RocketRaid 404 on FreeBSD 4.10

2004-07-11 Thread Artem Koutchine
Does anybody use RocketRaid 404 on 4.10?
I see on high point site driver only for 4.9, does it run
on 4.10?"

Question about cvs-all mail list

2004-07-11 Thread BSDjunkie
Hello all!

Seems like there is a lot of activity on the cvs-all
mailing list...however I was wondering what the
information that passes through that list can do for
me?

I am not a developer and do not wish to track the
'bleeding edge'.

Other than telling me what files are being modified
and how many lines of code were added or
taken-away...what benefit does that knowlege have for
me?

Anybody here find it useful?

Thanks!

I would recommend you avoid the Antec 2U unit (& probably all Antec 
rack-mounts if the 2U is any indication).

as you certainly won't be the first person to ask about cd-burning, the 
archives will probably already contain the answers to any of the questions
you are likely to have.  be sure to check them out.  they are kept on hand
for several reasons, not the least of which is the invaluable resource they
provide for researching and solving problems, both esoteric and common.  :)

Re: How Critical Is It To Use an ISP Running FreeBSD or BSD/OS?

That being said, I'd like to point out that some isps are willing to 
work with you.  I started work in the computer industry in 98 at a 
very small isp.  I was the first tech hired.  I had experience when i 
started with Windows 3.1-95, NT 4, OS/2 Warp 3, and Redhat 5.0.  By 
the time I left in 2000, I handled all "odd" os calls. Basically our 
techs could only handle windows 95, 98 and to some degree win 2k 
calls.  I handled all NT4, OS/2, Linux, HP-UX (yeah we got some), 
Solaris, and Mac calls.  if i wasn't there, customers were told to 
call during my next scheduled shift.  The other techs wouldn't 
consider trying to help them.  Often they just wanted dns servers, or 
phone numbers.  The mere mention of another os scared the techs off.  
I was considered tier 2 support, web designer/webmaster and the NT sys 
admin at the company which only had 15 employees in 2000.  We had 
about 4000 dialups and 1000 hosting accounts (mostly linux).

In short, if you know explicit questions to ask then you can get 
help.  If not, you are out of luck.  I have to lie to SBC to get help 
with my DSL line when it goes down just because i have a router and 
non windows based oses in the house. :)

Luke,
Hopefully, I'll find an ISP committed to supporting the FreeBSD platform.
Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I gain the expertise necessary to 
talk MS
and translate that to FreeBSD.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

if i am not mistaken, you'll need perl and the distfile.  that's it.  i
believe that you can install perl via your freebsd install disk (or is it
even part of the base system?)

fwiw, ltmdm-1.4.tgz weighs in at a trivial 487K.  if you have one, a floppy
is definitely the way to go here.  ...and keep it handy for future
installs.  you can always upgrade to the latest version after you're
connected.

You need to try CUPS (Common Unix Printing Service) or apsfilter with the base 
lpd.  The latter is my personal preference, and I've never not been able to 
get a printer working using this method.  I've never used CUPS personally, 
but it seems to be the norm from what I read in the list.  

apsfilter is installable via the ports at /usr/ports/print/apsfilter.

Re: Can't Mount Optical Drive

if you're trying to mount a 'blank' cd, i do not believe that it will work,

be mounted.  both, however, can be manipulated by programs (ex. disc
burners or music players/rippers).
if you're doing something other than what i suggest above and are still not

it is and what is on it.
hope that this helps.

You may want to try:

or its equivalent:
mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom
Also, if you're trying to mount a DVD instead of a CD, you may need to
try:
mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom


I have some another disk mounting question, too. Sometimes when I try
to >mount the CD drive I get an error that goes something like:
Incorrect super block
What does this error mean? What does it mean in reference to a hard 
drive? What does it mean in reference to a CD drive?
  

