converting users from FreeBSD to linux (PAM)
I have a need of transfering about twenty user accounts from FreeBSD to Linux(Debian) Is there any way of keeping the PAM passwords in tact? (A tool that allows for migration in either direction would be ideal) My current solution is tell everyone that their password has expired and they need to type in a new one.

The right mouse button pops up small rectange with a Paste area, but this doesn't work. If it doesn't work the X-windows way, then it probably works more like the way it does in windows: use the left mouse button to select the text, then right click to get a popup menu which should have 'cut' and 'copy' entries. Select whicher you require. Then left click to move the cursor to the insert point, right click to bring up the menu and select paste. You may also find that you can select the area, then left mouse down on the selection and drag to where you want it to go. (Which is a feature of OpenOffice that I personally hate because I want left mouse to *always* select text.) It's possible that you may have difficulty cut'n'pasting between applications that use different paradigms -- there may be more than one cut-buffer under the hood as well.

Not only that, but you can't do anything that even smacks of changing the flags between two exported subdirectories on a single partition. Or in other words, it's the partition that gets exported, rather than the particular directory trees you specify. I think, although I could be wrong, that if you export, say, /usr/src which happens to reside on the /usr partition, then an NFS client can be persuaded to access files from anywhere on the /usr partition. What you should do is put the two subdirectories on the same line in the exports file: /usr/ports /usr/src -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Search Path in bash2
I am quoting one response I received, but my thanks to everyone who answered. I went to the system in question and figured I would methodically try every suggestion I received until I either exhausted all possibilities or something worked. I was hoping for a global solution that would not require modifying each user's .bash_profile, and it turns out that /etc/profile appears to do the trick. After one false start of setting $path instead of $PATH, I added the following line which I have broken for readability: PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc:/usr/X11R6/bin:~/bin This appears to correctly modify the behavior in the desired manner. Again, many thanks to all who answered. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Information Technology Division Network Operations Group Peter Risdon writes: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter- active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com- mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. But so far as I have seen, at least on FreeBSD, /etc/profile does not generally contain path info. This is normally set in ~/.profile and the default contains something like this: # remove /usr/games and /usr/X11R6/bin if you want PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/X11R6/ bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH So my guess is that to conform closely to this way of doing things, add the path to each user's ~/.profile and also to /usr/share/skel/dot.profile so it is there immediately for new users. Alternatively, unless someone contradicts this, the man page seems to suggest you could add a path to /etc/profile and it would then be system-wide. I have never done this myself, though, so can't vouch for it whereas I have edited ~/.profile frequently. HTH.

CVSUP problem on SUN ULTRA 10 with CURRENT
Greetings everyone, I have been having a problem trying to get CVSUP working correctly on a SUN ULTRA 10 (256MB 40GB HDD) with CURRENT, i can ftp in the sources and do full build worlds and kernel without any problems, but even after i blow away all the src, ports, and sup, directories and it start recreating them when i run CVSUP it gets stuck and has a weird retry time.

RE: Counter in php script
Thanks, a really great reply.
Have some questions about the fine details.
The counter file is an single line with any size numeric
field starting in position 1?
Like this, right?
200400
Does the file have to be an .txt file?
What happens if the counter file is in use and locked?
Does the second request pause until file is free?
If the counter file has no path prefix, then it's looked for
in the same location as the script, right?
$counter_file = 'counter.php'

The counter file is an single line with any size numeric field starting in position 1? Like this, right? 200400 Looks like it. If the file isn't there already, the script creates it. Does the file have to be an .txt file? It can have any name you like, if that's what you mean. The contents are always going to be the same. What happens if the counter file is in use and locked? Does the second request pause until file is free? File locking is OS dependent. More particularly, php file locking works fine with other attempts to access the file from thingies that are also using the same type of file locking as php. So, I believe the conservative answer here is: yes, on FreeBSD, at least so far as other attempts from php scripts to access the file are concerned. If the counter file has no path prefix, then it's looked for in the same location as the script, right? $counter_file = 'counter.php' Yes, though personally I prefer to be anal and state the full path. If you might use the file in a number of locations in an expanded script and need to refer to this path more than once, set it once as: $filepath = '/usr/home/someuser/counters/'; and edit just that line when you need to, then use: $counter_file = $filepath.counter.php; or similar throughout the script. Bear in mind that the file will be written as the default apache user, probably www, so the directory needs appropriate permissions.

