There should be no ports left which reference the removed versions of autoconf 
and automake, perhaps you cvsup'd in the middle of the commit.

Handling automake and autoconf versions

[Al.Aeefyu]

Hi there!

How do I safely handle automake/autoconf versions built from ports??
Recently, some of my port builds (x11/kde3 specifically) failed
because automake and autoconf has been MOVED. Do I absolutely have to
wait for the maintainers to update the ports' Makefiles?

There are references to USE_AUTOCONF_VER=* and USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=*, but
unless I am mistaken, these are mainly useful for port maintainers
only.

Can I override them safely, say .. modifying the Makefiles myself?

A "pkg_info -R autoconf\*" lists many versions of autoconf in my
system. Can I simply delete the unused ones? Same goes for "pkg_info
-R automake\*"

--- output follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ports] # pkg_info -R autoconf\*

Only reference to mysql from the output of phptest.info i.e.



is :- sql.safe_mode Off Off

So I _guess_ mysql support wasnt compiled into php at build time ?

I wrongly assumed that by doing a make install in the postnuke
directory would pass those params ?

OK so now I read the makefile options for php and rebuild ?

Thanks for help !

Hmm, in the Unix boxes I've seen, there is a file called /etc/nsswitch.conf
that will have a line called "hosts:" it will dictate the order by which names
are resolved.  If you have the following your system will look at the
/etc/hosts file first, then NISplus, then DNS. If you were to have "dns"
first, it would ignore your /etc/hosts file (first) and hit your dns looking
for answers.

/etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts:  files nisplus dns

Weird memory detection problem on Compaq M700

[Christopher Smith]

Apologies for the cross-post - this is mainly a hardware problem, but I've
thrown it into -questions as well in case someone has already seen and fixed
this issue.

I have a Compaq Armada M700 that I used for a firewall.  I've recently
upgraded the memory in it to 320MB (64MB onboard + 256MB).  The machine
detects the memory fine.  The FreeBSD bootloader detects the memory fine.
However, when the kernel boots it only detects 64MB.

What's weird, is that if I stick in a 128MB memory module then the kernel
detects the full amount (192MB) fine.

I realise I can use "options MAXMEM" to manually specify the amount of RAM
in the machine, but it just struck me as rather strange that it detects
192MB fine but not 320MB (particularly since the bootloader sees it all).

This is with FreeBSD 5.2.1.  I've not tried it with 4.x.

Has anyone else encountered this problem (and maybe fixed it) ?

You don't *need* ANY swap.  Until you fill up your RAM, at which point
it's nice to have some swap space instead of having the kernel start
killing processes.  

In order to do a crash dump, you need an overwritable partition that's
at least slightly larger than your RAM.  The swap partition is often
given this job as well as serving as swap space.

If you have some idea of your worst-case virtual memory usage,
allocate that much swap (less about the amount of RAM you have).  If
you don't know, either set aside a huge amount of space or experiment
and see how much you need (and then allocate half again as much to be
safe).

Re: kde 3.2.3

[Joshua Moore]

   First off, remove all arts, qt, quanta, kde, and kdevelop packages.
   Set your package site envirmomental variable to a site that has the
   3.2.3 packages.  Then run pkg_add -r kde.  It should download and
   install and save you a ton of time trying to compile everything from
   source.

Vinum lets you resize volumes by concatenating plexes, and then you can
run growfs to expand the filesystem into the new space.

Re: Swap size

[Joshua Moore]

I think for most cases if you have more then 512 MB of ram you can just 
have the swap size the same size as the amount of ram you have installed.

Connecting a USB Zip drive -- whatever am I doing wrong?

[epilogue]

hello all,

for many moons now, i'll occasionally dedicate a dark day to getting my USB
Zip drive to work.  i've been through the handbook, faq, relevant man
pages, mailing lists and across the colossal googlesphere collecting bits
and pieces, none of which seem to get me the desired result.  i'm obviously
missing something.

i'm writing with the hope that, what i have managed to overlook will be so
obvious and straighforward, some kind reader will take 2 seconds to
point it out, so that i may zip off on my merry way.