The superblock is a chunk of disk that has housekeeping information
like the amount of free space, where to find free inodes, and so on.
The error can mean pretty much the same things no matter what the
medium.  It might mean that you've specified the wrong filesystem --
"mount" (which defaults to FreeBSD's UFS filesystem) instead of "mount
-t cd9660", say.  It might also mean that the the filesystem hasn't been
formatted yet, or (if a CD) that you've burned a coaster.  Or, it might
mean that you are about to be very grateful for your carefully-followed
backup plan. :-)

hello steven,

this will probably sound silly, and if you think so too, i'll take your
silence as 'yes, silly bunny.'

1) have you rebooted since the changes to rc.conf?

2) does your rc.conf entry include the " " marks?
  usbd_enable="NO"

3) does a 'usbd_enable' line appear 'more than once' in your rc.conf? 
several rc.conf entries are generated by the installation.  perhaps you've
got two.  you may have created your "NO" entry at the top of the
file and have a "YES" entry a few lines down.

anyhoo.  hope that this gives you something to double check.

hello paulo,

glad to hear that you got flash working.  sorry for pointing you toward
an obsolete version of the port (and THANKS arjan for catching that  :)

for my part, i've never bothered to get flash audio working.  sorry
that i cannot help you with that.

i am writing, however, to suggest that you take a minute to review the
purpose for each mailing list *before* using them to contact other freebsd
users with your help requests.

see http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo (from this page, you can
click on a list to see a summary page for that list)  hopefully a couple of
examples will make this clear:

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-www
A mailing list that allows you to send mail to the Webmasters, the managers
of FreeBSD Project web servers (not web servers that hosted on FreeBSD
computers).

(do you really want to mail the freebsd webmasters?)

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies
Welcome to FreeBSD!
This list is a gathering place for people new to FreeBSD.
Please feel free to share your experiences with others on this list.
Support questions should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(hmmm.  looks like they don't provide support)

anyhow.  the short story is that, for 99.87% of the questions you're likely
to have, freebsd-questions is the right place.  please don't spam the
other lists.

good luck getting your flash audio working.  i'm sure that someone will
eventually be able to help you out.


cheers,
epi

p.s. another good habit to develop is taking the time to search the
archives.  this question may already have been answered for another
user.  i am not saying that it has, but you never know until you look.   ;)
to reach the archives for any list, check out the link on its summary
page.

Hello,
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried an uninstall/reinstall, but am still
getting the error. It's an error code1, not when making a specific package
during the portsdb -Uu but the process can not complete successfully.

hello jason,

if you're trying to mount a 'blank' cd, i do not believe that it will work,
because there is no 'filesystem' to mount.  please note that the same is
true of music cds.  they have no 'filesystem' in the unix sense and cannot
be mounted.  both, however, can be manipulated by programs (ex. disc
burners or music players/rippers).

if you're doing something other than what i suggest above and are still not
able to mount your 'filesystem' disc, please let us know what type of disc
it is and what is on it.

hope that this helps.

Re: How Critical Is It To Use an ISP Running FreeBSD or BSD/OS?

2004-07-11 Thread Lucas Holt
If it is a small ISP, then the a unix like operating system on their 
servers might me someone there can help you.  With large isps, its 
irrelivant.  They will only support Windows, Mac Classic (os 9 or 
lower) and maybe OSX if you are lucky.

That being said, I'd like to point out that some isps are willing to 
work with you.  I started work in the computer industry in 98 at a very 
small isp.  I was the first tech hired.  I had experience when i 
started with Windows 3.1-95, NT 4, OS/2 Warp 3, and Redhat 5.0.  By the 
time I left in 2000, I handled all "odd" os calls. Basically our techs 
could only handle windows 95, 98 and to some degree win 2k calls.  I 
handled all NT4, OS/2, Linux, HP-UX (yeah we got some), Solaris, and 
Mac calls.  if i wasn't there, customers were told to call during my 
next scheduled shift.  The other techs wouldn't consider trying to help 
them.  Often they just wanted dns servers, or phone numbers.  The mere 
mention of another os scared the techs off.  I was considered tier 2 
support, web designer/webmaster and the NT sys admin at the company 
which only had 15 employees in 2000.  We had about 4000 dialups and 
1000 hosting accounts (mostly linux).

