Re: Why BSD?

2004-01-23 Thread Puna
It's also about quality of the underlying work.  On average, Linux base 
code runs 10% faster under FreeBSD.

Linux works toward patches for what everyone wants because it competes 
for the Windows market share.  FreeBSD works toward solutions because it 
competes with no one.

Honestly though Jeff - You sound like an experienced user, at the risk 
of starting the war again, It really boils down to a lot of personal 
preference.  We use freebsd because we like freebsd, we like the 
communitiy, etc, etc, etc.  My choice boils down to 2 things.

/usr/ports/.../... # make install

and

/usr/src # make world(ish)

 From the server standpoint, if you know what your doing, given enough 
time, you can do pretty much anything you could want to with either.

The OS can't execute non-FreeBSD binaries. Perhaps you need to talk to

FreeBSD/FDisk geometry problems - SOLVED!

2004-01-23 Thread Keith Kelly
I've found a bug in FDisk which is responsible for all the problems I've had 
trying to get FreeBSD installed.  I also found a work-around, and I'm happy 
to report I'm typing this message from Konquerer inside FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE 
right now.

Basically, the problem is that FreeBSD's FDisk and the motherboard BIOS 
independently calculate a set of CHS values (Cylinders/Heads/Sectors) based 
on the total sector count of the disk, but they do it in different ways and 
thus end up with different values.

My hard drive is a Maxtor 5T040H4.  This is a 40GB ATA/100 IDE drive.  
Maxtor reports the physical geometry as 79408/16/63, which yields a total of 
80043264 sectors.  With a large drive like this, the catch is that 79408 is 
too big to fit in the "cylinders" field in the BIOS, so to make the drive 
work, you have to calculate an "equivalent" set of CHS values (decrease the 
cylinders value,  while keeping the total sector count the same).  For 
anyone who doens't know, the formula is like this: cylinders x heads x 
sectors = total sector count.

My motherboard (MSI KT4 Ultra) BIOS calculates 19618/16/255 (80041440 total 
sectors).  FreeBSD's FDisk calculates 4982/255/63 (80035830 total sectors).  
You'll notice that the total sector count is not the same, and you may 
wonder why.  It's because of rounding error and the fact that the 
calculations were done in reverse.  In theory, either set of CHS values 
should work fine, but the problem is that my BIOS picks one set and FDisk 
chooses another set -- and FDisk refuses to accept and use the set my BIOS 
calculated.

For instance, my BIOS starts with the REAL total sector count of 80043264.  
It assumes a sector count of 255, and it assumes a heads count of 16.  So it 
calculates cylinders as 80043264/(255x16)=19618.44706, which rounds down to 
19618.  My BIOS does all this calculation automatically for me because I 
chose "Auto" for the drive in the BIOS.

FDisk also starts with the REAL total sector count of 80043264.  But it 
assumes a sector count of 63, and it assumes a heads count of 255.  So it 
calculates cylinders as 80043264/(63x255)=4982.462745, which rounds down to 
4982.

So, the problem is that FDisk makes *different* assumptions than my BIOS 
does about what the sectors and heads values should be.  I ran across some 
information on a BIOS manufacturer's site which claimed that for "LBA mode" 
SCSI drives (more accurately known as "LBA-Assist translation mode"), that 
it is safe to assume that sectors should be 63 and heads should be 255.  
Given that FreeBSD's roots and developer community seems historically 
SCSI-centric, I can see how these assumptions would have been picked up and 
used in FDisk and considered acceptable.  But these assumed values are 
clearly not correct for how CHS gets calculated by many PC BIOSes for IDE 
drives.

Furthermore, I believe that the reason FDisk rejects the manually entered 
CHS of 19618/16/255 is because either (1) it tries to enforce those bad 
assumptions about heads and sectors, or (2) it gets confused by the rounding 
error.  In other words, in the case of rounding error, FDisk may be taking 
the manually-entered values, multiplying them together, and seeing that it 
doesn't exactly match (or come close enough to, in its humble but flawed 
opinion) the total sector count for the drive.  The way Fdisk's geometry 
validation ought to work is like this:

- Divide the total sector count of the drive by (H*S), where H and S are the 
user-supplied values.
- Round the result to the nearest whole number.
- Compare that result to the user-supplied value for cylinders.
- If the result matches, accept the user's input as good.

