mutt working throu NFS only in read-only
Hello, I have some trouble in NFS configure. I need to read mail through NFS. So I say on the server: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/exports: /var/mail 172.16.0.2 On client: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo mount_nfs 172.16.0.1:/var/mail ~user/mnt/nfs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l ~user/mnt/nfs ... -rw--- 1 user user 28610895 8 10:06 user ...

Is this a function or a structure???(once again, a mind-boggling example from Kernighan)
Hi,
On chapter 6 section 2 of The C Programming
Language, the topic is Structures and Function.
His very first example for this topic contains the
lines of code:
struct point makepoint(int x, int y)
{
struct point temp;
temp.x = x;
temp.y = y;
return temp;
}
As I can understand it, he is trying to declare a
structure of type point, and the value of that
structure will be the return value of the function
makepoint, or is it a function definition?
Can anyone enlighten me if this is really a structure
declaration or a function? If this is a structure,
then there must be a definition outside the main for
the function makepoint, right?Only that he didn't
showed anything.
But if this is already a function definition, like all
of his examples before, perhaps a simple program
should look like this
#include...
/* declare function makepoint */
/*i don't know how, do you?:) */
main()
{
/* call function make point and pass some arguments */
/* i'm not sure how to do this either.. help =( */
print(%d%d, newcreatedstruct.x,newlycreatedstruct.y)
}
struct point makepoint(int x, int y)
{
struct point temp;
temp.x = x;
temp.y = y;
return temp;
}
My problem is how am i going to call the function
makepoint. Why is there the word point in the above
definition of makepoint.
Another thing is the words temp.x and temp.y, if they
are both members of structure temp, why didn't the
author declared it first, instead he immediately
initializing it to (x, y)
I'm reading the Notes To accompany The C Programming
Language-
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/krnotes/top.html;
but it didn't help me that much in this topic. Perhaps
you could. I have only 2 chapters left to read and I
can't wait to reach the topics unix system calls, and
sockets. But I don't want to leave this chapter
floating in the air as if I've never read it.
I really need all the help I can get.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
jayson

No, he is defining a function 'makepoint' that returns a value of type
'struct point'.
'struct point' is presumably defined at some earlier point.
(At a guess 'struct point' is defined as:
struct point
{
int x;
int y;
};
Such a definition would at least be reasonable, and consistent wwith
the usage of 'struct point' in the function 'makepoint')

It is just a patch (a file generated by diff(1) that outputs the
difference between two files, generally the original file, and the
modified file).
It just changes the value 268435455 to 268435454.
For more information see diff(1) and patch(1).
After modifying this file, do I simply recompile my kernel? Here is
how i go about recompiling mine (open to suggestions):
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
# vi MYKERNEL
# config MYKERNEL
# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
You have to patch the file '/usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c' with:
# patch /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c patchfile
And then recompile your kernel.
Personally I use the traditional way (procedure 1) for just compiling
the kernel.
Im new to kernel compiling and never patched files in the source
before.
Keep up the good work guys! I love this OS.

Re: Thunderbird crash
Thanks for the suggestion. However the only other report of Thunderbird problems I could find was someone running latest Xorg on 5.something.

Re: ttydX and xterm size (LINES and COLUMNS understanding)

After the vi session only 24 lines (or whatever type I set in /etc/ttys) are used, but man works correctly. Why can I use different terminal sizes on the local machine and in ssh sessions but not over a serial console? If I set setenv LINES 37 and setenv COLUMNS 100 it works also on the serial line but why or how can vi and others know what size my terminal is via ssh session? I'm sure this behaviour is adoptable to serial consoles too. Telnet and ssh have out-of-band control sequences that let the client pass things like terminal size to the server. There's no equivalent Where are they set? I can't find any environment variable which reflect this. It's part of the tty interface (man 4 tty). You can run stty -a to see the settings. Forcing a particular screen size can be done with stty 80 25 for example. for serial lines. You can get the screen size from vt100 terminals (and many emulators) though, by moving the cursor to the far lower-right corner, asking the terminal for the cursor position, and reading the result on stdin. Even with knwon values I have the problem that when I recall the previous command in tcsh which was longer than one line there's no linefeed, the second line overwrites the first line. My problem is that I don't really understand how and why different applications seem to use different methods of displaying text and determining size values. man, vi and tcsh are at least very different. Any links highly appreciated. vi seems to look for $LINES and $COLUMNS and will use them instead of the tty's reported size. Most other programs always trust the tty (since they have to trust it anyway to respond to window size changes). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Strange Xorg problems - SOLVED

