Interesting.  I did a find /var -inum {inode_num} and got the name of the 
file.  (session.log, which *should* be hupped when it's turned over.)  I've 
posted on the snort list to see if anyone is aware of this or has seen the 
problem before.  In the meantime, I've commented out the log in the conf 
file so the server won't gag when I'm not paying attention to it.

Problems with the ports collection

2004-09-11 Thread Travis Troyer
I just installed FreeBSD from the 5.2.1 ISO.  After installing
the necessities, I downloaded the latest ports.tar.gz from
freebsd.org, extracted the ports, and did a make index from
the ports directory.  At this point I did make install from
x11/kde3.  Since then I have installed firefox, gaim, and a
few other ports.  Then, I noticed that I didn't have kmail,
and found that it is part of the kdepim port, so I tried
installing it.  At some point it requires gpg-error.1, during
which I get:

===   libgcrypt-1.2.0_1 depends on shared library:

Install errors on old HP machine

2004-09-11 Thread Jouke Witteveen
about 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/051498.html

Hello,
I happen to have the same problem with different (all NEW) floppies and 
different kern.flp files (4.8, 4.9, 4.10) even from diiferent FTP 
servers (!) on my old compaq prolinea 66MHz (DX2) 20MB RAM. Everytime I 
boot a kern floppy it gives a zf_read error. This error does not occur 
on other (modern) pc's so the floppy seemes oke but other boot disks 
(for instance my debian installation disk) do work, so the floppy drive 
seems to read oke as well. What can I do to install FreeBSD 4?

Yours sincerely,

thanks
 

 
 It's all about the tags.  RELENG_4_10 will give you FreeBSD 
 4.10-RELEASE, the -p2 means there have been 2 patches for it since it 
 was released and you have them.  Tthe RELEASE branch only gets bugfixes 
 and security updates.  If you want, say, 4.10-STABLE, which will 
 eventually become 4.11, use the tag RELENG_4.  There is a section on 
 these tags in the FreeBSD Handbook that fully explains them.

If I understand Rob correctly all he needs is /usr/src/UPDATING file
(after updating the source tree).


here's mine on *FreeBSD 5*:

The security advisories related to various patches contain information
on how to build/install a minimal set of binaries and start/stop a

updates that don't have an advisory, or to be safe, you can do a full
build and install as described in the COMMON ITEMS section.

Need advice

2004-09-11 Thread Bill Schmitt (SW)
I'm a newbie to FreeBSD, and I like what I've seen so far. I've been 
trying it on a machine I have here to get an idea of the plusses and 
minuses of using it as a basic desktop system. I could use a little 
advice to guide me in the process.

I'm working with Version 4.10 now, simply because at the time I 
downloaded it, the 5 release kept locking up in the middle of the 
detection process. Also, my configuration seems to indicate that I 
should be using XFree86, too, and a lot of the comments here have stated 
that 5 will begin the use of xorg. However, xorg doesn't seem to support 
the graphics adapter on the machine I'm working with (though, tweaking 
XFree86 has been a bit of a challenge!).

The machine I'm working with is a Gateway with a 300MHz PII that had 
otherwise been retired. It started with 32MB of memory which I replaced 
with a single 128MB chip. The motherboard has a built-in graphics 
adapter that was put out by a company called Mpact, which doesn't appear 
on any support list I've been able to find. Apparently the company was 
acquired by somebody, who was then acquired by somebody else (ATI, I 
believe) which then retired the processor. Because of that, when it 
didn't work right away I didn't put too much effort into it. Instead, I 
added a Diamond Stealth 2001 I had with the Arklogic 2000pv chip set and 
2MB of DRAM (from another retired machine) and used xf86cfg to create a 
configuration file that disabled the onboard adapter and worked with the 
Stealth adapter. While I'm not done tweaking it, I have managed to bring 
up xfce at 800x600 in a low color mode, so far. I intend to try out the 
various desktops and Window managers I've seen documented but chose xfce 
to start because the comments here have generally indicated that it's a 
good choice for a light, speedy, environment to begin. I did a full 
install of FreeBSD, beginning with a minimal system from a CD, then 
switching to FTP to continue, which seems to give me more options to 
choose from. I used xf86cfg to get to the point where I can where I can 
use xstart to bring up xfce with the a basic desktop on it. First, I got 
it working with the basic VESA driver, and then with the ARK driver. 
However, While I don't expect the machine to be a speed demon, it still 
seems quite slow in comparison to the MS Windows versions (95 and ME) 
that had previously been on the machine (I did a completely clean 
install, so there are no Windows components, or anything else, left on 
the drive).

