RE: Strange problem with DSL modem.
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jason Osgerby Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 12:00 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: RE: Strange problem with DSL modem. Hi Ted, I enjoyed reading your email. Made me laugh, aside from realizing that I have a shitty DSL modem! Ah well. You wrote: You haven't said exactly how your DSL connection is setup. Is this PPPoA or what? Nor how your DSL modem is configured. We need to know that before helping. It was initially set to PPPoA after the auto setup process was run. Later, when I was playing around with it trying to make it work with FreeBSD, I changed it over to PPPoE. But it didn't make any difference, not that I really expected it to. I was just grabbing at straws. How is it configured? Well, what exact information do you need? I will be MORE than happy to provide any details that I can. Right now it is simply connected to the computer through the ethernet card. I haven't changed any of the settings from the default, apart from making the machine's IP the DMZ box to get around the firewall. Even that didn't make any difference. It is still timing out the fetch requests--which seems to be attempting to operate over HTTP--although it has no problems pinging anybody. This is a very bizarre problem. The DSL modem is already running the latest firmware, because I upgraded it as soon as I got the DSL up and running. OK, here's what I would advise you to do. First of all, don't use the NAT in the DSL modem. It's not a very good NAT and there's several advantages to having a public IP address on your FreeBSD system. To do this you need to set the DSL modem into transparent bridging. Go to http://192.168.0.1 and click on setup-advanced setup-begin advanced setup. The first page is informative, click next, the next page select Transparent Bridging, click Next. Keep clicking Next until you get to DHCP server, set this OFF, then click next a few more times till you get to NAT, turn that OFF also (very important!) Keep clicking Next until you get to Save and Restart, click that, the modem will reboot and become a pure bridge. Don't pick and choose the options in the modem setup on the left hand side, use the Advanced Setup wizard as detailed above! click next on ALL the screens even though most of them you won't be changing setup. Don't try to get smart and jump ahead by clicking save and restart on the bottom left before going through all the screens! MAKE SURE NAT IS OFF the ActionTec is so stupid that even in bridged mode if nat is on, it will still try natting the packets! Same with dhcp server. Even in pure bridged mode the actiontec still retains a mac access and and ip address of 192.168.0.1 You should do all this with Internet Explorer under your XP system as the ActionTec's internal webserver is unpredictable with different web browsers. It is also unpredictable with older versions of Internet Explorer, it's easy to get into states where it looks in the browser like you have configured it but when you click save and restart, the modem configuration doesen't actually change. Next, you need to setup PPP on your FreeBSD system per the following: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html Qwest.net and MSN use PPPoA which PPPoE for your purposes is essentially the same thing, the difference being one's over ATM the other's over Ethernet. An equivalent under XP would be to setup pppoe on xp, or winpoet on a lesser windows. Ted Thanks, Jason. Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Jason, I work for an ISP which is a Qwest Megahost and have dealt plenty with these and several other brands of modems on the Qwest network. I have dealt with the ActionTec people as well, and documented a number of bugs in earlier version of firmware for these modems, some of which have been fixed, others which haven't. You haven't said exactly how your DSL connection is setup. Is this PPPoA or what? Nor how your DSL modem is configured. We need to know that before helping. You should also know that the ISP I work at DOES NOT recommend or specify the ActionTec DSL modem for any corporate or business customers of ours - in short, not for any customer of ours who gives more than a fig about a reliable DSL connection. Frankly it is a shame - Qwest has dumped millions of dollars on pretty good back-end DSLAMs and such only to crap up their DSL network with those CPEs. The ActionTec is fine for the typical garden-variety home user who is so retarded that they refuse to run antivirus software because it's too expensive, and they refuse to regularly update their Windows system so it doesen't get stuffed full of viruses, and has a chip on their shoulder the size of Manhattan because someone dared to tell them they might actually, no God no I can barely say it - they might actually have to PAY A SLIGHT BIT OF REAL MONEY for a DSL
Re: My computer keeps crashing
This sure smells like a hardware problem. I think the problem might be due to my bios settings running the CPU to fast although I do not think I am overclocking it. This might explain the strange timing of the problem, maybe the motherboard is unstable. If you are not explicitly overclocking, the BIOS should be smart enough to run the cpu at or below its rated speed. Time to start checking the hardware. Here is what I would do. Check for stability after each step. 1. Wiggle Giggle: Reseat all cables, cards and RAM. Inspect CPU cooling. My Zalman cooler has an adjustable speed, at the moment it is on low, so I can turn this up to test it, I can also take off the side panel and so on. If I can get the CPU temperature monitor working then I can find out whereabouts it becomes unstable. 2. Turn off ACPI in BIOS. (someone correct me if I am crazy, I recall ACPI being problematic) Look for other weirdo BIOS settings. I don't think it is ACPI, I've had ACPI problems before but they always occurred only when booting from a freebsd installation. But I don't know enough about ACPI in FreeBSD to rule it out however. 3. Underclock CPU. (I did once get a bum CPU that was not stable at its rated speed and produced similar problems. Unlikely, but possible.) As mentioned in another reply, I ran the program on underclocked CPU last night and it is still running whereas with the CPU on its rated speed crashing was happening quite fast. I think the temperature hypothesis seems intuitively most reasonable and is the one I will test first. Of course, running the CPU at it's rated speed will presumably draw more voltage, this could then have compilated affects on other components, or could cause a PSU problem to manifest, I don't know but it seems like a reasonable hypothesis. 4. Swap in new RAM or run memtest86 5. Get rid of all peripherals, re-attach one at a time if this clears it up 6. Swap in new power supply (with that nice Antec this is unlikely... but not impossible... and a bad PSU can cause all KINDS of weirdness.) I'm going to try temperature first, but if that doesn't work, I'll try as many of these other things as I can.

