problem updating ports

[Rene C. Mendoza]

Hi!
Has anyone encountered the following error.  I'm using Freebsd 5.3.
daffy# portsdb -Uu
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please 
wait..gnustep-slideshow-0.3: "/usr/ports/graphics/slideshowkit" 
non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
===> graphics/gnustep-slideshow failed
*** Error code 1
1 error

Here's my cvsup.conf:
*default tag=.
*default release=cvs
*default host=cvsup5.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default use-rel-suffix
*default compress
*default delete
src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
Been googling around but can't seem to find the solution.
thanks,
Rene

If I understand the DPT manual correctly:
My cards have a motorola 68000-based cpu. The "faster" smartraid cards have
motorola 68020-based cpus as well as much larger cache. My card has a max
transaction rate of 20MHz. It sends 2bytes down the wire per clockcycle (SCSI
DDR? LOL) so it has a max througput of 40Mbps.

It sounds like 256-color mode and/or dithering of colors.  That
shouldn't be necessary at 16-bit color or beyond, though.

Grainy X Windows and KDE.

[Dmitri Furman]

Dear FreeBSD experts.  Your help with this would be greatly appreciated. I 
spent a week now trying to setup FreeBSD on my Dell Dimension 8200 Desktop.  
Most of the time was spent setting up Xorg to work.  I have Nvidia video 
card GeForce MX4400 with 32 MB or RAM.  I had to rebuild kernel to make 
Nvidia driver work.  I am able to run in 1024x768 mode but picture is really 
grainy.  I specified depth at 24 and also tried 32.  I have a 15" Flat Panel 
monitor.  If anyone had any luck or has some pointers on what I have to do 
to resolve grainy colors problem please let me know what I need to do.  
Thank you.

Current or questions.  You may have a bad file(corrupted), bad memory,  
a choice of cvsup server?

What are your make.conf options?  If make.conf is generic I would  
delete /usr/src/sys/dev, maybe /usr/src/* if there are other problem  
areas.  Do you always get random errors, or is it in the same spot?  If  
it fails randomly you may have a hardware problem.

BTW, do you really what a generic kernel?

Gee, I did that this morning - make fetchindex that is - and when I ran 
"portversion -vL=" I learned that 14 of the installed packages were to 
advanced and I needed to go backwards. I wonder when that INDEX-5 was 
built.

Three ways to get around it:
1) rm -r /usr/ports/graphics/gnustep-slideshow
Then run portdb

2) There is an error in the Makefile, go in and fix it. It was reported
on ports@

3) Ignore it until it's fixed in a couple of days.

I'm not sure what your problem is. I have the same vchans setting and I

I've had Courier-IMAP working great with a MySQL database for over a
week now.  I just rebooted my machine for the first time, and now I
can't auth at all.  It just rejects every password, maillog says that

Re: Configuring PF

[Pat Maddox]

I've managed to come up with something that works so far.  I am having
two problems though.

The first is that I can't authenticate for IMAP anymore.  No clue why,
it just keeps rejecting my password.  maillog shows imapd: LOGIN
FAILED, that's it.

Also, after enabling pf, all my UDP ports show as open.  I've got a ruleset of
block in log on $ext_if proto udp all

So all UDP ports should be shown as closed.  Doesn't really make any
sense to me.  Anyone care to help?

Thanks for the help so far.

Re: can't reboot after messing up my rc.conf file

[Jamie Novak]

I may have missed something from the thread before I joined the list,
but is there any reason you can't just mount the filesystems and use vi
as you're used to? If you're getting far enough in the boot process to
get an opportunity to interact with a shell, you should just be able to
mount -a and vi whatever. (Or, if you want to play it safe (or if the
system wasn't cleanly shutdown before), fsck and then mount -a)

Otherwise, Chris Hodgins' suggestion of mv'ing the old file out of the
way and echoing variables into a new one is probably what I'd do. I hate
ed.

That shouldn't have made any difference.  It was just to help you find

It would be worth attaching a ktrace to the Emacs to see what it's

  $ ps aux | grep emacs

emacs on freebsd 5.3

[Tony Tung]

Hi,
I have an unusual problem I was hoping someone could help me with.  I have 
a FreeBSD 5.3 server that's been up for longer than a month.  In that 
period, everything seemed fine.  However, all of a sudden, I'm no longer 
able to spawn a shell in emacs.  In fact, I cannot start any process 
(shell, gdb, grep, compile) inside emacs.  It is happening to all the 
users, which makes me wonder if there's some OS-related issue in play 
here.

