of the default section
didn't work for me.

My bare minimum /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file contains only:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set speed 115200
 set timeout 180

incoming:
 allow users   
 enable chap#will use ppp.secret
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.74 255.255.255.255

I also issued the following commands for my modem:

cu -l cuaa0  (use your appropriate number, cuaa1, etc)
ATZ
ATS0=1  (the 0 is zero, 1 tells modem to pick up on first ring)
AT&W
~.

And then:

ppp
ppp on yourcomputername > set device /dev/cuaa0
ppp on yourcomputername > set speed 115200
ppp on yourcomputername > term
AT
AT
~.
ppp on yourcomputername > quit

I discovered the necessary modem commands on the mailing lists while
googling.  On to the the routing...

Does you host name get set to anything at all? Did you accidently set the hostname in 
your rc.conf in /etc or /etc/defaults? If that not set may host name becomes a 
hostname set by DHCP which is a long string containing the ip address. Only if I've 
set hostname to something else do it give me something else.

Generally you still need to be root or have root privilege to do this; but 
might vary with different FreeBSD releases.

An alternative that may or may not suit your needs is ppi device access to
parallel ports eg /dev/ppi0; try:

Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI HostRAID Installation

[Nigel Wohlers]

Hello,

I am having some issues installing FreeBSD (4.8 and 5.1) onto a server which has
a SCSI HostRAID (http://www.intel.com/design/servers/se7501wv2/index.htm) mirror
partition setup.

FreeBSD 4.8>  manages to get the installation menu, after choosing standard
installation - reports no hard drives found.

FreeBSD 5.1>  halts at first menu (Probing devices) then errors - reports write
failure, hard disc full and begins rebooting process.

I managed to catch a glipse at load time which reports finding the host adapter
but has (Driver not attached) next to it.

After a bit of searching I found that this device is supported and uses the
'ahd' driver, I attempted to load this driver at boot time (and others) 'load
ahd' but to no avail.

I also noted this pr (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=51970) for
4.8-REL dated May 8th 2003.

Basically I would like to know whether it is possible to use this configuration
at present preferably on FreeBSD 5.1, or if not, would appreciate an alternative
to this, perhaps software RAID?

Thanks in advance, please let me know if any more information is required.

Regards,
Nigel.

There are several excellent books around that will give you a helping hand.  
It is well worth going and paying the cash and making your life a bit easier.  

There is Absoulte BSD by Michael Lucas which I can personally vouch for and 
there is The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey which I am told is also and 
excellent book.  

Absolute BSD covers version 4 and the latest version of Complete FreeBSD 
covers verison 5.  Either will be suitable for your needs.  You cant go 
wrong.

Well, thank you. And the other problem I got, is that when I tried to
use my sendmail to send the previous message to this FreeBSD.org postal
list, I got these errors in my maillog:
Jul 24 17:18:11 cnst sm-mta[1101]: h6OImYZI000711:

dsn=4.2.0, stat=Deferred: 450 : Helo command rejected: Host not found
   

Hi!

Well, thats clear: Your box comes with the fake FQDN of cnst in the HELO
command, which cannot be resolved by the remote host, in this case
mx1.freebsd.org, so it rejects the mail.
(Basic SPAM protection)
Solutions:

- The box gets the hostname corresponding to the IP that is
assigned at dialup.
So, if you get 1.2.3.4 as IP, which resolves to:
1-2-3-4.dial.provider.com   you would take care that this appears in the
HELO message.
- you use your providers MTA as smarthost.
In sendmail.cf it shall be the DS macro, IIRC.
Is the better way, because Dial-up-IP-ranges are often blocked due to
spammers and often misconfigured MTA...


I also use a 4.8 box as DSL Router via PPPoE, and there is a sendmail on
it. Ok, I'd have to check whether he can relay directly, and what IP in
the HELO appears, but the box itself can identify its IP without probs.
I'm also using the tunnel interface to connect...
But I'd recommend using a smarthost. Is better and cleaner.

I have a cable modem with nat, so the FreeBSD box itself does not has 
any routable ip-address (the ip, that is connects the box to the

OK, missed that.  The whole intention of the exercise I describe in

The way I describe works as well in this situation.

A much better approach, which I'll describe in the next edition of the
book, is to maintain all config files under RCS.  This gives you more
than one backup.

And how do you reuse the space taken up by your initial tiny

Then you're missing the point.  "length 0" just gives you the rest of
the volume.  Here you need to find the data which is already on disk.

There was an error in the first cut of this document.  Under some
circumstances it could lead to overwriting the bootstrap, thus making
the disk unbootable.  For further reference: the space required at the
beginning of the disk is 281 sectors, not 265 as originally
documented.  See the document for more details.

What does /var/log/cups/error_log say?

