hello rob,

would sendmail 8.12.11 be enough to satisfy your upgrading needs?  if so,
no need to hassle with a manual build, because you'll find it in the ports
tree.

sorry, but i'm not sure about your first question.  i will defer to

the second disk is a rescue disk.  you do not need it for the install, but
it is handy to keep around, just in case...

yadb,

if your Aztech winmodem is of a Lucent chipset, there is a chance that it
will work.  check out /usr/ports/comms/ltmdm for the specifics.  thanks to
that port, i am able to post silly replies like this.

also, check for any other winmodem ports.   i don't know the +10k ports in
the tree by heart, but there might well be others.  both freebsd.org and
freshports.org provide simple web based search engines.

hope this helps.


cheers,

judging by the command above, you're using the 'native' version of opera
(that is to say, opera for freebsd).  is there any reason you would expect
the LINUX-flashplayer to work?   :P

try /usr/ports/www/flashpluginwrapper for the native version OR install
/usr/ports/www/linux-opera.  either should solve your problem.

hope this helps.   ;)

mss_* problems during 5.2.1 install

[Dan Harris]

I just purchased a new HP Proliant DL585 quad-opteron system.  The only
"supported" OS's are SuSE and RedHat Enterprise.  But, I thought what the
heck I'll try trusty FBSD on it. 4.10 installed perfectly, however I really
want 64-bit support.. So it looks like 5.2.1-RELEASE for me.

However, when trying to boot into setup from the minimal install CD, I hit a
roadblock:

mss_probe: no address given, try 0x530
mss_detect, busy still set (0xff)

This repeats enough times that it scrolls off the screen and I can't tell
exactly what happens before it, and the system is frozen so I can't scroll
back.

The machine has an integrated Broadcom Gigabit, which it detects fine, and a
HP Smart Array RAID controller, which it also seems to detect.  That's the
only peripherals that I'm using.  I've tried disabling the integrated
"lights-out" processor and changing IRQ's of the PCI devices with no luck,

The RAID controller is in a 133MHz PCI-x slot, if that makes a difference.

Help PLEASE! I don't want to be "forced" to put Linux on this beast!

sudo is an _excellent_ tool for giving non-root users limited
privileges.  Just because it's not in the FreeBSD base don't hold
anything against it.  I use it on my FreeBSD boxes so I can install
ports and update the machines without needing root.  On my OpenBSD box
(where sudo is part of the base) I set root's shell back to csh, not
tcsh like FreeBSD uses, to make logging in as root so uncomfortable that
it forces me to write a sudo permission for repetitive tasks. :)

FreeBSD doesn't use linux kernels.  It's using the 4.10-RELEASE GENERIC

Yes. They were both ISOs and they both boot up and everything with no
problem. There doesn't even seem to be any problems during
installation, it all starts when installation is finished and I
reboot, then it says it can't boot the kernel (with or without a
bootloader, I've tried both.)

Also, what is the second disc for? I don't use it all during
installation and it seems to be the same but without all the
installation files.

No clue, but try the current mailing list and archive. Sounds like a
hardware problem to me. Bad drive or the like. Still possible a bug in
5.2.1.

Re: Network configuration

Hello,
 I see you have a problem here.  First what kind of  connectivity does your
DSL provider use? Companies like Covad, VerizonEast, Earthlink & AOL use
pppoe.  So the first thing is to figure out what you provider requires DHCP,
Static, or pppoe. Then it is very simple to begin nating between the two
Networks.

Sendmail upgrade advice

[Rob]

Hi All,

I had some problems with Sendmail a few weeks ago and it was suggested that
I upgrade. I am finally able to do this but am now experiencing further
problems. I downloaded 8.13 but the instructions just seem to lead me in
circles sending me from one readme to another.

Ok, so it tells me the easiest way to build sendmail is to type sh Build in
the Sendmail directory. I just get an error:

%sh build
build: Can't open build: No such file or directory
%sh Build
Configuration: pfx=, os=FreeBSD, rel=4.4-RELEASE, rbase=4,
rroot=4.4-RELEASE, arch=i386, sfx=, variant=optimized
Using M4=/usr/bin/m4
Creating /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/obj.FreeBSD.4.4-RELEASE.i386/sendmail
using /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/devtools/OS/FreeBSD
sed: 1: "s/

": unterminated substitute pattern
sed: 1: "s/
//g
": unterminated substitute pattern
ERROR: /usr/bin/m4 failed; You may need a newer version of M4, at least as
new as System V or GNU

I see that it is using M4=/usr/bin/m4 so do I need to perform some sort of
upgrade on that file first?