Considering all of that, my questions are:
- Am I being unrealistic in choosing a machine with a 300MHz processor?
- If I add another 128MB of memory, should I expect to see a dramatic 
improvement?
- Could the graphics adapter itself be the bottleneck?
- If I picked up a newer graphics adapter that was supported by xorg, 
would a switch to 5.x and/or xorg be expected to pick up the speed a bit?

Thanks to anyone who might help fill in the blanks.
Bill

From my limited experience I'm not expert when it comes to free BSD 

It depends what you expect from the box but 

I have a similar box (amd 400) running 5.2.1 and its quite happy :)
in my opinion adding ram to any box will may things improve 

I added a cheap Nivdia 64meg video card that works well with Xf86 and
the driver is on the Nvidia site if you want 3d to work 

plan to play with x.org this weekend just downloaded 5.3 

hope this helps

RE: NAT/DIVERT Issues in 5.2.1 Release

2004-09-11 Thread JJB
Your question is way to vague. You have to post your ipfw rules file
and the contents of rc.conf for people to review before anybody can
help you. First piece of advice is to not use the default firewall
rules as its way outdated and does more to confuse a person than
really work as an firewall rule set. Second you should read the
complete rewrite of the handbook firewall section at
www.a1poweruser.com/FBSD_firewall/  for details on configuring ipfw.

Subject: NAT/DIVERT Issues in 5.2.1 Release


I've just completed a frustrating day of attempting to get nat
working
on 5.2.1 RELEASE. I've very familiar with using FreeBSD as a nat
enabled Internet gateway, I have set this up on many machines with
prior versions.

I've compiled my kernel with the ip divert and firewall options
needed. I have enabled the firewall and natd in my rc.conf, and have
(for now) set firewall type to open and gateway_enable=yes.

The setup simply won't work, the appropriate rules are in the
firewall, and the natd daemon is running. The main thing I find that
doesn't make sense is running ipfw -a l lists the divert rule but
its values are zeroed out such that it has been used.

Is there an issue with nat on 5.2.1-RELEASE? I've even tried
compiling
a kernel from cvsup (5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 I believe).

Any suggestions on where I might have messed this up would be
excellent.

Problems with the ports collection

In

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=638936+0+current/freebsd-ports

The port maintainer suggests setting ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'dbm_hash' 
in your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf

Then you can create an INDEX.db that you can use.

Interface Bonding Bridging problem

2004-09-11 Thread SharkTECH Maillists
Hello,

I have been running a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE server having 3 nics installed but
was using only 2 of them (1 for uplink and 1 for switch) to monitor, filter
and shape my network and had absolutely no problems at all.

However, in order to increase the ability of handling even more packets
(especially while filtering incoming DDoS), I decided to get a 2nd uplink
from backbone, connect it to em1, bond em0/em1 (uplinks) to ngeth0/fec0
(virtual interface) and bridge ngeth0/fec0 with em2 (switch link). In order
for this to work, etherchanneling is enabled between uplink1/uplink2 at the
backbone side.

The problem is although bonding seems to work fine as I can assign IPs at
fec0/ngeth0 and send/receive packet with both cards using the virtual
interface, I cannot get bridging to work at all between ngeth0/fec0(virtual)
and em2(switch). There are no errors in logs, it just doesn't seem to
bridge.

After doing a 2 days research in Google, FreeBSD maillists, web articles and
asking for help in freebsdhelp IRC channels, I ended up that someone in
FreeBSD maillists may be able to help me providing me a different
bonding/bridging way or even by applying a patch.

I was thinking that the solution may be to do both bonding  bridging using
netgraph, and not bridging using FreeBSD's kernel bridge. I'd be glad to try
this but unfortunately I haven't figured out how, even after reading several
articles. So if anyone can help me on this step-by-step, please do.