If that doesn't exist, create it and access_log with these permissions:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon58323 Jul 23 18:28 access_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon   117363 Jul 23 18:28 error_log

Then run cups.sh again and check error log, you will probably need to
create more directories.

Quite often this happens because you dont have a valid hostname that maps
to  a ip address. This is a problem when you are using a dsl or cable
modem with Dynamis ips. I suggest you look into a Dynamic dns service. I
use dyndns.org for a free hostname / dns service. They run on the Freebsd

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

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.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!

  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:

  unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
  which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
  not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
  messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
  clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies l

Hi!

Well, do the following:

in /etc/hosts, enter your domain name.

then, edit the file: /etc/mail/service.switch (or the corresponding file
location defined in sendmail.cf) with the values :
files dns

to make sendmail first look in /etc/hosts and then try to resolve via
DNS.

Alternatively, in sendmail.cf there is the option to specify the own
host name in case sendmail cannot determine it automagically.

BTW: sendmail wants some FQDN, like cnts.local or something. Missing
dots are iritating to sendmail.

Re: Problem with periodically done scripts

[Peter Rosa]

Well, well, well. We have done it.

I just tried sh /etc/security and it REALLY works well.
I have tried my changes in small fragment of /etc/security where I forgot to
define $rc in the beginning.
There was an really error in wc command - it did not count lines, so $n was
never set properly.
Thanks for everybody, who helped me with this strange thing. I have learned
a lot of new.

Even more to investigate who and how changed my wc file


Last changes I made:

cd /usr/src/bin/test
make
make install
make clean

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/wc
make
make install
make clean

And all works  :-))

Host name for sendmail.

[Constantine]

Hello,

I have a FreeBSD 4.8 box, I run it for my local small home network  I
use it as a router. My DSL-modem has a NAT feature, and FreeBSD does not
have any routable ip-address, only the modem does.
My sendmail always complains about the domain name every time I start my
FreeBSD, and the system is hanging for 2 minutes, until the sendmail
finally starts. What I want to do, is to keep my own sendmail (I use it
as my smtp-server), but I do not want the system to wait 2 minutes until
the sendmail starts. What can I do?

Re: Problem with periodically done scripts

[Peter Rosa]

You are right. We are so close the solution...

But WHY is $rc empty ? As you can see in my previous mail I send whole
security script, it is set in the beginning of script and then it is set
along whole script at least 10 times (using && or =). So it should not be
empty...

Re: Problem with NVIDIA drivers

[Vulpes Velox]

After installing it run XFree86 -configure and that should create a config file.
Test that. If it still crashes it is most likely a driver problem.

Dear Gilbert,

I have replaced wc with make install from /usr/src/usr.bin/wc and now it
works. Up now wc -l gave no results, now it give proper number.

Could you, please, explain the following line: [ $n -gt 0 -a $rc -lt 1 ] ???
Why are there [] ? When I write it at prompt as
[0 -gt 0 -a - lt 0] it writes [: 0: unexpected operator, but
[0 -gt 0 -a -lt ] writes nothing.
What is it ? What type of command is written such kind ?

It is announced clearly on the FreeBSD website that old FreeBSD
releases are unsupported.

You've been fortunate, but if your claim is true (the FreeBSD project
has existed for 10 years and 3 weeks, so you must have been one of the
very first users), then you've presumably got the skills to cope.

File table in this context refers to the table that keeps track of open
files I believe, not how full your disk is or how many inodes are used
up.

For more info checking out the tuning(7) manpage, particularly the
section starting 'LOADER TUNABLES' (although it's all good stuff:):

 kern.maxusers controls the scaling of a number of static system tables,
 including defaults for the maximum number of open files, sizing of net-
 work memory resources, etc.  As of FreeBSD 4.5, kern.maxusers is automat-
 ically sized at boot based on the amount of memory available in the sys-
 tem, and may be determined at run-time by inspecting the value of the
 read-only kern.maxusers sysctl.  Some sites will require larger or
 smaller values of kern.maxusers and may set it as a loader tunable; val-
 ues of 64, 128, and 256 are not uncommon.  We do not recommend going
 above 256 unless you need a huge number of file descriptors; many of the
 tunable values set to their defaults by kern.maxusers may be individually
 overridden at boot-time or run-time as described elsewhere in this docu-
 ment.  Systems older than FreeBSD 4.4 must set this value via the kernel
 config(8) option maxusers instead.

You can check the number of files open, max number of files available
etc etc by running 'sysctl -a | grep file':

kern.maxfiles: 8168
kern.maxfilesperproc: 7351
kern.openfiles: 419

HD problem, softupdates issue or nothing to be concerned?

[Vladimir Kushnir]

Hi,
Several times under heavy disk load (copy/delete large directories, the
last stage of CVS update) I got the messages like this last

free inode /usr/96318 had -765900 blocks
handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count

(with different inodes), and then during reboot something about mount
pending errors. After reboot fsck didn't show anything wrong, though.
Should I be concerned about my HD?

