When trying to Autogen a new project, the configure script bails with the
message:
...
./ltconfig: Can't open ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed
I then created an empty ./ltconfig file inside the Project directory.
This fixed the Autogen process, but the build is nevertheless broken.
When I build a wizard generated test project, I get the following message:
../libtool: Can't open ../libtool: No such file or directory
I do believe him that there is no ../libtool. So I tried to change
./ltconfig to contain a line emitting where I have libtool installed, like
so
#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin
and another version
#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin/libtool15
however, to no avail. I also tried symlinking libtool to different 
versions
like libtool13 and libtool15, and also copying a libtool executable to ../
relative to the project directory, nothing works.

Now I am clueless. Has anyone running Anjuta-1.2.2 on FreeBSD?
Might be worth noting that I run xFce, not the complete Gnome package.

Greetings!
I'm the one that posted the original inquiry regarding my libtool problems, 
and I think you're experiencing a different kind of problem. It seems to me 
that your Anjuta does not properly create your project. Why this is, I do not 
know. Did you install Anjuta from ports, or did you download the sources off 
of its website? If the latter is true, it may be that whatever generates the 
scripts (or maybe even the scripts themselves) have hardcoded linuxisms in 
them.

After creating a fresh project (any error messages notwithstanding), what's 
in the project directory? Could you give an ls of it? And where do you place 
your project directories? ~/Projects is the default, if I recall correctly. 
I'm thinking that since the files obviously aren't created it might be a 
permission problem. Just exhausting the possibilities here. :-)

I did find the solution to my initial problem, by the way. I posted a 
follow-up in reply to myself, but I guess you've already read that.

I also have the same problem that you say you found the solution to but i 
dont know how to pass the cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel argument to the 
configure script. I get the error that you mentioned in your script when i 
try to create a project. So at that stage how come there exists a 
configure script? And also you said autogen.sh creates the configure 
script. Isn't that file (autogen.sh) also created only then, when i create 
the project? I dont know much (about anything) about the auto* stuff so 
that's why my questions could be really stupid. I would also want to 
configure everything from the gui if possible to make it as painless as 
possible if you know how.

miibus.ko if_aue.ko crash

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

  I recently installed FreeBSD 4.9 to an old laptop I came by.  It is
a Sharp Mebius PC-PJ1-U23.  Basic hardware information can be found
here http://www.egota.org/MebiusNotePJ.html.  I am using a D-Link
DSB-650TX USB ethernet.  it uses the if_aue.ko driver.
  The generic kernel on the FreeBSD 4.9 install disc works fine.  I
update the source and build and install using the GENERIC kernel conf
file.  When I reboot  the kernel panics and crashes.


module_register: module miibus/ukphy already exists!
linker_file_sysinit "miibus.ko" failed to register! 17


When I unplug the usb and reboot the kernel works fine.  Once it is
fully booted, I plug the usb ethernet back in and I get.


aue0: D-Link Corp. DSB-650TX USB Ethernet, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 2
aue0: Ethernet address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
miibux0:  on aue0
ukphy0:  on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

 
The system doesn't crash but when I  run ifconfig it is obvious
something is wrong


aue0: flags=8802(BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST) mtu 1500
   tunnel inet  -->

   vlan: 0 parent interface: 
   ssid ""
   stationname ""
   channel 0 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF
   wepmode OFF weptxkey 1


Then at this point if I run "dhclient aue0", the system crashes giving
me the same errors as when I boot the system with the usb ethernet
plugged in.

Does anyone know what would be causing this and how I can fix the issue?  

TIA,

Boot process too slow or stops

[Miguel Cardenas]

Hello list !!

I have a strange problem... from time in time at boot time, when it reaches 
this:

Configuring syscons: blanktime screensaver.

the boot process stops for a very (VERY) long time and sometimes gets stalled 
there... I can interrupt the process with Ctrl-C and boot continues but it is 
not a normal way to do things...

Why could this happen and how can I fix it? it does not occur always, but 
frequently...

From: David Kreil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hi,

(1) I was wondering whether anyone knew of packages/tools to aid in 
"sanitizing"
a FreeBSD system, i.e., wiping
  + the swap slice
  + non-allocated space on volumes
  + "file-tails" (the part of the last allocated block of files not used)
with random patterns to avoid leakage of sensitive information (plain text 
keys or decrypted texts).

I am aware of the security limitations of any approach that does not involve 
dissolving the entire disk in acid etc but would be grateful for a pointer to 
a tool that at least
 + generates reasonably random data for its writes
 + ideally does a reasonable effort of turning off caching whereever it could
   (ideally in the file system, the disk driver, and the disk itself)
   or alternatively at least did the overwrites in such an order that the
   effect of caching would be minimized.

If there are no "tools", would you know whether I can get FreeBSD on shutdown 
to stop using swap and access it as a raw disk device that I can write to, and 
how to hook into the shutdown process?

(2) Related to this:

I'm also interested in people's personal experiences in using partition or 
file system encryption options.

For performance reasons I'd rather avoid having /tmp and swap and certain work 
space on an encrypted disk, hence the need for (1).


If you feel that I'm asking this all in the wrong place, please let me know.

With many thanks for your help,

David.

USB sound card causes system lockup

[Chris Beaumont]

Kevin,
If you get an answer to your question, or your problem with your USB 
sound card sorted out, if you could email me I'd appreciate it.. I'd 
like to know what you did..
I have an Onkyo USB audio interface that absolutely sings on my other 
computers and I'd love to get it working on my 5.2.1 (release) system... 
I've been monkeying with it for days..

But it locks up, exactly as you describe..
Thank you,
Chris

Hi,
I am trying to get a Creative Sound Blaster MP3+ USB sound card to

and dmesg shows the device being found:
uaudio_add_selector: NOT IMPLEMENTED

However any time I interact with the sound card, for example starting

locks up hard.  Will not respond to CTRL-ALT-Backspace or -Delete.
Any suggestions?

After you run cvsup, you should run "portsdb -Uu" to update your INDEX
file. Otherwise the contents will very likely be out of date.

mkisofs is now part of sysutils/cdrtools. So if you:

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools
# make install clean

That should install 'mkisofs' for you.

Do you hear people say they feel completly stupid becuase of what the
problem was often?

Well if you don't you do now.

