I am not doubting you that this was an issue. But it is now documented 
quite nicely in the mod_ssl faq 
(http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html). Also (as a side note), I 
use CAcert (http://www.cacert.org) for my key signing needs.

Thanks.  I had not used the -b argument, but I think I found the
problem: I have to put -a 10.0.0.0/24:* in order to accept messages from
something other than syslog.  I'm not sure what the router is calling
itself,but apparently syslog isn't it.  When I use the wildcard, it
works.

I had a feeling something like this would have come out of your
trap, so I took the precaution of e-mailing the people yesterday
who had filed PR i386/72579 yesterday.

The results are available here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72579

The original author of the PR has not responded, and the one followup
author responded to my query saying that it was bad hardware, and
that his other 75xx-based SuperMicro board works fine.

Your friend Boris who was the OP on this thread has also slunk
away and hidden since he has not posted a followup to the
PR in question either.

> 
> I posted exactly why 5.x is slower than 4.x,

If you know so much about it I suggest you open a new PR on the
topic so the development team can look into it.

Of course, to do this you have to actually OWN a system with one
of these chipsets, running FreeBSD 5.3.

We await your PR.

There's a hack I use that's detailed here:

http://ipfwstats.sf.net/

essentially a shell rc script runs at boot time to create an ipfw
'count' rule for each user on the server.  The counts are then collected
via cron at the end of each day and dropped into a mysql db.  The db can
then be queried by a php script from a web server to display statistics
to the end user/admin/etc.  Fairly simple but worked for me at the time.

Note the line:

"The current plans are for one more FreeBSD 4.X release which will be
FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE. It is expected the upcoming FreeBSD 5.3 release will
have reached the maturity level most users will be able to migrate to 5.X"

Keep an eye on the release notes for 4.11 when it goes golden.

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any FreeBSD drivers for Acard
controllers.  There are about 3 requests a year asking about Acard
support, so unless one of them volunteers to write a driver, you may be
better off getting a cheap Adaptec or Symbios card.

There were a number of gotchas that were serious EARLIER ON.
Here's a list of the ones I ran into:

1) The versions of IMP and Horde in the ports tree were old and had
security holes thus had to be scratched

2) X Windows is a dependency on one of the subsidiary programs so you
have to plan your disk partition strategy.

3) IMP's config file used the name wvHtml for the MS Word viewer and
first time I ran across this I spent at least an hour finding out that
this program had been renamed "wv"  (wv requires imagemagic which
requires X and a great many other programs)

4) IMP looks for user programs (like ispell) in /usr/bin not /usr/local/bin

5) many issues with getting Apache mod-SSL running properly with a
self-signed
key  (you have to generate it manually with openssl, the apache docs that
say use make key or whatnot don't work)

6) There's no list anywhere of what drivers in php IMP needs you have to
guess.
(ie: ldap)

7) Using a different imap server than uw-imap might cause trouble with php,
as that port installs the uw-imap client libraries.

8) All kinds of dumb-ass file naming issues with default config files from
when php went to php4.  (ie: .php3 to .php)

9) uw-imap that ports installs was old and had security hole

10) php.ini and local.inc in phplib supplied by Horde has wrong pathnames in
it

11)  php.ini doesen't have extension-imap.so and mysql.so in it

12) Not clear that dirs horde-1.2.3 and imp-2.2.3 need to be renamed
horde and imp

13) - the instructions place phplib into the document root, and local.inc is
in there, so a command like:

https://machinename.com/horde/phplib/local.inc

Will open up the local.inc file in all it’s glory.  You can
you can move phplib from /usr/local/www/htdocs/horde/phplib to
/usr/local/www/phplib and change all the references to point to there.


Most of these are due to misinterpretaitons of the install docs, which
exist because the install docs were written by someone who thinks that
concise writing  is a good thing with instructions.

Re: ATi and Xorg Troubles in FreeBSD 5.3

[Joe Altman]

Doug, Ronny...

I'm running 4.11 with xorg 6.8.1, built from source on December 28,
2004 using a Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x on an IBM ThinkPad A20m. I have
a default depth of 24 bits, and a resolution of 1024x768. I am using
the ati driver.

Ronny: I see that the query is for 5.3, but I thought that perhaps my
experience would indicate that the ATI chip seems to work fine w/ the
most recent version of xorg; or rather, the source as it existed on
December 28th.