First time I try to startx the screen is corrupted, the mouse moves very slowly (if at all) and sometimes the only way out is to kill the window manager by SSH'ing in from a remote host. What is odd is that the second time I run startx it works perfectly! Same for all subsequent starts, so only the very first startx after a boot has this problem. Lookling through the logs I can see that there is a failure to open the device /dev/dri/card0 first time, but it seems to work second time. I managed to find some references to problems with dri by googling but could not find any resolutions. I have attached a dump from dmesg after starting X so you can see the boot and drm messages. Also attached are logs from Xorg after both a bad and a good start. I hope attachments are ok. One think I noticed from the dmesg dump is that the graphics card is detected as an ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF, but Linux said it was an M3. Not sure if that is relevant. I used to have RedHat Linux 7.2 and then 9 running on this machine and never had any problems with X, was even able to play DVD's perfectly using Ogle, so I am sure Xorg should work. Does anyone know what is going on here? Have I made a mistake somewhere?? I fixed it! It was simply a matter of adding r128_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf.

Therefore, I first want to install 5.3 on ad6 (actually ad6s1 I believe) and dual boot between ad4s1(4.10) and ad6s1(5.3) during the migration phase. I'm a bit uncertain as to the procedure to get to the dual boot status. Currently, I have no boot manager installed. Can I install 5.3 onto ad6s1 and from sysinstall install the FreeBSD Boot Manager to both ad4 and ad6? Or should I first do 'fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad4' from within 4.10 (as per the handbook)? Or is 'boot0cfg -B ad4' the proper way of doing it? Essentially, setting it up as a dual boot is a good idea, since you have the room. You can use the install CD and I believe it will do everything for you. Tell it to install the boot manager. It should be installed on the first bootable disk. I believe the installer will do it for you if you say to install the standard FreeBSD iboot manager. I think the MBR will also need to be installed on the as6 disk as well. If the installer does not want to put on one of those MBRs, then you will have to do it with fdisk as you indicate. That can be done from a boot from your 4.xxx system or from the fixit CD which is on the FreeBSD disk 2. Boot the CD up and quit out of the kernel config stuff and then find Fixit in the subsequent menu. Either way, it will not muck up you 4.10 installation - unless you select the wrong disk for the whole install, of course. jerry Then just make sure you choose to make the ad6s1 slice bootable and it will write the boot block on to it as well.

Re: qlogic 2340 and dell cx200
Hi, I have been trying to use a SAN system using Dell CX200 fiber SAN Storage with Qlogic 2340 (PCI-X 133) HBA. But I had lots of error messages and unstable OS behaviour. I have tried different scenarios on that system. This qlogic 2340 card has a qlogic 2312 chipset which is recognized by my kernel: isp0: Qlogic ISP 2312 PCI FC-AL Adapter port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 0xfcd0-0xfcd00fff irq 24 at device 6.0 on pci3 But in my test setup I receive following errors: (da0:isp0:0:0:0): READ(06).

I have enabled ispfw and my system sometime recognizes my LUN's that is smaller than 8 GB (I am not sure about size. I have tried 5GB LUNs). I can format and use it in one of my tries. But after adding a second 5GB LUN my system finds it as da1 but can't format it. I have also added a 30 GB LUN. This LUN can't be formatted to. You must use ispfw until I rewrite the driver to recognize the 2Klogin options- some of the newer cards and f/w have an option for doing 2048 port logins (instead of 0..255)- the data structures change substantially because of this, so in the interim (and its generally a good idea anyway), make sure ispfw is either loaded at boot time or compiled into your kernel.

I am very new to that SAN concepts. But I am thinking that the HBA card is the problem but don't have a chance to try another HBA. I have also used ISP_TARGET_MODE=1 in my kernel (both 5.3R and 5-STABLE). But that totally disabled isp card. Don't turn on ISP_TARGET_MODE- that's to make the FreeBSD box a target, not an initiator.