I will appreciate any replies after you take a look at the diagrams and
settings below, that are showing what exactly I have done until now.

No.  But a faster CPU wouldn't hurt, either.

improvement?
Adding more memory is probably the most cost-effective way of improving 
performance.

- Could the graphics adapter itself be the bottleneck?
Yes.  A video card with 2MB of RAM is obsolete by today's standards.
- If I picked up a newer graphics adapter that was supported by xorg, 
would a switch to 5.x and/or xorg be expected to pick up the speed a bit?
A switch to 5.x is likely to slow things down.  Switching to xorg might help a 
little.

 Subject: NAT/DIVERT Issues in 5.2.1 Release
 
 I've just completed a frustrating day of attempting to get nat working
 on 5.2.1 RELEASE. I've very familiar with using FreeBSD as a nat
 enabled Internet gateway, I have set this up on many machines with
 prior versions.
 
 I've compiled my kernel with the ip divert and firewall options
 needed. I have enabled the firewall and natd in my rc.conf, and have
 (for now) set firewall type to open and gateway_enable=yes.
 
 The setup simply won't work, the appropriate rules are in the
 firewall, and the natd daemon is running. The main thing I find that
 doesn't make sense is running ipfw -a l lists the divert rule but
 its values are zeroed out such that it has been used.
 
 Is there an issue with nat on 5.2.1-RELEASE? I've even tried compiling
 a kernel from cvsup (5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 I believe).
 
 Any suggestions on where I might have messed this up would be excellent.

Re: Asus A7N8X-E w/SATA and SCSI, 4.10 sys install snafu

2004-09-11 Thread Lee Harr
Does anyone have experience with this motherboard, in particular using
sata drives?  Any ideas what's going on, and how to proceed?
I was hoping this was going to be relatively painless :-(

Do I need to bag 4.10 and go with 5.3 to get this to work?

I have an A7N8X-deluxe. And quite a few problems, actually.
Have never tried sata, however.
For me, a 4.10 cd will not boot. There has been a thread about
this on -stable for a while, and it turns out the problem is in the
firewire support somewhere. I built a kernel with the firewire
removed and it boots ok.
I just tried booting a 5.3-beta3 cd and that will not boot either.
It seems to quit around the same place the 4.10 boot cd
stops, so I wonder if it is the same problem...

You probably want to look at you XF86Config file.  At the 
command prompt, man XF86Config will give you the low-down 
on what your options are in the config file.

Many don't seem to have a problem with the config 
application, but it's never been a once-over solution for 
me.  When setting up x, I'll use the application to create 
the config file, then I'll go in and customize it for my 
needs.  I assume it's because I have one of those cheapo 
video adapters built into the motherboard, but I imagine 
that a lot of people find it necessary to do so.

Hope this helps.

Re: Soundcards on 6-current

2004-09-11 Thread Lucas Holt
 BEGIN RANT 
Why is everyone running 6 current and expecting it to work?  They just 
created that branch recently and I seriously doubt that its even close 
to usable.  We could run 5-Current because it was pretty far along.. 6 
is new.

Last time i looked at the handbook it said NOT to run CURRENT unless 
you are a developer/know what you are doing.  I think 5.3 beta is 
bleeding edge enough for everyone.

Based on recent posts, i've concluded that several video cards and 
possibly sound cards are currently broken in 6-Current plus maybe some 
NICs.Translation:  Don't try this at home.

Another reason not to adopt 6 so early is that it encourages port 
maintainers to screw over people on stable versions.  I had to upgrade 
to 5 early because of broken ports.  Lets not go through that again.  I 
know technically that only the ports tree that comes with a release is 
officially supported, but then again everyone always recommends 
CVSUPing the ports on Questions.  Besides, who wants to run outdated 
and possibly insecure versions of software.

 I'm a newbie to FreeBSD, and I like what I've seen so far. I've been
 
 trying it on a machine I have here to get an idea of the plusses and
 
 minuses of using it as a basic desktop system. I could use a little 
 advice to guide me in the process.
 