Assuming you are using FreeBSD 5.x then yes, this is a known problem, there has been some traffic about this issue on this list in recent months. I filed a pr about a specific case of this a few weeks ago but it doesn't seem to have progressed. I have to say I think it is a major problem. It's becoming increasingly difficult to build FreeBSD machines with up to date commodity PC motherboards and large storage drives. SATA drives above about 200GB often seem to suffer from this bug under 5.x, so you need 4.x, which doesn't work with all up-to-date motherboards. So what do you do?

Re: My computer keeps crashing
Sometimes when I run CPU intensive applications the system will crash at seemingly unpredictable times, I have to hard reset the machine as it is completely unresponsive, I was running an experiment in console mode and it showed me the kernel panic: With those uptimes I would say your heat sink and fan(hsf) is to blame. The old idea about amds running hot is kind of crap, any cpu will run hot if not installed correctly or overclocked. You got that white stuff between the cpu and hsf? I think I recall putting the white stuff in. I checked your hsf on the net and in silent mode it does not support your cpu speed, though it does in normal higher speed fan mode. If you have the fan make sure to keep it in normal mode or it may bake your cpu! http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=33code=005009010 Damn! I should have researched this properly when I bought the heatsink. Thanks for that information, I'm lucky that you noticed this. Try this command several times after you boot. Then after you boot your box do it while under load. sysctl -a|grep thermal That will tell you your cpu temp, you'll need acpi on. If you did not put the hsf on right it will go up and you get problems like after 5 minutes or less. I set my bios heat alarm to go off and set a shutdown temp too. You might want to check that stuff out in your bios too. Go to amd.com and get that pdf on how to install the hsf, I made a mistake a month ago when I was switching out cpus and that was my problem. Everything else looks good, but do you have some case fans? OK, I think I had better invest in some, or some better cooling. I moved a 120mm fan over near my cpu and my 100% load temp while folding droped about 10C. I am overclocked and it was maxing out at about 58C or less. Now it hardly hits 50C, usaully 48C but it might go down to 45C if it is cool in my room. I wonder how it will do in the summer? :) I used that sysctl command you suggested above and it says 55C-55.5C -- this is for when running underclocked. I rebooted, put the CPU speed back to normal, left the fan on its dangerously low setting and then ran the program again, whilst checking the cpu temperature every second with: while [ 1 ]; do sysctl -a | grep thermal; sleep 1; done I observed the CPU temperature rise from a base of 50C at an approximately steady rate (I should have taken periodic readings too then I could have made a graph or something). It slowed down at about 57C (having took about 3-4 minutes to get there) or so but carried on rising, 58C...58.5C...59C...59.5C... kernel trap 11m33s (unfortunately I was setting up another process to run on another console so I never saw the final temperature). This was with CPU thermal throttling enabled and set to 50% in my bios (although I'm not sure at which temperature it enables as it doesn't seem to say) I turned the fan up to max, rebooted and ran the program again. The temperature seemed to stabilise around 52C. Given this information I think it is highly likely that the temperature hypothesis is correct, and the reason for the crashing.