I also see that the instructions tell me to create any necessary site
configuration build files, as noted in devtools/Site/README. Well this
particular Readme tells me nothing on how to perform these file creations.

I have read through all the readme and install files and just can't seem to
get any further.

Any help really appreciated. I am upgrading from 8.11.6.

Rob.

FreeBSD 5.2.1 and GeForce FX Go5600 multiple monitors problems

[Marco Trentini]

Hi all, I have some problems with nvidia drivers and FreeBSD
5.2.1.

My machine is the sony vaio PCG-GRT915M. It ships with GeForce
FX Go5600.

I've installed the last freebsd nvidia-driver port with
WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS=yes option. If I use only the LCD monitor
all works fine (for now). The problems come up when I want to
use LCD+CRT or LCD+TV both in the TWINVIEW mode off and on. In
these cases X starts correctly but when I exit from X then my
machine freezes and I see strange colors on my LCD.

I've noted another matter also. If I start X with Option
"ConnectedMonitor" "CRT", I can see X on CRT only (the LCD is
inactive) but when I exit from X the video signal doesn't
return on my LCD. Anyway the system is still up in this case
and I can run command (blindly) on the virtual console and
restart the machine. The same thing happens with TV device.

It is as good as the nvidia-driver doesn't reopen the LCD
device.

Will anybody help me to solve this problem?

thanks.

LRZSZ

[Alex Mitchell]

I am experiencing a major problem with LRZ on FreeBSD.  I have tried it on FreeBSD 4.7 
and FreeBSD 5.2.1.  I am using LRZ version 0.12.20.  Here's the scenario.
A very large automotive supplier (our client) uses HHP Dolphin 7200 scanners to scan 
their automotive crates.  The scans are batched in the scanners.  When they are ready 
to upload the data to our server, they dock the scanner in the cradle.  The cradle is 
connected to a 56K US Robotics modem.  We wrote the scanner application using 16bit C 
compiler (because the scanners are DOS based).  We're using a Y-Modem protocol to 
upload the data files.  The scanner dials into a modem pool to upload the data.  When 
a connection is established, LRZ is used to receive the data files from the scanner.  
With smaller files (7K and smaller), this works fine.  I've tried uploading a 12K 
file.  After uploading 8K, the scanner returns an NAK error.  This error keeps 
repeating until the scanner gives up and the upload fails.  I've tried a 24K file, it 
fails after 16K.  I've tried a 56K file and it fails at 16K.  NAK error each time.  
I've tried the above scenario on FreeBSD 4.7 and FreeBSD 5.2.1 about 30 times for each 
file size, with the exact same result each time.

I've tried the exact same setup on Linux RH 9 and it works every time.  No problems 
uploading files as big as 100K.

I am a big advocate of FreeBSD.  We currently use it on about 8 servers.  I don't want 
to have to switch to Linux.  However, if that is the only choice that I have, then 
that's the only choice I have.

If I could speak to someone about this issue, or be directed to some help, I would 
really appreciate it.  Please reply to this email and I'll send my toll-free number.  
I would really like to keep using FreeBSD to support all of our applications.  Any 
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using the version of awk supplied with the system and the
systems you're running aren't hugely out of date, then you shouldn't
have a problem.

Hmmm... The 5.x awk(1) man page certainly doesn't mention IGNORECASE
(which is a GNU extension and not in the POSIX awk specification). I
do think it odd that all those improvements to the ports search
facility should have been committed with a large chunk of
functionality not working under 5.x.  None the less, that appears to
have been the case.

IGNORECASE support hasn't been added to the one-true-awk in 5.x as far
as I can tell.  I can find no mention of it searching through the
sources via cvsweb.cgi -- mind you, that may well be because I just
didn't manage to search very effectively.  Could you try running this
command on a 5.x system?

% echo aB | awk 'BEGIN { IGNORECASE=1; } /ab/ { print "IGNORECASE works" }'

On 4.x that prints out 'IGNORECASE works' -- from what you've said,
I'd expect no output on 5.x

Looks like you've spotted a bug.

