Installing KDE-3.1.3 on 5.1-REL

MS Intellimouse and XFree86
Okay, so here's the skinny: I have a 3-button mouse with Z axis (wheel) that behaves as a PS/2 intellimouse. Running moused -f -p /dev/psm0 shows Z axis events reported when I use the wheel. However, in X using /dev/sysmouse as the mouse device, no Z axis events make it through. This is confirmed by running xev(8) and spinning the mousewheel in the window. No events are printed. This seems to me as an error in either the sysmouse driver or in the XFree86 mouse handling of the sysmouse driver, I really can only make wild guesses.. but those seem to me to be reasonable. Does anyone have any thoughts? -Reid ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Re: Cat a directory
On Fri, Sep 19, 2003 at 08:27:00AM +0300, Karlsson Mikael HKI/SOSV typed: OK! I admit that it isn't THE BIGGEST problem for me BUT it is A problem. What I ment in my last mail was that it is the biggest problem concerning cat. Since someone always seems to cat a binary file without having the knowledge of what it causes. So why don't you for example alias cat to cat -v in your system profile and login scripts? This will display non-printing characters so they are visible and don't mangle terminal settings. I personally think that some of these tests should be added to the real distributable version of cat that comes with FreeBSD cause I can't be the only one that this bugs. I mean what could a little more code hurt to the program since cat isn't supposed to read binary files. Why not? I regularly use constructs like this: cat somebackup.tgz | ssh someserver cd /somedir; tar xzf - I could add the code myself to cat's source file and compile it so my users won't be able to cat binary files and stuff like that but what happens to the thousands of other people that is bugged by the same problem, are they supposed to do the same re-coding that I did? Or couldn't this simply be added to the distribution source file so others won't be bugged. Other *NIX systems seem to have done this to their cat program so why can't FreeBSD? and why is this already done to less and not cat? Because less != cat. It has a completely different functionality. Ruben Dan Nelson wrote (18.9.2003 17:33): 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] -- The world is coming to an end.

Good article on using ports at O'Reilly's BSD DevCenter

I always come away with several new pointers when I read one of these articles. If you're new to BSD, the BSD DevCenter is sure to become a frequented spot. Happy Friday, -- Barry C.

The problem you are having is that people are using cat to *display* files. Fixing that problem could break cat for its more standard use: cat binaryfile | filter | etc. Other *NIX systems seem to have done this to their cat program so why can't FreeBSD?

What's the meaning of these arp messages...
Hi, I have a FBSD 4.8 box running Samba in my network. Lately I am noticing some strange messages at the console concerning my firewall. The messages basically say the MAC address of my linux firewall's internal ip address has changed...and 15 minutes later changed again (to the original MAC address)...and so on. The linux firewall is a bastion host with three NICs...are my NICs bad or what? This is coinciding with some not-understood behavior of the firewall. The firewall is Ipcop which worked just fine for us for the past year and a half. Then we upgraded our ISDN connection to business-class cable (2 Mbps down and 512 Up) and I'm losing sleep and hair and we still are enjoying spotty connectivity at the windows clients, but not at the public interface of the firewall itself...I cannot figure out what is going on, and I've posted an ipcop-centric message on their mailing list. But, can anyone figure out what the arp messages are telling me? Thanks, Roy __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

g++ -pedantic errors on include files
On my 5.1-RELEASE system, if I compile a C++ program thus: c++ -O -pipe -march=pentium3 -Wall -W -Wno-long-long -pedantic wchar.cc -o wchar The compiler prints many warnings like this: /usr/include/g++/bits/stl_alloc.h:979: warning: ISO C++ forbids the use of ` extern' on explicit instantiations Is there some way to turn this off?

CUPS vs. apsfilter--newbie setup problems
I'm trying to get my 4.8-running laptop hooked up to some printers, and I'm having trouble getting it configured with either CUPS or apsfilter (as someone here had recommended). I've tried to look over the docs, and search through here, but am still stumped for what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm also not clear on why these systems don't interoperate, or, rather, why an entry in /etc/printcap generated from apsfilter doesn't show up in CUPS. It would be nice if you could use these together. First, I was able to configure printing on a local USB printer with each system, though apsfilter has a vastly greater number of drivers available. Is there a way to get CUPS to read these drivers, or to separately install ones that it can handle? I'm not able to get either one to work with a networked printer. With CUPS, I can get it to the point where I can print a test page, by choosing the device AppSocket/HP Jet Direct (though it's not a Jet Direct printer, just a regular TCP/IP interface) and using a device URI of socket://1.2.3.4:9100/ , but I can't get anything else to print on this printer. I wasn't able to get it to print even a test page by using any lpd combination I could come up with. With apsfilter, I can't get it set up at all; anything I try gives lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found when I try to do a test page. Assuming I ever do manage to get this configured, is there a way to choose printers from within apps? In Mozilla, even with several (dummy) printers entered, the only option for Printer is PostScript/Default, and from, say, Emacs, there's just the various print options. Do I have to choose this from the command line outside of the apps? Thanks very much.

