date:20030821

Hi,
I've got the calendar program emailing me events that occurred
(supposedly) today in history.

However, it's listing events that occurred tomorrow.  Is that normal?
The date is correct on my system and the email date is correct.



Thanks,
Charles

MySQL from ports on FreeBSD 5.1

2003-08-21 Thread Wayne Pascoe

Hi all,

I'm having problems building MySQL from ports on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2.
In /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server I'm doing make install. After
quite a while, I get the following error:

checking if conversion of longlong to float works... Segmentation fault
(core dumped)
no
configure: error: Your compiler cannot convert a longlong value to a
float!  If you are using gcc 2.8.# you should upgrade to egcs 1.0.3 or
newer and try again

Anyone seen this ? Anyone have a workaround to allow building of MySQL
on FreeBSD 5 ? 

Thanks in advance,

Cvsup script question

Hi,
I'm cvsup'ing from a script in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily.
Here 'tis:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
Echo
Echo Output of cvsup:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile
Echo
Echo Output of portsdb:
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu
Echo
Echo Output of portversion:
/usr/local/sbin/portversion

It works, but (1) produces a ton of output, (2) I'm seeing a lot of
lines in the output of portsdb that say, (some port) non-existent,
dependency list incomplete.

Are those lines in the output of portsdb coming from STDOUT or STDERR,
or are they completely normal?

How about we alter the script as follows to keep the output down a
little?

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 0 /etc/cvsupfile # Keep quiet except for
errors
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu  /dev/null # Hopefully, show only
errors
Echo
Echo Updated ports:
/usr/local/sbin/portversion | grep   # Show only changed ports

Will these changes break anything?



Thanks,
Charles

dvd+rw-tools

2003-08-21 Thread Wayne Pascoe

Hi all,

Sorry for the load of posts this week, but I've got a new toybox and
they aren't working well...

I'm trying to use dvd+rw-tools port to burn DVD's. My first problem was
that after burning a DVD, I was unable to eject it. I had to reboot the
machine and only then could I get the disc out. Otherwise, it appears to
have burned ok.

Now I'm trying to erase the disc so I can try burning a larger volume.
I've tried using dvd+rw-format, as follows:

dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0
I then got
* DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.5.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- media is not blank
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
  -force[=full] to enforce new format or mode transition
   and wipe the data;
  -blank[=full] to change to Sequential mode.

I've since tried dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0 and 
dvd+rw-format -blank=full and both returned the error:

* DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.5.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- [unable to umount]: Bad file descriptor

Has anyone successfully written or erased DVD-RW media on FreeBSD 5.1
using this tool from ports ? 

Thanks in advance.

Email clients

Hiya folks,

As I use my FBSD box at home more and more each day, my Windows box is used 
less and less. That is a good thing.  I would like some recomended mail 
clients that run on both my FBSD box and to run on my Window box. 

Idealy, they ought to be able to import/export mail to each other.
As an added feature, but not entirely needed, the Windows version might be 
able to import mail from Outlook?

I still need my Windows box to access work via a PIX, but for now, Outlook is 
the only MS product (besides the OS) that's on it. OpenOffice is the Office 
package I am using and demoing for work. 

I hope that with at least RC4 of OOo, I'll be able to sway the department 
heads on that. However, I would need an email client to replace Outlook also. 

Any suggestions would be cool.

Best regards,
 Chris

Problems with PCI RAID installation on FreeBSD 4.8

2003-08-21 Thread Christopher Raven

Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.8 onto an Intel ISP2150 that I have ripped 
the SCSI cabling and boards from in place of a PCI RAID system. All seems 
to have gone well and I can boot and configure the RAID card locally 
(4x80GB). However, FreeBSD insists in seeing the RAID (supposedly striped 
and mirrored) as 4 separate disks... ad4 - 7.

Is this correct? Do I need to change something here in FreeBSD as I can't 
see anything obvious in the docs or from searching the web on this?

If I continue the installation FreeBSD asks me to choose one of the disks 
it sees for the install and seemingly ignores the others. The geometry 
displayed during the install is correct on a per disk basis (i.e. it shows 
80 not 160).

BTW, I'm not subscribed so please CC me on any reply

cheers,
Chris R.

Indeed, there is a Linux VPN client from Cisco however, it demands a certain 
version of the Linux kernel. I don't know if there is a way around that.

As to Wine - I have thought of that, but tried to steer away from that sort of 
emulation.

