Reparing FreeBSD ports tree.
Hi everyone. My primary question is how to repair a broken ports tree. I did a portupgrade to CVS FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE, and now my ports tree ist all screwed up. There are tons of wrong/failed/whatever dependencies and some ports wont work. How can I repair this problem without an complete reinstall of the system? I have a lot of services running for my local net and a huge amount of configurations. For exsample when I do /usr/ports/make index I get: -- # make index Generating INDEX - please wait..apsfilter-7.2.5_5: /usr/ports/print/acroread5 non-existent -- dependency list incomplete === print/apsfilter failed *** Error code 1 1 error The second question is who to reinstall e.g. apache without uninstalling all the stuff that depends on it? e.g. When I did the portupgrade I obviously did something wrong, and now the xml module is missing, which is needed by some of my web aps. I would be very glad if someone could point me out the nessesary steps to clear this mess. I really thought about an complete reinstallation of the system, but everytime I install a new system I rn into dependency problems with the ports collection, as one app requires a version of an tool, but another dependence stops me from reinstalling the newer version. Is there an general guideline to prevent this? thx a lot in advance Christian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any way to get an audio representation of packet flow?
Ok, this may be odd to many, but here's what I want: I like tcpdump's powerful ways of selecting and analyzing specific portions of packet traffic, but I want a real-time way to represent the results. I am blind, so graphs don't help. grin Usually all I want to know is the pattern of packet match frequency vs. time, so a little click for each matching packet would translate nicely into what I'm looking for. My normal tactic involves directing output from tcpdump to /dev/audio or even /dev/pcaudio: tcpdump -l -n [... rules for traffic ...] /dev/audio is the first trick I tried. Problem: It causes me to get kernel errors like runt packet and such, presumably because it adds too mmuch overhead to packet processing somehow. (This is a P166; maybe that problem wouldn't exist on faster hardware?) My next trick was like tcpdump -s 1 -w /dev/audio [... rules for traffic ...] No errors this time, but the output of -w is buffered regardless of -l (which normally makes a lot of sense, of course), so it wasn't very real-time. I currently run FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, but I'd be interested in any solutions requiring 5.x features as well, for future planning. Please Cc me if you have any ideas.

It all depends on how you have Apache configured, but a typical configuration would require that you reference the CGI script with something like http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgiprog.pl The extension on mycgiprog depends on what form the CGI takes; .pl is for Perl programs. Your Apache server has to be configured to either treat all files in a certain directory (usually cgi-bin) as executable programs, or to recognize certain extensions as executable programs, or both. Note that there are many security issues with providing something as sensitive as a password-changing program on your Web server, so take great care in your implementation. (And remember that Apache normally does not execute as root, so it cannot change passwords in executable CGI programs without special configuration.) -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A: Likely not the same ip - but posibly from the same block of ip's = won't help much to block specific ip's. Q: Do you consider it plausible that after a few days legitimate connections will originate from those ip's? A: Likely not, but if so, you have no way of predicting from which ip and when = if you need open access, then blocking temporary will block legitimate connections, if not, then opening again will open for ilegitimate connections. Q: Is your system more vulnerable after failed login attempts to non existent accounts? A: Your system will only be more vulnerable if you can assume the attacker will come back and continue from where he left off. But, changing passwords will not help, unless you choose something that has been tested and you know he will not test the same password twice. Conclusion: If you can setup fixed rules for where legitimate connections will originate, do so and block everything else. Otherwise, all attempts to improve security or shorten the security daily will fail.

For example, in the aliases file, you can put a line like this: xyz:abc, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will cause any incoming mail intended for local user xyz to be routed to both local user abc and remote user [EMAIL PROTECTED] So you can route mail to your Exchange server and it should get through. This should not require any changes on the Exchange side. The file you have to change is usually /etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases, depending on your site configuration. You must execute the newaliases command after you change it, to rebuild the aliases database.