I actually just found the problem that was causing this just yesterday--when I built this box I'd set up a separate filesystem for /tmp and had mounted it with various options including noexec.

Re: Is FreeBSD up to this job?
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-09-17 12:33:30 -0600: 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. that whole thing is terribly overspec'd! do you know an mp3 player with such a spec? I don't. Well, you mention playing video, so that might change things a bit, still. Anyway, if you want to present the user with CD covers, you'll either need X or something capable of displaying graphics on the console (Linux framebuffer, or svgalib, comes to mind). I'd go for a console solution: less overhead, both computational and administrative. You'll need searchable storage for the CD/song titles and whatnot. *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) Looks like you can plug that into an LPT port. *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. All in all, I think that you need is a daemon that will collect data from the bill slot (parallel port?) and a keypad (serial port?), mysqld (the librarized version of the server might be nice), and something to play the music, mp3 / ogg (I'd go for Ogg Vorbis). Something along a 300MHz Celeron/Duron w/ 128 MB RAM would IMO be more than enough. BTW, I was thinking about doing something similar, with one of those micro-ATX boards, an LCD display (one of those found on CD players, you know :), a programmable remote controller, and NetBSD. Would make a nice cd player. :) (I don't have the knowledge to do the electricity stuff, but a friend of mine has done this kind of things...) -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Imap configuration question.
Hello, I recently started up a FreeBSD system (4.8 Stable) and as part of the post install selected the imap-uw-2002 server. So the install is from packages rather than ports. I looked at some of the archived imap questions but they all assume one is building it. Is there a way to figure out how it has been compiled? It seems to magically run (telnet to localhost 143 gets a response although I don't know any low level commands to verify more) but my login always fails. Isn't there some user configuration I have to do? Its as if the logins are disabled or something but I cannot find any information on imapd configuration files or the like. The imapd man page is devoid of any configuration info. I am trying to access the server from a win XP box by configuring an email account to reference an imap server on the local net using my Freebsd login name as the user name and my Freebsd password as the password. I also try the same thing on the FreeBSD system itself using netscape +mail. In both cases it asks me for a password but always fails the login. Where can I get some information on this?

Re: Is FreeBSD up to this job?
I'm beginning to agree it is now overspec'ed. But only because I'm thinking now (thanks to input from you folks) about making a marketable version instead of one for my own pool hall. When I say jukebox, I mean ones like these: http://www.gameroomantiques.com/CDjukebox.htm http://www.wurlitzer-jukebox.com/showroom-omt.html Big showy pieces of eyecandy. A gorgeous hunk fof aluminum, with lights and bubblers, etc etc. My original thoughts where definately overkill, but it was for my own amusement, so it didn't really matter, ya know? Know I'm thinking of making something I can mass produce down the line. I had some time to reflect on the design, and my main problem I was facing was the visualizations of music. Initially I thought I'd need a fairly high output video card to be able to properly display the vis. in close to real time. My current rig @ 1024x768 with a Radeon 8000 can only run the Winamp vis full screen at 40fps with a noticeable delay in the music beats and the vis interpretation on the screen. Drop the window to a size where it hits 70fps or so and the music and vis stay in tune, so I figured a more powerful vid card was the answer. But I forgot that a standard TV resolution is only 640x480, so I should be able to get away with a lot less then top of the line. I'm going to try to test all this by using the 1Ghz Nehemiah Mini-ITX board ( http://www.mini-itx.com/store/default.asp?c=2#p243 ) with 256mb ram. Install a RAID card and setup 1 20Gb drive RAID 1 array and 1 100Gb RAID 1 array. 20Gb raid for FBSD and the 100GB RAID for media files. Then pick up the bill validator, buttons and what not and see if I can't make it work sans enclosure, which will save me a ton of cash. Someone suggested trying Freevo, so I'll see if I can't hack the interface of it to see if I can achieve what I want. If I was more of an artist I could mockup the overall look of the display I'm going for, but I'm not (I'll see if a friend of mine can tackle this part).

I don't. Well, you mention playing video, so that might change things a bit, still. Anyway, if you want to present the user with CD covers, you'll either need X or something capable of displaying graphics on the console (Linux framebuffer, or svgalib, comes to mind). I'd go for a console solution: less overhead, both computational and administrative. You'll need searchable storage for the CD/song titles and whatnot. *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) Looks like you can plug that into an LPT port. *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. All in all, I think that you need is a daemon that will collect data from the bill slot (parallel port?) and a keypad (serial port?), mysqld (the librarized version of the server might be nice), and something to play the music, mp3 / ogg (I'd go for Ogg Vorbis).

There is no config file for imapd, and there are several authentication options when you compile it.

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. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions 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.

