The PPD file you downloaded has the cupsomatic dependency in it, it's
not required by the cups base system.

Yes, you could create a separate port for it, although I think
cupsomatic may have been replaced by foomatic these days, which is
already in the ports (but it too is missing the foomatic-rip and
foomatic-gswrapper filter scripts).

RE: BIND 8.3 going insane on FreeBSD 4.9

[Richard van Vliet]

Be sure that jou server can recieve query's directly from the rootservers,
it happend at my place when the firewall blocked these rootname server
query's.

I had the same problem logs filling up in minutes...

Configure your private BIND server to use forwarders only, it wil then query
itself for its one zones and the forwarder for any other.

Install fastest_cvsup and choose one that has a low latency. It may not 
provide the shortest cvsup times but you can find a site that works. 
Cvsup13 doesn't respond and that may be a clue to not use it :).

It's some kind of permissions problem. For some reason user accounts and 
permissions are surprisingly difficult to get right in MySQL.

The fact that you get "Access denied for user" means that a connection 
is being opened, but that it couldn't be authenticated.

You need to check the DB-related settings in your applications. Check 
you have supplied the correct usernames and passwords.

Really - there's no substitute for seriously reading and digesting 
. 
There's a lot of information on there but it's really quite a 
complicated issue.

The thing to look for is whether you've granted the correct rights to 
the correct [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that MySQL defines [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be different things. If I remember correctly, 
connecting using the unix socket (not the networking TCP socket) will 
show as @my.hostname while connecting to the TCP socket on 127.0.0.1 
will show as @localhost.

I find it difficult everytime I set up a new application using MySQL 
myself. But it is possible to get your head around it!

Best of luck.

need suggestions on making a wireless network using bluetooth.

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. I'll make a small wireless network in my office in the coming month. 
Now I'm considering bluetooth instead of 802.11. In the office I have a 
freebsd server, my own notebook runs freebsd. Other computers run MAC OS 
and Windows.

* the office is not very big, just as big as the bluetooth signal can 
reach. There are confidential information in the office, I don't want 
anyone to get my data by just stopping a car in front of the office and 
listen network traffice with a notebook.

* I don't see any network traffic problem. Usually we just transfer emails, 
text documents and pictures. 

* In China, the 802.11 device market is not clear yet, I don't know what 
standard to follow (you surely know about the new Chinese spec on 802.11 
network). 

* We already have some bluetooth devices.

* Most of us use notebook computers. Notebook 802.11 cards are more 
expensive than bluetooth cards. 

* Some people in the office are going to buy GPRS enabled cell phone. If 
they buy bluetooth enabled GPRS phones, they can go surf the Internet 
outside the office through GPRS cell phone. This is cheaper than having 
both 802.11 card and GPRS card.

So I decide I'd better use bluetooth. Several questions:

* Is it possible to make a wireless network by using bluetooth devices? Can 
I have a bluetooth installed on the FreeBSD server, let it act as a 
switch/hub? Would this network be stable?

* I never see anyone setup a network in this way, would there be many 
unexpected problems?

I did some research on Boot It. It is a Windows solution. The MBR would
load code/data off of an MS filesystem. This is not what I am looking

Hm...if I had to guess, I'd say that either MySQL isn't running, or
phpBB/PostNuke haven't been configured correctly.

Try "ps auxw | grep mysql" and make sure it's running.  If not, the
start script should be /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh (I think).

Try connecting to it using the mysql client and the MySQL user name and
password you've set up for your programs:

$ mysql -u [MySQL user name] -p [database name]
Password: *

Finally, check the configuration for your programs and MySQL.  Is phpBB
trying to connect via TCP/IP?  If so, is MySQL set up to listen via
TCP/IP, or is it only on a file socket?  What about basics like the user
name and password?

Hope that helps...let me know how it turns out.

Disclaimer:  I haven't worked with 5.1 yet, but I have got FreeBSD to
work with this motherboard and the 3c940.  Also, I'm assuming that
you've tried all this *after* installing FreeBSD, and you're not just
doing this all from the install process.