No -- 4.x uses and will use GNU awk all the way.  It's one of those
policy things: not to make potentially disruptive changes like
replacing an important application with one using a completely
different software base within the life of a system major version.

With 5.x they've switched to a BSD licensed awk(1) implementation.
They're going to do much the same with tar(1), if they haven't already
-- so long as they can make the switch before 5.3 goes stable.  If
they miss that, bsdtar will have to wait until 6.x.  Ultimately the
idea is to provide a purely BSD licensed system, but it will be quite
a long time before there's a suitable replacement for gcc(1) and the
rest of the compiler toolchain available.

You can certainly install gawk from ports if you want, but I wouldn't
go replacing the system version with it -- awk(1) is vital for
rebuilding world, kernel and you wouldn't want to run the risk of
breaking that.  After all, being able to do a case insensitive search
of the ports INDEX is not actually that important in the grand scheme
of things.

Matthew

I tried this out on my machine, which is completely different hardware/config
than yours, and I could not reproduce the problem.  It would seem to me that
the problem is either hardware-specific or the result of the above-mentioned
sysctl (my atapi_dma is turned off, and I'm too lazy to reboot to try it on)

I recently migrated a friend's e-mail from Outlook [Distress?] to MacOS-X. 
I had a bit of handwork, but basically:

 1) Exported the Outlook info in 'csv' format
 2) Exported a sample address book as csv from my target (maybe the Mac 
mail reader - I don't remember, but anyway it's a system resource in
MacOS-X: one address book seems to fit all clients)
 3) Loaded both into a spreadsheet - probably StarOffice so try OpenOffice
 4) Moved a few fields around so the Outlook export would match the target

NOW:
 5) Saved from the spreadsheet in Data Interchange Format
 6) Slurped the *.dif into the new agent.

There are scripts for much of this, but I was as well off 'by hand' for
this one shot. You may be able to skip some steps depending on your source
and target options.

HTH.

I don't but I did try it when you sent me to /usr/ports/CHANGES

I only have one copy of awk on the box.  Things like awk I usually take
for granted and don't think about.  Here's what I think I see, please
correct me if I'm wrong.

On all my 5.2.1-RELEASE boxes the version of awk appears to be the
one-true-awk which I believe is the old AT&T/Lucent awk.  I don't know
how to extract the exact version number but obviously doesn't support
IGNORECASE.  I've never done anything intentionally to change versions
of awk on any of these.

The only 4.x system I have is a 4.8 box which has never gone through a
buildworld/installworld cycle (it's a poor old Pentium that's just used
as a caching DNS server in my LAN) and it does have GNU Awk 3.0.6 on it.
If I did a buildworld/installworld on it, would it use the Makefile in
/usr/src/usr.bin/awk, which seems to point to the source for the
one-true-awk?

I do see the GNU version of awk in ports, gawk-3.1.1_1.  Should I be
using that?  Will it break something else if I install it and link
/usr/bin/awk to it?

Yes, I'm confused.

clearing a drive

[dave]

Hi,
I've got a corrupted drive which i am unable now to clear. Whenever i
try to fdisk it then relabel it i get an error that partition c does not
cover the entire disk and that this might interfere with system utilities.
I've tried:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=1
and various combinations thereof, without success. Normally running
sysinstall will work, but in this case it is saying an error occurred
writing partition information to drive ad1, and not allowing me to proceed.
This is on a 5.2.1 box.
Thanks.

Ah, it becomes clearer now thank you.

I've changed from Quoted printable to 7bit/8bit.  If it looks better
all I'll need to do then is get everyone else to change :)

Agreed, this is probably the safest method.
Rather than "temporary," why not just keep your email on the imap 
server?  That way you can try lots of different email clients, as long 
as they support imap.  's what I do.

Out of curiosity, why would you like to see them continue to support 
XFree86?  It seems that most (all?) new development is moving toward X.org 
and the XFree86 seems slated for stagnation and obsolescence.  Political 
issues aside, I think that X.org is where all of the action is.

Mouse in X

[Stanley Wright]

I have set FBSD up on an old pentium II MMX 233 MHZ machine and everything works fine 
except for the mouse (serial). When using X the mouse behaves crazy i cant get it to 
move in any useful way. Ive checked and checked and found:
edit /etc/XF86Config and set Protocol to "Sysmouse" and Device to "/dev/sysmouse" but 
this does not work- any suggestions ?

