Wine 20040505 problem

2004-05-13 Thread Jesse Guardiani
Hmmm,

Just compiled Wine 20040505 on FBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
and now I can't use the File-Open command in notepad.

Any ideas?

implementing password policies

2004-05-13 Thread Chris Ochs
We need to implement a password policy that does not allow a user to pick a
password that is the same as any of their last 4 passwords.  Any ideas on
how to do this on freebsd?  Would this require a custom PAM module or is
there already one out there that can do this?

Creating periodic cron jobs

2004-05-13 Thread Robert Fitzpatrick
I am trying to create a quarter-daily cron job on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 as
follows in /etc/crontab:

05 0,6,12,18 * * * root  periodic quarter-daily

I created the /etc/periodic/quarter-daily directory and placed my script
there. After I ran 'crontab -u root /etc/crontab', now I am getting
these mail messages below, it seems I have created, for example, cron
jobs as 'root /usr/libexec/atrun' in addition to the usual
'/usr/libexec/atrun'. It has done this for daily, weekly, etc. as well.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Move a locked file

2004-05-13 Thread Michael Alexander
Hi All:
I have a multi-boot 3 unix box I'm toying with. I was using the Debian
partition as my main work station for a while... till I broke it. I have
some e-mails and addresses on that partition I would like to export to
the other partitions, perhaps even create a permanent reference file to
share system wide. The main problem I have, beside the fact that, in my
lust for UNIX POWER, I keep breaking things:), is that the Evolution
files in my mostly-dead Debian partition are locked and resist any
attempt to move them. Any thoughts on gaining access to these files to
copy or move them? 

 BTW I'm thinking of using Knoppix as my recovery tool, and the boot
error on Debian is: 

Enter runlevel 5
ID 1 respawning too fast; waite for five minute.
ID 2 respawning too fast; waite for five minute.

Network setup question

2004-05-13 Thread Schizik
Hello, everyone!


I do need following setup, but I have no idea how it can be acomplished.

Internal Network  -- Gateway   Internet link 1
   |__ Internet link 2


Internal network uses private IP space
All computers on internal network connect to gateway
with VPN (gateway has mpd running) assigned IPs are
also private space, gateway does NAT.

There are 2 classes of users on Internal network
They are assigned VPN IPs from two different private networks
(like 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x)

The problem is that traffic from 10.0.1.x should be NATed and send via
Internet link 1, while traffic from 10.0.2.x should be NATed and send via
Internet link 2.

Is this kind of setup possible?


Cheers,
 Alex.

hw.pcic.intr_path=1 device hint for 5x

2004-05-13 Thread yussef
I have a laptop which requires the sysctl hw.pcic.intr_path=1 to be set for the 
laptop to not get a panic in 4.x.
I'm trying to do a fresh install of 5.2.1, but have not found the equivalent 
device.hint.
I've tried hint.pcic.0.disable=1, as well as the older sysctl's hw.pcic.intr_path=1 
and hw.pcic.irq=0 [the latter two are suggested in the handbook]. im not sure if the 
sysctl's are still valid in 5.x, but all the above values still resulted in a kernel 
panic at:
cbb0: TI4410 PCI-CardBus Bridge at device 10.0 on pci0
cardbus0: CardBus bus on cbb0
pccard-: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb0
pci_cfgintr_virgin: using routable interrupt 4

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
...
fault virtual address = 0xeb902
trap number = 12

google shows this issue seems to be related to systems with the sis 630 chipset, which 
is what my laptop has. if i was able to install 4.x, i figure its probably possible 
with 5.x too, i just need to figure out the proper device hints.

thanks and please cc me, im not currently on the mailing list.

Configuring Samba for Printing on WinXP Machine

2004-05-13 Thread Richard Liang
Hi,

I recently went through all of this with a Windows 2000 machine; I ended up 
doing it using Samba and CUPS.  Apparently there are ways to do it using lpd 
and apsfilter, but I think using CUPS is the cleanest solution.

Configuring Samba won't be too bad if you're only going to be accessing 
other shares, rather than setting up shares on the FreeBSD box.  In that 
case, not very much configuration is needed; only the smbclient and smbspool 
programs (these are the client programs that access other shares).  Get 
familiar with SWAT; it's a real nice tool and makes configuring Samba mostly 
painless.  Using SWAT, you can change the workgroup name that you want the 
FreeBSD box to access, and the NetBIOS name of the FreeBSD box.  Note that 
if you do want to set up Samba shares on your FreeBSD box, you'll need to 
set Encrypt Passwords to yes and use smbpasswd to maintain Samba's set of 
username/passwords that allow Windows users to access the FreeBSD shares.

