It does say, "using a more likely geometry".  The numbers are vastly
different then what the BIOS says, but as I said, the capacity seems
correct and it functions normally.

I just don't want to have any trouble down the road...

Location of openssl certs in FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi

 I am trying to set up bincimap with ssl support as a part of a wider qmail
setup for a mailserver.

 I have openssl installed (man openssl opens up the right manpage). I want
to know where are the certs installed. The reason is that the FAQ on
bincimap's webpage states :

 "SSL in Binc IMAP is quite simple to set up. First you need a PEM encoded
private key and certificate file. In some distributions, you can generate
this file by changing to /usr/share/ssl/certs and running "make". A script
will give you the option to build a PEM file."

 http://www.bincimap.org/bincimap-faq.html#q3

 I tried locate cert. It throws up an openssl tree (looks like an
installation tree) in /usr/src (might have been the result of an aborted
cvsup operation a few days ago).

 Anyways, where are the certs installed in FreeBSD ?

Thanks.

IANAE, but I believe FBSD is simply stating that it doesn't find
the BIOS's numbers to be what it wants, so it's going to use
its own.  This would explain the effect you see in the second

is perfectly good advice in this instance.  I've seen the error

Create a /usr/local/bin/rbash script containing the following lines:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
exec /usr/local/bin/bash --login --restricted "$@"

The initial #! line is necessary, in my opinion, because having it there
means you don't need to depend on the fact that shell scripts do accept
options on the #! line.

Set the permissions and owner of the new script and add it to /etc/shells:

% chmod 0555 /usr/local/bin/rbash
% chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/rbash
% echo '/usr/local/bin/rbash' >> /etc/shells

Than you should be able to use '/usr/local/bin/rbash' as the login shell
of a user and have the user restricted in the HOME directory.

Yes, the Alpha was a DEC product.

I'll  check it out, thanks.  It's interesting to see which
organizations produce winning products and which wind up
as food for larger fish.

Getting back to which (if any) Linux is worth bothering
with, this is www.ubuntulinux.org has for their lead paragraph.


"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to
others". Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all
are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu
to the software world. 


This sounds a lot like FreeBSD; it's an ethic I can get 
behind.  Worth checking out.


thanks to the entire group!

It's a Digital 5000 with a PII. As for Windows apps, I understand that
the simpler they are the better they run; I've tried Quicken and
Windows Media Player with no problems; MS Office
won't load on this box, although it ran on the Dell.

I understand Crossover Office is simply a
tweaked version of Wine. XandrOS has a list of Windows stuff they've
tested.  Their X desktop is a slimmed-down version of KDE. 

I haven't dual-booted this particular Linux, but I don't know why you
couldn't. You don't need a Windows OS to use Crossover Office; it will
create its own fake C: drive when installed. It comes with Lilo and
maybe Grub, I think, but you can always use the FreeBSD boot manager as well.

For what it's worth, Digital 5000s are available, or were last year,
on eBay for around $30; without hard drives. Shipping was about double
that.

Or maybe you mean: All the Windows apps you can't wait to
have crash and burn!!  Can you run this flavor of Linux
and dual-boot FBSD?  About the *only* thing I want to use
Win for is the billions and billions of CD apps.  Like

bash restricted shell

[doug]

On a standard 4.11 install /usr/local/bin/bash = v2.04. rbash does not exist. So
I added it as an sh script. This works okay in that normal things I tried do not
break out. This is probably good enough for the users I would give this shell
to. My question is basically: what is the "right" way to do this?

I can not find syntax for shopt and the various forms of set I tried either get
a syntax error or do not invoke bash as a restricted shell.

Thanks for any thoughts

Incorrect geometry

[Mike Loiterman]

 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

When I do a new install of FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE I get an error saying the
drive geometry is incorrect.  In the next screen, I put in the correct
geometry, as reported by the BIOS, but after I hit q, I get the same error.