First of all, you can list all the interfaces FreeBSD has detected by
running "ifconfig -a".  The driver for the 3c940 is the sk(4) driver,
which means that if it's been detected you'll see something like:

sk0: flags=8843 mtu 1500

If you see that, you've got it made.

If not, there's another couple things to try.  First, if you haven't
compiled your own kernel yet, you may have the sk driver around as a
loadable kernel module.  See if "ls /modules/*sk*" shows anything;
if you see something like "if_sk.ko", try "kldload if_sk" and then
"ifconfig -a" to see if it has shown up.

Another thing to try is compiling your own kernel.  Instructions can be
found in the handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html);
you'll want to include the sk device and whatever else it may need.

One final note:  this driver has had problems up until recently with
promiscuous mode, which among other things means problems picking up an
IP address by DHCP.  I had to grab the very latest code in order to get
it working; this is a fair amount of trouble, and you may want to
consider another card until the new driver makes it to a FreeBSD
release.

What model of ethernet card?  Again, try "ifconfig -a" to see what
shows up.  This will show you a lot of interfaces like "lo0" or
"xl1"; if you chop off the number and look at the man pages (ie, "man
xl"), you'll see what the device is.  With luck, one of them will be
your PCI card.

Let me know what happens, and good luck

Hugh

I've got the ppd from linuxprinting.org, but that wasn't the problem. The solution was 
to have a perlscript named cupsomatic. I've got it from a friend, put it in the filter 
directory and everything work fine. 
This script should be in the ports, or?

This is not an ntldr issue. I forgot to mention that it will load
Windows XP if I change the boot device to IDE-2 in the BIOS settings
(see complication below).

I would not bother worrying about the boot loader if I could change boot
devices easily from the BIOS settings. I would just change the boot
device to be IDE-2 when ever I wanted to use XP. However, there is one
complication. Here is what I have found with some experimentation:

My computer ignores the BIOS boot device settings. It will always try to
boot off the device it booted from last boot. If that device is no
longer present, it will then check the BIOS settings. I will clarify
with a situation.

I am in FreeBSD and I want to use Windows:
- Reboot
- Change boot device to IDE-2 in BIOS settings
- The BSD loader comes up
- Shutdown
- Disconnect Primary Master
- Turn on
- Windows XP now boots
- Shutdown
- Reconnect primary master 
- Turn on
- Windows XP boots, both drives are connected

Now that I am in Windows, I decide I want to go back to FreeBSD.
- reboot
- Change boot device to IDE-0
- Windows XP loads
- Shutdown
- disconnect secondary master
- Turn on 
- Now BSD boots
- shutdown
- reconnect secondary master
- BSD boots and I have both hard drives accessable (but only primary
master boots).

This is a BIOS issue. Maybe the BIOS is flakey  or something. This is
not a BSD issue, I am just giving a little background into why I want to
get this boot loader dual booting. The boot loader IS my fix to my
flakey BIOS.

Now what I want to do, is boot of the primary master all the time and
use a boot loader so I can dual boot.

I will research that. When I tried to install grub from ports, It gave
me a message "GRUB does not support booting from UFS (yet)." I do not
have an ext2 filesystem to install GRUB on.

I will also take a look at Kurt Claussen's suggestion of using BootIt
NG.

Thanx guys.

Normally it calls reboot(8).

But since this is a function of the syscons(4) driver,
you can disable (accidental) reboots by setting

 SC_DISABLE_REBOOT
This option disables the ``reboot'' key (by default, it is
Ctl-Alt-Del), so that the casual user may not accidentally reboot
the system.

in the kernel config file (great for unattended, publicly

ethernet interface has developed.  It's an Asus p4p800 motherboard
with 3C940 on the board.  (i'm suspect of this much integration)

At first, messing with Debian and Suse, the card worked fine.
When i sent to  installing FreeBSD no card was detected
by sysinstall->Configure->Networking->Interfaces.
Shouldn't it show up there?
ifconfig doesn't see it.
(i don't know how else to look for it)

I plugged in another reportedly good ethernet card into a 
PCI slot and no kernel probe detection there either, 
but do get a green (carrier ?) light, 
but no green light  on the motherboard NIC.

i've googled for 3C940 diagnostics.
don't know what to do next.
thanks for your group and any help.