First, make sure it works by generating a file that is ready to be sent 
direct to your printer.  By that I mean a file in your printer's native 
raster format.  You can do this using ghostscript and a postscript file (or, 
if your printer is already postscript, you can just send the postscript file 
directly).  Use smbclient to do this.  If it works, then your Samba 
configuration is good enough.

Next, you will need to create a symlink to the smbspool program in 
/usr/local/libexec/backend (this is where CUPS keeps all of the transport 
programs it uses to deliver jobs to the printers).  Once this is done, use 
the CUPS tools to add a Windows network printer using Samba.  It will ask 
for the name of the printer, and prompt you with smb:.  This is the name 
of the printer share.  In my experience you will also need to provide a 
username/password to CUPS in the name; this is the user account which all 
the printing will be done under.  I used the Guest account so that I 
wouldn't have my password in a file (albeit an unreadable file).  In any 
case then the full name you will have to put here is something like
smb://username:password@Windows machine name/printer share name
(Type smbclient -L Windows machine name to find all the available shares 
on this machine, using the -U option if your username is different on the 
FreeBSD and Windows boxes.)

From there you should be scot free from the parts concerning Samba.  
Potential gotchas:
1) if your printer is not natively supported by CUPS' drivers, you can use 
foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine to generate a driver for your printer.  
Follow the documentation on www.linuxprinting.org to get the printing going 
in this scenario; note you will need to install the foomatic-rip script 
yourself (I couldn't find it in ports).

2) If you set up shares on your FreeBSD box, make sure you don't have LDAP 
support enabled when you compile.  I did by accident and it kept me from 
administering the Samba password file.

Another neat printing solution I found online, using only lpd, is outlined 
on this website:
http://www.freebsddiary.org/samba.php
It involves printing to a dummy fifo, then using smbspool to send the 
contents of the fifo to the printer.

Hope this helps,

Richard

The journalling file system saga

2004-05-13 Thread John Monkey
Ladies and Gents,

The lack of a journalling file system for FreeBSD has been discussed 
over and over on the mailing lists. I have read and understood all the 
advocacy for softupdates and background fsck. Softupdates gives great 
performance benefits. Background fsck is useful, but with seriously 
degraded performance until it completes.

I had to build a storage system this week with a capacity of 1.6TB.
Regrettfully I decided to use Linux with XFS as the thought of waiting 
for fsck to complete in the event of a problem makes me wince. I 
experimented with FreeBSD, using two 800GB partitions and things like 
that, but in the end it comes back to the fsck if for any reason the 
machine goes down uncleanly.

I am a big advocate of FreeBSD. I have great reliability on our 60+ 
FreeBSD machines. I'm ignoring all suggestions for UPSs and the like. I 
know all about that. That's not the point. The crux is FreeBSD needs a 
journalling file system, preferably IMHO based on UFS which we are all 
used to. Solaris has logging. It works fine for everything we use it 
for. It's a mount option, for those who don't know about it. In other 
words I can turn it on off. If I've had to turn away from FreeBSD for 
this requirement, I can imagine many other people will have too.

There's talk of XFS and Reiserfs ports and this and that, the legal 
issues of GPL code, blah blah blah. I see that Wasabi provide (sell) a 
journalling file system that builds on the established and trusted 
Berkeley Unix Filesystem [1]. I have no idea of the cost. The point is, 
it can be done.

Let's look at the reality of getting a journalling file system into 
FreeBSD. What would it cost to commission someone who knows enough about 
file systems (preferably UFS IMHO) to write the code? Would anyone be 
prepared to contribute to a fund to get this done? How long would it 
take? Is anyone remotely interested in this? I would propose that those 
who put up the money get to decide how the journalling would be 
implemented. No ticket, no laundry

Is anyone remotely interested in this?

Cheers,
John.

Yes, you need to mount it. Unfortunately, this will only work with
ext2/3 Linux slice (e.g. ReiserFS is not supported by FreeBSD).

If it's indeed an ext2/3 partition, you can mount it with the following
command (you should not write to Linux slices from FreeBSD in order
to prevent data corruption, so the disk is mounted read-only).

# mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/adNsS /mnt/linux

You can determine N (the device number of the hard drive) with the following
command:

# dmesg | grep ^ad

To find out the right slice S, run the following:

# fdisk /dev/adN

Now you have all the ingredients, so something like

# mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/ad2s1 /mnt/linux

will probably work for you.

The only reason i still install windows on my desktop is to
play games. I would gladly give up the microsoft products and most of my
friends would do so too if it wasn't for the reason mentioned above.
You may say that games are not important but i must disagree. How can one
claim to make an OS for workstations if you can not play games in that OS.
Games are the peak of multimedia aplications. Just take a look at the
slashdot.org site and you will see that every day the GAMES section has
the most new news.
If we want an alternative to windows (we wants it) than maybe we should
concentrate our energies on making a desktop. But these are just the
rambling words of a guy that is frustrated of having to use microsoft
operating systems, having to pay a lot of money for them and then getting
the quality that we all know.

Problem is not quality of fbsd. Problem is that you have to emulate 
proprietary Windoz (with proprietary DirectX) to run games, because that

Greetings!

Well I think I will add my 2 cents to Wine Gaming thread.

I have succesfully played Diablo2 under Wine, including
network games, untill last Wine release, with it D2 will just
hang while starting to play first Blizzard trailer. :-(

Also I was trying to make MU Online working under Wine
but without luck. First dialog appears for less than 0.1 sec
and then wine just quits silently. Well MU is very resource
consuming bastard and needs 3D, but I would like to know
why exactly it won't start. MU is @ www.muonline.com for
those who want to try (it is MMORPG beta)

I hate I have to use bro's Windoze to play it.

Cheers,

I assume you still want the jobs to be run by root though, otherwise
you could just use the 'ian' account's crontab file.
 
 Is this possible? Am i making sense :P ??

Sure.  'root' always used to be special cased so that emails from
there don't go through address rewriting.  But since sendmail-8.10
that's no longer the case.  Just use the normal genericstable
mechanisms to rewrite the sender address. Read through the bits of
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README that deal with genericstable first, but
essentially what you need is:

i) Make sure your /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc file contains:

FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl

   if not, add it to the .mc file and rebuild sendmail.cf and
   restart sendmail in the usual way:

# cd /etc/mail
# vi `hostname`.mc
# make all install restart-mta

   ii) Edit the /etc/mail/genericstable file to set up the e-mail
   address mappings you need.  That will be, minimally:

rootian

   and then process that into the .db hash format sendmail will
   read:

# make

  iii) That's all you need to do.  Send some e-mails as root to test.

Nb. this rewrites all e-mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED], not just the stuff
emitted by cron. If you want to do that, it's going to be much harder
to achieve.

 I'll try 1.3.1 for now then -- there's no reason I need 1.4 specifically.

  It's for the initial build.  Once the native binary is installed, you

 Eep.  Sounds messy.

Agreed; but I find the FreeBSD version works fine in a situation where the 
Linux version often bombs after starting many processes and then claiming

Fortunately I'm playing Enemy Territory now and it is available under 
FreeBSD :-).

Enemy territory runs with linux emulation on freebsd.  Its certainly 
not ported to freebsd.  I've tried it on 5 current and compared the 
results to running in linux and windows.  There is a definite 
performance gap in freebsd.  I assume its because there is no native 
binary.  The linux version under redhat 9 gives me a better framerate 
than any other os.  Its a shame we can't get native games for freebsd.  
Of course, i am happy with linux ports.

A fault of the open source community is not encouraging companies to 
use open source game frameworks.  It would make ports to non windows 
platforms easier.  I actually run three operating systems at home 
FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows XP.  The lack of porting effects me on 
my mac and pc.  Sadly, UNIX/Linux users and Mac users rarely work 
together on these issues even though they effect both groups.  Think 
about it, blizzard games are ported to Mac OS but not linux or unix.  
Enemy territory was ported to linux but not mac os.  I've even heard 
rumors that Doom 3 won't be ported to anything... just windows builds.

RE: the most light weight X web browser?

2004-05-13 Thread JJB
The question of an command line launched graphic web browser for
FBSD is asked many times on this list. I straight package install of

 This is REALLY COOL - one of the best tips I've received in a long
time, and I
 thank you for it. However, I've run into one little glitch. As
root, it works
 fine, but as a regular user, when I type:

   links -g -mode 640x480x16

 I get this error message:

svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.

 No doubt it's a permissions error, but I'm not sure which/where
permissions I
 should change. Any ideas?