Doug: I remember that you and I encountered the same issue, back in
September or thereabouts, WRT the ATI chip? I'm happy to report what
is above: it seems to be safe to use the ati driver w/ the newest
source for xorg and the chip in question.

HTH, best regards,

Joe

Is the disk in the machine running Windows 2000?  If so, you will want
to ensure that you have enabled Big LBA support on the Windows side,
if you haven't already.  There's a 137GB barrier in Windows 2k that can
cause major data loss, as I learned the hard way.  I don't know if it
has any impact on Samba, but since the drives are on either side of the
barrier it's worth looking into.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305098/EN-US/
If you haven't enabled this yet, do it.  If you don't you will lose
data, you will lose data, you will lose data.  Even if you haven't
lost data yet, you will.  It might not make Samba work, but it will
make Windows 2000 work.

Danny
P.S.  I'm not kidding.  If you love your data (and who doesn't), go
enable 48 bit LBA.

m'gettying closer! (was Re: modem not responding to mgetty)

[Timothy Luoma]

Update on progress on project "ppp dialin".  I am following the 
instructions at 
http://node.to/freebsd/how-tos/how-to-freebsd-pppserver.html.

On the advice of Charles Ulrich on FBSD-Questions, I bought a serial 
modem Creative Modem Blaster v.92 Model DE5621.  I shut off the 
machine, hooked up the modem (removed the old PCI modem) and rebooted.

Here's the relevant configuration that I have (note: 5.3, standard

I am unsure about several things
-  should be using cuaa0 or ttyd0 (I am using mgetty)?
	- are the 'set ifaddr' lines right in ppp.conf? I'm using 192.168.1.x 
and have selected unused IP addresses in that range

$ fgrep mgetty /etc/ttys|fgrep -v '#'
ttyd0  "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200" dialup on secure

RE: IPFW and whois lookup

[V Foulk]

Thanks for the reply,

# ipfw list
65535 allow ip from any to any

I did have more elaborate rule sets that worked great, with the
exception of the whois/hostname lookups.
I ran cvsup and installed world/kernel, using the same firewall rule
as above.

The problem seems to have stopped (as of this writing)
The OS is running on an old 500mhz machine, and only the RAM
is new. I had to replace the old 128MB card with a couple new ones, since
the
old card failed a memory check. Since this last recompile, all has been well
and I thank you again for your response.

The output of `ipfw list` would be very helpful.

Re: NDISAPI in the kernel

[scott renna]

Thanks for the help Lowell.  It happened to be I
needed to make another change that, after searching a
bit more, located.  It's in the kernel and it's
running flawlessly.  There are no more intermittent
drops in connectivity as there were when I was using
the atheros driver.  Same exact configuration on ndis0
as was on ath0, but running on the NDIS drivers it
runs much better.

For what it's worth, I too am using ehci with a USB2 HD based MP3 player, and
it is being reported similarly as well in regard to the 1.000MB/s transfer
rate.  However, according to `systat -vmstat`, I am seeing transfers in the
area of 8MB/s.  In regard to stability, I've had no issues at all with it.

I'm sure this doesn't help at all. ;p

umount gpt partitions

[joseph kacmarcik]

hello's!

forgive me if i've missed something obvious, am feeling flu-like but need to get
a project done.

i'm using freebsd 5.3 with gpt partitions to get filesystems more than 2TB, but
when i umount and mount again, i always get: 'WARNING: /filesystem was not
properly dismounted'.

should i do something other than umount for gpt filesystems?

RSS feed with ``crawl''?

Folks,

Does anybody know if there are any FBSD RSS ports that
will do a horizontal scroll (in whatever GUI app)?  

On one BBC site they have this for all browsers...but
to get their custom feed require Doze, I think.  Custom app.

It'd be nice to pop over to my Browser workspace at 
read the hourly news instead of having to bring up
an audio feed on the hour.  (Yes, I am getting *lazy*...
I admit it :)

The last I remember, the ehci driver was closer to alpha than
beta quality (as in both flakey and feature-sparse).  You should
probably check the usb@ mailing list archives and even the commit
logs for more information.

I'd say those who are familiar are using 5.x.  Maybe the time to switch is
near?