It is easily done with FreeBSD.  I had it set up on a home network, 
doing DHCP to update the DNS with the hostname of the client when 
activated.  That way, it was easier to network test certain devices.  Do 
a "man bind" (I think that's the man page, can't recall for sure, but it 
is there somewhere).

This is assuming that you're talking about updating a BIND server that
you control; if you're talking about updating something like
"myplace.dyndns.org", or some other similar service, you'll want to
check with them to see what they recommend.
That is true.  If you control BIND, the world is your playground.  You 
might also want to take a look at SQLBIND, as it is BIND after being 
patched to run off of a database.  That could open up more options if 
you wish.

Also my isp is roadrunner, and they say that they don't 
allow web services to be run on dynamic ips.  Do they mean that they 
block the ports literally or does it just mean they frown upon it?

It means they aren't going to allow dynamic DNS updates to their DNS 
servers.  I work for an ISP, and the last thing I want to do is open up 
the DNS for dynamic updates.  That becomes a security nightmare.

BSD Used on a Storigen ES device

[Joe Lewis]

I have a question for you experts and guru's.  Have you ever used BSD on 
a Storigen device?  I find when I try to boot the device into 
5.1-RELEASE, after about 4 minutes, the device powers off and then 
restarts.  I am getting no log messages, which means no APM interrupt is 
occuring.  The device just "shuts off".  The motherboard is a Tyan 
Thunder LE S2510, with Serverworks III.  If an older, more 
production-secure OS would be better, I can do that, but would rather 
stand on the bleeding edge.

Now, the entire time, the LCD on the front is saying "Storigen \n 
booting...".  That leads me to believe that this device, if it does not 
get a specific interface call to tell it that we've booted, will reset 
in another attempt to boot successfuly.  Anybody used on of these with BSD?

Also, I'd also like to know if I can change that text, or even log to 
that LCD panel.  A curious mind I have.  Any ideas?

Again, it depends.  It might mean they will send a nasty email, or it
might mean it's firewalled off entirely.  To see if it's the latter, try
plugging your hostname into Netcraft and see if they can tell what
webserver you're running, or get a friend to portscan you.

Don't do this ^^^.  The correct permissions for /tmp should be 1777,

Your mysql configuration isn't very secure.

Try setting a umask of 022 for the owner of your mysql process, or else adjust

File Corruption

[Randy Grafton]

I originally posted this question to the Apache list and was strongly 
encouraged to try here. 

I have a FreeBSD 4.8 server running Apache 2.0.48a (installed from the 
ports). This server is dedicated to hosting files for download through http 
and ftp. 99.99% of the downloads occur through http. Our situation is we 
have a Win2K server with our primary website on IIS. There are ASP generated 
pages that provide links to the files on the FreeBSD/Apache server. The IIS 
links are done with a Response.Redirect "http://freebsdServer/dir/file.exe";. 
I don't know ASP so I'm a little clueless to the difference of this code 
compared to a standard html anchor with its href value set to this path/url.
The files on this server vary in size up to 150MB. The files are self 
extracting/install demos of some of our products. The problem is that every 
so often the large files become corrupted. We'll end up getting a call from 
a customer stating that after a couple of download attempts the installer 
file crashes. We'll go and grab the file ourselves through ftp/sftp and sure 
enough the file is no longer functional and we'll have to replace it with 
another copy. 

I googled and searched the lists but have only found tips regarding speeding 
up http downloads, (reverting to the current Apache 1.3.x version). 

Should I be using a database to store the file with it delivered through PHP 
scripts? Are there OS or Apache settings that I should have made to 
accommodate this purpose? (The config files are pretty plain vanilla). 

