Openoffice and diskless terminals
Hi, I have just installed Openoffice on my server that has a number of diskless terminals booting from it. Openoffice run on the server but not on the terminals. I have other applications that runs on the terminals without any problem. Any idea?

Re: using cvsup
like someone mentioned, it doesnt matter where you put it. my supfile is in /root, but its just preference. ive noticed you keep mentioning that you wont be using X, and you are thinking you need to deinstall your cvsup or something... you dont have to do that, just use use -g when running cvsup to tell it not to use a gui. for example, cvsup -g -L 2 path/to/supfile Curtis Vaughan wrote: I'm a little confused about using cvsup. I'm referring to 2 resources (The Complete FreeBSD - 4th edition, and www,freebsd.org manual for cvsup). BTW, I currently have FreeBSD 4.8 installed. Ok, so, I know I need to edit a supfile and I have found all the examples. But it seems to me that it is advisable to put my own edited supfile in a particular directory. What is the best or more common practice? Maybe in the base directory: i.e., /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ ? Note that I will not be using the gui. I have not installed X windows (XFree86) as this is to be a server and I no intention of using any gui interface. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trouble with ipfstat
Hi, I have installed freebsd 4.10 (i386) with ipfilter firewall. When I do a cvsup, compile kernel, install and restart with new kernel, I have trouble with ipfstat -t output. The source and destination ip address are a bunch of zeroes and not the actuals. ipfstat -t works well before running cvsup and kernel compilation.

Research questions on FreeBSD 4.10
Hi, I am currently doing a research on FreeBSD 4.10 Release System for a presentation to an institution of 400 students. I would like to enquire on several questions regarding the Operating System : - - Process Management / Model - Scheduling * Is it preemptive ? * Discuss the algorithm - Threading model * User, kernel or hybrid? - File System * Discuss more than one if applicable - Device management - Memory management - Programming language supported (and recommendation) - Networking support - Security model * User security * File System security - Compare the current version of the OS that you're researching with the previous and future version We look forward for your speedy reply.

Re: most commonly used database
On Thursday 19 August 2004 12:50 am, Peter Ryan wrote: Has anyone got any idea what is the most commonly used database on freeBSD ? Is it mySql ? I was going to install it but the CPU utilitisation problems reported recently are a bit worrying. Thanks Peter Hi Peter, Caveat: I am more familiar with postgresql. It is currently my database of choice. My opinions may show a certain bias. Mysql is probably the most popular; but there are significant differences between database servers that are used on FreeBSD that should be considered. The common, free, relational database servers include firebird, postgresql, mysql and sqlite. Firebird is compatible with Borland's Interbase. Mysql has the most documentation available in bookstores. I don't think mysql is ACID compliant for all of its data table formats. User administration is easier in mysql -- you can use wildcards when assigning database privileges to a user. Postgresql is ACID compliant; and has features missing in mysql (boolean data type, stored procedures, nested queries, table inheritance, etc.). Postgresql is released under the BSD license. I've heard that sqlite is really good as an embedded database. If you need a crossplatform database: firebird, mysql and sqlite have native versions available for Windows. A Windows version of postgresql is in development. There is much more information at each database's website. Googling will take you far. Please note that the version number for postgresql 7.5 has been changed to 8.0.0, which is currently in beta.

Freebsd 4.10 ncplogin + Netware 4.11 = nwerr 89fc
When Im trying to log into the netware server, I got nwerr = 89fc, which according to this source code http://debian.fapeal.br/debian/pool/main/n/ncpfs/ncpfs_2.2.0.18-10.diff means Unknown server, (even though this source is from a linux distro, I think the netware error codes are more or less the same, but maybe Im wrong). Its a bit wierd, since the ipx configuration looks ok, I can see the server in ncplist and I can ipxping it. I use the same login information (user,tree,servername,password) to access the server as on win, which works see http://www.szabokft.hu/netware.jpg I had success with ipx and ncpfs in the past on fbsd on another system, so Im confused with this.

Large Disks lose loads of diskspace

Now, I can live with a 20gb loss, but when I check the disks free space, they have only 166gb free with 0 gb used. Could be me, but I find 34gb a bit excessive.

I don't remember why this was always so hard with XF86Config. I still had to hand insert DPMS and wheel mouse parameters, but for the most part I understand those. :-) Installed KDE after X.org.