The man page for svgalib says that programs which use it must be
setuid
root.  Sure enough:

chmod u+s /usr/local/bink/links

and it runs for other members of wheel besides root.  (Note the
security
implications, though.)

I modified the links Makefile so links can be built with X support,
svgalib support, or neither.  A copy has been sent to the port
maintainer.  With any luck, it'll be committed, so the build will be
easier.

Re: issue newsyslog cmd from perl scrip

It would be helpful to see exactly what the error is, but I would guess
it's that 'newsyslog' is not a perl function.  To run another executable
from within a perl script, you need to do something like:

system(newsyslog \-v $logfile\  $line);

there are, of course, other ways to do it as well.

who's your ISP? If your ISP is ubersoft then it is probably they who
would need to do this for you. If your the domain owner and you have
been assigned a range of IP's with your internet connectivity service
then likely you will have to do this yourself. Did you set up the DNS
for this domain? It may be that your provider simply hasn't delegated
the reverse zone to your name server for one reason or another. 

#nslookup 196.31.69.30
Server:  localhost.meibin.net
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost.meibin.net can't find 196.31.69.30: Non-existent host/domain


Sorry you will have to be a bit more specific with us about your setup.

Ah... so you're using sshd(8).  You didn't happen to mention that
rather relevant information before.  Can you try logging in on the
console to test your changes?  If login.conf settings work on the
console then sshd is the problem.  Otherwise, it's the login.conf
stuff itself which is at fault.

sshd(8) defaults to trying it's own key based authentication and then
backing off to the standard PAM system to do user authentication --
see the ChallengResponseAuthentication entry in sshd_config(5).  At
the moment the default value of the relevant bit in /etc/pam.conf (4.x
-- not sure what 5.x uses) is:

sshdaccount requiredpam_unix.so

and if you check the source code for the pam_sm_acct_mgmt() function
of pam_unix.so in /usr/src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix.c you
can see that the login.conf settings are checked when the session is
authenticated using Unix passwords.  OTOH if you're using ssh keys it
doesn't seem to check that way.

Cheers,

Re: Is it Possible to shrink a FBSD Partition?

2004-05-13 Thread Jerry McAllister
 
 Hello
 
 Is there any easy way to shrink a freebsd partition? When I created the 
 slice (I think it is called) I used the complete drive. 

In general, no.

 I need some space to create another partition and do not wish to reinstall 
 FBSD. This machine has been up and running for sometime and to do a 
 reinstall would be a big pain. 

You are pretty much limited to making a backup of each file system
separately and then redoing the drive partitioning and then restoring
the backups.

 I have tried partition majic then reading some info online it does not look 
 like it can handle the job.

Partition Magic only works on slices and not FreeBSD partitions.   If you mean
that you want to shrink a slice, then still you will need to make backups
and then redo the slices and then rebuild the FreBSD partitions and
then restore each file system in to the new partitions.

jerry

 
 I am running 4.8 Stable.
 
 Any info would be great.
 
 Thanks
 Chris

Re: mount_msdosfs anomaly

 Aloha
 
 I have a 80 gig hard drive that I have sliced up for multiple distros of linux and 
 freebsd. I have win98 on slice 1 and freebsd on slice 2. On slice 10 I have a 2.7 
 Gig slice formatted as fat32 for data sharing between all distros.
 
 When logged into frebsd (5.2.1) i can mount the win98 slice with mount_msdosfs 
 /dev/ad0s1 /win98 without any trouble.
 
 When I attempt to mount slice 10 with mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s10 /shared I get the 
 following error:
 
 mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s10: invalid argument.
 
 Slice 10 was formatted in win98 and scan disk was run. I have a text file and two 
 jpeg photos in the slice. 
 

Only 4 primary slices are recognized.   FreeBSD will not talk to a slice 10
and I don't think anything MS will either in a standard manner.  That is
why they came up with extended partitions.   What did you use to create the 
extra slices?

 Any help will be appreciated.

Well, I have never messed with MS extended partitions so I don't 
really know much details.   My /dev only goes up to s4 for either ad or da.
But, I am not surprised if mount_msdosfs thinks /dev/ad0s10 is not valid.
I suppose the person could try creating those devices in /dev and see
what falls down (or if it works).

Help interpreting Kernel (gdb) Debug output

2004-05-13 Thread M_SPAHZgORN
I'm having a kernel crash on a regular basis, but don't know how to interpret
the gdb output.  Any help would be much, much appreciated as I have a deadline
fast approaching to colocate this box.

   what version of FreeBSD?