The drive is a brand new 160 SATA Segate.  The geometry FreeBSD suggests
yield 152 Gigs, slices correctly and functions perfectly.  I'm plannning on
reformating anyway as this is only a test run, but do I need to be
conserned about the error?

You probably didn't cvsup the entire src/sys tree.  Use the src-all

I am running XandrOS Linux on an old Digital PC box. It is almost

It updates just like Windows Update (which is good or bad, depending

Probably it should be ad2s1.
That may make bsdlabel be unhappy.

Partition c length should be the size of the slice.  
Look at what the block counts are.

which hardware for db/app

[Bob Ababurko]

Hello-
I have a chance of migrating hardware for our web/app/db configuration. 
   Currently, I am running web and php on two loadbalanced Sun 
Ultra2(2x300Mhz, 512MB RAM) running FreeBSD 5.3 with a SUN Ultra60 with 
the same procs and RAM as the web,(2x300Mhz, 512MB RAM).  I am having 
issues with the db running slowly at this time and do not really know 
where to start to determine the cause or fix since I do not know much 
about mysql.  I did have some issues with the db and ran isamchk to fix 
errors on a few of the tables but since then it ha been running slow. 
Can someone possibly show me to a resource that may be abe to help me 
determine the issues that I am having as well as some possible tweeks 
for mysql 3.23.58 server, which is what is running.  On the web/php 
side, we have apache 1.3.31 and php4-4.3.8_2.

I also have hardware that I am gooing to posibly migrate these servers 
to:  I have a dual AMD 2800+(2200Mhz) and an AMD 2200+(1500Mhz).  I am 
wondering what I should use for what here.  I am not sure if O should 
use the dual amd for the apache/php or the mysql.  If anyone has any 
ideas on what would be the optimal setup with the given hardware then 
please let me hear it.  I would appreciate the input.

thanks,
Bob

hi,
here are some short notes for the points you mentioned.
- - getent missing
there is no Fedora or SuSE like getent in FreeBSD!
but you can use pw(8) to show all available users
- ---
prompt> pw usershow -a
- ---
if you think the samba documentation needs updating in this section, 
please report it to the samba team.

- - winbind separator change from + to \
there is an smb.conf(5) option to change it back to +
the smb.conf(5) manpage says:
- ---
Please  note  that  setting  this parameter to + causes problems
with group membership at least on glibc systems, as the  character + is 
used as a special character for NIS in /etc/group.
- ---
if it was sometimes an m on SuSE system, it was due to modifications made 
by the SuSE people. neither the samba team nor FreeBSD has anything to do 
with it.

- - username map option
you should carefully read the smb.conf(5) manpage as there where some 
changes around samba-3.0.8 in this area.
you should also read the Release Notes for samba-3.0.8 for clarification.

- - nagios account
the account with this uid comes from installing the net-mgmt/nagios port
the uid is automatically generated, but you can simply change it and 
chown(8) all files and diretories belonging to the old uid to the new one.

- - file deletion using the WinXP box
i will not try to analyze this until you have taken the above comments 
into account.

ssh timeout on 4.x

[Josh Paetzel]

I have a 4.9 RELEASE system that is running as a gateway / webserver 
for a small LAN.  From the internal LAN I can ssh to it fine.  From 
the internet ssh times out.  There are no firewall rules interfering.  
I haven't tried ssh in debug mode although next time I'm on-site I 
intend to enable it.  

The webserver works fine, another oddity is that I can't telnet to 
port 80 on the machine from the internet.

Here's the "errors" I get trying ssh and telnet respectively:

port 22: Operation timed out

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: connect to address 
66.103.77.xx: Operation timed out

Anyone have any suggestions of things I can try next time I'm on site?

I've not tried it yet, but I like the look of:

It's based on Debian but aims to update several times a year instead of once 
every several years.  Also updates are done online rather that via a stack of 
disks. 