Re: make fails on device iir on freebsd 4.10
I just took a quick glance at your file, but will this compile if you uncomment iir??? You certainly have a lot of things included in your config file. Re-enabling some options will help you narrow down whether or not the problem is in fact the iir being commented out or whether something that depends on iir isn't commented out.

The SANE backend is the most important part, it's independant from FreeBSD. The main problem is writting the backend, since hardware specs are often not public... The fact some color corrections, etc. are done by the driver does not help; vendors tend to remove the optic parts (or use less and less parts...), the electronic and the software do the job of these parts nowadays. You can see some similar state of things with (cheap) digital cameras. The expensive scanners you mentioned may be good ones, but nothing is better than a real test. I use scanners for black/white scans at 300dpi, so a lot of scanners fit my need. Anyone have experience with that HP scanner that is clear. No, but is it supported by SANE?

I've been using the apache-php-postgresql for some time now and wanted to compliment you on your choice as well as offer some help. First, I would definitely recommend that you do everything, (or as much as you can) through the ports. Second, I strongly suggest that you start with a minimal installation. The packages are a great place to start for beginners but the ports are much more robust, flexible and CURRENT. The minimal install is available as a choice when performing an install. Assuming that you have done a minimal install and therefore clearing any possible conflicts with other possibly outdated packages install the following items in the listed order: 1. Apache. Your choice of version though I've heard that PHP may not be fully ready for the threading in Apache2. I've not experienced any problems with Apache2 and PHP5 or PHP4, so this is just a FYI. cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 or cd /usr/ports/www/apache2 and do 'make install clean'. 2. PostgreSQL. Straight forward install here. cd /usr/ports/database/postgresql73 and do 'make install clean' I'm assuming that you aware of the requirement to do initdb as pgsql to initialize the databases after installation from the ports. 3. PHP. If your curious about PHP5 then the steps get a little different and I list those next. As for PHP4 just cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 and do ' make install clean'. The last time I ran this, and every time before, I was presented with a menu to select the options for PHP such as PostgreSQL, GD, PDFLib..., so you don't have to worry about command line defines. PHP5, here you'll goto /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions and do a 'make install clean'. Again the menu will pop up with php extension choices as stated above. Once this is done goto /usr/ports/www/mod_php5 and do 'make install clean'. Obviouosly the above steps have been completed goto /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf and make sure that you have the LoadModule and AddType lines in there for php. Then goto /usr/local/etc/rc.d and run the apache and postgresql startup scripts with the 'start' command line option. Let me know if you need more detail. -Randy Rail mail writes: I am having issues with getting postgress extensions for php4 do you have to configure it via ports/compiling or can you get away with with just pkg_dd -r Iv'e tried pkg_add -r apache pkg_add -r mod_php4 and the ports way cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 make cd work/php-4.3.8 ./configure --with-pgsql cd ../../ make install and variations of that I also thought that I might have wanted something from lang/php4-extensions make config //choose pgsql make install I havn't seemed to have any luck the ol sys admin already set up httpd.conf I was mucking around with php.ini trying to get it to use pgsql.so what is the best direction to take I'd like to stick to packages or ports I found tutorials on how to do it with rpms or tar.gz and do it by hand, but freebsd has set up a nice system with ports and packages and I would like to stick to that if I can thanks for any help ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mouse problems with KVM switch
Hi, I have just brought this KVM switch: http://www.level1.com/products3.php?sklop=20id=590430 But Im having major problems with getting the mouse to work under FreeBSD. Even the keyboard does not work sometimes. This KVM switch has support for hotkey and also supports emulation on both mouse and keyboard. When I boot up my system and see the BIOS on the computer the keyboard works just fine. Then when it continues to boot and comes to the loader, it still works. And the it starts to load the kernel. But then when i get to the login prompt the keyboard does not work. And sometimes even thought I stay with the computer the hole boot process I can't even use the keyboard. So I have to use ssh to login to the computer and make it reboot to regain the keyboard. I have also tried to change the cables but I get the same results. And It works with no problems under Windows XP Pro. The system that im using is FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9, at least on this system. I have also two other computers that Im running FreeBSD-stable on. On one of my FreeBSD-stable machines I have hade a working mouse under X Windows System (Xorg latest from ports). But then I rebooted the system and when I started xdm, it found the mouse but when I move it around It didn't move like it should. It took some seconds before it moved and it did not move like it should, jumps several ramdom cm/inches on the screen (Perhaps in the direction that I move the mouse im not sure). Its on usable in other words. I have also tryied to use moused under FreeBSD but I get the same fault/problem. I also have a problem if I do not have this machine selected when I boot. Then when I switch to it when the boot of the FreeBSD system has complete, The screen on the monitor just blinks. Still the keyboard works because I can press two times Left Ctrl and then 1 to 4 to change the computer Im controlling. This I can not do with the FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 system I can only see the screen but have to change the computer im controlling by pressing the button on the switch box. I have tried to remove the cables and put them back again. But that does not help, the only solution I can see is to reboot the system and let it boot with it selected. I have also booted up with the mouse directly connected to the computer. Then when the system boot was completed I moved the mouse around to see that it did work. After that I plugged back the cable from the switch in to the computers mouse port. And the plugged the mouse back in the switch box, that did not work either. I have also added flags to both psm0 and atkbd in my kernel config: # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x0 device psm0at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x0 I have also tried with the flags set to 0x100 on both atkbd0 and psm0, but that doesn't seem to make any diffrance. I have done this on my FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 box as well. I have also changed it in: /boot/device.hints But I don't get it working correctly either by that. Does anybody have a clue or have hade any similar problems and/or who could shine some light on this problem?