Running: FreeBSD 4_9

   what error message comes to the screen when it panics?

I don't know because it usually happens between 3:03 AM and
4:40 AM EST.  I am sleeping at this time. ;-)

   does the panic occur regularly (when I run this it fails, fail once
in a while, etc)?

Yes, it seems to happen every day or every other day at the
times stated above.  I've reinstalled the OS at least 10 times,
doing the same process each time, so I think it has something
to do with my install process.  There are no CRON jobs scheduled
at the times it happens so I don't believe it's program related.

   any hardware issues flaky RAM/powersupply, non-terminate SCSI bus
 or heat problems that could be the problem?

Running high-quality Kingston ECC RAM (2 GB) with a 4 GB swap,
three seagate scsi-raid drives in raid-5 on an adaptec 2100s
controller, tyan dual-xeon mobo with two CPUs, everything is
top of the line.  Heat is not an issue, I have extremely good
airflow in the box (15 fans total).  The case is a 4u rackmount,
power supply is high quality 500w, and all scsi devices are
terminated properly.  I am co-locating this box as soon as I
can figure this problem out.

   do you have GDB compiled into the kernel? (nice to have the symbol
table)

I believe so, here is my Kernel config:

process management Q

2004-05-13 Thread Obaidi Hassib
Hello,

I'd like to post a question concerning process
management.  My issue is that, I had a background
process running that uses a GUI for debugging purposes
through-out last night.  Going back to the terminal, I
noticed that the pc would not startup.  Action keys
where not responding, and performed a hard reboot. 
When going back to my session, the bg processes where
still running, yet the GUI that performs the debug
actions closed after the hard reboot.  Since the bg

USB problems

2004-05-13 Thread Antoine Jacoutot
Hi :)

I'm running FreeBSD-5.2.1-p5 and I'm having a problem with USB.
Basically, I have 2 USB ports on my box:
- on one there's a USB2 harddrive (running in USB1.1 compat mode; I did not
compile ehci into the kernel because I was having kernel panic on boot)
- on the other, there's an USB hub connected (with 3 devices connected to the
hub)

After some time (usually around 12 to 24h), the devices on the USB hub are not
accessible anymore and I have to unplugg then replugg the hub power switch
again for the devices to work.
This does _not_ happen when I unplugg the USB harddrive (I unplugged it for like
a week and had no problem).
Note that _all_ my devices have a power switch.

So my questions would be:
- do you know where this problem could come from ?
- do you have any idea how I could maybe send some data to the USB port to keep
it alive ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,

RE: Cross building ports

2004-05-13 Thread JJB
After installing the port on your build box go ahead and run the
make package on the /usr/port/portname directory. The resulting
package will be in that directory. Copy it to your other i386 box
and pkg_add pgkname and it will work. I have even done it with newer
FBSD operation system version on build box and the created pkg ran
fine on production box with older FBSD version. But never did it
between major versions 5.x build box to 4.x production box. I would
say since the buildworld works for your amd64 world the packages
should be ok also. Give it an try to verify.  I normally only use
pkg_add -r from the FBSD site. Only do port install when I need
non-standard config of package.

Good luck

Subject: Cross building ports

Hi all,

Don't know if what I want to do is possible - but there's no harm in
asking,
eh?

I have a central build server running FreeBSD-5.2.1 amd64, which is
happily
building world/kernel for amd64 and i386.  In order to keep
everything all
on the same machine, I would like to be able to build packages from
ports
for both platforms.  Is this doable?

I have checked the mailing list archives, and nothing that seems
relevant
came back.  Can't seem to figure it out from the docs, man pages,
handbook
etc.  Any advice welcome, even if it's no more than get another
build
box!

Thanks for your time,

Dan

Your OpenSSL libs need to be updated.  Do it manually, by cvsup/make 
buildworld,
etc., or install OPENSSL from an updated ports tree, or define either of
the variables named in your environment (or possibly in /etc/make.conf?)
and run your command again; this would allow the port in question to rebuild
SSL for you as a prerequisite for building this port.

Example (tcsh/csh):

#setenv WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes
#make
I don't use sh or bash much, but I believe you'd define the
variable on one line (VAR=value) and then export it on
the next (export VAR).