Ethernet bridge/tunneling with tap/tun
I've been reading the handbook, the man pages and been trying to do some inventive maneuvers. I don't work. So, I have the bridge module loaded, I have the if_tap module loaded. I have activated the tap/tun device with 'cat /dev/tap0 |tun0'. How do I set up the bridge? I've read the manpage for ifconfig and tried a few times to bridge from my rl0 interface to some of the tap/tun devices. I get some different error messages, but mostly it complains that I use the wrong arguments. I think I have misunderstood how these ethernet bridges work. Are there anyone out there that have a webpage, or some other documentation of a working example of ethernet tunneling? Google finds me some linux stuff I don't find applicable. The big idea with all this is to get my simulated VAX to bridge its interface to my physical rl0 via tap0. But how? If nobody have any documentation to suggest, then I guess I'll have to do a step by step example of what goes wrong and hope someone can debug that.

My vinum volumes allowed me to survive for a long time without backups (bad idea, don't do that), and for the past years have allowed me to survive without having to restore my backups. This through about 5 failing ATA disks and multiple upgrades of the storage space. I'd say it was worth it for me, including reliability. If you need speed, or have the cash, etc, you can go for hardware RAID. But even there I've seen and heard horror stories of incompatible disks, spontaneously lost configurations or even worse, silent data corruption due to a bad disk. Just to interject such a tale, since we just had to put up with it... This was with a Windows 2000 server on a Dell with a Perc 3/di RAID controller, using four drives in a RAID 5 array. We came in to find that one of the disks had gone bad and the server was blinking red. Disk 2 was dead. Not a problem, with the Dells with a Perc card you just call it in, they send a new drive, you remove the bad and insert the new and it should start rebuilding! The wonder of hardware RAID...hot swap rebuilding to minimize downtime. Well...it wouldn't rebuild. Go around with the tech a couple times, and then ran the onboard diagnostics on the RAID controller...disk 2 was brand new, of course, so it was blank. Disk 3 kept showing about five bad blocks on it. Turns out that sometimes disks will have bad blocks that the array controller can't repair (even though in the utilities it would run the repair and not give any indication that the repair didn't work), and it didn't warn about the bad blocks either; those bad blocks will prevent the controller from rebuilding the array. The only solution? Make a full backup, replace the other drive as well, then rebuild the volume from scratch and restore your data. But hey, who needs a weekend anyway? :-) Hardware RAID should keep you running for awhile, but in this case, it was only a stopgap to buy some time.

Re: My computer keeps crashing

The old idea about amds running hot is kind of crap, any cpu will run hot if not installed correctly or overclocked. You got that white stuff between the cpu and hsf? I think I recall putting the white stuff in. I checked your hsf on the net and in silent mode it does not support your cpu speed, though it does in normal higher speed fan mode. If you have the fan make sure to keep it in normal mode or it may bake your cpu! http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=33code=005009010 Damn! I should have researched this properly when I bought the heatsink. Thanks for that information, I'm lucky that you noticed this. Try this command several times after you boot. Then after you boot your box do it while under load. sysctl -a|grep thermal That will tell you your cpu temp, you'll need acpi on. If you did not put the hsf on right it will go up and you get problems like after 5 minutes or less. I set my bios heat alarm to go off and set a shutdown temp too. You might want to check that stuff out in your bios too. Go to amd.com and get that pdf on how to install the hsf, I made a mistake a month ago when I was switching out cpus and that was my problem. Everything else looks good, but do you have some case fans? OK, I think I had better invest in some, or some better cooling. I moved a 120mm fan over near my cpu and my 100% load temp while folding droped about 10C. I am overclocked and it was maxing out at about 58C or less. Now it hardly hits 50C, usaully 48C but it might go down to 45C if it is cool in my room. I wonder how it will do in the summer? :) I used that sysctl command you suggested above and it says 55C-55.5C -- this is for when running underclocked. I rebooted, put the CPU speed back to normal, left the fan on its dangerously low setting and then ran the program again, whilst checking the cpu temperature every second with: while [ 1 ]; do sysctl -a | grep thermal; sleep 1; done I observed the CPU temperature rise from a base of 50C at an approximately steady rate (I should have taken periodic readings too then I could have made a graph or something). It slowed down at about 57C (having took about 3-4 minutes to get there) or so but carried on rising, 58C...58.5C...59C...59.5C... kernel trap 11m33s (unfortunately I was setting up another process to run on another console so I never saw the final temperature). This was with CPU thermal throttling enabled and set to 50% in my bios (although I'm not sure at which temperature it enables as it doesn't seem to say) I turned the fan up to max, rebooted and ran the program again. The temperature seemed to stabilise around 52C. Given this information I think it is highly likely that the temperature hypothesis is correct, and the reason for the crashing. Thanks cali At 60C it is supposed to throttle, but I think it just crashes. I think if you put an air duct next to your cpu that runs to a blow hole with a big fan you will get real low temps. The big fan should be sucking air out of the case if you do this. Make sure the hsf is mounted in the proper direction too, or it won't work. If the air leaving your psu is hot you know you need better case cooling. It should be warm, not hot.