Seconded.  This is my preferred method for migrating .pst data.  Only
problem with it is the requirement that you still have Outlook installed
and available.  But it's by far the fastest and cleanest way I know.

Another workaround - amplifying a suggestion by another poster.
You're obviously running windows now. Install Mozilla, fire up the mail 
client, do NOT let it become the default mail application, go to tools - 
import and import your outlook mail, and addresses (this only works if 
Outlook is still the default mail application).

Copy the whole mozilla profile - location depends on your version of 
windows to CD or whatever.

Install mozilla on FreeBSD, fire it up (to create the ~/.mozilla tree), 
close it down, copy the folders and files from inside the .slt folder 
from windows to inside the .slt folder in .mozilla/profilename/

Subject: IPFW fwd to remote address
I am trying to set up a forward from one machine to another on a remote
network across the Internet.
I want to receive requests on one box on port 8080 and simply forward them
to a remote machine on the same port. I have tried the following rules, to
no avail. I have IPFIREWALL_FORWARD in my kernel (4.10), and # ipfw show
reports the hits to the rule.
# ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x tcp from any to me 8080
# ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x,8080 tcp from any to me 8080

# ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x,8080 from any to any 8080
I can not see the packets going back out of the machine, nor does ipfw log
anything at the other end. # tcpdump at the remote end does not pick up
any traffic.
Does this have something to do with the fact that I am going across the
Internet, and it is trying to route the packets back to itself (I
understand the dest does not get changed). If so, how could I re-write the
packets so they will get delivered?
Tks for any help on this

Yes, exactly.  That *is* how your mails are sent.
If you look at the headers of your mails they contain the line
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
which means that some letters are encoded exactly as you describe.
Most mail-readers understand this format and automatically decodes
those letters.

Yes, anybody who looks at web-archives will see exactly what you
describe, but the archives are not corrupted.  The problem is rather
that the archives don't understand the quoted-printable format, so the
mails are displayed as they were recieved, instead of being converted
into a more readable form.

hd problems after install

[Freek Nossin]

Hello,

I've a problem with my hard disk after installing freebsd; this is the story
so far:

Last week I tried to install freebsd. In the partitioning phase of the
install I got the warning that my size geometry seemed to be incorrect and
that the installer had chosen a more likely setting. So I continued, but
when all the settings were complete and the installer was writing them to
disk the process crashed and my computer rebooted. Now the scary part was
that my disk was making a ticking sound (not good.) even after the computer
was rebooting. Then it stopped only after I turned off the power of my pc.
Then I restarted my pc and the bios detected all my drives, but then (AFTER
the detection of IDE drives) the bios complained that my primary slave, the
disc I tried to install freebsd on, failed.

Now the weird thing is, that besides the error the bios reports everything
seems to be ok. I've used powermax (a utility of Maxtor, the manufacturer of
my HD) to analyse the disk and even do a low level format (zero disk fill).
The tests all pass, although there are some points that indicate something
is wrong, the first 90s test suggests to do a full test run, but that comes
out clean. Also the detection process of the HD in the bios is notably
slower than before. Furthermore when I plug the disk next to a windows
install, windows can use the disk normally. 

My question is, how can a freebsd install result in such a disc problem? And
how do I fix the problem other then sending it back to Maxtor?

Extra Info: the drive is a 60 GB Maxtor drive and I have the bios of my Asus
A7V266 updated from 1.010 to 1.011 after the crash. 

Thanks in advance,

Freek Nossin

I see this stuff all the time.   I have gotten so I just ignore it
except when replying or quoting and then I just manually remove 
the junk.   It is a nuisance, but I don't know any good way of
getting rid of it.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at

II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!

  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:

  unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
  which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
  not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
  messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
  clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies l

I think that's just because the mid.cgi script doesn't know how to
process quoted-printable text, so it just passes it though.  The
pipermail archive of your message at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/052070.html
looks correct, as does the gmane copy at

I'm amazed.  "=" shows as "=3D" and "=3D" as "=3D3D" for me!

How do I import my Outlook .pst files into Evolution? 
 
  Question 
  As my previous email client, I used Microsoft Outlook. How can I
import my old email and contacts from Outlook?
 
