The thing that bums me out is that the mouse works with WinXP and SuSE-9.3 but there is no luck with the mouse with FreeBSD-5.4, KDE came up just fine though. Per postings to the web I have added and removed and added the line to /boot/device.hints of: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 I also enabled and disabled ACPI in the BIOS too on various attempts. I have ran: Xorg -configure and ran the file that it generated with really bad results then deleted the generated file and made sure /etc/X11 was empty and with no apparent config file got a great display of kde when I started KDE, what file it used I don't know. I ran a trace on startx (with a .xinitrc file containing startkde) and I could not seem to determine it. I'm still used to /etc/X11/XF86Config but there is none in the new 5.4 So, I really tried to find some solution to this and more or less hit a brick wall.

It is much faster to deinstall everything and then installing from ground up. And it is far more secure in not screwing up. I recommend writing down a list of apps you need to be happy, deinstall everything and then install those apps. Dependencies comes along fine, and then whatever remains can be installed as needed.

Is this a safe way to multi-home a mail server?
I have a machine on two DSL networks: a /29 and a /28 provided by different ISPS (why is a long story). The machine acts as a mail server (sendmail) as well as a NAT server for an internal network. Both DSL nets arrive at one interface card, and the LAN is on the other card. I have added one of the DSL nets as the main net for the external interface and the other DSL net as an alias via ifconfig. Two questions: 1. Can I have both host IPs (one from each DSL net) as A records in DNS for the mail server's name--e.g., mail.my.domain IN A 1.2.3.4 mail.my.domain IN A 5.6.7.8 and expect mail to arrive at the machine regardless of which network is working at any given time? (Part of the long story is that we're having serious trouble with one or the other network at various times and are trying, temporarily at least, to stay afloat by using whichever is better at the moment.) Both host IPs have correct (identical) reverse DNS. 2. Is there a way, via routed or other means, to cause the machine to figure out automatically which net to use for default traffic? It would be wonderful if natd could keep up with this too, but there I suspect I'm asking for the moon... Thanks much for any responses.

RE: Intel SE7320VP2 board + Marvell 88E8050 nic.
Hello all, OK, I did not get any feedback on my previous post about this topic. Doesn't anyone know if FreeBSD supports this hardware, or ? I know now for a fact that the Marvell NIC is NOT supported, but what about the rest of the hardware, like the RAID controller, etc? Must I maybe post more information about this board? I mean, it's like an entry level Intel server board, I just want to hear from somebody that is using it that it actually works with FreeBSD (well, excluding the second NIC of course. ;)) Anyone? Even if it is just Do not buy that, it will not work. Thank you in advance. ---Jaco Hi all, I am not quite sure if this question belongs on freebsd-questions@ or freebsd-current@ , but I will try here first.

I read in the archives that somebody is busy working on it, but I can not seem to locate any more info on this. Basically I do not care if there is support for 1000Mbit, I just want to use the card, even if it is in 100Mbit mode. :) I want to use this on 5.4-STABLE or maybe 6-CURRENT, seeing that 6-CURRENT is more or less stable (well, way more than 5-CURRENT was in the early days anyway :P ).

Re: Is this a safe way to multi-home a mail server?
I believe the problem you are going to run into is with outbound routing. You're only able to have one default route, which will point you out one dsl router or the other. If the ISP that is your default dies, then your traffic isn't going anywhere. Depending on what problems the ISP's are having, you may able to overcome the problem by using dynamic routing from the routers to the BSD server. If you can get that to work, you're most of the way there. The other problem I see is that when everything is working good and traffic comes in on the secondary ISP, your return traffic is going to be sent out the default route, not necessarily the one that came in. This may be a problem if your ISP's are performing egress filtering, preventing IP's that aren't their own from leaving out of their network (this is a good practice, btw). If you can either work out an arrangement with the ISP's on the filtering (if it exists) or you can set things up such that mail doesn't come into the secondary ISP unless the primary is down, and you have dymanic routing set up, I think this will work pretty well. Jerry http://www.syslog.org I have a machine on two DSL networks: a /29 and a /28 provided by different ISPS (why is a long story). The machine acts as a mail server (sendmail) as well as a NAT server for an internal network. Both DSL nets arrive at one interface card, and the LAN is on the other card. I have added one of the DSL nets as the main net for the external interface and the other DSL net as an alias via ifconfig. Two questions: 1. Can I have both host IPs (one from each DSL net) as A records in DNS for the mail server's name--e.g., mail.my.domain IN A 1.2.3.4 mail.my.domain IN A 5.6.7.8 and expect mail to arrive at the machine regardless of which network is working at any given time? (Part of the long story is that we're having serious trouble with one or the other network at various times and are trying, temporarily at least, to stay afloat by using whichever is better at the moment.) Both host IPs have correct (identical) reverse DNS. 2. Is there a way, via routed or other means, to cause the machine to figure out automatically which net to use for default traffic? It would be wonderful if natd could keep up with this too, but there I suspect I'm asking for the moon... Thanks much for any responses.