That is the format for the system crontab. /etc/crontab

user crontabs have a different format then the system crontab.

Remove the root from that line, and it should work.

I was just wondering because the default installation of crontab has the
following comment line in /etc/crontab:

#

...and the entries that I found there had 'root' under the 'who' column. I
haven't edited the crontab-file before yesterday when I added my two
lines.

You didn't add them to /etc/crontab.

But having said this I removed 'root' under the 'who' column and now it
seems to work nicely again. Why is there the 'who' column in the system
default crontab or what crontab file did crontab read before I ran
'crontab /etc/crontab' since the format of that crontab file seems to be
incorrect?

You edited your *user* crontab. Maybe the user crontab for root,
but not /etc/crontab. User crontabs have exactly the same format as
/etc/crontab *except* for the user column (because they assume the
user, naturally enough).

For more information, you could see the FAQ entry on exactly this

Missing libintl.so.1 for Gnome2 build


I am trying to build Gnome2 on my system (FreeBSD 4.8), and keep
running into a problem. I'm getting the following error:

=== Building for pkgconfig-0.15.0
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libintl.so.1 not found

I see from some other archived messages that this has something 
to do with gettext, so I tried deinstalling and reinstalling
this, but no joy. I do have libintl.so and libintl.so.4, both
under /usr/local/lib. The archived messages also didn't allow me
to figure out what I need to do to get through this.

So, what do I need to do to get through this? Would be grateful for
any help, esp. since I had do remove Gnome1 to prep for this build
and am thus without any GUI desktop at the moment.

Thanks.

It could be correct if you haven't set up your RAID card correctly. Is 
it a hardware or software controlled RAID card. If it's hardware 
controlled, you have to set up your RAID configuration in the card so 
FreeBSD recognizes it as 1 disk. If it's software controlled, cou can 
use something like ccd or vinum.
See this articles for more info on vinum:

  OK, I jumped the gun here.
  After browsing through some of the calendar.* files, I 
 realize that it
  sends an event for tomorrow if no event for today exists.
  Sorry about that.  :-)
 
 
 From the man page:-
 
  The calendar utility checks the current directory for a 
 file named
  calendar and displays lines that begin with either 
 today's date or tomor-
  row's.  On the day before a weekend (normally Friday), 
 events for the
  next three days are displayed.

I read the man page before I posted, but didn't understand what either
today's date or tomorrow's. meant before I browsed the calendar.*
files.  I thought it might be set to display tomorrow's date by default
and I needed to set it to display today's date.

You could try checking /etc/adduser.conf perhaps there's an option in
there to specify the password hashing method.  I have a feeling it doesn't
support other password hashing methods for some reason, but I may be
wrong.

Instead you may want to use the 'pw' utility:

pw adduser

which I believe adheres to the password hashing method you specify for
the system.

 that after burning a DVD, I was unable to eject it. I had to reboot the

 have burned ok.
 
 Now I'm trying to erase the disc so I can try burning a larger volume.
 I've tried using dvd+rw-format, as follows:

 I then got

 - media is not blank
 - you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:

and wipe the data;
   -blank[=full] to change to Sequential mode.
 
 I've since tried dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0 and

 Has anyone successfully written or erased DVD-RW media on FreeBSD 5.1

Just overwrite with growisofs. dvd+rw-format should only be used ONCE.

Hi,

I use Promise FastTrak TX2 with great success for RAID 1 with two disks. 
Worked right away with the GENERIC kernel. A cheap card that does 
exactly what I want. I can probe the array status with atacontrol which 
is pretty much enough for me.

To select a random file from the directory, try this:-

DIR= the directory 
nfiles=$(ls -1 $DIR | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
fileno=$(( ($RANDOM % $nfiles) + 1 ))
FILE=$DIR/$(ls -1 $DIR | head -n $fileno | tail -n 1)

# $FILE now contains the full pathname of the file to
# upload. I'm sure you can handle the upload task :-)
#
# Note: this script may re-use the same file later. To
# prevent this, add a line below the upload:
#  mv $FILE /somewhere/else/
# That way the directory will only contain unused files.

hubs and promiscuous packet listening

2003-08-21 Thread Aaron Wohl

Does anyone know the model number of a cheap hub to use when packet
sniffing?  The two suposed hubs I have seem to be blocking packets not
addressed to me same as a switch would...