This is -CURRENT, with 60Gb IDE HD (WDC WD600JB) on an external CMD649
card.

TIA,
Vladimir

Yep.  When that happens, users cannot write anything until root removes
enough files to lower the freespace back below 100%.

Is this why occasionally a df call shows that a filesystem is over 100%

Postfix only listens on port 25 (as does every mail server).  Port 143
is for the imap server.

Show us the log files.  If mail comes in ok, and mail goes out ok then
I'm not sure what problem you have. [Where's it being queued?]

Show the output of postconf -n (non default configuration items) and
tell us which version of Postfix you are using.

Failing that, rebuild it one entry at a time; /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
is the original template.

Laptop keyboard maps wrong keys during install

[Kirk Strauser]

I'm attempting to install 4.8 on an old IBM 340CSE laptop.  I'm running into
a roadblock, though: although the keyboard works fine all the way through
the kernel configuration part at the beginning (moving around with arrow
keys, deleting modules, saving, etc.), the keymap seems to get corrupted as
soon as I get to the main menu.  That is, most keys don't work at all.  I
*think* that pressing "J" actually gets "Enter".  "K" gets "X" (I think).
No keycode seems to correspond to the key actually being pressed.

Again, the keyboard works perfectly *before* getting to the main menu, and
I've had Linux installed and running on it with no apparent idiosyncracies
before.  Any ideas of what might be going wrong?

Rats!  :-(

No, I'm done now.  Sorry.  If it were a problem with awk, sed, tee or wc,
you would expect to see errors generated by any script that uses them, so it
seems not to be related to that.

Now might be a good time to backup all your data, and upgrade to 4.8, as was
discussed in your previous thread.  Not a solution, as such, but at least
you'll end up with a nice shiny new install to look after!

Good luck,

Dan

Problem with NVIDIA drivers

[Marc LeMaire]

Hello,
I've installed the nvidia drivers from the ports. I've followed the 
instructions, and all the files are in their directory. But when I'm 
trying to start X, the machine crash and reboot. I've looked into the 
archives to see if someone had this problem but they are presently 
unavailable.

p.s.: Could it be possible that this line that I received everytime that 
I fired up X be the culprit ?
"bad display name "gryphon.krockmitaine.org:0" in "remove" command. How 
can I correct this ?

This is a fresh install, 4.8, with the latest cvsup. Also, the equipment 
is a GeForce 256 with a ViewSonic E790. I've included my XF86Config and 
the config file for my kernel.

Thanks in advance

I thought it was two edits' worth of backups?  As long as Peter hasn't made
more than two edits on the master file since the problem first occurred, he
should be OK.

Peter - if the backup copies were made before you first noticed the problem,
I think you can copy one of them back to /etc/master.passwd (but make a copy
of the current one first!) and run `vipw' to rebuild the database.

Thank you! :) Opening /dev/io did the trick.

It is doing xactly the same as my scripts (unexpected operator).

Everything gone well until April 20. Scripts my machine use are from
standard FBSD installation, so why they are not working now ?

dri falling back to software in 4.8-stable

[lreid]

I've been noticing that GL performance has been really awful on my system lately, so I 
did some digging around. Here's a glxinfo:

name of display: :0.0
libGL error: 
Radeon DRI driver expected DRM driver version 1.3.x or newer but got version 1.1.1
libGL error: InitDriver failed
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.2
client glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context
GLX extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4
OpenGL extensions:
GL_ARB_imaging, GL_ARB_multitexture, GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp, 
GL_ARB_texture_cube_map, GL_ARB_texture_env_add, 
GL_ARB_texture_env_combine, GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3, 
GL_ARB_transpose_matrix, GL_EXT_abgr, GL_EXT_blend_color, 
GL_EXT_blend_minmax, GL_EXT_blend_subtract, GL_EXT_texture_env_add, 
GL_EXT_texture_env_combine, GL_EXT_texture_env_dot3, 
GL_EXT_texture_lod_bias
glu version: 1.3
glu extensions:
GLU_EXT_nurbs_tessellator, GLU_EXT_object_space_tess

Now, the drm driver works correctly, and the radeon drier is loading fine. After 
turning on verbose debugging output in the libGL library, I get this:

libGL error: 
Radeon DRI driver expected DRM driver version 1.3.x or newer but got version 1.1.1
libGL error: InitDriver failed

Any ideas?

such a program would be a sendmail-like monster and would violate the

Could you be more specific or post the contents of your XFree86 log
somewhere?

You should be using XFree86 4.3.0 if you want the 9700 to work.
You should also be using the "radeon" driver.
In my case, I also had to override the chipid using:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Radeon 9800 Pro"
Driver  "radeon"
VideoRam131072
ChipID  0x4e46

To my knowledge, the only reason for using sendmail is that so many
people have used it for so long.  As others have noted, the
configuration is horrible and it has a disastrous security history.

