Depending on your browser you can even omit ratpoison and just start the browser as the xsession (should have tabbed browsing then). In effect you get a fullscreen browser with your app as homepage. More browser windows can be openend and switched between them with free configurable shortcuts (i recommend alt+tab).

routing problems (experience needed)
Hi, I am trying to substitute our school's old Win NT4 Server by a SAMBA/FreeBSD.

This is our network design: Internet ^ | ___+_ | DSL Router| 172.16.2.254 ---+- | ___+ | Switch +--+ -+-+-+-+-+-- | _ | | | | |+---+ | PROXY FBSD|--+ | | | || 172.16.2.1 -| | | | +_ 172.16.2.11 | | | +-| SAMBA PDC| | NT4 PDC| | | | ------+-- | | | 172.16.2.253 | | | | 172.16.1.1 different subnets: | 172.16.3. | 172.16.4. | 172.16.5. 172.16.2. etc. subnet (with routers and (with switches) switches) As I said: connections between the different subnets break as soon as the NT4 Server is plugged off. What can be done: 1) Change all machines to mask 255.255.0.0 - or would this end up in bad perfomance? (We have about 35 workstations all over the house and the number is growing) 2) Set up some kind of router (we have got some old P75 left)? 3) Something completely different?

I've tried using xhost sgk@, but this doesn't work.
The only thing I can think of that may need to be
configured is PAM, but the documentation is rather
incomplete. So, anyone know how to setup su to
permit sgk to use X clients?
As user kargl:
% xauth nextract /tmp/foo ${DISPLAY}
As user sgk:
% xauth nmerge /tmp/foo
and remember to delete /tmp/foo as soon as possible.
I still get the above results with gnuplot after issuing the
two xauth commands you give above. If I use xauth list
with as both users the entry for $DISPLAY shows the same key.

troutmask:kargl[245] xauth list
troutmask.apl.washington.edu:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 some_long_string
I suspect that I need to add something to /etc/pam.d/{su,system,xserver},
but I can't locate adequate documentation.
If all your X sessions are local to you machine (and possibly even if
they aren't), then try setting the DISPLAY variable to :0.0 -- you'll
need to repeat the fun'n'games with xauth to match the new $DISPLAY
setting.
That means that all connections to the X server will take place via
the unix domain socket in /tmp/.X11-unix/ rather than through network
sockets. This is generally a good move as the default in FreeBSD
nowadays is for the X server not to listen on the network at all.
You can check if your X server is listening on the net by running:
% netstat -an | grep '\.60[0-6][0-9] '
On a system using the default settings, there won't be any output from
that command. Ports 6000 -- 6063 are allocated to the X window
system, although generally only the bottom one or two of that range
would ever be used on most personal machines. Note that port 6010 or
above is generally ssh(1), rather than the X server directly. ssh(1)
is also the answer to being able to run X clients remotely without
having the X server listening directly on the network, incidentally
having the very welcome benefit of encrypting all of the X network
traffic.

Matthew

Kde tries to mount the floppy on clicking on the item. That is going to fail, because without a floppy in the drive there is no device in the device filesystem. Can't think why that should work with linux. Of course, but if you *then* insert a floppy and try to mount it, that should work. He's saying it doesn't.