  Answer 
  Evolution cannot import these files directly into Evolution because
the .pst format is a proprietary format, and access to it requires the
use of the MAPI.DLL library, which can only be read by applications
running in Windows. However, there are two applications that can
convert the files for you: Outport and Mozilla. You will be running
these applications under Windows and we cannot guarantee that they
will work, nor can we support them. You can also export address
information to CSV format and then convert it to a format that
Evolution understands.

To Use Outport:

This is a bit of "the long way around", but I've done it, so I know it
works.

We set up a temporary IMAP server, and used Outlook to copy all the mail
and folders up to the IMAP server.  Then you can just connect to the IMAP
server with your new mail client to get at all your stuff.

I believe that ximian evolution does:

i don't know of clients which support both (not that they don't exist),
however there are tools out there to convert between the formats.  i have
not used any myself, so i cannot speak to the degree of success in 
converting (though i assume its good).

/usr/ports/mail/libpst  is in the tree.  there are also others out there on
sf.net and cpan.org which are simply perl scripts to achieve the same end.

hth and good luck,

The archive shows your post exactly as it was sent.  Your mails are
encoded with quoted-printable, which does encode some characters as you
indicate.  The archive is not corrupted since it displays the mails
exactly as they were received.
It would be desirable to have the mails in the archive converted from
quoted-printable into standard 8-bit clean format, but no corruption
happens.

Your mails might have been encoded differently before. Some mail
gateaways convert mails from one encoding to another before passing
them along - either adding or stripping quoted-printable encoding.

You're welcome to use any of the above, too.

Sort of.  The postfix, qmail, and other MTA ports will mostly replace

Moving my Outlook PST file to any BSD E-mail client

If I can move my old e-mail onto my new machine then I can be done with

Corrupt list archives?

[John Murphy]

While browsing the freebsd-questions archives at freebsd.org
and via google, I noticed that corruption occurs, under some
circumstances, where "=" becomes "=3D" (3D is ascii for =)
and some spaces are shown as "=20".

Eg. A familiar line from /etc/rc.conf misleadingly becomes:
firewall_enable=3D"YES"

This obviously isn't a FreeBSD problem (except that affected
messages in the archives are wrong) but I wondered if anyone
here has any idea why it's happening, and whether anything
can be done to fix the problem and correct the archives.

s/=3D/=/g ?

The first instances of the problem (found via google groups)
occurred ~1994! The first archived in this list ~Feb. 2000.

The same corruption can be seen in the mailing.freebsd.questions
newsgroup so it's not an http/html problem.

You can "chmod u+s date" in order to make it setuid-root, although doing so 
 is not without risk.

If you don't trust a user with root, why would you permit them to change the 
clock?  Why not just configure ntpd and have the system time set correctly and 
not worry about this at all...

Another option is to use the sysutils/cronolog port. Configure it in
httpd.conf, with ErrorLog and CustomLog directives similar to the
following:


ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog --symlink=/var/log/httpd/error_log 
/var/log/httpd/error_log_%y%m%d"

CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog --symlink=/var/log/httpd/access_log 
/var/log/httpd/access_log_%y%m%d" combined


cronolog will rotate logs automatically each day. From the cronlog man page:

   Before writing a message cronolog checks the time to  see  whether  the
   current  log file is still valid and if not it closes the current file,
   expands the template using the current date and time to generate a  new
   file name, opens the new file (creating missing directories on the path
   of the new log file as needed  unless  the  program  is  compiled  with
   -DDONT_CREATE_SUBDIRS)  and  calculates  the time at which the new file
   will become invalid.

See the man page for further details.

I've been using it for awhile on my public web server. Seems to work just fine.

I believe that net.inet.ip.forwarding is equivilant to gateway_enable in
rc.conf (enable the box as a router). I have no idea if the fwd is part of
that feature or not.

I can see IPFW picking up the fwd rule, but the box that it is forwarding
to does not see the traffic.

BTW, I am trying to forward proxy traffic from one box to another box (on
a remote network) just as a test. I'll eventually implement the theory in
a transparent proxy setup.

I'm just going to install the kernel and see what happens.

Tks for the info.

Depends on the proxy.  If it's an application specific proxy then
unfortunately you are out of luck.  You would need a program that ran
under windows and that understood the cvsup protocol.  I don't believe
that such a program exists.  On the other hand, if you have a much
lower level of proxying -- down at the packet level -- all you would
need to do is forward packets destined for port 5999/tcp.  I say
"proxy", but the piece of software that does that job is usually
described as doing "Network Address TRanslation" -- and the standard
way of doing that under Windows is with the Connection Sharing setup,
so dead end there as well.

