Windows defaults to "everyone on the Internet can write my disk"; FreeBSD defaults to "only root can write my disk"; OpenBSD defaults to "only God can write my disk, and even he needs a 1024 bit key". It's all a matter of trading security vs. ease of use. For the most part, you should install all software as root, and then expect that the software can be configured to "do the right thing" as part of the install. In general, I would say that most of your problems arise from the UNIX security model, and the failure of the software vendors or ports maintainers or both to anticipate you using your machine as if it's a signle use box. FWIW, if you are going to use the machine as a single user box, you probably want to create your user as uid 0:0, even if the name is not actually "root", and then auto-login the user without a password into something like a KDE environment. Then the console user owns all the hardware, and there's no issues for single user use that need you to go to root to resolve. -- Terry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

4.8-REL firewall/gateway not playing nicely with Comcast COM21 modem
Hey gang, I have been trying to build an Internet gateway using a 933MHz EPIA mainboard, and a couple of 3Com 3C905C-TX NIC cards. The gateway works great, under low load - but has a problem with dropping connectivity under load. At first, I thought it might be the VIA LAN port, a vr device. However, I put two 3Com cards in the box, and it still has problems. Both boards are known good - they run just fine, at full loads, in other systems. I have noticed it has a real issue when I window applications through ssh, or use the cisco ATA (for Vonage VOIP). Sometimes it will work just fine for hours, then just die. The router host itself is fine - it just stops routing. I can login at the console, run ifconfig, etc. It just won't send or receive packets. Sometimes this causes the cable modem to hang, but other times the cable modem appears fine. I can't tell, of course, but it is happily blinking away as normal. I typically reboot both the router and the modem when this occurs, so I don't know for sure if it was still "alive". Oddly enough, sometimes this issue "self-corrects". Today, I lost connectivity for an hour, then it came back up on its own. Given the odd nature of the problem, I'm not sure what info I should include - but I'll take a stab at it. -dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: Upgrade to 4.8 RELEASE
Hello, I'm making plans to upgrade from 4.7 RELEASE to 4.8 RELEASE. My previous attempt was a binary upgrade from 4.5 to 4.7 which did not go very well. I eventually purchased the 4.7 CD. The FreeBSD Handbook stresses backing up the system and implies that /dump/ is a better backup program. Chapter 12.9.8.1 of the handbook recommends having a copy of the boot and fixit floppies available and making sure they have all your devices, otherwise you'll need to prepare two bootable custom floppies that contain /fdisk, disklabel, newfs, mount, /and your backup program. It goes on to say that these programs must be statically linked. I understand hard and soft links but I'm not familiar with static links. The handbook also provides a script for creatinng a bootable floppy. A static link is a firm link:) Seriously, static linking has nothing to do with filesystem links. A statically linked program just uses no shared libraries. AFAICT the programs in /stand (and /bin and /sbin) are statically linked (note that those in /stand are also a "crunchbox", that is, a single "monolithic" program which runs differently depending on the name it was run as). You really have to mess with this only if you are going to write your own program to run from a boot floppy. You can use file(1) if you want to see if a program is staticlally linked: $ file /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/find: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped $ file /stand/find /stand/find: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, statically linked, stripped Thanks for the education Sergey. This makes a lot more sense now. I never prepared a boot floppy when I initially installed 4.7 so I thought the handbook was suggesting a necessary alternative (?). If it's not absolutely necessary, I'll skip it. Any suggestions relative to the upgrade process is also appreciated. In fact, a source update isn't as dangerous as you expect. That's what I've heard and I suspect you're right. However, AFAICT, past failures have usually come as a result of not following the handbook. Maybe this floppy is a bit of overkill though.

Thank you. There is one thing that I am not sure of. I read again an article in FreeBSD Diary http://www.freebsddiary.org/portupgrade.php and it said that if I force it to pkg_delete a certain package that other packages depend on, there might be problems of broken dependencies. I tried the way you teach me first then read the article and then I decided to first uninstall them all and do the portupgrade -N again from the begining. After the whole installation process, pkg_version shows me that every packages installed are consistent to the port tree. ( and it is good to me ) Thank you again for your help.