I am a FreeBSD newbie, I am going to ask you a question that I have not been able to solve reading the manual. I am using 5.3 release. I have compiled a custom kernel in my old pentium 75 MHz machine to include the driver for my sound card. I added the following lines to the kernel config file device sound device snd_es137x and compiled the kernel perfectly. (long time ;-) ) But there is something that I do not understand well. When I look at the contents of /boot/kernel/ directory, I found that there are kernel sound modules *.ko for every sound card the kernel supports. Should not there be my sound card module alone? Does It mean that you have to compile all the stuff, even if you are going to use only one kind of sound card? Am I missing something? Your sound card has been build into the kernel itself (which is /boot/kernel/ kernel AFAIK). The *.ko are kernel modules, which you can load using the kldload command. So in case you get a new sound card, find out what driver it supports and you can use kldload yourdriver.ko to get support for your sound card without recompiling your kernel. Yes, I understand now. The problem is that my old pentium machine takes very long time to compile all the modules even if I am not going to use them. I would like to compile only the modules I use, to reduce compiling time. Is that possible? Refer to the option MODULES_OVERRIDE in man make.conf(5) if you wish to only compile certain modules.

Below is (posted on list) reply: FWIW, one of the reasons that there hasn't been as much interest in SCHED_ULE lately is likely that several of the features previously only present in SCHED_ULE are now also present in SCHED_4BSD -- for example, making more effective uses of IPIs in reducing latency during inter-process communication across processors. While SCHED_ULE does contain a number of interesting things not present in SCHED_4BSD, the 4BSD scheduler has hardly gone un-improved in that time. However, Jeff Robserson does seem to have picked up recently on both VFS SMP locking and ULE. The scheduler tracing and visualization tools he committed a couple of weeks ago are really quite neat tools. Robert N M Watson So we'll just have to wait until ULE is fully baked to see which scheduler is best for a given application.

'nat pass' not working in PF
I'm running pf in FreeBSD 5.3 on my laptop. The filters for the local box work fine. I'm also working on a pc for a friend; but ran out of ethernet ports in my router. This pc doesn't have a wireless adapter; so I adjusted my pf rules to use my laptop as a gateway for the pc. I want my filters to remain intact for the laptop; but I want nat to let all the pc's traffic through. (It has it's own firewall.) According the OpenBSD pf tutorial, adding the word 'pass' after 'nat' in the nat command will allow nat traffic to bypass the filter rules. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. If my default 'block log all' rule is left uncommented, I can only ping ip addresses (not host names that require nameservers). No other activity passes through. If I comment it out, all traffic passes; but my laptop is left unprotected. Any advice? The relevant lines from my pf rules follow: ifdev = ath0 natdev = fxp0 scrub in all no-df nat pass on $ifdev from $natdev:network to any - $ifdev icmp_types = echoreq block log all #other filtering rules follow Thanks, Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We have not found it necessary to remove the HD platters from their enclosures, although I imagine that might yield more thorough results. We just make two passes for better peace of mind. I also imagine that data on degaussed platters might still be available to the kinds of inspection techniques used on platters overwritten with random data, but our acceptable cost/reward balance tops off somewhere above preventing casual inspection and below stopping the NSA. One way that degaussing is more effective than random data writing is that the disk's servo tracks are also destroyed, meaning you'd probably need to return the device to the OEM for factory reconditioning before anyone could usefully attach it to another computer. I hope it's true, as that was our primary justification for the cost of the degausser. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is possible that it is a config issue with ipfw, but I am doubtful. The kernel does not have inet6 (ip6) compiled in and occasionally I see the ftp client resolving ip6 addresses which I find odd. It often does this resolving ftp.freebsd.org which I think is hosted at ISC. I've tried ipfw disable firewall and kldunload'ing the ipfw extension in the kernel. I can connect to ftp sites using firefox in x11 and from Linux windows on the same box with the same ip defined. My cable modem router has this system setup as the dmz. I looked at the fetch man page and it has an environment variable (man 3 fetch) FTP_PASSIVE_MODE. I've toggled this to yes and no in the environment with no effect. Also, I happen to have ip_portrange_first and ip_portrange_last set in /etc/rc.conf to 4000 and 8000 respectively. The system has a custom built kernel with SMP enabled as I have a dual xeon w/ htt disabled. I am at a loss why this is not working. Since I got the cable modem, I've noticed that pasv mode connections are flaky and i usually have to switch to port in windows ftp apps especially if the server on the other end is behind a firewall. I've tried toying with command line flags to ftp also. Sometimes -4 -A -a will get me into some ftp servers command line. It sounds like you have a new firewall (intentionally or not) in the form of your cable modem. Why do you have the portrange set low? The fact that you apparently have similar problems under other operating systems may indicate that FreeBSD can't actually solve this for you.

