Is this an adequate configuration to run 5.2.1, or do I need to add memory? It all depends what you want to do with it...it's the applications you run that take up most of the memory. 128MB is a bit on the small side if you're going to be doing memory-heavy desktop work (e.g. running mozilla, KDE, etc), but there are plenty of lighter-weight alternatives to those applications. Good point. I am bringing up another (very capable) machine and learning as I go; I set it up with 4.10 and I now think I should be running 5.2.1. It will ultimately be a mail and web server. I thought I would bring this old machine (inherited from my 89 yr old m-i-l who passed away in August) on 5.2.1 to get a feel for it; I would probably not do much more than use it as a SSH terminal to connect to the other machine and as a learning tool to learn (or re-learn) unix commands. It presently runs Win98SE, had a CD reader and a NIC card, so I know it has working hardware. The bottom line is that 128MB seems adequate for FreeBSD itself? I've run 4.X versions of FreeBSD with 64 MB of physical memory and a bit of swap space for a long time. If you are not hosting a heavy-traffic Apache with lots of dynamic content (PHP or mod_perl), memory intensive desktop GUIs or other stuff that can bloat the memory requirements pretty fast (as Kris notes that is pretty often the case with this sort of programs), 128 MB and a bit of swap space is probably going to be fine. I have 4.10 running in text-mode only (no X Window installed) on a PentiumI/120 MHz with 24/14 MB RAM/swap. It's mainly for server purpose. Another PentiumI/150MHz with 32/32 MB RAM/swap runs 5.3.

Xorg Log-In
I figured that starting over with FBSD 5.2.1 was a good idea, installing less software this time. However, on impulse, I installed v5.3 No new problems until I got to Xorg. I have the new docs downloaded from FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Handbook from The FreeBSD Documentation Project, and Frequently Asked Questions from the same place. They give some information about Xorg. Typing 'startx gets me to a graphical screen similar to the setup screen used in xorg -config. My only option was to hit Ctrl-Alt-Back_Space to get out of it. I then tried to use xdm -config. I get to the point where it asks for name and password. This is mentioned in the handbook. There is no security level set, so the system is at it's default level. I'm logged in as root, so I type root and my root password. It loops back to the same menu each time that I do this. Any other input here just produces a wrong name. It won't accept a blank input either. (At this point, I was looking for the author, a rope, and a tall tree. My 2nd option was to send this email) Is there a secret code to getting into Xorg and setting it up for Gnome? -- Lloyd Hayes Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://TalkingStaff.bravehost.com E-FAX Number: (208) 248-6590 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not positive where I would do this and what the flag would be. Perhaps atkdb=0x01 ??? The driver documentation (man atkbd) shows how to configure a new kernel to do this.

Re: Naming confusion
Lloyd Hayes [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Naming the computer host? I'm confused by this. As I understand it, I get a different DNS assignment every time that I hook into the Internet from a different location. Yet FBSD seems to want a permanent assignment which I would normally get from my ISP. I don't have a permanent ISP. I mainly use 2 services at locations all across the USA. Normally I simply assign a name to the computer, but it appears that FBSD wants a complete Internet address. Unless you're trying to have someone outside reach your machine (as opposed to vice versa), you might as well just use whatever name the ISP you're currently connected to tries to give you. This appears to me to be a conflict. I think that I read in The Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition where there are some addresses to use if the computer will never be hooked into the Internet. But that is not the case here. That's IP addresses, not DNS names.

It won't accept a blank input either. Possibly you haven't entered an entry for your windowmanager in your .xinitrc or .xsession file. startx uses .xinitrc, xdm uses .xsession.

5.3-RELEASE w/ IPSEC RACOON
Good Morning! I have a simple tunnel established between two FreeBSD machines. The tunnel is encrypted using IPSEC and Racoon. Prior to 5.3-*, I have never experienced any issues with it. Using the same configuration in 5.3-*, the tunnel is still established and simple traffic can be sent across the tunnel. When a sudden burst of packets is sent through the tunnel, that particular connection completly and permanantly freezes. An example of this is a simple SSH session to another FreeBSD machine where a dmesg is issued. About 5 lines into the dmesg, the connection freezes up. I have read a lot about the MPSAFE/GIANT situation in 5.3-*, and noticed that my kernel warned me that MPSAFE was forced to be disabled due to IPSEC's requirement to be in a GIANT-LOCKED environment. I havn't yet determined that this particular issue is what is causing my problems. When racoon is disabled and IPSEC is removed from the kernel, I do not experience this issue. Does anyone have any ideas or information? Thanks in advance!