Use vipw to do the delete. You deleted the text in the shadow text file 
and left /etc/master.passwd with the previous working version. You can 
force the update of master.passwd but I think you should get used to 
using vipw.

You said you did what rmuser does  manually.   I presume that
means that you did not use rmuser directly.   So, what did you
use to delete the entry from the /etc/passwd file?   As you have
guessed, there is a 'shadow' file (which is called master.passwd).
There is also a password database (pwd.db).
If you edit /etc/passwd directly, then neither master.passwd nor pwd.db
will be correctly updated.   So, you need to use a utility called 'vipw'.
It is just like using vi.   type vipw, do your editing - remove the 
line from the file - and write/quit to get out.  When you leave vipw
with a write, it will automatically update master.passwd and pwd.db
for you.

Bootable USB Jumpdrive

2004-05-13 Thread Foster, ThomasX
Quick question for anyone that might have any input on the subject..

 

I am attempting to make my Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 Pro 256 Mb USB drive
bootable..

 

I attempted just a minimal installation on it from a CD boot, and then
installed to /dev/da0 .. set a bootable slice, and swap partition,
performed the installation successfully, and reboot.  No such luck.. the
system will not boot from the drive.

 

I have no trouble with other O.S.'s booting from the jumpdrive, and of
course the system BIOS is set to boot from this device.  I was just
curious if anyone has any feedback on this scenario.

 

Thanks

Re: mount_msdosfs anomaly

2004-05-13 Thread Jerry McAllister
 
 Aloha
 I first used a win98 boot disk to set slice 1(partition 1) a 5 Gig for 
 my win98 slice. After installing win98, I used the freebsd 5.2.1 CD to 
 set up the freebsd slice 2 at 20 Gig. 

OK.  I haven't had time (or a spare machine) to play with 5.xxx yet.  

 After installing freebsd I used Slackware 9.1 CD and the cfdisk program 
 on it to partition the rest of the disk. Slice/partition3 is a primary. 
 Slice 4 is extended with logical slices/partitions 5 through 10. I 
 installed Slackware on slice 8 with a linux swap on slice 9 and a 2.7Gig 
 fat32 on slice 10.

Well, that (using Slackware and being logical partitions within
an extended ) explains some things about how you got those slices. 

I believe FreeBSD is quite limited in its ability to talk to 
MS extended partitions.

 
 Here is the output of ls -l /dev/ad*

First time I have seen slice numbers that high.  But, since they
are special, I am not sure it mean anything.  Hopefully someone
else will know more about that.

When logged into frebsd (5.2.1) i can mount the win98 slice with

When I attempt to mount slice 10 with mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s10

Slice 10 was formatted in win98 and scan disk was run. I have a

Only 4 primary slices are recognized.   FreeBSD will not talk

slice 10 and I don't think anything MS will either in a standard

  Well, I have never messed with MS extended partitions so I don't

  But, I am not surprised if mount_msdosfs thinks /dev/ad0s10 is not

No mouse in X, Dell Inspiron 5150

2004-05-13 Thread Bill Schoolcraft
Hello Family,

I have a new triple booted Dell Inspiron 5150 and the mouse
works with WindowsXP, Linux, and I can't get it to even be
detected with FreeBSD-5.2.1 installed from CD.

On my Mandrake-10.0 Linux /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 it has the
mouse stanza of:

###

Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse1
Driver mouse
Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Option Device /dev/mouse
Option ZAxisMapping 6 7
EndSection

###

On the FreeBSD-5.2.1 machine I have a VERY nice KDE display with
the new Nvidia package and my current XF86Config section for
the mouse looks like this:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Mouse1
Driver  mouse
Option ProtocolPS/2
Option Device  /dev/sysmouse
###

I've tried to add the ExplorerPS/2 to the FreeBSD version
and the Xserver complains about not honoring the
ExplorerPS/2 tag. And I also tried the line
Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 and got nothing.

Once again the mouse was not detected during a
/stand/sysinstall configuration attempt either.

Needless to say, any help here would be appreciated.
This is the latest version of FreeBSD, 5.2.1 and I purchased
it to do a fresh install.

Re: The journalling file system saga

2004-05-13 Thread Peter Schuller
Hello,

 I had to build a storage system this week with a capacity of 1.6TB.
 Regrettfully I decided to use Linux with XFS as the thought of waiting
 for fsck to complete in the event of a problem makes me wince. I
 experimented with FreeBSD, using two 800GB partitions and things like
 that, but in the end it comes back to the fsck if for any reason the
 machine goes down uncleanly.