I hope that a developer somewhere can take this information and put it to 
good use.  I would be very happy to test a fix if someone can implement it.

In the meantime, the workaround for anyone experiencing this problem is to 
go into their BIOS and set the hard drive to "User" mode, and manually enter 
the same C/H/S settings that FDisk calculated for the drive.  Unfortunately, 
I think this means that if you have to repartition and reformat the entire 
drive, since the BIOS will now be addressing the drive using different C/H/S 
settings and will be unable to read any partitions that were formatting 
using different C/H/S addressing.  So while there is a workaround, it is far 
from an ideal user experience.

Adaptec 2400A Performance

2004-01-23 Thread Rishi Chopra
I've run some imperical tests on the Adaptec 2400A raid controller 
(results and setup can be seen here):

http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra/RaidResults.html

I was rather disappointed with the results.  Can anyone suggest what 
might be causing such slow disk speeds, or whether these speeds are out 
of the ordinary for a 4-disk FreeBSD RAID5 installation?  I have done 
nothing to configure the card aside from striping the array in BIOS; 
FreeBSD seems to automatically detect the disks.

I once ran a 2-disk RAID-0 installation on Win2k which was 6-7 times 
faster on sequential read/write tests (60-70MB/sec), hence my dismay.

Re: CPU usage goes way up on 5.1 when memory is added

Well, measuring it isn't really an issue as the problem is so drastic, 
there's no trouble in identifying it.  I have taken some vmstat and iostat 
data over time that can be used for comparison, but it really isn't 
necessary in this case.  The CPU usage isn't even close to normal with the 
additional memory.

Since this system is in heavy use, I haven't had the time to do a lot of 
trial and error with different kernel options yet.  I will certainly try to 
schedule that soon.  I was hoping that somebody on the list would have an 
idea as to why this happens.  I really can't form a relationship in my head 
between the additional RAM and the strange CPU behavior.  So I was hoping 
someone more familiar with freebsd 5.1 could help me out.  I know that the 
ULE scheduler is still experimental, so that was going to be my first choice 
for rolling back, but I'm still interested in hearing from anyone else who 
may have seen similar behavior.

I'm trying to get this sorted out before my linux zealot friends harass me 
to no end ;-)

Thanks again,

One other possibility: if you don't want to set up NFS for some reason,
rsync is an exquisitely nice system for synchronizing directory trees.  You
can cvsup one machine, then use rsync to update the "children" on your LAN.

FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE buildworld failure.

2004-01-23 Thread erek
I cvsuped today using tag RELENG_5_2 (i'm already using 5.2-RELEASE), i
noticed there was only documentation changes, and no real source changes,
i was preparing to recompile everything using some different
optimizations:
"
erek# cat /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS+= -pipe -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -ffast-math
-msse -mfpmath=sse,387
CXXFLAGS+= -pipe -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow
-ffast-math   -msse -mfpmath=sse,387
COPTFLAGS+= -pipe -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow
-ffast-math -msse -mfpmath=sse,387
"
Previously i had unroll-loops in my optimizations and i heard this could
actually be slower on modern CPUs, so i removed it.

During the buildworld I get this VERY odd error:

Perhaps I need to rephrase that.  You need to follow the -CURRENT

Yeah, you would _think_ that would be the way to configure things.  But when

I configure the two devices that way (CD-ROM as slave, hard drive as 
master), sysinstall refuses to mount the CD, giving me an error about 
"CD/DVD drive not found!".  It's worth noting that no other OS I've run on 
this same PC ever had any trouble finding the CD-ROM drive when it was 
configured as the slave.

To get around _that_ problem, I had to configure the CD-ROM as the master 
and the hard drive as the slave.  With the CD-ROM as the master, sysinstall 
is able to actually detect the CD/DVD drive, but then I run into this 
nonsense with fdisk refusing to detect or accept the correct disk geometry 
for the hard drive.  It's worth noting that I've never had to manually 
specify hard drive geometry settings in the installer for any other OS I've 
installed on this PC.  They figured it out automatically and worked fine.