Packet loss problem
Hi, I've got a rather strange issue with UDP loss (at least I think it is) on my network, and frankly - I'm not sure it's me (think it might be the upstream providers stuff). Basically, the situation is this, FreeBSD 4.8 box connects to the upstream provider, and another one at another location acts as a gateway for the customers. The gateway box has very high 'drops' on it's UDP sockets, making streaming stuff awful - and output of netstat -s (UDP,TCP IP only) on the gateway box is shown at the end of this post. My particular concern is these lines in the UDP output 41738 datagrams received / 33104 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket which seems an inordinatly high amount. There are no drops due to full socket buffers, although I have recompiled the kernel with nmbclusters=8192 and Maxusers=1024 (to increase number of available sockets - kern.ipc.maxsockets to 9391), still the loss occurs. Any suggestions, and could someone explicitly explain what broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket means. Many Thanks Colin. --- Output of netstat -s on Gateway Box - tcp: 40102 packets sent 14837 data packets (1080215 bytes) 23 data packets (29468 bytes) retransmitted 0 resends initiated by MTU discovery 17949 ack-only packets (669 delayed) 0 URG only packets 0 window probe packets 6924 window update packets 370 control packets 46602 packets received 10485 acks (for 1080288 bytes) 227 duplicate acks 0 acks for unsent data 31029 packets (31656794 bytes) received in-sequence 132 completely duplicate packets (177030 bytes) 0 old duplicate packets 9 packets with some dup. data (3920 bytes duped) 7375 out-of-order packets (9107920 bytes) 0 packets (0 bytes) of data after window 0 window probes 11 window update packets 0 packets received after close 0 discarded for bad checksums 0 discarded for bad header offset fields 0 discarded because packet too short 182 connection requests 14 connection accepts 0 bad connection attempts 0 listen queue overflows 190 connections established (including accepts) 258 connections closed (including 1 drop) 19 connections updated cached RTT on close 19 connections updated cached RTT variance on close 9 connections updated cached ssthresh on close 5 embryonic connections dropped 9539 segments updated rtt (of 9546 attempts) 9 retransmit timeouts 0 connections dropped by rexmit timeout 0 persist timeouts 0 connections dropped by persist timeout 0 keepalive timeouts 0 keepalive probes sent 0 connections dropped by keepalive 1 correct ACK header prediction 27603 correct data packet header predictions 15 syncache entries added 1 retransmitted 0 dupsyn 0 dropped 14 completed 0 bucket overflow 0 cache overflow 1 reset 0 stale 0 aborted 0 badack 0 unreach 0 zone failures 0 cookies sent 0 cookies received udp: 41738 datagrams received 0 with incomplete header 0 with bad data length field 0 with bad checksum 0 with no checksum 8443 dropped due to no socket 33104 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket -- My Particular Concern 0 dropped due to full socket buffers 0 not for hashed pcb 191 delivered 254 datagrams output ip: 28432403 total packets received 9 bad header checksums 0 with size smaller than minimum 211 with data size data length 0 with ip length max ip packet size 0 with header length data size 0 with data length header length 0 with bad options 0 with incorrect version number 2585861 fragments received 0 fragments dropped (dup or out of space) 57 fragments dropped after timeout 1292902 packets reassembled ok 9414002 packets for this host 2 packets for unknown/unsupported protocol 17696404 packets forwarded (0 packets fast forwarded) 16337 packets not forwardable 0 packets received for unknown multicast group 0 redirects sent 15047419 packets sent from this host 0 packets sent with fabricated ip header 0 output packets dropped due to no bufs, etc.

Re: Sending bug reports
Hi, I have tried to install FreeBSD 5.0 (non-stable release) and have experienced some problems. I would like to know where I can post these bugs and problems, so you can figure out what's going wrong. It would be a great pleasure for me to contribute to your problem. [...] FreeBSD uses GNATs for problem reports (PRs). You can find a description here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/ Also the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list is a good place to ask those questions (perhaps it's the best to ask there first and file a PR in coordination with the list). I'd recommend to consider the following alternatives before taken any further action: - Unless you need any of the new features in FreeBSD 5.x switch back to FreeBSD 4.x (either 4.8 or 4.9 if you can wait approximately until 29 Sep 2003 (but installing 4.8 now and updating it to -STABLE or the next release should work without a hassle)) - If you decide to stay with 5.x use 5.1 instead of 5.0 since it contains lots of bug fixes. IMO 5.1 is the least version you should use if you report any bugs on the 5.x branch, although you might even want to upgrade to -CURRENT and see if your problems are fixed).

