Re: Adding Packages and Ports
On Sun, Feb 01, 2004 at 11:21:13PM -0500, Krikket wrote: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the various versions of freeBSD (3.x, 4.x, and 5.x) are still being worked. Needless to say, 5.x is the bleeding edge, but 4.x hasn't been left to go stale. (Or else how would security patches get done, when needed?) FreeBSD 3.x isn't actively supported or worked on any more, although very occasionally some critical security fixes have been committed to that branch. But otherwise, yes, you're right. Therefore, the thought was to get the latest and greatest from the net. No, it's not as bleeding edge as the 5.2 stuff, but if a patch was done since the 4.9 iso's were made, it would be a good idea to have that on hand. So I thought it would be a good thing to use -r as a default option. Or am I just using an incorrect line of thinking, due to the flux that I got used to (and wish to avoid) from when I was dealing with the Linux world? Ports are developed independantly of the base system. It's a continuous process of development as new ports get added, updates to current ports are made to accomodate upstream changes to port distfiles or to fix bug, and generally as new features appear in the ports make system. Testing on ports is done using the currently supported versions of the OS -- viz. 4.9 and 5.2 -- and while ports should work on older systems, that cannot be guarranteed. Each time a release is made, a full set of packages are built from the ports tree: there's a short period of code freeze before that on the ports tree when extra effort is put into bug fixing and making everything work as well as possible together, rather than introducing new code. Those packages are what goes onto the FTP sites, and a sample of the most popular ones go into the install CDs -- there's *far* too much stuff to fit all of it onto a 4 CD distribution set. Between releases, where a port is updated, an updated pkg tarball is eventually uploaded to the ftp servers into the 'Latest' directory, for each Tier-1 architecture and for both supported OS versions. pkg_add -r will download that 'Latest' version where available, or else the version from the release set. However, pkg building isn't instantaneous, and you can get hold of the newest stuff much quicker by building out of the ports tree yourself. So, given that I should have the ports installed from my initial install phase, all I have to do is the make install clean? Too cool. Thank you for the pointer! Absolutely. Lots of people instinctively head towards the installing precompiled packages route, but generally I find that installing through ports is just as easy, usually doesn't take that much more time (except for some really big compilations, like OpenOffice or jdk14), and lets you tweak various build options and so forth. Even so, it's perfectly fine to mix up stuff installed via packages and stuff installed via ports -- it all comes down to the same package database in the end. Using ports also makes it a lot easier to keep everything maintained and up to date, especially by using the portupgrade(1) tools. There are some ports which aren't available as packages, usually for licensing reasons. Note that the ports tree you installed is a snapshot of the state at the time your release was created. The ports tree has undergone a great deal of development since then. There's been a lot of updates to the 3rd party ported software as well, and some versions current at that time may not be available any more. You can track the current state of the ports tree using cvsup(1) -- exactly as you'ld track the current state of the system sources. Details of how to do that are available in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Nb. the cheats method of getting cvsup(1) working is very quick: Step 1: Install the cvsup-without-gui package using pkg_add. Type 'rehash' if you're using tcsh(1) as your shell, so that it becomes aware of the newly installed binaries. Step 2: Edit /etc/make.conf -- create the file if it doesn't exist. You need to add the following: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.XX.FreeBSD.org [1] SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile [2] PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile where [1] should be a cvsup server local to you, and [2] as shown will get you the system sources for the same OS -RELEASE branch as you installed: eg. 4.9-RELEASE-pN or 5.2-RELEASE-pN. You can replace that by 'stable-supfile' to switch to the 4-STABLE branch, although once you've updated to 4-STABLE, the standard-supfile will be replaced by one pulling down the 4-STABLE sources. Step 3: Update the ports

Re: proxies and firewalls
When one is connected to a proxy server, the proxy server makes a connection to the outside world and transports the data to the computer who is requesting that information. So the client computer won't make a true connection to the outside world, but it only connects to the proxy server. In there the administrator can give several rules to the proxy server what to allow/dissalow. For example you can disable that clients connect to the MSN port. If you use a proxy server your internal IP address will almost always be shown on sites that show your IP address rather then your true external IP address. Also, a proxy server caches files it collects from the net, thus making it accessable faster. NAT (Network Address Translator) does nothing more then translating your internal IP address to an external one. So there is a direct connection to the internet like that, and there is no caching done by the NAT server NAT is handy for home use, since you don't have to really tight up your security as you do with your company. So if you got a big company then you should definitely use a proxy server to let your people connect to the outside world.