My experience with sendmail is that every time I wind up using it, it
soon starts misbehaving.

I know some people who like postfix.  I like qmail.  I don't know
anyone who actually chooses sendmail -- it's just part of the package
they get when they install an operating system.

And, obviously, there are people out there who have successfully used
Sendmail for (seems like) decades.  There are also, obviously, people
who manage to avoid mucking up its configuration and breaking it.  I
happen not to fall into either of these categories.

Given the security history and configuration difficulties, I don't
know how anyone can argue that sendmail is a reliable and safe tool,
except perhaps in the hands of a rather expensive expert.  I also
don't know anyone who considers it particularly efficient.

So I don't know why anyone would choose sendmail.

dont know if you didn't send this mail to the list intentionally, but
thanx for the reply anyway :)

yes, like I said in my previous mail to this list as well, I DID try
other DVD players.. all with the same result. Also, the POST never gives
any error message, as I suppose it should do with broken hardware.

there are 2 possible solutions in my mind:
1. ATA driver is still somewhat broken,
2. There should be a way to adjust the time-out in the authentification
routine in the ATA driver (if there is any, that is).

It's more work to try to track the problem if you're using different
code than (for example, I am on my) system, so upgrading is a help to
the person trying to track it.

I don't have enough time to go into this in depth, but see if the
problem is affected by increasing the number of mbufs.

So use use.perl temporarily, and make sure you specify full paths
later.  [I *think* that will work...]

Re: udp packets dropping

[Vitali Malicky]

> Hello,
Hi.

try to assign sysctl vars like mine...

net.local.dgram.maxdgram=4096
net.local.dgram.recvspace=8192
net.inet.udp.maxdgram=9216
net.inet.udp.recvspace=41600
net.inet.raw.maxdgram=32767
net.inet.raw.recvspace=16384
net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=1

check if you netcard works in full duplex (though i think is's a stupid
remark of mine... ;)),
try to rebuild the kernel and add extra network buffering. with extra
buffering it all might work much better.

sorry if I was of no help...

You need to use parameters that are correct *for*your*display*.
If you can't get those from the manufacturer (often you can't, 
with laptops), then you should try to find a setting that
someone uses with similar laptop...

OK, yeah, it does, so there must be some other configuration that needs to
be done.

You shouldn't need to; certainly I don't remember needing to on
earlier releases, although it will go "boom" pretty decisively if the
install does run out of virtual memory.

Those are the values that typically do work...

That's in the partitioning step.

Hmm.  I don't have a system I can currently use to play with 5.x, so I
can't really tell...

Re: What version of BSD should I use

[Lucas Holt]

lol.

Sendmail configuration is terrible.

Some days i dream of a mail server that integrates smtp, pop and imap 
into one server that is easy to configure with built in spam filtering. 
 (oh and it has to work).  Then I realize I'm stuck with 6 different 
programs to handle essentially 1 service (user perspective).  All well, 
beats Exchange or imail.

Re: What version of BSD should I use

[Lucas Holt]

When I posted earlier, I was referring to bind 9.  It is a complete 
rewrite..

bind 4 was terrible.

As for sendmail, from my understanding the biggest problem in the past 
was that the entire thing ran as root.  Didn't they setup the delivery 
agent in 8.12 to run as a different user with lower privileges?

The standard dhclient-script sets the hostname.
At least, it sure *looks* like it does...

Depends on what he means by compatible. I took this to mean "will it
communicate with bind servers" and the answer is "yes it can be configured
to." Configuration is nothing like bind, which I find is one of its
strengths.

djbdns does two things which may be of interest to you:

1) It is a secure, rock-solid alternative to BIND, able to offer DNS
pretty much like BIND does, conforming pretty much to Internet
standards, just as BIND pretty much conforms to Internet standards.
I didn't see this function on your list of requirements.

2) It offers name service cacheing, as a secure rock-solid alternative
to named.  It works fine with Internet standard name servers.

It does other things as well.  A starting place for more information
would be http://www.djbdns.org/

Speaking a little bit about Dan Bernstein and safety and security:
There are lots of people who disagree with Dan.  Very few, if any,
have broken his security scheme.  I have used his software for quite
some time and found it to be reliable and efficient.

I also prefer the configuration model -- it suits my style.  And style
is a key word here, because I also know people who find Dan's
configuration styles impenetrable.

In my case, I found BIND impenetrable.

So the configuration argument is about style and what your admins will
be comfortable with.

A thornier issue is one of licensing.  Dan Bernstein offers his
software and the source for free.  He limits the distribution of
binaries and does not allow modified versions to be distributed
without his approval.  Therefore most distributions (Linux and BSD) do
not include it.

900 pages about configuring which mega program?