If I just let fdisk use its suggested defaults for the geometry and proceed 
with the install, then when the system reboots off the hard drive I get 
"Missing operating system".  It's worth noting that I've never seen that 
severe of an error following any other OS installation claiming it was 
successful.

So far, I'm really disappointed by FreeBSD.  If FreeBSD lacks the logic or 
detection to automatically figure all these things out and just work, that 
is a serious bug (whether due to a programmer mistake or poor software 
design).  I've _never_ had this much trouble getting an operating system 
installed on this particular PC.

If I can't get things working within about 1 more hour of tinkering, I'm 
going to abandon FreeBSD entirely, put my machine back together, and just 
use the drive as an extra NTFS filesystem for my personal files under 
Windows XP.

When people argue that Windows is easier, and that *nix isn't ready for the 
desktop, this is *exactly* the kind of problem that they are talking about. 
I hope any actual FreeBSD developers on these aliases wake up and take 
notice.

You can try going to

  http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html


   And do a search at the bottom of the page for "sendmail". The output
will show that the ports currently include sendmail 8.12.10

I can second that. Upgrading from one release of FreeBSD to another

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

2004-01-23 Thread Greg Lehey
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

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.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies l

Help figuring out port install...(custom install)

2004-01-23 Thread Jason Williams
I was going to test installing Horde's IMP3 through the FreeBSD ports tree. 
I wanted to test it out to see if it was a viable option for our company.
Before I go on, I should mention that I installed apache and mod_ssl by 
hand before hand (For a lot of reasons really :) ).

Anyway, I navigated to the port and quickly glanced at the make file.
Everything appeared to be working well, except it could not find the apache 
install on my server:

scarydaemon# make -DWITHOUT_LDAP -DWITH_CYRUS-IMAPD install clean
===>  Installing for imp-3.2.2
===>   imp-3.2.2 depends on file: /usr/local/www/horde/turba/index.php -

===>  Installing for turba-1.2.1
===>   turba-1.2.1 depends on file: /usr/local/www/horde/index.php - not found
===>Verifying install for /usr/local/www/horde/index.php in

===>Verifying install for /usr/local/sbin/apxs in /usr/ports/www/apache13
===>  Extracting for apache-1.3.29_1

It was not able to find /usr/local/sbin/apxs. But it is not located in that 
part of my system:

scarydaemon# find / -type f -name apxs -print
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
With that in mind, I was wondering if it is possible to some how hack the 
Makefile so it will find apxs on my system.
I've skimmed over the makefile, but have not found anything that will help 
me in figuring this out...

I thought i'd ask here, and get some help hopefully. :)

Thanks.

The ASCII image is part of a text file. I think it is found in /boot and

Slow USB performance

2004-01-23 Thread Gautam Gopalakrishnan
Hello,

I have a Jetflash 64MB USB memory stick and a Fuji Digital Camera.
USB is atrociously slow. Copying images from the camera is about
3.1 MB in 23 secs (138 kbytes/s). The memory stick is even worse.
3-4 MB take more than a minute.

Could this be because of same IRQ being assigned to USB host
controllers and n/w controllers? I tried modifying /boot/device.hints,
but not very sure what to change. The usb-bsd list and freebsd
usb faq have not said much. Any help appreciated.

CURL in PHP performance question

Running 4.9_REL with about 10 or so jails.

One of my users wants my to compile CURL so they can use it with PHP, which
is being run as an Apache module (not cgi).

I've never used it, but based on the way it reads, it seems like the

Am I worried about nothing or do I need to put my foot down so he doesn't

How are you trying to measure this?  Have you tried reverting to a
GENERIC kernel to isolate one of your non-default options that may be
causing the problem (or measurement artefact)?

Hi,

the same problem was on my side.
All (except one) VESA modes did not satisfy me.

But I found something:
Try the VESA_800x600 mode (see man vidcontrol) - to do so 
run vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600.

First you have to recompile your kernel with:
- options SC_OIXEL_MODE enabled (so you can use the raster text mode).
- compile the vesa support or simply load it with kldload vesa
- vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600.

If it is o.k. for you put in your /etc/rc.conf file:

allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600" and add to /boot/loader.conf:
vesa_load="YES" to load the vesa module at startup.

