Re: Simple file count question

The Prob is that your devices are rebuild by devfs at boot time. So set the following in file /etc/devfs.conf (create if necessary): perm fd0 0660 and your permissions will be kept after reboot.

Yes -- that's possible, but perhaps not ideal as all of the IPv6
packets from the net for co-lo2 will first have to go to co-lo1 and
back again.
The way I'd configure this is to set up a gif(4) IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel
(as per RFC 2893) between the machine at co-lo1 and the machine at
co-lo2. You can do that entirely by fiddling with entries in
/etc/rc.conf:
gif_interfaces=gif0
gifconfig_gif0=${thisIP4} ${thatIP4}
ipv6_enable=YES
ifconfig_gif0_alias0=inet6 ${thisIP6}/64
where ${thisIP4} is the IPv4 network interface address on the local
machine, ${thatIP4} is the address of the machine in the other co-lo
and ${thisIP6} is the IPv6 address you assign to the the local
system. Do the same deal on the other system, where obviously, which
addresses are local and which are remote will be the other way round.
On the machine without the IPv6 connectivity, you'll additionally
need:
ipv6_defaultrouter=-interface gif0
and on the co-lo1 machine you may need to add a static route telling
it how to reach the machine at co-lo2 -- see the section on
'ipv6_static_routes' in /etc/default/rc.conf.

Re: good things to say
That's a nice list if not a bit over enthusiastic, some of the things that you listed as being easy aren't necessarily easy... postfix, erp, crm, apache... software like that needs much configuration. FreeBSD is a foundation and framework for allowing trusted tools to work cooperatively in a stable, secure fashion and is generally open source. Excluding of course some GPL utilities which we BSD people tolerate mainly since we tend to need them. One of the points I agreed with the most is that it may reduce your staff, but it's a multipart point. You're 1. going to have trouble finding people who aren't saturated by linux ideology. 2. going to have trouble finding people capable of administering large networks. 3. going to have trouble finding people who can maintain work by previous maintainers. that's probably 3 of the most common problems. This is a world where software engineer, point click happy child and gui dependent tinkerer tend to be classified into the same category.

There are as many commands as there are programs available to run on FreeBSD-5.2, which is at least of the order of tens of thousands. Then there are a huge number of command line switches and options to modify the behaviour of those.

Re: Simple file count question

So I am in my dir and want to count how many files begin with db and show me the number. I hope you can help me and thank you in advance for any help you may give As you can see, the key command is 'wc'. It's a nice, simple little command that does one thing and one thing well - it counts words. If you don't give it any flags, it tells you the number of lines, words, and bytes. Using -l will count the number of lines. So you pipe the output of a command to it and it will count stuff for you. Thus: $ ls db* |wc -l will give you a single number telling you the number of lines in its input; in this case, the input is the output of 'ls db*', which is a simple listing of all the files in the current directory beginning with 'db'. Thus, you get a count of the number of files in the directory that begin with db. A very typical Un*x way of doing things - string together building block commands to get your output.

This was a physical disk problem and in an attempt to recover as much data as possible I dd'ed it to another disk (dd if=ad3 of=ad1 bs=8192 conv=noerror). This may or may not work, depending on details you haven't reported. I can't think of anything else. Originally I ran dd without the conv=noerror and it stopped at around 25GB (the disk is a 100GB). The destination disk is 123GB but to my knowledge that is acceptable for dd. During the process a number (maybe eight to ten) I/O errors were reported. Previously I believe reading data from these areas on the disk caused Vinum to lose the disk (under 4-STABLE), I presume this was by design, or unavoidable. Under 5.2.1-p1 GEOM removed the disk totally. The dd was done using the rescue disk from 4.9-RELEASE (to avoid GEOM). I can actually start vinum and mount the RAID-0 array with no trouble (Vinum reports no errors I can see). Since I wrote this I posted a reply stating that whatever files I try and open (mostly my personal video collection), gstat reports no activity from ad3 -- the replaced disk. A lot of the indexes from the AVIs are dead. I don't really know how I can test the integrity of files from the replaced disk... A good start would be to read the documentation at http://www.vinumvm.org/. Unresolved bugs, 27 Feb 2000. -- this doesn't seem to have applied. When I started vinum (I previously ran dumpconfig) with create -f myconfig my data plex (comprised 2*120GB and the replaced 100GB) was listed as up. At this point I tried the fsck with an error about invalid superblocks, so I restored those on /dev/vinum/data with tunefs -A. fsck then failed with the ``cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead'' error. I've read the replacing a failed Vinum drive a couple of times now but I still don't quite understand it. Does this apply to RAID-0? Surely I can't revive a concatenated array? I assume this must only apply to RAID-1 and RAID-5 (and maybe some of the others in between I know nothing about). Reading more about debugging vinum I found this oddity (maybe it isn't, since it's actually before the config): [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive0: -- ad1.config --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive1: -- ad2.config diff on ad2.config and ad3.config instead gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive1: -- ad2.config --- IN VINOpurple.lewiz.orgvinumdrive2?;[EMAIL PROTECTED] root state up ^-- ad3.config There are a few extra chars different after the vinumdrive line, from those in ad1 and ad2. This probably isn't anything? I've stopped short of compiling vinum with debugging options (this was under kernel panics, which I'm not having). I'll go ahead and do this though if it can provide any more info.