Thank you for any suggestion,
-Randy

FreeBSD is a great operating system if you would like to try it.
However, changing operating systems is not something you should because
you don't like the attitudes of some people that use your current
operating system. No matter which camp you're in; Linux, BSD, Mac,
{Insert other favorite OS here} or Windows (God forbid); you will find
people that you like and people that you don't like. 

FreeBSD is an operating system, not a religion.

Let us not make negative statements about the people in other
communities. You do not want to sink to the same level as the people
that you speak about.

My root hints are up to date, and I've seen this both using forwarders 
and not.

I've read that this is some incompatibility between BIND 8.3 and other 
servers.  Is the only solution to this problem to run BIND 9?

I really have to make sure this doesn't happen again, because it has 
catastrophic effects on the server.  Thanks for any help!

The X server accesses this area at startup to get information about

What model printer is it, and was the ppd file included in the meta

Take a look on the Recovery console by booting from the XP CD. It's the

Try something like:

root (hd1,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader

I actually did something similar -- if not exactly the same.. the best 
solution that I could come up with was to use BootIt NG 
(http://www.bootitng.com/) to boot the system. That was the only of the 
approximately 15 solutions that I tried that worked.

Now, the PC in question is exclusively FreeBSD, so I don't have to worry 
about it.. but check out BootIt NG.. also, I'd be curious if anyone had 
any luck with other methods..

On 4.9, it does the same as a shutdown -r now or reboot does. Stops services
then reboots the system same as it does on a dos box.

The problem I had, which may no longer exist, was that the video BIOS
was not all mapped (specifically, the last 16 kB were not mapped).
The X server accesses this area at startup to get information about
the display, so it fails.  My solution was to compile the video BIOS
into the X server, agreed a very nasty workaround.  See
http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jul2003.html#25 for more details.  The
correct answer, of course, is to find out why this area isn't being
mapped.  FWIW, Knoppix Linux works fine.

Booting Release 5.2 and XP

[greg]

I want to be able to dual boot into FreeBSD and Windows XP. Right now
FreeBSD is booting just fine.

Windows XP is on a FAT32 filesystem on the first primary partition of
the second hard drive. The second hard drive is the secondary master.

I am booting my system with the standard boot loader that came with 5.2
Release. It detects the windows partition on the second hard drive as
DOS partition. When I hit F5 (it prompts me to hit F5 to boot the DOS
partition), it sits there and does nothing.

I have fomated the MBR on the second drive, so it is MSed. 

Previous to the FreeBSD install, I was dual booting Debian and the same
Windows XP partition. I had to do some work configuring GRUB to get it
to work. What worked was swapping HD0 and HD1 when I choose to boot XP.
This would fool Windows XP into thinking it was booting off the first
hard drive.

Is there a way to change loader.conf to do this. I have looked at the
loader.conf fig help, and did not see any thing that would obviously do
this.

Maybe there is another boot loader I could use that would allow me to
fool Windows XP into thinking it is the first hard drive?

I would use GRUB, but it does not support being installed on a UFS2
filesystem yet.


I dual boot only for the games.

submitting a new man page

[Dave]

Having spent some time trying to get the onboard sound working on an Intel
845G M/B I eventually worked my way to the ich sound driver.  If there had
been a man page for it, I'd probably have discovered this more quickly.

Anyway, although still very much a newbie when it come to FreeBSD I've
created what I think may be the basics of a man page for this driver.

The question is, how and who do i submit it to?  The doc project page says
they don't do man pages.

If anyone on this list would like to comment on the content and or handle
it, then here it is:

---

I'm not saying this will work, but it'll at least register the SMBus, which 
might clear some issues for the audio card.

These lines we're taken from /sys/conf/NOTES, which together 
with /sys/$your_arch/conf/NOTES pretty much makes up the old "LINT" file in 
previous FreeBSD releases.

Re: Logitech Cordless/Optical USB mouse

[Jonathan Heaney]

Further to my earlier post, I've just connected my girlfriend's eMac 
mouse (silly wee thing with one button), and booted my 5.2-current 
partition.  That mouse works fine there, so the software setup seems OK 
- the mouse itself is actually a Logitech one too.