### uname -a
FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p1 i386

### relevant lines from kernel
device  vpo
device  scbus
device  da
device  uhci# uhci related entries show up in dmesg
device  usb
device  ugen

i have also tried with the ohci device added, but it never generates any
dmesg entries.  from what i gather, uhci and ohci have an 'either - or'
kind of relationship.  i'm supposing that uhci is the right device for my
system.

now, when i boot with the zip device plugged in (whether or not there is a
disk loaded), the system will hang until i unplug the usb cable.

### mounting
i'm not sure that i 'get' which device the zip maps to nor how to determine
this.  i have tried about 40 different combinations of mount (mostly
gleaned from my research), but i have yet to hit upon the right command. 

# mount -t msdos /dev/da* /mnt  # * = practically every single one
msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured

of the many combinations tried, /dev/usb0 has provided the most promising
error message (i think).

# mount -t msdos /dev/usb0 /mnt
msdos: /dev/usb0: Block device required

### final notes
1) the Zip drive works on several other non-*nix systems
2) i *have* tried with more than just one disk.

i'm guessing that the problem is that i'm just not mounting correctly, but
hey, that's just a guess.   :)

my apologies for the lengthy message.  hopefully, it provided some
useful troubleshooting info.  please let me know if there are any further
details i can provide.

tcpdump (/dev/bpf* permission) in FreeBSD-current

[Patrick Dung]

Hi
 
For FreeBSD-stable, I can change the permission of the
/dev/bpf*.
But for FreeBSD-current, the bpf device is created at
runtime.
There is no way to decided the user/group and
permission of the device created. (/etc/devfs.conf can
be used, but it had to be start after the device is
created, where it is not created at boot time).

Perhaps not, but I think it's related to DHCP.  Do you have a
lease in /var/db/dhclient.leases? If not - have you perhaps
enabled firewall functionality which could block 255.255.255.255?

Could you make your line length ~76.  The google archive seems
to quote long lines verbatim, causing horizontal scrolling :(

You could use parameters from a SuSe or XP lease to manually config
the BSD installation.  And then you could test connectivity to the
ISP DHCP server.  I'm not sure how to test the (main) broadcast
address though and that's the one which is used (magically ;))
when an interface has no clue (previous lease) to consult.

to get into the Perc/LSI problems that others have had to deal with.

Re: X.Org port broken?

[Luke]

I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE on a computer and after failing
to get XFree86 4.3.1,1 going on my DVI LCD monitor and nVidia FX5200
card, I wanted to try my luck with X.Org's server, but the port simply
refuses to install.I tried to install it a couple of weeks ago and it
gave me tons of errors even then, this time, it gave me the following
error:

ndation"' -DXVENDORNAMESHORT='"X.Org"' -c xhost.c

I did the same thing for the same reason last week and got the same error. 
The problem was caused by stale files on my system.

Explicitly installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries before installing
/usr/ports/x11/xorg did the trick.
This error was just the first in a series of problems caused by stale 
files, but I fought my way through the installation process and now have 
xorg running with the latest nvidia drivers so now my video card works and 
I'm happy.  :)

SoundBlaster Live problems

[Louis LeBlanc]

I'm having another hangup with 5.2.1.  This one is considerably less
critical though.

I have a SoundBlaster Live! (with 5.1 support, whatever this means).

Judging from the handbook, all I'm supposed to do is put the following
in the kernel config:
device pcm
device sbc

and put this in /boot/loader.conf:
snd_emu10k1_load="YES"

And everything should work.

Not really.

I'm not seeing any indication of an unrecognized card or any pcm or
sbc devices in the dmesg output (/var/run/dmesg.boot).

Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

5.2.1 crashes during make buildworld

[Louis LeBlanc]

Hey folks.  I've been having some real problems with make buildworld
on 5.2.1.  I was trying to build RELENG_5_2_1 from the initial 5.2.1
install, done from the distribution ISOs.