Lehey is suggesting in his book The Complete FreeBSD on pg. 70 he does not recommend a /usr, or a /var file system. [...] What does he recommend then? Now that I have the chance to make you go and buy the book, maybe I should grin type=evil/ Actually Greg Lehey offers a well reasoned discussion of the pros and cons of various partitionings, arguing among other things that given the typical sizes of modern hard disks, partitions of even a few percent of a normal disk size is quite roomy compared to the requirements of a complete FreeBSD binaries+source+ports+your choice of packages installation. Consider also that in a home or personal system such as a laptop, your logs or other /var material isn't likely to grow unmanageably, and when it comes to swap, you need some, but swap much larger than system memory is not useful for crash dumps and if you swap that much, there are other problems. For a home or personal system, you really only need /, swap and /home. So with this advice in mind, consider my reasonably modern laptop, which came with a gigabyte of RAM and a hard disk advertised as 80GB but actually per dmesg ad0: 76319MB FUJITSU MHT2080AT/0022 [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 After gazing into thin air until my wife positively started blushing, I ended up partitioning like this: /dev/ads1a / 12GB /dev/ads1b swap 2GB /dev/ads1d /home the rest - 59GB according to df -h. 12GB for / is vastly more than you're likely to need. With base system, full 5.3 source and ports tree and my 452 most needed packages installed, my / has 6.6GB used (that is 62%). Again, this is for a home or personal system. If you are setting up a large server of some kind or other which will be running a lot of processes, the equations will turn out differently, and things like separate /tmp and /var partitions (or even disks) may start to make sense. The only real guide is experience from your typical use, or for that matter, from people who run rougly the same things you do. If you need a different configuration for what you want to do, symptoms will show up soon enough. -- Peter N. M.

Image viewer/Slideshow solution.
I'm running freeBSD on a laptop. The laptop is about to become a striped view-image-only box, ie a Digital Frame. I have my pictures organised with Adobe Photoshop album, and I would like to keep it that way, so now I need to either: a) Find a freeBSD image software that understands the Adobe Photoshop Album database format. b) automatically export on set of paths from the Adobe Photoshop Album database. I also need to find picture viewer / slideshow that can take command line argument with either a textfile containing image paths, or a folder to show images from. It would also be VERY cool if I can command next and prev image via the network. I have my RC reciever on another box so this new Digital Frame will have no other inputs than the power and the network. So: 1. Is anyone aware of a freeBSD product that understands Adobe Photoshop album? 2. Can someone recommend an image viewer software that has rather advanced system-call availabilty, like the mplayer for instance.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10 | Continued Discussion
Quoting Nick Pavlica ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I would like to start addressing some of the feedback that I have been given. I started this discussion because I felt that it was important to share the information I discovered in my testing. I also want to reiterate my earlier statement that this is not an X vs. X discussion, but an attempt to better understand the results, and hopefully look at ways of improving the results I had with FreeBSD 5.x. I'm also looking forward to seeing the improvements to the 5.x branch as it matures. I want to make it very clear that this is NOT A Religious/Engineering War, please don't try to turn it into one. Well, I apologize if I came about that way. The fact seems to be that linux outperforms freebsd in your tests. The question, obviously, is why? To be able to answer, we need to find the places where the 2 systems are different. I suggest creating a webpage, possibly as pure .txt, where all findings are posted. It makes it easier to process with graphical plotting tools and it lowers the bandwidth we all need to transfer. If I were you, I would drop the measurements of raw performance for a bit as we wouldn't gain anything from that. Instead, I would begin to probe the system while the tests are executing. For instance, what does ``vmstat 1'', ``iostat 1'' and (if applicable ``gstat'') report when the test is running in the respective operating systems? What about open filedescriptors (is the limit reached). Does ``systat -vmstat'' show anything odd on FreeBSD while running the tests, etc? I am sure people can fill in more interesting probes to try. Using the probes might alter the outcome of the test, but as we are not testing for performance, this doesn't matter. There is a fair chance that something odd show up. On the other hand, if nothing shows up, we have ruled a lot of possible stuff out. -- jlouis ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then, you close port 22 on your firewall and open the one you designated for sshd, and you login to that port from the other machine with ssh. Also, can you go without logins, i.e., can you go entirely with key-based authentication?