As I suspected, it looks like FreeBSD does not want to play nice with 
the Logitech receiver.

What to do?

Hi, this is a rather auxilary question but my curiosity overpowered my self 
control. This is also more of a i386 specific question, but then again i'm 
not completely sure if FreeBSD handles it the same way on different 
machines.

Does anyone on the list know what Ctrl+Alt+Delete does on a running FreeBSD 
machine?

The funniest part of this question is that FreeBSD has never frozen on me, 
so that I could actually find out. I run it on my server systems, and i

-j shouldn't cause errors (I use it all the time), it's just the wrong
thing to use when you're trying to get help with a build error.

It sounds like rc.subr is not redirecting ps errors to /dev/null when

RE: 5.1 -> 5.2 disaster

Assuming that happened somehow, which is hard to believe because I scripted
the process and have upgraded this machine before, what can be done to fix
it?  Am I on the correct track with using a CD upgrade?

Should I run a dd and force a system from another box onto it?
I dont like the dd option because it requires I take the box offline and
offsite

 DANGER***

DO NOT make installworld after the buildworld w/o building and
installing a new kernel FIRST.  You will be unable to build a
new kernel otherwise on a system with new binaries and an old
kernel.

Even better, tha handbook describes the process in detail down to single
user 
mode.

Error during restarting syslogd in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE

[Rostislav Krasny]

Hello

I have FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE installed on my old Pentium system. Look at
following log please:

localhost# /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart
Stopping syslogd.
ps: kvm_getprocs: No such process
Starting syslogd.


What is 'kvm_getprocs' and why I get this error message? Is it a bug?

Thanks

Re: Building JDK14

[Duane Winner]

That's about right. Give or take several hours, YMMV depending on your
hardware :)

I did jdk14 patch5 a couple of weeks ago and it took over 4 hours on my
laptop (~1GHz).

I'm doing jdk14 patch6 right now at this moment on Dell Precision 420. I
started it about 3 hours ago, and I'm about to go home for the day.
Should be done by my arrival to work for free coffee tomorrow!

Search the archives on freebsd-mobile for answers to this.  Greg Lehey
has done some extensive work on this issue, and has an even nastier

Logitech Cordless/Optical USB mouse

[Jonathan Heaney]

Hi,

I've been trying for a few days to get FreeBSD on my workstation (been 
running it for a couple of years on my gateway/router box), but it just 
does not like my mouse (a Logitech MouseMan).

I've seen other posts in this mailing list, and freebsd-current, and 
through googling found other people who seem to have this problem too.  
I know a workaround is to use a USB->PS/2 converter and use the receiver 
in PS/2 mode, but I've 'misplaced' the converter that came with the mouse.

Tried FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2 -releases, and updated 5.2 to -current last 
night, but no luck with any of them.

I've read through the other recommendations and can confirm that the 
usbd daemon is starting, and that it also spawns moused, but there is no 
pointer movement, and when I kill moused and cat /dev/ums0 I don't get 
symbols appearing onscreen when I move the mouse.

The motherboard has ohci and ehci host controllers, when I use a kernel 
with ohci only, it appears that usbd kicks in correctly, but the mouse 
does nothing.  When I use ehci only it says /dev/ums0 device not found, 
and when I use a kernel with both ohci and ehci it says /dev/ums0 device 
busy.

The relevant section of dmesg output looks like this-

uhub0: nVidia OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 3 ports with 3 removable, self powered
ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/13.10, addr 3, iclass 3/1
ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir.
From the information gathering I've done it appears that FreeBSD just 
doesn't like this receiver (although I'd gladly be proven wrong), and if 
that is the case, my question would then become 'where do I go now/what 
can I do to try and get this problem resolved?'