Scheduled system backups program
I have a customer who has learned the hard way (the very hard way) that backups of your corporate data are imperative. Well now that I have spent the last three days trying to recover their data I need to implement a backup plan for them. They only have a few drives for backup (two 40G and a 160G) up so I would like to make a full backup this week and then schedule incremental backups from now on. The two 40G are probably going to get striped together and the 160 is going to be a dedicated backup. They do not have any tape drives only hard drives and to top it all off they only have Macs. They are using a dedicated Mac running OS 9.2 acting as a server. I was hoping I could upgrade that system to OS X and I was wondering if there are any FreeBSD utilities that would work for backing up. Otherwise I will be setting up a freebsd backup server and I would like to save the customer the money and not have to go that route. I am sorry for the many OS X questions I have been posting here over the last few days but the Darwin mailing list did not respond. Does anyone know of a good OS X mailing list I can join?

How do I make devices usable from a jail?
I'm running CURRENT. I've set up a jail. As part of setting it up, I ran mount_devfs devfs /path/to/jail/dev. This appeared to mount all of my devices in the jail at the proper location. When I start the jail, the jail's /dev looks correct. It looks identitical to the host system's /dev as far as I can tell. The devices are all owned by root, and the permissions on most of them are crw---. However, the jail cannot seem to use some of these devices. For example, when I run sysinstall inside the jail and attempt to install packages from the CD, it reports that it does not have permission. More importantly, sshd can't access /dev/random. crw-r- 1 root operator 4, 12 Aug 19 09:08 /dev/acd0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 250, 0 Aug 19 02:08 /dev/random lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel6 Aug 19 16:40 /dev/urandom - random I can't understand why sshd and sysinstall can't use these devices. The documentation suggests that devfs may have something to do with this, but running devfs rule showsets from outside the jail yields nothing. Running it from inside the jail gives an operation not permitted error. I suppose I have no rules. Is this the problem? Is the default behavior for allowing access to devices from jails more restrictive than when not in jails? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Otherwise I will be setting up a freebsd backup server and I would like to save the customer the money and not have to go that route. This didn't quite make full sense to me (forgive me if I misread it). If they have all mac machines, what kind of machines are they (specs?)? I've noticed with a lot of older macs, upgrading to os x is going to require you to get more ram otherwise your users will complain. I'd suggest not considering os x if they're running anything released before the blue and white g3s (new g4 sales were when os x started shipping standard w/os 9.x and also when os 9 was no longer installed on the later generation g4s).. I have a bw w/256 megs of ram on it. It's not so bad, but I'd suggest having 384-512 (specs say they only take 512, but they'll actually max otu and handle 1 gig quite well). Since they obviously would want to stay with the mac platform, my suggestion would be to bite the bullet and install os x on all the macs and make the backup machine freebsd. Assume almost any command line utility that exists for freebsd exists or can be compiled for mac os x (see fink.sourceforge.net for the easiest installation management...that's a broad statement so don't REALLY assume that's true w/o doing your own research). If you leave os 9.2 on those macs, you'll end up having to purchase software like mac pc-lan or other networking clients. In the end, it'll be a waste of money when they upgrade to os x anyway. the toss up is buying the os 9.2 software vs. upgrading to os x and them buying os x versions of their software (if they don't run classic in parallel with os x). I don't know much about backups, but i'd say look into rsync (someone else answer w/something better please). To save a few bucks, I'd just install freebsd on their server machine. On a side note, from what i've read (but never experienced) raid support for mac classic can be summed up in 1 wordpthththththe:P Although thye do exist, there are few hardware solutions for mac classic raid and i don't know many people fond of software driven raid (esp if your system crashes completely). I am sorry for the many OS X questions I have been posting here over the last few days but the Darwin mailing list did not respond. Does anyone know of a good OS X mailing list I can join? I don't know of any mailing lists, but I do suggest taking a look at www.macosx.com (forums...pretty good) and www.macdevcenter.com (o'reilly's site). The best source for info about personal experiences would be to check http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/. That's where I always go for mac hardware info on older machines.