Installing Apache and mod_ssl

2004-01-23 Thread Jason Williams
Evening everyone...
Im just getting started with apache and mod_ssl. I was reading through the 
docs on the mod_ssl web site and it recommended downloading the source code 
for apache, mod_ssl and openssl.

My question is that I already have openssl installed on my test server. It 
is currently being used for my IMAP server and was installed as a dependency.

Now, reading the docs and the install (for mod_ssl), it actually wants you 
to point to the directory where you unzipped the source code for openssl. 
Since I already have openssl installed, is it possible to point it to the 
location on my computer? Or would I have to download the source code to a 
temp location and point to that location when installing mod_ssl?

I apprecate the help.

Cheers,

Jason

P.S. Besides the O'Reilly book for Apache, any other recommended books?

CPU usage goes way up on 5.1 when memory is added

2004-01-23 Thread Richard G. Roberto
Hi,

I've been running 5.1-RELEASE for quite some time on my dual PIII 333Mhz
Micron PC with 384MB of RAM and 670MB of swap.  Its a little low on memory
for what I'm now doing with it though, so I added 256MB of RAM.  The new
RAM gets recognized, and there are no obvious errors on the console or in
the logs, but every little thing drives the CPU utilization through the
roof and the system is unusable.  Even just typing "man ls" triggers it,
never mind trying to run ssh.  I remove the RAM, and it goes back to
normal.

I'm using a kernel with these relevent settings:

cpu I686_CPU
options SCHED_ULE
options COMPAT_43
options COMPAT_FREEBSD4
options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
options SMP
options APIC_IO
options LAZY_SWITCH

There are other settings, but these are the only ones that might be
related, I'm guessing.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this?  I've searched google as well as
the mailing list archives and can't really find anything similar.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Linux actually goes into a graphics mode and blits the characters onto
the screen, which is slow but works with any card that has a graphics
mode.  FreeBSD stays in text mode, which gets you a much faster console
but requires video card support.  "Cordula's Web" mentioned that you
need kernel support for this; make sure you have "options VESA" in your
kernel config file, or have loaded the vesa kernel module.

Can't they "talk" to each other without being connected to the

My own approach is to have a single source repository, and NFS-mount

Can't they "talk" to each other without being connected to the
Internet?  

My own approach is to have a single source repository, and NFS-mount
it on the other machines I want to update.

Thanks for replying.

In what sense does tcl 8.4 "come with 5.1" if it is not installed when I
install _everything_ from the 5.1 install CD?

This is what confuses me: How can tcl 8.4.3,1 be a 5.1 package if it
depends on packages that are not installed with the 5.1 release?  Sure,
any package can be a "5.1 package" as long as I upgrade enough other
packages.

Aren't packages bound to a given base system version precisely to avoid
this kind of "upgrade creep"?

tcl 8.4 presumably isn't on the install CD, like about 8000 other
packages that also do not fit.

The full set of packages is available on the FTP site.  It would take
about a dozen CDs to fit them all.

Why did you create this *-old *-new versions and not just

amadmin not in man pages (amanda)

2004-01-23 Thread sysadmin
I am installing amanda on a new client and I have noticed that amadmin is 
not in the man pages (and it should according to the amanda man page). This 
is true both with the package and the port.

For the package, it appears that the tarball just includes man pages for 
'amanda' 'amrecover' and 'amrestore'.

With the port, the 'make' (or 'make install') builds the man pages (in 
work/amanda-2.4.4/man) but eventually they are not /usr/local/man/. By the 
way, doing 'man -k amanda' gives no answer, even after 'makewhatis'.

My system : 5.1-RELEASE
package used : amanda-client-2.4.4,1
I have looked for a parameter to use with make install (--enable-something) 
but found nothing about the man pages.

Do Amanda users have the same problem ?

HEADS UP: gettext

2004-01-23 Thread Trevor Johnson
I've tried to update gettext in the ports collection, and a problem has
turned up.  As described to me by Joe Marcus Clarke, portupgrade will fail
because ports/devel/gettext (the new version which no ports use yet) is in
conflict with ports/devel/gettext-old (the previous version which I set
the ports to depend upon).

