Why no FreeBSD ftp site in India?
Hi, A friend of mine from India is interested in changing from W$ to a unix flavour. I recommended FreeBSD, but then discovered that there's no ftp server within India for downloading the OS. Are there some legal issues there? India is the second largest populous country in the world with possibly the highest potential on software development. But not even one FreeBSD ftp server!! No one interested there to set up an ftp.in.FreeBSD.org server? Or is the FreeBSD community in India simply too tiny?

rmsg problem
Hi, I've installed /usr/ports/net/rmsg and started the rmsgd on two of my computers. I've also set mesg y for each one.

dhcpd and windows9x
I got a problem with DHCP with Windows9x. The problem is I configured DHCP on my FreeBSD 4.7 box successfully. And Windows 2000/XP workstations get dynamic IPs alright and everything works fine. But Windows 9x doesn't get IP from my DHCP-server. I heard that I should put down some lines on my FreeBSD server to make Windows 9x get DHCP leases. Any idea about it?

That is the really important thing: there shouldn't be any other traffic on the system. Do everything step by step and keep a logfile to check if everything worked o.k. .

linux-apps can't find libs
Hi! I don't know if something went wrong with my last pkgdb -F , but now my linux applications can't find some lib files anymore although they are still on my system. For example linux-mozilla looks for libXi.so.6 which lives in /usr/X11R6/lib/ and xmupad tries to find libXm.so.2 which exists in /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/ The only suspicious thing I found is a link inside /compat/linux/usr/lib it is called X11 and points ... nowhere. Does anybody have any idea what might have caused this, or perhaps where this link X11 should point to?

re: re: weird mouse reaction 5.1
I went ahead and enabled the mouse..removed all but the moused enable option, loaded enlightenment.

openssl and key generation
Hello, I'm trying to use openssl to do encryption with some files and to create a key for postfix for use in authenticated smtp.

Hello. I'm running pcm on Thinkpad 600 (FreeBSD 4.9 RC3) without any problem. It looks like your kernel is compiled with option PNPBIOS, these devices that "unknown, cannot assign resources" are unknown PNP devices, usually of no importantance (from my previous experience). These PNP devices seems have nothing to do with pcm0, they are just luckly to be printed right after pcm. Try to play some music, use mixer(8).

amd documentation: why is it so confusing?
Hi, I have exported directories successfully. Thus I moved on to use amd for having the system mount this as it is needed. However, I am getting totally stuck in the amd manuals. Are the amd manuals really that bad, or is it me? For example: The FreeBSD handbook mentions amd in one sentence, by referring to the manual pages of amd and amd.conf. So all I have are the manual pages on the amd commands and files. The amd manual talks about a map file, but there's nowhere information to be found on what the structure of such a map file is. Is the creation of the amd-map file too trivial, or so complicated that nobody dares explaining it? Anyone who can point me to better help on this? Thanks!

Checking out some sample driver sources would be even better :) For -STABLE (RELENG_4), [PCI-]drivers are located in the kernel source tree, here: /usr/src/sys/pci (PCI drivers) /usr/src/sys/dev (mixed ISA and PCI drivers) Reading the man page pci(4) [man 4 pci] won't hurt either. As with every device driver, the recommended (or at least proved) way is to take an existing, simple driver, and modify it to suit your needs. Kernel interfaces are documented in intro(9) and related section 9 man pages (ls /usr/share/man/man9) A good introduction on writing device drivers for FreeBSD is in the Documentation. Among others: * Developers' Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html * FreeBSD Architecture Handbook (esp. Section II: Device Drivers): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html (You may want to play with a KLD module, which exercises the PCI API: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/pci.html) * PCI Special Interest Group (specs etc... for PCI bus) http://www.pcisig.com/ esp. this: http://www.pcisig.com/specifications/conventional > > 3)Can the driver developed for other unix operating system e.g. VxWorks > > can be imported into the FreeBSD and compiled without major code change? > > AFAIK this is something that is not really possible on any operating system. > This is becuase changes to what header files and need to be made and ect. As to > the extent of what changes are required, I guess that varies from what it is and > whatever... but I never messed with this befor so I have no clue... A device driver is always part of the kernel program. It runs in the same address space as the kernel, and must interact with both the kernel and the hardware in a very specific manner. A driver will e.g. need to call some kernel functions to report data, or send notifications. Or it may register a timer, etc... These kernel functions (in FreeBSD, look at directory /usr/share/man/man9) differ from OS to OS. FreeBSD's functions are completely different to, say, Linux' functions or Win32s/Windows API calls. That's a reason why writing device drivers is completely dependant upon a specific kernel. Ah, and don't forget to use a development machine. Coding mistakes in device drivers WILL almost always panic(9) the kernel, and under unlucky circumstances trash the filesystem with it! [Same under Linux or any other OS] Good luck and happy hacking! -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's all correct, but unfortunately the discussion isn't comprehensive enough. Since transfers tend to be on block boundaries (but there's no requirement), it's a good idea to have all blocks on a single platter. Otherwise transfers can get broken into two, with minor performance implications. I'm currently tending towards a stripe size of 496 kB. ahd1: PCI error Interrupt >> Dump Card State Begins < ahd1: Dumping Card State at program address 0x94 Mode 0x22 >> This is possibly related.