Advice on webmail server
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on setup for a server I'm making. It's going to be a webmail server for a client, with probably no more then 700-800 total accounts, with maybe up to 250 concurrent users. Will be some HTML mail (bleh!) and flash/animated gif/etc also. I thought of Squirrelmail as the likely candidate. Mostly internal connections, with external via SSL available. Bandwidth isn't an issue. The server is a HP ProLiant DL380, twin 2.8GHz Xeon, 2G ram. 2x36.4G 10k Ultra320 and 4x72.8G 10k Ultra320. I have the 36.4G drives mirrored, for OS and config stuff, and was going to make the 4x72.8G a raid5 and that be the mail spool partition. Is that sound like a good idea? I've not used FreeBSD for anything like this before and frankly am not sure what changes from default I should use, if any. Should I stick with 4.10, or is 5.2.1 OK? Any sysctl changes? Default kernel OK? Thanks for any tips! -- Met ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
securing postgresql on fbsd
This is not strictly a freebsd question, but this group is the smartest around... so I've installed postgresql on freebsd 4.10-rel. I want to secure ALL connections to postgres through ssh. So I first configured postgresql to connect ONLY to 127.0.0.1 port 5432. Then, when attempting to ssh to tunnel to it from another machine I got an error: --- Aug 19 10:31:12 dbsrv1 sshd[157]: Accepted publickey for iddwb from +129.219.69.200 port 33068 ssh2 Aug 19 10:31:40 dbsrv1 sshd[159]: error: connect_to 129.219.69.206 port 5432: +Connection refused Aug 19 10:31:40 dbsrv1 sshd[159]: error: connect_to dbsrv1.pp.asu.edu port 5432: +failed. So it looks like I wasn't building the tunnel correctly. From the remote host connecting to the freebsd postgresql server I was using: ssh -L 5001:dbsrv1:5432 [EMAIL PROTECTED] But it looks like that is forbidden to connect to 'localhost' on the remote machine, ie on dbsrv1. I was able to get postgresql to bind to all adapters, and connect to it using the above tunnel. But then I have an open port on dbsrv1 that anyone can connect to... ie I can straight telnet dbsrv1 5432 and reach it unencrypted. It binds to a public interface, and I don't want that. I know postgresql has an ssl option, but I was hoping to just use ssh tunneling. hoping this make sense, I'm wondering what other freebsd users have done to secure postgresql? or how to make ssh tunnel 'all the way through to the remote localhost'.. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing - End forwarded message - -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mouse problems with KVM switch
Hi, I have just brought this KVM switch: http://www.level1.com/products3.php?sklop=20id=590430 But Im having major problems with getting the mouse to work under FreeBSD. Even the keyboard does not work sometimes. This KVM switch has support for hotkey and also supports emulation on both mouse and keyboard. When I boot up my system and see the BIOS on the computer the keyboard works just fine. Then when it continues to boot and comes to the loader, it still works. And the it starts to load the kernel. But then when i get to the login prompt the keyboard does not work. And sometimes even thought I stay with the computer the hole boot process I can't even use the keyboard. So I have to use ssh to login to the computer and make it reboot to regain the keyboard. I have also tried to change the cables but I get the same results. And It works with no problems under Windows XP Pro. The system that im using is FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9, at least on this system. I have also two other computers that Im running FreeBSD-stable on. On one of my FreeBSD-stable machines I have hade a working mouse under X Windows System (Xorg latest from ports). But then I rebooted the system and when I started xdm, it found the mouse but when I move it around It didn't move like it should. It took some seconds before it moved and it did not move like it should, jumps several ramdom cm/inches on the screen (Perhaps in the direction that I move the mouse im not sure). Its on usable in other words. I have also tryied to use moused under FreeBSD but I get the same fault/problem. I also have a problem if I do not have this machine selected when I boot. Then when I switch to it when the boot of the FreeBSD system has complete, The screen on the monitor just blinks. Still the keyboard works because I can press two times Left Ctrl and then 1 to 4 to change the computer Im controlling. This I can not do with the FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 system I can only see the screen but have to change the computer im controlling by pressing the button on the switch box. I have tried to remove the cables and put them back again. But that does not help, the only solution I can see is to reboot the system and let it boot with it selected. I have also booted up with the mouse directly connected to the computer. Then when the system boot was completed I moved the mouse around to see that it did work. After that I plugged back the cable from the switch in to the computers mouse port. And the plugged the mouse back in the switch box, that did not work either.