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? 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 to
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
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.

Aaron Dalton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What are the differences between print/latex and print/teTeX? Why are there two ports?

For more information have a look at the lengthy FEATURES file of the distribution. teTeX-base contains various utilities including TeX and dviware themselves.

[Repost] php log to own syslog file

I created a empty file for the log -
gladiator# touch /var/log/php.log
gladiator# ls -l /var/log/php*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Jan 20 16:37 /var/log/php.log
Then I HUPped syslogd -

/usr/sbin/syslogd -s
gladiator# kill -HUP 277
In my php script, Im using -

openlog('TESTING', LOG_NDELAY, LOG_USER);
syslog(LOG_INFO, $message);

But nothing is being logged to the file.

pf rules to use my laptop as a gateway for the pc.
I want my filters to remain intact for the laptop; but I want nat to let
all the pc's traffic through. (It has it's own firewall.) According
the OpenBSD pf tutorial, adding the word 'pass' after 'nat' in the nat
command will allow nat traffic to bypass the filter rules.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.
If my default 'block log all' rule is left uncommented, I can only ping
ip addresses (not host names that require nameservers). No other
activity passes through. If I comment it out, all traffic passes; but
my laptop is left unprotected.
Any advice?
The relevant lines from my pf rules follow:
ifdev = ath0

nat pass on $ifdev from $natdev:network to any - $ifdev

How about something like this:

Sound Support
Hello: I had a great multimedia experience with FreeBSD (much better than I expected). I have read the Handbook and FAQ, and successfully configured my two sound cards and NVIDIA video card. I enjoyed audio and video playback, and OpenGL games (gl-117, quake3, etc.). However I would like to do a final tuning. I have some questions: -- 1) pcm device numbering I have two sound cards connected to my machine: an integrated SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec), managed by the kernel module snd_ich and a PCI Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738), managed by the kernel module snd_cmi. I want to use my second sound card (Genius) as the default (pcm0, dsp0, dspr0, mixer0, etc.). If I load the kernel modules manually (with kldload) I obtain the desired results. But if I load them at boot time (with *_load=YES entries in /boot/loader.conf) the SiS card is detected first and used as the first output device (pcm0). I think that an rc.d script to do that will be very unprolix. Is there a way to specify the pcm device numbering manually (maybe with device.hints)? -- 2) MIDI support (sequencer and synthetizer) I saw that my Genius card shows a mixer entry called synth (I suppose it is the input device to record MIDI, if not, please inform me), but it has not a /dev/sequencer device. In my second machine I have a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) and it also has not a sequencer device (and it has not a mixer entry called synth). I have read in the page of the emu10kx driver (http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/) the following: WARNING: -CURRENT since 2004/05/31 23:22:59 PDT does not have MIDI subsystem! NEWMIDI was removed without replacement. Will be a MIDI sequencer (and synthetizer for SB Live!) in FreeBSD? -- 3) Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit Will be support for this sound cards (24-bit)? -- I have included the output of the following commands: 1) uname -a FreeBSD ale.varnet.bsd 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #10: Sat Nov 27 16:20:29 ART 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ATHLON i386 2) cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: CMedia CMI8738 at io 0xc800 irq 17 kld snd_cmi (1p/1r/4v channels duplex default) pcm1: SiS 7012 at io 0xdc00, 0xd800 irq 18 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/1v channels duplex) 3) kldload snd_cmi (log messages) pcm0: CMedia CMI8738 at io 0xc800 irq 17 kld snd_cmi (1p/1r/1v channels duplex default) 4) kldload snd_ich (log messages) pcm1: SiS 7012 port 0xd800-0xd87f,0xdc00-0xdcff irq 18 at device 2.7 on pci0 pcm1: [GIANT-LOCKED] pcm1: C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec 5) mixer -f /dev/mixer0 Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer bass is currently set to 50:50 Mixer treble is currently set to 50:50 Mixer synthis currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer igainis currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogainis currently set to 50:50 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic 6) mixer -f /dev/mixer1 Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogainis currently set to 50:50 Mixer line1is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phoutis currently set to 0:0 Mixer videois currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic 7) pciconf -v -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x06 card=0x07411849 chip=0x07411039 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS741 CPU to PCI Bridge' class= bridge subclass = HOST-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x chip=0x00031039 rev=0x00 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS648FX Virtual PCI to PCI Bridge (AGP)' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0: class=0x060100 card=0x chip=0x00081039 rev=0x25 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS PCI to ISA Bridge (LPC Bridge)' class= bridge subclass = PCI-ISA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:5: class=0x010180 card=0x55131849 chip=0x55131039 rev=0x00

I dont think so. These errors, that I want to log, are initiated by
the php function syslog() (look at the example above).
These messages are supposed to go to the syslogd daemon, not to httpd's
log file.
In the example above, if I change the priority from LOG_INFO to
LOG_WARNING,
the error messages go to /var/log/messages.
I just need it to start going to its own file.
The ultimate goal, is that I want to have a cluster of webservers,
logging to a central server.

Unattended 5.3 install post-configuration problem.
Hello everyone, I've setup an unattended automatic FreeBSD-5.3 install server. Clients boot via PXE and receive the OS in around 15 minutes using a sysinstall(8) script. I need to perfom post-install configuration, so I wrote a post_install.sh shell script which is called at the end of the sysinstall(8) script. My problem is that I can't get my post-install script to modify rc.conf(5) because sysinstall(8) re-writes the file and removes my configurations (all lines from rc.conf(5) starts with `#REMOVE' ). The sysinstall(8) man page only says: This utility may edit the contents of /etc/rc.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/resolv.conf as necessary to reflect changes in the network configuration. How can I prevent or circumvent this feature of sysinstall??? Any help would be really appreciated.

I set the port range low because i was following an ipfw tutorial when i set it up. I probably should change that :) Other operating systems work fine actually. I found the problem last night. I had changed the /etc/services file a few months ago to try to get a friend to connect to the ftp server because he was behind a weird firewall. I forgot about it. So by default fetch and ftp (cli) would use port 9000 instead of port 21. I feel a bit stupid on this one! I didn't realize that fetch and ftp used the value from /etc/services.

