XF86 setup failure in FreeBSD 4.8
Hi, First thanks for all your efforts in providing a free operating system for so many platforms. I have tried to install for the first time 4.8 on an IBM PL300 with a TFT monitor (IBM 9493) also on a compaq 4000 with IBM G74 monitor. the former machine has a video card Number 9 which works under Linux XF86 3.3.6 and 4.2.1 with the savage driver and the latter a matrox millenium which works under the mga driver in Linux. For some reason, using the same video/monitor settings as I have for both machines using several linux version I get a setup of XF86 failure during the installation of FreeBSD this occurs for all variations including using standard VGA for both and vesa. The graphical setup seems to find settings to provide a display though! Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome. My best regards to all For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. H. L.

Samba over SSH
I want to use PuTTY and ssh to port forward and map a samba share across the internet. From what I have read on the net it almost seems possable. Does anyone know how this can be done?

samba trouble on freebsd 5.1
Hi all, I am using freebsd 5.1 and Samba 2.2.8a, i have some troubles with samba shares when i try to write something from windows to samba (share are msdosfs) hang, and lost connection to the samba server. Then, i need to down/up my NIC or reboot my server... Sometimes, it crash with a kernel panic... I tried the same transfert with FTP (on the same msdos share) and it's ok, no problem... I also tried with another NIC (Realtek and 3COM). When i write on an UFS1/2 share from windows, no problem... Is there a bug with msdosfs drivers ? Someone could help me please ?

CVSUP upgrade 5.0 - 5.1
I've been contemplating upgrading my FreeBSD 5.0 to 5.1 using cvsup (mainly since there is no official security branch for 5.0 anymore) What I wanted to ask is if I might expect some ports to break after it. I'm running Bugzilla (on MySQL), apache, Big Brother (not from ports), NTP, Samba, tinydns, dnscache and some others. I want to be prepared to handle these befor attempting the upgrade.

marking bad blocks on a hard disk drive
Hello, I saw some info about marking bad sectors on a hard disk at the address http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-July/013737.html; I believe that it is from your organization? I'm having a bit of a problem with my hard disk, very much similar to the situation described by Mr. Andy Farkas. I was just wondering, may I ask for a little advice about something? Mr. Farkas mentioned that after running various formatters and scanners, he identified where the bad sectors were on the disk; what formatters or scanners can be used to do that? Because I've used ScanDisk and Norton's Disk Doctor to scan my drive (20GB, 2 equal partitions: C D). During scanning, C drive is fine, but D drive, everytime when I scanned, about halfway through, my PC would simply hang. The same thing happens for both software: ScanDisk and Disk Doctor. I would be real appreciative to receive advice on possible solutions. Regards, Jen The text below is the info I found on the Web: ** Andy Farkas andyf at speednet.com.au Thu Jul 24 16:31:13 PDT 2003 Like others have said, your disk is dying and is untrustworthy for holding critical data. But no one has answered your question yet, so I will :) I also have a 8gig drive with bad blocks on it. I only use it on a scratch box for testing -current. I don't trust it at all, and will toss it in the bin as soon as it plays up again. After running various formatters and scanners, I identifyied where the bad sectors were on the disk, around the 6gig mark on mine. The bad section was about 20-30MB long. Knowing this, I can now setup partitions around the bad bit. I created a 5.5 gig partition 1, a 1 gig partition 2 (the bad bits), and 1.5 gig partition 3. Hope that helps. ** _ Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.

Rebuild broke mount_smbfs
Hi all Since rebuilding a FreeBSD system recently because of the OpenSSH and Sendmail issues, I've landed in a world of pain with mount_smbfs. The system is now running 4.9-PRERELEASE, and mount_smbfs will mount shares from Windows machines on the network without a problem, but it will no longer mount shares from two Debian linux servers running Samba (one 2.2.3a-12 and one 2.2.3a-6). When I try to mount a share from the two Debian servers, after a few seconds it times out: su-2.05b# mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public /mnt/public Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Operation timed out It's not an authentication problem, if I use the wrong password, it fails immediately with syserr = Authentication error. I've tried a longer timeout using -T, and manually specifying the workgroup with -W, neither of which have any effect. I can browse the affected shares using smbclient without a problem, but there is a lengthy delay after putting in the password before the connection succeeds. I know that the Samba versions on the Debian servers are somewhat old, but upgrading them is going to take a lot of doing, and I'm unsure whether it will have any effect. If anyone has some words of wisdom I'd greatly appreciate them.