I've tried restarting emacs, bypassing the emacs startup file, 
reinstalling emacs, and just about everything I could think of short of 
restarting the server (don't want to do that until I'm physically 
present).

Any ideas or advice would be welcome.

Questions with configuring multiple NIC's

[J Ramos]

Hello,
I'm currently running 5.3 on a HP Pavillion ze4420us laptop. Pretty much 
everything that I would
like to get working works, with the exception of my NIC's. The onboard 
National Semiconductor DP83815/16 works fine by itself with the sis driver. 
I have 2 pcmcia wireless ethernet cards, that
"work." Linksys WPC11 v4 wireless B card is recognized via XP drivers and 
ndis, as is the
Netgear WG511, also through XP drivers and ndis. I'm having a tough time 
getting the wireless
cards configured correctly with ifconfig. I believe that the problem is with 
the netmasks. Seems
like I read somewhere that 2 NIC's on the same machine connected to the same 
network may
not share the same netmask. One should be 255.255.255.0 and the other should 
be
255.255.255.255. sis driver support is built in to the kernel, GENERIC 
kernel from install, which
I will probably have to rebuild shortly. Not being able to kldunload the si 
and if_sis modules
keeps sis0 constantly in ifconfig. If I unplug the cable and try to run only 
a wireless card, it doesn't
seem to work correctly. ifconfig'ing ndis0 to a good ip and 255.255.255.0 
netmask says the
network is down when trying to ping the router. Using the 255.255.255.255 
netmask with ndis0,
pinging the router  leads to "ping: sendto: Host is down." However, the 
interesting thing is that
I get a message from arp, "io kernel: arp: 192.168.1.1 is on sis0 but got 
reply from
00:09:5b:dd:c4:f8 ( the router mac address) on ndis0." Although sis0 is not 
on the network, my
machine is acting like it since sis0 can be disabled, but the modules can't 
be unloaded. Here's my
point...

Would I be better off rebuilding a kernel with sis driver support not built 
in, but instead loading
the modules and ifconfig'ing only the interface I need at that point in 
time, and if I need to change,
just unload the modules I don't need, and load the ones I do, then ifconfig 
the new active
interface?

There may be a more elegant solution, and I'd be happy to hear them, or any 
links or man pages
that I probably overlooked.

Thanks much,
Josh

The (not very helpful) point to learn from this is: When buying a
printer, select the model/manufactorer with regard to whether (and
how) it can be used with your favourite OS.

Usually, nowadays it is very easy to get printers to work which speak
either some kind of PCL or Postscript. Most of todays printers do.

hello cody,

note:  this is not a fix, but an alternative:

rather than building your copy of INDEX locally, you can

cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex

this will download a precompiled copy INDEX.  while this one is not
guaranteed to *exactly* match your local tree (although it might), it is
sufficiently fresh that you are not likely to bump into any INDEX
related problems.  if i had to guess as to its reliability, i would
say that it works 99.978592% of the time.

this precompiled copy is rebuilt by the servers every 2 hours (or less),
so if you ever do bump into a problem, you can just wait a bit and pull
down a newer version (or build it locally).

the advantage you ask?  well, downloading the INDEX takes only the time
required for your connection to pull down a ~700 k file, whereas
building INDEX locally usually takes 30-60 minutes, not to mention,
quite a few CPU cycles.

anyhoo.  food for thought.


cheers,
epi

No, no need for that. It's already confirmed that
4.X does not have this problem.

However, recently there's a 'ATA mkIII' patch around,
which seems to also solve this problem. Follow the
discussion on -stable mailinglist for further
details.
I'm not yet sure whether you have to upgrade first
to "5-STABLE" before applying this patch.

Rob.

fsck will be run at boot time if the system needs to run it
(i.e. unclean shutdown).  See the rc.conf manpage for relevant options
for rc.conf.  Unlike Windows, you don't need to run fsck regularly as
a regular maintenance measure.

I have a 5.3-stable system that I am trying to update.

Recall that there are no real hardware RAID controllers on the

compare the hardware on the card and the hardware in the system.

I'd guess that the version of FreeBSD is no particular relevance.

You'll also note that these claims are in no way substantiated.  It's
word of mouth:

There is in fact no substantiation whatsoever for this claim.
problems have been reported that suspected either Vinum or soft
updates, and which were frequently related to neither.  We have no
reason to believe that there was ever the kind of problem he's talking
about here.