Please note that the original space occupied by the slice and the
place I moved it to did not overlap at all, so I have no idea if
you'll run into problems when you overwrite the start of it. It would
probably work, but if you have to start over for some reason, you're
sunk -- and you'd need some sort of boot media to get it to work..
Maybe you can copy it one partition at a time?
Also, beware that the FreeBSD disklabel seems to use absolute offsets
instead of relative offsets. If you copy the whole slice at once,
something like
# bsdlabel /dev/{old slice} /tmp/text-label
# bsdlabel -R /dev/{new slice} /tmp/text-label
should work, since the human-readable output uses relative offsets.
(But beware; I'm just working from memory here and haven't tested
those commands at all.)
If you copy the data one partition at a time (as I ended up doing for
some reason) it's a bit more complicated: you have to set up the
disklabel before you start, but then when you copy partition a, the
label will be messed up(assuming partition a starts at the beginning
of the slice). I just fixed the label again after copying partition
a, and it seemed to work, but I can't guarantee that the system won't
re-read the label while dd is working and decide that the destination
partition is suddenly somewhere else and kill your original slice.
Er, just sharing my experience. You might want to wait for furthur
guidance, since all this is pretty messy.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you for your reply.
I only want to experiment (I can store all the data in my FreeBSD system
to my first disk).
Aren't Partition Magic and such programs so dangerous as 'dd' in this
case?
'df' shows me the following:
/dev/ad2s4f 16G2.9G 12G19%/usr
Is it recommended to make '/usr' shorter (before moving) or it makes
things more complicated (I mean, I will have to move all other
partitions near '/usr', change BSD label, and revert the whole process
after moving the slice)? I also think I can delete the swap partition
(998 MB).
Can growfs(8) make a partition shorter? If not, can this be done?
I don't think there's currently any way to shorten a UFS filesystem.
How can I resize/create swap partitions?
I don't think swap partitions have any particular format, so just create a
partition of the appropriate size and swapon (man 8 swapon). If you want to
resize one that's currently in use for some reason, be sure to swapoff the
partition first.
You mentioned copying the root partition will overrite the BSD label.
So is the BSD label in the root partition?
I'm pretty sure the BSD label is stored at the start of the disk, although I
don't know of any documentation that says that. It's pretty much a guess.
So, if your root partition covers the start of the slice, then it will
include the disklabel as part of it. I guess the UFS2 filesytem knows about
disklabels and can co-exist with them.
Or I could be wrong about all this. I just know that when I copied
/dev/ad0s4a to /dev/ad0s2a, I'm pretty sure I remember the disklabel got
clobbered and I had to recreate it before going on to copy b, e, f and g.
For my personal interest: Where can I find information about the
phisical locations of the slice table, BSD label, and file system
data(TOC, superblock, etc.; not files)? And the file system components?
The slice table is common to all x86-style computers (referred to as the
partition table outside of BSD land), so you can probably just search for
partition table and find lots of info. I'm pretty sure it's stored
somewhere in the first 512 bytes of your hard disk, though.
I don't know any details about the bsd label, filesystem etc, but you can
probably find info about it in the FreeBSD docs if you look...
Is there a patch or something like that that allows 'dd' to perform the
transfer from the end to the begining (to move partitions forward)?
Not that I know of, but I haven't looked... again, you're probably safest
copying everywhere to some other medium and then copying it back once you're
sure you've got a working backup.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale
Sorry to be so vague about all this... I'm really not an expert about this
sort of thing. But nobody else has replied, so...

Mark Goodell, Richmond, VA. Part of the answer to your question relates to the definition of operating system FreeBSD will boot from 2 floppies - thats how the install works and if you were building an embedded system without all the normal utilities and user interface you could do so from a flash card with ease. If you want a real computer - with compilers, tools UI and the like then you'll need a bigger box. Some real world examples: m0n0wall runs a bare bones FreeBSD from an 8MB flash card but suggests 64MB of RAM.. I have an old PIII/200 with a 4G disk and 64MB memory running FreeBSD that runs my solar power system - it's total overkill the cpuload runs about 2%. However to compile some of the tools I wanted to use 64MB was too small - the compiler was paging it it took forever. If I wanted to just run the solar power application I could probably run the whole thing on a 486 class machine with 32mb ram and boot from a 32mb flash card (but why buy a new box when you've got a 'free' old one?) My home server / router / stratum one time server / firewall / fax server / and every thing else server runs on a $350 eMachines box with a 2.9GHz Celeron and 512MB memory (oh and 2TB of disks :) It comes down to what do you want to do, what application do you want to run.

Re: Disk Geometry
Thanks Kevin, This is quite helpful, only I have a fairly unusual disk structure, since the disk was originally a dual boot system with windows XP which I eventually converted into a full ufs drive. So all the BSD partitions are located on what was originally the second half of the disk. Is there anyway I can escape out of the automount prompt and run fdisk, or anything.

