Re: Scanning Utility

[Saint Aardvark the Carpeted]

[EMAIL PROTECTED] disturbed my sleep to write:

I've just set up ClamAV and have no complaints at all -- in fact, I read
somewhere that it was one of the first virus scanners to add a
definition for the SCO virus.  It's available in ports, so couldn't be
easier.  

One thing to watch:  there's a bugfix that just went into the port on
Feb 10th; it prevents ClamAV from crapping out on a misformed attachment.
You might want to update your Ports tree using CVSUp before installing.

Hope that helps,
Hugh

Win200 gateway blocking FBSD html?

[Robert Storey]

I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD client machine for a school. They have never used FBSD 
or even Linux, they are 100% Windows. They are interested in letting their students 
gain experience with non-Windows software. So I need to prove to them that FBSD can 
work, but I've run into a major obstacle.

The client machines are connected to a switch, which is connected to a Windows 2000 
gateway machine to access the Internet. I set up a FBSD client, and using dhcp it can 
find the network. I can ping the gateway machine, and even ping the local ISP. I can 
also use gftp to access some anonymous ftp sites (such as FreeBSD.org) though 
performance seems slow.

The problem - I cannot access any web sites with http. Doesn't matter if I use 
Konqueror, Mozilla or Lynx. Yet, all the Windows machines on this network can browse 
the web (using Internet Explorer) without difficulty.

I find this very peculiar. Just to be sure that I don't have a misconfigured firewall 
on the FBSD box, I installed FBSD on my laptop, plugged it into a different network - 
works fine, I can surf the web. Then I plug it into the school's network, and http 
doesn't work, but ping and ftp can reach the outside world (though again, it's slow).

Is it somehow possible that the Windows gateway only allows Internet Explorer to work? 
Doesn't seem possible, but what do I know? All suggestions welcome.

best regards,
Robert

Hm...if you've got the Linux compatibility stuff, you should (I think)
have this too.  Try:

locate ld-linux.so.2

On my system, it shows it as being a symlink to
/usr/compat/linux/lib/ld-2.2.4.so.  Assuming it shows up, try

/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep ld-linux

just to confirm that ldd really can't find it.  If it's not listed, try
running:

/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig 

to update the list of libraries it knows about.

Usually that should be done at boot-time by the /etc/rc script -- have
you got the right option set in /etc/rc.conf?  (linux_enable="YES")

Hope that helps,
Hugh

USB 2.0 -> 1.0 Support Backwards Compatible in 4.9? Re a SonyFileVault USB 2.0 Flash Drive

[Steven N. Fettig]

I have a Sony FileVault USB 2.0 Flash Drive that I use to store working 
documents on (I don't use the security portion of the drive - if anyone 
has had one themselves - I was simply able to get it for a steal) that I 
cannot get working under 4.9 on an HP D530 machine (2.5 GHz P IV w/ 
on-motherboard USB 2.0 controllers.  When I have the machine running, I 
cannot simply attach the USB Flash Drive and mount it like one would a 
CD, etc.  The machine simply doesn't see the device.  I have looked 
through dmesg and the messages logs to see if it is even seen, but it 
isn't.  What is even weirder, is that if I boot the machine/restart it 
with the drive attached, the system sees it:

Feb 18 16:32:19 hpBSD /kernel: umass0: Sony USB Mass Storage Device, rev 
2.00/0.01, addr 3
Feb 18 16:32:19 hpBSD /kernel: pci0:  at 29.7 irq 10

BUT, my USB keyboard and mouse no longer respond.  I do have all of the 
appropriate kernel mod's included (da, scbus, etc.), so I'm not sure 
what is happening.  According to a statement in

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=445988+448507+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-questions/20040118.freebsd-questions

USB 2.0 is supported in 5.x and NOT 4.9.  If this is the case, why won't 
the device and the controller simply revert to USB 1.0 or is there 
something I need to set to get it to work properly (or is the 82801EB 
controller not able to "play fair" with an os that doesn't support the 
2.0 capabilities).  In fact, I could care less at this point whether it 
runs at 2.0 speeds because it's "flash" memory that is only capable of 
4MB/s transfer anyway.

I would simply like to understand how one can play with the USB setup in 
4.9 and see if there is anything I can tweak.  (I will eventually 
upgrade to 5.2 - which, from what I have read, should solve my problems 
- but before I make the leap, I want to learn more...  Any 
recommendations or ideas?

Steve Fettig

P.S. Pardon my ignorance on this type of hardware question.  I am trying 
to understand whether "backwards-compatible" is really decided by the 
software or hardware...

Thank you for your reply. blink-cursor-mode doesn't work in FreeBSD console, 
it only work in X, because emacs draws the cursor in X itself. I don't know

Re: root is full

Before I got your emails I found out the problem. I had another

was a crash and when it came back online the /backup existed on the 
root.

If this is your first installation, go with 4.9.  5.x is still
rated "early adopter"; while nothing's exactly broken, there are
more likely to be surprises lurking in wait for the inexperienced.

