Re: Where is 4.5, 4.6, etc. on the FTP sites ?
I am not here to go into a lengthy justification as to why I need the older ones (damn, I just knew the answers would all be but why would you not just upgrade) The point is, why are they not on the ftp sites anymore ? I suspect there is no good reason for it at all - just a totally arbitrary decision to remove things that didn't hurt anyone to keep around. I think i am going to go remove all the faucet handles in my bathrooms. Sound strange ?

Re: Is FreeBSD up to this job?
This is just a long shot, but have you had a look at Freevo? www.freevo.org It runs on FreeBSD David Hi gang, I was looking at purchasing a jukebox recently for a poolhall. When all is said and done, I found a refurbished 100 cd jukebox which I thought was really nice, until I heard the price - $4500. This is on par with a lot of older refurbished models, and the price can double for newer ones! So, the gears in my head started turning, and I mentally devised a plan to build my own jukebox that does more then your standard juke for a lot less money. Though I am unfortunately more of a Windows guy, I am thinking of turning to FBSD for this job. My plan is to build a custom jukebox looking enclosure like everyone is used to seeing in bars, poolhalls, etc. In place of the CD changer I'd like to have a full PC (Thinking XP2800, 1GB RAM, 500Gb SATA RAID) built inside, connected to a CD changer that I can control. This way I can offer more then just CDs, but mp3s and videos as well. I'd like to pick up a nice vid card (Say an ATI Radeon 9xxx Pro series with S-Video out) and setup the S-Video side to stream videos/xmms mp3/cd visualizations to 6 TVs spread throughout the place. In place of the normal song selection screen you normally see, I'd like to place a 17 or 19 LCD that only display 4-8 CD covers song lists at a time. Here's what I need to do: *Build a catalog of all music and videos on harddrive and CDs in changer, automatically 1-2 times a day or on demand. *Output video to a monitor which shows only the music list. For CD's/mp3s it will show the CD cover and a songlist. Typical jukebox style with CD's being numbered as well as song (EG. say NOFX's War on Errorism is listed as CD 22 and the song Mattersville is track 12, they'd enter 2212 as the song request). Show anywhere from 4-8 CD's and song info at a time (depending on screen size) *Interface with several buttons to control display. A set of NEXT PREV buttons which flip through the virtual catalog, and another set entitled Music and Videos which switch display *When pressing the Videos button, I'd like to be able to see the screen switch to a similar style as the above, only showing a screenshot of the video, artist name, song title, and album. *Tell FBSD to listen to a bill validator (http://www.videocan.com/bill_validator.html - currently waiting for info from them about interface) for credit inputs, and display it as an overlay on the screen (Let's say $1 buys 3 songs or 2 videos - display would show that) *Once it's determined that there's credits in the machine have FBSD listen to a keypad (telephone pad style) for input in the style of , first 2 being album number, second 2 track number. *Queue up and keep track of songs to play. mp3s/CDs will launch a visualization studio to display the music vis to the TVs, or launch videos to play on TVs. *When there's no activity, it will enter a screensaver mode where it changes screens on monitor. Stuff I'm thinking about adding but isn't necessary - search function, user inserted CDs (which lock CDtray until song/cd is through playing). Although I'm fairly certain FBSD can handle this, I wanted to ask the experts, to see if I'm right. I'm hoping to have a real easy to operate jukebox, so I don't want to have to many buttons, keyboards, etc there to confuse people. And if at all possible, I don't want to make mention that I'm using FBSD/PC hardware/etc inside (well, except for some powered by FreeBSD stickers on the back hehe). Let me know your thoughts! If I go forward with this, it's at least 2 years away, but I think the idea is fairly sound.

remote administration of upgrades
Hello, I am concerned about the recent ssh and sendmail security bulletins and would like to patch, but I have a few questions. The server that I administer runs FreeBSD 4.8, and I only have ssh access to it, not physical console access. Additionally, it's a production web server and so it would be nice if upgrades went off with as little disruption as possible. Anyway, I used cvsup to grab the RELENG_4_8 sources with the fixes. I'm now faced with the choice of doing make world (which I have never done) or just recompiling ssh and sendmail and installing them only. - All of the instructions for make world that I've read involve shutting down into single-user mode, am I corrent that this is not possible over ssh? Is there a way to accomplish the install step remotely? I have already recompiled and successfully installed a customized kernel remotely, and that was gut-wrenching enough waiting the minute or so while it rebooted with fingers crossed. :-) - Assuming that is not possible, I will just recompile the individual parts, following the instructions in the bulletin. However, I still don't want to fubar sshd and then not be able to connect to fix it. When I run kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid` will that kill only the listening daemon (leaving any already-established sessions open) or will it kill all connections and everything related to sshd? I was hoping that I could kill just the listening sshd, restart the new one, and test it by connecting, all without severing the old known working connections... at least I'd have an out if something went wrong. And likewise, if I wanted to restart sshd (for example, after changing the config file) can I safely kill the sshd.pid process without killing the current sessions, just in case restarting sshd doesn't work?