Looks like you're missing the driver for your server's SCSI card.
GENERIC should have all the SCSI drivers built in, though.  Maybe it's a
supported card using a new PCI ID.  What does "pciconf -lv" say for that
slot?

Getting USB2 on FreeBSD 5.3?

[Paul Hoffman]

Greetings again. I have a no-name USB 2 controller card in my server 
running FreeBSD 5.3. I rebuilt the kernel with the ehci driver 
(simply by adding a line to copy of GENERIC and rebuilding). The box 
already has two USB 1 ports. The dmesg says:

. . .

uhub3: (0x1166) OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered

When I plug in a USB 2 IDE adapter to the USB 2 card, I see:
umass0: Myson Century, Inc. USB Mass Storage Device, rev 2.00/a3.01, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 114473MB (234441648 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 14593C)
The transfers happen at USB 1, not USB 2 speeds, which is of course 
not what I want.

I can't tell why da0 is getting the slow (USB 1) mode. I also can't 
figure out what the heck ohci2 is; there is only the on-board USB 1 
ports (which I assume are ohci0 and ohci1) and the card (which is 
clearly ehci0). Is ohci2 possibly also running on the add-in card and 
stomping on ehci0?

I guess a related question is how can I tell what device umass0 
thinks it is plugged into?

Booting problems

[Kövesdán Gábor]

Hi,

I have an amd64 server machine with a 3ware 8506-4lp raid controller and
succeeded in installing the FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE on this machine in safe
mode, but it boots only in safe mode. I've upgraded the kernel to stable,
but there's no result.
I don't know what's the difference between the safe mode and the normal
mode, in fact. Anyway, I'd like to play around with the setings, and when
there isn't a better solution, then I'd rather change the default boot
method to safe mode.
Please give me some advices, otherwise I'll get out of the time. The next
week is the deadline, the server should work until then.

Best regards,

Gábor Kövesdán

Is there a problem with syslogd -a?

[Anthony Atkielski]

Is there any kind of problem with syslogd and the -a option? I've tried
all sorts of variations (-a 10.0.0.x, -a 10.0.0.x/24, -a
myrouter.mydomain, -a myrouter.mydomain/24, etc.) and it just doesn't
seem to let anything through. Starting syslogd without any option works
(my router can write to the system log--both are on my internal LAN);
starting it with the -a option for a little more security prevents
anything at all from being written. Am I doing something wrong, or is
there a bug? I don't necessarily need the extra security (no syslog UDP
traffic can enter the LAN from the outside, anyway), but it would be
nice if I could get this option to work.

Just note that they "say" its supported, but if you want to use the latest 
Intel 
CPUs (800Mhz FSB Xeon64), they don't work in 4.x. Sadly noone in the
FreeBSD universe is even familiar (it seems) with new server MBs.

Re: Supermicro Hardware and FreeBSD

[Tm4528]

If you nor any of the FreeBSD developers "know" about the 75xx series of 
chipsets, then I guess that explains why the score is Linux 87, FreeBSD 2. and 
getting worse by the day. Nicely done. What are you developing on, gaming 
machines? Why have you trashed the OS to strengthen SMP computing when you 
don't even 
know what chipsets are required to run the latest SMP processors?

What's really scary is that you'd rather come up with 35 reasons not to do 
something than to spend 10 minutes trying to find out what you don't know.

I posted exactly why 5.x is slower than 4.x, and its not "because its 
bigger", you blubbering moron. Thats the kind of answer I'd expect from my 
secretary.

As far as I know there are currently no plans for any more 4.x releases
beyond the upcoming 4.11.
Security fixes will however be applied to 4.x until Jan 2007
(according to http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html)

Considering that relatively few changes have been made to 4-STABLE
between the release of 4.10 and 4.11 and considering that this rate of
change will probably slow down even further as time goes on and most
developers move over to 5.x there probably will be too few changes
applied to 4.x to warrant a 4.12 release anytime soon.

FreeBSD is in the middle of releasing 4.11, and has committed to 
providing extended support for 4.10 through May 31, 2006 and for 
RELENG_4 (meaning 4.11, or later if need be) through January 31, 2007.