In short, if you know explicit questions to ask then you can get help.  
If not, you are out of luck.  I have to lie to SBC to get help with my 
DSL line when it goes down just because i have a router and non windows 
based oses in the house. :)

Kernel-level PPPoE server

2004-07-11 Thread Andrew
Hi! I'm fighting my way through manuals and mailing-list archives and I hope
you won't mind a dumb question.

I run FreeBSD4.10-Release and I want to set up a kernel-level PPPoE server.
The problem is I can't find a way to make pppd work with pppoed. As you
know, pppoed executes "exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct label" by default, but it
can be passed any other line to execute. Pppoed(8) says: "The child process
will have standard input and standard output attached to the same
netgraph(4) data socket (see ng_socket(4)) when started." Unfortunately,
pppd has no analog of "direct" option for ppp. If we execute pppd without
any tty_name, then it assumes "/dev/tty" and, as expected, exits after an
error: "Failed to open /dev/tty: Device not configured".

Since pppoed can execute any line, we can run any script or program before
we invoke pppd. So, is there any way to open a pseudo-terminal that would
connect to current standart input and standart output? Pppoed opens a pppoe
connection via ng_pppoe and ng_socket, all we need for pppd to work is a
device (tty) representing the data socket.

Is there any other way to get pppd and pppoed working together?

Is there any other way to set up a fast pppoe server under FreeBSD?

Thanks,
Andrew

Exactly, you're comparing it to Win98 and saying "Yeah, we can do that

Those are not ordinary processes.  Rather they are kernel threads (or
some such description) -- along the same lines as the vmdaemon,
swapper or syncer threads.

In order to get rid of them, you'ld have to compile a custom kernel
with all of the usb support ripped out *and* you'ld have to take steps
to prevent the kernel autoloading a usb.ko kernel module on boot up.

If you have inadvertently loaded a usb kld module -- use kldstat(8) to
see if that is the case -- then you should be able to unload it with
kldunload(8), so long as it's not actually busy doing stuff.

On the whole though, I wouldn't bother too much about those usb kernel
thread things.  They're generally harmless and they don't have any
impact on the rest of the system if there are no USB peripherals in
use.

Cheers,

Matthew

LOL, really fewer features than Windows 98 GDI? Did Windows 98
recently become network extensible and no one has told me? After a
quick look at what Windows 98's GDI does, I really do not see how
XFree86 fails to measure up to it.

Heh, not from what I've read in many linux rags... atleast to them it
is nearly all about licensing issues as far I can tell... plus they
like to blame X(specifically XFree86) for slowness despite crappy
kernels prior to 2.6 and what generally appears to be just all around
bad X configs and appear to be welcoming Xorg in hope that it will
change with out any thing proving it otherwise...

I am extremely new to Free BSD and Im sorry for the probably basic questions

I am installing some mods to my phpbb message board and I have been told to
"backup" my stuff before I install these mods incase something should go
wrong.

I am wondering what the command line would be to accomplish this?

My current webmaster who has been doing the work for me has been extremely
busy the past few weeks and has no time to help me right now so im forced to
learn this on my own.

The files he has been creating end in .tar.gz and .bak.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much

Add some echos to /etc/profile to make sure it's really being executed,

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add your path to ldconfig_paths, or create a
small startup script to put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the command
"ldconfig -m /usr/local/wherever_libmysqlclient.so_is". /etc/ld.so.conf
is a Linuxism.

Or solve both of your problems at once by removing /usr/local/mysql and
installing the /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client and mysql40-server
ports :)

don't want to append it to the .profile of each user!!!

It has been providing the best X-Server for years but that does
not necessarily mean it's that good. The development team, I
hear, is not very welcoming of updates, fixes and suggestions.
That's the main reason the x.org team split, it's so they could
increase the integration of new features into the source tree
at a greater pace. The X server as it stands now isn't even
more feature packed than what Win98's GDI could do.