Namely, the whole system was siezing.  Well, mostly.  It's really
wierd, because I could switch desks, desktops, play with windows,
everything redraws, but I couldn't get any response from the xterms,
bring up any new terms, or get Netscape to actually follow a link or
bookmark.  It was like the lights are on but nobodys home.

This happened 3 times, right in the big fat middle of buildworld.  All
three times I lost info in the root filesystem - files that had been
modified between 5 and 20 minutes before the actual hang.

I found only one reference to this kind of behavior in the archives,
but it suggested potential hardware problems.  Since this machine
rolled off the line less than two weeks ago, I wasn't willing to
accept that yet, so I looked at the soft updates feature.  There was
nothing in anything I found to indicate this could be the cause of the
hang, but it was pretty obvious (at first glance, not afterward) that
turning it off should at least prevent losing anymore data.

Now, I'm writing this solely in the interest of being helpful to the
next poor sap that runs into the problem, so if anyone thinks this is
a "Bad Thing", please respond with your reasoning so (1) I'll
understand what really happened, and (2) the next guy won't run into
the gaping maw of "Bad Things" I could be headed for.

After 3 tries failed in horrible agony, I simply turned off soft
updates and turned on noauto on all filesystems.  Now, I know very
well that noauto is a good thing, since I have no desire to find out
the last time I ran xpat2 to play freecell by looking at the last
access time of the executable, not to mention a hundred other reasons,
most of them better that that.  I also know very well that softupdates
is not on by default in the root filesystem, so how could it be the
cause of the lost data?  I dunno.

I also know this:  When I made those two changes and only those two,
make buildworld zipped through without a hitch, as did the rest of the
whole upgrade process.  I don't know why, but maybe someone else does?

As for softupdates, I don't really think I need the performance bad
enough to juggle the settings every time I upgrade, so I'm inclined to
keep it off.  In fact, I've left the option out of the custom kernel
altogether.

Any ideas on the "why" here would be welcome.

Lou

pattern replacement

[Vulpes Velox]

If I wanted to replace every instance of a pattern in a file with
something, what would I use?

Sorta like doing a include in a html file and then something goes
threw and replaces that include with the file that include pointed it
at?

Sorta want something to make web admining easier and I am pretty sure
this all ready exists in some form...

Any ways, much thanks for any help offered.

Auth.log and Cyrus SASL

Auth.log

[Scott Gerhardt]

I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 and I noticed that /var/log/auth.log does not 
include year () in the log entries.  My daily cron jobs recently 
sent notice that there were some failed login attempts on July 3 to an 
account that was removed many months ago.  This raised concern, so I 
did a thorough check and determined that the failed login attempt 
occurred July 03 of 2003, _not_ 2004.

Shouldn't auth.log include the full -MM-DD date to avoid confusion 
in case auth.log doesn't rotate between years?  This should apply to 
all logs, especially security related logs...

Subject: Postnuke install probs - any advice appreciated.

Hello All,

I have 5.2.1 freshly installed and updated / built.

I have installed Postnuke (Rogue) using the ports system.
I have a running Apache which displays a PHP test page fine.
I have a running MySQL server in which I have created a root 
password for both localhost and the host/domain.

I have created a database called rogue and a user called rogue 
and a password for rogue.

I have imported the Rogue.sql schema e.g. 
3bsd# mysql -u rogue -p rogue < /usr/local/www/data-dist/postnuke
/sql/rogue.sql

When I come to run webconfig install.php I only get so far and then 
get a blank page. I enter language, the database name and user and 
password. I click proceed and what comes up next is a mostly blank 
page with red text the words "No database made"

If I tick the option to create the database I get a completely blank page.
I have also noticed that if I leave all these fields balnk I get exactly the

same results.