You can use your monitor controls to position FreeBSD correctly, and then it will be the Microsoft image which is wrong :-) You can tune your X image with xvidtune. Once you have the results, you should feed the resultant mode line back into your XF86Config file. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

The vinum.conf used driveoffset of 265s for swap - would think it > should have been 281s. > > The machine works, but have had a couple of unexplained reboots. The > mirrored drives are ad4s1 and ad8s1. Vinum uses the first 265 sectors on a drive for configuration information. That has never changed. It leaves the first 7 sectors free for other stuff and puts the Vinum label in sector 8. Unfortunately, this isn't compatible with bootstraps, which use sectors 1 to 16. The result is that if you put a Vinum drive exactly at the beginning of a bootable disk, you will overwrite the bootstrap. Thus the recommendation to put the drive at offset 16, so that nothing will get clobbered. This means that the first subdisk in the drive will be at offset 281 from the beginning of the disk. The offset of the first subdisk in the drive remains the same at 265. That's what you have on your system: > b: 4194023 281 swap > h: 398283401 16 vinum If you're having "reboots" (I suppose you mean panics or spontaneous resets), it's almost certainly not because of the disk layout. Follow the instructions and we can probably find out what it is. Note that Vinum seems to be tickling bugs in -CURRENT ata code at the moment.

Ok People i download the latest port.tar.gz it includes the mozilla-firebird if i install it what could happen whit my system it needs xfree greater than i have installed ?what should i do? upgrade the entite syste? OK, very good - you now have a very recent set of ports "skeletons" (the instructions to download the source for, compile, and install on your system any of over 9000 applications). As you see, these ports have 'dependencies' (other ports they need), and upgrading a port sometimes means upgrading one or more dependencies. FreeBSD has an excellent application for managing port upgrades that will help you. It is called (not surprisingly) 'portupgrade.' Find it in the ports system (usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) and install it. Now, regarding your question whether you should upgrade your whole system: It is a good idea to keep your system up-to-date with your ports. However, the usual way to do this is with cvsup. :( (You should read about CTM, as Kris mentioned, in the Handbook online at the FreeBSD web site to determine whether you might be able to update using that method.) Therefore, you probably want to try installing the latest Mozilla-Firebird without updating your entire system. To do this, after you have installed portupgrade and either rebooted or typed "rehash," type # portupgrade -RN mozilla-firebird If you get an error saying a dependency is already installed, you can try # portupgrade -fRN mozilla-firebird I have an alternative to suggest that may be quicker and easier, because building the latest mozilla-firebird from the port is a very long process. Did you install Linux emulation when you installed FreeBSD? If yes, then type # portupgrade linux_base If not, type # portupgrade -RN linux_base or # portupgrade -RN linux_base-8 (As before, if you see an error that a dependency is already installed, try adding the -f option to portupgrade.) Add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf file if it is not already there: linux_enable="YES" Then download the Mozilla-Firebird Linux binary from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz>. Install the Linux binary, reboot, and you should have a working version of the latest Mozilla-Firebird on your system in much less time than if you compiled it from a port. Jud P.S. Osmany, please type your replies at the bottom rather than the top of the messages to which you are replying, and try to make some kind of visual separation between the original message and your reply.

Yes this is the -STABLE branch. It just happens that at the present moment 4.9-STABLE is a release candidate, which is why you see 4.9-RC. Once it's released then it will be 4.9-RELEASE and they'll increment -STABLE to 4.9.1 (or would it go to 4.10?). > 2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which > options should I put in the supfile ? Change the "default release" line in the sup file from: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_5 or: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3 respectively.

RE: IPFW Antics
Fortunately for you, natd offers DCC forwarding support without mapping

Hey-
I am trying to run an IRC file server inside my network that is protected by
a FreeBSD box that is running natd. I am running natd with the following
options to enable IP forwarding to allow people to request files from my
file server (192.168.0.101):
/sbin/natd -f /etc/natd.conf -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.101:-7000
-7000 -n ep1
Unfortunately, it appears that the natd box is not forwarding the incoming
request packets correctly. Can anyone provide some insight on this? Thanks
in advance.

I upgraded from CVSup: did I get a -stable branch ?
Hi, just a question for a doubt I have:I updated the src tree via cvsup using the file included below.According to some BSD literature (not found in the handbook), by using the 'RELENG_4' tag in the supfile, I will get the source tree for the latest -STABLE branch, and that is what I wanted.I CVSuped,the I recompiled the source tree and the kernel,according to the FreeBSD Handbook instructions. All went OK.This is the output from the 'uname -a' command after the process: FreeBSD ciao.singles.it 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #0: Wed Oct 15 00:12:26 CEST 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CURRENT_WINE i386 I have two questions: 1)looking at the output of 'uname', is this a STABLE version of FreeBSD (as I would expect) ? 2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which options should I put in the supfile ?