I've updated ports via slow connections many times without too much trouble.  
The first update may take a while, sure, but keeping it current should be 
pretty easy.  You could even download a tarball of the ports collection to

Sony autoloader

[Jeff Tollison]

Hello,

I have having difficulties setting up a Sony AIT-1 External Autoloader
TSL-SA300C to work with FreeBSD 5.3.  When I boot the system, I get this:

.
.
.
pci1:  at device 7.0 (no driver attached)
.

.

I have a GENERIC kernel, so I have the "device scbus" and "device ch"
installed in the kernel.


Any ideas?

You can install the GAG boot manager:

and then tell it to boot into either Win98SE or FreeBSD.
It'll work fine with whatever state your existing MBR is in,
within reason.

It has been stated that they hope 4.11 will be the last release 
in the 4.xx track.   That is due out at the end of January.
I don't think that 4.11 being the last out is hard and fast yet though.

I don't see much discussion of stability or security issues with 5.3+ - 
only some gripes about it being a little slow and some comments that
not all the debug code has yet been removed which accounts for a 
portion of the slowness in some things - network response, I think.

Memory issues on 4.10 server

[Mark Edwards]

I'm having two weird memory issues that have cropped up on my 4.10 
server:

1) Apache runs away and creates tons of processes and eventually takes 
down the server, eating up tons of processes.  I see regular 
notifications like the following:

Jan  6 07:25:09 lilbuddy /kernel: pid 16828 (httpd), uid 80: exited on 
signal 6

I've taken to restarting Apache once an hour, which has curtailed the 
problem for now.  But I would love to figure out why this is happening 
and so far have not been able to find many clues.  The only 
Apache-related thing that has changed in the last several months is 
adding phpbb to the server.

2) snmpd also has had some freakouts where it eats up more and more 
swap space until it no longer functions.  Restarting snmpd clears the 
problem.  I'm using snmpd in conjunction with MRTG.

This phenomenon does not seem to take down the server, surprisingly.  
It still functions relatively responsively.  This doesn't happen 
regularly and I haven't seen it in a few days so I don't see a pattern 
yet.  It is perhaps related to the Apache problem.  Its hard to say, 
because when Apache freaks out, it starts to take the server down and 
that affects all sorts of things.

Obviously I'm not onto the source of these issues, because my efforts 
to identify that have so far been in vain.  Anyone who can give me some 
advice would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

 As I already explained here on this list, the key to getting burncd to
work right was to copy the image file from the Windows XP partition into a
FreeBSD partition to use as input to burncd.  That worked fine for CD-RWs,
though not as well for CD-Rs.  The earlier failure of burncd to produce a
bootable CD-R was apparently caused somehow by having burncd read directly
from a Windows XP partition mounted onto /mnt.
 That's it for the re-explanations, folks.  Please don't post followups
in this thread if you haven't been following it.

Is the disk in the machine running Windows 2000?  If so, you will want
to ensure that you have enabled Big LBA support on the Windows side,
if you haven't already.  There's a 137GB barrier in Windows 2k that can
cause major data loss, as I learned the hard way.  I don't know if it
has any impact on Samba, but since the drives are on either side of the
barrier it's worth looking into.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305098/EN-US/

If you haven't enabled this yet, do it.  If you don't you will lose
data, you will lose data, you will lose data.  Even if you haven't
lost data yet, you will.  It might not make Samba work, but it will
make Windows 2000 work.

P.S.  I'm not kidding.  If you love your data (and who doesn't), go

However, please note the response that mentions using 
HOLD_PKG in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf; that'll save
you from having to use -x at all.

a dirty solution is to press ctrl-c when OOo tries to build, i know

without any complaints :)

If you are using portmanager see this thread to see how to avoid

linux_base-6 will never have the security vulnerability fixed because
it's not supported by redhat.  linux_base contains redhat 8.x which is
also out of support, but does not currently have security problems.
It will be updated to something more modern after 4.11-RELEASE.

Re: netstat odd behavior

[mario . lobo]

That´s it !!

I´ve been having trouble with a sk0 gigabit ethernet and updated the kernel to 
5_CURRENT
to update it with jumbo frame support, But userland was updated to RELENG_5_3 
only !!

I knew about that but the system ran smooth after compiling the new kernel,
I did not think it would make a difference.

My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out, Giorgos.