I share your reaction to the thought of fsck-after-crash, though I have come 
to appreciate softupdates lately after an obscene amount of googling.

IMO the primary advantage to soft updates compared to journaling is that it 
allows good performance without write caching, since write operations can be 
deferred. The good part about this is that one can achieve good performance 
with write caching disabled on the drive/RAID, while journaling will be 
either slower with write caching turned off, or unsafe with it turned on.

The question is whether that applies to data aswell as meta-data. I have not 
yet found any information as to whether soft updates guarantees the order of 
non-meta data (or: Is it safe to run PostgreSQL with soft updates?). If 
anyone reading this has a clue, I'd love to hear it.

Unfortunately there are problems with soft updates, for me as a user. One 
problem is degraded performance with bgfsck, that you have already mentioned. 

Another problem is that bgfsck seems to be unsupported on the root filesystem 
(something which I am trying to fix, but it's going slowly due to lack of 
knowledge of FreeBSD aswell as lack of time).

Yet another problem is that an fsync() no longer guarantees that data is on 
disk, even with write caching disabled on the media. This doesn't break 
things like PostgreSQL provided that the order of writes is preserved, but it 
does break things like MTA:s that want to guarantee that critical data has 
been commited to persistent storage before signaling success to an external 
entity (SMTP client).

A very big issue is that soft updates addresses multiple problems - but it's 
an all-or-nothing choice. I can get good performance running safely (in 
some circumstances) by using soft updates, but if I need safety for an MTA I 
need to turn it off. But turning soft updates off does not only have the 
effect of decreasing performance, it *ALSO* creates the need for a full fsck 
after an unclean shutdown. But what if I need safety *AND* do not wish to 
have a 30 minute boot-up time? (Or in your case with 1.6 TB, I would imagine 
that's a LOT more than just 30 minutes...)

A good solution might be to support *both* some kind of journaling/logging and 
soft updates. But to me that is still just a work-around for a broken 
foundation.

I believe the fundamental problem lies in the ambiguity of fsync(). The same 
syscall is used to achieve different effects. A database like PostgreSQL with 
write-ahead logging (WAL) is concerned with making sure certain data is 
written before additional modifications are made (though see below). So it 
uses fsynch() to make sure everything is written before proceeding - thus 
causing a degredation in performance.

But then comes qmail which needs to guarantee the data in question is *on 
disk*, and also uses fsynch(). This time the intended effect is specifically 
the goal of synch(). In the former case the intended effect was an implicit 
side-effect.

PostgreSQL can be honored in terms of avoiding corruption (but not in terms of 
guaranteeing a transaction is commited to persistent storage when it returns) 
by softupdates provided that both meta-data and all other data is guaranteed 
to be written in the correct order (though again I don't know if this is the 
case). But qmail is not served by this. A filesystem that fulfills the 
requirements of qmail would also fulfill the requirements of PostgreSQL - but 
it would also unnecessarily decrease performance.

 Is anyone remotely interested in this?

Yes, for the reasons mentioned below, and strictly for practical personal use 
because I'd love to be able to share data between FreeBSD and Linux ;)

BUG REPORT ... FreeBSD 5.2.1 NO SHUTDOWN ...

Hello,

Where would I submit this Bug Report to? ...

FreeBSD 5.2.1 ... NO SHUTDWON on DELL DIMENSION 4600 PC ...

Hello,

FreeBSD 5.2.1 does not have the ability to shut down my computer even
if I do a shutdown -p now ... I just get an ACPI timed-out message and 
power level drops to 'halted', only. The only way to turn off power is to 
pull out the AC plug. XP Pro, Red Hat EWS 3.0 and Mandrake 9.2 can all turn 
off the computer.

If that really is a problem you shoud use send-pr(1) to insert the bug! 
(or check the freebsd website).
Btw; you can also push the powerbutton for 4 seconds and the machine 
goes off as well (atx). perhaps your hardware is not supported yet.
What hardware do you have, what version of 5.2.1? etc!

 Use vipw to do the delete. You deleted the text in the shadow text file 
 and left /etc/master.passwd with the previous working version. You can 
 force the update of master.passwd but I think you should get used to 
 using vipw.

/etc/passwd is a world readable version on /etc/master.passwd so that no one
can see your password hash.  editing /etc/passwd is pointless, and editing
/etc/master.passwd to delete a user is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Use pw userdel -rn username to delete the user from /etc/master.passwd, rebuild
the pwd.db, remove him/her from all the groups and kill their homedir.