Machine stops responding for a minute or so?
I have a remote machine running icecast to send an internet radio stream and it also serves the web page. Every now and then it just quits responding for a minute or so. The audio stream stops, it won't dish up the web page, I can't ping it, and the ssh session I keep open doesn't respond either. There is a Linux router on the network connection and it still responds during the bad period so I don't believe it is an external network problem. This morning when it happened as soon as I could get back in I looked at the log files and the only thing that looked unusual was about the time it stopped responding there was this entry in http-access.log: 209.42.72.248 - - [20/Sep/2003:08:28:21 -0600] GET /scripts/nsiislog.dll 404 - - - which I assume was someone looking for a vulnerable IIS server?

Migrating to BIND 9 (WAS: RE: BIND fix for VeriSign's unregistered domain redirections?)
Also, anyone know of a workaround for BIND 8 at this time? If I were to simply install bind9 on my system from the ports, does it in fact simply overwrite the default installation included with FreeBSD? No. It installs it under /usr/local. Ok, Stupid question now. I'm just really concerned about breaking my dns server because it means I'll stop receiving mail to 3 domains. I also don't have a spare machine right now I can toy with. If I go ahead and portinstall bind9 - will I still be able to start bind up using rc.conf (by changing named_program=..) or does some .sh script get placed into /usr/local/etc/rc.d ? Also, the existing named.conf I've written... will it work if I make it really simplified(for now - I know that bind 9 adds new functionality so eventually I'd find myself tweaking that a little)?

Question on which port is better for COBOL
I have a need to do some COBOL programming at home where I run FreeBSD 4.8. I see the ports collection has two options for COBOL compilers: tinyCobol and openCobol. The tinyCobol port has a higher version number than openCobol, leading me to believe it is more mature, but this is not always the case. Has anyone any experience with either (or preferably both)? Which one is preferred by users out there?

RE: Installation freezes
I had some similar issues w/ an old Compaq Armada running at 150MHz. However, cpu speed is not the problem here but you probably do not have enough RAM installed. To verify that, try to install again. During the time the installation is running, go to the second (I belive) console and watch the output. If you see notices of processes being killed, and if the process being killed is init, then you simply should add some RAM to your machine. Or install FreeBSD 4.8, worked fine for me.

KDE - icons and fonts not anti-aliased
Hi, does anyone else has this problem as well? I've installed 4.8 a week a go, then upgraded it to -stable, then installed mplayer from ports which has also pulled qt. Then I've installed KDE 3.1.3 from ports and the icons and fonts look jagged there. Also I can't enable anti-aliased fonts in KDE's menu Appearance - Fonts: I set the checkbox in the dialog, but the next time I look at it - it is unchecked again. The anti-aliased fonts in mozilla-firebird do work fine though. I've thought that maybe Qt has been compiled without the Xft support, when I was installing mplayer and qt from ports (because Xft probably wasn't installed at that moment). So I have pkg_deleted -f qt and then reinstalled it. And also installed the new KDE 3.1.4. But the problem is still there. I've also tried running sudo fc-cache.

I guess the problem I am having is with PuTTY, I am forcing ssh 2 and putting in the ports and addresses for the client and server as best I can, I have been able to get VPN to work over pptp, which is cool but I would prefer using ssh. If you have a copy of putty laying around would you mind trying it? Or even teraterm-ssh, I am reluctant to use cygwin and such because of the user interface. Thanks again. Richard Puga [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS Have you gotten this to work with cygwin or somthing before? I am using FreeBSD 4.8 and Samba 2.2.8 as the server, I would like to use any windows operating system for the client side, but probably XP. (I want to map the samba share to the windows box) so one idea could be to start three ssh tunnels from client side. which command line u may wonna do something like this: $ ssh -L 137:localhost:137 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 138:localhost:138 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 139:localhost:139 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] (putty should be able to do something similar. but i guess u will need some scripting so that these ssh commands will be executed on startup of the client systems or at least before the shares will be mounted of course.) now u should be able to connect ur clients to any share on server side with \\localhost\share-name i am not familiar with VPN. possibly its a better solution (?) seb Thanks for your Help Richard Puga [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, 2003-09-20 at 08:25, FreeBSD MAIL wrote: I want to use PuTTY and ssh to port forward and map a samba share across the internet.