This is a function of the FreeBSD kernel, not of the C compiler.  The

Looks like you're trying to install packages, not ports.  You forgot
to mention which ISO image you used (some don't have packages, and
there are only a handful of packages on the disc 1 image).  You also
forgot to mention which version of FreeBSD you're using.

Hi,

regarding my current install of linux_base

#portupgrade -l "<" doesn't reveal this package needs upgrading
but portaudit -a says:

Affected package: linux_base-6.1_6
Type of problem: xpm -- image decoding vulnerabilities.

I've followed that url, googled and searched the -questions archive
but can't find any information regarding how to correct this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Are you sure you don't have a kernel and userland that are out of
sync?  You _did_ update both as the instructions in src/UPDATING

try :  Xorg -configure
that should give you a temp. config-file to test, and if that is working
fine copy that config-file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

About ports dist

[Martin Gonzalez]

Hi..

I have 2 very quick questions/comment about installation from the FreeBSD CDs, 
and X-window:

When I try to install the X.org distribution, it sends an error message that 
says it cannot find the packages/INDEX on the specified media. I checked on the 
CD 2, and there it is, the full ports collection, but the index file is named 
INDEX-5 instead of INDEX, so I think it might be the problem.

If someone knows how to install all ports from the CDs, can you tell me to this 
mail, I will be very thankful for it..!

The second question is: when I execute 'Xorg' at the prompt, it starts the 
graphics display, but I have no windows nor desktops, nothing but the mouse 
pointer. Do I have to install something else ? (Maybe from ports collection - 
which one?)

I am relatively new to UNIX, my platform is i386, I downloaded the ISO CD 
images from the ftp site and I burned those images to the CDs (I see the 
files/dirs on the CD, not the ISO file itself)

Thanks!

You should know there already is one /usr/sbin ... which will be

You should not have any problems moving /root to elsewhere other

Re: Remote upgrade possible?

On Jan 7, 2005, at 12:33 PM, Danny MacMillan wrote:
I haven't looked at the code, but your assertion is extremely unlikely.
I really want to say "impossible" but as I said, I haven't looked at
the code.  If FreeBSD loaded entire executable images into RAM when
starting new processes, it would perform very poorly.  What is more
likely is that the kernel keeps the image file open during program
execution.  When the xterm binary is replaced, the old binary is still
on disk in its old location, it just doesn't have any directory
entries pointing to it.  Since the kernel still has the file open it
won't be overwritten.  Hence the kernel can and will still load
pages from the old image.  This is a function of the same behaviour
that causes df and du output to differ in some cases.
The lsof(8) utility seems to bear this out, as each process seems to
keep each image (program and shared object files) open during
execution.
A new instance of xterm would use the new, upgraded binary.
When you run a program the program that runs the new one makes a copy 
of itself in the process table and they share code pages. This is done 
through fork(). At that point the new process, called the child, calls 
one of the exec() function calls which in turn calls a single syscall, 
execve(). execve() uses namei() to get the vnode pointer. Each vnode 
pointer has three ference counts, v_usecount, v_holdcnt and 
v_writecount. A vnode is not recycled until both the usecount and 
holdcnt are 0. When namei() is called it calls VREF() which is vref() 
which does

vp->v_usecount++;
so if it's running the page can't be recycled from a point in time 
before the program actually is loaded in to memory. execve() calls 
exec_map_first_page(). Without tearing this apart I'm going to guess 
that this memory maps the first page of text (code) through the VM 
subsystem as evidenced by the conspicuous calls to vm_page*() functions 
so I'd conclude the file is memory mapped. Presuming it turns out the 
command you're calling isn't a shell script or other script execve() 
cleans up the environment so file descriptors and signal handlers don't 
get shared, the processes environment is setup, lets the calling 
(forking) process know it can continue on it's merry way, sets uid/gid 
if necessary/possible, and it looks like the scheduler takes care of 
the rest  (I'll be honest here, the code seems to trail off here so far 
as I can tell in to parts that are jumped to in case of error). In any 
case we have a increased usecount.

Now we are going to unlink that file and create a new one.
After some basic checks (you can't remove the root of a file system for 
example) unlink() will call VOP_REMOVE() which calls vrele() which 
deincrements the usecount when it's greater than one, which in this 
case it MUST be because the xterm process has one count on it and the 
file entry has another (hard links to the file may have additional 
counts on it).