MP3 voice recorders and FreeBSD

The device here: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=55-603-406DEPA=0 Is similar in nature to what I wish to purchase; it may not be this device, but similar.

How to Build a Custom Port Tree
I am a newbie to FreeBSD I'm using an old machine right now with limited disk space, so I don't want to install the entire ports collection. I want to build a custom port tree, and I'm finding the docs to be a bit silent on this account as I guess nowadays disk space is usually abundant so installing the entire port tree is the preferred route. Can someone give some basic guidance on: 1) Do I install a compiler or does the basic FreeBSD install have it installed already? 2) How do I setup a single application port? 3) Will I need to trace dependence or will make pull in the required libraries? 4) Can I use CVsup to keep a limited number of ports up to date?

CVsup is used to keep the ports tree (or any collection of code) up to date by connecting to a CVS (Concurrent versioning system) server. Many people rely on portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to handle the actual updating of the ports themselves, as it compares versions, handles dependencies (recursively!) etc., etc. It's written in the Ruby language, and has ruby, rubydb, and openssl as dependancies.

You would need the skeleton installed in some directory, (generally /usr/ports/somecategory/someapp), and then go to that location and type make install clean, most usually. I get the fact that I have to create the directory structure in /usr/ports. What I can't figure out is where to get the skeleton for a single port. When I search a single port and it points me to mirrors for the specific port, is that the skeleton you are referring to. If I download that file and extract, will it extract to the correct directory, like WinZip does if path info is stored in the archive? If you're limited on space and don't want the ports tree, I'd suggest you not install it at all, and use packages instead.

I am trying to use the packages, but find it difficult to add some of the features (modules) to these packages as the documentation normally calls for a recompile.

I'm afraid that's not going to be possible with your current network layout. If you want all of your machines to be accessible from the Internet, then you'll need routable addresses on all of your machines. I know you've said you don't want to use tunnelling, but unfortunately, that's the only way you can access a private address space as you have from outside it. A relatively simple way of doing that is to ssh into your gateway box, and use the '-L' or '-R' portforwarding options to create a tunnel to one of the internal machines, and then ssh or otherwise connect through that tunnel: see eg. http://www.linux.ie/articles/tutorials/ssh.php One other point: you're going to have problems if you're using 192.168.0.0 as the IP number on your FreeBSD machine. That's the *network* address, and shouldn't be applied directly to any specific machine. If you're running your internal network using 192.168.0.0/24 as the address space, then you have 254 addresses (from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254) to use for client machines, since 192.168.0.0 (network address) and 192.168.0.255 (broadcast address) are reserved as part of the networking setup.

You could setup a DMZ to your Default Gateway. If this is a Linksys Broadband Gateway, it's as simple as checking a box and typing in the private IP address. This routes all incoming (non-statefull) connections to this host. Since your IP changes, use a dynamic DNS service such as no-ip.org(sp?) or tzo.com. I've used TZO.com, personally, then I just got DSL with a /29 static IP address allocation. This should work without issue, unless your DMZ firewall rules prevent it. I would need more information to let you know.

Re: dealing with deffective RAM
I've tested the entire week, with some weird results. No errors are found inside any of the two modules, when I test them separately (in slot one). When I have both modules, I get a few hundreds errors. I've cleaned the slots and the contacts, but no change. The funny thing is that all the errors seem located in the 0-128M range, even if I swap the position of the two modules. I've tested multiple times, for up to 16 hours at a time, and the results are consistent: no errors with a single module, a lot of them with both inserted, no matter which is the order of the modules (original, or swapped). I assume it's the fault of the motherboard, not of the memory modules. Thanks eveybody for the answers - I think I should get a new motherboard and processor.