Re: nVidia Riva TNT2 M64 problem on FreeBSD4.9
Hi. I've bought a ATI Radion 9000 64Mb and now I'm happy! It runs movies of any kind with postprocessing. I've already tested it by running Quake2 and Quake3arena with Wine under FreeBSD 4.9. They both are looking more alive than under Windows with nVidia TNT2! Even more if you believe top, 60% of CPU is idle while playing Quake2 with Wine! (Coppermine 900, heated to 1008MHz, 112MHz external) If someone interested here is as I configured the card under FreeBSD 4.9: 1) I had very messed XF86Config after my failed attempts to set up nVidia TNT2 (I will sell it to hell). So I recreated one with /stand/sysinstall - Configure - XFree86 - xf86cfg -textmode. I prefer text mode configuration. The string ''Driver something'' substituted with ''Driver radeon''. 2) Included ''device radeondrm'' in my kernel config and ensured that ''device agp'' is there too. Recompiled and installed a new kernel. (I like the way of this in FreeBSD!) 3) That's all. If someone has any suggestions or remarks then please email me.

Re: kernel compile error
[CC'd to -questions so that it gets archived] On Sunday 29 February 2004 04:56, you wrote: Never run make world literally. Run make buildworld, make kernel, make installworld, mergemaster. Or is it possible that my GENERIC file is wrong? Yes, you edited too much out. This is a FAQ: #device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and i dont have any SCSI devices. Is it still needed? Can you give me specific instructions to clean my slate and start over from the buildworld part? It's needed because USB disks work through the SCSI interface, that is as if they were SCSI disks. IS there a howto that is very detailed that you have? The Handbook. Apart from that, for kernel options and devices you can look at /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES for architecture independent stuff, and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES for specific i386 kernel options and other knobs. In 4.x this used to be the LINT file. btw, i did the thing the other guy said to do cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ edited GENERIC file couldn't find cd ../compile/GENERIC [i typed it as you wrote, didnt work, so i went into ../compile and #ls but no files This is often (wrongly) referred to as the old method to build a kernel. You'll use configure, make depend, make install if you want to compile a custom kernel against your installed version (world) of FreeBSD. The often (wrongly) called new method is make kernel KERNCONF=BLAH from /usr/src. Now you are building a kernel against what's in your object tree (/usr/obj). Normally it will be have been populated when you did a make buildworld. You're going to install that version (world) later on, so you'll want a kernel that is built against this future world and with its toolchain. The difference seems subtle, but if you don't do this, you may find yourself with an unbootable kernel after you've run installworld, or a kernel that boots but a userland that gives you nothing but coredumps if it doesn't panic at init right away. Of course you can have a situation in which your object tree holds the same world that you're currently running and it is in that case and in that case only that you can safely use either method to build a custom kernel. To be fair, you can get away with using the wrong kernel build method if there's only minor differences between the currently installed and the newly built worlds if you're lucky but still it may cause certain quirks and instabilities that are quite impossible to pin down. Things like seemingly random panics or reboots that never get explained. so i went into #cd /usr/src and then make clean make depend make make install I think this effectly translates to running make world. and it worked out. could i work with that?? or should i do a clean slate reinstall? Well, I wouldn't recommend making it into a habit but if you got your bootable system with kernel and world from the same codebase (in sync as they say) and it runs OK, then just stick with it. Please note that if all you want is to rebuild your kernel without updating FreeBSD itself, you don't have to cvsup or make world at all. Just use the so-called old method. Also, in that case you only need the kernel source which you can simply extract from your install CD manually or with sysinstall. FreeBSD kernels are not versioned, the whole FreeBSD OS is. Cvsup and building world is moving to another version and in that case the kernel you build while going through your updating procedure should match that OS version. With Linux, the kernel *is* seperately versioned and the rest of a distribution can be considered something like our ports. So it's different concepts and it seems to never cease confusing the heck out of people :) HTH, Dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gphoto2 segfaults

You've probably got /usr/ports and /usr/src on the same disk partition. You can't export two chunks of the same partition to the same set of client hosts with different flags. Not only that, but you can't do anything that even smacks of changing the flags between two exported subdirectories on a single partition. Or in other words, it's the partition that gets exported, rather than the particular directory trees you specify. I think, although I could be wrong, that if you export, say, /usr/src which happens to reside on the /usr partition, then an NFS client can be persuaded to access files from anywhere on the /usr partition. What you should do is put the two subdirectories on the same line in the exports file: /usr/ports /usr/src -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Cheers, Matthew Thanks for a very clear explanation Matthew. I'd missed a couple of critical points, namely that you can only have one line in exports per filesystem, and also that you can specify multiple paths on one line. Problem solved!