I have.  It works.  There appears to be a bug in reintegrating disks
with a live file system, so it should be unmounted first.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  I haven't tried RAID-5 on gvinum,
but it's the first time I've heard that it's not supported.

One or the other.  It's a tradeoff.

The rest of the system is a k6-2 400mhz with 256mb ram (amount might change).
I will also have moderate network i/o on the pci bus (obviously).
I still have one here lingering around somewhere on a shelf. It ran a 
4*1Gb diskarray RAID-5 when 1GB disk where still sort of big. So that is 
how old this card is.

With that I did have some unplesant experiences with this card:
- First and most major it seems that you need to have the right version 
firmware in it. Otherwise things might get seriously hossed at 
unexpected times. Just buffers timing out in the middle of the night.
- The other issue was that my disk where in an external cabinet and once 
the cable came loose. It killed the raid as expected, but it took me a 
long time to find some tools to force the disk up the brute way. Just to 
see if I could recover some of the data.
And like you say: Al these tools are DOS based.

Currently I'm running a 4*60Gb ATA RAID5 with old vinum on a 233 MHZ P2, 
256Mb with FBSD 5.1. This ATA just because ATA disk are so much cheaper 
per MB, and I do not need utmost dependability for my 6 PC office.
I've ordered 4*250Gb ATA disks this week to build a new RAID5, and I'll 
go again for vinum.

FSCK on Reboot

[Matt LaPlante]

Right now I've got a server running FreeBSD 4.11.  My question is, is
there a way to automatically run fsck on a system reboot, without
having to go through the process of sitting at the computer, changing
the run level, etc, etc. Clearly it's beneficial in a work environment
to be able to wait till night hours to run such operations, but I
personally have no desire to hang around the office until midnight
just to run a file system check.  I know on any Windows machine this
is easily accomplished by running chkdsk and answering "y" when it
prompts if you want the system checked on the next reboot...you can go
home, wait till midnight, and reboot the system, it will automatically
check itself and come back online.  Can this be accomplished in
FreeBSD?

I'm assuming the problem is related to the fact that the jumpstart

target server (and the kernel that's attempting to NFS mount the
partition) is from the 5.x line and they're fighting over mounttab
magic.
No I don't think so. This error has been mentioned also in a previous 
thread yesterday regarding diskless clients.

Does anybody know if this kind of thing is possible? If so, what did you
do to enable such a configuration to work? (Would it be possible to
install both 4.x and 5.x on network-booting clients if the jumpstart
server was 5.x instead of 4.x as it is now?)
I haven't tried with multi-version jumpstart, but I have used memory 
disk fetched with tftp and installed with ftp. Avoids the NFS mess. I 
wrote this into a howto:

   http://www.daemonsecurity.com/pxe/
Any feedback is appreciated.
(When I haven't submitted this yet, it's because I want to cover 
diskless also and I still haven't found good solutions for nfs mount of 
/var and there is a problem with using dhclient.)

Hope this helps.

Recomendations for Video Capture Cards

[Jasvinder S. Bahra]

Hi all,

I've recently had a PC become available, and I would like to set it up as a
kind of video recorder.

I would like to purchase a card of some sort that would allow me to connect
the PC to my TV, and record television programmes on the hard-drive. The
reverse also - playing back the recording, and viewing it on the TV.

Now, i've done a little research, and I understand that FreeBSD "provides
support for PCI-based TV cards using a Brooktree Bt848/849/878/879 or a
Conexant CN-878/Fusion 878a Video Capture Chip with the bktr(4) driver".

Does anyone have any recomendations on a video capture card that would be
suitable?

Has anyone done anything like this before? I presume so as the driver
already exists.

How successful (or otherwise), did the project turn out?

I realise there is lots of software in the ports collection that can provide
audio/video capture capabilities, but does anyone know of any that can be
scheduled to automatically start and stop capturing at predefined times? I
suppose I could use the crontab if the software supports command line
configuration...

Regards,

Jazz

After installing php4-mhash, I cannot get apache to restart.
I cannot find anything in the logs, namely http-error.log probabl 
because apache needs to be started.  I am not finding anything in the 
/var/log/messages either.  When I start apache from the command line, it 
gives me the message the httpd has been started but there doesn't. 
What could be wrong?

btw, this is installing on apache WAIT a moment.  When I do a 
pkg_info, I get apache+mod_ssl-1.3.31+2.8.19.  Could that be my problem? 
 Does that mean that there are two versions of apache installed?  I do 
not remember doing thisas a matter of fact I know I did not do this.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Add Printer wizard grayed out?