For a brand new domain, you are exactly correct, or indeed for an RR
added to an existing domain.  For modification to any RR within a
previously existing domain there may well be a delay perceived by the
end user while waiting out the TTL of any old data cached in various
servers between him and the authoritative servers.  Those TTLs are
typically somewhere between an hour and several days.  It's not
actually a propagation delay, but the effect is much the same.

As the administrator of a zone, you can avoid or mitigate the delay by
dropping the TTL on any zone sufficiently far in advance of any
important changes.  You will see DNS traffic to your server increase
somewhat as network caches invalidate their stored data more often,
but that's the price of getting the fresh data out there promptly.

The worst case is where the NS records in the parent zone are modified
to point to a new set of authoritative servers, but the previous
authoritative servers are neither shut down nor loaded with the up to
date zone data.  A cache may keep referring back to the old servers
and refreshing itself with what it has no way of telling is old data
for some time.  It's a good idea when changing the servers for a
domain to make sure both the old and the new servers carry the latest
zone data for some suitable overlap period.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hello,
I'm running a 5.2.1 system with portupgrade on it. I'm trying to update my
ports and am getting an index generation error when i run:

I've deleted the entire ports tree, and rerun cvsup, refetched the entire

error, this is not occurring on the same package, which leads me to believe
i've got a corrupted database somewhere, no idea where.

Re: DNS server

2004-07-11 Thread Len Conrad

Perhaps you need to do some research on the subject.
perhaps you need to clarify your vagary 
There are a series of DNS systems
???
For a public domain.tld, the only two servers involved are :
1. the servers authoritative for .tld to publish the delegation and glue 
records for domain.tld.

2. the servers authoritative for domain.tld to answer authoritatively.
Period. There are NO other servers involved, nor is there any "propagation".
a domain needs to be added to before it will function correctly.
This is known as propagation.
the misnomer propagation is used by people who think DNS data needs time to 
be available, to "propagate", over several days or a week, for all of 
Internet.  This is pure BS. There is no such concept in DNS.

serious vinum bug in 4-10 RELEASE?

2004-07-11 Thread Steve Shorter
Howdy!

I have 4 identical disks, labels etc are also identical.

It looks like vinum after reboot does not recognize drives
properly, as it did immedialtely after initial configuration.
One drive/subdisk in each plex isn't recognized, and the other one
is duplicated, which destroys the mirror.

I created 2 vinum volumes with

# vinum create -f /etc/vinum.raid1

and the following config file

drive data0 device /dev/da0d
drive data1 device /dev/da1d
drive data2 device /dev/da2d
drive data3 device /dev/da3d

volume mq0 setupstate
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive data0
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive data2

volume mq1 setupstate
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive data1
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive data3




after running

# vinum lv  -r -v


I get (correctly)

For the time being, I shall hack the Makefile.

Something I didn't think about at my last reply, are you sure your DNS server 
is set up correctly?  Does it resolve it's own domains correctly, and is it 
able to answer queries about other domains?  I would check that while you 
were waiting for propagation.

Re: DNS server

2004-07-11 Thread Len Conrad

No, it doesn't.  I can successfully perform a whois from here on your domain,
but an nslookup/dig both fail.  Give it 72 hours to propagate across the net.
propagation is a bogus idea when applied to DNS.  Like WMD and "immediate 
threat" when applied to Iraq.

As soon as the delegation and glue data for domain.tld is present in the 
.tld servers, that data is instantaneously available across all of Internet.

dig @NS_auth_for_tld domain.tld  any
Forget about whois data, it is operationally irrelevant for DNS 
operation.  whois protocol with whois servers, dns protocol with dns 
servers, ne'ver the twain meet.

The WHOIS and DNS databases are distinct,
and not necessarily synchronized. You need
to wait until your domain is added to the .ORG
zone file of the master .ORG DNS Server
(that normally happens every 12 hours from the
PIR registry, IIRC [I can be wrong here!]). It can
then take up to 72 hours to propagate to the other
.ORG DNS slaves, and also to your ISPs DNS servers.
Just give it some time to propagate.