Re: slice X?
I have installed FreeBSD before, but it has been a while since I've messed around with it. I am attempting to install on my secondary desktop machine which also runs Linux. ad0s1-ad0s3 are linux partitions as well as ad0s4 which is an extended partition (containing more linux partitions). When I try to create a new slice, it gives it the name 'X' which causes a problem when I try to create new partitions on that slice: Unable to create partitons on device: /dev/X I didn't see anything about this in the FAQ. Anyone have any ideas? Only 4 _primary slices_ are allowed on any disk. From your narrative above, it sounds like you already have that many used up on the disk - eg ad0s1, ad0s2, ad0s3, ad0s4. If so, the system will not allow you to create any more - an ad0s5 or beyond. Since FreeBSD must be installed in a primary slice, you will have to do something about your current disk use. You will need to add a new disk or reorganize the existing disk to consolidate its use so you can free up one slice designation. Do you really need that many separate slices dedicated to Linux? Do you have 4 different versions of Linux running on the machine? I am not a Linux user, but if you have only one version of Linux running (or 2 or 3) can't it just use one slice which is subdivided to make separate file systems - essentially the way it is done in FreeBSD?If so, then you would need only one primary slice per version of Linux and one for FreeBSD. If you really need all those primary slices for Linux, then you will need another disk in order to add FreeBSD. I haven't tried to create more than 4 primary slices on a disk so I don't know what the error messages look like. If it makes things look like it created a slice called 'x', then it is kind of poor about how it reports things. It will not have created a usable slice no matter what it appears to call things. It most properly should tell you the operation failed or is not possible. So, of course, if it didn't really create the slice, it will not be able to create partitions withing that slice. Note in this, the difference between a primary slice and a partition which subdivides a slice. Your narrative appears to use the terms consistent with the FreeBSD standard, so I am assuming you know this, but this issue seems to result in many misunderstandings. The MS world calls a partition and, unfortunately so does a few FreeBSD utillities that fail to follow the FreeBSD standard. All of which can add to the confusion. jerry Thanks, Aaron ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It has to have a completely empty line - not even any white space characters on it.

ipfw ruleset traversal question
I'm trying to port my linux netfilter/iptables firewall to 5.2.1-RESLEASE. Iptables has the concept of chains. There are three defined by the system: INPUT, FORWARD OUTPUT. Packets coming into the system that are destined for a local process traverse the INPUT chain only, packet generated by the system, and leaving it, traverse the OUTPUT chain only, and packets that are simply passing through the system traverse the FORWARD chain only. One nice benefit of this, is that inbound packets don't have to traverse rules for outbound packets and vice-versa. This allows efficient grouping of rules and reduces the performance hit of packets having to be checked by all rules. How can I set up my ipfw ruleset so that I can achieve that same benefit?

I went to the system in question and figured I would methodically try every suggestion I received until I either exhausted all possibilities or something worked. I was hoping for a global solution that would not require modifying each user's .bash_profile, and it turns out that /etc/profile appears to do the trick. After one false start of setting $path instead of $PATH, I added the following line which I have broken for readability: PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc:/usr/X11R6/bin:~/bin This appears to correctly modify the behavior in the desired manner. Again, many thanks to all who answered. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Information Technology Division Network Operations Group Peter Risdon writes: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter- active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com- mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. But so far as I have seen, at least on FreeBSD, /etc/profile does not generally contain path info. This is normally set in ~/.profile and the default contains something like this: # remove /usr/games and /usr/X11R6/bin if you want PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/X11R6/ bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH So my guess is that to conform closely to this way of doing things, add the path to each user's ~/.profile and also to /usr/share/skel/dot.profile so it is there immediately for new users. Alternatively, unless someone contradicts this, the man page seems to suggest you could add a path to /etc/profile and it would then be system-wide.