You didn't mention what FreeBSD version you were using, or where you got
your ports from, or whether you had any pkgtools.conf or make.conf
settings that would affect the build, so all I can say is that it built
for me this afternoon with a ports tree I'd updated just before...

Hmm.  Maybe you got the terminology accidentally mixed up.  Exim is an
MTA (Mail Transport Agent), not an MUA (Mail User Agent).  In any case,
if you happen to be running X and KDE, I recall that Kmail was rather
easy to use.  The Mozilla project has an email client and I haven't

Run 
   du -sk *
at the base of the file system (root in this case) where the problem is.
Then cd in to suspicious directories - those that look excessively big
and  run du again

Keep following bloated directories until you find your problem.
I would guess you have logs (var/log) and mail (/var/mail) still in root 
and maybe even /tmp but who knows until you track it down a little better.

You may need to either revise your disk layout or at least
move some thing to a bigger partition and make symlinks.

"du -x /" will tell you what is using space (but note that deleting a
file doesn't help until every process holding the file open also
closes it).

Allow me to expand - This is KDE 3.2.0 Under 3.1.4 the normal way of changing 
the icon works well (right-click on the current icon and choose Properties. 
When the window for properties pops up, click the icon then choose another 
one from one of the collections (a default collection will appear for you to 
make your choice from).

However, there are more permissions to deal with under 3.2.0 - the default 
permissions are set to root and only root can change them.

Again, refering to the location of 
/usr/local/share/applications/kde/konqbrowser.desktop
as an example.

I don't know about exim, but for an easy-to-get-working MTA (not MUA) you 
might try postfix. IIRC no configuration is necessary to get it working - 
just install the port and let it activate it (or do it yourself). Fix the 
statup scripts to run it at boot and you should be all set.

Re: mplayer

[Peter Schuller]

> how do i fix mplayer-gtk-esound-0.92.0_5 so i can install mplayer?   thanks

Dunno, however if you can live with mplayer without GUI (like me), you can 
modify the mplayer port's Makefile so that it doesn't use any GTK stuff.

I.e., comment out:

#.if ${HAVE_GNOME:Mesound}!=""
#WITH_ESOUND=   yes
#.endif

I also had to comment out this for 5.2-RELEASE:

#.if ${OSVERSION} >= 502000
#BROKEN="Does not compile"
#.endif

After that it compiles and works perfectly on this machine.

(Should I file a PR for this anybody? I mean, mplayer is *very* usable without 
a GUI, so I would personally rather see the GTK usage being skipped rather 
than having it marked as broken manually.)

Easiest thing is to obtain a core dump; see the man page for 'ulimit', 
check
'/etc/login.conf' and the apache directive for this.

Otherwise - if it happens a LOT - you can run (from screen if needed)

	gdb /usr/local/sbin/httpd -X

it will then run single process/thread mode; and if there is a segfault 
you'll
inmediately see the culprit. This is generally too slow for a production
server; but will easily handle hobby sites.

Given your setup my guess is some PHP5 plugin (I had similar issues
until I fixed/recompiled gd).

you have to set the password for "ldap admin dn" first.

try 'smbpasswd -w '

the password is then stored in the secrets.tdb file. this is necessary to
make samba able to connect as a user with write permissions to the LDAP
server. otherwise, as your current situation shows, it is not possible to
change any information in the LDAP tree.

Not your fault at all.  The 'net is being plauged at the moment by a
series of Windows worm programs that attempt to spread themselves
through e-mail.  Once the infect a machine, they send e-mail to
addresses listed in uers' address books, and also forge the sender
address using the same source.  See,
eg. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This means that you and I, as innocent and uninfected bystanders will
be deluged in three types of message as a consequence:

   i) Messages from the trojan program attempting to propagate itself.

  ii) Bounce messages from the mailer daemon saying that messages of
  type (i) couldn't be delivered, sent to the forged sender
  addresses.

 iii) Really annoying messages sent by some dim-witted anti-virus
  software accusing you of sending virus infested e-mails.  These
  are completely pointless, as the sender addresses are forged,
  and the AV software writers should know that.

In fact the huge flood of messages of type (iii) have outnumbered the
messages of type (i) in this latest outbreak.  AV software writers
making themselves part of the problem there, rather than the solution.

As FreeBSD users we can, of course, act all smug about this and just
set our spam filters and AV software to dump all of the (i), (ii) and
(iii) types of message into the bit-bucket.

If you want to test your machine to see if it is providing an open
relay, go to http://www.abuse.net/relay.html and follow the
instructions.

Matthew

Yeah, it's a real shame and trying to get people out of their comfort zone

Need help restoring toasted drive

[Michael R. Wayne]

I think the FreeBSD boot manager took out my laptop drive and I'm
hoping to get it back (and willing to go to some extensive effort
to do so).