However, all is not lost.  You can use CTM instead of cvsup -- see the
ctm(1) man page and the handbook section:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ctm.html

With CTM you get a series of 'deltas' sent to you via e-mail (which
you should have no trouble receiving) -- use the ctm(1) program to
apply them to your sources and it will keep everything up to date for
you.

Cheers,

Matthew

Silent errors when reading CDs

[Jean-Sebastien Roy]

Hi !
I'm currently using FreeBSD 4.10 on an HP D530 SFF.
The system is perfectly stable except for the following problem 
I'm unable to understand :

When I mount a cdrom (mount /cdrom), then calculate the MD5 hash 
of a big file on a CD (md5 /cdrom/bigfile), the results are often random:
unmounting, mounting again and calculating again the MD5 often result in
a different value. What disturb me the most is that absolutely no errors
are reported in any log (no read errors for example).

I thought the CDROM reader, a LITE-ON LTR-48327S PQS3, was the culprit, 
so I replaced it with a PLEXTOR DVDR PX-712A and got the exact same results
(i.e. random MD5 values). I checked the RAM using memtest and got no
errors. The problem does not occur for files on the harddisk.

hw.ata.atapi_dma is set since both drives support it and it seems to be 
required for proper CD/DVD burning. The CD drive is the master on its
own ATA bus.

Could someone provide me a hint on what to check next or how to fix this
problem ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Regards,
Jean-Sebastien

One other way might be:

IPADDR=$(ifconfig tun0 | grep 'inet' | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
route add 192.168.0.0/16 ${IPADDR}

But as Christian mentioned, this assumes you know the tun interface
number.

| Has anyone successfully gotten Samba to act as a "point'n print" print
| server within a Windows 2000 domain or know of any good HOWTOs? I'm
having

I have got it working, although it was a long time ago and I can't remember
exactly how I did it or any HOWTO's I used, so I can only really point you
at some configuration really.

I am using CUPS, I have heard you can do it with apsfilter or something and
it's better? but it works fine for me so I left it with CUPS (you may have
to recompile samba with CUPS support?). After CUPS is installed you should
first edit /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs. Right at the
bottom of each of these files is a commented out raw filter. You'll need to
uncomment both of these lines for raw printing! Start cupsd and setup a raw
printer with the web based configuration, http://localhost:631 I think
that's all you have to do for CUPS.

Then you'll need to edit smb.conf located in /usr/local/etc and include, as
global options

   load printers = yes
   printcap = cups
   printcap name = cups
   printing = cups
   printer admin = @admin

You'll want to change the printer admin from the admin group probably. Then
you'll need to make two shares along the lines of

[printers]
   comment = Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   guest ok = yes
   public = yes
   writeable = no
   printable = yes
   printer admin = @admin

[print$]
   comment = Printer Driver Download
   path = /samba/printerdriver
   browsable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = yes
   write list = @admin

Again, you'll want to change the @admin groups and probably the path for
the print$ share then restart samba. Here's a bit I can't quite remember
but i'm sure someone on the list will be able to fill it in. You'll need to
install the printer drivers into the print$ share, I seem to remember doing
this by going to \\computername . You should see a printers folder in
there! Possibly using the Add Printer thing in there, if not then I guess
you could try \\computername\printers (that seems to come up with some
sorta wizard).

Oh! I just saw something which I never saw before but sounds like what you
need to install the printer drivers to the server. If you goto
\\computername and then double clicks the printers folder, right click in
here and goto Server Properties. Click the Drivers tab and then hit the Add
button. Seems to be what you need. Providing all goes well and you see the
windows drivers now in \\computername\print$ you should be able to setup
the clients using the printer wizard and they *should* get the drivers from
the server automatically now!

Sorry it's all so rough, I really can't remember what I did exactly. If
none of that seems to work then you could always try searching for "samba
cups" on google. Maybe someone else can help more!

reboot but doesnt ?