[Jason Zimberoff]

Howdy all.

I just installed Free BSD 5.3 RELEASE on a PC based machine.  It is connected
to the LAN here at work. (Internet connectivity seems to be fine)

After installing KDE (this is the first time for me) I decided to try to 
install a printer. (KDE version 3.3)

All the docs say that I should try the "Add Printer Wizard" in the print
manager.  But when I go in there, and click on the "add" button, a drop down
menu appears.  

The first choice "Add Printer/Class" is grayed out.
The second line "Add Special (Pseudo) Printer" is available. (But I dont want
to do that)

Question:  what do I need to fix to get the first choice to not be grayed out?

Thanks!

-Zim

The "Any IP on interface" for ipnat seems to be 0/0 instead of 0/32
and i am not sure if the tcp/udp keyword also works with ipnat. I use:

rdr xl0 0/0 port 50505 -> 192.168.0.11 port 50505 tcp
rdr xl0 0/0 port 50505 -> 192.168.0.11 port 50505 udp

and then in ipf.rules:

pass in quick on xl0 proto tcp from any to 192.168.0.11 port = 50505
flags S keep state
pass in quick on xl0 proto udp from any to 192.168.0.11 port = 50505 keep state

not strictly necessary ... but it means I benefit from all the

multi-version jumpstart

[Jamie Novak]

I currently have a jumpstart server setup in such a way that we can
specify on a "configure" command-line various install options (which
4.x-RELEASE we want to use, server config type, etc.). This part is
working great and has saved us a ton of time.

Now that 5.x is moving into the realm of being stable enough for our
production uses, we're looking into making use of some of the
SMP-related goodies in that release line. Unfortunately, I do not seem
to be able to get our jumpstart server to be able to dynamically
install both 4.x and 5.x targets from the same machine.

I'm able to get the jumpstart server to export the 5.3-RELEASE partition
and pass the GENERIC kernel and install.cfg over to the network-booting
machine, but when it comes time to actually NFS mount the install
partition on the target server to run the install, it returns an NFS
error:

mount_nfs -P 10.x.x.x:/releases/5.3-RELEASE/ /dist
mount_nfs: Can't update /var/db/mounttab for 
10.x.x.x:/releases/5.3-RELEASE
mount_nfs: /dist: operation not supported by device

I'm assuming the problem is related to the fact that the jumpstart
server is running 4.x-RELEASE, while the OS I'm trying to install on the
target server (and the kernel that's attempting to NFS mount the
partition) is from the 5.x line and they're fighting over mounttab
magic.

Does anybody know if this kind of thing is possible? If so, what did you
do to enable such a configuration to work? (Would it be possible to
install both 4.x and 5.x on network-booting clients if the jumpstart
server was 5.x instead of 4.x as it is now?)

I'd really like to avoid having to build a second jumpstart server just
to get 5.x installs working, but I'm afraid it's looking like that's the
way I'll need to go... Any tips would be most appreciated.

IPF, VOIP, packet priority?

[Matt Staroscik]

I use a 4.10 FreeBSD box as a NAT device, IPF firewall and DHCP server. 
I recently got VOIP service from my ISP (Speakeasy). The VOIP box they 
sent me goes in between the NAT box and the DSL modem, and it is 
supposed to prioritize VOIP traffic so calls are clear. But, if I am 
doing a download my calls do get a little choppy. It's tolerable but I 
would like to improve it.

How can I prioritize the VOIP traffic under 4.10 with IPF? Googling has 
shown me (http://www.muine.org/~hoang/freenat.html) that I need the 
ipfirewall + dummynet options in my kernel to enable QoS, but I am 
unlcear on how that will work with my existing ipf firewall rules.

Thanks for any leads.

Fine, then it's agreed that Apple's OS isn't necessarily married to the

however, you take the good with the bad.  Otherwise get handy with the

Irrelevant.  They (MS) still profit in every other way I mentioned.  
And if these are corporate techs that survive in the world of certs by 
having as many acronyms as possible on their resume', they recertify.

