any ideas why these xorg hassles???
Guys, Here's the story XFree-4 vs xorg. I have 4 platforms on a KVM so every machine uses the same tube. With XFree, my 3 FBSD systems had a flawless 1280x1024 display. With xorg, on my E-machines (ATI-Rage- 4M Video) the screen quivers. On my HP Kayak (Matrox II 8M) the display is steady but the tube is complaining INVALID SYNC. The CRT is a high-end Hitachi. I got the exact specs for both the horiz and vert hertz ranges. Before, I was just close. Now everything is dead-on. Another couple things. With XFree, I set the DefaultDepth' to 8; now, on both computers it is maxed out at 16. If I do set the default depth to 8, xdm fails. (It tries to' initialize, then something clicks/resets, the screen flashes grey for an instant; repeats infinitely.) Can anyone clue me in on howto get back to XFree on both systems? I know about make.conf, but what should I pkg_delete? thanks for any help, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

help needed on configuring rl0 on medion laptops
hi everyone, I am a very enthusiastic FreeBSD newbie (I have wanted to use FreeBSD for years, but thanks to the latest Freesbie 1.1 which is awesome, I have finally made the step). I have a good knowledge of linux administration, both system and network and am presently learning the correspondances with FreeBSD line commands. So, here is my problem for which I would need your help : on my laptop (medion 1GHz mobile, with a realtech 8129/8139 network card), my network card is detected and recognized as what it is but, whether I use sysinstall and its network config wizard or dhclient or assign manually a network address with netmask and so on (ifconfig inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the route also manually, it never changes (whether rebooted in between or not), but says my ip is 0.0.0.0 and dhclient complains that it cannot find any dhcp server although, on another computer with the very same network cable and networkplug on the wall, it has no problem whatsoever here is the error message I get : rl0 watchdog timeout furthermore, when i boot under linux, it works perfectly fine ... would there be a need to load another driver (modprobe under linux but i don't know the equivalent under FreeBSD) thanks in advance for your help hb4j ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I installed the latest thunderbird port (1.01) to see how it compared to Mozilla Mail. So far I have had three bus errors and a segmentation fault! SO far I haven't even been able to reply to an email. Needless to say, Mozilla Mail does not have this level of problems for me. I imported all my Mozilla setting when I first ran. Anyone have similar problems or suggest how I can figure out what's going on? Running FreeBSD 4.10 and XFree86 4.4.

security logs being mailed to root
When I ran FBSD 5.2.1 I used to get the daily, weekly, and monthly security logs and such mailed to root...now since I did a clean install with 5.3 I no longer get anything, when I log in I have no mail...what gives?

USB printing problem: /dev/ulpt0: device busy
Hello everybody, I'm experiencing certain problems with USB printing. I have a Minolta PagePro 1300W printer connected to USB port. FreeBSD 5.3 recognizes the printer just fine and creates /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/unlpt0 device nodes. But the simple test like echo test /dev/ulpt0 (or /dev/unlpt0) fails with the message /dev/ulpt0: device busy. And, respectively, if simple tests fail, then the complicated printing via ghostscript - filter - driver also doesn't work. I suppose some program uses the device already, but I don't know what it can be - I'm not running lpd (device is busy either with lpd running or not). There isn't really much regarding this problem on the net. Usually people have their USB printers working. Any suggestions are appreciated.

freebsd raid problem
hi. i have installed freebsd on a partition on my hd. but i have a it8212 chip and 4 devices plugged onto it and cant afford to have the hd with freebsd on ide0 (ide12 are via it8212). i have to unplug all hds before freebsd is able to boot. if i have one hd on an ide with it8212 it has problems finding the kernel. and when i switch the hd back and use grub to point to the kernel the freebsd loader wont recognize the hd and wont boot. i found this link http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/13-12-04.html#ite-it8212f-gigabyte-raid-controller-supported is it possible with that to successfully boot freebsd? how to optain that source and use it? wont i have to patch the kernel? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

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.

ftp monitoring and limiting transfer rates
Hey everyone, I have a question:
I am running FreeBSD 5.3 with the default ftp-server ( ftpd ) as ftp
deamon, everything works fine but I'd like to see what files peolpe are
trying to download and when people log in. I would like I can get a html
file which I can access on my httpd server. I know I can see who is
loggin in by : tail -f /var/log/xferlog but that doesn't show what files
are being transfered.
My second question is about bandwith managing. How can I limit the
ftp-transfer speeds that are used for downloading when people connect
over rl1, my NIC which is connected to my modem and the internet. I am
running pf for my firewalling and allready tried this in /etc/pf.conf:
# assign packets to a queue.
pass out on $ext_if from localhost to any port { 20, 21 } keep state
queue ftp
##altq on $ext_if bandwidth 2Mb cbq queue { dflt, developers, marketing }
##queue dflt bandwidth 5% cbq(default)
##queue developers bandwidth 80%
##queue marketing bandwidth 15%
altq on $ext_if bandwith 60Kb cbq queue { dflt, ftp }
queue dflt bandwith 70%
queue ftpbandwith 30%
but this doesn't seem to work.