Therefore it appears that you can unlink the file, it will remain on 
the disk to serve the memory mapped image used for the running process 
and install a new copy. I'm going to presume when a process exits it 
de-increments the usecount for the vnode, which, when 0 should put the 
page on the free list.

I still had the bad user interface fonts, but I found that to be a

minor 'ticks' snuggled inside my r's, n's, e's and g characters, but not 
nearly as bad as before. I just started using Xorg over Xfree86 this 
week, and apparantly, font handling, or at least the ports are a little 
different.

i'm using 5.3 on the desktop (daily), and i have no problems with it at 
all, but then again i've installed this from a 5.3 RELEASE cdrom,
and that has xorg as default

perhaps you have to reinstall (portupgrade -rf) a few fonts ?
Just a couple more questions:
If I keep my ports tree cvsup'd every day, I'm going to have:
openoffice-1.1.3 < needs updating (port has 1.1.3_1)
We generally do a "portupgrade -a" to upgrade ports unless 
/usr/ports/UPDATING affects us. How can I get around the openoffice 
discrepency since a portupgrade -a will always try build it again and 
end up failing?
a dirty solution is to press ctrl-c when OOo tries to build, i know from 
experience that portupgrade simply continues with the rest without any 
complaints :)

but i assume in the Makefile (in the OOo-portsdir) one can put an IGNORE 
somewhere

Re: copying from DVD drive causes crash: vm_fault: pager readerror, pid 13421 (cp) on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE

Does it panic or hang?
The DVD has errors on it which is why you can't read it.. Obviously the OS 
crashing when presented with bad media is not a good thing :)


The box hang.
The media is all right, I tried it on a FreeBSD 4.10 box and a Windows box 
(equipted with the

Writing 'clear' images to the drive results in corrupted media, either DVD

Live and learn. That worked, guess I can read up on su myself to understand

One thing that does occur to me: what is your user's shell and, if it
isn't bash, do you have bash installed? And have you changed the root
shell from csh? I suspect the latter.
I'm not even aware of how to know the answers to these.

No need now, is there?
The keyboard will almost certainly work after a reboot.
That's good to know.
If not, you've got other worries with that machine anyway.
True enough.
You can get a shell with root privileges from sysinstall and make your link.
Got onto root with su, instead of su - which as you already know was 
failing on me.

Move /sbin back, though. This was a bad thing to relocate.
Done. Now I have

SCSI HD issue ...

[Tom Vilot]

Picking up on that SCSI hardware problem I posted about earlier ...
I'm in the process of installing a second HD which will,
hopefully, be the replacement for the one I believe is flaky.
I've installed the second drive. I used dd to copy over
to each partition (Yes, I know this is not the right way
to do that ... I'll be using dump or tar next time.
Thanks to Subhro for pointing that out...)
However ... Now I have the following situation:
da2 is the "bad" disc that I am  still using.
da0 is going to be the new disc.
Somehow, I have managed to replace da2s1a with
da0s1a as the / partition:
/dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local)

I haven't looked at the code, but your assertion is extremely unlikely.
I really want to say "impossible" but as I said, I haven't looked at
the code.  If FreeBSD loaded entire executable images into RAM when
starting new processes, it would perform very poorly.  What is more
likely is that the kernel keeps the image file open during program
execution.  When the xterm binary is replaced, the old binary is still
on disk in its old location, it just doesn't have any directory
entries pointing to it.  Since the kernel still has the file open it
won't be overwritten.  Hence the kernel can and will still load
pages from the old image.  This is a function of the same behaviour
that causes df and du output to differ in some cases.

The lsof(8) utility seems to bear this out, as each process seems to
keep each image (program and shared object files) open during
execution.

A new instance of xterm would use the new, upgraded binary.

IPFW and whois lookup

[V Foulk]

Hello,

I have recently setup IPFW on a test box, and
found that (for the most part) it was pretty straight
forward.  Every rule and service on the box seems to work
great, except for one problem I haven't been able to track
down.  Regardless of the settings, even when set to open as
default with only the allow all from any to any rule, whois and
hostname lookups fail.

This problem prevented clamav from updating, and a whole 
slew of other minor issues that pop up in the logs.  I was hoping
someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed?