They are human advertisements, they are MS
evangelists by proxy, they reinforce market position, and they are
brainwashed into MS-centric solutions for everything thus encouraging
more purchases by the companies they work for/in from MS.
They are not brainwashed by MS.  They were that way long before they
became MCSEs, otherwise they would not have become MCSEs.
I made the mistake of taking a swipe at the popularity of the cert 
programs out there.  Any cert test it seems (except maybe A+) is aimed 
at pushing the product you cert on.  I thought you'd catch what I was 
implying.

And you're over-categorizing.  Many people get MCSE because their boss 
or business requires it or pays for it along the way, not because they 
want to use Windows as a solution for everything short of running their 
expresso machine.  How many BSD admins have a cert around somewhere?

Subscribe to FreeBSD-security-notifications, and you will receive mail

OK Brian I want to go through everything piece by piece on your system,
so I need to look at portmanager's databases. They shouldn't be too big.
Please send me: portmanager.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/share
tar -cf portmanager.tar portmanager
gzip portmanager.tar

Re: Setting upFreeBSD with D-Link Wireless Router

[Dustin Wilhoit]

Yes it's very possible. :-)  You may want to check out FreeRadius 
(http://www.freeradius.org/).  It is a free radius server which is what 
I think you are looking for.  I will state that you need to take some 
time to read up on this a little bit as it can be irritating to set up 
a radius server if you are not familiar with all the settings.  I did 
this for my D-link AP for fun then went back to wep for reasons I don't 
remember.  Ohh, FreeRadius has a port, so you can start there. :-)  
It's a popular radius server for *nix.  A medium-sized datacenter I 
worked at used it for all communications gear and dial-up access.  
Anyways, good luck sir.

Managing bad sectors during install

[Pásztor Richárd]

I have 2 small problems about installing FreeBSD.
1) My HDD is a 8,4 Gb quantum, which has 1 bad sector laying on it 
somewhere. I created ntfs partition
on it, and format detected that sector, and marked as bad so there was no 
problem of data loss because writing
to that sector. Now, if i fdisk the whole HDD to a freebsd slice, and 
divide it to partitions i get an error during
filesystem creation, that a bad sector was detected. The system panics, and 
reboots after 15 sec.
My question: why isnt the UFS able to mark this/these sectors as bad, and 
simply not to use them?
Throwing panic for one single bad sector is not an elegant way.

2) My other smaller question: If i enabled SoftUpdates at install-time for "/"
but changed my mind, how can i turn it off ? I cant unmount "/" to change it,
because its always busy (the other partitions can be unmounted easily in 
single user)

I think these are basic problems, and should be (especially turning OFF 
softupdate on "/") mentioned in handbook also.

Re: Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!

i did create the slices using default option (A)
and partions using default option (A).

now i see the following problem:

"mounting error /mnt/dev/ad0s1f on /mnt/usr :
Input/output error"

i think it is the problem with the disk geometry 
i don't know what. i have a 80GB disk, and i tried 
changing the mode from LBA to NORMAL to LARGE in the 
BIOS setting but it didn't help. /usr is the the
last partition in the default list of partiontions.

thanks in advance for your time

Festival and vchans

[Chad Albert]

I recently set "hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4" on a FreeBSD 5.3 box and now when
I try to get festival to speak I just get silence.  I can play sound
files with sox and if I copy a file to /dev/dsp I get noise as I would
expect.  Festival worked before I turned on virtual channels but now I
get nothing.  I have set festival's Audio_Method to freebsd16audio and
that does not work.  When I set it to netaudio I get what sounds like
"slow motion" speaking.  Has anyone seen/solved this before?

True.  But in the case of Windows, that's exactly the situation.  I had

They are not brainwashed by MS.  They were that way long before they
became MCSEs, otherwise they would not have become MCSEs.

Makefile and directory layout

[Jonathon McKitrick]

Hi all,

I'm about to port several libraries to *nix because a new customer needs it
to run on an open source OS.  I need some ideas for how to set this up.

It's going to be a binary-only distribution, AFAIK, but I don't know if that
should affect the directory layout.

What I have are a lot of libraries (components, really), and many, but not
all, have nested dependencies.

Am I better off with a flat directory with subdirs for each library and one
big subdir for all include files?  Or, does it make more sense to place
library source directories and header files *within* the directories of
libraries that need them?