After paying better attention to my startup log a little prase saying no
carrier stuck out this time. I checked my new switch that I bought for my
new setup and it looked fine. But something didn't feel write so I started
at the switch for about 20 seconds when I relized my switch shares the
uplink port with port 5 and that happens to be the port I plugged the
FreeBSD system into. So I moved the cable to a different port and viola.

Thanks as always for everyones advice. I learn something new every time I
talk to you guys. netstat -rn is pretty cool. Now I will just need to read
the man page to figure out what those flags mean.

"No route to host" makes me think that it's a routing problem.  Does:

netstat -rn | grep default

show your ISP's gateway?  If not, try adding it by hand as root:

route add default [IP address of gateway]

Try it again, and see if you still get "No route to host".  Also, are
you trying to ping these servers by IP address or FQDN?  If by FQDN, try
by IP address and see if the result is any different.

I am now blessing your keyboard...

unable to ping my ISP's Servers.

[Joshua Lewis]

Hello everyone,

I am able to ping my loopback as well as my static IP address. but I am
not able to ping any other system on the net, my ISP's DNS server nor the
ISP's Default Gateway. I am able to ping my system by FQDN and just the
host name from the FreeBSD box.

Ping error for the DNS server ping is:
ping: sendto: No route to host

Ping to the ISP Default Gateway
ping: sendto: Host is down

However I am able to ping the above addresses (Including my FreeBSD
server) from my XP box.

Network setup.

FreeBSD (Static Public IP) -> Linksys 5 port switch -> Switch -> DSL Modem

XP box -> Linksys Router (Different Static public IP)-> Linksys 5 port
switch. -> DSL Modem (All is working fine from here)

This IP was purchased several months ago so it should be setup. Perhaps
there is something wrong on their side. Is there a way I can prove it?
Below is the information I have collected.


I have listed in my rc.conf my ISP's Default Gateway, my IP, my subnet.

My /etc/resolv.conf shows
domaindomain (there is no hostname on this line)
nameserver127.0.0.1
nameserver (ISP DNS SERVER)
nameserver(ISP SECONDARY DNS SERVER)

I have checked the spelling and confirmed the IP's in the resolv.conf are
correct.

I didn't set it up but my /etc/hosts file has my loopback and FQDN listed
twice. I have no idea why
::1localhost.domainlocalhost
127.0.0.1localhost.domainlocalhost
MY IPFQDNhostname (there is no "." at the end of this FQDN I don't
know if that matters)
MY IPFQDN.(there is a "." at the end of this FQDN and no hostname
listed)


And that is all I know how to do so far. It looks right to me. Perhaps
someone can see what I missed or did wrong.

Sorry for covering up some of the info. I don't know who is out there.

Do you think my DNS server is not really working and the system is simply
looking up my addresses in my hosts file?

Any help is welcome.

I just tried to ping the External IP of the Linksys Router and was
successfully. This is leading me to think it is something on my ISP. Does
that sound right to anyone else?


Thank you,
Joshua

while high performance is always cool, stable performance is even more 
important under load. I mean if i do 5 things it shouldn't slow down 100 
times.

in NetBSD especially if you start large file copying whole system slows 
down terribly. not true with FreeBSD.

softdeps in NetBSD is very buggy. putting very high load like deleting 
huge tree or unpacking it easily triggers DDB with ffs_something panic :(

my questions:
1) what is Buf and Cache in top exactly? why buf on 96MB machine gets to 
near 20MB and never goes down? it's almost 1/4 of memory size.
Cache: number of pages used for VM-level disk caching
Buf:   number of pages used for BIO-level disk caching
can you explain more? (or redirect me to URL about it)
is all things double-buffered?!! it would be lots of memory traffic.
BTW is mfs usable and stable in FreeBSD? and does it make real sense?
in NetBSD mfs is terribly unstable. especially large mfs disks easily 
crash things.


2) can i compile kernel with -march=pentium,pentium[234] -O2 optimization?
in NetBSD 2.0 doing -march=pentium produces kernel that doesn't boot at 
all, just resets.
If you want to tune your system, tweaking the options from GENERIC by 
removing at least:

cpu I386_CPU
cpu I486_CPU
did this.
...will probably result in the greatest improvement, along with disabling 
WITNESS and such if using -CURRENT.  See "man tuning".
oh - i never did it...
Using -march=pentium is likely to be worthwhile (assuming you don't have a
with heavy CPU-bound userland binaries i measured 10-25% gain.

386 :-), higher than that may run into problems.  Higher optimizations than 
-O are not supported, although work is underway to fix the remaining code 
issues (mainly in libalias used by NAT), as I understand.

If you want to try -O2, give it a shot, but you might consider using either 
"-Os" rather than "-O2", or try "-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing".

why -Os? it makes slower but smaller code?
will lower memory traffic/better cache hitting give more gain than it's 
lost because of slower code.


3) how can i disable compiling, using etc.. all that LKM (KLD) stuff?
i really prefer one static kernel.
Read the handbook on building the kernel.
what i missed?
i already built a kernel, found how to disable modules but all kld stuff 
is still compiled in!

yes i can just do rm *.ko but removing kld from kernel would be even 
nicer.


4) is IPv6 working well? (i mean no crashes etc...) i will get real IPv6 
zone allocation soon and want to use it.
IPv6 seems to work well, yes.
5) what is used in FreeBSD for traffic management. NetBSD has altq - 
please just give me a name i will RTFM.
If you want to use that, ipf/altq should be available in -CURRENT. 
Otherwise, ipfw & dummynet is another choice.

6) how to turn using serial port as console on i386? my home machine is 
headless, i'm using X terminals to access it.
See the handbook.
7) does FreeBSD support 2 CPUs on i386?
Sure.  See the SMP section of the kernel config file.
should i go to 4.10 or better 5.2.1? stability is really important to me.
4.10, unless there's a feature from -CURRENT that you don't want to live 
without.
i don't think it is unless 4.10 has:
1) multiCPU
2) traffic shaping
3) nat
4) firewalling
5) IPv6
6) tun device
i don't think i need anything more

this can be achieved by a simple 'make clean'   ;)

so, try 'make clean; make install clean'  this will clear out any cruft
from a previous build, it will build anew, then install, and finally
tidy-up after the install.

i know next to nothing about disk geometries, but i have defintely seen
some linux HOWTOs which cover multiple booting (windows, linux, bsd).  i
would have another google, if i were you.  try using keywords like
'freebsd' 'linux' 'windows' 'dual-boot' and 'triple-boot'.

also, try visiting tldp.org for that HOWTO.

and see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/

and maybe http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/

perhaps another reader will have more info or a better link to provide.  at
any rate, good luck.