Then why not quit banging you head on a wall and use make index. Your
failure to adapt is spamming the list. Portsdb -U has not produced
totally clean INDEX runs since I can remember. Make index, on the other
hand, is currently producing clean makes.
There are times when one doesn't work and the other does. You just have
to not refuse anything but ports/INDEX.

diskless operation: swapfile setup
Hi, I had trouble to get the swapfile setup, as explained in the handbook (chapter diskless operation). I failed and then decided to do it in a more manual fashion: The diskless rc.conf has a line 'swapfile=/home/swapfile', where home is a read/write nfs filesystem from the server. This seems to work fine. Of course on the server, I have created a /home/swapfile of 64 Mb. The good thing is here, that no start-up script needs to know the size of this swapfile! Now my question is: Is my setup so much worse than the one suggested in the handbook, where /etc/bootptab sets the two T128 and T129 variables (note that in this case I need to tell /etc/bootptab the exact size of the swapfile via T129) ?

NAT and IPFW rules
Hallo! Out from reading the manpage for natd, I have a question about how to restrict IPFW access for NAT for the case when I have one computer connected directly to another one (having two NICs installed into it)? That means that I don't have to care about big private network, but rather want to narrow down the access to single private IP address. For NAT to work, two rules need to be added: ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via xl0 Can this rule be restricted (is it possible to divert not every packets)? Right now, every packet that enters/leaves the system is diverted, sometimes natd process eats quite a lot of processor resources. Can this be avoided? How? ipfw add pass all from any to any How can this be restricted? I basically need only outgoing stuff working, that's all, and silently passing any packets from whatever location to any destination is insecure to me. Can someone post a live examples of such setup?

Try using the FTP_LOGIN and FTP_PASSWORD variables.
The odd thing is that for some ports it works and for some it doesn't,
so I don't think is an authentication problem.
If all else fails you can try the FETCH_CMD variable in /etc/make.conf
and change it to use ftp, wget etc.
Yes, I'm trying that also; the problem is that, if I use:
FETCH_CMD=/usr/bin/ftp
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=-v
some fetching fails because ftp gets passed an -S option (I presume for
the files that have the new SIZE in the distinfo). The same for axel,
etc.
The hole infrastructure is based on the assumption
FETCH_CMD=/usr/bin/fetch
( and FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=ARr )
and I found no way to override passing '-S'.
Oh, not sure if that was a typo above but it should be:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
Why ?
${DIST_SUBDIR+DIST_SUBDIR/} will expand in DIST_SUBDIR with an ending
'/' if $DIST_SUBDIR is set and will be blank otherwise. If I use
${DIST_SUBDIR}/ the ending slash will be added even if the distfile is
in /usr/ports/distfiles/ (== pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/) e.g.
pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles//my_distfile and the fetch will fail.
Theoretically on the 'host' machine I should have all the distfiles, so
I want all downloads to be made from there. I don't remember what the
'?=' means.

RE: fetch fails, ftp works question
FBSD Friend
Since the fetch command does function for you, but some times you
get this message,
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
The file not found part you know is not true, because you have
used the same command where it does get the same named package.
SO it must be the no access part of the message that has meaning
for this execution of the command.
That means that the FTP server you are using is busy right them when
you are trying to access it. Like in max users exceeded. Those FTP
servers are being beat on right now by people trying to get the bug
infested 5.2 .iso files.
I know the error message is not very clear, but that 's what it
means in your case. Bottom line is since the fetch command works
some times, it can not be fetch command syntax, ether the targeted
server is busy and just try again in 10 seconds, or the you have the
package name typed wrong and it's really not found as you have it
spelled.
The package names with the version number appended as an suffix is
intended for internal ftp server use. The pkg_add -rv command uses
the fetch command to get the latest version of the package by just
using the package name without the version number suffix. The only
sure way to find the correct spelling of the pkg_add package name is
to FTP to the same path location as the pkg_add command uses and
manually find it your self. You will see that all the category
directories contain links to the all directory which contains the
packages with names that have the version suffix. The Latest
directories which is where pkg_add is pointed, points back to the
ALL directory. The same directory tree architecture is used for
all the package-FBSD version directories. That way only an single
All directory is created and all FBSD version package directories
end up using the most current package available with the least
amount of work for the ftp site administrator. It's all done using
link file commands.
One other gotya, for native FBSD without any FTP environment
overrides, ftp defaults to active mode and fetch ftp defaults to
passive mode. You will get the File unavailable (e.g., file not
found, no access) message if your firewall is blocking FTP access.
Check out this web site for real good explanation of the 2 FTP
access modes http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
I hope this gives you the insight you were desiring.