Can anybody tell me if there are any free open source versions available ? The computer I use is a simple e-machine with a celeron processor (1.4ghz). You have come to the right place. Go to the FreeBSD web page and start learning. http://www.freebsd.org/ Starting on that web page there is a huge amount of material linked to tell you how to get started, download free installation ISOs, do the installations and configurations, add ports of useful additional utilities and manage the system. Start with everything under Documentation, then go to the Software section and then installation guides and release notes. At least skim everything so you have a good idea - it is too much to read in detail all at once. Then get the latest production release (currently 4.8 - soon to be 4.9 == skip the development release - 5.x for now until you are well versed) and install it. You will learn more by just doing it than all the reading, except you have to do some reading before you start. You can either buy a CD set for the nominal production cost or download the ISO for free and burn your own CD. In that case unless your net connection is really slow, just download the mini-ISO and then do the install over the net. Download the whole ports tree with it (that is just the structure, not all the source for the ports - the ports sources download when you building them).. The initial basic install is pretty easy. Most people get hung up in adding extras to their system. There are enough possibilities and variations to boggle the mind. It will take some time and effort to get over the initial hump learning the basics, but you will find that it is worth it in the long run.

The problem you are going to have is that windows binds its NetBIOS stuff to local port 139 et. al. so there's no way to forward them with ssh. The only way to do this is to use a second, non-windows machine on your local LAN, and have IT ssh into the remote and then forward 139 et. al. After doing that, it will appear to have local shares to the windows box. Alternatively, you could try disabling File and Printer Sharing on the windows end and try to get whatever is listening on 139 to stop so that ssh can forward that port... I don't know if that's possible or not. The VPN method with PPTP (and mpd on the remote FreeBSD end) is what I ended up doing. I finally got it all working finally, and was quite disappointed with the speed. Samba over a broadband link to a server very far away was very slw.

If you haven't changed anything here, it would be interesting to know in more detail just what you did. To judge by the surprising number of partitions, you didn't take the defaults. I just created seperate partitions for / /tmp /var /usr etc. The c partition was created by FreeBSD on its own. Could this be a BIOS problem, my system BIOS predates that size of disks by far? Barely possible. The system is an older Digital PC (3500) PII 333 Mhz. The disk is a 40 GB IDE drive (WD) BTW, I'm looking for a safe way to 'grow' my rootfs, I've looked arround before, but I'm still not clear on the right procedure for it. Take a look at growfs(8). To do it right, you need space directly behind the root file system. Even Vinum won't help here. You could move the swap space elsewhere, for example. I'm looking at that option, lucky that I have a second disk with rsynced mirrors of all partitions on the first one. I can just remove /home and /data and copy them back later. Well, yes, or you can completely reinstall. I was looking at a less intrusive way of doing it. Perhaps I can add the swap space to / and create a new swap further back on the disk. It's not a good idea to add swap space to a file system. It's better to have your own partition. Probably what you have is more than adequate, though. You can clear the error by running disklabel -e /dev/ad0s1a in single user mode, and changing the length and offset of partition c (offset 0, add 63 to the size). I wanted to try this on the mirror disk first, it also shows the offset at 63 using disklabel -r Yet doing disklabel -e on it shows the offset at 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 32768004.2BSD 2048 16384 20488 # (Cyl.0 - 325*) b: 1007984 327680 swap# (Cyl. 325*- 1325*) c: 804181770unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 79779*) d: 1007616 13356644.2BSD 2048 16384 62984 # (Cyl. 1325*- 2324*) e: 1024000 23432804.2BSD 2048 16384 64008 # (Cyl. 2324*- 3340*) f: 18120704 33672804.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 3340*- 21317*) g: 20971520 214879844.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 21317*- 42122*) h: 37958673 424595044.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 42122*- 79779*) It looks as if you have two different partition tables.