I'm trying tcpdump and ipgrab as root via a hub to listen to anouther
computer.  The interface is going into promiscuous mode as ifconfig
shows:

  fxp0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu
  1500

But I cant see any traffic for the other machines on the hub.  I tried
listening on a linux box on the same hub with the same problem... I tried
a second hub, same problem.  One hub is a linksys EFAH05W the other is a
linksys NH1005.

I was wondering if linksys labeled a hub because only one packet can pass
thru it and a time and it has no buffereing but its still not spamming
each packet out all the ports like I want it to do for debugging?

Actually, I take that all back.  The fix in BSD.usr.dist introduces a
new directory:

/usr/share/locale/am_ET.UTF8

Unfortunately the rest of the make installworld process is expecting:

/usr/share/locale/am_ET.UTF-8

Now you need version 1.188.2.44 which has the correct fix in it, as of
7 minutes ago.  Unfortunately that's too recent for it to have
propagated to the cvsup server I usually use.

Oh well, it's not like I have that much use for the amaharic locale...

  Bob Hall
 
 
 Recent sendmail configurations route all local email through the sendmail
 daemon that usually listens on port 25.  There was a security reason
 for the change.  Since local email is essential, for example for reporting
 the results of the daily scripts run out of crontab, you should either
 reenable your sendmail daemon on port 25 or reconfigure your local email
 to not route everything through the daemon.  There are instructions
 for doing this somewhere in the sendmail documentation.  I think it
 involves hacking /etc/mail/submit.cf.

Thanks Dan. I've changed 
sendmail_enable=NONE
to NO and added
sendmail_submit_enable=YES
From the rc.conf man page, I think that enables listening at localhost.
At reboot, I got 
sendmail-clientmqueue
so I think I need to add
sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
to rc.conf, since I'm not queuing outbound mail. The man page is a bit 
cryptic, so someone tell me if I'm wrong.
 
 Note: the sendmail binary that comes with FreeBSD was built with libwrap.a
 support.  That means it obeys /etc/hosts.allow and can be told to reject
 all non-local connections to port 25.

sendmail : localhost : allow
sendmail : ALL : deny

Thanks again.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the reply.  I believe I did.  To your knowledge, should the
following work:

city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/passwd
smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent

city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/group
smmsp:*:25:

Or will the /nonexistent home directory and /nonexistent bogus shell entry
cause problems?

ed1 network problems on laptop

2003-08-21 Thread Michael A. Smith

I've got a Sony VAIO PCG-FX101 (vanilla Celeron 600 laptop). It's run 
FreeBSD without a problem before. I just installed a new hard drive and 
installed 4.8-RELEASE on it. Now, I'm having all kinds of network 
problems that I didn't have a few days ago with the exact same 
hardware/OS (except the hard drive). I'm using a SMC PC-Card NIC (comes 
up as ed1).

When I try to cvsup my source tree or ports, I get a message like this:

  TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection closed

That's not the only error I've seen while cvsupping, but the only one 
I've seen today. It happens every time I try to cvsup.

When FTPing anything, the connection hangs mid-session (unless it's a 
small up/download). I've been able to install some ports, but usually 
they hang on the FTP download.

When SSHing to other hosts, I can go merrily along, but within five or 
ten minutes, I lose the connection.

SOME SUCCESS
I was able to successfully cvsup my source tree and ports tree AND 
portinstall XFree86-4 and xcfe4 (big downloads, LOTS of dependencies). 
The way it worked was this: I'd tried and tried to cvsup without luck. I 
left the machine on and went to the office. FROM MY OFFICE FREEBSD 
MACHINE, I was able to log into my home machine, su to root, flawlessly 
cvsup and portinstall a bunch of things. I thought my problems were 
somehow solved -- WRONG. When I try doing any of those things from the 
machine itself, I can't.

Since I was able to cvsup remotely, I've rebuilt my whole system (world 
and kernel) to 4.8-STABLE.

SOME TRIAL-AND-ERROR
I've done web searches on the error string above and found people with 
the same problem (apparently), but no definitive solution. I've made 
sure that there's no IRQ conflict with the NIC (it shared IRQ 3 with the 
sio1, which I've commented out of the kernel and rebuilt). I've also 
made sure the laptop's BIOS is set for a non-PNP OS.

I had 4.8-STABLE running on this machine a few days ago (on a too-small 
hard drive) without a hitch. No network glitches at all. Argh.