Gentoo's good too, but it's relatively high maintainence.

kern.maxssiz=2147483648

my

You would be able to if they were sysctls, but they're just tunables.
You can see what tunables are set by running "kenv", but that only
shows entries that you or the kernel have explicitly set.  Personally,
I think all the TUNABLE_*_FETCH variables in /sys/kern/subr_parm.c
should be sysctls with the CTLFLAG_TUN flag set, so they are visible as
both tunables and sysctls.  Some currently have sysctl nodes created in
other places (kern.maxfiles is in /sys/kern/kern_descrip.c, for
example), but many don't.
OK, thanks!  I learn something new every day.  I was not aware if

Depending on how much you like to do and how much you want a

BSD oriented like gentoo Linux for its package management system that

I'm thinking of adding both Doze and SuSE to one or two of
my platforms.  (I'm going tolearn Frnch if it's the last thing
I ever do, and y'gotta have Windoze.)Anyhow, how hard it is 
to set up one of those dual boot programs?  And-or, is there 
a dual-boot port for people who have never used one before?

I just bought a 200GB drive and figure I'll give Doze 2G and
SuSE maybe 20.  My primary drive is a 40G.  Having ballpark
230G total should support everything.

If I install Windows 1st (I have to, right?), should I save
NN gigs of disc space for SuSE when I buy their CD?  Is there
a better flavor on Linux that I should consider?

thanks for any suggestions,

gary

It would work, but...

Cron stores it's files in /var/cron/tabs/. Each user has it's own file
(with the user's name). You can simply copy all (or some) of the files in
that directory over to the new location.

The biggest reason why you are not supposed to edit those directly is that
cron can have a bit of a fit if the file format is invalid. As long as it
was validated when it was first saved it should copy fine.

I am following the How To from this URL: 
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2464512
Here are some things that I've noticed:
 Group names appear all lower-case:
 getent missing, I am pretty sure that it can be found in Fedora Core 3 and 
also SuSe. The thing has always been missing in FreeBSD and the Samba3 docs may 
need updating.
 Created a usermap file but it doesn't appear to honor it:
  username map = /usr/local/etc/username.map
   =
 Inside mapped username directory on FreeBSD by way of XP browsing access is 
denied in creating anything.
 Inside mapped user's directory on FreeBSD via XP and when deleting something 
it goes away but then a refresh on XP window and the item returns. No access 
denied message is thrown.
 I don't know if I did it or Samba did it but in the /etc/passwd there are user 
names within the range of idmap uid/gid (This is on Samba 3.0.5) but on the 
Samba 3.0.11 no user names have been changed (they sill have the FreeBSD 
assigned Ids).
   idmap uid = 15000-2
   idmap gid = 15000-2
 in passwd; 
 nagios:*:15035:15030::0:0:Nagios pseudo-user:/var/spool/nagios:/nonexistent
 Separator has changed from a '+' to a '\' (Wish somebody would stop doing 
that, heck on a SuSe Machine, it once was an 'm' that one baffled me.) Unless 
of course I'm thinking of something else, but still why did it go from TEL+ to 
TEL\?
  Samba 3.0.5 wbinfo -g reports:
   TEL+Exchange Domain Servers
  Samba 3.0.11 wbinfo -g reports:
   TEL\exchange domain servers
Oh, and most importantly... Thanks for helping with that CVS thing. Worked 
great. My working system allows me to do the things I do while the 3.0.11 just 
drives me nutso. I'm thinking of trying 3.0.5 on the other system to see if it 
is behaving. But not just yet.

/stand/sysinstall would be the one that read the in-memory label. The other
way around seems impossible to me. But then how can these two be different?
I did close /stand/sysinstall and restarted. The in memory one *should* be
updated right? If this wasn't the case than it seems to me like bug in
sysinstall, or more likely, freebsd itself. 
Normally I should simply try rebooting the system and all ambiguities should
be solved. The problem is I'm working remote and rebooting is kind of a
risk.

copying cron files between computers

[Doug Poland]

Hello,

I'm want to keep the cron files between two 5.3-STABLE computers 
"synchronized".  From my reading on cron(8), crontab(1), and crontab(5),
accomplishing this might be a little convoluted.  