Hope that works. Nope, I've tried that and a ton of other options. I've looked into that can't read old UFS1 superblock error but its not actually trying to write UFS1, it looks like (someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) that its trying to zero out the old UFS1 blocks so older versions of fsck don't mistaken the filesystem for UFS1, try and repair it, and therefore break it. I think it errors out for the same reason, it can't access the drive like the second error. For kick's (like i said i've tried alot of things) i took out that part of the code, planning on just being careful :), and that error went away but i still got the read error from superblock device: Invalid arguement. Someone else commented there should be a -v, but the option seems to have been removed in 5.1 (5.x?), newfs can figure it out without being told, and does work fine with vinum when its not more than a terabyte. shawn. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

triple NIC route challenge
(Please respond directly, as I am not on this list.) I have 3 NICs in a single machine. Shaped something like this: |---| ISP1 ---|DHCP | | |-- Internal Network ISP2 ---|PPPoE | |---| ISP2 is the new thing. Currently, all my traffic goes out to ISP1 thanks to the same old ipnat rule. If I set up a route for a range of addresses, they will take ISP2 out and be very happy. The problem is inbound. When I ping via ISP1 it works beautifully. But when I ping via ISP2, I don't get a response. I believe the echorep packet is lost because it is being routed according to the existing rules which don't give the machine a clue about ISP2. If I add a route to the pinging host which uses ISP2, then the pinging starts working there, but you guessed it, the ping via ISP1 stops working. - How can I have the outbound route setup based upon the inbound request? - Furthermore, how can I have that new route only affect that connection? Bonus Question: - How do I configure ipnat such that outbound traffic from my Internal Network is split between the two external interfaces? Yes, I know I can route it based on the origin machine on the Internal Network, and I know that I can set up the rules such that all traffic goes to a single external interface and when that interface is down, it will fail over to the secondary. What I want is outbound load balancing with failover capability.

You don't make it clear eactly what sort of dictionary you require -- if it's a reference dictionary, your best bet is to find a suitable web site (or a book shop). On the other hand, if you want a localised spell-check, then: The ispell port (textproc/ispell) can be compiled with support for: Afrikaans British English (replaces default American English) Brazilian Portuguese Dutch Danish Finnish French German (old spelling) German (new spelling) Italian Polish Swedish Norwegian There's also separate textproc/ua-ispell, hungarian/ispell and russian/rus-ispell ports. Then there's a similar program 'aspell' which supports even more languages, including Greek, Romanian, Welsh, Faroese, Esperanto... which is meant to supercede ispell but doesn't have exactly the same functionality yet.

Re: VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec
I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. kldload snd_pcm will probably work. If it says the file exist, it's alread in the kernel. In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still. You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org Setting Up the Sound Card. I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need. It was probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need. --Will On 09/06/03 04:42:51, Timur wrote: On Sat, Sep 06, 2003 at 01:14:12PM +0200, Hendrik Hasenbein wrote: Timur wrote: Hi!

RE: Error with daemon natd
You have done everything right as far as the gateway goes. The problem is the win boxes on the LAN do not know the DNS server of your ISP. You have to configure the win box start/control panel/network and hard code the ip address of your isp DSN server and the 10.0.0.2 as the gateway. If you are going to have a lot of win boxes on your lan then you would want to install DHCP server on your gateway box so all your lan win boxes can get the info they need to access the public internet through your gateway. For your info the firewall_type=open is not really providing any protection at all. It lets everything in and out. You need to create your own set of ipfw firewall rules which you design to protect your environment. Here is mine for you to use as sample ### # # Define IPFW firewall rules for gateway.xx.com # 5/25/2002 # # Cable modem connection to ISP with dynamic IP addresses assigned. # User ppp tun1 dial in to this box with dynamic IP addresses assigned # User ppp tun2 dial in to this box with dynamic IP addresses assigned # IPFW divert natd command used for nat.

Playing audio cd while using atapicam (4.8R)
I have an ATAPI CD writer that I have on /dev/cd0c via atapicam. It works fine for regular data use, but I can't seem to play an audio cd with it. I have tried both xmcd and KsCD under KDE. In both, the device used is the raw device /dev/rcd0c which has the same permissions and ownership as the regular /dev/cd0c device. With xmcd, the audio cd is at least recognized as the correct artist and album name is displayed, but it will not play. Under KsCD, the cd information is not displayed, but it will at least let me push play. The only problem is that the counter stays at 00:00 and no audio comes out. Is there some other procedure that I need to do first to enable the playing of audio cd? I thought about maybe adding /dev/rcd0c to the fstab file, but I don't know if that is the way to go about it.