Problems with Cron not deleting log files
All, I am having a problem. Back in December I installed FreeBSD5.3 onto a server and have just recently found some new time to 'play' with the settings etc. I think I know what happened but I'm not sure how to fix it. I currently have a 'large number' of auth.log.x and cron.xx files under /var/log. When I first installed I remember reading some advice on 'securing' FreeBSD a little and ran the following commands: # echo root /var/cron/allow echo root /var/at/at.allow # chmod o= /etc/crontab chmod o= /usr/bin/crontab chmod o= /usr/bin/at chmod o= /usr/bin/atq chmod o= /usr/bin/atrm chmod o= /usr/bin/batch chmod o= /etc/fstab chmod o= /etc/ftpusers chmod o= /etc/group chmod o= /etc/hosts chmod o= /etc/hosts.allow chmod o= /etc/hosts.equiv chmod o= /etc/hosts.lpd chmod o= /etc/inetd.conf chmod o= /etc/login.access chmod o= /etc/login.conf chmod o= /etc/newsyslog.conf chmod o= /etc/rc.conf chmod o= /etc/ssh/sshd_config chmod o= /etc/sysctl.conf chmod o= /etc/syslog.conf chmod o= /etc/ttys chmod o= /var/log chflags sappnd /var/log chflags sappnd /var/log/* chmod o= /usr/bin/users chmod o= /usr/bin/w chmod o= /usr/bin/who chmod o= /usr/bin/lastcomm chmod o= /usr/sbin/jls chmod o= /usr/bin/last chmod o= /usr/sbin/lastlogin chmod ugo= /usr/bin/rlogin chmod ugo= /usr/bin/rsh I believe that for some reason the Cron daemon was unable to copy the files properly when it was trying to turn them over.

In Gentoo linux, you only have to create 3 partitions: /boot swap / In FreeBSD, you seem to have to create many more: / swap /usr /var /tmp This is standard for all unices including linux to create all these partitions. On all my servers whether they be Linux, Solaris, or BSD I create just as many partitions. You can just create / and swap on BSD or Linux just as easily, but it's good practice for servers to break it up. What happens when some program like dhcpd goes crazy and fills up the log files with many megabytes of log entries. Well, on my system, it just filled up /var, but users kept chugging along with their work on /home. Or what about that rouge user that fills /home with several gigabytes of junk. My system daemons are still running fine working in /var. The most important think though is to not fill up / as that should contain only the most important tools neccessary to boot and fix a system, everything else is better if kept on a seperate partition, particuarly anything that is constantly reading and writing like programs use /var, /tmp, and /home for. But this is only recomendation, not a requirement for any unice. As for /boot, that's only a neccesity for certain older boot loaders running on older hardware, but with large harddrives, greater than 512 megs, I believe. On modern systems it's unneccessary. I don't bother creating /boot partitions on any of my systems anymore, it's not needed regardless of what other people may tell you. FreeBSD would have the same problem if it was created on a partition starting after cylinder 1023 on the same older hardware, but I've never had to run into that hardware with FreeBSD so I'm not sure how they combat it. In particular, it seems that /boot MUST be on the same partition as /. This stinks, as now you have to create separate partitions for /usr and /var, which wastes space. I tried to make /boot it's own partition, and I succeeded, to a certain extent. I actually made /boot/boot, because the FreeBSD 5.3 boot manager wants to look under the /boot directory for loader. If /boot is it's own partition, then you need a /boot/boot/loader. Anyway, that worked. The kernel boots now, but it prompts me at the beginning of the rc process for the root device. I give it: ufs:ad1s1d Which is my / partition, and it boots successfully. Is it possible to automate this process so that the loader knows to use ad1s1d as my root device?

Hi. It seems i have the same kmem_malloc problem as some others has had in their SMP computers that is running FreeBSD 5.3, however, it is also different... my problem doesnt occur after an extended period of running the server, it occurs randomly at bootup. Another difference is that it is not a 2GB memory machine, it runs at 128MB. Now, since the previous fixes all said to increase the VM_KMEM settings im guessing this wont work for me since i have 128MB physical memory and 256MB swap (actually, ive tested it as well, doesnt work). And yes, i have checked all previous bug reports containing the word kmem, the closest one ive found is this kern/75510. In that report there still is some unanswered questions though. So... could anyone think of a way for me to fix this? And please dont say get more memory, rather, say this module is using one hell of alot of memory so remove it and decrease the VM_KMEM and it should work... seriously, why does the kernel use 320MB+ of memory? Something to do with the SMP code? And, if i have to get more memory... how much more should i get? Would 256MB be enough, or does FreeBSD 5.3 only run on 2GB+ machines now?