Install the relevant linux_devtools port, which includes a linux
version of the gcc toolchain.  You can chroot to /compat/linux to make
sure the compiler or other utilities don't get confused by picking up
native FreeBSD files instead of the linux ones.

You can use dummynet with ipfw. Altq is being integrated in the -CURRENT

the following appears in /etc/make.conf:
"CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code. Note
that optimization settings above -O (-O2, ...) are not recommended or
supported for compiling the world or the kernel"

i'm working with 4.10 and have the following line in my /etc/make.conf
CPUTYPE=i686

are either of these were what you were looking for?

i would recommend 4.10.  though the 5.x series is solid, it is undergoing
heavy development.  5.x won't be releasing a 'stable' version until
sometime later this year.

There are many klds that are capable of being statically compiled.  I
can't say for certain that all of them are, but the one or two I've
needed are statically compiled.

Don't know off hand, I haven't had to do much of this yet.  Everything I

For a headless system, create the file /boot.config and add the
following characters to it: -Dh

Then, in /etc/ttys, edit the line(s) for your appropriate serial
consoles.  Mine looks like this:
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure

If I were you, I would use 4.10.  Keep in mind, though, that the upgrade
process from 4.x to 5.x is a complete reinstall, for the most part.  I
guess there are some people that have been able to do it, but never I or
anyone I know here.  I've used 5.2.1 on my home machines, but they're
just a little too buggy for my liking.  ACPI can cause problems, and
seems to be the biggest source of bugs.  On the other hand, if you need
power management, I've never been able to get APM working in 4.x.

I hope this helps to answer some of those questions.

Yes.  You might have to rebuild everything after setting NO_SENDMAIL in
your /etc/make.conf file.

Afterwards, you can install whichever version you want.

Then update your /etc/mail/mailer.conf file to point to the new Sendmail
you've installed.

These are part of the kernel VM system -- most of that space is used
for buffering IO to disk drives or other devices.  There are various
VM related sysctls you can use to tune things, but unless you've got a
pretty exceptional system just going with the defaults will probably
give you the best results.

You can certainly compile with a different CPUTYPE setting in
/etc/make.conf -- works very well.

However under 4.x and any of the releases from 5.x to date you
shouldn't use any more that -O optimization.  There's a push on to
make world+kernel compile correctly using -O2 before 5.3-STABLE, but
that's not been completed yet.

Generally what happens is that a driver is either built into a kernel
image, or it's built as a loadable module.  Writing your own kernel
configuration to include the drivers for all of your hardware isn't
too difficult.  You can prevent any LKMs being build by setting:

NO_MODULES=true

in /etc/make.conf

Works for me.  But FreeBSD uses the same Kame IPv6 stack as NetBSD --

Simple.  It's pretty easy to install the system that way too:

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

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

> 7) does FreeBSD support 2 CPUs on i386?

Yes.  You will have to compile a custom kernel to get SMP support
under 4.x (you can always boot a UP kernel on a MP machine).  For 5.x,
it should all just work with the GENERIC kernel.

Cheers,

Matthew

It's nice to be welcomed by higher performance when you switch OSes.  :-)
my questions:
1) what is Buf and Cache in top exactly? why buf on 96MB machine gets to 
near 20MB and never goes down? it's almost 1/4 of memory size.
Cache: number of pages used for VM-level disk caching
Buf:   number of pages used for BIO-level disk caching
2) can i compile kernel with -march=pentium,pentium[234] -O2 optimization?
in NetBSD 2.0 doing -march=pentium produces kernel that doesn't boot at 
all, just resets.
If you want to tune your system, tweaking the options from GENERIC by removing 
at least:

cpu I386_CPU
cpu I486_CPU
...will probably result in the greatest improvement, along with disabling 
WITNESS and such if using -CURRENT.  See "man tuning".

Using -march=pentium is likely to be worthwhile (assuming you don't have a 386 
:-), higher than that may run into problems.  Higher optimizations than -O are 
not supported, although work is underway to fix the remaining code issues 
(mainly in libalias used by NAT), as I understand.

If you want to try -O2, give it a shot, but you might consider using either 
"-Os" rather than "-O2", or try "-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing".

3) how can i disable compiling, using etc.. all that LKM (KLD) stuff?
i really prefer one static kernel.
Read the handbook on building the kernel.
4) is IPv6 working well? (i mean no crashes etc...) i will get real IPv6 
zone allocation soon and want to use it.
IPv6 seems to work well, yes.
5) what is used in FreeBSD for traffic management. NetBSD has altq - 
please just give me a name i will RTFM.
If you want to use that, ipf/altq should be available in -CURRENT.  Otherwise, 
ipfw & dummynet is another choice.

6) how to turn using serial port as console on i386? my home machine is 
headless, i'm using X terminals to access it.
See the handbook.
7) does FreeBSD support 2 CPUs on i386?
Sure.  See the SMP section of the kernel config file.

4.10, unless there's a feature from -CURRENT that you don't want to live without.

(1) because this doesn't build 1.2.2, it starts building "1.0.2" when I type

(2) pkg_add -r anjuta *does* fetch 1.2.2, and this is what I actually did.
All problems listed in the previous post occured after properly installing
Anjuta via pkg_add.

The package seems to miss a dependency, since I had to manually install
libtools. Without it, Anjuta would just say "you need to have libtools

Newbie: Drive geometry in freebsd 4.10

[Geoffrey Lane]

I'm trying to tri-boot windows, gentoo and freebsd 4.10 cause I don't 
have an extra HD but had an extra slice to install.
the hd is a maxtor 40gb IDE, model# 4d040h2, labeled on it says:  cyl 
16383 / head 16 / sectors 63 / LBA 80043264
when I throw the first install cd in it says the drive geometry is 
(4982/16/63 80035830). I booted into gentoo and used
"hdparm -g /dev/hda" which gave me 65535/16/63 = 80043264
and to be quite honest I've looked but cannot find out where to locate 
the BIOSs geometry but partition magic SEEMS
to indicated physcial geometry of 4982/255/63.
I tried to find information in the handbook about it but couldn't and a 
google for this is overwelming for a newbie
and nothing specifically I can see about my drive geometry...