Here is a sample from my httpd-error log :-

[error] PHP Warning: main(pnadodb/adodb.inc.php): failed to open stream:

it doesn't matter. however, it might not be the best idea to edit/use 
one of the sample supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ directly, 
since these files get overridden every time you install world. 
just copy one of them to a 'safe' location, apply your changes and (if 
you want to use 'make update' in /usr/src) adjust /etc/make.conf

have fun

Kernel build problem 5.2.1

[Gene Bomgardner]

Hi All:
  I'm trying to build a 5.2.1 kernel. I've used both the original method as 
well as the newer "make buildkernel...". I keep getting the error during the 
"make depend" phase:

src/i386/usr/include  /usr/src/sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo_saver.c 
/usr/src/sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo.c

The error is:
/usr/src/sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo_saver.c:47:18: logo.c: No such file 
or directory
mkdep: compile failed
*** Error code 1

However, the files exist. I can open them up and look at them.:
# pwd
/usr/src
# ls sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo_saver.c
sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo_saver.c
# ls sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo.c
sys/modules/syscons/logo/logo.c
Anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
thanx...

pppctl(8) includes some examples of how to achieve this.  You will also
need to configure rc.conf(5) to run the ppp daemon at start up.

The solution is straightforward, I answered a similar question with more
details on the newsgroup comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.

Building tun0 into the kernel will have no effect.  I prefer to use the
module that is automatically loaded.

I believe you are correct, certainly pcre & possibly regexp do not
require postmap to be run.  Postfix has the tools to help you work this

Floppy drive with other memory device slots

[Tom Parquette]

I was wandering through Comp-USA this morning and I noticed a floppy 
drive on the shelf that had sockets for other memory devices.  e.g. 
secure digital cards.  I found it on their web site at: 
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=311195&pfp=BROWSE

It appears to be made by a company called FMI.  I could not seem to find 
an operatble link to the vendor or guess correctly at a URL.  Google 
seems to bring me back to Comp-USA's web site.  I found some hardware 
requirements that make me think this plugs into the FDD cable and there 
may be a jumper that goes to a set of USB pins on the motherboard.

The FBSD 5.2.1 hardware notes page didn't seem to say anything about a 
device like this.  However, if my reading betwen the lines of the 
hardware requirements is accurate, it sounds like it could just drop 
right in and work with generic drivers.

I'm thinking about building a multiheaded X desktop in a small case to 
save desktop space.  This drive, since I would have to pick up a floppy 
drive anyway, appears to be a versitile option for a SFF machine.

Anybody have any information/experience with something like this?

The latter.  For example, many workstations aren't configured to run

Re: CVSUP Mirror

[Tom Parquette]

Lonnie Santella wrote:
This all checks out correctly. I'm basically using almost entirely 
defaults here. My supfile on my mirror server looks identical to yours.

This is driving me crazy.
The one thing I wonder is, how does my cvsup mirror server know how to 
"share" it's full ports tree?  None of the config files I see mention 
anything about "ports". During the initial "make" of the cvsup-mirror, I 
chose NOT to mirror the src, www, gnats - and nothing was mentioned 
about "ports". I'm confused.

Why is it, if this was built from ports, and I ran the full "make" and 
"make install" with no errors, that this thing won't work? I thought 
that was why we install from ports...

Did you have to configure something else specifically to allow your 
ports collection to be shared via the cvsupd daemon?