Editing master.passwd is a *VERY* bad idea unless you use vipw, which rebuilds
pwd.db so in short, DON'T.  Read the man pages for pw, as it is very useful for
manipulating users and groups.

Hope this helps.

 been commited to persistent storage before signaling success to an external 
 entity (SMTP client).

fsync(2) works as advertised with softupdates enabled so that shouldn't cause
any problems for applications that are written properly.

Configuring For Internet Access Using Router

2004-05-13 Thread Gerard Seibert
I tried sending the following message yesterday, but I believe it got
lost somehow. In any event, it never was relayed by freebsd-questions.
So here I go again.

I am having a problem getting my system properly configured. I have three 
computers - 2 are WinXP Pro and one Free BSD. They are connected via a hub 
and then to a Net Gear RT311 Gateway Router. This is then connected to a 
cable modem. If I run my system with it configured as the files listed below 
show, then it seems to works alright. However, that is not the way the router 
manual says to do it.

The manual wants th OS to obtain an IP automatically.
The IP address of the PC is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.31
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
The default gateway is 192.168.0.1

If I disable the lines in the dhclient.conf file and reboot, my system will no 
longer make an Internet connection. Running nslookup will fail as well.

Neither of my two WinXP boxes exhibits this phenomena. Perhaps someone can 
assist me with this . Also, when I access my router, it does not show a host 
name, although it does for the other two computers, It lists the IP as 
192.168.0.4 as well as it's MAC address.  Why is it not displaying a host 
name? It should, shouldn't it.


Thanks

Re: USB problems

2004-05-13 Thread andre post
 After some time (usually around 12 to 24h), the
devices  on the USB hub are not accessible anymore
and I have to  unplugg then replugg the hub power
switch again for the  devices to work.
 This does _not_ happen when I unplugg the USB
harddrive  (I unplugged it for like
 a week and had no problem).

How does your Wired memory behave during the time of
intensive USB traffic?

If my bet is right, you're suffering from the usb
driver memory leak as outlined in these PRs:
originally in the 4.x branch:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31659
and still not solved in the 5.x branch:

Well, when scanning for exemple, it starts at 112M Wired up to 114M Wired...
so I guess this is ok.

 If my bet is right, you're suffering from the usb
 driver memory leak as outlined in these PRs:

I hope this is the case since it looks like it will be resolved soon.

perl pause or wait

2004-05-13 Thread JJB
I have perl script that issues the newsyslog command followed by 3
perl scripts that process the new .0 rotated file.

Problem is the newsyslog rotate has not completed creating the new
.0 and rolling through the other .x files before the first perl
script in trying to open the .0 file for processing.

Is there in perl pause or wait command I can use to  allow some time
to elapse before continuing with the launch of the next script?

Thanks

Re: 5.2.1R panic on Sun Blade 100

2004-05-13 Thread Richard Cotrina

The panic message :


IOMMU fault virtual address 0xc300
panic: pcib: uncorrectable DMA error AFAR 0xad6000 AFSR 0x21ff
syncing disk, buffers remaining ...
===

The nmap was a simple stealth scan with os fingerprinting :

nmap -sS -O sun_blade_100_target

The same error ocurred using ping with a big icmp packet (10,000 bytes).
In this case the panic message was :


IOMMU fault virtual address 0xc300

Yes, use the sleep() function.

 [Problems with softupdates]

  Yet another problem is that an fsync() no longer guarantees that data is
  on disk, even with write caching disabled on the media. This doesn't
  break things like PostgreSQL provided that the order of writes is
  preserved, but it does break things like MTA:s that want to guarantee
  that critical data has been commited to persistent storage before
  signaling success to an external entity (SMTP client).

 fsync(2) works as advertised with softupdates enabled so that shouldn't
 cause any problems for applications that are written properly.

Ah thanks! I was under the distinct impression that was not the case. This is 
indeed good news. I can now rest easy running PostgreSQL without disabling 
soft updates.

Perhaps a document would be in order describing/detailing all the details such 
as this about soft updates, all in one place. What I know I have mostly 
gathered by reading papers and random mailinglist postings about certain 
specifics. Is there such a thing in existence? If not I may try to put one 
together, for other people like me.

OK, but it looks like -O overrides -O2 here, right?
And if that's true, how can I make the port build use the ports default 
instead of the system default?