Why not?  At the moment, differences between the two are small, but in
the future they probably will both have interesting new features.  The
Ports also offer multiple shells, multiple window managers, ... so why
not multiple X-servers?

I don't see why.  XFree86 has been offering us the best free X-server
for years.  It always worked fine for me.  

And why would BSD care about a GPL-incompatible licese?

No, it doesn't.  I can successfully perform a whois from here on your domain, 
but an nslookup/dig both fail.  Give it 72 hours to propagate across the net.  
While the whois server for your domain is correct, the root servers for 
the .org TLD have not been updated to know where to look for that domain's 
information.

If it's still not working 3 days from now, let us know and we'll see if we can 
help you from there.

Jim,

Many cable providers require that you register the MAC address of the NIC 
interfaces you connect to their cable modems.  Many used to do this, and have 
gotten away from it, as it causes problems such that you're experiencing now.  
When you had your service installed, did the service just work, or did you 
have to go to a web page and type some things in, first?  

I know that if you use an internet gateway device, such as a Linksys model, 
they usually have a feature called MAC Address Cloning to defeat this.  

To confirm this is your issue, try swapping network cards between the 
computers.  You should find that you're now able to obtain an IP address.

.tar is the standard extension for a TAR-file,
see http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html or 'man tar'

.gz is the extension for GNU-zip,
see http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/gzip.html or 'man gzip'

a file that ends in .tar.gz is a zipped-tar-file...
so, you have to first unZIP it, and then unTAR it.

Generally, when I've come across this type of error it is a result of faulty
hardware. I would suggest running a program like memtest86 or 
benchmark software that would stress your system somewhat. I'd wager
that your system is less than stable when put under any sort of load
(as occurrs when compiling a kernel).

Hi Jason,

Check out this page which is a great walk through on getting what you
need set up:

http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200305/cfmount.html

In particular, you need to mount the corresponding 'da' device, not
the ugen device.

Cox.net is different from many other ISPs in that it only allows connections
based upon registered MAC addresses. If you're not familiar with them,
MAC addresses are globally unique identifiers assigned to each and
every NIC. I believe the Cox.net setup CD that you speak of registers
the MAC address with Cox for you. Of course, the NIC in your
FreeBSD box has a different MAC address than the one in your
Win98 box so Cox is saying "hey, this is not the computer
that's allowed to be connecting to our service!"

To resolve this problem, either call up their tech support
and ask them to add your FreeBSD NIC's MAC address
to your allowed list or see if you can do it yourself
by going to cox's account administration webpage.

If you don't know the MAC address of your FreeBSD NIC,
you can view it by running 'dmesg' and looking at the line
where the system loads your NIC. It'll be listed there.

You probably didn't configure the resolver library correctly.
In /etc/resolv.conf, you need to add the name server entries:
/etc/resolv.conf:
 domain example.com
 nameserver 1.2.3.4
 nameserver 5.6.7.8
Pinging the name servers using their IP addresses doesn't
test the resolver at all.
While that is the most likely cause, it is also possible that
you just bought a domain (or changed its records), and it
can take up to 72 hours for the DNS entries to propagate
throught the net.
Another reason is that you (or your net admin) blocked
ICMP at the firewall level, so you can't expect a reply
to a ping. You can test this easily by pinging, say,
www.altavista.com or another site that replies to pings.
Other reasons are possible too.

RE: Network configuration

2004-07-11 Thread Terrence Koeman
Hi,

Thank you all for the help and time. I finally got it all working with bits
from most emails.