Help with pine mail reader ... two quickies
Hi, Two config options I cannot seem to find in pine, and wonder if they exist ... if you know what they are: 1. Is there a way to tell pine to QUIT asking me if I want to save space by deleting previous months sent-mail folders ? No, I don't. Ever. How can I get it to quit asking me ? 2. Is there a way to make pine auto-create the new months sent-mail folder on the first of each month ? I have pine up and running for sometimes 60-90 days at a time, which means that it saves three months of sent-mail in the month in which I invoked the program ... because it only seems to make a new sent-mail folder when I restart it. Any way to make it more proactive ? thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html I'm pretty sure my test system at home has only / and swap (because it has a small hard drive), and uses softupdates on /. I'll check when I get home. If you have some other reason for separating /boot from /, explain your actual goal, and perhaps we can help. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I sense much NT in you.

RE: recomendations for multiport serial cards?
You probably don't want to do this. Instead, get some of these devices: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=11175item=575 078rd=1 or if your a Cisco guy, a couple 2514s would do it. Configure these boxes to automatically rlogin to the FreeBSD boxes then instead of a shell for the account, set up your data gathering program.

Re: ./sshd start then nothing
On 2005-03-09, Tsu-Fan Cheng scribbled these curious markings: I am trying to enable sshd on my freebsd5.4 prerelease (I didn't realize this when I cvsup the stable source). Anyway. I read something in the mailing list which said that I should go to /etc/rc.d, then execute ./sshd start from there, this will make ssh-keygen to generate host key and stuff. I did this and there is nothing, the ssh_host_dsa_key is not generated. I have another box which runs 5.3, and it generates key when I did the same thing. I wonder where can it go wrong? Do you have the following line in /etc/rc.conf? sshd_enable=YES You need this line, or otherwise sshd start won't start sshd. You can use forcestart, but that will only start it once, and won't have it restart at each reboot. I recommend reading rc(8) and rc.conf(5) Best Regards, Christopher Nehren -- I abhor a system designed for the user, if that word is a coded pejorative meaning stupid and unsophisticated. -- Ken Thompson If you ask the wrong questions, you get answers like 42 and God.

Re: FreeBSD for the organization
I do not know what to say. Your question is really vague, can you be more specific? I learned by reading the documentation at http://www.mysql.com Fafa Diliha Romanova wrote: to my fellow peers; hello. i'm the board member of this organization. so far i'm using mysql databases for our forum and webmail. what i need to know, and i barely know mysql at all, is how it is best to create and maintain effective member databases on a freebsd system. any suggestions are welcome. all the best, fafa ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cvsup'ing from 4.10 to 5.3.
I was curious as to if it is possible to cvsup from 4.10 to 5.3 (kernel and userland tools). Has anyone done this? Does it work well? Should I avoid doing this on a production box? Thank you. - Ryan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Another difference is that it is not a 2GB memory machine, it runs at 128MB. Could you be more specific about the problem you have? Now, since the previous fixes all said to increase the VM_KMEM settings im guessing this wont work for me since i have 128MB physical memory and 256MB swap (actually, ive tested it as well, doesnt work). [ ... ] say this module is using one hell of alot of memory so remove it and decrease the VM_KMEM and it should work... seriously, why does the kernel use 320MB+ of memory? Something to do with the SMP code? Which module? I am almost certain that your kernel is not trying to use 320+ MB of RAM on a machine with 128 MB of physical memory available, so it is likely that you are misunderstanding something. When you run top, the size of the kernel is best reflected by the wired category. Speaking of which, what does top or vmstat -s say? And, if i have to get more memory... how much more should i get? Would 256MB be enough, or does FreeBSD 5.3 only run on 2GB+ machines now? What tasks are you running on the machine? FreeBSD will quite happily work as a mail server, router, firewall, stuff like that in 128MB, but if you are running X11 and a bunch of graphical apps, more RAM would certainly help. [ If you avoid running a dozen or so virus scanner/antispam perl thingies like SpamAssassin or amavisd with 30MB RSS each, you can run a lightweight mail server fine in 32MB, although FreeBSD 4.x or NetBSD would be better suited for a low-memory environment than FreeBSD 5.x is... ] -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