Do you have the ports collection (the /usr/ports directory and contents) in your version of 5.1-RELEASE? If so, you can cd to /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird and type 'make install clean' (no quotes). That should get you version 0.6, I believe. Why are you unable to cvsup? If it is because you don't have the cvsup application installed, see if you can download and install the package for it (I'd recommend choosing the cvsup-without-gui package; you can also install cvsup using the port, but that takes a very long time downloading, compiling and installing Modula-3). Once you have cvsup installed, you can use it to install/update the ports collection. If you cannot use cvsup for some other reason, you might try FTP-ing the latest ports collection. (Since I am behind a firewall without FTP access ATM, can someone tell us whether there is an FTP-able ports collection with version 0.7 of Mozilla-Firebird?)

Re: Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Fellow newb here, but I've also been working on X issues with my GForceFX in Linux *and* FBSD so I might (and I stress might) be able to help. First things first, can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config file? Are you using *dm (xdm, kdm, gdm, etc) or are you booting to CLI and doing startx? I've had more issues with kdm and my FX than with CLI + startx. As for AGP and kernel config, I've gotten mine working with AGP in the kernel and compiled with no optimizations other than CPUTYPE. Once I get a look at your files (and compare them to mine at home) I might have some more suggestions. chris --- Don Whitteker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am > still a bit of a > newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am > learning more every > day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel > free to point > me in the right direction if I did not > > OK...here's the problem.

Oracle client question
Hey all. I'm sure this has been asked a few times, but I've not found the answer to my specific question regarding Oracle on FreeBSD. Here goes: I don't need to run the Oracle server on FreeBSD, so I'm not above simply copying in the headers and libraries by hand. So the installation procedure is NOT necessary. The handbook and FAQ do not discuss actually *linking* linux specific libraries. Here's the real question: Is anyone out there linking CLIENT applications that successfully connect to a separate Oracle server? If this can be done easily enough, then I may be porting a very high volume network application (500+ HTTP transactions/sec on a base Netra running Solaris8) to FreeBSD 5.x. The problem is that I am inextricably tied to Oracle. If anyone has had any experience in this area, I'd certainly appreciate some pointers. I'd also appreciate knowing if anyone has actually built an Oracle client on Linux and run it on FreeBSD. And no, I don't believe Linux is being considered as an actual runtime platform option.

I'm afraid I don't have any advice specific to your problem, but I can give some general advice starting with: Consider saving all of your important data (to include networking configuration, custom scripts, and X configuration) and start from scratch with a new install of 4.9RC. > The error > I get if I try and run one of the broken programs is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so > 1: Shared Object "libintl.so.4" not found If I do a locate libintl.so.4, the > machine tells me that is is located in libexec, right where it should be, > however, when I log into that directory and look, It's not there - and I > have been logging in as root to make sure that I get all privileges and can > see hidden files. The 'locate' utility uses a database, located in /var/db/locate.database, to keep track of things. Theoretically, this database is supposed to be updated weekly via a cron job, which can result in a confusing scenario for those not familiar with how locate works. If you do any work to the filesystem (installing a program, deleting some files, etc) then the locate database will be out of date until the the next time the cron job is run. This is the problem that you're describing. Do an 'ls -l' on the database file and look at the timestamp--that will tell you the exact time that the database was last synched with the system. I personally lothe the locate system because it's most useless when it's most needed. I tinker on my system a lot, and if I've just installed something and run into library dependency issues, I usually want to know where my libraries are *now*, not last Saturday at 4:15AM. For this reason, I usually disable the weekly database sync (to save wear and tear on my disks) and resort to 'which', 'whereis', and 'find'. See the manpages for each.