Would something like this work?

computer-A:  

root# crontab -u joeuser -l > /usr/home/joeuser/cron

get files from computer-A to computer-B


computer-B:

root# crontab -u joeuser  /usr/home/joeuser/cron


As an alternative, would anyone suggest a cron replacement, like mcron?
As I read it, mcron stores it's files in a users ~/.cron directory.
Thereby eliminating the dump and read of each user's cron.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Doug

Well, is one of them reading only the in-memory label and the other
reading the label on the disk?When you did the fdisk, did you
make sure it changed on disk.  Then, did the in-memory label get
updated?

RE: format slice

[Freek Nossin]

Thank you for your suggestions, I followed them and this is what happened: 

pcwin451# fdisk -s
/dev/ad0: 39704 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
PartStartSize Type Flags
   1:  6320820177 0x07 0x00
   2:2082024019201392 0xa5 0x80

Part 1 is the one I want to convert to a freebsd slice. 

Now I used fdisk -f  with the input 

p 1 0 0 0

the operation succeeded. I did again: 

pcwin451# fdisk -s
/dev/ad0: 39704 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
PartStartSize Type Flags
   2:2082024019201392 0xa5 0x80

And this was indeed the output I expected. So I thought lets see what
sysinstall thinks of all this. Selecting fdisk in the menu showed me a disk
layout where the NTFS partition still was on the disk. 

Disk name:  ad0FDISK Partition
Editor
DISK Geometry:  39704 cyls/16 heads/63 sectors = 40021632 sectors (19541MB)

Offset   Size(ST)End Name  PType   Desc  Subtype

  20820240   19201392   40021631ad0s2  8freebsd  165


How can this be? I've always assumed that sysinstall uses the fdisk tool?
And which one is "correct"? Is it wise to try creating a new slice with
fdisk?

Hello,

Try using 'fdisk' directly (man 8 fdisk) and see the complete error
messages.

For example, to delete the second slice (check the numbering with
'fdisk -s') save the following in a file and then run 'fdisk -f '
(but first try the test mode with the -t flag to see if it works as
expected):

p 2 0 0 0

Best Regards,

Well, it looks like you started right. 
But "write changes" can cover a lot of things - all of which 
need to be done.

After you delete the NTFS slice,  you must create a new FreeBSD slice
in its place.   Then you need to do the disklabel part to make at
least one partition in the slice (more are possible if you want to
divide it for some reason.   Then that (those) slice(s) must
be newfs-ed.  You also need to establish a mount point and mount the
newly newfs-ed filesystem(s).   Sysinstall should do all that for you 
if you do all of its steps before bailing out of sysinstall.
It might not do the mount though.  But, it should create the mount
point and put the mount line in /etc/fstab.

Alternatively, you can do it all yourself and skip sysinstall.
That is what I normally do.   
Study the man pages for each of these before starting.  They 
have recently been improved, but can still be very confusing.

The steps are:
fdisk  -- overwrites the NTFS slice and creates a 
  new FreeBSD slice in its place.  Set it
  active if you want to boot from it.
disklabel  -- writes a FreeBSD label and divides the
  slice in to partitions.
newfs  -- creates a filesystem in each partition
  you run it on.
mkdir  -- create the new mount point  mkdir /newmnt
  or whatever you want to call it
edit /etc/fstab  -- to enter your mount information so it
will mount at boot time without you doing
by hand all the time.
fsck   -- the new file system, just in case.
mount -a   -- To mount the file system

If you have done everything and it still doesn't work, then more
information is needed to make any good guesses.   But, check all 
this first.

Hello,

Try using 'fdisk' directly (man 8 fdisk) and see the complete error
messages.

For example, to delete the second slice (check the numbering with
'fdisk -s') save the following in a file and then run 'fdisk -f '
(but first try the test mode with the -t flag to see if it works as
expected):

p 2 0 0 0

I copied the files "w22n50.sys" and "w22n51.inf" out of the
Windows partition to /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis,

ndiscvt -i w22n51.inf -s w22n50.sys ndis_driver_data.h

As you can read below, I already assumed, that you don't
have "device bpf" in your kernel. Can you confirm or deny it?