Cat a directory
I've noticed along time that it's possible to cat a directory. I just don't see the point of it being possible to do so since it only returns jibrish. I know that in Linux for example cat returns an error message like this: cat: mail/: Is a directory. I also noticed that in both FreeBSD and Linux less returns the same error message. But vi and vim on the other hand returns fully readable and understandable text in both FreeBSD and Linux. What I just wanted to ask was if it's absolutely necessary for cat to be able to work on directories. Or if it would be possible to simply add a check to cat that tests if the file being opened is a directory and then exits with an error message if that is the case. The biggest problem for me as a Unix help-person at a company is to always explain to newbies and less experienced users not to cat directories as it usually scrambles or locks the whole terminal and as they then turn to me to undo their mistakes. These small simple things give our users bad thoughts about FreeBSD and often drives them to use other OSs! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Closed ports (services)
Hi there, I had a question... I was running DAYTIME (port 13) and POP3 (port 110 - Qpopper) services with no problems up until lastnight. For some reason I think the SA-03:11 (sendmail) and SA-03:12 (SSH) patches I installed have done something to those ports. If I do a 'netstat -an' it'll show that those ports are listening, but when I try to telnet to them remotely I get a connection refused message for the POP3/Qpopper port, but a timeout error with the daytime port. I do get a connection when I telnet to localhost of those two ports. I have a firewall that allows connections to those two ports but I haven't touched the config for that in a while. I did notice that I got an error while applying the SA-03:11 (Sendmail) patch. I couldn't completely install it. Do you think that might have something to do with my problem?? Any ideas???

Re: Partitioning advice (/usr and /home)

Then again, 35GB for /home seems just as unrealistically much. Backup matters aside, is there a significant advantage of having a separate /home partition at all? If not, just skipping /home and using 70GB for /usr (including /usr/home) might be the most practical and flexible approach? Thanks.

Install Problems
My actual computer, an AMD Duron is actually split on three OS: Windows XP, Mandrake Linux, Slackware Linux I want to check the FREE BSD 5.1 on it but, before, I tested it on my old PC - That is a Pentium based P133, 16 Mo memory, 3 G dd, Windows 95 I firstly gave all the disk to BSD and starting the install. You mention that you need at least 5 Mo for install and 4 Mo to work. It could be in theory. With my 16 Mo after some 17 hours I gave up. The font75DPI package is one that never lasts. So I decided to make a compatibilty test with Windows 95. I made a new partitioning, some 800 Mo for Win95, the rest for BSD.I installed Win95 I choosed a minimum install, I was trapped choosing Linux applications, quite long, ending with an error. I re-started, avoiding Linux appli. Install operated in a reasonable short time. -- But, my actual problem is: After install and rebooting I could'nt access BSD neither Windows. I tried, after reinstalling Win, all the modes of booting. MBR, does'nt work in neither OS No change of boot area: freeze all systems, a message displayed : error in intializing OS. The best results: SBR. It displays on booting F1 Dos, F2 BSD But function keys F1 and F2 are simply screaming and do'nt have any effect. Frozen. I'm working with an AZERTY keyboard. That's my real problem, the long install pb is obviously due to memory size. And second question: Why Install does'nt make an emergency diskette boot facility ? You have BSD installed, no way to make it work because a BSD problem.

BSD graphic interface
Hello all, I'm interested in playing around with some graphics programming in FreeBSD but not under XFree86. Are there any graphics interfaces/APIs for the console?

RE: randomize execution the a script?
I don't happen to have random installed on my system, however jot is It's in /usr/games/random of FreeBSD 4.8. Won't randomNumber=$? Just return 0 if the previous command completes successfully? Shouldn't it be: randomNumber=`random -e 60` No. In 'man 6 random', it says: random [-er] [-f filename] [denominator] -e If the -e option is specified, random does not read or write any- thing, and simply exits with a random exit value of 0 to denominator - 1, inclusive. So you must capture its exit value for the random number :). Good enough!