I'll include my configuration here for others in the same situation (any
comments are welcome):

It's now:

--
| SDSL Modem |
|  Bridged   |
--
   |
   --
   | xl1: 217.1.1.155, DHCP |
   |  Freebsd Box   |
   |xl0: UP, no ip  |
   --
   |
   --
   |---| SWITCH |---|
   |   --   |
   |   ||
  --- --- ---
  | C1: 217.1.1.156 | | C2: 217.1.1.157 | | C3: 217.1.1.158 |
  --- --- ---

(Notice the switch of xl1 and xl0, this made it work).

xl1 and xl0 are bridged so that all clients have full internet connectivity.
Additionally the clients share the available bandwidth fairly, with ssh,
telnet, dns and http having a higher priority than other traffic.

Using a private ip on xl0 and adding natd is still possible for use in the
future.

man 4 puc says:

If the PUC_FASTINTR option is used the driver will try to use fast inter-
rupts.  This should lower the interrupt latency and should be used if the
sio(4) driver reports silo overflow errors.  It cannot be used if the
interrupt is shared.

So try a kernel without the PUC_FASTINTR option.  Also ensure you have
sio* devices in /dev for the other four ports.

im going to use 8.12.10 as an examplei think the instructions are
referring to this: when you unpack sendmail-8.x.x  it makes a dir called
sendmail.8.x.x (whatever the version name)

cd into that dir. theres a INSTALL file that pretty much says everthign i

you will also see a dir oddly enough called "sendmail" cd into that
that is where you run the
sh Build

then it wants you to go to the cf/cf dir  todo so do:

NEWBIE: Logging into Cox Cable service

2004-07-11 Thread James A. Coulter
I am running FreeBSD 4.10 and am trying to connect to my Cox ISP via a an
Ethernet nic and cable modem.

I have DHCP for the nic enabled in /etc/rc.conf and can obtain an IP address
from my Windows 98 gateway, but when I connect the nic to the cable modem
and reboot I do not get a response from the cox DHCP server.

The nic shows active in ifconfig, but no IP is assigned to it.

I suspect the Cox DHCP server is expecting a username and password from
dhclient.conf

I googled and the closest answer I found was a short article in the FreeBSD
Diary published in 2000 that gave this as an example dhclient.conf:

interface "de0" {
send host-name "cr123456-a";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers,
domain-name, time-servers;
require domain-name-servers;
}

I tried substituting my own interface and looked up the hostname info cox
provided to my Windows 98 box and swapped the computer names, but no luck.

Is my hunch correct?  When I set up my Windows boxes to connect to Cox with
their CD, it always asked for the main account username and password – so
I’m guessing when the dhcp client sends out its request for an address, the
Cox DHCP server is expecting a username and password.

Can anyone tell me how to send the username and password?

TIA,

Jim C.

Hello,

I have a quick question for you:

I am in the process of setting up ipfw for my server and a small LAN
of two pcs.
The FreeBSD server is used as an internet gateway with a dial up
connection (ppp -auto -alias demand).
My network connection is working fine, however I am getting more and
more junk mail lately.
It looks like some sites are sniffing out my e-mail address, my pc
configs, etc.
Hence, I'd like to setup a firewall.

Re: Rack-Mount Server cases

2004-07-11 Thread Nico Meijer
Hi Eric,
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.
As much as I wonder how "something that looks nice" could be added to 
the wishlist for a rackmount server, here's my two cents.

I've been using Chieftec's 1U cases for a while now. I'm sure there are 
better cases around, but, in comparison to one el cheapo Mapower I laid 
my hands on last year, they're rugged and offer great (exceptional?) 
value for money. I'd buy a Chieftec 2U without blinking.

Also, due to pretty low costs, you could have a spare around.
Also, a good UPS rack mount?
Sorry, can't help you there, other than that I've heard one UPS 
professional mutter that APC's offerings are 'pieces of sh*t'.

HTH and good luck... Nico

No.  /usr/share/dict/words should be a sym-link to web2 in that

the installworld process.

Looks like something went wrong during your cvsup / buildworld /
installworld process. (Which I hope is rather more than that basic
outline -- you should build and install a kernel as well and generally
follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING and the Handbook)

Suggest you check that you haven't run out of disk space anywhere,
that you delete everything under /usr/obj (you will need to use
chflags(1) on some of the contents to remove the immutable bits),
re-cvsup and try again.  Check the compilation output for errors as
you go.