Dual boot Win2K and FreeBSD.  Just upgraded it to current yesterday.
Rebooted FreeBSD a number of times with no issues.  Today, I needed
to use the Win2K side of things, that booted a number of times as well.

But, when I tried to flip back to FreeBSD, the disk lost it's mind.
Up came the normal prompt:
   F1   ??  (windows partition)
   F2   FreeBSD
But when I hit F2, it changed to 
   F4   FreeBSD
which now does nothing other than looping forever.

I booted from the 5.2 FreeBSD mini-iso CD, looked at the disktable
and the whole disk is marked "unused".  Win2K says it can't see
anything either.  So, I suspect that the partition/label info is
gone but everything else should be there.

Any ideas on how I can dig around and put things back?

Hi,

Anyone using this combination?  I'm offered a setup like this for a high IO

the Raid 5 array properly.

Does FreeBSD see the remove-disk/add-disk events?
If so, can the raid array be re-built without shutting down the OS and 
rebuilding from the SCSI card bios?
If not, is there a Raid 5 controller that has better support with FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance folks.  I'll post a summary of replies.

Sure, there's ssh. With ssh you can also do sftp, which works like ftp,
only it's encrypted via ssh.
If your server is on a trusted network, you can also use rlogin or
telnet, but if you connect to you web-server via the internet, *don't
use these*, because they are *very* insecure. 
I run a headless NetBSD-machine at home, which I use as a small home
server (nfs mainly) - except for installing the system or changing
BIOS-settings I can do *everything* via remote login. 

If you run a Un*x-like system on your PC (like, uh, FreeBSD, some other
BSD, Linux) you can also run X11-applications remotely on the server and
have their windows displayed on your local machine - just login with
'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. If you run windows, you can do that, too, but you
have to install third-party software. XFree is available for Win32,
also, there are some commercial packages. I think, Exceed does something
like that.

There are ssh-clients available for windows, as well, of course.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

They'll all do this. Personally: exim (actually, multiple exims, but
I've a rather unusual setup) as MTA, cyrus as mailstore, MailScanner in
queue-to-queue mode, and silkymail as webmail client.

Unfortunately, depending on how you want to manage your users, cyrus is
one of the "heavier" imap servers out there. I love it to bits but it
can be tricky to get exactly right. You will need some scripting to tie
your directory/authentication to cyrus quotas.

You'll probably get the same story with most roll-your-own setups. There
are a number of products that claim to be email "appliances" and you
might look at those, depending on how much preexisting infrastructure
you've got for managing virtual domains and users.

Web Developers - Eric Bids Adieu! - Lockergnome

[Lockergnome]

et, and bid to take this project
on. Now keep in mind the lowest bidder will win the project, so you
   need to find a nice balance between workload and the dollars you bid.
   Don't rush out and bid $50 on a full-on Content Management System that
will take you 3 months to deliver. Rather, find small projects that
   you can complete in a few days. This will give you the experience you
  crave, the portfolio you need, and a few greenbacks to line your
   pockets with in the meantime.

   One of the features of this site that must be mentioned is their Safe
   Project Escrow which is designed to ensure that money is only paid to
   those that complete a project to the client's specifications.

 The "Safe Project Escrow" (tm): This Rent A Coder exclusive
 feature, guarantees a stress free transaction by putting you in
 control of releasing funds to the coder. p>Before Rent A Coder,
 many companies had to make non-refundable, up-front payments to
 coders to hire them. This often resulted in deadbeat coders making
 off with deposits, and buyers being left with nothing but empty
 promises and empty wallets.

 However, with the "Safe Project Escrow," you don't pay the coder
 directly, but instead deposit the funds into an escrow account.
 While giving the coder the reassurance that you have the funds, the
 coder also knows that they do not receive any funds until work is
 completed (or a work phase is completed if you are doing a phased
 project).

 Upon completion of work (or work phase), you verify that you've
 received what you've asked for, and authorize the release of funds
 though the site. Since you are in control, you can guarantee that
 you'll get the deliverables that you're asking for!

   GOODBYE: Fond Farewells!

   As I mentioned in the GnomeREPORT, this is my last full issue. From
   here on out you'll see me from time to time as I submit articles,
   tips, and more. I want to again thank all of you for your suggestions,
   ideas, tips, and words of wisdom. This really has been a great
   experience for me and I'll treasure the contacts and friends I've made
   from it.

   As a final parting, I'd like to let you in on a little secret recently
   reveled to me. As you know, in the past I featured a program called
   [42]VisitorVille, which allows you to view your website statistics in
   real time as well as in archival format. Shortly after featuring the
   program on Lockergnome, I was contacted by the CEO who wanted to offer
   a discount to everyone. Well, little known to me, he never took the
   discount coupon out of the system, and he's going to keep it in there
   a bit longer! [43]So grab the software, you get 12 days to play with
   it, and when you are ready to buy, use the code gnomies to get 40% off
   for life. Just think of it as my parting gift to all of you!