1st degree verbal assault and battery hate crime at Applebees
Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], Happy New Year to you. Well, I ended 2004 by being called a nigger several times by a white terrorist in APPLEBEES on December 30. The reason I'm posting you is to seek your advice as to what rights I have in a violent verbal assault, and hate crime situation like this. What would you do if something this devilish had happened to you? This is the second time this has happened to me in the same Applebees. The first time was about five years ago when I overheard a professional person using the N word to a white woman friend of his as they sat across from me at the bar. She was telling him that she had found a new boyfriend and thought that things were going to work out well for her. The fellow looked at her and then said I hope he's not a nigger I was astounded that he had said something so lowlife in a full club with about 20 people sitting at the bar and the rest of the tables nearby full as well. The bartender had been living with an African American male for over five years at the time. She looked astounded, and turned to me as if she couldn't believe her ears. I turned to the white people on each side of me, and asked them if they were going to say something to the person. They are always saying that they are not prejudiced. so this would have been the perfect time for some of them to back up their words with action. They did nothing! They just looked at each other in that silly HUH Head look that they utilize when they run into an idea that they had never considered before on the subject of race. The manager did come out and ask him to leave. He did so and to my knowledge he has never gone back. I have seen the fellow in other clubs where the clientele is more receptive to his modo di pensare. I did nothing official that time. This time I'm trying to determine what the best way to proceed would be. Here are most of the facts as to what occurred last Thursday, the 30th of December 2004. I went out to Applebees here in Cape Girardeau, Missouri around 2100. I sat on the north end of the bar next to several young white women. One of them was named VanMater from the Buick family here. I talked to them about various subjects for about 30 minutes and bought them some Frangelico. They had never tasted it so I thought I would let them sample something different since they were kind enough to talk to me a 58 year young African American. Most whites won't. Then they left and a friend of mine from Birmingham Alabama called me on his cell phone. We talked for about fifteen minutes about the state of the world and how savage, and inhumane so many Americans are in their thinking when it comes to how they view others around the world. Out of the corner of my right eye, I notice the young blond white woman to my right pushing a picture of a cute bi-racial child towards me. I picked it up and looked at it. Then I complimented the female on having a little girl that was so cute. After a few more minutes of talking to my friend, I hung up and started talking to the young blonde white woman, her female friend next to her, and her Canadian boyfriend to her right. The blonde's name was what it is. She said she was a hair stylist at a salon here. I was telling them about how my cousin owned the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team, and how there had been a couple of streets named after my mothers family around here. I was basically giving them a quick history on some black folks who were highly respected in this area. After about twenty minutes or so this 40ish white ball cap wearing, truck driver looking white fellow across the bar asked me when we had graduated from high school. I told him when I had graduated, and then N told him when she graduated. The white supremacist then said One of you is right, and one of you is a fucking nigger I picked up my cell phone and called the police as the Applebees manager was not on the scene. I had no idea what that piece of white trash would do next. After a few minutes Ed, the manager came over to the WS, and told him that he had to leave the club. The fellow got up and slowly walked toward the door selling wolf tickets all the way. The policeman arrived and he stood in the vestibule and talked to the manager of Applebees. He never came over and asked me anything; nor did he advise me of my rights in that situation. I'm one of the charter members of Applebees here. I have been going there since about six months after they opened in 1991, and I've never had a serious incident like this one So I went back to talking to the three people. Now of course we were talking about the white supremacist and his actions. One white 20ish female caught my eye, grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign. Apparently she was happy that he was gone. After about 20 minutes, another young white female stopped behind me and told me that the fellow was still in the parking lot in his truck. None of the

FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10
All, I have been evaluating operating systems/filesystems for an upcoming web application service. Like most web applications, it will rely heavily on the database and disk I/O. We have decided to use Postgresql for our database needs, but haven't finalized our OS choice. I have been testing the I/O performance of FreeBSD 5.3 and Fedora C3(XFS,EXT3). To be sure that I was using up to date versions of each OS I performed a cvsup and rebuilt the kernel (GENERIC) during the FBSD setup, and a yum update on the Linux install. Being fairly new to FreeBSD I was testing it as a matter of due diligence, however after using it for a few days it really started to grow on me. I was generally impressed with my overall experiance. However, after performing a number of I/O and Postgresql tests on different equipment, the performance proved to be considerably faster when using Fedora. Fedora with XFS was the clear performance winner in every test, followed by Fedora with EXT3, then FreeBSD. I was surprised to find such a dramatic difference between Fedora with XFS and FreeBSD. In almost every test Fedora(XFS) was dramatically faster performing the exact same operations on the same hardware. My best guess, is that FreeBSD 5.3 + updates is still in need of some performance tuning. Are there any good reasons for such a difference. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Running whatis on each module seems to take forever but it is how I did it. Maybe someone else knows of a quicker way. a...module_location+dmesg_output+whatis - PERFECT! That's enough to get rolling - GREAT!!! Here is the list of modules I have included in the MODULES_OVERRIDE directive. accf_data accf_http acpi agp aio amd aout bios cam cd9660 cd9660_iconv cp crypto cryptodev dc dcons dcons_crom fdc fdescfs geom i2c io libiconv linux lpt mac_biba mac_bsdextended mac_ifoff mac_lomac mac_mls mac_none mac_partition mac_portacl mac_seeotheruids mac_stub mac_test mem mii netgraph pccard ppbus ppi pps random rc rc4 re rndtest safe sem sound speaker splash syscons sysvipc ubsa ufs ugen uhid unionfs usb vesa vinum zlib I've probably included more modules than I will ever use, but I think it gives you an idea. You will *definitely* want to modify the modules to your specific hardware. Thanks for that! Unusually the handbook seemed somewhat sparse on such details, but to balance that out, there's obviously a finite limit on what they can and can't include. My problem was (paraphrased) I've hacked on MYKERNEL config file, read up on the traditional vs 'new way kernel building/installation *BUT* ...next comes modules, _now what_? and you've given me a great shot at understanding the next step, which is just as vital as those steps preceding it.