File deletion problem
I have a situation that I have not been able to track down where on one of my servers some process is writing a log file (I presume) and it is getting rotated out from under it. The net result is that the log continues to be written to the original file which eventually is deleted thus leaving no trace of who or what. It takes several months before its size becomes noticable, but eventually get grows to consume remaining disk space. Given that the file has an inode but no directory entry, how do you find it? All I have been able to come up with is to use fstat to find all the open files inodes and then to search with ls for each by hand and removing those I can find. Unfortunately this is a large web server with lots of files. Today I moved some of the log files onto a different disk to see if the problem moves. That would narrow down the search considerably. But I suspect I will have to wait a couple months before I can see the effects of the hidden file. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You must to have a local copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository.
During the 'make release' cvs is called several times to fetch
an appropriate versions of the system sources, documentation sources
and the ports tree to the ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/src, ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/doc
and ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/ports accordingly from the repository.
I am sure You don't want to fetch the whole repository for
the FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE-p7 only ;-)
The solution is to comment out all lines in the /usr/src/release/Makefile
that contains the calls to 'cvs' and populate the directories manually.
(mount_null -o ro /usr/[src|doc|ports] ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/[src|doc|ports]
is the simplest way to do that). Be careful not to erase your ports and
source trees because the Makefile contains the commands that removes
the contents of the ${CHROOTDIR} directory before any other actions.
P.S. Why 'freebsd-security' and not 'questions' or 'stable' ?

No, this is the result of a failed reverse DNS lookup or a failed
consistency check between forward and reverse DNS. Given that the

Then why does it not occur in 8.12.9? If I start my 8.12.9 sendmail, it does
NOT say may be forged. Did something change in-between versions?
It would seem so.
Here is why I think it seems related to Verisign somehow:
asarian-host: {root} % nslookup my-xp-machine.net
Name:my-xp-machine.net
Address: 64.94.110.11
Ah. But this is an invalid domain.
Maybe 8.12.10 picks up on the IP-mismatch?
But we're looking at the reverse lookup first. There's no global
reverse lookup for that network, but that doesn't mean that there
aren't local name servers which handle it.
But that still does not explain why my 8.12.9 sendmail does not say
may be forged. And if I change /etc/hosts to have 192.168.1.3
called my-xp-machine.ORG, then the error goes away, in 8.12.10

Yes, that's a feature, not a bug.

FreeBSD Installation on AlphaStation 200 4/233
I am still floundering with regard to installing FreeBSD on my AlphaStation 200 4/233 box. I am at a complete loss of what to try next. I have attempted installations from both floppy and CDROM. Have have attempted multiple set command on different variables on the alpha bios but nothing works. The system boots the CDROM, gets past the switching to the OSF PAL succeeded FreeBSD/alpha SRM CD9660 boot, Revision 1.2 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=0x4cd740+0x63ca0 syms=[0x0+0x65550+0x8+0x4d8a3] - Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... Entering kernel @ 0xfc33f0e0 screen flickers and shifts one character left and wraps the left characters onto the right side of the screen, then halted CPU 0 halt code = 5 Halt instruction executed PC=fc650e20 CPU 0 booting Then the system goes through this same displeasing cycle again and again and again. It's driving me nuts.Does anyone have any kind of a suggestion to help me determine the problem?

Thanks to Kris I found the new sendmail. :) But a slight anomaly
occurs in 8.12.10:
AUTH=server, relay=my-xp-machine.net [192.168.1.3] (may be forged),
authid=admin
That is odd; why would it suddenly say may be forged?
Hmm, this wouldn't, by any chance, have anything to do with Verisign's
latest DNS crap, would it? Kinda like a preemptive caution that a
net domain might be fake?
No, this is the result of a failed reverse DNS lookup or a failed
consistency check between forward and reverse DNS. Given that the
address is in the non-routable RFC 1918 range, this is to be expected.
Then why does it not occur in 8.12.9? If I start my 8.12.9 sendmail, it
does NOT say may be forged. Did something change in-between versions?
It would seem so.
Here is why I think it seems related to Verisign somehow:
asarian-host: {root} % nslookup my-xp-machine.net
Name:my-xp-machine.net
Address: 64.94.110.11
Ah. But this is an invalid domain.
Yes, it is the name of my XP machine within the network. :)
But that still does not explain why my 8.12.9 sendmail does not say
may be forged. And if I change /etc/hosts to have 192.168.1.3
called my-xp-machine.ORG, then the error goes away, in 8.12.10
too!
Yes, that's a feature, not a bug.
I do not quite understand this. Why would it not say may be forged when de
domain name ends in .org?
At any rate, I installed 8.12.10 now, changed the name of my XP machine to
end in .org; and, for the rest, everything seems to work wonderfully. So,
whatever that small change between versions may have been, it must be a
minor thing. I just wanted to make sure I had not compiled the new sendmail
horribly wrong. Everything is ok now. :)
Thanks for your help,

RE: Postfix against spam
I just posted a short tutorial on Postfix on my website that deals with today's MS virus outbreak, take a look here: http://samba.netfirms.com/postfix/postfixrules.pdf A bit off topic, but with a rash of crap coming down my pipe, Im looking for solutions to fight spam using Postfix running on FreeBSD 4.8. I've come across a few links that suggest using Postfix with RBL. If anyone has any experiences with this or any other techniques with FBSD/Postfix, email me offlist with any links on the internet, that would help me out.