When IPFW is enabled:
When the service uses the local NS, a manual whois gives:
whois: connect(): No route to host

When the service uses the upstream NS, a manual whois gives:
whois: com.whois-servers.net: hostname nor servname provided, or not known

(NS as set in resolv.conf)

The only way I can make the error 'go away' is to disable ipfw in rc.conf
and reboot.

I am certain that this is just a silly oversight on my part.
The machine is running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p13, please let me know if
there
is any other information I can provide that will be useful. Thank you very
much,
in advance, for the help.

Sort of. Sometimes, not often, just plugging a ps2 keyboard into a
running machine won't work. It's also capable, even more rarely, of
damaging the motherboard.

I still have the machine on which I moved /root available and here's
what happens:

-bash-2.05b$ ls /
COPYRIGHT   dev kernel.GENERIC  nonexistent stand
bin distkernel.old  procsys
bootetc mnt razor-agent.log tmp
cdrom   homemodules sbinusr

boothomemodules.old stand

%pwd
/usr/home/peter

One thing that does occur to me: what is your user's shell and, if it
isn't bash, do you have bash installed? And have you changed the root
shell from csh? I suspect the latter.

The keyboard will almost certainly work after a reboot. If not, you've
got other worries with that machine anyway. You can get a shell with
root privileges from sysinstall and make your link. Move /sbin back,
though. This was a bad thing to relocate.

Re: openoffice on 5.3-RELEASE

[Duane Winner]

Thanks! I was able to find OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz and get 
that installed and working.
I still had the bad user interface fonts, but I found that to be a 
problem with my xorg config, and I (mostly) fixed it. I sitll have some 
minor 'ticks' snuggled inside my r's, n's, e's and g characters, but not 
nearly as bad as before. I just started using Xorg over Xfree86 this 
week, and apparantly, font handling, or at least the ports are a little 
different.

Just a couple more questions:
If I keep my ports tree cvsup'd every day, I'm going to have:
openoffice-1.1.3 < needs updating (port has 1.1.3_1)
We generally do a "portupgrade -a" to upgrade ports unless 
/usr/ports/UPDATING affects us. How can I get around the openoffice 
discrepency since a portupgrade -a will always try build it again and 
end up failing?

Also, what are the folks up on ootranslation.services doing to get this 
package built that can't be done with the source for 1.1.3_1 on 5.3, why 
can't this port on 5.3, and if it is failing, shouldn't it be marked as 
'broken' on 5.3?

Thanks for any info.
Cheers,
DW

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.

Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed t

Peter, are you saying that it's possible my keyboard isn't working because 
the console hasn't been used for a very long time? If so, why isn't 
rebooting the easiest thing to do?

> Have one idea. Samba is set up and I can access from my windows

That won't work.
I realized that after sending the msg. Because Samba doesn't override the 
permissions on / which are rwxr-xr-x, right?

What about toor? Isn't that a fallback to root? I've never understood what 
that was about... you're likely getting a good idea of my skill level about 
now. :)

No - you ought to be able to su to root still.
But how?
%su -
Password:
su: no directory
%

I checked this before the original answer because, although I wasn't 
recommending your directory moves, just telling you how to avoid linking 
individual binaries and files by doing the whole directory, I didn't even 
want to do that if I
thought it would cause a prob like this.
Hey it's all a learning experience. Fact is it's not even keeping me from 
doing the work I was originally out to do... don't need root for that.

What clobbered the space on my / - besides having too small an allocation - 
was using Perl's cpan shell. By deleting /root/.cpan recursively I've fixed 
that issue. The greater issue is, as has been said, learning to do this on 
another directory like /usr.

If you can boot onto a FreeBSD CDROM it'd be easy to fix this. Can you?
I still have the 4.8 mini-iso the system was installed with. But I need the 
console to do this right? Any way I can be sure that the ps2 port/mobo 
isn't what's really shot? Or does it even matter?

Its not totally obvious, but to connect to the 3dmd2, you need to talk

Thanks for the tip... but still didn't work.  I have set the port to 80,

Use the default 888.  It seems to get confused occasionally when its not on 
that port (although I have a few RELENG_4 boxes on non standard ports that 
work fine). I have a couple of boxes running RELENG_5 on the 7xxx and 8xxx