I'm still interested in this question because I don't know if my solution below totally solves the problem. I suppose the problem is that matlab is a Linux binary and matlab is running in Linux ABI mode, but the compiler is compiling to FreeBSD native, or something? It's obvious that this was the problem, one can fix it by changing the compilers pointed to in the glnx86 section of /compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/bin/mexopts.sh to CC='/compat/linux/usr/bin/cc' CXX='/compat/linux/usr/bin/g++' and possibly FC='/compat/linux/usr/bin/f77' (not sure if this is necessary because I didn't try compiling fortran files yet) Just changing the compiler seems to work, at least for simple files anyway.

Let's update FreeBSD vs Linux vs Windows XP
Hello! We've all tried advocating FreeBSD by showing our friends the infamous http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html comparison. But despite its excellent, it has lost its integrity because its age. Many things have changed since then, and on behalf of all those who enjoy advocating FreeBSD: It's time we bring the truth out. What do you all say? Instead of bugging Mr Murray Stokely about updating it, why don't we just update it in this thread? If everybody could contribute their bit of truth, I am willing to compile it into a nicely written (and designed*) sequence of TXT, HTML and PDF and post it back here. It is very important to get this situation straight. So we all know where we stand. I have put an easier version of the comparison up at: http://www.home.no/hedhnta/versus.txt So please post corrections referring to each paragraph. It would also be nice to include Mac OS X in this comparison. * In line with: http://identity.berkeley.edu/downloads/ucb_design_style.pdf Thank you all!

Re: simpler boot loader
On Sun, 2005-06-05 at 13:39 +0200, Wojciech Puchar wrote: something like for NetBSD - just load one ELF file from disk and that's all. FreeBSD /boot/loader and it's script are overcomplicated. What complicates the normal boot process is that the kernel requires a pre-boot environment to be set up. That's what the various loader steps do, mainly loader. About a year ago I tried to hack a Cobalt RAQ so that it would boot the BSD kernel. The problem is that the Cobalt has Linux in the BIOS... it boots straight into a Linux boot loader which then loads the Linux kernel (in ELF format I believe). Replacing that Linux kernel with the FreeBSD kernel does not work. I had tried to hack boot2 and loader so that it can be run from the Linux loader (in ELF format) and then set up the pre-boot environment and load and execute the kernel. However, my x86 assembler skills suck (in a previous life I did 65xx and 68xxx, but not x86). The loader segfaults every time and I had tabled the project. The interim solution for me was to have the Cobalt boot into VMware which then run FreeBSD. The performance kinda sucks and I would prefer to run BSD directly, so eventually I'd like to revisit that. In closing, I'm not aware of an easy way (without major hacks) to boot the FreeBSD kernel as a single file. You can try to look at the code for boot2 and loader write an ELF binary that does the same and loads FreeBSD. If you get something together, *please* let me know.

ATA drive locking FreeBSD 5.4 system

The machine is an older dual PIII and the IDE busses max rate is UDMA33. All the other drives on the system are SCSI U160 and I have no problem copying to the drives from the DVD drive. Anyone have suggestions or a way around this other than only using the SCSI drvie to copy from the DVD??

Re: redundant ethernet adapters - fault tolerance?
On Thu, 2005-06-09 at 10:17 +0200, Martin Pála wrote: Is ethernet adapter HA supported in FreeBSD? For example on linux it is possible to select active-pasive mode of ethernet bonding module (linux alternative). This works perfectly (only one interface is active at a time, the other is backup). I achieved a similar set up (two NIC's and two switches, meshed against 2 routers). My solution as a bit easier. I selected one NIC as the primary interface. Then I have a script running in the background that pings the router every 5 seconds. If it does not get a reply it does a second ping, and should that fail too it does the following: - it deletes the IP address(es) from the primary interface - it shuts the primary interface down - it deletes the default route - it brings the secondary interface up - it assigns the IP address(es) to the secondary inteface - it sets the default route That's the easy part. Then the script also does: - runs sed over /etc/rc.conf and replace the primary interface names with the secondary ones - runs sed over /etc/ipnat.rules - runs sed over /etc/ipf.rules - writes the ipf state table - runs the ipfs tools on the state and NAT file to change the primary i/f name to the secondary - clears the ipfilter state and rule table - reloads the ipfilter rules - reloads the ipfilter state and NAT tables It then swaps interface definitions and resumes the loop, pinging the router the again. Works like a charm. Any router, switch or NIC can fail, and the system will automatically fail-over, even preserving existing TCP sessions in the firewall state tables. (Hint: the ipfs tool is broken. I had sent an email to Darren with the fix. Not sure if that found it's way into the source yet. If you run the ipfs tools, but can not change interface names, send me an email and I'll forward the patch to you.) Cheers, Frank signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