So, if libfoo requires libbar and no other library does:

proj/
Makefile
include/
foo.h
bar.h
libfoo/
Makefile
src/
foo.c
libbar/
Makefile
src/
bar.c

**OR**

proj/
Makefile
include/
foo.h
libfoo/
Makefile
include/
bar.h
src/
foo.c
libbar/
Makefile
src/
bar.c

Is there a better way?  Especially for header files just needed internally 
for the library itself versus headers shared between modules?

dd will let you specify parts of files to skip over. You will probably
have to do some fiddling with the arguements to get it just right for your
file.

moving files from bad sectors

[David Bear]

I have a hard disk that looks like its going out.

So far, there are 6 reported crc errors.  However, I have a file that
I would like to read as much as possible of using tar, but the whole
job stops like this:


 # tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 /home > /root/tarhome.cat
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /home/smbshare1/BUDGETS/RXS0008 fy04 kellogg report and
summary.xls: Read error at byte 14848, reading 10240 bytes:
Input/output error
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

When attempting to cp that same file I get another error and the cp
stops.

Are there any tools that will permit me to cp as much of this file as
possible, ie all sectors up to, and then past, the bad spot?

as another possibility, are there any tools that I can use with fsck
that would  mark the sector as bad so its not reused?

the same problem yesterday when I moved my jailed system to a new network.

Had the same problem a while back when my kernel and base became out of 
sync as I had cvsup'd base and then recompiled my kernel without 
building world first.  Cvsup base, build world, build kernel, install 
kernel and then install world.

YES, I know tcp packets can get fragmented. I wander however why in most
cases people just use "keep state" and *sometimes* "keep state keep
frags" I really like to know when or when not to use "keep frags"
In other words: when is it really useful and when is it not?

afair normally you would :

- chmod 1777 your_upload_dir (for anonymous uploads)
- do *any* other permission-settings in the config of the FTP-server
you're running

You may have noticed that there were comments about not trusting vinum's
RAID5 support in that article. If you are using FreeBSD 5.3, the default
is now gvinum (sort of second generation of vinum). The gvinum tools don't
give you the ability to create RAID5 virutal disks so if that is what you
want, you may not want to go with vinum or gvinum.

Another thing to consider is if you use software RAID and your application
gets CPU bound, you are going to take a double performance hit (both disk
and cpu).

I don't know your situation so it is your call.

umask

[koen de wijs]

Hello,
I have a question aboout the umask under FreeBSD. I couldn't find what 
it exactly is.
It is something for setting files how you set the 'xrwxrwxrw'
I found a file where you could chance it but don't knwo anymore what it 
was.

I want to use this for my ftp-server with FreeBSD.
I have a directory 'upload' where all my friends can put there files. 
They are all members of the group 'ftpusers'. But when they put a file 
in that directory all the other users from the group 'ftpusers' 
canchange or delete this file. I want to change it so that the write bit 
for the group is off when someonse of the ftpusers group writes 
something in the folder 'upload'. Can I do this with changing the umaks 
and how do I change that? I couldn't found any information on that.

Thanks ,
Koen

Re: Hula Server -- Mail/Cal Server

Hi Nick

We are currently trying to install it at a freebsd site.
We have gotten to the stage where it expects atomic.h from linux, so
it doesn't look like it will work without patching.

Not necessarely...
IMHO, You'd better configure your ftp/http clients of your workstation.
For excluding localhost and your proxy server to access local server

Trouble with sshd in jail

[musikcom]

I have some trouble with sshd in jail. This is description 
of the problem:

I have host system based on FreeBSD 5.1 Release with IP 
161.66.11.1 Futher I do these steps for creating jail on 
host system:

cd /usr/src
mkdir -p /jail
make world DESTDIR=/jail
cd etc
make distribution DESTDIR=/jail
mount_devfs devfs /jail/dev
cd /jail
ln -sf dev/null kernel
OK. That's easy. Next step I edit /etc/rc.conf by 
adding/editing some lines:

sendmail_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="YES"
syslogd_flags="-ss"
and /etc/ssh/sshd_config :
ListenAddress 161.66.11.1
OK. I do #sockstat and get only:
root   sendmail   361   4   tcp4   127.0.0.1:25*:*
root   sshd   355   3   tcp4   161.66.11.2:22  *:*
After this doing alias for jail:
#ifconfig em0 alias 161.66.11.2
Then I start jail:
#jail /jail testhost 161.66.11.2 /bin/sh /etc/rc
Two problems: then jail startup, the message "Starting 
sshd..." stops for 10 min. That's one. Then booting 
proccess continies and finish successfull. Second problem 
is when I try to connect to jail (161.66.11.2) with ssh 
client.
---Connect 161.66.11.2...
---Login as: root
AND STOPS!!! For 7-10 min. Than "password" field appears, 
but I have wait so much time...