Any clues?? I don't wanrt to re-install from scratch -- and doubt it 
would do any good!

Copying an entire tree

2003-08-21 Thread Pat Lashley

Is there any simple clean way to copy an entire directory tree and
preserve both the flags (like schg) AND hard links within the tree?
(And, of course, preserve device special nodes, etc.)
cp -r   Copies hardlinked files as separate files
cpioDoesn't preserve flags
pax Doesn't preserve flags
dumpOnly works on entire filesystems
If it matters, I'm particularly interested in doing this on RELENG_5_1;
but a solution that works in 4-STABLE would also be appreciated.


Thanks,

 This is a FAQ.
 
 When you update mozilla you often need to remove your old .mozilla
 directory (save the bookmarks.html if you like).  They are not very
 careful to maintain backwards compatibility.

This is a brand new system that has never had a .mozilla dir

 mozilla is also VERY sensitive to being built with consistent library
 interfaces - if you have stale headers lying around on the system, or
 old/mismatched versions of the dependencies, it can become confused in
 this fashion.

Would you suspect this to be a problem on a brand new 4.8 install
(i.e. there has never been anything else on this disk)? Maybe it
doesn't build with a stock 4.8 version of ports? Has anyone ever tried
this?

  Additions to the panel (like adding a launcher) only affect the current

  as root.  Then, you can actually edit the /usr/X11R6/share/gnome space,

  root, and you don't have any write permissions under
  /usr/X11R6/share/gnome.
  
 We agree that is how things _should_ be. However it's not how things _are_
 on this box. Actually I just started checking around, and when I log in as
 myself (non root account), I have now found that if I bring up a terminal,
 and type who am i the answer is _root_!. So perhapsh this is a gdm bug?

What version of gdm do you have installed?  Are you using the default
configuration?  I use gdm on all my GNOME 2 machines (4 in all), and I
have never seen this problem.  Did you setuid root any of your gdm
binaries?

IP Problems

2003-08-21 Thread Ben Dover

  OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger than 
what I have found but here goes.  I have a dedicated 5.1 FreeBSD box and 
when I did a dmesg I received a repeating message as follows:
arplookup 66.246.xx.1 failed: host is not on local network
  This peaked my curiosity so I pinged the bank of IP's I have in the range 
of that IP and I was able to ping them with a response.
  Something quick I can do to test to see if the IP will bind is compile an 
IRC bouncer.  I found the bouncer would not bind to the IP 66.246.xx.185 as 
a normal account user and the bouncer would not function.  If I SU to root 
and start the bouncer the IP would bind and the bouncer would function 
correctly.  It should be noted that the bouncer was compiled as the normal 
account user.
  I have two different sets of IP's on my box and I have added them in the 
rc.conf in the following way:
ifconfig_sis0_alias10=inet 209.123.xx.200 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig_sis0_alias11=inet 66.246.xx.185 netmask 255.255.255.255
  Do I have the IP's added wrong in rc.conf?  What am I doing wrong? Why do 
I receive the dmesg which appears to be an error?  Any assistance would be 
appreciated.

Re: Copying an entire tree

2003-08-21 Thread Dan Strick


 No, I hadn't thought of using rsync for a purely local copy.  But now
 that I've tried it, add it to the list of utilities that lose the flags.

 So far, the only thing I know of that seems to do everything right

I have another program that might be a bit cumbersome to set up for a
one-time copy.  You would have to edit a Makefile to specify its
installation directory and do make install.  Since the program is
designed to maintain identical (i.e. with a carefully managed set of
differences) branches of file systems on possibly large numbers of
different machines, the command syntax can be a bit messy.  I routinely
use a simple shell front-end to compare and copy file system branches
on my machine(s).  This program may be overkill.  (Note: a command
line flag is required to enable special file copies.)

If you are desperate and have enough free space in the file system
that is to contain the copy (which must not be the file system that
contains the original), you could use dump/restore.  Since the version
of dump that comes with FreeBSD only seems to be willing to dump only
entire file systems, you have to copy the whole thing and delete
the parts you don't like.  If the original and the copy have to be
in the same file system or if you don't have enough free space there
but you do have enough space somewhere else, you can make an intermediate
copy and trim that one down before the final copy.

P.S. The FreeBSD dump/restore commands used to be a little sloppy about
some details such as the owner/modes/times of symbolic links.  I recently
made and tested a dump/restore of a FreeBSD 4.8 root file system and it
looks like those problems have been fixed.