/dev/ad0s1 -->  WinXP
/dev/ad0s2 -->  Gentoo2004.1
/dev/ad0s3 -->  ** FREEBSD **
/dev/ad0s4 -->  EXTENDED
/dev/ad0s5 -->  FAT32 partition for downloading to on all OSs
/dev/ad0s6 -->  Linux SWAP
I'm not sure which drive geometry I should be using, I've heard of 
issues installing freebsd causes problems with the geometry
and using other os/utils (ghost/partition magic) afterwards. I do not 
want to lose anything on the drive!
If I need the BIOSs geometry, I would appreciate a suggestion of a tool 
to find this out or can I trust the hdparm/partitionmagic?

I would appreciate the help,
Geoff

Re: problem while installing FreeBSD

> I thought FreeBSD may take care of this file system or it may allow me to do

Oh.  Did you use something to resize the disk slices before you started
the install?FreeBSD will only install [correctly] into empty space
on the disk or wipe out everything and install over the top of the
whole thing.It will not resize the NTFS slice for you.

If you want to install FreeBSD on the machine as a dual-boot system
and keep the preinstalled Win2k stuff running, then you need to
shrink the NTFS down to make room for FreeBSD.

A disk can have up to 4 primary slices (which MS calls 'partitions', by
the way) that are numbered 1..4.   Generally if you buy a machine and 
it has something MS preinstalled on it, that MS stuff takes all of the 
disk and makes it one slice, leaving 3 logically to work with, but no
room for them.   

If the system was from some vendor like Dell, they might have also put a 
slice with their own diagnostics on the machine, thus using two slices 
and leaving only 2 slices that can be created.  The diagnostic slice 
usually is very small and MS takes the rest of the disk. 

Now, if you want to add FreeBSD and still keep the MS (and possibly the
diagnostic) slice[s] you need to shrink the MS slice to make room to
create another slice, using one of the remaining slice numbers. (The
diagnostic slice would be to small to bother with and should just be
left alone)

If you need to shrink the NTFS slice, then you need something like
Partition Magic which is put out by Power Quest to do that before
you start with the FreeBSD installation.   If it was a FAT or FAT32
slice, there are some free utilities that can be used, but the last
I knew, they would not safely handle NTFS.   Partition Magic seems
to be the most readily available one that can handle shrinking NTFS.
It is not free, but is pretty cheap.  You can usually find it at
such places as Best Buy and Circuit City in the USA and by some 
online stores.  The price was about $69 US.

When you get it, 
 - take the CD and make the two floppies according to
   the instructions.  Forget trying to use it by installing it.
 - Then boot from the floppies.
 - Look around until you are familiar and clear what you already 
   have on disk.
 - Shrink the NTFS slice from the top - eg don't try to make room
   before it, make it at the end of the NTFS slice.
 - Have Partition Magic complete its pending operations - just quit
   and say yes to its questions about completing them.
 - Boot up again from the floppies.
 - Create a new primary slice out of the new empty space and make
   it an unspecified (unknown) type (or maybe FAT32 might also be OK).
   but don't make it any kind of extended slice or other MS sort of
   thing.
 - Again make it complete pending operations.
 - At this time you should be able to install FreeBSD in the newly 
   created slice.   When you do, make sure that is what you select
   and not the 'use the whole disk' option.   It will be slice 2 if
   there is only MS already on the disk and slice 3 if there is both
   a diagnostic slice and an MS slice.   If you also have Linux or
   something else there as well, it might be slice 4.   If there are
   already 4 slices being used on the disk, you can't do it without
   getting rid of something first.
 - During the part in the FreeBSD install where you choose the slice
   and create it, first you should might want to tell it to delete
   the new slice and then create it again - it will use only the empty 
   space.   You shouldn't have to do this I don't think, but I have 
   had trouble in the past if I just tried to accept the slice as it
   was created by Partition Magic without having FreeBSD do it too.
   Then, make sure you tell it to make the slice bootable by selecting
   that slice and choosing that option.

After all this, then you go on to make UNIX partitions within that
slice with the disklabel editor - using the one built in to the
sysinstall, preferably.

NOTE, that both MS and Partion Magic refer to the slices as partitions.
Just remember that Partition Magic works on slices in FreeBSD parlance.
In FreeBSD, partitions are subdivisions of slices.   That can get a 
little confusing.

Unfortunately in FreeBSD (at least in 4.xx) there are still a few places 
where the word partition is used when it means slice too.  Most of the
documentation, and especially the man pages have been cleaned up in 5.xx
but I noticed a place or two in the messages used during the disk building
that still use the terms incorrectly.

Now, all this long harrangue may be moot if you do not want to keep the
MS system available on the disk as a dual boot.In that case, you
just choose 'Use the whole disk for one big FreeBSD slice' option and
let it wipe out everything that is already there.  Or, use Par

FreeBSD beginner (NetBSD advanced)

[Wojciech Puchar]

i want to go to FreeBSD instead of NetBSD on my i386 machines because of 
all "new features" :( introduced in NetBSD after 1.5 mostly crashing
softdeps, strange memory/unified disk cache management (large writing to 
file almost freezes everything) etc. etc.

i installed FreeBSD once to do quick performance tests, and at least in 
disk I/O and fair scheduling it's MUCH better (tested 4.10 and 5.1).

my questions:
1) what is Buf and Cache in top exactly? why buf on 96MB machine gets to 
near 20MB and never goes down? it's almost 1/4 of memory size.

2) can i compile kernel with -march=pentium,pentium[234] -O2 optimization?
in NetBSD 2.0 doing -march=pentium produces kernel that doesn't boot at 
all, just resets.

3) how can i disable compiling, using etc.. all that LKM (KLD) stuff?
i really prefer one static kernel.
4) is IPv6 working well? (i mean no crashes etc...) i will get real IPv6 
zone allocation soon and want to use it.

5) what is used in FreeBSD for traffic management. NetBSD has altq - 
please just give me a name i will RTFM.

6) how to turn using serial port as console on i386? my home machine is 
headless, i'm using X terminals to access it.

7) does FreeBSD support 2 CPUs on i386?
sorry if too much questions at once, i would like to move my home machine 
to FreeBSD tomorrow, test it at real for a month and then (if it will be 
better than NetBSD for my needs) replace other machines.

should i go to 4.10 or better 5.2.1? stability is really important to me.