[J.D. Bronson]

I am running 5.2.1 on a compaq Deskpro EN SFF P3-500 machine (IDE)
and all is well but when I console into it (or telnet) and give the command 
"reboot":

05:46:39 corona login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0
05:46:42 corona reboot: rebooted by root
the console shows the system shutting down and then word REBOOTING.
The console goes dark and then the machine sits and hangs. No output
on the console and nothing happens. I cannot even shut the machine off by 
holding the power button in! - I have to unplug it and then when I replug 
it in and fire it up -all is ok.

Could this be the hard drive?? - If I use a different hard drive with 
solaris on it, it will reboot just fine on this command. So I am wondering 
if its the FreeBSD and/or the drive??

Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks..

web browser plugin strategy for FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Andrew L. Gould]

In FreeBSD 4.10, I'm using mozilla and diablo-jre; which isn't an option 
in 5*.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 Release; and can't seem to get internet 
browser plugins for java working.

What combinations of browsers and java packages are working well under 
5.2.1?  I have no strong browser preference, other than getting the 
plugins to work.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew Gould

Layer 4 switching in FBSD?

[Steve Bertrand]

I'd like to implement some style of load balancing for my smtp and
spamassassin servers. It was suggested to me that layer-4 switching was
the way to go. I do not want to do round-robin DNS, as it could prove to
be a problem if one of the boxes goes down.

For bridging type firewalls and/or network surveylance equipment, I often
put 5 NIC's into a FBSD box and it works perfectly great.

I'd like to know if FBSD is capable of layer-4 switching, or some other
similar technology to load balance that it can do while loaded up with
NIC's.

Tks for any input, suggestions or advice.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi,

add:

FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl

to your sendmail.mc

Add in /etc/mail/genericstable

Change to /etc/mail

Right I check up on this connection sharing on windows Xp but run into 
a small problem , the connection sharing will only work if you use 
windows xp's dailup to connect to your ISP but my father uses the 
dailup connection program the ISP offers(and I tried setting it up 
using the xp's dailer but with no success) , therefore there is no 
dailup in the network connections of xp, so I can't use the 
connection sharing of xp unless there is some other way to enable it.

It is possible though for me to use a proxy , I use it for my basic 
connections like mail , www , etc. But how would I be able to get 
cvsup to work on a connection like this?

Thanks

Re: nvidia XFree86 or X

You can run X.Org X server with the Nvidia driver:

% grep NVIDIA /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
(II) NVIDIA XFree86 Driver  1.0-4365  Wed May 28 09:23:41 PDT 2003
(II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs
(--) Chipset NVIDIA GPU found


Here's a patch you can apply to the x11/nvidia-driver Makefile so that
it will correctly identify various files that port replaces:

Note that you don't need to apply this patch -- it just helps should
you want to deinstall the nvidia-driver port.

When switching from XFree86 to X.Org I also found that it paid to look
again at the AGP settings -- whether to use the standard FreeBSD
agp(4) driver, or the one that comes with the Nvidia driver.

Cheers,

Matthew

nVidia chipset - ethernet support?

[Denis S.]

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone runs with success the nvnet port with the 
latest source package from 
http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040520.tar.gz to make 
the nforce2 builtin ethernet card to work?

I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 since two weeks on my brand new leadtek 
K7NCR18G Pro II...
I can't make the second ethernet card work...

I don't have any special kernel config, just added the latest nvidia 
video driver (version 4365) from the ports tree.

Thanks

Rack-Mount Server cases

[Eric Crist]

Hey list,

I'm just asking opinions here, but:

What do you prefer for a 2U rack mount server case?  I want to keep the
cost down, but I want something that looks nice and is functional.  I've
got 5 servers I'm looking at replacing existing cases on to make them
match, as well as to free up some rack space, as some cases I currently
own are 4U, and some are 2U.

Also, a good UPS rack mount?  I'm currently exploring the APC Smart-UPS
1500VA.  This is a home/hobby type network, and all I need to backup is:

1) 5 servers (no monitors)
2) DSL Modem
3) 24-port Switch
4) Wifi AP

Thanks!

Eric

Probably, there won't be a problem in general. Difficulties may arise,
e.g., if your graphics adapter isn't well supported by the X window
system.

Re: driver cant find it :(

Hello Christiaan,

Broadcom BCM4401 cards are supported in 5.2.1 FreeBSD by bfe driver.

For more information please visit:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bfe&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2.1-RELEASE

And perhaps you would like to use 5.2.1 system instead of 5.0 if you
have a chance.