Re: IP Problems

BD   OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger than 
BD what I have found but here goes.  I have a dedicated 5.1 FreeBSD box and 
BD when I did a dmesg I received a repeating message as follows:
BD arplookup 66.246.xx.1 failed: host is not on local network

I've had the same message multiple times when my default route would be equal
to the IP number of an interface of the box on a 4.8-REL box.

For instance:

Interface xl0 has IP address 192.168.2.2/24 configured on it locally
Interface rl0 has IP address 10.0.5.1/24 configured on it locally

The default route of the box is set to 192.168.2.2

This would cause a loop displaying the exact error message on the console, and
the box would become dead slow.

This for me was solved by simply typing:

route delete default

Installing from CD-ROM (was Re: your mail)

 I am unable to install freebsd with the ISOs that were provided on the

 a celeron 1ghz 384MB RAM with a dell bios laptop. I have checked the boot
 sequences and have corrected them so thatg they boot fromt he cd rom.

Most likely you just copied the .iso files to the CD-ROM, instead of
burning them as an image.  You can verify this by checking the contents
of the CDs; if there's only one large file, that's the problem.

How to restore a .iso file to a CD is dependent on your CD-recording
software; for example, with Roxio software on Windows, you should be
able to right-click on the .iso file and choose Record to CD.

Re: FreeBSD as router - performance vs hardware routers

 First, and I know this is off-topic, is anyone here happy with their
 router enough to recommend it? I'd prefer to go with a hardware router,
 but I prize reliability and stability apparently higher than the current
 crop of manufacturers. Even the Cisco SOHO9x/83x series has a bad track
 record, and they are $250/$500 respectively! I'd like to keep it under
 $300, as I can build a mini-ITX box with everything I need for a router
 for about that.

where are you getting these reviews?  the 83x series is a replacement for
the 806 and 827 which is a very solid router that runs the full IOS, not
some stripped version.  the 83x are relatively new devices, so i'm not
sure how they can get a bad track record.  i've read nothing that gives
these devices a poor review.  any problem these devices will have will be
IOS related problems.  i don't see how the hardware can be flaky.

 Also, can a FreeBSD router support things like the Vonage VOIP box (the
 Cisco ATA186)?

doesn't vonage use proprietary tech for their VoIP solutions?  

i dunno, i'm of the school, if you want to get use a router... then buy
just that, a router.

if you have access to someone who is a cisco netacad student, ask them to
purchase a 831 for you.  netacad students have an option for a one time
purchase for one 831 for somewhere around $200-$250.

cvsup problems

2003-08-21 Thread Bsd Neophyte

I've done a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.8 on my Dual p3-700 box.  I've been
having a lot of problems, which i'll outline progressively.  However, at
the moment, I'm having some issues with cvsup.

I've been trying to update my ports and sources and I keep running into
problems.  I've deleted the entire ports-all/ src-all/ and docs-all/
directories and tried to start from scratch, but that didn't resolve
anything.

I get different error messages.  Here's some output of what's going on now
(the first error is VERY common):

---

TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connetion closed
...
Detailer failed: Network write failure: Connection closed
Will retry at 08:14:58

 Josh,
 
 Sorry to bother you, but the $RANDOM symbol returns
 a blank.  Do I need to initialize something?

On bash/zsh $RANDOM returns a random number. On sh
it's apparently undefined. To define it, do
RANDOM=$( perl -e 'srand; print int(rand()*10)%32767' )

 OTOH,
 is there a shell command to extract the day of the
 month from the string returned by 'date'?  I think
 now I'd prefer to do that.

To do that (if you don't have enough files in the directory
it will wrap around), do:

DIR= the directory 
nfiles=$(ls -1 $DIR | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
fileno=$(( ($(date +%d) % $nfiles) + 1)
FILE=$DIR/$(ls -1 $DIR | head -n $fileno | tail -n 1)

(The command is date +%d).

 Thanks.

 To select a random file from the directory, try this:-

 nfiles=$(ls -1 $DIR | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
 fileno=$(( ($RANDOM % $nfiles) + 1 ))
 FILE=$DIR/$(ls -1 $DIR | head -n $fileno | tail -n 1)
 
 # $FILE now contains the full pathname of the file to

 #  mv $FILE /somewhere/else/
 # That way the directory will only contain unused files.