I believe that a line

HOLD_PKGS = ['gettext-*']

in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf may prevent portupgrade (but not
necessarily portversion) from trying to upgrade gettext.  Alternatively,
I've prepared a patch which bumps the libintl version and PORTREVISIONs of
ports that use gettext, so they depend on the new version.  It needs
testing and review.  It's at
http://people.freebsd.org/~trevor/ports/gettext-dependencies.diff>.

The updated gettext port may be temporarily "moved" to gettext-new and
ports/devel/gettext returned to version 0.12.1 which we've been using for
awhile.  Also, the new gettext port ought to be updated to 0.13.1.  I've
started work on that but I have to leave the computer now.

I suppose my video card supports it, since it always worked under Linux

Hot Swap hardware on FreeBSD?

2004-01-23 Thread Stephen P. Cravey
I'm trying to locate a good resource for creating hot swap capable servers with 
FreeBSD and Vinum.

Specifically, I'm trying to find out several things:

Are there resources somewhere that document this type of thing? Please?

Do I need controllers for SATA/SCSI that will handle the plugging/unplugging of 
drives, or do I just need to do a bus rescan (or the like) after the change and notify 
vinum? i.e. do i need something like an adaptec 2200S or will a 39320 work?

Is there anything in particular I should look for when buying hot swap chassis? Other 
than SCA for SCSI?

What about Hot swap with Fibre Channel?

What about using FreeBSD in a SAN where it's both serving drives and acting as a 
client?

Where can I find (recent) performance numbers for raid 0,1,5 comparisons?

What else should I know about this before attempting it?

Thank you.

That's the version of tcl 8.3 that comes with 5.1.  The version of tcl

calcru negative-time messages

2004-01-23 Thread RA Cohen
I have searched high and low for help with these negative-time
calcru messages...there is scant information out there, mostly a
paragraph in the troubleshooting section of the FreeBSD docs.
Most folks following the instructions there on later versions of
FBSD seem to not be successful in getting rid of the messages,
myself included. Therefore I have slid back to versions 4.8 or
4.9.

I believe in my case the messages relate to an AMD K6-2 chip and
motherboard. FBSD 5.1 and 5.2 exhibit the behavior; 4.8 and 4.9
do not on this hardware.

As I am writing this from my day job, and the unit in question
is currently built with 4.9 now anyway, I cannot give you the
exact message but if you google for 'calcru FreeBSD' you will
see what I am talking about.

Thanks in advance for your help!

usb port.  then when i plug in a usb floppy drive into the same port i 
am sucessfull.  i know they are 2 different devices but i think they 
also both use the same mount command "mount_msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/thumb".

when i try running this command when the thumbdrive is pluged in, i am 
getting "mount_msdos: /dev/da0: invalid argument"

with the thumbdrive plugged in when i run "fdisk /dev/da0" i get.

There is a FAQ on dealing with signal errors during buildworlds and etc. 
They are usually hardware related and the FAQ gives you an idea on how 
to determine if it is bad memory or what.

I think you also have to add this option to your relevant *.mc file like
so:

define(`confSERVICE_SWITCH_FILE', )

Re: DSL with User PPP and Static IP

2004-01-23 Thread Lance E. Lott
try adding this line to your ppp.conf file.

disable ipv6cp

See if that makes a difference.

Lance

At 01:47 PM 1/23/2004, you wrote:

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have implemented all the changes including disabling the IPFW firewall
NAT.  I simplified the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file and made sure it still worked
using the dynamic config of "set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
0.0.0.0".  I then proceeded to change that line to "set ifaddr 69.37.6.193
69.37.6.198 255.255.255.248".  It is my assumption that this will set my
address to .193, with a gateway of .198 and a netmask of .248.
After making these changes, tun0 is once again opened by a pid, but nothing
connects.  I am including updated copies of the ppp.conf file and
/var/log/ppp.log.

5.2 cvsup make buildworld error

2004-01-23 Thread Michael Clark
Sry if this double post I used the wrong address the first time.

This is the second computer I have had problems upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 on.
The first computer I had to format as it died during installworld and I was
unable to boot it.  

This computer died on make installworld as well.  After that I was unable to
use any basic commands, ls, ext.
Rebooted and it started up, and continues to run, but sendmail is dumping
constantly and I am unable to upgrade it to 5.2...