dating a ports tree
For CVSuping a ports tree (e.g., the ports distribution from a release CD) for the first time (i.e., no preexisting checkouts file), section 4.3 of Salvo Bartolotta's CVSup Advanced Points article (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/cvsup-advanced/article .html) recommends, you should specify a date as close as possible to that of `shipping' of your ports tree. It's easy enough to do this roughly, but I'm curious if anyone knows an official (or at least surefire) way to easily and precisely determine the shipping date of a ports tree (realizing that the date keyword will specify a time down to the second). I'm not trying to say this is essential, but if there's a best practice, I'd like to know. Please CC to my address. Thank you for your time and knowledge/cleverness.

I'd guess that both OSes will manage the trivial task of adding up the size of all the files under that directory without making silly errors. I guess there's something which either isn't included in the share as produced by Samba, or that Windows assumes it can ignore, validly on a native Windows filesystem but not on a Samba share.

on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. But basically it boils
down to providing a sufficiently powerful machine with good network
bandwidth and plenty of free space and agreeing to certain conditions

Always good to see a new mirror in previously uncharted territory.
Well, it's not quite right. There was one ({www|ftp}.bg.freebsd.org),

USB generic driver problems
Repost...
As a followup, I modified the /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/ugen.c source to
provide some additional debugging output in the ugen_set_config() function
(relevant code at bottom). This is the code responsible for creating the
device structure for the USB device endpoints after retrieving the
endpoint addresses from the USB device (i.e. /dev/ugen0.EE). The
make_dev(9) call fails (see log entries below) with a non zero status.
Given the endpoints returned by the device were valid, I'm at a loss as to
why. The device works correctly under Windows 2000 (fyi). Is this a
problem with the my device, a bug, or ???

Thank you. I will try tun0 as my nat interface. However, if lets say, the

will test and post my results. Thanks.
You should have ppp do the NAT, yes. If you use ppp with the -auto or -ddial,
you can have on-demand dialing where ppp will attempt to bring up the link if
it drops. That means NAT should handle the link drop better (since ppp knows
to use the new connection's IP), and it also means that your firewall rules
can simply use tun0.

4.9 installation woes (on thinkpad 560X)
I was advised by a few people (including the laptop's previous owner) that FreeBSD 5.x would be quite difficult to get working with sound, and that it would be a better idea to try with 4.9. I have just spent a few hours carefully reinstalling the laptop with FreeBSD 4.9. Restart for its first boot ... and it won't. It sits there at F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD Default: F2 _ and seems to consider the keyboard beneath its notice. Odd, since the caps lock light goes on and off as expected. But nothing will get it off this screen. The DOS partition is a 20 meg partition for IBM system tools, as yet not installed. It's also before the FreeBSD partition on the disk, if that's relevant. Is there anything I can do apart from starting over? (And how to make sure it doesn't do this again?) - d. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to create it in /etc/libmap.conf. Safest bet is to copy the example shown in the port's message. Maybe you need to change the path for flash.