I'm sure you're not unappreciative, but bear in mind that FreeBSD is a complex, technical system and that technical language is usually required to communicate any meaningful solution or idea. There might be a few on this list who enjoy trying to flex their alleged superiority over newbies by using throwing in advanced words and highly technical concepts, but most of us are just here volunteering our valuable time to help. Understanding, however, can never simply be given. That's a journey that you have to take up yourself. If you're having trouble with the technical jargon, you should strive to learn it by reading as many docs and manpages as you can, especially since you indicate that your intention is to learn. I can sympathize with your situation, though, because I'm not much of a programmer either. This is a significant disadvantage when it comes to learning FreeBSD as its surrounding culture is deeply intertwined with programming and development, even compared to other Unix clones and derivatives. But with persistance and a LOT of reading, FreeBSD is far from impossible to learn. Charles Ulrich -- http://bityard.net ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.fr
Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am still a bit of a newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am learning more every day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel free to point me in the right direction if I did not OK...here's the problem. I have an A7N8X board (deluxe) and am trying to use the nvidia driver with my GeForceFX. I've installed 5.1-Release (I tries 4.8 too but the 5.1 just seemed to flow better with me) and have ACPI turned off in my BIOS and in FBSD. However no matter what I do all I seem to be able to get when I start up X is the nvidia logo. I lose all keyboard function and thus have to do a hard reboot. I have been working on this particular little problem for a number of weeks now to no avail. I have searched any relevant docs I could find (nvidia, handbook,XFree86 site, nforce2 site) to no avail. I have googles so much I have trouble remembering which keyword combination I used to get to a particular page. Basically I am clueless on what to try next. I have tried make setup with the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with agp in the kernel, tried the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with it not in the kernel but as a module, I have tried with no agp in kernel or agp.ko and using the cards AGPGART. I have even tried combinations between them. I have compiled and recompiled with optimizations (-march=athlon-xp CHFLAGS= -o -pipe) and without but nothing seems to change. The only errors I am getting in my XFree86.0.log is a couple of warnings about some resolution I don't use anyway not working with my monitor and of course it not being able to verify AGP usage when I am using freebsd's agpgart. Other than that everything looks peachy keen. Everything works fine with "nv" Looking back I probably would not have gotten such a problematic chipset if I had known I was going to be giving up windows and moving to something a little more fun = )...btw besides the whole video driver thing I am loving this OS. oh yeahif you need me to post my dmesg or config file or log or anything just let me know = ) Don Whitteker __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: 5.1-Realease UPDATE PORTS
I do cd to /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird and these port does not exist I can do cvsup due to restrictions on my FIREWALL Do you have the ports collection (the /usr/ports directory and contents) in your version of 5.1-RELEASE? If so, you can cd to /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird and type 'make install clean' (no quotes). That should get you version 0.6, I believe. Why are you unable to cvsup? If it is because you don't have the cvsup application installed, see if you can download and install the package for it (I'd recommend choosing the cvsup-without-gui package; you can also install cvsup using the port, but that takes a very long time downloading, compiling and installing Modula-3). Once you have cvsup installed, you can use it to install/update the ports collection. If you cannot use cvsup for some other reason, you might try FTP-ing the latest ports collection.

Can I get SMBFS to cooperate with NT apps as well as Sharity Light?
I am trying to open a series of database files from FreeBSD that are hosted by a Windows NT share. I only need read-only access at this point. For some reason though, if a file is opened by a Windows program, FreeBSD can't get read access to it if I use smbfs, but other Windows machines can and so can FreeBSD if I mount the share with Sharity instead of smbfs. I tried to find information in the mount_smbfs man page and in the smbfs source code on how to make smbfs grant me read access to an already-opened file, but I didn't find anything. Is there a way to get smbfs to grant the same access to files that Windows is using? This is FreeBSD 4.8-RC, in case it matters for this.

kernal panic when trying to recompile world or kernel
Hello all, I was hoping to get some insight into what could be causing these issues. Any thing you can do to help is appreciated. Here is the situation: I have an asus A7M-266D with dual athalon MP 1800+ and 1.5G of DDR 2100 RAM. The machine has 3 120GIG IDE drives, one floppy and one CD drive. Drives are western digital. The kernel is compiled for SMP and the release is FREEBSD-5.1-RELEASE although sources were current till about June at which time I moved and did not do much to system. Now I have gotten the system out of storage and set it up .. it runs fine but I have recently tried to cvsup then recompile world and I get: KERNEL PANIC with CPUID = 0 lapic.id = It seems like a random error in that it sometimes does it in 2 minutes and other times it will go for almost 10 minutes. Once it happens, the machine reboots. I originally thought this could be due to heat from processors so I took measures to reduce heat. There are currently 2 fans pushing air into the case and 3 fans plus 1 blower pulling air out of the case. Each CPU has a new amd cpu fan with bearings and the temp is well within the limits of normal operation. I am at a loss for this and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on ways to fix / mitigate. please respond directly as I am not on the mailing list. many thanks Ray ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There is no port for 5.x that I can find so updating your ports tree wont do much good. You can try downloading the package for 4-stable or wait for it to appear for 5.x.

Like it says right at the top of the page at http://www.freebsd.org/ -- What is FreeBSD? FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC(R) architectures.