Netscape won't start. Bad magic libXt.so.6
Greetings: I have FreeBSD 4.3 Stable running on an old laptop. I pretty much have everything working they way I want it. I did have Netscape working at one point. Seems to be Netscape Communicator 4.74-US. Now I use Mozilla (5.0.8.1), which works just fine. Netscape does not start up. I try from the pull-down menu of my window manager (FVWM2) and nothing happens. Trying to start Netscape from the command line of of an Xterm: $/usr/local/bin/netscape results in the following error message: /usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6: minor version -1 older than expected 0, using it anyway ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6" I seem to have a couple of extras libXt.so.6 files buried deep in /usr/compat/linux/usr, but I don't know if swapping one of them would be a good idea. I don't know how to determine their minor version numbers or the quality of their magic numbers. Both Netscape and Mozilla are packages installed from the FreeBSD 4.3 CDROM. Could I just try pkd_delete on Netscape and reinstall it with pkg_add? I don't want to risk breaking Mozilla trying to fix Netscape. I am not subscribed to this mailing list.

pcm, cbb problems in 5.1 w/Thinkpad
aI've been trying to get FreeBSD 5.1 running on an inherited Thinkpad 600 (my first foray into both laptops and the 5.x tree), and I have stumbled a little bit in properly configuring the kernel. I have not found any solutions in the archives for these, so any suggestions would be heartily appreciated (especially ones that work). First off, I included the line device pcm in my kernel, compiled, and installed. The result (as reported by dmesg) was as follows: pcm1: on isa0 device_probe_and_attach: pcm1 attach returned 6 unknown: can't assign resources (port) unknown: can't assign resources (port) unknown: can't assign resources (port) unknown: can't assign resources (port) I then tried putting the following lines in device.hints (though this file is one of the aspects of 5.1 I'm still unfamiliar with): hint.pcm.0.at="isa" hint.pcm.0.irq="5" hint.pcm.0.drq="1" hint.pcm.0.flags="0x0" The result was the same.