XFree86 -- Gamma Correction
Hello, all, I successfully managed to install the FreeBSD nVidia video drivers, but ran into a problem that is apparently X related: How does one tune the gamma correction? man XFree86 suggests the command line option -gamma value, where value is a number between 0.1 and 10.0, 1.0 being the default. I tried to start X with startx -gamma 2.0, but right after displaying the nVidia logo, X drops back to the command line. The error message says, /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm: bad command line option '-gamma'. The XFree86 version is 4.3.0 (compiled from ports). What am I doing wrong, and where would I look for more information? Also, if a working option can be found, is there a place where I can put this so that it is automatically used and I don't have to type it in manually every time X is started?

Boot loader configuration for FreeBSD 5.1
Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 /dev/hda3 on my computer. I also have linux installed on /dev/hda1 partition While installing FreeBsd, I chose 'leave MBR untouched' option, and configured Lilo boot loader to boot into /dev/hda3 for FreeBSD. When I select FreeBSD, it shows me the FreeBSD boot prompt which gives me options like 1. Boot FreeBSD [default] 2. Boot with ACPI disabled ... and so on I am facing a problem, sometimes when I press 2 for booting with ACPI disabled, the system just hangs. The console freezes and even pressing 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' doesnt do anything. I simply have to hardboot. This happens inconsistently .. say about 3 times out of 5. How can I prevent this Also, How can I change my default boot option in my FreeBSD boot loader to boot into option 2-Boot with ACPI disabled? Any kind of information would help.

upgrading libssh and rtld
hi, with respect to upgrading openssh on various boxes, i note that the advisory[0] details killing and restarting sshd in order to bring the new one into play. the base sshd is dynamically linked against libssh, the version of which doesn't appear to change over the upgrade. my question is this: does the rtld notice the change in library and reload it, or will it re-use the pre-upgrade one already in memory? the latter suggests only a reboot will bring the new library into play, especially if the work is being carried out over ssh, and so keeping an sshd in play at all times. i can't see any stuff in the rtld-elf source to suggest that it'll notice a change in library files, but my understanding of the linker is pretty flimsy. regards, l.

Assuming it supports APM, sure. OK, I just checked the BIOS, and it does have Power Management support, and when I boot, I also see 'ACPI function enable' in the post msgs. I realize that ACPI is not supported in FBSD 5.x. I'm running 4.8-p4. I've never used Power Management on any of my computers, so this is new territory for me. I would assume that I need to set Power Management to 'enabled' in BIOS, or no? If yes, (and I realize you can't know my other PM options) should the defaults be OK? Any particular option that you know of that I should pay special attention to?

Is a make clean required before the depend? The patches (eg. ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer46.patch) as described in the advisory are intended to be the minimum required in order to fix the vulnerability. That's done so that the same patches can be applied to as many different versions of FreeBSD as possible. Consequently, they don't modify the version numbers either in the $FreeBSD$ CVS tags or of OpenSSH it self (in src/crypto/openssh/version.h). You can tell that just be a simple eyeball inspection of the patch. This is generally the case with security advisories, as a) it's part of the modu operandi of the x.y-RELEASE branches and b) time being of the essence, the smaller the number of patches that have to be developed and tested, the better. However, it's not an absolute rule: some security advisories have resulted in version number bumps on some of the branches. If you want to pull down sources with all of the latest version numbers, use cvsup(1), ie. Option 1) in the Solution section of the advisory. However, you probably have succeeded in patching your system and are now not vulnerable, although there's no way to tell that remotely other than by trying to exploit the bug.