Re: mplayer + xmms issue!
Are you getting any sounds at all? Check in /dev to see if you even have a sound device. My guess is no. All sound drivers (I believe) are disabled initially. Check out /boot/defaults/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf. Also the Handbook has a sound card section. Most PCs have a cable connected directly from the CDROM to the sound card so CDs might play even if FreeBSD is not setup to use your sound card.

If the new program really *requires* an updated version of the dependency (as opposed to the packages case, where it's linked against that version but could -- typically -- just as easily have been linked against an older version), then you need to update the dependency, and everything else that's dependent on it. This is where portupgrade really saves you an awful lot of (tedious) effort. Telling the two cases apart can be a bit tricky for non-programmers, but building the port will usually tell you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Anyone know of a good way to handle mail for multiple domains (my own _and_ not my own)?
Hey all- this is something I've looked for a good solution for for some time, and I'm sure someone else has already worked out. Any ideas appreciated. The scenario: I have entirely too many email addresses, several of which from domains that are mine, but others that are not mine, but am unable to get rid of entirely. My freeBSD system is going to become a mail server among other things, to handle mail for several of my own domains. Not a big deal there, have done that enough times...however: I'd like to also pull email from the mail accounts which are _not_ mine, so I can simply use IMAP to my mail server to access all of my different accounts email. In the past, I've used fetchmail to accomplish this somewhat, but that was on a per user basis via user cron jobs. I'd rather avoid adding user accounts (at the shell/system level) for each email account I have. Does anyone know of an alternative way to do this, that would work well for say, a dozen accounts for multiple domains of my own, and perhaps another dozen accounts from domains that are not my own?

This is the main problem that portupgrade(1) solves: package dependency ordering. Generally what happens is that a port looks for, say, a particular version of a shared library. If you've got an older version of the shared library installed, the test to find the particular shared library will fail, and the ports system will try and re-install the dependent package. As you've discovered, trying to install a package on top of an older version of itself generates errors. The trick is to update the dependencies first, and then the ports that depend on them. It's also a good rule of thumb to take all your ports/packages from a consistent source: ie. always use the packages directory for your particular release from the FTP servers, or always install from a freshly cvsup(1)'d ports tree. That isn't a hard and fast rule, but it generally helps you to avoid this sort of version mismatch thing if you stick to it as closely as you can. Note that sometimes a port providing a particular shared library may have any number of dependents, and they can be broken by your updating the shared library. The gettext port seems to be a prime offender in this reguard, as witnessed by the regular floods of messages to this list about 'libintl.so.N not found'. portupgrade(1) gets around that shared library problem by keeping a copy of old version of shlibs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and there will generally be a heads-up e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when some particularly important port gets updated.

The buildworld should work fine in raised securelevels. Installing (kernels or the rest of the "world") won't, but that's one of the reasons you usually want to do those things in single-user mode. It's quite acceptable (and common) to do the buildworld with the high securelevel and then reboot to continue with the installation. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't think burncd will use it anyway, although I'm too lazy to actually check the code. With a *really* fast burner, I suppose it's possible that your system can't the data off the hard disk fast enough (particularly if the image is mounted over a network, as seems to be the case from your directory path), then buffer underruns are definitely possible. The first thing to look at is whether it works at a lower speed. In fact, start with a burn speed of 1x or 2x. If that works, then the media you're using can't handle the top speed of the drive. This is quite common these days. If underruns are occurring, then burning at a slower speed should avoid the problem as well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have the perfect Coaching & Training directory for your business.
In fact, I founded this directory for the same reasons which you've probably found frustrating-a lack of internet traffic. We all know that when we're not on one of the top three or four search engine pages, we're out of the loop. We noticed a few months ago that the search engines are moving away from keywords and metatags as a source of indexing. We wondered what they knew that we didn't! After we studied the drift of the big engines, we came up with a two-pronged solution for anyone who wants more traffic to their site: 1) Netword 2) A Business-specific Directory Netword is the future of the Internet when it comes to global and regional searches. The good news is that we've bought the Networds which are exclusive to your industry to build a giant Directory, with specific sub-categories, so that you are at the Top of your Business category, rather than buried on page 50. The other good news is that Netword is just now reaching its exponential growth phaseÂ…this means that you're in a position to guarantee your future Placement on Internet searches which pertain to your industry-i.e. at the Top of Your Category in your Business Domain as Networds propagate globally throughout the Internet universe. Take a look at our Directory at http://www.agorainstitute.com If you like what you see, either check the Advertise Here page (button on the left menu) or send us an e-mail via the Contact Us page on the Directory site. You'll be guaranteeing your placement on an Industry-exclusive directory that is simply going to continue growing in the future.