Softc structure linkage problem
I am using FreeBSD Version 5.1. I am having problem to use the softc structure variables to assign the pointer to make_dev and bus_alloc_resource functions. When I declare dev_t sdev as global variable and assign to make_dev as follows: int unit = device_get_unit(device); sdev = make_dev(sy_cdevsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0600, sy3c%d, unit); I am able to create device node, load the kld and unload the kld. When I declare dev_t dev as part of sy_softc structure and assign the scp-dev pointer to make_dev function as shown above, the code compiles ok. When I load the kld with kldload -v ./sy3c.ko command, it flags error. The errors log file err_log is attached. I have also attached the driver code for reference.

RE: NAT and IPFW rules
Hello Friend First I agree with you the FBSD handbook documentation on firewall software sucks big time. It leads the reader into believing that ipfw is the only solution when it is not. FBSD is delivered with ipfw and IPFILTER which are both firewall software applications. The second thing that the sparse ipfw documentation falls to say, is an firewall that does not use stateful rules is not very secure. The real show stopper is ipfw with stateful rules using the 'keep state' option does not work when used with the divert/nated legacy sub-routine. What this means is ipfw with stateful rules can only be used if 'user ppp -nat' is how you connect to the public internet. IPFILTER 's stateful rules work fine, and it has it's own external ipnat function. I strongly recommend you drop ipfw and instead use IPFILTER as it's the superior firewall software solution from the ease of use of stateful rules. If you use 'user ppp to connect to the public internet and want to continue to use ipfw, I have ipfw stateful rule set I can send you. If you want to use IPFILTER, I can sent of an rule set for it also along with links to doc sites. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eugene Panchenko Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NAT and IPFW rules Hallo! Out from reading the manpage for natd, I have a question about how to restrict IPFW access for NAT for the case when I have one computer connected directly to another one (having two NICs installed into it)? That means that I don't have to care about big private network, but rather want to narrow down the access to single private IP address. For NAT to work, two rules need to be added: ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via xl0 Can this rule be restricted (is it possible to divert not every packets)? Right now, every packet that enters/leaves the system is diverted, sometimes natd process eats quite a lot of processor resources. Can this be avoided? How? ipfw add pass all from any to any How can this be restricted? I basically need only outgoing stuff working, that's all, and silently passing any packets from whatever location to any destination is insecure to me. Can someone post a live examples of such setup?

SO it must be the no access part of the message that has meaning for this execution of the command. That means that the FTP server you are using is busy right them when you are trying to access it. Like in max users exceeded. Those FTP servers are being beat on right now by people trying to get the bug infested 5.2 .iso files. From that machine's inetd.conf: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -d -l -l -t 120 -T 120 and I don't remember setting any other limits, in other places. I know the error message is not very clear, but that 's what it means in your case. Bottom line is since the fetch command works some times, it can not be fetch command syntax, ether the targeted server is busy and just try again in 10 seconds, or the you have the package name typed wrong and it's really not found as you have it spelled. The second can be, as it is a part of make fetch make checksum from a script. The package names with the version number appended as an suffix is [..] link file commands. I'm talking about distfiles, not packages, so that is not the problem. There can be cases when my host has a newer distinfo the the server, but I've triple-checked that it is not the case here. One other gotya, for native FBSD without any FTP environment overrides, ftp defaults to active mode and fetch ftp defaults to passive mode. From ftp(1) it defaults to passive. But fetch defaults indeed to active, so this could be a reason; I still don't understand why it works on some ports and not on others. You will get the File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) message if your firewall is blocking FTP access.