If you've got the sources, you can recompile reasonably portable Linux

the Linux emulator, documented at:

Thanks for your answer.  I'm glad you clarified that, 'cause I
was confused.  :)

I'm pretty sure I understand subnet masks.  The information I
was looking for was how my machine determines which MAC address
to put on the ethernet packet when sending to a machine off
my network.  First it has to know the machine is off my network,
and the network address (as determined by the IP address ANDed
with the subnet mask) is the only way I can figure that would
tell my computer that.  In fact, if I understand correctly,
that is the raison d'etre of subnet masks.  But nothing I read
about subnet masks comes out and says that directly.

Anyway, I'll keep looking.  Someone recommended a networking
book on another thread that is probably worth investing in
since I am apparently so interested in these mechanics.  :)

Did you do a make install (not make install clean) in linux-sun-jdk14 ? 
If so, do a make deinstall in ports/java/jdk14/ and remove 
ports/java/jdk14/work and its contents, then make install clean in that

It sounds to me like you don't have the little digital cable
connecting from your CD-ROM to your sound card.  The equivalent
task may work in Windows if they read the music through the
IDE interface and pipe it through the sound card instead of
channeling it through that "back-channel" communications
channel.  I'm not up on the lingo but that's the first thing
I'd check.

RE: problem while installing FreeBSD

[Bawan]

It's the same problem when I remove CD. Does it make sense: I am installing
on the machine which already have Windows 2003 server, and file system NTFS.
I thought FreeBSD may take care of this file system or it may allow me to do
partition while installing. Thanks.

It sounds like you still have the CD in the drive...Did you follow the
instruction to "Remove any removable media from the drive.." before you
rebooted the machine?

Remove the CD (if it is in the CD drive) and boot from the hard disk
instead.

Remote services missing from /usr/libexec

[Girish L]

Hi

Since I am new to freeBSD I may be missing the basics.
 Thanks for all the help I am getting here.

 I somehow had the linux compatibility issue resolved.
( that was my previous posting), Thanks for the help.
All I did was add the linux_enable="YES" in rc.conf

when i checked with kldstat command the line with 
linux.ko appears.

Now, I have a problem with remote services
My /usr/libexec/ directory does not have the daemons for rsh, rexec
(rshd, rexecd)
I had this earlier and it used to work fine when I try a remote login
(through rexec from a dos prompt),
but all of a sudden its not there. (my sshd and telnetd are still in
place and I can ssh to this machine)

Now the error says, cannot execute /usr/libexec/rexecd
(I checked /usr/local/rexed as well... not here too..) 

Any idea as to what went wrong, and how can I get these processes back
or how do I install them (if needed) as services on my FreeBSD
(version 5.2-CURRENT)

Thanks again for the help

For porting the nvidia driver, you most likely can't, because nVidia has a

One-Way Cable Modem and Firewall/Router?

[Jud]

After years of dialup-only service, I have moved to a new location and
gotten broadband access.  Only 'one-way' broadband access is available,
through an SB3100 Motorola/General Instrument cable modem that
communicates upstream via dialup, downstream via cable.

I was thinking I ought to set up a hardware firewall, and am considering
the Netgear WGT624 router (Atheros chipset) for this purpose.  I would
only be hooking up a single desktop computer, and wouldn't be needing
wireless connection just yet (though the router's capability in this
regard will be nice for future home networking).

Does anyone know of any problems (or tips) specifically concerning use
of a router/firewall with a one-way cable modem?

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-June/049088.html
When trying to Autogen a new project, the configure script bails with the
message:
...
./ltconfig: Can't open ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed
I then created an empty ./ltconfig file inside the Project directory.
This fixed the Autogen process, but the build is nevertheless broken.
When I build a wizard generated test project, I get the following message:
../libtool: Can't open ../libtool: No such file or directory
I do believe him that there is no ../libtool. So I tried to change
./ltconfig to contain a line emitting where I have libtool installed, like
so
#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin
and another version
#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/local/bin/libtool15
however, to no avail. I also tried symlinking libtool to different versions
like libtool13 and libtool15, and also copying a libtool executable to ../
relative to the project directory, nothing works.
Now I am clueless. Has anyone running Anjuta-1.2.2 on FreeBSD?
Might be worth noting that I run xFce, not the complete Gnome package.

Greetings!
I'm the one that posted the original inquiry regarding my libtool 
problems, and I think you're experiencing a different kind of problem. 
It seems to me that your Anjuta does not properly create your project. 
Why this is, I do not know. Did you install Anjuta from ports, or did 
you download the sources off of its website? If the latter is true, it 
may be that whatever generates the scripts (or maybe even the scripts 
themselves) have hardcoded linuxisms in them.

After creating a fresh project (any error messages notwithstanding), 
what's in the project directory? Could you give an ls of it? And where 
do you place your project directories? ~/Projects is the default, if I 
recall correctly. I'm thinking that since the files obviously aren't 
created it might be a permission problem. Just exhausting the 
possibilities here. :-)

I did find the solution to my initial problem, by the way. I posted a 
follow-up in reply to myself, but I guess you've already read that.

When replying to a post, please ensure you Cc: the list, so that everyone
following the thread knows what is happening. It is also beneficial to
knew users who 'lurk' but haven't yet posted that may be having similar
issues.

Now, back to the subject...

If you've already installed FBSD, sysinstall should not come back up by
default. The machine should boot, then you should be dropped right at the
command prompt.

If I understand correctly, the last message you see is 'Rebooting...'? If
this is so, what happens after a cold boot? Post the messages where it
gets stuck.

Also, this may be a good time to post your hardware (mobo, NIC, and
additional info).

That's a bit confused.  5.2-RELEASE (ie. the collection of iso images
and other installer bits and pieces on the FreeBSD ftp servers) has
certainly been superceded by 5.2.1-RELEASE.  Most FreeBSD mirrors will
only carry a couple of recent releases due to space constraints so
5.2-RELEASE has mostly disappeared, but there are some places that
archive older releases -- see
   http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php
However the CVS tags you refer to don't work in that way.  First of
all, there isn't a RELENG_5_2_1 tag.  There is a RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE
tag which marks the state of the sources used to generate
5.2.1-RELEASE.  Similarly there's a RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE tag that does
the same for 5.2-RELEASE.
There is also a RELENG_5_2 *branch*.  The distinction between a branch
and a tag is important.  Checking out sources using a tag will get you
a snapshot of those sources at a particular point in time.  You get
the same set of sources each time you check out against that tag[1].
Checking out sources using a branch will get you the latest
development version from that branch, so the checkouts will vary over
time.
Both 5.2-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE were generated from the RELENG_5_2
branch, which is a security branch that currently gets you
5.2.1-RELEASE-p9.  In effect, 5.2.1-RELEASE is just another patchset
against the RELENG_5_2 branch, except on a rather larger scale and
fixing more significant problems than most patches.
Cheers,
Matthew
[1] In principal.  In practice a tag can be 'slid' to account for last
minute changes, but that's unusual and only tends to happen quite soon
after the tag is laid down.
 