OK,
I'm trying to recreate what you have as I'm typing this reply.
This is the results of make in /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror:
Stargate# make
===>  Configuring for cvsup-mirror-1.3_2
I am going to ask you a few questions so that I can set up your
FreeBSD mirror configuration.  Every question has a [default]
answer.  To accept the default, just press ENTER.
At this point, I am just gathering information.  I will not touch
your system until you type "make install".
Master site for your updates [cvsup-master.freebsd.org]? 192.168.0.20
How many hours between updates of your files [1]?
Now you must decide which sets of files you wish to make available
from your mirror site.  You can choose any combination, and you
can put each set anywhere you want to on your disks.  Although each
set is optional, we strongly encourage every mirror site to carry
at least the main source repository.
Do you wish to mirror the main source repository [y]? n
Do you wish to mirror the installed World Wide Web data [y]? n
Do you wish to mirror the GNATS bug tracking database [y]? n
Do you wish to mirror the mailing list archive [y]? n
Now, a few questions so that I can set up your CVSup server properly.
For security reasons, both the CVSup client and server should run
under their own unique user and group IDs.  These IDs should have no
special access privileges.  Normally, the user:group "cvsupin:cvsupin"
is used for the client and "cvsup:cvsup" is used for the server, but
you can choose other names if you wish.  At "make install" time, I
will create the users and groups, if they don't already exist.
Use unique user and group IDs for these.  Do not use "nobody",
"nonroot", or "nogroup".
Unique unprivileged user ID for running the client [cvsupin]?
Unique unprivileged group ID for running the client [cvsupin]?
Unique unprivileged user ID for running the server [cvsup]?
Unique unprivileged group ID for running the server [cvsup]?
The CVSup server does its logging via syslog.  At "make install"
time, I will set up the logging for you, if necessary.  I will use
the "!program" feature of syslog to keep your CVSup log messages
separate from the messages of your other daemons.
Syslog facility for the server log [daemon]?
You can control the load on your machine by limiting the number of
clients that the CVSup server will serve at once.  CVSup won't load
your network especially heavily, but it is more CPU and disk
intensive than most other file server software.

LVM ? (not vinum!)

[Stephan van Beerschoten]

Is there an implementation of an LVM in FreeBSD ?
Vinum is not sufficient. I am looking for a true LVM where creating and 
resizing volumes is a must. Something like Solaris Disksuite with 
softpartitioning is something I could live with already, but it just 
does not seem to exist.

Am I correct? I'd hate to have to consider Linux as the OS for this new 
platform because of the one flaw in FreeBSD I can't live with :(

Thanks,
Stephan

Postnuke install probs - any advice appreciated.

[Graham Bentley]

Hello All,

I have 5.2.1 freshly installed and updated / built.

I have installed Postnuke (Rogue) using the ports system.
I have a running Apache which displays a PHP test page fine.
I have a running MySQL server in which I have created a root 
password for both localhost and the host/domain.

I have created a database called rogue and a user called rogue 
and a password for rogue.

I have imported the Rogue.sql schema e.g. 
3bsd# mysql -u rogue -p rogue < /usr/local/www/data-dist/postnuke
/sql/rogue.sql

When I come to run webconfig install.php I only get so far and then 
get a blank page. I enter language, the database name and user and 
password. I click proceed and what comes up next is a mostly blank 
page with red text the words "No database made"

If I tick the option to create the database I get a completely blank page.
I have also noticed that if I leave all these fields balnk I get exactly the 
same results.

Here is a sample from my httpd-error log :-

[error] PHP Warning: main(pnadodb/adodb.inc.php): failed to open stream:

Any help really appreciated.

Re: Cant bring up network interface

[Nikhil Kale]

Hello,
  I dont think the problem is related to releasing the DHCP lease because I have 
Windows XP, SuSE linux and now FreeBSD installed on the computer. I havent had any 
problem with Windows/Linux.
  Here's what I get in dmesg for my network interface:
---

sis0:  port 0x8c00-0x8cff mem 0xd0008000-0xd0008fff 
irq 11 at device 18.0 on pci0

sis0: Silicon Revision: DP83816A

sis0: Ethernet address: 00:0d:9d:43:e5:b7

miibus0:  on sis0

sis0: watchdog timeout

---

  As soon as this is logged while booting the Ethernet LED on my broadband modem goes 
OFF. I tried loading module if_sis0.ko and apm.ko, and the Ethernet LED lights up, but 
when I loaded these modules at startup (/boot/loader.conf) the LED still goes off.
 
When I run dhclient -v I get the following output:
---

I may be completely wrong, but I think some wrong module is getting loaded, which is 
causing this problem. Can you point out how I can debug more, and get this solved???

 

Thanks in advance,

--Nikhil.

man 8 dhclient says: 
The client normally doesn't release the current lease as it is not 
required by the DHCP protocol. Some cable ISPs require their clients 
to notify the server if they wish to release an assigned IP address. 
The -r flag explicitly releases the current lease, and once the lease 
has been released, the client exits. 