In both, the device used is the raw device /dev/rcd0c which has the same permissions and ownership as the regular /dev/cd0c device. With xmcd, the audio cd is at least recognized as the correct artist and album name is displayed, but it will not play. Under KsCD, the cd information is not displayed, but it will at least let me push play. The only problem is that the counter stays at 00:00 and no audio comes out. Is there some other procedure that I need to do first to enable the playing of audio cd? I thought about maybe adding /dev/rcd0c to the fstab file, but I don't know if that is the way to go about it. Thank you for any assistance.

Well, I just deleted all of /usr/src and not just /usr/src/sys and reinstalled it and now everything works fine again.

Re: PAM, X11, and su as a normal user?
On Sat, Sep 06, 2003 at 08:11:21AM -0700 I heard the voice of Steven G. Kargl, and lo! it spake thus: Thanks for the hint. I took the rather draconian action of deleting user sgk's .Xauthority file. Then I used xauth to merge in user kargl's entire .Xauthority. This appears to work only if I use su -l sgk. I guess I'm inheriting something in the environment that X doesn't lik when I use su sgk. FWIW, I just plain 'su' to root (toor, rather, but that's not relevant) and use a one-off script to merge keys for running X apps: root% cat /root/xauthset #!/bin/sh xauth -f /home/fullermd/.Xauthority extract - $DISPLAY | xauth merge - Never had any problems out of it. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks anyway... Rommel B. Ikeda OISCA-International http://www.oisca.org/ Looks like you don't have /etc/resolv.conf file.

You are probably told about the nameservers given by DHCP reply packets. O.k., they should work, too. I just received an Email from the Mailing List advicing me to create a /etc/resolv.conf... He was also kind enough to provide me our DNS... domain oisca.org nameserver 164.46.1.1 nameserver 211.10.162.68 I created a /etc/resolv.conf with this one as what you have suggested When my system starts: The booting process halts for a few minutes saying continuing vi sessions: and then boots and starts gdm... after gdm starts, I can log in but I can use my built-in mouse... after logging in...it halts for a few minutes before I can use my built-in mouse... I think I forgot to tell you adding, deleting, changing /etc/resolv.conf don't need reinitializing anything other than the file itself so you don't have to reboot... when i invoked this command: # host freebsd.org halts for a few minutes to read and then... #host not found, try again Any suggestions on what happened... Either you can't reach the nameservers or the servers refuse to answer. The resolver (a library function that contacts name servers and maps between domain names and ip addresses) thinks name services are unavailable. Following tests are irrelevant to /etc/resolv.conf file, unless specifically referenced. 1. servers really suck ? host freebsd.org 164.46.1.1 host freebsd.org 211.10.162.68 ask the servers directly. Worked for me, like: % host freebsd.org 164.46.1.1 Using domain server 164.46.1.1: freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.21 freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=10) by mx1.freebsd.org % host freebsd.org 211.10.162.68 Using domain server 211.10.162.68: freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.21 freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=10) by mx1.freebsd.org % Try them, and against the servers you are told. If they work as my example shows, then /etc/resolv.conf is wrong (not too sure, but the domain name may have to match the one from DHCP server). 2. talking to servers ? ping 164.46.1.1 traceroute 164.46.1.1 Two prime candidate reasons you have to come here are: o You don't have default route, o Firewall blocks direct outgoing, Anyway traceroute will tell you where you can get responces up to. horio shoichi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD install corrupts neighboring partitions
I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.8 on a system which will boot it and also Windows 2000 Server. I've done this with two multiboot utilities: the simple boot manager that comes with FreeBSD and V Communications' System Commander. In both cases, I have found that when I install FreeBSD it corrupts neighboring NTFS and FAT partitions. After the install, the OSes in these partitions fail to boot or the partitions become entirely unreadable. Whether I tell FreeBSD not to install an MBR or whether I tell it to install its boot manager, the result is the same: Neighboring partitions are being corrupted to the point where one can not get to data on them. I realize that dual booting is not common, but I need to do it on this laptop.