Sorry, ok I went through it again, saying Y to all the "Continue?" prompts
but N to all the ones that talked about changing things. The final result
was huge, so instead of posting it here I'll host it on my site:

I have ordered an additional 80GB drive for this very purpose (along w/ an
external USB enclosure but we don't have to get that working yet). I will
let you know when it arrives. If the next step you want to do is going to
make changes, I'm happy to wait until the 2nd drive is here and we can do
the dd.

Re: My fault or just Spam

[Ed Budd]

It's a virus (my AV calls it Worm.Gibe.F). I bet most of the list gets
these occasionally. Some hapless windows user got infected and has you
in their address book (perhaps through the outlook
auto-add-addresses-to-addressbook-function applied to something you
posted once on a public list??)

Install Clamav from ports and set it up to interface with postfix (I use
it with sendmail milter but should be similar -- check clamav site for
details).

Don't sweat it, man -- life as usual in the wild-and-woolly...

Funny you bring this up - I took the case off, cleaned everything out 
including the powersupply. I'm leaving the case off - currently, I'm running 
at 109 degrees (F) and I was able to do my portupgrade of KDE without issues.

All in all, better ventelation is helping out tremendously.

Re: My fault or just Spam

[Aaron Peterson]

unfortunately, it's likely it's your fault for using email, hehe...  at
least one of the recent windows viruses steals addresses from the address
books of infected machines and sends out mail to/from those addresses. 
It's likely that someone that had your address in their address book was
infected and your email address got abused as a result.  i have definitely
felt the pain of that over the last month, as i'm sure many others have. 
i can't even avoid the pain of using windows by not using windows anymore.
 i have to convince everyone i know not to use windows :)

root is full

[Will Prater]

List,

My root partition is full, but I cannot figure out how it got filled so 
fast the last security check claimed there to be 5% of capacity and now 
its at 108%. Where else can I check to see what is filling the root 
partition?

Thanks in advance

Start with reading pretty much everything on the FreeBSD web site.
 http://www.freebsd.org/
especially the handbook and FAQs.
There are several good books out.  I get along quite well with
  FreeBSD Unleashed  by Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann
Someone has walked off with my copy of the Complete FreeBSD which
is also good.But, the FreeBSD Handbook is most authoritative
and is online at the FreeBSD site and also available in print at
various places.

Of course, man pages are essential reading for various things.
But, you knew that.

Much as I love AMD, I would have to agree about the fans. I bought boxed CPUs 
with fans as I expected that this would provide the right level of cooling 
(and reliability). IIRC the warranty was 2 years. When the first one went 
"wobbly" I replaced the lot. It's just not worth taking the chance.

To the OP, re temperatures. I wouldn't rely too much on what other peoples 
systems report.

The actual temperature of the CPU is going to depend on the speed and CPU core 
architecture (and maybe the BIOS) vs the ambient temp/cooling.

This is as opposed to the temperature reported. The accuracy is going vary 
with method (chip) which means, which M/B. I somehow doubt the sensors are 
individually calibrated against a lab standard.

If you can find somone with the same CPU/Motherboard, those numbers would be 
slightly more useful.

As a counter example my 2100+/Gigabyte GA-VTXE+ (BIOS F6a) sits at 54C idle 
and around 60C when busy. It's perfectly stable (on stable, not current).
[With fvcool idle temp = 30C]

If I forget to clean the filters, the temperature will rise, and the system 
becomes increasingly unstable. A few degrees increase is enough.

My advice is to clean any filters, fans and heatsinks and check the fans spin 
correctly. If the box runs cooler, note the temperature for future reference.

True; I was just being careful there.
I was hoping that the colon might be ignored if a slash had come
first, on the theory that a slash would be illegal in the remote
syntax anyway.

It wouldn't be terribly hard to put such a check in; is it worth 
the effort?

Kdevelop3 port HOWTO?

[J. Seth Henry]

Guys,
I would like to help out the kdevelop project by building and testing releases 
on my system. However, as it comes from the project, the source won't 
configure OR (if I managed to dink with the configure script enough to get it 
to complete) compile on my system. This includes the released 3.0.0 version, 
which works in the port tree, so clearly something was done in the ports tree 
to make it build on FreeBSD.

Can anyone tell me what? I'd like to test out a patch in the 3.0.1 version and 
verify that the bug was fixed. Alternately, does anyone know when 3.0.1 is 
going to be included in the ports tree for cvs?

BTW- I submitted a more detailed question to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but haven't 
gotten a reply.

Thanks,
Seth Henry

mkisofs vs large files

[Chris Meyers]

I am running 5.1-RELEASE-p2 with dvd+rw-tools version 5.17.4.8.6 and
mkisofs version 2.0.3_1 and I'm having some problems with mkisofs and
files larger than 2GB. Basically what I am trying to do is backup some
database dumps to a dvd. Everything was working fine until the dumps got
larger than 2 Gigs. Now I get this message when I try to use growisofs:

% growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/cd0 -R -J bkupdir
Executing 'mkisofs -R -J feb8 | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0'
mkisofs: Value too large to be stored in data type. File
bkupdir/large-file-20040208.sql.gz is too large - ignoring
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 169
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10

I have looked around and found some articles and emails that say the
mkisofs has a 2 gig limit in some circumstances, but I have also seen
articles and emails that say this shouldn't be the case on FreeBSD or
when dvd+rw-tools is installed.