I trying to bring up a file server a system with a 1.5GHz AMD Athlon, 256MB RAM, an older AHA2940 SCSI card with an IBM DDYS-T18350N hard drive. The hard drive is connected to the second channel (the Ultra-wide channel) on the 2940. During the boot process (from the dmesg) the machine stops with a SCSI Status Error (Check Condition) saying it refuses Tagged commands. The boot system appears to then go into untagged mode and finds that the SCSI card has been RESET. There follows a dump of the card, which I have attached here. Could this be because the data rate frequency is set too high? I lowered it from 20MB/s to 16MB/s, but I could go as low as 10MB/s. On the other hand, that may have nothing to do with the problem. This is kind of a shot in the dark, I know... but someone out there in FreeBSD land might have seen something like this before. Please forgive the long message. -Lyman Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: >> Dump Card State Begins < Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: ahc0: Dumping Card State in Message-in phase, at SEQADDR 0x1bf Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Card was paused Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: ACCUM = 0x0, SINDEX = 0x31, DINDEX = 0xc0, ARG_2 = 0x8 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: HCNT = 0x0 SCBPTR = 0x7 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCSISIGI[0xe6]:(REQI|BSYI|MSGI|IOI|CDI) ERROR[0x0] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCSIBUSL[0x80] LASTPHASE[0xe0]:(MSGI|IOI|CDI) SCSISEQ[0x12]:(ENAUTOATNP|ENRSELI) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SBLKCTL[0x2]:(SELWIDE) SCSIRATE[0x0] SEQCTL[0x10]:(FASTMODE) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SEQ_FLAGS[0xc0]:(NO_CDB_SENT|NOT_IDENTIFIED) SSTAT0[0x7]:(DMADONE|SPIORDY|SDONE) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SSTAT1[0x3]:(REQINIT|PHASECHG) SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SIMODE0[0x0] SIMODE1[0xac]:(ENSCSIPERR|ENBUSFREE|ENSCSIRST|ENSELTIMO) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SXFRCTL0[0x88]:(SPIOEN|DFON) DFCNTRL[0x4]:(DIRECTION) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: DFSTATUS[0x6d]:(FIFOEMP|DFTHRESH|HDONE|FIFOQWDEMP|DFCACHETH) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: STACK: 0x144 0x0 0x191 0x199 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB count = 70 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Kernel NEXTQSCB = 69 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Card NEXTQSCB = 69 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: QINFIFO entries: Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Waiting Queue entries: 15:32 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Disconnected Queue entries: 8:34 11:36 5:2 3:59 13:53 6:41 0:15 10:8 1:38 12:35 9:9 2:1 4:40 14:33 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: QOUTFIFO entries: Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Sequencer Free SCB List: 7 Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: Sequencer SCB Info: Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 0 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0xf] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 1 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x26] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 2 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x1] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 3 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x3b] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 4 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x28] Dec 2 21:10:55 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 5 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x2] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 6 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x29] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 7 SCB_CONTROL[0x10]:(MK_MESSAGE) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0xff] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 8 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x22] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 9 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x9] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 10 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x8] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: 11 SCB_CONTROL[0x64]:(DISCONNECTED|TAG_ENB|DISCENB) SCB_SCSIID[0x87]:(TWIN_CHNLB) Dec 2 21:10:56 Cogitek-UX2 kernel: SCB_LUN[0x0] SCB_TAG[0x24] Dec 2 21:10:56 Cog

PPP redial
Hey I would like to know whether anyone has any idea on how to set the redial option in ppp on freebsd to no-redial. I have checked the man page and tried various options. Setting the redial number to 0, means infinite redials, till it connects. I dont want that. You cannot set the value to a negative number, i also tried that. I want to turn off all redialing, not have it at like 1, cause as soon as it does reconnect, the redial counter is cleared, so if it makes a succesful connection, and is then cutoff, and makes a new connection, in less than a second or so, it will do this ad-infinitum. Which is not what i want. My setup is freebsd 4.9-pre1. Using ppp and isdnd - 128k ISDN line, with an internal asuscom isdn-ta adapter, pci.

I am also somewhat new to GIS, but getting better each day with it. I have built quite a few maps for display over the net, and set up the map server to send to the net as well, so at this time, I am a jack of all trades and a master of none, in the GIS realm. It prolly makes sense to keep this off-list, unless others want it there. Even with that, we should stay off list, I think, as it is not germain to FreeBSD. What I can do, is hold our mail on a web site for future reference for those who might like to follow in our footsteps.

DHCP and ancontrol!
Hi, I have an Compaq laptop (2100ca model), I've installed FreeBSD 4.9! I'm starting to play with my Cisco Aironet 350 Series! I Know that DCHP and an work not so fine at bootstrap since the interface is not able to get the address. Not a problem I made a script! But each time that a to a change with ancontrol the interface doesn't work anymore. Each time I have to kill the dhclient and to restart it! But the worst think is that if a want to set an0 in this way ancontrol -i an0 -M 1 to enable monitor of 802.11, the DHCP stops work, even if I kill the process and restart it.

4.9 install CD won't boot on Toshiba Tecra 8000
I've burned a 4.9 ISO onto a CD-R and it won't boot on my Tecra 8000! This CD will boot on another PC but just not on this one. Also, the Toshiba CAN and DOES boot other CDs. For example, I was able to boot from CD and install Mandrake 9.2 on the Tecra. So I'm not sure why this particular CD won't boot on the Tecra. Any ideas? I don't have a floppy drive so I'm not sure how else to install FreeBSD. Can I install FreeBSD from Linux (Mandrake 9.2)? Are there any other options I should consider?