SATA RAID 5 controller for FreeBSD
Hi! I am looking for supported RAID 5 controller for FreeBSD and I am very puzzled after reading all the specs and descrioptions. I haven't found any SATA RAID 5 controller in the FreeBSD supported Hardware list, but some manufacturer claim they support FreeBSD. SO far i have found 1) Promise FastTrak SX4 (around 200$) 2) HighPoint RocketRaid 1640 (aorund 150$ hard to find) 3) EscaladeR 8506 4-port one (around 500$) HightPoint and Escalade AFAIK are well supported by FreeBSD. FreeBSD 4.8 support is promised in Promise :) FastTrak. Here is the dilema: As i have read SX4 is not a hardware raid, it uses server's CPU to do XOR calculations. Which is not good, because it means if CPU is loaded RAID permonace will degrade. But SX4 has HUGE cache memory (up to 256MB SDRAM) and FRAM for internal queue storage. I could not find out if RocketRaid is a true hardware RAID 5 or partly software. Also, no infromation on the size of a cache on 1640. Review state that RAID 5 perfomance is not very good. However, I currently use just one huge SCSI disk with 4MB cache. Will i gain in speed with RAID 5 or loose? (it is a web server, many small file reads). Af for Escalde 6506 i again did not find any info on Cache size. However, the specs clearly state that it is a hardware raid5. But if does not have any significats amount of cache and IF rocketraid is too hardware raid 5 then why the heck escalade is so much more espansive? Please, help me to decide which to pick and maybe someone has info on cache size and ability to do hardware XOR for RAID5 for each controller? Regards, Artem Kuchin General Director of IT Legion Ltd.

There are ARP sysctls that you might be able to tweak in order to stop getting these. Hi, The adsl router is set to 10.0.0.2, offering via DHCP it's WAN IP address to the FreeBSD box. PPP half-bridge mode is something strange, but very useful anyway. So, the FreeBSD box gets a live internet IP from the router and since the router is on a different network, the logfiles fill with arp errors that 10.0.0.2 can't be arp'ed because it's not on the same network, blah, blah, blah.

RE: Which interface do I put natd and ipfw
Hello Friend You only NAT the public internet facing interface, tun0 is your case. You should turn on user ppp -nat function and not use the ipfw divert rule command because, ipfw stateful rules does not work when used with ipfw's legacy divert rule which launches the sub-routine call to NATD. FBSD also comes with IPFILTER, another firewall software application. It's stateful rules work correctly with it's external ipnat function and can be configured to use tun0. I have sample if you are interested. Here is an ipfw stateful Inclusive Rule Set The following rule set is an complete very secure 'inclusive' type of firewall rule set that I have used on my system. You can not go wrong using this rule set for you own. Just comment out any pass rules for services to don't want. If you see messages in your log that you want to stop seeing just add an deny rule in the inbound section. You will see the pattern in the usage of these rules. 1. All statements that are a request to start an session to the public internet use keep-state. 2. All the authorized services that originate from the public internet have the limit option to stop flooding. 3. All rules use in or out to clarify direction. 4. All rules use via interface name to specify the interface the packet is traveling over.

In there the administrator can give several rules to the proxy server what to allow/dissalow. For example you can disable that clients connect to the MSN port. If you use a proxy server your internal IP address will almost always be shown on sites that show your IP address rather then your true external IP address. Also, a proxy server caches files it collects from the net, thus making it accessable faster. NAT (Network Address Translator) does nothing more then translating your internal IP address to an external one. So there is a direct connection to the internet like that, and there is no caching done by the NAT server NAT is handy for home use, since you don't have to really tight up your security as you do with your company.

Right now I have evolution and if I delete mail it puts it into a local trash folder, but I dont see an option to Copy deleted mail to folder blah on mail server or something like that. I use mutt with an imap server. I've tied macros to specific keys that save messages to INBOX.trash, which effectively deletes them from the current folder. I go to the .trash folder and use 'D' to clean it out on a regular basis, sometimes finding one or two that I didn't want to delete. It requires folder hooks to change the underlying behavior for the 'd', '^d' and 'D' keys based on the current folder, but it works like a charm.