So you may need to do whatever is your Linux version of dhclient -r 

The DHCP server has already assigned a lease to Linux which FreeBSD 
knows nothing about.

I don't have a solution to your problem with natd, however net/rinetd

I don't actually understand the question, but I'll take a try at
answering anyway.

The postmap command is what creates the databases from the source
files that you create for the maps.  Regular expressions are normally
used in the source files as a syntax for the entries.

I suggest asking postfix questions on the postfix lists...

Do the serial settings change at all on the port?

Not that I am aware of...9600N81 ...thats all I ever use. Its something

IBM machine (just for a test) it boots right up.

slow serial console 5.2.1

[J.D. Bronson]

This is really odd. I setup a 5.2.1 machine and used the serial port for 
console. I see it booting up just fine until it gets to the part where it 
checks the hard drive for fragmentationthen it SLOWS to a crawl

it get's past the hard drive and then each part of the boot is word by word 
as if someone is typing it

Once the machine is up, the network side of it FLIES and all is well...but 
the serial console cannot be used at all...nothing happens. Like it's 
jammed or stuck for example.

This is on a compaq deskpro EN SFF with dual COM ports and I built a kernel 
that detects as much as I can on this machine.

I have other FreeBSD machines that do not exhibit this and was wondering if 
anyone else came across this before and what they did?

Thanks.

Cheers for that.., You might have seen my reply to a previous responder who suggested 
the same as you. I just had a subsequent question on confirming that I should indeed 
be using the "standard-supfile" as I planned. Could I ask you to verify that this 
supfile is the one to use (as against stable-supfile, that is) in this case, please?

Thanks again.

You're right with IPFW, but you missed Dan Pelleg's note that this seems
not to work with IPFW2; for some reason IPFW2 ignores the verbose_limit
setting in the kernel and defaults to "net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=0"
when logamount is not there; so unlimited logging.
Adding logamount explicitly with each log rule, will work around this
bug for the moment.
NOTE: it only seems to affect IPFW2.

Thanks for that link.., I missed that.

So should I change the *standard-supfile* to read:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2

Or, should I make the amendments to *stable-supfile*? Or does it not matter in this 
case?

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Hmm, Perhaps a complete layout and network explanations is in order here

- I have a total of 5 servers, all running freebsd.

- The switch IS configured to allow WAN access to WAN ports only, and LAN
access to LAN ports only.
- WAN is using serveral hundered IPS on serveral subnets. LAN is using a
single ssubnet of 254 (using the 192.168 scema).

three use those nameservers excelusively.
- The hosts files include two names for each server, the fully qualified
domain i.e. "machine1.mydomain.com" and the LAN name which is just the local
machine name i.e. "machine1"
- The exports files use the local machine name only i.e.

I believe the tag you're looking for is RELENG_5_2, but you might want
to check here first:

The first thing to do is check /var/log/XFree86.log to see what the
problem really is.  It isn't always crystal clear, but it's usually
very useful.

I have the same card, 128MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX5200.  I just got
XFree86 up and working on a Dell E172FP monitor.  Not sure how similar
the monitor is, but my experience was that the screen section was at
least as important.  Just in case it helps, here's my Card0, Monitor0,
and Screen0 sections from XF86Config:

#**
# Monitor section
#**
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize  330   240 # mm
Identifier   "Monitor0"
HorizSync31.5 - 79.0
VertRefresh  50.0 - 70.0
ModelName"DELL E172FP"
VendorName   "DELL"
# Option "DPMS"
EndSection

#**
# Graphics device section
#**
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver  "nv"
# ChipSet "GeForce DDR"
Card"nv GeForce DDR"
VideoRam131072
VendorName  "NVIDIA"
BoardName   "GeForce2 Go"
EndSection

#**
# Screen section
#**
Section "Screen"
Identifier   "Screen0"
Device   "Card0"
Monitor  "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth24
Modes"1280x1024" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection


This is working great so far.  I still want to get the monitor sync
rates tweaked out a bit, but the rates in that canned config were
within the specified tolerances for the monitor, so they went in to
start.