RE: network security sysctl mib's
Thank you for responding with pointers to where I can find some very limited documented info on the MIB's I asked about. No where does any of the doc sources say when these MIB's get control so I set up an test to find out myself. I have 24/7 connection using Adelphia cable. A while back when I was installing a fresh install of FBSD 4.7 I enabled log_in_vain MIB before I had an firewall enabled and the log_in_vain MIB started to display on the root console messages about log_in_vain attempts. This is what the log_in_vain MIB is suppose to do. After enabling IPFILTER firewall the log_in_vain console messages stopped. Yesterday after receiving your replies, I set up a little test on my test bench. I installed an FBSD 4.9 version basic setup and enabled just the log_in_vain MIB. With in an hour I had log_in_vain console messages. I then enabled the IPFILTER load module in rc.conf with only 2 rules which blocked and logged every thing. The log_in_vain messages stopped. I also tried same test compiling IPFILTER into the kernel and that also stopped the log_in_vain messages. The only conclusion one can draw from the test results is that IPFILTER gets access to the packets before the log_in_vain Mib does. To extrapolate on this, it would indicate the other network security Mibs I pointed out in my original post are in the same boat as log_in_vain. The remaining question then is does the IPFW firewall work the same way. If it does then all those network security Mib's only have effect on FBSD systems that are not running an firewall. Today I an going to run my test again this time using IPFW to verify my conclusions. It's my opinion that in today's world of such emphasis on network security that an clear understand of these MIB's are absolutely necessary, indispensable, requisite information that has to be disseminated to the FBSD community and not buried in some obscure, very hard to find place like it currently is. Here is the documentation I created in the sysctl.conf file. What do you think about it? # # # The sysctl.conf file contains MIB's to change the default setting of # internal options of the kernel at boot up time. These Mib's control # how network packets are handled after IPFW or IPFILTER firewall # returns the packet to the kernel. Some of these MIB's may seem # like they are doing the say thing, but because there is no FBSD # provided documentation on the order these MIB's get control, they # all get enabled here and we let the kernel do it's thing. # # NOTE: Some of these MIB's can also be set in rc.conf and or the kernel # source. This will not hurt anything. # # Redirect attacks is the purposeful mass issuing of redirects. # In a normal network, redirects to the end stations should not be required. # To defend against this type of attack both the sending and accepting of # redirect should be disabled". The first statement below enables the MIB # to drop all inbound icmp redirect packets without returning any response. # The second statement turns off the logging of redirect packets because # there in no limit and this could fill up your logs consuming your whole # hard drive. But there is no information about where the redirect packets # get logged. The last statement changes the FBSD default about allowing # redirects to be sent from this system to the internet from yes to no. # This option is ignored unless the host is routing IP packets, and # should normally be enabled (=1) on all systems # man icmp(4) and inet(4) and man ip(4) do not contain info about these MIB. # man sysctl(3) does have info on ip.redirect net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect=1 net.inet.icmp.log_redirect=0 net.inet.ip.redirect=0 # Source routing is another way for an attacker to try to reach non routable # addresses behind your box. It can also be used to probe for information # about your internal networks. These functions come enabled as part of the # standard FBSD core system. The following will disable them. # man inet(4) and man ip(4) do not contain any information on these MIBs. net.inet.ip.sourceroute=0 net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute=0 # To protect your box from the well publicized SMURF attack. This attack # works by sending ICMP 8 0 (ECHO REQUEST) messages to a broadcast address # from a spoofed address. The host should not propagate directed broadcasts. # The following statement sets the default to do not answer broadcasts. # =1 means, answer an ICMP echo request to a broadcast or multicast address. # man sysctl(3) has some info. # man inet(4) and man icmp(4) do not contain any information on these MIBs net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=0 # To change the system behavior when connection requests are received # on TCP or UDP ports where there is no socket listening.

Assuming this is intentional (you didn't update the whole ports tree for some reason?) then there's no problem.

I can see two reasons for this implementation: 1) It's easier to implement. Of course, one could use a data structure that grows dynamically, but that would be an additional source of error, and it might be less efficient. 2) For most purposes, 16 gids per uid should be more than enough. > and what can be if i increase this value and make "make World" I'd say yes.

Yes, everything apart from M$'s PLAIN method will perform some sort of encryption. If your mail relay supports SSL/TLS, you should definitely rebuild your sendmail installation with the support for it, since some of the authentication protocols don't use real encryption by only scramble the login handshake a bit. If sendmail is aware of TLS, it will automatically make use of it if it's available on the remote end. Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The reason I've posted this is that I've lost about 50G of date after an MB crash as on the new MB I've got fsck -> CAN NOT FIND SUPERBLOCK for other slices that / and I don't end-up to repeat that again (and it was done with sysinstall).