After linux-flashplugin6 I found the file libflashplayer.so and I added as a path in konqueror browser (Configure - Plugins) and I click on scan, but it doesnot scan and says nspluginscan excutable cannot be found - netscape plugin cant be scaned Mmmm. Could you try running 'whereis nspluginscan'. If it shows nothing than apparently the package you used doesn't include motif/nsplugin support in kdebase. That would be quite bad! Standard port build does include it as far as I know, or it may depend on whether you already have motif/lesstiff libraries. If this is indeed the problem, you can build kdebase from ports and you should also report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that plugin support is missing in the package. It should be in there. I remember having an email exange with a gentleman who had the same problem, but he was building from ports. Perhaps a motif dependency on kdebase is needed to ensure nsplugin support. As much as we all hate them ;-), plugins are important if only for flash which only works as a plugin. Java with konqueror works through a KPart and not through the nsplugin method. For what it's worth I have: % pkg_info | grep motif open-motif-2.2.2_2 Motif X11 Toolkit (industry standard GUI (IEEE 1295)) I don't know if I got that when building KDE or if I had it before. It is needed for rendering Linux plugins that use motif. Path I added is /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so I have just /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/ Shall I install netscape? If i do so, does it work fine with this stuff? or same? In File associations I cannot see anything called netscape plugin. I would appreciate if you help me more in this issue, OK, taking into account the above, the nsplugins appear as a choice for embedded playing, that is the second tab in the right side pane in Konq's config dialog. So you click the mime type and then embedding on the right. In that tab, if you click add you get a list of KParts and some other embedded things perhaps, one of them is Netscape plugin viewer (nsplugin). If you don't see this at all, that might be another hint that your package may not have nsplugin support at all. And i thanks your previous help You're welcome. Would be better if it would work though :) I'm currently rebuilding all of KDE to update to 3.2.1 and get over the libc_r - libpthread name change on -CURRENT as of a week ago, I can't provide you with working packages for 5.1.

This is probably a stupid question. I have been having problems correctly installing qmail-scanner-1.21 on my test webmail servers. I get this error: Testing suid nature of /usr/bin/perl... Whoa - broken perl install found. Cannot even run a simple script setuid Installation of Qmail-Scanner FAILED Error was: Checking for setuid nature of perl install What follows should be the UID of the qscand acount... uid=1013 See FAQ for further details if I look in /usr/bin I see: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel23 Nov 6 11:49 suidperl - /usr/local/bin/suidperl if I do a ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep suidperl I get nothing. So the SymLink is pointing to nothing? I did: cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 make install clean use.perl port Should I not use perl 5.8? did they remove the suidperl in 5.8?

SiS 5513 ATA Controller
Hello, I have an SiS 5513 ATA Controller on an ASUS P4S333 motherboard and I'm trying to get it to do UDMA5 for me, but for some reason it only goes to UDMA2. The command I used to try to set it to UDMA5 was: atacontrol 0 UDMA5 UDMA5, but that just returned UDMA33 for both IDE channels. Does anyone know if FreeBSD (5.2.1) supports this ATA controller at that setting? If so, how do I accomplish it? Thank you, Sean Concerned about your privacy?

4.4-RELEASE as a NAT/gateway
Hey, I'm having some issues convincing my old Pentium 90 to behave as a basic NAT box and gateway.. I've been a CCNA for nearly three years now and I still haven't had a chance to properly play with other people's networks, so I'm trying to make my own... but to no avail. I downloaded the 5.x manual to help me set up the config files and install the appropriate ports, but the machine doesn't seem to want to forward packets. ipfw kicks in fine, natd seems to kick in fine.. I can hand-boot routed and that seems to behave properly.. but nothing goes from dc0 to rl0, for some reason beyond me. Here's a snippet of my rc.conf if it helps: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ifconfig_dc0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway_enable=YES natd_enable=YES natd_interface=rl0 natd_flags= firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN Is there any thing wrong with those lines? I could type out my entire rc.conf if it's necessary... Anyone else have similar problems? -- Matt Coe, CCNA Member-At-Large, Dalhousie University CS Society Fall 2003 'Ford!

From bsd: 390 /home/henninb/jpg From windows: 372KB windows Is it because of the share or the change in platform? How did you measure it on Windows? I suspect what's happening is that Windows gave you the actual sum of the sizes of all the files, whereas du(1) counts the space *used* by all the files. In other words, the Windows tool is giving a count in bytes, whereas du(1) is giving a count in disk blocks (rounded up to the nearest block, because that space is unavailable for other files to use). It may have. Starting with W2K, if you right click a file and select properties, you are given two file sizes: Size and Size on disk. Size on disk is the total size - file size and the so-called slack space. Using any other method (such as Explorer or the dir command) gives only the file size. Always be careful to compare apples to apples ;) To get tangential for a moment, an interesting exercise is to discover how many different methods Windows has for reporting total harddrive size and how many different values are returned. An additional exercise for the advanced student is to find out why different methods report values.

scsi tape errors
I am getting error messages that don't make much sense. They would lead me to beleive that the tape is bad... I guess. Yet, I have a hard time beleiving that the two out of four tapes is bad. issuing an 'mt erase' it get an input/output error. below are the kernel messages. could two tapes suddenly just become 'bad'? Since these are ait tapes and have a 64k ram buffer, I'm wondering if there may be some bad data there and if there is a way to clear it... The tape unit is a sony sdx300c. I've updated it to the latest firmware. Its attached to an adaptec 2940wide. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. == dmesg == ... lots of stuff deleted ...