I've got a Celeron 2.88 GHz with 256 MB PC2700 DDR RAM, 7200 RPM 40 GB disk,

Though I am quite surprised that I can still browse, use GAIM, use XMMS and

This already happens, to /var/run/dmesg.boot

Not sure how to account for the discrepancy - presumably it's not
counting memory that can't be used under FreeBSD (possibly the 'wired'
memory, for the kernel, and some other stuff.)  If you really need the
real total memory on the machine (as opposed to what's available to the
operating system,) you should probably parse /var/run/dmesg.boot (which
isn't difficult - just grep for 'real memory' and take the fourth field
with e.g. awk '{ print $4 }'.)

I've been meaning to find server-side aggregator as well - just had a

As mentioned, tcpdump(1) is the closest to solaris snoop on FreeBSD.

Another useful tool - not too bulky - is trafshow which can be found in

 DANGER***

DO NOT make installworld after the buildworld w/o building and
installing a new kernel FIRST.  You will be unable to build a
new kernel otherwise on a system with new binaries and an old
kernel.

Even better, tha handbook describes the process in detail down to single user 
mode.

Works fine under 5.1 - thanx Chris.

However the output is a little confusing, /var/run/dmesg.boot shows this:

[stan]

I've just installed this wonderful port, and with some kind help from the
list got it working.

Thanks to everyone.

Now, I've got a "learning" question. This port creates a crontab entry to
schedule updates. I looked in /var/cron/tabs, and I don't see it. I can't
su to that user as his shell is /nonexistent. 

So, where does it create this crontab entry? The only way I've ever
accessed cron an a *BSD machine is using the crontab utility.

Thanks for educating me.

Depends on your hardware. Make sure you have enough swap space too! On
my PIII 500mhz it took overnight to build jdk14

4 hours isn't unusual.  In fact, 8 or 12 hours wouldn't be unusual
unless you've got a fast CPU, fast disks and plenty of RAM.  It's a
pretty big compilation.

I'm not sure that you can do hot-swapping with vinum. Please let me know
if you get it to work.

Typically you'll need one of the following:

1.) Firewire external drives
2.) SCA SCSI drives.

If you go with #2, you'll probably be getting a hardware RAID card with the
deal and IT will manage your volume if a drive goes bad. In that case you
shouldn't have to do anything under FreeBSD (assuming you're actually running
one of the redundant RAID levels, and not just striping).

I'm also not sure that you can use SATA for hot swapping. If you CAN, then
you'd either need a hardware RAID card as with SCSI above, or you'd need to
unmount the drive and issue an `atacontrol detach` command before removing
the drive.

SCA works well on my machines at work. Other than that, you can find multi-
drive firewire cases online.

[...]

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

That's a very broad question. How fast are your drives? What's your interface
(i.e. Firewire? SCSI-160? SCSI-320? ATA?) Will you be using vinum or a
hardware RAID controller? Which hardware RAID controller (they're DEFINATELY
not all created equal!)?

In general, you'll probably get optimum speed with vinum. However, it'll chew
up your CPU and it might not be as reliable as a hardware solution.

5.1 -> 5.2 disaster

[Michael Clark]

First off, this is not a hardware problem!  It crashes at the exact same
spot over and over on multiple different commands.

I had a 5.1 - 5.2 upgrade via cvsup that went terribly wrong.  The machine
got rebooted and certain things would no longer work.  I cannot get a make
world, or make buildworld to work.  Errors on on the mtree command with:

mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist  -p
/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include
*** Signal 12

When I try the line manually I get:

bash-2.05b# mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist  -p
/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include
Bad system call (core dumped)

I have tried brining in a new kernel and /usr/bin and /usr/src from another
machine.  The problems just seem to get worse
Before we were only dumping on sendmail, now I have:


pid 421 (sendmail), uid 25: exited on signal 12
pid 436 (cron), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
pid 509 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 12
pid 534 (bandwidthd), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)
pid 585 (man), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
pid 747 (mtree), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
pid 860 (sendmail), uid 25: exited on signal 12
pid 865 (sendmail), uid 25: exited on signal 12

pid 880 (smbd), uid 1006: exited on signal 12

pid 923 (ftpd), uid 1006: exited on signal 12
pid 1018 (mtree), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
pid 1110 (mtree), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
pid  (man), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)


Now, this is all messed up, We did save the original kernel, and the
/usr/bin and /usr/src

I was wondering...  Can I use the sysinstall upgrade option off a CD boot to
repair this??  If so what do I have to do since I have already been running
cvsup upgrades?  Sysinstall complained about this when I tried.