Thanks for the clarification! CVS as a concept is much like women - just 
when I think I've got it figured out, I am proven otherwise. Oh, well. ;-)

Well then, find the russian text once more and post the link here.

You'd be amazed of how many russian-speaking people are subscribed. I'm
one of them.

Have a nice,

Afterstep, 5.2.1 problem

[Free Heeler]

The various 'feels' available with Afterstep don't
seem to be functioning properly, or at least as they
did on 4.9 or 4.7.   One problem I'm seeing across all
the 'feels' is the inability to click on the bar
across the top to navigate to a program.  Anyone else
seeing this problem?  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

When replying to a post, please ensure you Cc: the list, so that everyone
following the thread knows what is happening. It is also beneficial to
knew users who 'lurk' but haven't yet posted that may be having similar
issues.

Now, back to the subject...

If you've already installed FBSD, sysinstall should not come back up by
default. The machine should boot, then you should be dropped right at the
command prompt.

If I understand correctly, the last message you see is 'Rebooting...'? If
this is so, what happens after a cold boot? Post the messages where it
gets stuck.

Also, this may be a good time to post your hardware (mobo, NIC, and
additional info).

Regards,

Steve

I've seen this error on a few systems I've installed FreeBSD on, and
usually managed to get around it by fiddling with DMA options in the BIOS.
Which option I had to change varied between boxes, but look for anything
that mentions DMA (UltraDMA, DMA Mode, whatever) or PIO, and start
methodically tweaking them one at a time.

Re: 100Mbit/s LAN slow, TX only ~3MB/s (esp. file transfer) -- why?

[User LAFFER1]

THe realtek driver in freebsd is very poor.  I have a Dlink DFE 530+ with 
a realtek chipset and the machine would actually reboot once a week (small 
mail server) and had unusual statements in the log about oversized 
frames.  I replaced it with a 3com 3c905c and it works great now.  (even 
though the 3com driver is supposed to be poor as well with no tx/rx 
offload support that works right)

On the flip slide, I recently bought a new system and copied over data 
from my windows xp and freebsd installs to the respective new installs on 
the new system.  The windows installs did around 4Mb/s and the freebsd 
installs appeared to do 5-7Mb/s.  In freebsd i used ftp and in windows i 
used the standard CIFS/SMB stuff.  The old system has a 3c905b and the new 
system has a 10/100/1000 intel chipset.  I have them connected to a 4port 
broadband switch router (SMC).

Another words, your performance is a tad bit slow, but you are using 
realtek cards. They are not known to be the best.  The intel card has slow 
negotiation issues in freebsd and windows and fixed settings for 100 fd 
result in packet loss even though auto negotiation uses the same settings. 
Sometimes I wonder if any nics work right. :)

I tend to like the 3com cards just because they are consistent at least.
On Wed, 14 Jul 2004, Andreas Ntaflos wrote:
Hello list,
here's the situation: a small LAN with two FreeBSD machines (one
4.10-STABLE, one 5.1-RELEASE-p11), one Gentoo box, one Windows 2000
Laptop. All the machines have 100Mbit/s capable network interfaces,
configured for full duplex and auto-negotiation, and actually running
in 100baseTX-FD mode (5.1 uses rl0, 4.10 dc0, Gentoo and Windows are
also equipped with RealTek RTL8139 NICs).
They are all connected through CAT5 UTP cables and a 5 port 100Mbit/s
switch. All machines except the FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE box are quite
capable (800MHz--1GHz, 128MB--640MB RAM, (U)DMA mode harddisks, etc).
The 5.1 box is an old 200MHz Pentium-MMX, 64MB RAM, slow disks.
Here's the problem: Using FTP to transfer a 600MB file (ISO image) from
one FreeBSD machine to the other runs only as fast as 3MB/s (maximum).
Transferring the same file from the Gentoo box to one of the FreeBSD
machines runs equally slow. Transferring the file from the Gentoo box to
the Windows 2000 laptop however runs fine with about 10MB/s.
Transferring from FreeBSD to Windows 2000 is slow again (2--5MB/s).
Using SCP gives me a maximum of 1MB/s tranfer rate, on all possible
connections and client pairs. I suppose this could be SCPs fault since
it needs a fast CPU to encrypt and decrypt the data, but 800MHz and 1GHz
ought to be enough so that this shouldn't be a bottleneck, hm?
I've also tried connecting the machines directly via a crossover cable,
to no avail. 4.10 <--> 5.1 is still 3MB/s, Gentoo <--> Windows 2000 runs
even faster, and Gentoo <--> FreeBSD is also about 2MB/s.
I remember that about a year ago with the same setup (except for the 5.1
box, which I didn't have back then) FTP speed was most excellent,
transferring a 1GB file took about 3 minutes. Now it seems to take
forever to copy just 50MB.
So why could this be? I am mostly interested in the two FreeBSD
machines, why would that be such a slow connection? Because the 5.1 box
is quite old? Could the RealTek card have a problem? The switch is
almost certainly not faulty. Also why would a transfer between the 4.10
box and the Gentoo machine take so long? As I mentioned, a year ago I
was enjoying TX rates of almost 11MB/s between the two of them.
I believe at least part of the problem lies with the FreeBSD machines,
so I am asking for ideas on what this issue could be, how to
investigate further to track down the possible sources of the problem
and how to solve it.
Sorry for this lengthy post, I tried to give as much information as
possible and make clear that I have already invested a good amount of
time and effort to debug and solve this myself, but I am running out
of ideas. I also posted on two other boards but nobody could suggest
anything actually useful.
I refuse to believe that this is the expected mode of operation for FTP
(and even SCP) :-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Where exactly is it hung? What is the last few lines of output that is

Do you have any extra peripherals plugged in (ie. scanner, camera, CF

Linux Oracle 8.1.7.4 on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9

[Daniel Bye]

Hi all, 

Anyone out there had any luck getting the Linux version of Oracle
8.1.7.4 running on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9?  I have found a few docs on
the 'Net that talk about installing earlier versions, and one originally
in Russian that talks specifically about 8.1.7.4, but the only
translation of it I can get is machine-generated, and therefore misses
many points Russian usage, and leads to a, on the whole, brain-twisting
read...