If your system configuration was right, putting the line
dhclient ndis0
in the script should do the trick. But if it doesn't work
if you type it by hand, it won't work in the script either.

Is pinging the only problem aside the dhcp issue?
If it is, you might have a look in the AP configuration.
Some manufacturers consider ping a security problem,
and block ICMP echo requests by default.

No read permission on NTFS files shared by Samba

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 with Samba 3.0.7,1.

I can read all files from a Windows 2000 Pro. But when I try to access
a mount point that is an NTFS filesystem, I have no read permission
(files and directories appear as zero length files) until I access them
from the server machine (like doing an 'ls').

My configuration file is as follows:

= BEGIN =
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/12/11 19:24:02

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = VARNET
server string = FreeBSD 5.3
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No

[mnt]
comment = Mounted Filesystems
path = /mnt
guest ok = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[ale]
comment = Ale's Home DIrectory
path = /home/ale
guest ok = Yes
= END ===

Note: I have subdirectories under '/mnt' like 'w2k', 'wxp', 'cam', and
'tmp'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

P.S.: How can I get a list of shares from a Samba server (using the
Samba utilities)?

Yes (single-user mode isn't the issue; the filesystem needs to be
unmounted or mounted read-only, or to be using UFS snapshots (in 5.x)
in order for fsck to have a consistent snapshot of the data that
doesn't change out from underneath it).

Fast and reliable /tmp partition.

[Александр Деревянко]

Hello Freebsd Questions,
I'm using DVD-R to back up our Perforce SCM server.
The size of backup data is 13Gb now and increase ~ 1Gb in two months.
The full backups was made every week, incrementary - every day.
I have made a custom script to start archiver, split on the fly results 
to adequate sized files (< 1Gb),
evaluate checksum and burn it onto DVD.
The script also verify burned DVD by using stored checksums, and burn 
DVD again if needed.
The problem is: i can't compose DVD's on the fly, i need to save them 
somewhere.

I need to have a big, fast and reliable temporary filesystem.
It doesn't needed to survive reboots.
It must be fast writing. (RAID5 vinum array which i have is slow 
performs writes)
And even if one of the disks in server computer will broke (i have a 
vinum on them),
the backup procedure must still works.

Does anybody have expirience with temporary fast filesystems ?
Best Regards,
Alexander Derevianko.

intlfonts is not installed.  I'll add those and update xorg.conf.
I suspect that I need to update the Keyboard section of xorg.conf

That's one of my questions, too.  A technique that could identify 100
million different computers (as some people have speculated) would need
reliable precision to at least nine decimal places.  That's a pretty
tall order for something like measurement of clock slewing in TCP
packets.

There are other related problems.  So you identify computer A using its
unique clock slew.  How do you prove that in court?  If you move the
machine, or if you change anything about it, the RTC is likely to vary a
bit, changing the slew to a different value.  Just temperature
variations in the room can do that.

Setting up a danish locale

[Steve Kargl]

Problem:  We have a visiting scientist from Denmark, whose laptop
  died a horrible death.  A colleagued asked if I would loan him
  a currently unused system in my office.  I've set up FreeBSD 5.3
  on the system and everything appears to work except for setting
  up a Danish locale.

Disclaimer:  I searched the Handbook, used google, and spent a
  few hours reading up of login.conf, locale support, etc.  But,
  we are stuck without the danish locale.

I have setup a ~/,login_conf in the user home directory that 
contains

dhcp-78-77:kargl[201] cat .login_conf
me:\
:charset=ISO8859-1:\
:lang=da_DK.ISO8859-1:

When we login, we see that the locale is set

dhcp-78-77:kargl[202] locale
LANG=da_DK.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_COLLATE="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_TIME="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_NUMERIC="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_MONETARY="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_MESSAGES="da_DK.ISO8859-1"
LC_ALL=

But any attempt to enter a danish character in for examples xemacs
fails.  From my colleagues comment a "Right-Alt / o" should yield
a lower case "o" with a slash through it.  His system is running
Xorg 6.7.0_9.  I suspect that I need to change/update his xorg.conf

Oh my, HTTP_PROXY was the culprit. Thanks. Strange wget doesn't use

but sue is not resolved.
the /etc/host.conf looks like

and /etc/nsswitch.conf is

What am I missing here? I want sue to be resolved without DNS...