Re: Acu Cobol 6.0 for Linux
I realised that the ktrace log was rubbish; most of the syscalls names
were not properly mapped.
I tried to track down the exact spot were the Linux executable gets
the SEGV signal, running strace on a Debian system and comparing the
values passed to the system calls. Here is an extract:
rt_sigaction(SIGTSTP, {0x8072ce0, [TSTP], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGHUP, {0x8072ca0, [HUP], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, {0x8072bf0, [TERM], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGFPE, {0x804f910, [FPE], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGBUS, {0x804f940, [BUS], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0

rt_sigaction(SIGILL, {0x804f910, [ILL], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGSYS, {0x804f910, [SYS], SA_RESTART|0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {SIG_DFL}, NULL, 8) = 0
brk(0x81c2000) = 0x81c2000
^^--- SEGV on FreeBSD!
brk(0x81c3000) = 0x81c3000
brk(0x81c4000) = 0x81c4000
brk(0x81c5000) = 0x81c5000
brk(0x81c6000) = 0x81c6000
So it was rt_sigaction() and not pwrite(); brk() and not ktrace().
Does this shed a new light?

Re: proxies and firewalls
I have Lan with private ip address that send packets to public internet. How does an proxy server solve the private ip address versus my public ip address problem? Simply through not routing / NATting at all. Instead of just forwarding the packets rewriting the IP headers like a NAT device does, an application layer proxy does the connections to the outside world *INSTEAD* of the client. To use the popular example of HTTP: While a NAT device will just forward and rewrite your query to a server's port 80/TCP and then forward and rewrite the reply according to its connection table, an application layer proxy will do the query *itself*. It will then process the reply, identify whether it looks like HTML that matches its quality/security requirements and then give a friendly reply to the client that originally did the query. Again, the proxy itself plays client on the application layer. This of course means that all outgoing connections are also done with the external IP address of the application level proxy machine.

cups-base and cups-lpr - installing from ports
I have satisfactory use of cups-base and cups-lpr, but I believe it should be possible to install them somewhat more correctly, so that the following happen: 1) The system's standard lpr command is replaced by the cups one, without any manual alteration to the PATH being required. 2) portupgrade -a ceases displaying the messages: ** 'print/cups-lpr' is marked as IGNORE: is forbidden: Changes ownership of system directories (and the same for cups-base) Naturally, it will be necessary to prevent make world installing the standard lpr but I can already see how to do that.

RE: conf/62230: log-in-vain issues it's msg every time 'mail' command is used.
I disagree with you on this. Log-in-vain purpose in life is to interrogate attempts from the external interface, not the localhost internal functions, which this clearly is what is happening. Sure there are work around solutions for this bug. If you think this is such an trivial annoyance bug that it's does not warrant attention, then just come out and say so, and not beat around the bush with work around solutions in an poor effort to conceal your reluctance to perform system maintenance activities. From what little documentation is published on Log-in-vain, it is not functioning correctly, period. Anybody look at the percentage of bug reports that get closed right out of hand to the ones that really get serious attention? Maybe there is some thing wrong with the evaluation criteria you people use to evaluate bug reports like this one. This is not an single event but an attitude that is too common among the people who review newly filed bug reports. It does nothing to foster confidence in the bug report system, or for that matter in the quality of the overall FBSD system. Just my observations of the over all bug reporting system, it stinks and needs to be readdressed so it's more amiable to really getting bugs fixed and not passing the buck, offering work around solutions. Just because there are many work around solutions does not warrant not fixing the bug causing the problem in the first place.

(Same config as above reversed). The Cisco or the BSD box are running NAT on their side. If I ping a box behind the remote side from my desktop which is behind the router1 box I drop 3 out of 5 packets. Now for the strange part - If I get a ping going to that same node from the router1 box and then ping from my desktop I drop no packets. If I kill the ping on the router1 box the pings from the desktop start dropping packets. This also works if I ping the external interface on the remote router. BTW, I have just changed the router1 box from Gentoo Linux using the IPROTUE package for the tunnels to FreeBSD 4.9. It worked just fine with the router1 running Linux. I would hate to have to change back as I hate Linux and think IPTABLES was written as a replacement for pulling finger nails out with pliers. Thoughts?