Get online and check the sync rates on your monitor.  Then just make
sure you choose a canned config that falls under those maximums.  That
will do to start, then you can (carefully) start to tweak your config
out.

RE: IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT ignored by recent kernel/world?

[JJB]

Adding an "logamount" option to each logging rules would be to "long
way work around".
Adding net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=100 to /etc/sysctl.conf would be
the short way.

So what I observed (security logfile get floaded with ipfw2 logs) is
actually
a kind of bug. If so, I'd rather wait till the fix makes it into the
official
sources. If not, then I won't change my own sources.

Work around for now could be to add a "logamount" statement to each
of the
logging rules of ipfw2. Right?

Thanks!

IPFW2 ?

Updating newly installed FreeBSD-5.2.1

[Stacey Roberts]

Hello,
 Forgive the simple question here, please.

I've just installed FreeBSD-5.2.1 from BSDMall's CD-Set, and I wanted to do what I'd 
usually do with a new installation of FreeBSD-4.x, which is to update it to the latest 
"stable" of that version. Now I know that there is no "Stable" version of 5.x as yet, 
but I wondered what it is that the supfiles located at /usr/share/examples/cvsup 
should be for what I want to do.

The standard-supfile that is currently on my 5.2.1 install has :

*default release=cvs tag=.

Isn't that going to get me CURRENT?

I had a look for what I would have thought should be branch information for 
RELENG_5_2_1, but couldn't actually find anything. What should I use?

Regards,

Stacey

Verbose limit is a sysctl knob now, you can display it to see
current setting or change it without a reboot. Check your
newsyslog.conf file to very the rotate trigger is the same as you
were using before.

Hello,

I have one PC with updated kernel/world from June 25th, and another
from June 10th,
all with sources for STABLE.

Both PCs have a firewall. Neither of the two seems to obey the
verbose limit of 100,
that I put in the kernel configuration file.

In the past, /var/log/secure used to rotate once a week or so, but
now it does in
less than 30 minutes due to the overwhelming amount of firewall
logs.

The kernel configuration has following lines, related to the
firewall:

   options IPDIVERT
   options IPFW2   # version 2 IPFW
   options IPFIREWALL  # firewall
   options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE  # enable logging to
syslogd(8)
   options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100# limit verbosity
   options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT# allow everything by
default

and I have in /etc/make.conf:

   IPFW2=TRUE


Any idea what is going wrong here?

Rob.

RE: NATD Port Forwarding question

[Jon Kurjakovich]

Yes. It is a Windows 2000 Server machine that I can connect to both on
the local network and via an SSH tunnel. It is simply to do with natd's
port forwarding. I also cannot use port forwarding to access any other
services on the 2000 Server box such as telnet or ftp for example.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: X.Org port broken?

Please.  Assume at least a minimal amount of competence on the part of
port maintainers.  Ports, especially of big and important software
systems like the X.Org server and clients, are not allowed to sit
around in an obviously broken and uncompilable state.  There would be
a great deal of traffic all over the freebsd-x11 and freebsd-ports
mailing lists if such breakage did occur.  Even if there was breakage
occuring that could not be fixed immediately, a 'BROKEN=' flag would
be set in the port Makefile, with a message explaining the problem.

No, the immediate conclusion has to be that you are doing something
wrong.  You don't give us any information that will allow us to say
precisely what, but I will hazard a guess that since you tried to
install XFree8604.x you have the imake-4 port installed.  That won't
work with the X.Org stuff, but it will fool the ports system into
thinking that everything is OK.

You need to de-install imake-4 and install imake-6 instead:

# portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 -f imake-\*

Then try the X.Org installation again.