 I'm working with Version 4.10 now, simply because at the time I 
 downloaded it, the 5 release kept locking up in the middle of the 
 detection process. Also, my configuration seems to indicate that I 
 should be using XFree86, too, and a lot of the comments here have
 stated that 5 will begin the use of xorg. However, xorg doesn't seem
 to support the graphics adapter on the machine I'm working with
 (though, tweaking XFree86 has been a bit of a challenge!).

Tweaking it gets easier with time ^_^

 The machine I'm working with is a Gateway with a 300MHz PII that had
 
 otherwise been retired. It started with 32MB of memory which I
 replaced with a single 128MB chip. The motherboard has a built-in
 graphics adapter that was put out by a company called Mpact, which
 doesn't appear on any support list I've been able to find.
 Apparently the company was acquired by somebody, who was then
 acquired by somebody else (ATI, I believe) which then retired the
 processor. Because of that, when it didn't work right away I didn't
 put too much effort into it. Instead, I added a Diamond Stealth 2001
 I had with the Arklogic 2000pv chip set and 2MB of DRAM (from
 another retired machine) and used xf86cfg to create a configuration
 file that disabled the onboard adapter and worked with the Stealth
 adapter. While I'm not done tweaking it, I have managed to bring up
 xfce at 800x600 in a low color mode, so far. I intend to try out the

Check out X -configure. :)   That makes it easy. Then just tweak the
video mode settings using xf86cfg -textmode.  You may have to go in by
hand and change the depth manually to 24bit. IIRC it defaults to 8bit.
You really should not be noticing tobad of performance in the graphics
area, not going to vouch for that card though. BTW you probally want
VESA for that card. Not to familar with that line of cards though.
You may want to try the S3 or s3virge. A bit of googling showed that
some diamond cards used those chips. :/

 various desktops and Window managers I've seen documented but chose
 xfce to start because the comments here have generally indicated
 that it's a good choice for a light, speedy, environment to begin. I
 did a full install of FreeBSD, beginning with a minimal system from
 a CD, then switching to FTP to continue, which seems to give me more
 options to choose from. I used xf86cfg to get to the point where I
 can where I can use xstart to bring up xfce with the a basic desktop
 on it. First, I got it working with the basic VESA driver, and then
 with the ARK driver. However, While I don't expect the machine to be
 a speed demon, it still seems quite slow in comparison to the MS
 Windows versions (95 and ME) that had previously been on the machine
 (I did a completely clean install, so there are no Windows
 components, or anything else, left on the drive).

Depends on what you are trying on it. XFCE should not bring it down,
but something like KDE or Gnome will easily drop performance. This
slow down is most likely cuased by a crappy video card or badly setup
X. Also not running in 24bit means a slight slow down to, but probally
thing truely noticeable from it

What applications you having trouble with?

BTW does not really make a difference if windows is installed or not
since windows has very primitive FS support(can't read UFS and ect),
and FreeBSD does not really care what windows has installed on it or
any thing. /me has his multimedia box dual boot between releng_5 and
xp corporate.

 Considering all of that, my questions are:
 - Am I being unrealistic in choosing a machine with a 300MHz
 processor?- If I add another 128MB of memory, should I expect to see
 a dramatic improvement?

More mem is all ways good. It allows for more stuff to be loaded
before swapping out and allows for larger cache sizes. My sisters
machine just has a 200MHz p2 in it.

 - Could the graphics adapter itself be the bottleneck?

Quite possibly. A good graphics card will speed things up imensely
because of optimized drivers and ect. This is especially try with the
recently released Xorg 6.8.0(which should be hitting the ports soon),
because of the heavier use of RENDER extension.

Noticed this when I started playing with 5x, but you will need to mess
with it a bit since support for sound cards has not been distributed
around to multiple devices now. Look in /boot/kernel for files named
snd_* and one of those will be the one you want, if the sound chip set
you have is supported. Or loading snd_driver should work too.

Usb proxy

2004-09-11 Thread Craig Perry
Hi all,

I'm new to the list so best say hi first :o)

I have a blackberry device at the moment, and would be quite interested in 
synchronising it with my FreeBSD box which runs evolution. This is obviously a long 
term pipe dream and unlikely to happen anytime soon but I may as well start learning 
about it.