Re: remote administration of upgrades

I'm now faced with the choice of doing make world (which I have never done) or just recompiling ssh and sendmail and installing them only. Unless you have remote console access to your machine, you would be well advised to just reinstall those parts of the system as detailed in the security advisories. If you need remote console access, the cheapest way to do it is via a null-modem serial cable link from a neighbouring machine at your hosting center. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html - All of the instructions for make world that I've read involve shutting down into single-user mode, am I corrent that this is not possible over ssh? Is there a way to accomplish the install step remotely? I have already recompiled and successfully installed a customized kernel remotely, and that was gut-wrenching enough waiting the minute or so while it rebooted with fingers crossed. :-) It depends how risk averse you are. Shutting down all of the servers (except sshd, of course) and kicking off any other users is *almost* as good as taking the system down to single user mode, and 99 times out of 100 you can successfully run 'make installworld' from that state, and then do all of the other stuff required to update the system before rebooting. However, avoiding program crashes and so forth is not actually the principal problem that rebooting to single user mode helps you avoid. Rebooting into single user mode lets you test that your newly compiled kernel actually works before you go ahead an install the matching world. Should your kernel not boot up, it is possible to back out to the previous kernel from the boot loader screen. Backing out an installworld like that is basically impossible. - Assuming that is not possible, I will just recompile the individual parts, following the instructions in the bulletin. However, I still don't want to fubar sshd and then not be able to connect to fix it. When I run kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid` will that kill only the listening daemon (leaving any already-established sessions open) or will it kill all connections and everything related to sshd? I was hoping that I could kill just the listening sshd, restart the new one, and test it by connecting, all without severing the old known working connections... at least I'd have an out if something went wrong. And likewise, if I wanted to restart sshd (for example, after changing the config file) can I safely kill the sshd.pid process without killing the current sessions, just in case restarting sshd doesn't work? Yes, absolutely. A 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`' will restart the main instance of sshd(8), whilst leaving any sshd's forked to manage login sessions alone. You should test that you can login remotely to the updated sshd from a second window before you log out of the first session.

Basic printer setup (repost)
I sent this yesterday, but it seems not to have gone through--apologies if it's a duplicate. I've never gotten around to setting up printing from my FreeBSD machine--the discussion in the Handbook is rather frightening--and now that I've decided I should probably give it a try, I find that the Handbook doesn't even let me get started. I have two situations for this computer (a laptop running FreeBSD-4.8). I have a home network that has an older (non-Ethernetted) HP LaserJet 6MP; this is attached to the network via an AsanteTalk AppleTalk- Ethernet bridge. The Macs on the network (OSX and 8.6) can all see the printer. What do I need to do to print to this printer from my FreeBSD machine when it's on the network? In the second case, I just have a desktop printer-- some HP Deskjet color thing, the 990 I think--that only has a USB connection. The Handbook doesn't mention USB printing at all. In both cases I'm not looking to do anything fancy, none of this user-accounting or header-pages stuff. I just want to be able to send jobs to the printer and have them come out. I guess I'd also be curious how to select one or the other, or more if they were added to the network. Thanks for any pointers on how to accomplish this.

Hmmm... good question. As far as I can tell from the rtld-elf sources, the runtime loader follows the usual unix paradigm of open(2) followed by mmap(2) of the shared libraries in question. ld-elf.so.1 is invoked anew for every dynamically linked process that gets exec(3)'d. That means that any program started after the shared library has been updated will mmap(2) the latest version. Processes already running end up with a file descriptor on the old version, although there's no way to access that data from the filesystem. (This is similar to a cunning bit of Unix trickery, where a file is open(2)'d and then unlink(2)'d, often used to provide temporary filespace that's absolutely private to the process.) So, yes, restarting sshd(8) after applying the patches, recompiling and re-installing will nullify the vulnerability.

version string scare with new patched ssh (newbie)
Hi, I have a 4.5-RELEASE system with the original, stock /usr/src/secure.

Re: Cat a directory
In the last episode (Sep 18), Karlsson Mikael HKI/SOSV said: What I just wanted to ask was if it's absolutely necessary for cat to be able to work on directories. Or if it would be possible to simply add a check to cat that tests if the file being opened is a directory and then exits with an error message if that is the case. The source is in /usr/src/bin/cat; add some code to stat the file and fail if it's a directory. The biggest problem for me as a Unix help-person at a company is to always explain to newbies and less experienced users not to cat directories as it usually scrambles or locks the whole terminal and as they then turn to me to undo their mistakes. These small simple things give our users bad thoughts about FreeBSD and often drives them to use other OSs! I find that hard to believe. Do you also want to block catting of executables, gzipped files, jpeg files, database files, and audio files? No OS does that by default. Maybe you should teach them how to reset their terminals when they cat binary data; ^Jreset^J should work, assuming your TERM variable is set right. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Upgrading OpenSSH ...
Hi, II am trying to upgrade OpenSSH whihc is default in freeBSD . I am trying it using /usr/ports/security/openssh all the installation went good way . I rebooted my system to the frsh installation of SSH to come into action ,But when i gave #ssh -V it showed me the same old version Any solution about how to go about the upgradation will be appreciated . I think you were using the base system's ssh installation before (which is located in /usr ). When you installed the OpenSSH port, you got a second installation in /usr/local. Please use `which ssh' and `which sshd' in order to confirm this assumption. If it is true, then you have the following options: 1. Switch to the ports ssh - since you already installed the port, you only need to remove your ssh stuff in /usr, e.g. /usr/bin/ssh, /usr/sbin/sshd, (kill the sshd before deleting it, but this will only work if you are not currently logged in via ssh :-)... Additionally, you have to tell the system to use the sshd in /usr/local, so you should add the following line to /etc/rc.conf sshd_program=/usr/local/sbin/sshd In order to preserve your settings from the base system, you should carefully merge the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssh with your old ones in /etc/ssh. You should also put NO_OPENSSH=true into /etc/make.conf in order to exclude OpenSSH from the following buildworlds. 2. Patch your base system's ssh as described here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:12.openssh.asc You should also delete the port in order to prevent future confusion 3. Delete the ssh port, and re-install it with PREFIX=/usr. This will overwrite your base system's ssh, but I don't know whether this solution is supported, and I don't think that it is the cleanest one... NO_OPENSSH=true in make.conf is of course also required. I'd recommend to employ either option 1 or 2. Regards, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