The man page for mkisofs gives a -split-output option which I tried in
hopes that it would split the file as necessary, but I got the same
error.

Anyone have any clues or advice?

Thanks,
Chris

Problems with Apache 1.3 segfaulting in 5.2.1-RC?

[Linh Pham]

(I'm not subscribed on the list, so please include me in all replies)

Has anyone ran into problems with Apache 1.3.x segfaulting (signal 11)
under FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC[12]? I had to recently re-install FreeBSD on my
home server and grabbed the latest src-all for RELENG_5_2, which ended
up being for 5.2.1-RC2. Afterwards, I compiled and installed Apache 1.3
plus PHP5 and PostgreSQL and got it up and running without any problems.

Until I checked /var/log/messages. For two nights in a row, I got a slew
of "exited on signal 11" messages for httpd as listed below:

SOLVED! : Please help - URGENT - disk/fsck problems!

Well, seeing as that I didn't get a single response to my URGENT plea for
help, and noting that necessity is the mother of all invention, I managed to
solve this problem myself (48 hours after the fact with users screaming at
me for 6 of them).  I'm repling to my own post in the hopes it'll be
archived and help some poor SOB like myself should they encounter the same
problem.  I don't know if it was the *right* way to solve the problem, or
even if there were alternative ways.  This method did work, though.  It
resulted in some data loss, but I was illing to live with that since I have
good tape backups to restore from.  Here's how I fixed my problem.

After RTFM on fsck (man fsck) for the 4,341st time, I noticed under the "see
also" section a utility called fsdb, the FFS debugging/editing tool.  While
messing with inodes and such as always scared the hell out of me, I figured
I had nothing to loose at this point.  I went back to my fsck output and
noted that certain errors seemed to never go away, like this one:

INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=447212 (5280 should be 4064)

I assumed that the "I" above was an Inode number.

I fired up fsdb with the disk slice in question as a paramenter, like this:

fsdb /dev/da0s1g

This gave me a "fsdb >" prompt.

>From there I issued the command:

clri i-number (e.g., clri 447212).

This apparently nukes the Inode number given to it.

I did this for all the Inode numbers that continually re-appeared after
numerous fsck's.

I typed "quit" (or was it "exit"?) to leave fsdb and then re-ran fsck.

Problem sovled.  Restored from tape (love AMANDA!) and I was good-to-go!

Hopes this helps somebody...

Thanks,

--Sean Noonan

This is usually caused by a system date that is borked. Correct the 
system date/time and it should install just fine. You may have to 
rebuild the world before you can install.

Request For some Help on Netgraph Nodes

[Arunav Roy]

Hello Friends , 
 
I am Arunav Roy . I have recently started working on
NETGRAPH  .  Even I am planning to write program for a
netgraph node through which I could  connect my node
to the Ether node and read the packets  , capture them
and  make changes  
in the packet fields . 
 
I have tried out a few things and I have faced
problems in few things such as : 
1)  How to print the packet information on the konsole
when the packet passes through the node. 
2)  How can I make changes in the Packet header 
3)  What are the different types of errors which we
can induce in  TCP/IP connection to test the
reliability of TCP/IP 
 
 These are few of my doubts . I will be very grateful
if somebody could help me out with my difficulty. I
would  definitely be looking forward for some help.

KDE icon changing and permissions.

[Chris]

Hiya folks,

I finally was able to work past my overheating and KDE issues. I'm proudly 
running 3.2.0 now.

Was wondering, I prefer to use icons of my own on the task bar. I normally 
like to have Konqueror there with a differant icon. The issue however, is 
that I am unable to. The locale of this seems to be in 
/usr/local/share/applications/kde/konqbrowser.desktop

The permissions are root and root alone. Can I safely get by this by either 
changing it to me, or create another with only me as  the permission holder?

Your thoughts...

Re: problems with FreeBSD 4.9 disk 1 ISO image

[Steven N. Fettig]

Martin Hudec (www.webcom.sk) wrote:

Did you try to burn it using slower speed? This is maybe a long shot..