That's the problem. Please, help if you can!
Thank you!!!

Physical ethernet interface and TAP in same bridge group

[Sergey Evteeff]

Hello.

First, I have a question about correct TAP interface bringing up. How I must 
do it? 
Some people recommend do it like this:
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/tap0 bs=1500 count=1
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/tap1 bs=1500 count=1
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/tap2 bs=1500 count=1

All ok, but I think it's not correct. So, how?

Second question I'd have is how I can join it into bridge group?
Some hand-passes like 
sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0:1,tap0:1,tap1:1,tap2:1
sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1
is work, in this case IP traffic through bridge group successfully but 
Ethernet frames not. 

As a result of this I want have more than one ng pppoed at one physical 
interface. I think that:
/usr/libexec/pppoed -a Hub0 -l hub0 tap0
/usr/libexec/pppoed -a Hub1 -l hub1 tap1
/usr/libexec/pppoed -a Hub2 -l hub2 tap2
will work.

Maybe I think wrong? Anybody have some solution for me?

Thanks.

PS: sorry for my english.

No, it's a known problem and I filed a pr about it a while back. So far
as I know, there's been no action on the pr and disabling dma is the
only workaround.

The reason I asked is because
http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/FreeBSD/vinum.html
suggests vinum can be marginally better than the hardware raid on the
smartraid range of cards (which have an even faster processor onboard
than the smartcache range). The CPU platform is more or less comparable.
Then again it is with old Fbsd, so I don't know how accurate that is.

Doubtful, though I have heard that there are some rare special
circumstances where software raid can be faster. Given your hardware, you

Use the hardware RAID, especially if you are going to use a simple RAID
configuration (like one big RAID-5 virtual disk). Just make sure you have
some way of figuring out if one of the disks goes bad. Worst case you
could boot off a DOS floppy once in a while to make sure all the disks are
still good.

I found that if you build the PHP port after installing apache+mod_ssl, it
will happily use the apache that is already installed and not require that
apache be built.

There's you and me now. I have this problem with two
of my PCs. I don't know yet of anybody else who has
these problems.

It's indeed a serious problem, but too few people
running 5.3 seem to suffer from this.

Have you tried with 4.11?
I bet that would not generate these problems.

Regards,
Rob.

On the other hand vital enterprise productivity applications like

now work just fine...

where to change config for pkg_add

[David Board (dacoto.com)]

I want to change the ftp location that pkg_add goes to when I want to
add a new pkg. I am running 5.3 Release and currently pkg_add looks
in Latest for the pkg. I would like to be able to pick pkgs from the entire
list instead of just Latest section because some apps I want are not 
available. 

Thanks, Dave

That's because the java plugin for Firefox/Mozilla/etc. is actually
part of the /Java/ port:

gravitas:...ports/java/jdk14:% pkg_which 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
jdk-1.4.2p7

I agree, it is a bit arcane, but you can work out what to type by
grovelling through the contents of /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work after
you've built the port -- or you can be clever and find the places this
has been discussed on various FreeBSD mailing lists before now.  This
is a good site:

Matthew

Re: Configure X Server

[Zlatozar Zhelyazkov]

I will suggest different way just type:

xorgcfg -textmode

In this way you will avoid editors ;)

Best,

This is the primary disadvantage of packages; they cannot adapt to the
existing configuration of your system the way ports can.

RE: Setting upFreeBSD with D-Link Wireless Router

[Timothy Radigan]

If you have a wireless-AP you can hook that directly into a standard PCI nic
on the BSD machine.  I have a similar setup where I'm at.  I'm letting the
BSD do dhcp/firewall/nat/router/dns for each of my LANs.  The AP is doing
WEP but for added security I have an encrypted VPN for the wireless LAN with
the BSD box doing IPSec for that.  I combined 2 how-to's I found online.
Here are the URLs if you want to take a look.

Subject: Setting upFreeBSD with D-Link Wireless Router

I'm newbie and I'm trying to set up a test network
than isn't connected to Internet on FreeBSD 4.7

I was wondering if it is possible to set up my FreeBSD
4.7 as a authentication server for 802.1x security
using D-Link 624 Wireless Router.

1 more stupid question do I need a wireless NIC for
the FreeBSD box?