From that you should be able to identify the applications that are the source of your problems. You're probably better off directing specific questions at support mailing lists for the DB in question. jan PS. If the DB in question is postgresql, you may find that complex query performance is highly erratic due to the genetic planner kicking in.

Network Problem on FreeBSD-4.8 : Cannot ping LAN hosts
Hi, I've stumbling with all the mailing lists about this problem and I hope somebody will give a kind advise. Here's my LAN setup: | | || | WinXP1 WinXP2 WinXP3 WinXP4 FreeBSD WinXP3 is my Internet Sharing Machine connected to my ISP. I can browse the web using all the WinXPs but I cannot access the web via FreeBSD. FreeBSD's IP address follows the 192.198.0.x format just like the other WinXPs. When I check the FreeBSD, i can see its IP address and Subnet Mask etc via ifconfig. I can even change the IP address+ Gateway (which is WinXP2's IP add) using ifconfig or /stand/sysinstall. I even manually edited rc.conf, and even changed the setting to DHCP etc etc etc. My diagnosis tells that I cannot ping any WinXP machine in the LAN. But I can ping myself (FreeBSD) locally. When I run netstat -rn, It seems the network card is ok. When I run tcpdump, I didn't show any output. By the way, this network card is CNet PRO200. I was thinking it was not recognize or supported by the FreeBSD-4.8. When I checked FreeBSD-4.8's Hardware Compatibility Lit, I didn't see any CNet PRO200 but I saw a CNet/PRO which I suppose are just the same. So, I recompiled my Kernel again just in case FreeBSD didn't recognize this newly installed Cnet LAN card. But, nothing changed after Kernel recompilation. (But I did not change any option in the Generic kernel; just re-compiled it). The output when I ping WinXP3: ping: sendto: Host is down. It's not true coz Im typing this email right in the WinXP3 machine. I cannot also ping FreeBSD's IP add from the WinXP internet sharing server. The dmesg shows the following: pci0 unknown card (vendor=0x1106 dev=0x3059) at 17.5 irq 5. By the way, this machine where FreeBSD is installed also has WinXP which works fine when in Windows. So Im sure my LAN card is really ok. It's only a problem of FreeBSD. What should I do? I don't want to make FreeBSD machine as my Internet sharing server as of now (although its the best option).

AlphaStation 200/4
Hello All, I am still not understanding the problem I am encountering while installing FreeBSD 5.1 on my AlphaStation 200/4. I have tried both the SRM version 7.0 and 6.5 firmware but have yet to succeed in seeing the Configuration GUI. When I boot the CDROM image, the boot process looks normal, OSF Pal successful, kernel begins loading, looks like a disk probe is running, and then I get the prompt to Hit Enter or wait the 10 seconds for the autoboot, the machine starts booting, I then get a CPU halt with an Error Code = 5, and then the processor reboots and I begin the same process over and over again. I have tried to find an explanation of why this might be happening through the documentation and other mailing list but I can not seem to find any specific information regarding this behavior. Any and ALL help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss. Thanks.

CVS tag blocks repository access
Help I 'accidently' created a numeric tag in CVS by using: cvs commit -r2.0 file This would, according to the man page, set my revision to 2.0, but it also created a sticky tag with that name. Now I cannot check in anything any more. Removing the tag with cvs tag -d or cvs rtag -d fails: tag `2.0' must start with a letter Does anyone know a clean way out of this?