Open to suggestions!  

Desperately seeking help,
Michael

Yes, it is a operating system. Yes it is 100% free. It relies on X for

Building JDK14

[Jorn Argelo]

Hi all,

I'm currently building JDK14 from the ports tree (/usr/ports/java/jdk14) on 
FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. Before that I compiled blackdown-java from the 
ports-tree so I could compile the native one. However, it's busy for almost 
four hours now with building it. Now my question was, does anybody know how 
long is this going to take? 

Thanks,

RE: freebsd 5.2 running as vmware client broken?

[Nick Twaddell]

It is because FreeBSD comes with smp and apic precompiled into the kernel.
VMware does not support smp.  So you need to start it in safe mode, install,
first boot, start in safe mode, recompile your kernel WITHOUT smp and apic.
Then it will work like a charm :)

I've set up FreeBSD boxes with more network interfaces than that, so I
don't think it's a FreeBSD problem. What are the contents of your
/etc/rc.conf? What's the output of dmesg? What does "netstat -in"
give?

You need to give more information than what you have.

Additionally, if you're using this box in a production environment,
you should be using 4.X instead of the unstable 5.X series.

Trying to set up cvsup mirror

[stan]

I'm trying to set up a cvsup mirror to use for updating about 50 machines
that are internal to our corporate network. Since I have better control
over the firewall et all from my home network, I'm building the machine
there.

I've got it built, and used the cvsup-mirror port to assist me in setting
things up. But it's not working. Here is the error message I am getting:

Cvsup update begins at 2004-01-29 14:30:00
Updating from cvsup13.freebsd.org
Cannot connect to cvsup13.freebsd.org: Connection refused
CVSup update ends at 2004-01-29 14:30:01

I've read
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/hubs/mirror-where.html
and I have chosen what I think to be a good site for me from the referenced
mirror list.

Have I chosen badly? Can anyone suggest a better site to mirror from? We are
located in the southeastern US. 

Do I need to get some sort of authorization token from the admins at that
site? I've been cvsuping lot's of machines for years, but this is the
first time I've tried to actually set up a repository.

Any help would be appreciated.

tcpdump(1) It's not exactly the same as snoop, but it does the same

You can try installing a minimum system to a system similar to the one

5.2 /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 upgrade problem in make installworld

Hello everyone,

I have a problem during make installworld while upgrading from 5.1-p11 to

buildkernel and make  installkernel, reboot, everything was fine.

While running make installworld, I bump into an error in libexec/rtld-elf,
output is below. I can see this is to do with the move from /usr/libexec
to /libexec, but I can't work out how to get round it. The permission
denied must be coming from a schg flag...

Any help would be appreciated. I apologize if this question has already
come up but googling hasn't revealed anything. Thanks in advance!

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible,
AMD64, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® architectures.

x86 compatible means, you can run it on the usual Intel / AMD
systems.

You sound a little bit afraid. Although the FreeBSD logo is a
little red daemon called Beastie, there is nothing evil in it.
You don't have to sell your soul, neither buy a washing-machine.

FreeBSD is a little bit like linux:
If you like, you can set up a very basic OS with command-line
(nice for slow old machines), if you have the hardware you can
set up a modern multimedia desktop system like Gnome or KDE
(which are also well known in the linux world). All kinds of
server and network applications are available (and free).

If you have got some space on your harddisk, you could just give
4.9 -RELEASE a try.
For startup questions
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook
is very helpful.

Have fun,

Uli.

Check out /usr/share/examples/kld for a bunch of examples on how to
implement KLDs in FreeBSD.