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

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.

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.

  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

Hi,
first, you could check out an earlier version of the ports tree.
Thu Jul 22 14:38:05 2004 UTC was the exact time, the 3.0.5 went into
ports.
But!!
why don't you tell us, what exactly is not working or bad with
samba-3.0.11? it would be much better to fix the bug's or solve the

format slice

[Freek Nossin]

Hello,

I have a freebsd installation on a disk with two slices. One of them has the
current freebsd install, the other has a win2k installation. I want to
convert the win2k slice to a freebsd slice (by deleting the old one and add
a new one). I followed the handbook but when I try to delete the win2k
slice, and want to write the changes to the disk, sysinstall returns "a disk
error". The steps I took were simple:

- run sysinstall en select fdisk
- choose delete on the NTFS slice 
- Write changes

Then sysinstall complains that it cannot do that (no specific information on
the cause of the error is displayed). 

Does anyone know what can be wrong and how can I solve this?

Hello,

I have a camera that is detected as an 'umass' storage device, and it
appears as '/dev/da0' (strangely I can use it as a common storage
device). This is my configuration:

kernel options:

device scbus
device da
device pass
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device umass
device ehci

'/etc/rc.conf' options:

usbd_enable="YES"

To test it you can:

1) Check the devices in '/dev/daX'.
2) # camcontrol devlist
3) Check the boot messages (umass and da) and the messages printed when
you plug the device.

To mount it you have to select a slice (if it has data stored in):

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,
Ale

ugen usually indicates that the system was unable to identify the usb 
device.  Is your adapter supported?  Do you need to load an additional 
driver?  See the online hardware notes:

PPPoE stay connected but with no access????

[perikillo]

  Hi all.
 I was using Freebsd 4.10-p5 very well PPPoE
IPFILTER+IPNAT+gateway, them i decide to test 4.11, and made the
upgrade.

 Ok every thing was find, and again setup my Firewall IPFILTER +
IPNAT + gateway PPPoE, y configured the machine to run PPPoE each time
i turn on the Computer.

  But something start to happend:

  Sometimes the connection dosent respond, my clients could access
the outside world, the link appear to be Up and running:
isp# ifconfig
   tun0
   Public  MyIP > ISP IP
   #PID number

If i make some test like ping to my clients(Windows 2k and XP):
isp#ping win2kac
---Respond--
isp#ping winxp
---Respond--

   Then my local network is working.

But if i test the outside or my DNS:

isp#ping DNS1_IP
Dosent respond
isp#ping DNS2_IP
Dosent respond

 But my connection still Up and Running, then i need to manually
close and run again the connection, supposed that went setup ppp to
run over rc.conf  if fails he restart alone, but because it say that
is running he dont restart.

 Went i was using 4.10-p5 i could leave my machine running days
with out any problem.
 
 Some knows if this is 4.11 problem or something change from 4.10
to 4.11, because i setup equal the files, dont see any changes on my
Readme files went i made the upgrade.

 Any idea

 Thanks all for your time.

This is what you get when fetch can't do a successful dns lookup.

Just a thought, but I had a problem with the dns proxy on my adsl-nat-router 
where certain applications were consistently failing to get DNS resolution, 
and similar applications were consistently working. It went away when I 
disabled dhcp, and entered the isp servers in resolve.conf

To use wget look at FETCH_CMD,  and related variables, 
in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. I think you also need to set NO_SIZE to prevent 
a fetch specific option being used.