How can I limit the ftp-transfer speeds that are used for downloading when people connect over rl1, my NIC which is connected to my modem and the internet. I am running pf for my firewalling and allready tried this in /etc/pf.conf: I haven't used pf, but using ipfw this is simple enough. Check out the man page for ipfw, the dummynet section.

The best suggestion was from http://badgertronics.com/knowledge/one.adp?parent=25: To move /tmp/blarg to /var: % cd /tmp % tar cvf - blarg | (cd /var; tar xf -) I bet there must be atleast one utils like a binary named mvdir or similar that simply taked two directory names as argument. But I can't find any. How do you guys move around your directory structures from prompt? //J I use: Quick and dirty: $ mv /tmp/blarg /var/blarg If it's really important stuff: $ rsync -a /tmp/blarg /var/ $ rm -rf /tmp/blarg I'm interested to hear others' methods. someone else posted the cpio method so I'll skip that. I've been know to use dump and restore when the data was especially fragile but usually go with the mv command. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean_AT_hedron_DOT_org PGP KeyID: 1024D/CBC5D6BB URL: http://www.hedron.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Moving a directory hierarchy - best practice?
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately your commands will not affect the root folder of the hierarchy. I must create a directory in the destination path with the same name of the folder where my data is in. example: /home/user/level1/l2/l3/l4 I would like to move level1 to a new location: mvdir /home/user/level1 /root/ That would be awsome!

Detected Ethernet Cards Fail To Configure At Boot
Hello, I am running a server with 5.3-RELEASE. I have 3 3COM 905 ethernet cards (xl0, xl1, and xl2). I am getting this bizarre problem where the cards are detected during the boot process: xl0: 3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xb000-0xb03f irq 12 at device 10.0 on pci0 miibus0: MII bus on xl0 nsphy0: DP83840 10/100 media interface on miibus0 nsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:d0:34:1d xl1: 3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xa800-0xa83f irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 miibus1: MII bus on xl1 nsphy1: DP83840 10/100 media interface on miibus1 nsphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl1: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:17:24:df xl2: 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xa400-0xa47f mem 0xe400-0xe47f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 miibus2: MII bus on xl2 ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus2 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl2: Ethernet address: 00:04:75:8f:89:5f but their configuration fails. I don't get any error messages, its almost as if they don't exist. One of the interfaces is configured to have DHCPD running on it, but DHCPD fails saying xl2: not found. I log in after boot up, and when I do an ifconfig, all the interfaces are there, but not configured. To fix the problem, all I have to do is bring the machine down to single user mode, then back up to multi-user mode and everything gets configured properly.

It appears that it always formats a new filesystem because that's what

So, what IS the correct way to create and use file-based file
systems?
Apply the patch above, then something in /etc/fstab like the following will
not reformat the filesystem:
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-F/vnodes/fileimage,noauto 0 0
If you want it to reformat the filesystem as the old mount_mfs did
(or at least, as the old man pages say it did), then use something like
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-F/vnodes/fileimage,-u,noauto 0 0
Note that -u MUST follow -F on the command line to have any effect.
This breaks compatibility with the old mount_newfs. I guess I should
have used to opposite sense for -u. Which still would have broken
compatibility, but not as much. This means that if this patch ever
makes it into a FreeBSD distribution, it is likely to default to formatting
rather than not formatting. This will lead to a nasty surprise if you
aren't expecting it. In other words, don't use this patch unless you
are desperately seeking a solution to a problem that makes it worth
the risk. Don't blame me when some future change in behavior
deletes your important filesystem.
And, can I put quotas on them?
Don't know, but probably.
If applying a patch is a mystery to you, try (assuming you have the
full source installed) something that approximates this:
# cd /usr/src/sbin/mdmfs
# patch /path/to/patch.file
# make
# make install
If you want to be thorough, apply the following patch to fix the
man page as well:

Installing the IOGear GCS1734 USB KVM seems to have made the whole issue go away. Of course installing the KVM took a few tries to find the right power cycling and reboot combination to get any functionality. It looked like the whole USB infrastructure of the KVM was DoA, initially. On the other hand, neither mouse, nor keyboard, was working until I moved the KVM USB to the other USB port on the AX5 motherboard. Ah, the joys of old hardware.