Re: How DBA solved overload problem ?
As a newly DBA, I really don't know how I deal with this problem. My problem is not so long ago, my database server seem to overloaded. It take me a time to find the cause of problem. I realize that some program don't queried wiht inappropriated SQL statement. I mean they're not efficient one. AS DBA how do you solved this problem? In PostgreSQL, I flip on the following settings and then periodically scan PostgreSQL's the log file (/var/log/pgsql): log_duration = true log_pid = true log_statement = true log_timestamp = true It's tedious, but with grep on your side, it's not an impossible task or even a super hard one... just a bit tedious if you don't keep up with your developers. I've found doing this on the devel machines produces better bang for the buck than on the production DB's (though I still do it there occasionally). Once a query is found, I typically launch a big 'ole fashion egrep -r with a reasonably unique part of the query and am normally pretty successful in finding the culprit. Sometimes you'll have to use sockstat to find what machine and what PID you're dealing with, but that's something I have to do rarely. -sc PS Don't spam so many lists in the future, just -databases or just -questions would've been sufficient (the more topical the list the better). -- Sean Chittenden ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Request
I know this is a weird request, but i'm desperate here. My husband is stationed in Iraq. His access to websites is VERY limited. He can get to freebsd.org but cannot get to our home page which has pictures of his son (he last saw his son when he was 6mo old). the site is www.treece.org/sean to prove that I'm telling the truth here. I need to know if there is ANY way that you will let me send you a picture of my son to post to ANYWHERE on your site so that my husband can see what he looks like now (Sean turns 1 on the 27th). I would love to be able to keep him up to date w/pictures more so than right now. I try to email them to him, but it's very unreliable and half the time email is down for them. I apologize that this has nothing to do with FreeBSD (my husband is the Linux/Unix guru in the family). Please let me know. I can always try cnn.com too. He can get to their site also.

svgalib program is setuid root but still can't seem to allocate graphics console
Hi, I'm trying to write some code that uses /usr/ports/graphics/svgalib. I've started off with the first example program on: http://www.svgalib.org/jay/beginners_guide/beginners_guide.html As root, I can compile and run it fine, and I get the message: [svgalib: allocated virtual console #10] And if I try to run it as a normal user, I get: svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. This is expected, because the program is not setuid root. So as root I chmod u+s it, but then when I run it as a normal user I get: You must be the owner of the current console to use svgalib.

device drivers
I hope this is the right list, I have a nforce 2 board and have drivers that aren't working. I read the nforce was based ond the amd chipset so I tried to use /sys/pci/agp_amd.c as a blueprint and modified it according to the data in /src/pci/agp_nvidia.c. I am maybe half done and learned enough to know not to expect this thing to work. I would like some more documentation and help if aviliable. I read the developers and architecure handbooka and a few examples on the web. I know enough to be dangerous, I have been told. I would like to write a driver that comforms to all the new standards like newbus(does this apply for agp?), avoiding GAINT(I need more info on this),smp(since nvidia likes a universal driver architecure this would be helpfull for the nforce 3 and opteron), etc... I have been getting some tech support from Mathew Dodd on the questions lets where I was just tring to get 3d working with a non-nvidia card. It seems I am the only one with a nf2 mobo and and ati video card who wants to do some gaming and can't. He added agp_nvidia.c to freebsd and I think ether he gave up on me, or the driver does not work and he gave up on it. So I am back to tring to write a driver myself. I emailed nvidia a couple of times for documentation and the only response I ever got was an automated conformation. Big help they were, but if any else here has their ear maybe they could inquire?

Use that as a starting point. Revert back to the cofiguration that worked, and we'll add a firewall. With option 1, your box is not a gateway. However, if you use the box as a gateway later, you will need NAT. If you are using pppd, you'll need to implement NAT in the firewall. In that case, you'll need the IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT options. If you have already recompiled with them, don't change that. They won't hurt you now and you'll need them later. You also need options IPFIREWALL for any of the three options. Now that's interesting. I did indeed read that in FreeBSD Unleashed, but The Complete FreeBSD says If you wish you can build a kernel with firewall support...but you don't need to build a new kernel. You can load the KLD /boot/kernel/ipfw.ko instead: #kldload ipfw So I tried that, and it told me it was already loaded. What did kldstat return? Lehey can do lots of things with FBSD that I don't know how to do. I've never tried loading IPFW as a dynamic module. I've seen posts from people who've tried it and had problems. Your milage will vary. My belief is that you connect to the internet often enough that you don't gain anything by using a dynamic module. You might as well load IPFW at bootup. OK, that part I knew, but what setting should I use? Just leave it blank? When I try ifconfig -a it always gives me an address in the format 168.95.xx.xx where x can be any number.