Sangoma S518 ADSL
Hi All, Just got my router up and running as a 3 homed host thanks to Patrick Gelsema and Aaron Siegel, great, only now the router decided to die. As a result I have been searching the internet for a suitable card and after seeing this Sangoma S518 ADSL card and some good write ups I have purchased one. I can't get this thing working with FreeBSD 5.3 even though it states that it works. The problem seems to be with ifconfig. I have built a new Kernel numerous times now including device sdla pci? and device sppp, but still the driver moans about not finding SPPP in the kernel and can't create interface wpaads10. I am not sure if I even need SPPP. Has anyone had a success story with this card, even if it is with an older version of FreeBSD or even version 3.6 of OpenBSD ? My ISP assigns me a fixed IP address and wants me to use PPPoA with the encoding set to VMuX and not LLC. I also need to sign in with a username and password (which I think requires PAM). Any help appreciated. Thanks Tim Preece. ___ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Also, you have to look at whether or not the storage server supports a given OS. In the case of the IBM Shark there is a list of supported platforms that you have to select from when adding a new host to the configuration.

Persistent kernel module?
Is there a way to make a kernel module persistent between kernel builds? I'm using a HighPoint SATA RAID controller on FreeBSD 5.3. HighPoint provides a driver for this controller in the form of a kernel module (hpt374.ko). Their instructions say to put the module in /boot/kernel, and add 'hpt374_load=YES' to the file /boot/defaults/loader.conf. This works, but when I build a new kernel the /boot/kernel dir gets renamed and recreated, and the hpt374.ko module doesn't get copied to the new dir. I have to copy it manually each time I build the kernel. So is there a way to make the kernel build process know about third party kernel modules and copy it over to the new /boot/kernel automatically?

If one does a src compile, it requires that the linux-sun-jdk to be installed to bootstrap the compile of native jdk. Why would freebsd not use a binary version of it's own native jdk to bootstrap itself? If that's not feasible, then why would the jdk port not immediately remove all the linux crap that it installs if its not needed? If something is only temporary, then it should be removed immediately after use right :)? Sun's licensing terms do not allow the distribution of a binary jdk. The FreeBSD Foundation pushed long and hard to get a license to distribute the diablo-jdk13. I don't know why there hasn't been a diablo-jdk14 released, but I can only assume it involves Sun. 2. Where did the browser plugin go? In 1.3 and 1.4 I symlinked /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to what ever jdk I was using. For example: /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so - /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so But in 1.5 I don't see this .so, nor does the plugin directory even exist. Is there a new way I am not aware of? The jdk1.5 port is very young, the patchset-1 was only announced on the 19th: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2005-January/003376.html Plugin support was not included with this patchset. Please be patient, the jdk is big and the team porting it is very small. 3. Since the linux jdk is not necessary, is there an easy way to get a list of everything that was installed as the req for the native jdk compile so I may remove it all (and its deps)? pkg_delete knows what to remove and will do as it's told if you pass the -f argument.