I > want to be sure that I can move this disk to another machine with > anouter BIOS and the system still boots up. > > I've used sysinstall to make partitions and the result is bellow: The basic and general answer to most of this is that nowdays with modern disks, the Cylinder/Head/Sector values are essentially fiction. They are based on values that can no longer be used with larger disks and the system just generates values to make things happy. The controllers are able to map the "absolute" sector number to the correct place on the disk - which, bny the way, might even be remapped due to sector errors and you don't even know it; it doesn't tell you about those until there are more bad sectors than it has spares for remapping. Just go by the total number of sectors. Let fdisk do its thing. It does it right. Do not try to set any Cylinder/Head/Sector values. Ignore that part of things. For all practical purposes, that part of things is obsolete. Even though some parts of the system still fiddle with it, nothing really happens with it. About the only thing it might want is for slices to begin and end on cylinder boundaries and since you really can't control those, just use the numbers it gives you as a divider to make sure your proposed slice size comes out even and then go with it. So, choose the slice sizes you want by total number of blocks/sectors and then use the -t switch to see what happens just to make sure the sizes work out the way you want and then trust fdisk to do what is right. > it# fdisk ad0 Try doing" "fdisk -s ad0" To read the disk information.

FreeBSD DRIVER DEVELOPMENT
Dear Sir/Madam, I have requirement to develop driver for the PCI based hardware interface using FreeBSD Unix system. Would you please advise on the following:- 1)What tools are available to develop driver for x86 machine using C? 2)Suitable package including the operating system, tools and books etc? 3)Can the driver developed for other unix operating system e.g. VxWorks can be imported into the FreeBSD and compiled without major code change?

Missing machdep.hlt_logical_cpus on hyperthreading..

fdisk question (long)
Hope someone will have the pacince to read all this ... I have a 120G HDD, in the BIOS is set as LBA. I've RTFM as much as I could, but there still are some things I clearly don't understand. I want to be sure that I can move this disk to another machine with anouter BIOS and the system still boots up. I've used sysinstall to make partitions and the result is bellow: it# fdisk ad0 *** Working on device /dev/ad0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=232578 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=232578 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 497952 (243 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 30/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 6 (0x06),(Primary 'big' DOS (>= 32MB)) start 498015, size 41929650 (20473 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 31/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 42427665, size 192008880 (93754 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: Q1: How can the partition 3 end up before beginning ?

We have the standard vipower racks that have 3 fans and the sliding on/off switch. The drives are hosted off a standard promise 2 channel ata card, non-raid. We have a script that dismounts the drive then atacontol disconnects it. We then turn off the power via the switch on the rack and yank the drive out. No need to power down. Putting it in is just the opposite. Put in, turn on and run a script that atacontrol turns it on and then mounts it. We have been using it for about a month without a problem. We are testing it in preparation to use it as a replacement for our nightly backup to tape drives. We will still archive to tape or optical for long term data storage. It looks like as with many other things in the freebsd world it just works. The only potential problem with the whole setup is that we will be rotating the disks every day off site and we are not sure about how the drive trays and the disks will handle the constant moving around and plugging in and out. If you are interested send me an e-mail in say march and I can tell you how the first couple of months have been. Hopefully it will work, or at least we can make it work with a few mods. We stand to save about $2AUD as opposed to a tape drive and media. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I might have misunderstood, but on the vinumvm.org website there is quite a comprehensive discussion on stripesizes and they conclude that larger stripesizes help increase throughput. They also discuss the size not being a power of 2, because that might cause stripes to end up on the same disk, which decreases performance... > >>ahd1: PCI error Interrupt > Dump Card State Begins < > >>ahd1: Dumping Card State at program address 0x94 Mode 0x22 > This is possibly related.

I did some tests, this time with Bonnie++, on vinum, scsi, ide, and vinum with big stripes and small stripes. I'm busy comparing them ;) But still, I doubt if bonnie++ is a good test, and I have a hard time interpreting the results. I can publish the results somewhere, in a while.