The short answer: SCO's predecessors sued the BSDs for much the same issue over ten years ago. The matter was settled out of court. If you believe this view, then the BSDs have nothing more to fear. On the other hand, the way SCO is handling the current issue suggests that they have lost their minds. They have presented no proof for their claims (well, they produced some BSD code purported to be in Linux, and claimed that it was System V code; see http://www.lemis.com/grog/SCO/code-comparison.html#BPF for more details). As a result, there's no reason to believe that they wouldn't make similar claims about the BSDs. After all, the code in that example *is* in FreeBSD.

help with installing a program
i just installed this program called libiconv.-1.9.1 but it has something in the installation process that i have no clue what they're saying, i will copy and paste it here , what i don't understand is how to recompile and reinstall GNC gettext so that it can take advantage of libiconv. After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of libiconv. On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be internationalized only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before GNU libiconv. This means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we have a circular dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext packages, which can be resolved by building and installing either - first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again, or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX) - first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again. Recall that before building a package for the second time, you need to erase the traces of the first build by running make distclean. This library can be built and installed in two variants: - The library mode. This works on all systems, and uses a library `libiconv.so' and a header file `iconv.h'. (Both are installed through make install.) To use it, simply #include iconv.h and use the functions. To use it in an autoconfiguring package: - If you don't use automake, append m4/iconv.m4 to your aclocal.m4 file. - If you do use automake, add m4/iconv.m4 to your m4 macro repository. - Add to the link command line of libraries and executables that use the functions the placeholder @LIBICONV@ (or, if using libtool for the link, @LTLIBICONV@). If you use automake, the right place for these additions are the *_LDADD variables. Note that 'iconv.m4' is also part of the GNU gettext package, which installs it in /usr/local/share/aclocal/iconv.m4. - The libc plug/override mode. This works on GNU/Linux, Solaris and OSF/1 systems only. It is a way to get good iconv support without having glibc-2.1. It installs a library `libiconv_plug.so'. This library can be used with LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library.

Re: Samba over SSH
Unless you _must_ use samba, try using nfs with tcp connection through your vpn. It is much faster and still reliable. mount -t nfs -o -T host:/the/path/ /mount/point will use tcp for transport, thus ensuring you don't suffer problems even in the case of a disconnection of the vpn. Of course, the server must supprt nfs over tcp (most bsd do that). We use this to connect to a cvs server and it works great.

If you have a copy of putty laying around would you mind trying it? Or even teraterm-ssh, I am reluctant to use cygwin and such because of the user interface. The problem you are going to have is that windows binds its NetBIOS stuff to local port 139 et. al. so there's no way to forward them with ssh. The only way to do this is to use a second, non-windows machine on your local LAN, and have IT ssh into the remote and then forward 139 et. al. After doing that, it will appear to have local shares to the windows box. Alternatively, you could try disabling File and Printer Sharing on the windows end and try to get whatever is listening on 139 to stop so that ssh can forward that port... I don't know if that's possible or not. The VPN method with PPTP (and mpd on the remote FreeBSD end) is what I ended up doing. I finally got it all working finally, and was quite disappointed with the speed. Samba over a broadband link to a server very far away was very slw.

Re: write behind caching

He is having problems that the index files get corrupt. He phoned support for the financial system they told him he must disable Write behind caching on the server, However this is for a M$ server. Is there something equivilent for FreeBSD? This is almost always due to an application programming error, but you can't tell the developers that, and instead of fixing their problem, the developers nearly always tell you to turn off write caching. What they really mean to say is opportunistic locking. Turn that off in Samba and things will work smoothly, though much slower. This has _ABSOLUTELY NOTHING_ to do with any write caching performed by the server OS or storage subsystem, nor with their sync behaviours. This is entirely client-side caching (though server-orchestrated) and has only to do with SMB file locking and a _client_ performing write caching on a network file while other clients are performing read caching on the same file, and the whole ballet of cache flushings don't happen when they're supposed to. Or something like that. Before you turn off opportunistic locking, though, if the application uses the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) and/or Jet for its database backend, download the latest MDAC and/or Jet release from Microsoft's web site and install it on _every_ workstation. That kind of thing is ideal to put in a login script while using the silent install option. I believe the latest MDAC release is 2.8, and the latest Jet is 4.0 SP7.