Cheers,

Matthew

NATD Port Forwarding question

[Jon Kurjakovich]

Hi there,

I am currently using FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. I do plan on upgrading to
5.2-CURRENT shortly but I know people who are using 5.2-CURRENT and are
experiencing the same problem as me. If this email is not appropriate in
this mailing list, could you please forward me to the correct one. Thank
you.

My problem: I am trying to use NATD to forward packets to machines on
the internal network using the redirect_port command. I am specifically
trying to connect to a Terminal Server on a Windows 2000 machine. It
never seems to work for me. I am running natd using the following
command: natd -f /etc/natd.conf with the following options in my
natd.conf file.

interface tun0
same_ports yes
use_sockets yes
unregistered_only
redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.2:3389 3389

When I create an SSH tunnel using putty, that works fine. It is only
when I try and use natd w/ port-forwarding that it doesn't work. I
configure an extremely open firewall to ensure it is not my firewall
causing the problems. The commands I use are:

/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add 50 divert natd all from any to any via tun0
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any

If anybody could shine any light on this problem for me - it'd be
greatly appreciated. I have been trying to resolve the problem
on-and-off for months now to no avail. I finally decided I should try
the mailing list.

Thanks.

I thought I must lack of some XML library, expat is all what I can think 
about, and it's already installed.

<2>pkg_add keep telling me "tar: cannot create symbolic link" or "tar: 
xxxfile: cannot stat: No such file or directory". This message shows up in 
almost every pkg_add

<3>installed application not runnable. each display different strange error 
message. sometimes they complain lack of particiliar library (and fix by 
manual make symbolic link), but some error are too strange and need several 
pages to describe.

I tried to install from FTP server rather than disco, or to choose 
different install type. I am pretty upset. Because I have been using 
FreeBSD for 3 years and never met such problems, begin to think this is a 
not-well-tested release. Now I'm already familiar with typing "make" and 
wait for error messages.

Any idea? Should I move to 5.2?

The kernel can mix your sounds, if you use virtual sound channels such
as /dev/dsp0.x .  Check out the sysctl's hw.snd.pcm0.vchans and
hw.snd.maxautovchans.  

If your programs don't access the sound-devices directly, you could also
use something like Esound (ports/audio/esound).

Hm, then I think Grub cannot write to your HD when it is mounted.  Or
something like that.  Anyway, that step has to be performed just once.
You can always change your configfile, Grub will read it in at boot
time.

Ok.  Then grub.conf was used in older versions.  I thought it was the
other way around, but I always just symlinked one to the other.

The difference is in their configfile, it probably uses colors and some
background.  Try "grub bootsplash" on Google and you'll find plenty of 
howto's.

FreeBSD and DVI LCD monitors

[3BSD]

I have been trying for several days to get XFree86 going with my LCD
monitor, but to no luck.
Hardware:
GeForce FX 5200
BenQ FP991 19" LCD monitor with DVI-S and HD-15 connectors.

I shelled out a little extra for this monitor *specifically* for its
DVI port, but it just simply won't work with FreeBSD. Slackware Linux
10 runs fine on the monitor on the same computer using X.Org server.

 I read on google search results that DVI monitors need a Refresh rate
of 60Hz. At first I did not know which one were they talking about,
which happened to by Vertical Sync, so I set that to 60 and did a
startx, nothing.

Monitor displays a "no input signal" messages and the light blinks.
Then I installed nvidia drivers and tried, it got worse, I could not
get my console back, while the system had not crashed, the display
just would not come back, so I had to do a blind reboot.

I then read somewhere that with some monitors, there is a problem with
DDC, they lie about their digital sync rates suitable for display on
the DVI port and report the analog port settings instead. I found out
that I had to add:

Option   "NoDDC"   "1" (or "true")

to XFree86. I added the line, typed startx and was dissapointed yet
again. Same "no input signal" message on the monitor again.

I figured that if X.org server worked under Linux, then it should work
with FreeBSD without problems, but I can't even try that since X.org
port will refuse to install (already sent an e-mail in that regard to
this group).

Can anyone show me a way out of this mess? Should I try an ATi
graphics card? Is there some configuration blunder that I'm making?