You would be able to if they were sysctls, but they're just tunables.
You can see what tunables are set by running "kenv", but that only
shows entries that you or the kernel have explicitly set.  Personally,
I think all the TUNABLE_*_FETCH variables in /sys/kern/subr_parm.c
should be sysctls with the CTLFLAG_TUN flag set, so they are visible as
both tunables and sysctls.  Some currently have sysctl nodes created in
other places (kern.maxfiles is in /sys/kern/kern_descrip.c, for
example), but many don't.

Yes.
At least most likely.There could possibly a real inconsistency,

affect most systems over the course of the day/week/year?

You know, I'm no longer sure that's true.  I think that spam
will stick
around as long as stupid business owners continue to get suckered into
thinking that it's a legitimate means of marketing.  One of my
associate's
customers (a brick and mortar store) was being sweet-talked by
a spammer
into sending a series of broadcasts.  In this situation, the
spammer would
profit off the ignorance of that *business owner*.  Even if
100% of the
messages were blocked, he'd still get his pay for performing
the "service".
Didn't anyone tell your associate's customers that spamming is now
a felony?  And, even if they hire a spammer to do it for them, the law
still prosecutes them for the spamming?
Add some teeth to that law and some lawyers who are willing to pursue 
this in volume, and you'd be on to something.  As it stands, it's like 
prosecuting jaywalkers.  Who bothers?

Even junk faxer's get away with that kind of crap despite the fines 
(happened to catch Tom Martino on the radio yesterday talking about 
it...)

There's no
fundamental, objectively verifiable difference between spam and any
other e-mail,
Actually, there is.  Spam is what I object to.  Non-spam is what I 
don't
object to.
Isn't he referring to the technical side, as in an easy algorithm for a 
computer to examine it and say "Spam!" and get rid of it vs. someone 
sending a relative an email about their experiences using v1agra?

so no automated or technical solution will ever work
completely.
It would if my computer could understand what I'm telling it better. 
;-)
Ever read I, Robot?  I embrace our technological overlords... :-)
Seriously, filters that are customized to the individual are very
effective.  The problem is getting the average person on the street to
put in the time to write a customized e-mail filter for themselves.
Yup...good luck with that one.

I also would like to know why my ~/.Xdefaults configuration is not

I can't answer this question, but want to chime in on this thread just
because I had the same question a few weeks ago, but could never figure
it out.  I poked around my system and Googled until I was blue in the
face, but came up with nothing.  The reason is that I had recently
switched from rxvt to urxvt (for Unicode support) and the default font,
or whichever one it ended up grabbing) looked awful, but I liked very
much the font that rxvt was using.  I even ran a kernel trace on the
program in an attempt to figure out what font it was settling on, but
was only able to get a partial answer from that, as the font lines were
truncated.  As I say, this doesn't help, but I post here only in the
hope that perhaps another post to the thread will catch someones eye who
might know how to figure out what font a particular X terminal is using
when it hasn't been explicity set already.
Don't know about rxvt or urxvt, but for plain old xterm, the font settings 
are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.

atapci0 controller (was: "Sysinstall: No disks found.)

[Robert Grzyb]

Hi!
I want to install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE on Compaq Deskpro 4000 model
5166 (P200 MHz with 48 Mb RAM):
 - Hard drive Samsung SV0432D 4.3 Gb
 - CD-ROM drive Veuego 616P, Acer Peripherals
but when booted kernel doesn't detect my drives!
I decided to try floppies from 4.11-RELASE. The computer boot-up
and detect both drives (with some errors - see attached dmesg.411).
Comparing, I have found out that atapci0 uses incorrect resources:
port 0x1010-0x101f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7
  at device 15.1 on pci0
when it should use this instead:
port 0x1010-0x101f,0x374-0x377,0x170-0x177,0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7
  irq 0 at device 15.1 on pci0
My question is: how force atapci0 to use correct values or,
how convince pci0 to properly detect the controller.
I've already try boot with hw.pci.enable_io_modes set to 0.
For easy comparison I've attached boot messages for both RELEASE
-5.3 (dmesg.53) and RELEASE-4.11 (dmesg.411).
Please help me get RELEASE-5.3 running on this particular hardware.
TIA,
Robert Grzyb.