After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable If I am following you correctly, then having a ~/,bashrc, ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file is worthless, if bash reads only the first file that it finds. I am referring in this scenario to the ~/.bash_profile file. That isn't exactly what I gleamed from the FreeBSD book by Annelise Anderson. Perhaps what she is referring to is an older version of bash. I am not insinuating that you are incorrect; I am just trying to get the most accurate information in regards to how bash works.

Automount pcmcia flash reader?
Running freeBSD 4.9. I have a 4-in-1 pcmcia flash memory reader from CompUSA, and managed to get it to work with my laptop. I have been playing around with it and found this page: http://www.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html Automounting is new to me, so I tried following the steps; I got all the way through step 2, 'configuring mount', so I can now just type: mount /camera and it will mount the card. (Called it camera for my own personal reference.) So this is in my /etc/fstab: /dev/ad8s1 /camera msdos rw,noauto 0 0 Now, trying to get through step 3, configuring automount. I followed the instructions to add these to my rc.conf: portmap_enable=YES amd_enable=YES amd_flags=-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map Created the /.amd_mnt directory, and added this to my amd.map: localhost/cameratype:=program;fs:=/camera;\ mount:=/sbin/mount mount /camera;\ unmount:=/sbin/umount umount /camera But according to the page, it seems it should work after this; it does, however, not. I have a symlink that I can't remove that is: /host/localhost/camera -- /camera But accessing either directory does not result in the card being automounted. I don't have an amd.conf. Should I, and if so, what should be in it? ~Sara~ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One nice benefit of this, is that inbound packets don't have to traverse rules for outbound packets and vice-versa. This allows efficient grouping of rules and reduces the performance hit of packets having to be checked by all rules. How can I set up my ipfw ruleset so that I can achieve that same benefit?

I added the drive in the vinum config, similar to the procedure here: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html I tried to start my failed subdisk and it said the device was busy...I set the state to obsolete and it still said the device was busy when I tried to start the subdisk.

I added the drive in the vinum config, similar to the procedure here: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html I tried to start my failed subdisk and it said the device was busy...I set the state to obsolete and it still said the device was busy when I tried to start the subdisk.

Upgrading KDE

Adaptec 2410SA starts doing this: aac0: COMMAND 0xc551a7e8 TIMEOUT AFTER 147 SECONDS
Hi I have an Adaptec 2410SA RAID card with 3 drives attached, 2 in a RAID 1 array and one as a separate disk. This has been working under 5.2-RELEASE in my test server for some time now. However, for some reason the machine locked up (may not be related) and I had to do a hard reset. Now the machine, when it tries to check the two aacd volumes on this controller, starts printing out this message below every 20 seconds or so and the disk volumes cannot be used. Each new IO attempt triggers a new set of these messages. The hex number after the COMMAND word is different for each new IO request but of course stays the same for repeated messages relating to the same original IO request aac0: COMMAND 0xc551a7e8 TIMEOUT AFTER 147 SECONDS I have googled on this and similar posts related to 2120S controllers all seemed to have different causes and fixes... Any hints or ideas on what is causing this? I can get into the controller at POST time and it checks out...

Re: OpenLdap client

I have installed openldap-client-2.1.22 and pam_ldap-1.6.4. The ldapsearch gives the correct answer when it is invoked with necessary arguments. I tried to configure pam.conf so that is uses pam_ldap.so for authentication and I tested many cases ( changing the arguments and things like this) but nobody can log in. I want to know if other things except pam.conf must be configured and if pam.conf must be configured can anybody send me a sample. Sorry to say, but FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't support LDAP the way you want. You can authenticate users with pam_ldap for other purposes, but not for a shell login. 4.9 still lacks nss support which is essential. 5.2-RELEASE which is completely dynamically linked is the first release with full ldap login support.

It really seems like the kde-3.2 problems are old dependancies that haven't been upgraded. You probably have disconnected links in the port database at this point. I had problems getting 3.2 to install it was much later in the process. Portupgrade seemed to do a great job until there were make problems. A touch of a couple of kdevelop files worked on fruitsalad but not from the east coast to the west coast of the US. I did a -pufa upgrade on Saturday and 13 hours later, my entire port tree was rebuilt. KDE-3.2 will build cleanly at this point. You are just having problems getting to where you can do this.