If anyone has any hints, tips, tricks, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for your time, and sorry for the vagueness of the question.

No.  A driver is too low level to be ported by merely recompiling it.
There are many applications on Linux that can be merely recompiled 
under FreeBSD and maybe tweaked a bit and then just run.   But, you 
would have to do some porting work to make a driver from Linux work in 
FreeBSD.   But, if you can handle doing the porting, be encouraged to 
do it and then submit it to FreeBSd.   That is how many of them get in.

[Kenneth Culver]

Quoting Ahmad Zulkarnain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi guys!
I'm a newbie runnin FreeBSD 5.2.1 on Clevo M22ES laptop. Sorry if my
question has been asked before. I have a built-in SmartLink modem (SiS
chipset) and I grabbed myself the official linux driver from their
website. Can I just compile the driver in FreeBSD? I'll be glad if
someone can point a howto sites fer it.
Thanks in advance.

What you want to do can't be done. The best you can do really is port the
driver. The kernel internals/driver apis are totally different between linux
and FreeBSD.

problems getting ssh X11 fowarding

[stan]

I've got 2 relativly recent STABLE machines which were originally but WP
any X functionailty at all. Now I;m starting to use gkrellm to monitor most
of my mahcines with the DISPLAy's all set to a workstation in my office.

I sucesfully compiled gkrellm from the ports on these machines, but I'm
having trouble getting ssh to do X11 fowarding back to my office machine
for these 2 machines. I checked the /etc/sshd_cinfig file, and it is the
same as on working machines. I killed the sshd and restarted it, but whn I
ssh to these 2 boxes DISPLAY does not get set.

Anyone have any ideas?

NOTE: Intel Ethernet card not being detected

[Richard P. Williamson]

This is just a final note about this problem.  I won't say it is
"solved" but at least we have a workaround.

This is from 4.10 release, src/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c, lines 509 et ff.
with the 'offending' code ifdef'd out by me:

/*
 * Determine whether we must use the 503 serial interface.
 */
fxp_read_eeprom(sc, &data, 6, 1);
#ifndef BYPASS_503_SERIAL_CHECK
if ((data & FXP_PHY_DEVICE_MASK) != 0 &&
(data & FXP_PHY_SERIAL_ONLY))
sc->flags |= FXP_FLAG_SERIAL_MEDIA;
#else
sc->flags &= ~FXP_FLAG_SERIAL_MEDIA;
#endif

/*
 * Create the sysctl tree
 */

When compiled and ran on an adlink motherboard (EBC-2000),
it now correctly IDs and configures the three fxp devices
on the motherboard:

fxp0:  port 0xd400-0xd43f mem 
0xe720-0xe72f,0xe7302000-0xe7302fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:86:ff
inphy0:  on miibus0
inphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
fxp1:  port 0xd800-0xd83f mem 
0xe700-0xe70f,0xe7301000-0xe7301fff irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci0
fxp1: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:94:00
inphy1:  on miibus1
inphy1:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
fxp2:  port 0xdc00-0xdc3f mem 
0xe710-0xe71f,0xe730-0xe7300fff irq 12 at device 10.0 on pci0
fxp2: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:94:01
inphy2:  on miibus2
inphy2:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

and I can 'ifconfig fxpN media xyz' between the supported
media types. 

Once this project is shipped, I'll try and track down the
problem's root cause.  This might still be a hardware issue
(the eeprom is being read wrong, or is not reporting capabilities
correctly, or ???).  

Thanks to Simon Barner and others for helping out with the 
OP.

I think you've got the wrong address.  This is the FreeBSD questions mailing

Sounds like you're routing isn't right.  What does 'netstat -rn' show you?
Is that information correct?  Do you have a 'defaultrouter="??"' line in
/etc/rc.conf?

Change the XP box's IP to the new one and try it out.  If it doesn't work
on either box, you can feel pretty confident that it's not your fault.

Do you have IP addys or hostnames in resolv.conf?  IPs are more reliable.

If you're on the Internet, the crooks already have your IP address.
Obscuring that information in this message just makes it harder for folks
to help.

No, if you weren't resolving hostnames, you'd get different errors from
ping.

Router?  What router?  You don't mention a router anywhere else.

It's definately a possibility.

That's a bit confused.  5.2-RELEASE (ie. the collection of iso images
and other installer bits and pieces on the FreeBSD ftp servers) has
certainly been superceded by 5.2.1-RELEASE.  Most FreeBSD mirrors will
only carry a couple of recent releases due to space constraints so
5.2-RELEASE has mostly disappeared, but there are some places that
archive older releases -- see

http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php

However the CVS tags you refer to don't work in that way.  First of
all, there isn't a RELENG_5_2_1 tag.  There is a RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE
tag which marks the state of the sources used to generate
5.2.1-RELEASE.  Similarly there's a RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE tag that does
the same for 5.2-RELEASE.

There is also a RELENG_5_2 *branch*.  The distinction between a branch
and a tag is important.  Checking out sources using a tag will get you
a snapshot of those sources at a particular point in time.  You get
the same set of sources each time you check out against that tag[1].
Checking out sources using a branch will get you the latest
development version from that branch, so the checkouts will vary over
time.

Both 5.2-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE were generated from the RELENG_5_2
branch, which is a security branch that currently gets you
5.2.1-RELEASE-p9.  In effect, 5.2.1-RELEASE is just another patchset
against the RELENG_5_2 branch, except on a rather larger scale and
fixing more significant problems than most patches.

Cheers,

Matthew

www.freebsd.org is a more canonical source of information than some

Re: Quad ethernet: Adaptec or Znyx?

I use the Adaptec cards extensively.  I have 2 home-made routers with
3 cards in each of them, as well as a firewall with one quad port card
and 2 DLink 530TX cards.  I haven't had any problems with them at all.
 The much older Cogent cards (before Adaptec bought them)  seamed to
always have one port go bad eventually, but I haven't seen that in a
long time.