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am at a loss as to what to do with
this one.

5.2 cvsup make buildworld error

2004-01-23 Thread Michael Clark
This is the second computer I have had problems upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 on.
The first computer I had to format as it died during installworld and I was
unable to boot it.  

This computer died on make installworld as well.  After that I was unable to
use any basic commands, ls, ext.
Rebooted and it started up, and continues to run, but sendmail is dumping
constantly and I am unable to upgrade it to 5.2...

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am at a loss as to what to do with
this one.

Re: DSL with User PPP and Static IP

2004-01-23 Thread Jacob D. Hunt
Thanks for the suggestions.

I have implemented all the changes including disabling the IPFW firewall
NAT.  I simplified the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file and made sure it still worked
using the dynamic config of "set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
0.0.0.0".  I then proceeded to change that line to "set ifaddr 69.37.6.193
69.37.6.198 255.255.255.248".  It is my assumption that this will set my
address to .193, with a gateway of .198 and a netmask of .248.

After making these changes, tun0 is once again opened by a pid, but nothing
connects.  I am including updated copies of the ppp.conf file and
/var/log/ppp.log.

Thanks again for your help,

You may need to tweak your kernel config file,

For SA-2.6x, perl5.003 is fine. But as of yesterday, the developer advised
me that when SA-3.0 is released, perl5.6.1 is required and recommended --
see my earlier post.

I reported (within the last few days) such a problem with the port
against -STABLE, but it was fixed within hours.  4.8 uses the same
perl as 4.9 (5.005_03), so it's vastly unlikely you'll have any
problem with 4.8.  Of course, 4.8 isn't officially supported by the
latest ports, but I don't think you should have any problems.

Yes, I'm running FBSD-4.8p14 & I've recently updated SA-2.6x all the way to
the current SA-2.63.

Indeed, I had a 2-day fight with a break in a perl function that I finally
found that dealt with one of the learning DBs (Bayes). Specifically, the
locks on the DB became flaky. That suddenly occurred in 2.61_1. Thinking
more updates would cure it, no dice.

The log jam was causing a 30x jump (less than 1 sec to 30+) in the time to
process a message, and breaking the scans letting spam in.

After cleaning out the DB, all settled down again and messages are
processed in less than a sec again -- only an occasional spam slips in --
but Bayes DB needs to rebuild to be useful again too.

I've been told by one of the developers that SA-3.0 will require perl5.6.1.

BTW, this is the very first time I've experience any sort of (noticeable)
problem with SA and I've been using the program since SA-2.43. A great

a good ip subnet calculator with gui..!

2004-01-23 Thread Neal Hamilton
Is there any subnet calculators  with a gui for unixfreebsd? After 
hours of searching i could only find ipsc with a reference of gipsc but 
the ports are broken and the package i installed  does not 
have gipsc.  I usually use solar winds or boson ip tools on windows,, so 
if there is anything similar.

Thanks in ./adv

Re: freebsd 4.8 and the spamassassin 2.6x port

FreeBSD 4.8 should be recent enough that you can use a modern ports 
tree without the CONFLICTS feature causing problems, so use CVSUP to 
update your ports tree to the current version.  From there, install 
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8, and then run "use.perl port".

That should give you the latest version of Perl, from which you can 
then install the p5-Mail-SpamAssassin port (or spamass-milter, or 
amavisd, or whatever).  You can also try installing the software via 
"perl -MCPAN -e shell \;", and do an "install Mail::SpamAssassin", but 
the ports mechanism is better tested.

If you use find's -delete action instead of -exec, you can shorten the
window between finding and deleting.

Try VESA_132x43.  I'm not sure why all the modes aren't just WxH.  Your
card also needs to be able to support that vesa mode; you can run
"vidcontrol -i mode | grep T" to list the text modes your card can do.

Only if you want the ports that are reporting it.
(which you probably don't, if you don't have the dependencies present)

Get the whole ports tree?  [My guess is you're only getting part of it.]

Read through the top of the /etc/mail/Makefile.  There are make targets to
handle creating the .cf files and installing them (rebooting is definitely
*not* necessary).