My question is this, how could I setup my bsd box as a kind of proxy for the usb 
connection between my windows laptop (which has the blackberry desktop manager 
software installed), and the blackberry itself?

Ideally I'd like the setup to be along the lines of laptop plugs into usb port on bsd 
box, blackberry plugs into another usb port on the bsd box, and the bsd box simply 
passes everything that comes in on one port out on the other, while logging everything 
to file.

This hopefully over several runs would allow me to reverse engineer the protocol, or 
am I barking up the wrong tree?

Regards,

Craig Perry

upgrading GNUstep

2004-09-11 Thread victorvittorivonwiktow


Salve.

I would like to upgrade the GNUstep environment to the last news.

I am on Amnesiac 4.7 therefore, if I have understood, I should upgrade the main 
binaries to Amnesiac 4.10. 
Then I should 'portupgrade' the relevant items.

I would also like to know, if there is a method to compile the relevant items, without 
upgrading the main system.

I trust in GNUstep as a super-standard API for the FreeBSD.

There is nothing wrong with running sysinstall(8) on a live system. Can 
even be run remotely via ssh. Suggest you skip down to the (C)onfigure 
menu. Use (F)disk and (L)abel. Put your new partitions under /mnt/ or 
someplace separate from your running system filespace. Use (W)rite once 
you have things the way you desire. Then exit from sysinstall(8).

Double check your /etc/fstab after, as sysinstall usually updates it 
when new filesystems are created, else you may be surprised at the next 
boot. Also appends stuff at the tail of /etc/rc.conf.

The manpage says:
NOTES
 The sysinstall utility is essentially nothing more than a 
monolithic C
 program with the ability to write MBRs and disk labels ...

booting beta3 on A7N8X

2004-09-11 Thread Lee Harr
I have one of those goofy asus A7N8X motherboards.
Recently I found out that I can make the system boot
4.10-stable by disabling firewire in the kernel. Otherwise
it freezes up while booting.
Today I burned a 5.3-beta3 cd and tried to boot that.
It looks like it freezes at about the same place that 4.10
stops, but it is hard to tell.
I tried the set console=comconsole trick in the
bootloader to try to save the boot messages from a
serial console, but when I type that in, the system
just immediately locks up.
So... a few questions:
Any other tricks I might try to get this to boot? (some
 way to disable firewire from the bootloader, maybe?)
Is the set console=comconsole line supposed to work?
Can I create a 5.3 cd myself from my 4.10 system?
 (one without firewire, for instance...)
Thanks for any hints...

At what point in the install does it do this?  What file can 
it not find?

Disconnects...  What kind of connection?

Playing .au sound files

2004-09-11 Thread Malcolm Kay
I'm looking for a command line utility to play .au
sound files.

The sound system seems to work. I can play .au
files successfully through kaboodle on kde but
this is rather an overkill (and I don't normally run
kde). 

Surely there is a simple utility to take a .au file
and spit it out as sound. I've looked through the ports
(and installed a number) but not yet found what I'm
looking for - or I've failed to use them correctly.

Thanks Mike,
but I already tried that. Something comes out but it is
all over very quickly and nothing like I expect, or what 
kaboodle puts out.

% waveplay -B 8 -C 1 -S 8000 soundfile.au
sort of works but the quality is poor and it tries to present
the header as sound.

Can I be missing some sort of timing mechanism or

Now I'm curious...  What kind of sound card do you have 
(dmesg)?  Which driver is the kernal using (pcm, sbc, gusc, 
or snd)?  I ask because I've never experienced this.  When 
you use the play command, is there a difference?

Proxy/Firewall Question

2004-09-11 Thread JP
Hello Gang,

I am a novice at this so please bear with me.  I have
successfully configured Squid, Nylon and my firewall,
my question is how do I disable any net traffic that
is not going through the proxy?  It would be best for
all LAN traffic (telnet, ftp, chat, socks, etc) to
pass through the proxy otherwise get dropped.

I would imagine its a Windows configuration thing but
I am not for certain.  

Thanks,
JP