Re: subversion on FreeBSD 4.10

[Daniel S. Haischt]

OK, I have to admit that this was a stupid suggestion ;-)
WITH_APACHE2_APR will be set to yes if using WITH_MOD_DAV_SVN
(as you did).
Did you try to manually execute the command ...
/usr/local/sbin/apxs -e -S \
LIBEXECDIR=/usr/local/libexec/apache2 \
-a -n dav libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so
... just to ensure APXS is realy the reason for this
issue?

So I use tag=RELENG_5_3 and have no such troubles. Try this, maybe

Re: Native POSIX threads + Java under FreeBSD 5.3 release i386

[Olaf Greve]

Dear Dan,
Thanks for your answer!
A follow-up:
Why would they require an OS-specific threads library, instead of
simply requiring Posix threads?  I can tell you right now that Solaris
doesn't support NPTL, just the same way Linux doesn't support Solaris's
thread library :)
Interesting. The people who wrote the software told me that they used to 
have a version that worked well with the Linux 2.4 kernel threads 
version. Then, they said they had improved their software, and that it's 
based around the threading system as it is present in the Linux 2.6 
kernel. They did indeed mention that we require Posix threads, so I 
guess they mean to say that we require Posix threads (rather than 
relying on a Linux 2.6 kernel perse).

If you have limited time, I'd say just use either Solaris 10 or Linux. 
If you have problems on FreeBSD, they won't help you.
Yes, I just called the client, and he strongly recommended simply 
looking for a Debian-9 or SuSe-9 system. I think I'll simply try that...

I'm looking somewhat into the support for NPTL under FreeBSD 5.3
release i386, and I have come across the following URL:
http://www.unobvious.com/bsd/freebsd-threads.html From this, it
sounds like the LinuxThreads (i.e.
/usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads) should do the trick.

That page is 2 years old, and even says right in the middle, before
comparing libc_r and linuxthreads:
   WARNING: The rest of this document does not describe thread support
   in FreeBSD 5.x . You have been warned.
:)
I think I didn't express myself the way I meant to (sorry for that). 
Basically what I meant to write was that from the document I gathered 
that the /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads port is what should be used. But 
indeed upon re-reading my own text, it suggests that I had gathered from 
the document that that would work under versions 5.x as well (which was 
 not what I meant to imply). Anyway, your following answer basically 
answers what I wanted to know:

Can anyone tell me something about the following:
1) Does the linuxthreads library provide 100% NPTL support, as under Linux?
Linuxthreads is the Linux 2.4 and below threads package.  NPTL is the
name for the threads implementation in Linux 2.6 kernels.  As far as I
know, linuxthreads and NPTL are relatively ABI-compatible.
From this, I gather the linuxthreads port will not give me the 
threading system as used in the Linux 2.6 kernel then...

O.k., I think I know enough for now: I'll first try having a go at Red 
Hat or SuSe then

Thanks again, and cheers!

portinstall: fetch(1) doesn't fetch

[h p]

Hi,
I don't understand the behaviour of fetch(1). Whenever I try to fetch
from an URL, I get anwers like
> fetch http://www.google.com
fetch: http://www.google.com: No address record

I have set up my network correctly though. If, in contrast, I use wget, I get
> wget http://www.google.com
--11:20:32--  http://www.google.com/
   => `index.html'
Resolving www.google.com... done.
Connecting to www.google.com[66.102.9.99]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified [text/html]

[  <=>  ] 2,298
10.69K/s

11:20:39 (10.69 KB/s) - `index.html.1' saved [2298]

... as expected.
What have I done wrong? Where can I configure fetch to honor my
network setup? Or can I configure portinstall to use wget instead of
fetch?

TIA 
Helge

It looks like they were the problem. I took the server down to single-user
mode, deleted the zero-size quota.{user,group} files, and then ran
quotacheck on that filesystem. After booting back up, the system ran
normally without hanging.