Hi FreeBSD folk. 
I am reading this install guide. And it doesn't get me past this one.
For one. I downloaded the AMD64 ISO's. And this loader say's freeBSD/i386. Anyway. 
I boot to the loader and I can't select anything. Then BTX HALTED. That is all she
wrote. If you all have the answer to this one. Please inform me. 
I have an AMD ATHLON XP SYSTEM I am installing this on. I reformatted the hard drive 
with 
the NTFS file system. I will continue to search for documentation on this. My goal is
to get this operating system installed. And have a few nice applications installed. 
Slowly
but surely familiarize with various aspects. 
I know with this op you need to have a lot more knowledge than with Windows. You need 
to
know more settings and configurations to different things. Once I dial it all in I will
feel I have climbed mount everest!! Thanks. Jerry in Corning CA.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "expected behaviour".

In FreeBSD you need to include the character set in your locale string.
This is not a bug, but I believe by design. Whether this is conform to
somebodys "expectations" or not, I'm not sure. I don't think it is a
violation of any standards, however. But I might be mistaken.

To make some program work, that has a locale string hard coded, you might
need to make the symlink as described in my previous mail.

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location


A search for this gives quite a lot of hits, but all seem to suggest that
the linprcfs is either not mounted, or that linux-supprt is not loaded
into the kernel. Well in my case neither seems to hold true:

vmnet.ko missing - but it's there - vmware and crashes (repost)

[Ben Paley]

Hello,

I'm getting a total crash every time I try to run vmware. This is my system:

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
FreeBSD potato.hogsedge.net 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Tue Jun 22 
07:07:08 BST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/POTATO  
i386
bash-2.05b$ pkg_info | grep vmware
vmware3-3.2.1.2242_7,1 A virtual machine emulator - a full PC in a window

For a while I was getting some sort of network error: vmware would start as 
long as all the network stuff was disabled, but if I tried to have a 
host-only connection (I haven't even bothered trying a bridged connection) it 
wouldn't run (that is, vmware itself would run fine, but the virtual machine 
wouldn't boot, and I'd get an error message about networking - sorry I didn't 
make a note of it).

So I did

portupgrade -fR vmware3

and after a lot of waiting around I tried again: now I get a complete crash 
(can't even change to another terminal and kill x) whenever I try to start 
vmware.

On boot, I get this message:

kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko: No such file or 
directory

in amongst all the other system stuff, but I also get this:

-bash-2.05b# locate vmnet.ko
/usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko

even after updating the locate database.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Ben

Re: Quad ethernet: Adaptec or Znyx?

I am using a Znyx348 under FreeBSD 4.10.  The 348 is a dual channel
card, which is simply a de-populated 346, so performance should be
identical.

I had problems with it when using the de(4) driver.  Nway support
appears to break with this driver.  I could get it to mostly work by
forcing the media select in ifconfig.  However, even by doing this I
had very high packet loss rates when talking to one of my switches.  I
am not sure if a further workaround would have fixed the problem,
because at that point I switched to the Znyx znb driver.  It works
great with the znb driver --- Nway works and packet loss is 0, even
when thrashing it with spray.  By the way, you can conclude from this
that although Znyx states that its driver is only supported up to 4.4,
it does work with 4.10.  I have used it under both 4.6 and 4.10.

However, I am concerned that I may need to replace the card when I
upgrade to FreeBSD 5.x, unless either the 5.x de(4) driver works
better or Znyx releases a version of its driver for 5.x.  This is
something that you may want to be wary of.  I would also be interested
to hear from anybody using either the ZX346 or ZX348 under 5.x.

I have had no experience with the Adaptec card.

I wasnt sure it had something to do with the libmaps i used but i 
wondered it might be so. The --debug option didnt reveal any info at all, 
other then i already had. In the example libmap.conf they had a lib 
setting 
for apache so i figured this might be important for clam as well.
Maybe the program is linked to some libs during compile time, but at 
running time is uses other libs? I wonder why i seem to be the only one 
who is running into trouble like this. Big difference with OpenBSD is that 
FreeBSD 5 does threading and supports SMP, which is applicable for the 
machine i run clam on. Not that this answer is sensefull, but i wondered 
if i am the only one experiencing trouble with clamd.
Bye,

Mipam.

Thanks Pete; I'll try this tomorrow at work.

I have, so far, fallen back on the traditional xhost 
authorizaton. It would be nice to get it right - even
though I dislike the HP-UX system and am trying to get
it out of the loop. But for the moment availability of
certain CAD software precludes this.

[no subject]

[Joshua Lewis]

Hello everyone,

I am able to ping my loopback as well as my static IP address. but I am
not able to ping any other system on the net, my ISP's DNS server nor the
ISP's Default Gateway. I am able to ping my system by FQDN and just the
host name from the FreeBSD box.

Ping error for the DNS server ping is:
ping: sendto: No route to host

Ping to the ISP Default Gateway
ping: sendto: Host is down

However I am able to ping the above addresses (Including my FreeBSD
server) from my XP box.

Network setup.

FreeBSD (Static Public IP) -> Linksys 5 port switch -> Switch -> DSL Modem

XP box -> Linksys Router (Different Static public IP)-> Linksys 5 port
switch. -> DSL Modem (All is working fine from here)

This IP was purchased several months ago so it should be setup. Perhaps
there is something wrong on their side. Is there a way I can prove it?
Below is the information I have collected.


I have listed in my rc.conf my ISP's Default Gateway, my IP, my subnet.

My /etc/resolv.conf shows
domaindomain (there is no hostname on this line)
nameserver127.0.0.1
nameserver (ISP DNS SERVER)
nameserver(ISP SECONDARY DNS SERVER)

I have checked the spelling and confirmed the IP's in the resolv.conf are
correct.

I didn't set it up but my /etc/hosts file has my loopback and FQDN listed
twice. I have no idea why
::1localhost.domainlocalhost
127.0.0.1localhost.domainlocalhost
MY IPFQDNhostname (there is no "." at the end of this FQDN I don't
know if that matters)
MY IPFQDN.(there is a "." at the end of this FQDN and no hostname
listed)


And that is all I know how to do so far. It looks right to me. Perhaps
someone can see what I missed or did wrong.

Sorry for covering up some of the info. I don't know who is out there.

Do you think my DNS server is not really working and the system is simply
looking up my addresses in my hosts file?

Any help is welcome.

I just tried to ping the External IP of the Linksys Router and was
successfully. This is leading me to think it is something on my ISP. Does
that sound right to anyone else?

Thank you,
Joshua Lewis