Cheers,
Martin
 

Martin actually has a point.  I have had problems with the FreeBSD 5.1.2 
ISO's - which made me think that for some reason the ISO's I was 
downloading were corrupted (every time I tried to install it on *one* of 
my machines, it crapped out with an error when installing the base 
system).  I checked the MD5 checksums and found out they were the same. 
Two things that solved this: burning at a lower speed and in one case, 
and downloading the ISO again in another case. 
Another oddity I learned about in a situation some months ago:  I work a 
lot on OS X/Macs.  I downloaded one of the ISO's over night, copied it 
the next morning to a FAT formatted firewire HD, brought it to work and 
burned it on another OS X machine after copying it over from the 
firewire HD.  The install process using *that* CD always errored out (I 
tried burning it 3 times).  I went back to the original OS X computer 
and burned a copy from the ISO I had originally downloaded and voila - 
no problems.  I found that copying from one FS to another can also 
sometimes corrupt ISO's.  I don't understand why, but this is not the 
first time this has happened - and it is not only with FreeBSD ISO's.  I 
learned to always double check the MD5's after that and be careful of 
crossing FS's multiple times.

4.9-stable system lockup with vinum raid5 activity

[Tony Frank]

Hi all,

I'm running 4.9-STABLE built 17th Feb based on cvsup on same day.
Custom kernel in use with device polling enabled on fxp0.
Kernel config is attached in case anyone can spot anything obvious there.
It's an 'older' system, Pentium2-200, 132mb ram, basic Asus slot1 m/b
(Via chipset) with 2 ide/ata disks (ad0, ad2)
Also has a adaptec 2940UW SCSI (ahc0) with 4x4g scsi drives (da0-da3)
kernel + vinum loaded via loader.conf with vinum root environment 
built around ad0 & ad2.

See some other messages in questions regarding exact build of this box
due to previous problems with vinum & raid5 volume.

First I noticed fsck had errors right after I newfs'd my raid5 volume.
I let fsck fix the errors and mounted the volume.
I then copied some test data across and while this appeared to work, the 
md5 checksum of the files copied across no longer matches my original 
md5 records taken from both a separate system (transferred via ftp) and 
from another volume (a vinum mirror) on the same system.

My test data is an iso CD image + a tar archive containing /usr/obj from
my build system.  Around 1gig all up and lots of files/dirs in the tar file.
I then tried extracting the tar archive and after about 20 mins the 
system appeared to freeze.
At this time vty switching was still working and I noticed the following
on the console:
(hand copy)

devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for da2 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for da2 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for da3 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for da3 is < 0 (-1)!
devstat_end_transaction: HELP!! busy_count for da3 is < 0 (-2)!

ahc0: Timedout SCB already complete. Interrupts may not be functioning.

I tried a few commands but while the first few went through any
new command I ran through the console appeared to pause for ~5 mins
before running, eg "vmstat -i"

Pressing ctrl-t on the console for vmstat shows:
load: 0.00  cmd: vmstat 455 [flswai] 0.00u 0.01s 0% 472k

I eventually pressed 'ctl-alt-del' (no debugger in this kernel)
and after ~20 mins the box has now rebooted but did no restart.
As it is a test system I am now going to further investigate in
the morning.

Full history of what I was doing:

problems with interchange-4.8.7 on FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE

[martijn]

Hi,

I am trying to install and run interchange on my FreeBSD server. I first
updated the ports directory-> succesful. Then I did a
"make -DCHECK_FOR_IC_USER all install". This went all well. A new user and
group (interch) is added and it seems that it is installed properly. Next
thing to do is creating a new catalog for interchange. Therfor I did the
following:

% cd /usr/local
% bin/makecat

A wizzard starts and I accepted all the defaults. And somewhere the wizzard
is asking for the location of "vlink". As I did not know what the right
thing to do was. I searched for this file and found it in

/usr/local/interchange/src/

The above path is exactly what I typed in during the makecat. After the
makecat has finished I started the interchange server. Via su interch.
(first I had to change the shell of interch via chpass, otherwise it was not
possible to su).

All seemed to go well. But after all this I can see the file 'foundation' in
cgi-bin but it will not run.
Browsing to http://myIP/cgi-bin/foundation gives the following error in my
/var/log/httpd-error.log.

 -/var/log/httpd-error.log -
---
[Wed Feb 18 16:28:54 2004] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of

[Wed Feb 18 16:28:54 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.3] Premature end of
script headers:

I have tried the complet procedure from making the port till making the
catalog for 4 times now. I even have rebuild my kernel with maxusers 256 as
red somewhere this could be the problem with this type of error on an
FreeBSD system running interchange.


Can someone help me on this subject.

RE: Move to mail server? WAS Re: Sending mail gets'Relaying Denied' from off network.

[Jason Wilson]

We all have our preferences. If you're looking for a "Turn-Key"
solution, Courier-MTA or Mail Toaster set-ups are damn fine. If you're
up for the learning experience, which will broaden your knowledge of how
all the pieces fit together, below is my open-ended recommendation:

Postfix (the mail/postfix port) with MySQL or Postgres as a
configuration backend. There are a lot of examples of how to do this
with MySQL on the Postfix webpage (www.postfix.org) which can be easily
adapted to Postgres if you so choose.