I would say that is a problem with the tool you are using, in that it does not seem to be aware of the existence of non-breaking spaces, or treat them specially. I think that NBSP should be considered as a space (if nothing else the very name "non-breaking space" implies that it is a space, albeit a not a normal space), but it should not be considered as a word-separator. Unfortunately many programs (and many standards for that matter) assume that all types of whitespace are word-separators as well, which they probably shouldn't do. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

help needed with sasl and postfix
i am a newbiee in freebsd an i am trying to set up af mail server with postfix mysql amavis razor squirrelmail sasl imap i have tryed to follow this link http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00029.asp but i had to skeep the the start and whent on to installing the progs going to harden it later first i want it to work Also add this in the beginning of your recipient restrictions ($:~)=> permit_sasl_authenticated, this wrong but what shall there stand then ($:~)=> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/postfix/ssl/post.rand count=1 2>/dev/null and the answer is dd: unknown oprand 2 Cyrus SASL/TLS And Postfix SSL let's get SASL2 Installed now. ($:~)=> cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2 ; make install clean Now go ahead and edit postfix's main.cf so we can tell it to start utilizing the TLS features. Add in the following somewhere near the bottom: #TLS smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/post.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/post.pem smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/post.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 3 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom enable_sasl_authentication = yes smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes Also add this in the beginning of your recipient restrictions ($:~)=> permit_sasl_authenticated, Here we create our postfix SSL Stuff ($:~)=> mkdir /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl ($:~)=> chmod 700 /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl Next we create our SSL certificates for postfix ($:~)=> cd /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl ($:~)=> vi pst.cnf The contents of pst.cnf are: RANDFILE = /etc/postfix/ssl/post.rand [ req ] default_bits = 1024 encrypt_key = yes distinguished_name = req_dn x509_extensions = cert_type prompt = no [ req_dn ] C=countryName Two letters! ST=stateOrProvinceName L=localityName O=organizationName OU=OrganizationalUnitName CN=commonName emailAddress=emailAddress [ cert_type ] nsCertType = server Be sure to enter the correct options. Next we generate our SSL certificates.

That's also my opinion. Let's explain the whole story: I'm reformatting my email messages with textproc/par, and I noticed since I'm using FreeBSD that all non-breaking spaces are converted to spaces during filtering, just because isspace(160) is true. Of course, if I put non-breaking spaces in my text, I'm not expecting the lines to be broken on them, and I don't want them to be filtered out, because nbsps make sense when used appropriately. After a while, I discovered that the issue is related to locales. And IMHO it makes sense not to consider nbsp as a space. Where shall I report the problem?

Thanks again for any > opinions/suggestions. >> If I understand this and your previous emails on this subject, you began with this MBR partition/slice table arrangement: ad0s1 XP ad0s2 FreeBSD and everything worked fine. Then you changed the MBR partitions to: ad0s1 XP ad0s2 Debian swap ad0s3 Debian / ad0s4 FreeBSD and FreeBSD would not boot correctly because the file /etc/fstab, created during the initial FreeBSD installation process, still had "/dev/ad0s2" where it now needed to have "/dev/ad0s4" because you renumbered its MBR partition. Then you fixed that and everything seemed to work fine until you decided to reuse the XP partition for more FreeBSD disk space. So you changed your MBR partition table to: ad0s1 FreeBSD (addtitional file system space) ad0s2 Debian swap ad0s3 Debian / ad0s4 FreeBSD (the operating system) and FreeBSD would no longer boot. This might be due to boot1 confusion. Each partition in the MBR has a flag byte and a type byte. The 0x80 bit in the flag byte marks the partition as "active". Normally at most one partition has the active bit set. A non-interactive MBR bootstrap program typically boots whichever partition has the active bit set. The FreeBSD boot1 program, the program loaded by the MBR bootstrap, is not hardwired with the number of the MBR partition in which it was installed (perhaps it ought to be). Instead it uses the first MBR partition of FreeBSD type with the active bit set. If no FreeBSD MBR partition has the active bit set, the boot1 program chooses the first FreeBSD MBR partition. This normally works correctly even if you have more than one bootable FreeBSD MBR partition because the FreeBSD boot0 MBR program normally rewrites the MBR record with the appropriate active bit set before it invokes the FreeBSD boot1 program. You say that you are using Debian lilo for your MBR bootstrap program rather than the FreeBSD boot0 program. I don't know much about lilo, but I am guessing that it does not set the active partition in the MBR partition table before it boots a partition. Then the boot1 program tries to load the boot2 program from ad0s1 instead of ad0s4. Workaround: you can make ad0s4 the only active FreeBSD partition with the fdisk program. If nothing else changes that, boot1 will correctly boot ad0s4.