The tarball it pulled down is exactly as specified in the distfile: % ls -la /usr/ports/distfiles/openldap-2.1.26.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2042658 Jan 23 06:48 /usr/ports/distfiles/openldap-2.1.26.tgz % md5 /usr/ports/distfiles/openldap-2.1.26.tgz MD5 (/usr/ports/distfiles/openldap-2.1.26.tgz) = e3388c021b1029c15cfbd462d3bfcc9d and the tarball on ftp.openldap.org hasn't changed: ftp dir openldap-2.1.26* 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||50188|) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'. -rw-rw-r-- 1 2000 20 61 Jan 23 06:48 openldap-2.1.26.md5 -rw-rw-r-- 1 2000 20 2042658 Jan 23 06:48 openldap-2.1.26.tgz 226 Transfer complete. Perhaps the OpenLDAP mirrors you're trying to access aren't being properly updated -- I'd suggest ftp'ing down the openldap sources manually from ftp.openldap.org and placing them in /usr/ports/distfiles before you start building the port. My work-around did the job, but to be sure after I pkg_delete'd -2.1.23, I did make deinstall/reinstall. My cvsup script runs portsdb -Uu nightly ... so unclear where the bug is.

Re: proxies and firewalls
On Monday 02 February 2004 19:04, you wrote: Thanks for the detailed explanation. The light bulb has turned on in my head. I learn something new all the time on this list. So let me put this in my own words to verify I understand correctly. Lets say I have gateway box running 5 PCs on LAN behind it, with cable dhcp connection to ISP. The gateway box runs IPFILTER firewall and IPNAT to do NAT function. I can discontinue using IPNAT and install an application level proxy server on my gateway box and it will by default intercept all LAN and gateway originating packet traffic destine for the public internet after it's processed by my firewall and handle the bi-directional traffic transparently? Well, at home I'm using both NAT and a proxy server, but that's because I can't play some online games by means of the proxy server, and the MSN clients are refusing to work my proxy server as well, but for browsing all four the computers are using the proxy server. I'm not running a firewall, because the proxy server provides decent security for home use here. All the ports are closed except those which are needed. (Webserver, Mail server etc) If you're at a small company then the current situation you describe seems just fine to me. If you're at home then you can use this as well, but if you got a gamer at home he isn't going to be happy since you can't really use a proxy for online gaming. So it depends a bit Hope this helped a bit.

Re: Vhost... use Apache
Exactly. Learning Faster is a no go. It never happens. The secret is : It's in the ports, and apache2 is the best (in my opinion) In other words, build the port, then read the documentation. (from the http://httpd.apache.org/ website). Joe Charlie Schluting wrote: Mr Kitt wrote: To whom it may concern, pls provide me the cmds as well... u may give me an example so that i can learn faster n understand better... Nobody is going to give you commands for basic things. It would just take too long. Read the manual. It sounds like you're wanting to set up apache. It wasn't clear from your request. Ok, read the Apache documentation. Don't ask the same question more than once.

Do you have the firewall turned on with a default of deny? It sounds like a firewall problem.

If you think this is such an trivial annoyance bug that it's does not warrant attention, then just come out and say so, and not beat around the bush with work around solutions in an poor effort to conceal your reluctance to perform system maintenance activities. It's not that I don't think it's a bug that warrants attention; I don't think it's a bug at all. Thanks also for your diatribe. I don't agree with any of that either.

Re: Grub problem
Errors on the root will still occur. Grub does that. With BSD, you can set the menu option such as : root (hd0,2) chainloader +1 And it will load the MBR from the BSD partition, which will load the loader, which will load the kernel (the best way, really).

FreeBSD and Grub
On my laptop, I have one hard drive. Slice 4 holds my FreeBSD partition. I used the defaults during the install of 5.2, so /boot lives on slice 4, part a. I have Grub configured as such: root(hd0,3,a) kernel /boot/loader Upon boot attempt, I see: Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5 Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition. Any ideas?