Cyrus as a POP3/IMAP server, with Web-Cyradm (see mail/cyrus-imapd22 and
www.web-cyradm.org) or...
Dovecot as a POP3/IMAP server, which I've found to be smokin fast and
fairly easy on the memory load (mail/dovecot) or...
As I was digging through the ports, DBMail looks interesting as well
(mail/dbmail).

You may also want procmail (mail/procmail) or maildrop (mail/maildrop)
for delivery.

SpamAssassin for filtering (mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin) and possibly
Amavis-new (security/amavis-new) with ClamAV (security/clamav). With
this setup, you could let Amavis-new do both your SpamAssassin and AV
scanning. Also, ClamAV is but one choice in the Virus scanning choices
in ports/security. If going the Postfix route, it is recommended by the
author to avoid MailScanner.

As for webmail, everyone has their own opinion as to which one they like
best. I've been a fan of IMP so I'll advocate the Horde Framework + IMP.
If you'd like any additional web-workgroup features, adding calendaring
(Kronolith), contacts (Turba), or any other features is a snap. 

I know it's not down to the wire specific, but with the exception of the
"Turn-Key" solutions, a mail server is a sum of its parts as well as the
child of it's admin (Daddy, could I have 50 dollars for more RAM
please).

Sorry no, this way the colon is just escaped in the shell.

This seems to be one of the symptoms of buggy AGP support in the
system firmware.  Unfortunately, there is no longer any supported way
of installing FreeBSD without it -- AGP is in the GENERIC kernels, and
has been for quite some time now.
You might try booting to the loader and disabling AGP, but I'm not sure
that will help.

The kernel has to be inside whatever *BIOS* limit exists for booting.

Well, you are asking this on a FreeBSD mail list.  FreeBSD is NOT Linux.
(It is better :-) ) 

You can download and install FreeBSD quite easily.  Start at the
FreeBSD web page   http://www.freebsd.org/   find and read the handbook
installation instructions on that site.  It explains things in detail.

Basically, there are two ways.  One is to download a boot/install image
either for CD or floppy if you don't have CD.  Use it to boot the
machine and install over the net from one of the FreeBSD sites.
The other way is to buy a set of installation CDs from one of several
places that package a FreeBSD installation.  www.freebsdmall.com  is
one of them, and there are others.

You can create a system with both FreeBSD and Linux (and MS-Win as well)
called creating a dual boot system if you want.  There is information
in the handbook about doing that.

Also, I would guess there might be a French version of the documentation
as well as download mirrors in France if that is helpful.

In loader.rc i did unset acpi and now it gets a little further:
after loading mfsroot (rotating /), after that i see:

no such file or directory

Then press enter to boot kernel now 
the kernel is located /boot/kernel/kernel

Right; it's not the shell that you need to hide the colon from, so
escaping it in the shell syntax won't make any difference.

Yes; as you pointed out yourself, it's the notation for remote host

I haven't tried this, but from looking at the man page, I might expect 

dump -f /path/to/dump/dir/some\:file

to work...

The problem is that Logitech hasn't released the details on how to
communicate with the device.  There's not much anyone can do about
that.  I suspect the difficulty you'll have in getting the 'FreeBSD
team [to] do something about this' is that it's just not a very
interesting problem---there are other cameras around with open
specifications.  Certainly I gave up on the QuickCam in pretty short
order and just got another camera.

I believe it should function for both read & write in degraded mode.
Any reads will have to be rebuilt hence there will be a big hit in performance.

Well -n is useful in that it makes no changes...

> How do I read an alternative superblock wih a vinum drive???

superblock is a filesystem function - so you run fsck with -b option as so:

fsck -b x

where x is the replacement superblock.
Typically 32 is a valid replacement (says this in fsck man page) so you might want
to try "fsck -n -b 32 /dev/vinum/data"

The newfs output will give you a list of the superblocks created.

You can 'rerun' newfs with:

newfs -N -v /dev/vinum/data 

Be sure to include the -N as otherwise it will overwrite your volume.

If 32 wont work you can try a higher number

> Something like:

The command would be "vinum stop data.p0.s0"
In my case I had to do "vinum stop -f data.p0.s0"

In your case if you have replaced the faulty drive you should be
able to run 'vinum start data.p0.s0' to have the subdisk rebuilt in the 
background.
This will take a long time for your listed volume sizes.

However this should not have any impact to your situation.
The volume is working at the Vinum level (although degraded)
The problem here is that the data on the vinum volume appears to be
somehow corrupt.

If the fsck option with alternate superblock doesn't help I think
the only option is a restore of data.

If you do that I would recommend rebuilding the vinum configuration.
Arrange a single vinum partition per disk and then use multiple subdisks
to share the storage amongst different plexes.

Here's output of a scenario I just now ran on my test box:
I got a lot of errors with fsck which are strange to me as I have 
only two files on the filesystem. 
More investigation ongoing (probably tomorrow as it's now late)
Throughout the various activities vinum gives full access to the 
volume with only one subdisk lost.

I thought the default was that it didn't do that on the console...