Although FreeBSD does have equivalent things (virtual disks and software packaging) I don't think it supports .dmg files specifically. You should also know that FreeBSD is not going to run any software written for the Mac. There will be substitutes for most of the Mac software but you will probably find that some of the data file formats are proprietary to Apple and don't work anywhere else. That being said, there are a lot of file formats that can be manipulated by software available for FreeBSD. This would include .mp3, .avi, .txt, .rtf, .pdf, .jpg, .gif, ... If not, please suggest a free UNIX based operating system that does, and works with AMD64. You may want to look at the Darwin project. It is the open source project that was a spin off of OS X. It may support some of the file formats used by OS X but it isn't going to run any of the software that requires Aqua (the OS X GUI) since that isn't part of Darwin.

Is it better to run vsftpd standalone or using inetd? A friend of mine told me that it's more secure to do it standalone, and apparently that's the recommended method now. If that's the case, how do I go about getting vsftpd to run when the machine boots up? It doesn't look like there's a vsftpd_enable that I can use, like I can with other services. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
growfs failure
Hi, all. Running FreeBSD 5.3 using hardware RAID (Dell Perc/4 Di). I added a disk to the Logical Volume, rebuilt the RAID array, resized the slice (fdisk), and changed the label (bsdlabel). All of that worked just fine. However, when I tried to grow the filesystem, growfs failed, saying growfs: bad inode number 1 to ginode. Searching the archives, I saw a similar report using vinum, and there was no real solution, but the suggested workaround was to fsck the device, and then growfs would work. In my case, that didn't fix the problem. Is there anything that I can try to make it work, or am I stuck with dump/newfs/restore? Thanks.

what I was looking for.
It appears that it always formats a new filesystem because that's what
mount_mfs did, and mdmfs is a replacement for mount_mfs. I agree
with you that that should not be the default behavior for a file-backed
(vnode) disk, so I wrote a little patch to fix that:
[patch omitted]
So, what IS the correct way to create and use file-based file
systems?
The patch I provided defaulted to NOT formatting the
filesystem when used with the -F option. This is the
opposite of the normal behavior, creating the risk of
a /etc/fstab that assumes that the filesystem will not
be formatted being used with a new release that will format
it by default, thus destroying the filesystem. That
would be very very bad.
So here is a new patch that modifies mdmfs / mount_mfs
to behave as it does now, except that it will not format
the filesystem before mounting if you supply the -A
(mount as-is) option. Thus, to use /etc/fstab to mount
a file-backed filesystem without reformatting the filesystem,
put something like this in /etc/fstab
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-A,-F /home/bob/mdfile,noauto 0 0
So, here is a patch to add this to the original mdmfs,
as well as a patch to the man page.

followup on help needed on configuring rl0
hi everyone, I have been able to manually setup my rl0 without Xserver and BEFORE this stinking rl0 : watchdog timeout error message appeared at boot time and I could surf with NO problem, so that means that Freesbie recognizes and initializes my realtek 8139 nic (it is integrated on my medion laptop's motherboard) very well. In order to do this, I had to interrupt the boot process just before the place where the error message comes. Any idea as to how I could fix this ? ps : it does the same problem whether I use the Freesbie livecd or my installation of it on my hard drive. thanks in advance for your help :o) original message : hi everyone, I am a very enthusiastic FreeBSD newbie (I have wanted to use FreeBSD for years, but thanks to the latest Freesbie 1.1 which is awesome, I have finally made the step). I have a good knowledge of linux administration, both system and network and am presently learning the correspondances with FreeBSD line commands. So, here is my problem for which I would need your help : on my laptop (medion 1GHz mobile, with a realtech 8129/8139 network card), my network card is detected and recognized as what it is but, whether I use sysinstall and its network config wizard or dhclient or assign manually a network address with netmask and so on (ifconfig inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the route also manually, it never changes (whether rebooted in between or not), but says my ip is 0.0.0.0 and dhclient complains that it cannot find any dhcp server although, on another computer with the very same network cable and networkplug on the wall, it has no problem whatsoever furthermore, when i boot under linux, it works perfectly fine ... thanks in advance for your help hb4j ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