Cheers,

Matthew

Those are not ordinary processes.  Rather they are kernel threads (or
some such description) -- along the same lines as the vmdaemon,
swapper or syncer threads.

In order to get rid of them, you'ld have to compile a custom kernel
with all of the usb support ripped out *and* you'ld have to take steps
to prevent the kernel autoloading a usb.ko kernel module on boot up.

If you have inadvertently loaded a usb kld module -- use kldstat(8) to
see if that is the case -- then you should be able to unload it with
kldunload(8), so long as it's not actually busy doing stuff.

On the whole though, I wouldn't bother too much about those usb kernel
thread things.  They're generally harmless and they don't have any
impact on the rest of the system if there are no USB peripherals in
use.

Cheers,

Matthew

/usr/share/dict/words

2004-07-11 Thread stan
I'm building a couple of new machines this weekend.

Normally I do "install minimum possible", then cvsup and do a make
buildworld / make installworld sequence.

This time as I was building various ports, I was told that
/usr/share/dict/words needed to be installed.

This has always been installed by the make installworld before. Has
something changed about this? (STABLE).

You mean that the program usbd is running. This is a userland program
that detects new USB devices and starts some predefined sequence of
commands when a certain device enters the system. You can turn it off
by adding usbd_enable="NO" to /etc/rc.conf.

There's a difference between 'compiling something into the kernel' and
using a kernel module. usb.ko is a kernel loadable module - a module
that you can load with kldload if you need it. It's not compiled into
the kernel. When you had 'device usb' in your kernel, usb would be
compiled into the kernel and you'd never need to load the kernel
loadable module for it. Now, you've removed usb from your kernel
configuration file, so usb support is not in your kernel. Should you
need it later, you can always load the module.

If the module is not loaded, it doesn't take up any resources (except
for the hard drive space it uses), so it shouldn't bother you.

If you really don't want to compile any modules at all when building
your kernel (for example, to save time when building a kernel), add
NO_MODULES=true to /etc/make.conf.

Re: Flashplasyer plug-in for Opera

2004-07-11 Thread Arjan Van Leeuwen
Hi Paolo,

You don't need the linuxpluginwrapper if you're using linux-opera,
only if you're using FreeBSD Opera. In that last case, it will only
work on FreeBSD 4.x, that's why you received a message that flash
support was unavailable.

linux-opera should work with linux-flashplugin{6,7} out of the box.

That makes sense, will double check it next time I do a reboot. I don't

True there. They only support Bill's software and a Mac just because it 
are the two most used OS'. (You can't say that from Linux because every 
distribution is different and has different paths and such) For example, 
here in the Netherlands we have several ISPs where the service desk 
employees simply have a list in fromt of them with questions, but know 
nothing about computers at all. You can't expect of them to figure out 
how to get your connection up and running with all those Linux 
distributions, or BSD projects. Would be rather a PITA if one has an 
HP-UX, AIX or ALPHA machine serving as an internet gateway, don't you think?

Anyway, my ISP (Demon, for the Dutch folks on the list) is running 
FreeBSD (at least, their webservers. Not really sure about the rest), 
and they don't give support on FreeBSD either. They only support Windows 
and Mac as well. Which makes sense to me though. They have skilled folks 
on their service desk, but still you can't expect of them to know 
various of *NIX flavors.

So it got a little bit long, but at least you have my two cents.

FreeBSD Kernel Recompile, Does not exclude modules

Hey,

 

Reading from the FreeBSD Handbook I have compiled a new kernel that works
fine.

 

In my config file I commented out a few things I don't need eg USB etc.

 

But for some reason when it booted back up into the new kernel, from ps aux
it shows usb is up and running..

 

/boot/kernel shows that usb.ko is there.

 

I don't understand why its included which I commented it out

 

Am I doing something wrong?