Check out the blink-* variables; 
I think that a .emacs setting of 
(blink-cursor-mode nil) 
should ensure the disabling of the blinking cursor.

Thanks for testing it - I'll commit a slightly improved version shortly.

getty run problem

[Igor]

Hello,

today when I was working in an ttyv just accomplishing make fetch command
the system(FreeBSD-5.1R) stoped to react to any command.
I could not bring back my system to life using ^C,^D,^\, it also did not
react to Ctrl-Alt-Del.
After switching off/on power, when I reboot,
I get lots of the following error messages:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
init: can't exec getty `/usr/libexec/getty` for /dev/ttyv0: for port
/dev/ttyv0: No souch file or directory
init: can't exec getty `/usr/libexec/getty` for /dev/ttyv1: for port
/dev/ttyv1: No souch file or directory
[e.t.c]

In single user mode I tried to fsck for all slices, it was ok
and there are all ttyv files in /dev.

What's up?

P.S. I did not do any cvsup.

Thanks in advance
Igor

pxe boot problems

[Mipam]

Hi,

Im trying to install freebsd on a system (i386 system) without cdrom or
floppy.
I created a loader.rc and the kernel (used from /boot/kernel) and I
created an mfsroot from the mfsroot.flp which can be downloaded from
freebsd.org. The kernel is loaded, then mfsroot is loaded.
my loader.rc

echo Loading mfsroot...
load -t mfs_root /mfsroot
echo booting...
echo \007\007
echo initializing h0h0magic...
set boot_userconfig
set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
boot

after mfsroot has been loaded is see:
initializing h0h0magic...
then a loud BEEP and then it stops and the system reboots.
What am i doing wrong? Any hints what to do now?
Bye,

Mipam.

FreeBSD is not Linux.  However, yes, AMD64 is a fully supported
platform which you can run FreeBSD on.  Start reading here:

and there are several Francophone lists you can subscribe to at:

Re: problem making p5-Mysql port

The p5-Mysql port can be built against any of the versions of MySQL
currently available in ports by setting the 'WITH_MYSQL_VER' variable
on the make(1) command line, or in /etc/make.conf or in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you're a portupgrade
user. eg:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/p5-Mysql
# make install WITH_MYSQL_VER=40

which will use the MySQL-4.0.18 client libraries.

Seeing that the p5-Mysql port wants to link against a version of MySQL
which is no-longer available in the ports tree, you may instead wish
to try installing one of the 'databases/p5-DBD-mysqlNN' ports (where
NN is the version of MySQL client you have installed) -- these use the
standard perl DBI/DBD database system and can are a more actively
maintained drop-in replacement for the p5-Mysql stuff.  They are also
what is recommended on the MySQL website nowadays:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Perl.html Works fine with Bugzilla.

Cheers,

Matthew

Problem: Modem Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 with the FreeBSD 4.9

[Godinho, Carla]

Hi dear users of FreeBSD,
I'm having problems when trying to use the Modem Alcatel SpeedTouch 330
with the FreeBSD 4.9. Everytime I tried to start the ppp I get the
following error:
ppp[2742]: tun0: Phase: Unknown protocol 0x7075 (unrecognised protocol)

I've done some research in the Internet and I'm aware that it is tuff to
use this kind of Modem with FreeBSD 4.9.

I will try to describe the installation and configuration steps that
I've done to set this modem, so you can help me:


1) I get the firmware from
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/files/firmware.bin and the
speedtouch-1.2-beta2 from
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html

2) I installed the speedtouch-1.2-beta2 with success

3) Then I copied the firmware.bin to /usr/local/libdata/firmware.bin

4) I connected my Modem to the usb Port and my system recognized the
Modem saying: ugen0 Alcatel Speech Modem 330

4) I configured my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf like this:

#   $Id: ppp.conf.sample,v 1.4 2003/01/01 15:18:33 rogler Exp $
#

default:
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command

adsl:
 set phone <>
 set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 set authkey 14851889
 set device !"/usr/local/sbin/pppoa2 -vpi 0 -vci 35 -e 1 -d /dev/ugen0
-v 2"
 accept chap
 set speed sync
 set timeout 0
 enable lqr
 set lqrperiod 5
 set redial 15 1
 set dial ""
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
 enable dns

###end
__

Where vpi,vci is 0.35 for Portugal

5) Then I started manually the modem_run like this:

/usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -v 2 -f /usr/local/libdata/firmware.bin -d
/dev/ugen0 &

6) I run the command

ppp -background adsl

7) The error is described in the file /var/log/ppp.log:

fsck -n -t ufs did not work...Seems like fsck does not know -t ...
You dont want to see the output from that...  Nearly every inode has problems..

I ran it without the -n and the first entry looks like this:

UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=188225^C[12:39 PM [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/home/danny]#fsck
/dev/vinum/data
** /dev/vinum/data

How do I read an alternative superblock wih a vinum drive???

Something like:

vinum down data.p0.s0 ???