Re: Partition Size
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote
Peterhin thusly...
looking at page 70, in The Complete FreeBSD and I quote Use the
rest of the space on disk for a /home file system. as long as it's
possible to back it up on a single tape. Otherwise make multiple
file systems.
My question is do I make multiple /home directories.? I have a
SATA 80GB hard drive, so as Greg L. suggests 4GB to 6GB for the
root file system. 1GB to 2GB for the Swap file. The rest of the
disk for the /home file.
That would leave me with a /home of approx. 72GB.
Assuming given space is = 4 GB ...
I personally first set the sizes of swap (2*RAM if RAM = 256 MB,
else about RAM + 256 MB), / (about 65% full), and /usr (about 50%
full).
I try to keep the sizes of / (100 - 135 MB) /usr (500-600 MB) such
that there is room to expand w/ each, at least, minor release, w/o
wasting space. Purpose of the two partitions is to contain base
system specific files only. X does not come in this yet.
Next comes the partition which will contain at least /home and non
system files (/usr/local, /usr/X11R6, /usr/ports, /usr/src).
If i can squeeze in ~2 GB partition, then
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX:-/usr/obj} $WRKDIRPREFIX---see comments in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk---go there (where ports system compilation
occur).
Now, the remaining amount of space decides if /var goes on a separate
partition. Low space in /var will very likely make /tmp to be created
as a memory file system. If the amount of the remaining is too low (i
decreed it to be 465 MB during my last installation) for /var,
everything will go either on the partition containing /home or the
compilation partition.
Whew, this seems to be excessively complicated!!
Presuming you are talking about one nice big FreeBSD slice on one disk,
here are the things to consider.
First, although it is possible to put everything in / (root) there
are times it is nice to have a smaller root to work with, especially
if you have to deal with recovering from botching something up.
Secondly, you want a reasonably large swap space - more than memory
size if possible, even twice memory size, plus a little. Swap is
used for swap, paging and crash dumps if you need it. The amount
you need for paging depends a lot on the amount of memory you have
and how many processes you get loaded up and running and such. With
disk being so cheap now, using a little more for swap is cheap and
not a bad idea, but not essential.
Third, You want to protect the rest of your system from things that can
unexpectedly grow and overfill their partition and bring the system
to its knees.The way to protect the system is to put these things
in a separate partition. Some processes may grind to a halt, but
usually you can then at least get to stuff to clean up.
The two big candidates are /tmp and /var. You shouldn't need a giant /tmp
but having it separate provides a little protection. /var contains logs,
spools and databases. The amount of space you need depends a lot on what
you are running and how often you rotate logs and how long you keep old
logs and how clean you keep your spool files and if you are running a
database engine like MySQL. Overfilling either /tmp or /var can bog
your system down, but you can usually get to things with root and cleanup.
Fourth, you need enough space in /usr for what you install. If you
bring in ports (recommended) and source (needed if you are serious
about learning FreeBSD and getting creative, but otherwise optional)
and install some of the big ports, you can use up a lot of space very
fast.
Some people put people's login directories in /usr (/usr/home/idname).
That can be one of those things that grow unexpectedly, so I don't.
Some people leave /usr in the root (/) partition. That is fine, just
makes root bigger and makes it slightly more likely that you won't be
able to just mount root to clean up problems after botching something.
Fifth, the rest of the space... It is common to make up a large
partition to hold all of the rest of everything, which can be login
directories, scratch files, etc. A popular name to use for mounting
this partition is /home. I also use /work and even /junk.
This 'rest of the disk' should be divided up into chunks that can
be dump(8)ed to one backup media if possible. Otherwise you will
get sloppy and not do backups because it is harder. Since there is a
limit to how many partitions that can be created in one slice, you may
need to make more than one slice to do this chunking up. This is no
problem if your machine is dedicated to FreeBSD. If you are multi
booting it, you may run out of slices too - only 4 are allowed. But,
then, if you are multi booting and using up all the slices, you
probably will also be using up a bunch of the disk space on those
other OSen and won't need to do so much chunking of the FreeBSD slice.
Finally, it is a common practice to move some of

Re: ftp problem
First off, this is not appropriate for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've redirected to questions@ ... please continue the conversation there. Secondly, the correct way to _not_ run around in circles making wild guesses as to what the problem might be is to enable debugging on ftpd and then review the log files to see what's actually happening. If you're from the Windows world, then you're probably not used to this approach, as Windows doesn't log enough information to be useful. In the Free Software world, enabling debugging usually tells you exactly what needs done.

Remote FreeBSD Installation
Hello list, Is there a way to do a remote installation of FreeBSD on a server that's currently running Linux? I know in Linux there are ways to install a new version/distro. by using chroot, but was wondering if there is an easy way to do that type of thing with FreeBSD from a Linux installation. This would be used for something like the Power3000 server that www.serverbeach.com offers, since they give you full root, allow you to install whatever you want, but don't offer FreeBSD installations as part of their package.

The 5213 is apparently an a/b/g chip used in the DWL-G530, and since I have the DWL-G520 that uses the AR5212 I do have a supported card under the ath driver.. but the driver failed to load, so something is wrong.

Re: Can't get rid of screen 'saver'
apparently there are some hardcoded defaults in the X server that need to be overridden to remove the 10 minute blanktime. just add the serverflags section in your config file as explained here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html and it should be fine. the one affecting you is probably this: Option BlankTime time sets the inactivity timeout for the blanking phase of the screensaver. time is in minutes. This is equivalent to the Xorg server's `-s' flag, and the value can be changed at run-time with xset(1x) . Default: 10 minutes. you might also want to get rid of all those others options StandbyTime, SuspendTime and OffTime just to be on the safe side.