Forgive me if this has been asked before. Is there any way to not have to re-customize ports whenever you do an upgrade? One that is particularly annoying to me is the interaction between amavisd-new and clamav. When clamav is installed (even via portupgrade), it sets ownership (uid and gid) of various directories to clamav:clamav. Unfortunately, amavisd-new wants vscan:vscan.

If you look at the security/clamav port Makefile you'll see within it: CLAMAVUSER?=clamav CLAMAVGROUP?= clamav where the '?=' assignment operator allows you to override that assignment, usually from the command line. So you can do: # cd /usr/ports/security/clamav # make CLAMAVUSER=vscan CLAMAVGROUP=vscan But I hear you say that's almost as onerous as having to run chown(1) on the various files anyway. However, you are using portupgrade(1). Look at the configuration file /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.cfg -- specifically, look at the 'MAKE_ARGS' array. If you edit the config file to add: 'security/clamav' = [ 'CLAMAVUSER=vscan', 'CLAMAVGROUP=vscan', ], to that array and then use portupgrade religiously for doing all of your port maintenance, then it will be installed with vscan:vscan ownership automatically.

issues booting 5.3
I downloaded the 5.3 bootonly disc this morning and was unable to boot. I had the same problem that I experienced with the 5.3-RC2 and also when I did a buildworld from 5.2.1. The kernel appears to be booting fine until it gets to a certain point where it will stop. The boot process stops right after listing my hdds or, if my orinoco card is in, after failing to initialize my wireless nic (which happens right after the hdd listing). The system is not locked as I still receive a message about not being ready to suspend from the acpi module when I push the power button on my tower. Also, it doesn't matter which boot option I use; the boot stops at the same place every time. Can anybody give me any pointers on how to go about diagnosing the problem here?

5.3 diskless PC 2 NICs: Can I separate NFS from other network trafic?
Hello, I have a master for a cluster of diskless slaves; the master serves the slaves over NFS (/, /usr, /home). I have two internet cards in all PCs, but only using one on the slaves right now.

Re: Naming confusion
don't worry about it. With XFree86, it is an issue. It appears that Xorg won't configure correctly without it. Although I won't swear that's the problem with Xorg. Unless you're trying to have someone outside reach your machine (as opposed to vice versa), you might as well just use whatever name the ISP you're currently connected to tries to give you. U, The computer with FBSD on it has not been connected to the Internet since last winter, when it had Win 98SE on it. I'm a truck driver who carries two computers in the truck with me, and seem to be collecting more older computers at home in Wyoming. In the truck, I always have one computer turned on. I get my loads over the Internet, get most of my news over the Internet, keep truck records, do my legal logbook, and keep in touch with my daughters who live in Europe, and learn about FreeBSD all with a laptop computer. The fact of the matter is that I can not even work without a working computer. I've been using my backup computer as a test bed for the various operating systems. M$ has never been real reliable. But my virus software seems to be blocking viruses almost daily which are aimed at one Microsoft product or another. It has become apparent to me that any computer that I have which is connected to the Internet needs to be using non-M$ products. I had hoped to make a painless transfer to one of the Linux or BSD products, much as I did about 11 years ago when I jumped from CBM and Apple computers to PCs. (13 years of using CBM computers and only a couple of years of using Apples.) So far, it has been anything but painless. The priorities of a UNIX system is far different then what I've experienced. And I have yet to get a UNIX type system developed enough to access the Internet. One challenge or another keeps cropping up. So, it seems that I'm hitting text books again, and asking questions during my spare time The question that I keep asking myself is if I can get to a point with FreeBSD, or any UNIX type system, where I am comfortable with it and I can make it adapt to my changing environment. At this point, I feel that if I can learn enough about it, FreeBSD is my best answer. My reasoning is that while newer programs are always put into usage on any OS, you can usually still manually configure everything with FreeBSD. Since many of the processes running on FreeBSD require a 'named' computer, I need to know how to handle this. Otherwise, as it says in The Complete FreeBSD book, there will be processes which will not run, or else they will not run correctly on my computer. The answer to this problem does not seemed to be addressed while using 'dhclient' in any of the printed information that I could find.

I'm confused by this. As I understand it, I get a different DNS assignment every time that I hook into the Internet from a different location. Yet FBSD seems to want a permanent assignment which I would normally get from my ISP. I don't have a permanent ISP. I mainly use 2 services at locations all across the USA. Normally I simply assign a name to the computer, but it appears that FBSD wants a complete Internet address. Unless you're trying to have someone outside reach your machine (as opposed to vice versa), you might as well just use whatever name the ISP you're currently connected to tries to give you. This appears to me to be a conflict. I think that I read in The Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition where there are some addresses to use if the computer will never be hooked into the Internet.