Re: 1st degree verbal assault and battery hate crime at Applebees
This is the wierdest spam I have ever seen, maybe it is to solicit responses to harvest email addresses for a particular kind of targeted advertising. Or maybe a ludicrous attempt at trolling. cali Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], Happy New Year to you. Well, I ended 2004 by being called a nigger several times by a white terrorist in APPLEBEES on December 30. The reason I'm posting you is to seek your advice as to what rights I have in a violent verbal assault, and hate crime situation like this. What would you do if something this devilish had happened to you? This is the second time this has happened to me in the same Applebees. The first time was about five years ago when I overheard a professional person using the N word to a white woman friend of his as they sat across from me at the bar. She was telling him that she had found a new boyfriend and thought that things were going to work out well for her. The fellow looked at her and then said I hope he's not a nigger I was astounded that he had said something so lowlife in a full club with about 20 people sitting at the bar and the rest of the tables nearby full as well. The bartender had been living with an African American male for over five years at the time. She looked astounded, and turned to me as if she couldn't believe her ears. I turned to the white people on each side of me, and asked them if they were going to say something to the person. They are always saying that they are not prejudiced. so this would have been the perfect time for some of them to back up their words with action. They did nothing! They just looked at each other in that silly HUH Head look that they utilize when they run into an idea that they had never considered before on the subject of race. The manager did come out and ask him to leave. He did so and to my knowledge he has never gone back. I have seen the fellow in other clubs where the clientele is more receptive to his modo di pensare. I did nothing official that time. This time I'm trying to determine what the best way to proceed would be. Here are most of the facts as to what occurred last Thursday, the 30th of December 2004. I went out to Applebees here in Cape Girardeau, Missouri around 2100. I sat on the north end of the bar next to several young white women. One of them was named VanMater from the Buick family here. I talked to them about various subjects for about 30 minutes and bought them some Frangelico. They had never tasted it so I thought I would let them sample something different since they were kind enough to talk to me a 58 year young African American. Most whites won't. Then they left and a friend of mine from Birmingham Alabama called me on his cell phone. We talked for about fifteen minutes about the state of the world and how savage, and inhumane so many Americans are in their thinking when it comes to how they view others around the world. Out of the corner of my right eye, I notice the young blond white woman to my right pushing a picture of a cute bi-racial child towards me. I picked it up and looked at it. Then I complimented the female on having a little girl that was so cute. After a few more minutes of talking to my friend, I hung up and started talking to the young blonde white woman, her female friend next to her, and her Canadian boyfriend to her right. The blonde's name was what it is. She said she was a hair stylist at a salon here. I was telling them about how my cousin owned the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team, and how there had been a couple of streets named after my mothers family around here. I was basically giving them a quick history on some black folks who were highly respected in this area. After about twenty minutes or so this 40ish white ball cap wearing, truck driver looking white fellow across the bar asked me when we had graduated from high school. I told him when I had graduated, and then N told him when she graduated. The white supremacist then said One of you is right, and one of you is a fucking nigger I picked up my cell phone and called the police as the Applebees manager was not on the scene. I had no idea what that piece of white trash would do next. After a few minutes Ed, the manager came over to the WS, and told him that he had to leave the club. The fellow got up and slowly walked toward the door selling wolf tickets all the way. The policeman arrived and he stood in the vestibule and talked to the manager of Applebees. He never came over and asked me anything; nor did he advise me of my rights in that situation. I'm one of the charter members of Applebees here. I have been going there since about six months after they opened in 1991, and I've never had a serious incident like this one So I went back to talking to the three people. Now of course we were talking about the white supremacist and his actions. One white 20ish female caught my eye, grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign.