PartitionMagic question
I am installing FreeBSD on a laptop with Windows XP Pro. I created empty space with PartitionMagic and installed FreeBSD there making the FreeBSD partition with the FreeBSD partition utility in the install. I took the drive geometry from PartitionMagic as the BIOS does not tell it (ThinkPad X30). The installation went well and both OS boot well. When I run PartitionMagic it reported 3 errors - different LBA and CHS values - the errors are on the first sector of the FreeBSD partitions and on the first sectors of the next two partitions (seeing from the LBA). PartitionMagic says in all 3 cases that the LBA and CHS values are different. In all 3 cases the CHS value is the same - 15483887 (drive geometry is 5168/240/63). After PartitionMagic repairs the errors everything is OK. Both OS boot well. My questions are - a) does somebody know why the errors appear? b) is the installation safe after the errors are fixed? PartitionMagic is listed officially as installation preparation utility and I assume it should be safe to use it afterwards, apart from touching the FreeBSD partition. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you filed a PR about this? query-pr shows no match for 'drm'. It's not a problem I have since I use xorg on 5.X As a matter of fact I just installed xfree86 a week ago, from scratch, on a new 4.11 system, from a ports tree that I cvsupped, with no problems. So I don't have an answer for the OP as to why his xfree86 setup doesen't build. But I have no problems in building xorg on FreeBSD 5, the OP indicated he was using FreeBSD 5, and FreeBSD 5 comes with a prebuilt binary of xorg. So a very logical question is to ask the OP why he is going at cross-currents and using xfree86 on 5. If his answer had been something that indicated that xfree86 was not a dependency for what he was doing, then once again, the quickest fix would be to simply tell him to stop using xfree86 and build xorg. I don't have any particular bias against xfree86. I do not agree with fracturing the X development effort between 2 virtually identical projects - but as I didn't have any vote in that happening, I am forced to deal with the aftermath. And so I'm going to do that from a self-interest point of view. And the best solution for me and for just about everyone in Open Source is to choose between xfree86 or xorg, and for just about everyone to choose the same choice, and let the other project die off from neglect. The FreeBSD Project chose xorg, so I will chose xorg. Maybe they chose wrong and xorg will die and xfree86 will continue - if that happens I'll deal with it then. If there was significant product differentiation between xfree86 and xorg, then there would be a reason to keep both.

OK, then schedule another RELEASE. If you knew anything about the history of FreeBSD you would know that 4.X should have ended years ago. I know Rod Grimes personally and he was one of the founders, and he said that what happened with 4 was never the way it was intended. Here's the litmus test - would you pull a popular port if it breaks on 4 but not on 5? 'nuff said. the users of open source, which is you and I, are not served by splitting development between 2 forks of X Windows. You are entitled to your opinion. Others disagree, and quite strongly so. The FreeBSD project agrees with me, if they did not then they would have rewritten the installer to make it optional which one to pick. Finally, the initial question would have probably gotten a better answer if posted to the freebsd-x11 mailing list, where the maintainers of the X servers tend to hang out, and any further discussion of these issues ought to migrate there as well. I agree with that. Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jailed system : freebsd-update/portupgrade
Thanks Ruben.
I have a couple follow-up questions.
(1) When do you run cvsup?
I don't understand the relationship between cvsup and portupgrade. As I
understand things, portupgrade fetches the latest tarball of the given
port. If this is indeed the case, why does the portupgrade man page have
a tip that says be sure to run portsdb -Uu everytime you cvsup? This tip
suggests that you should run cvsup as part of the portupgrade routine.
cvsup is a tool for maintaining a set of checked out files in sync with
a remote CVS repository without having to use CVS directly. In the case
of the ports tree, those files are things like the Makefile, package
descriptions and patches. These describe what tarball is needed to
install a port, how to patch and make it for FreeBSD, and just as
importantly how to uninstall it. The tarball is the source code for the
package, and is not handled by cvsup at all. If you never install a
port then the tarball for it never lives on your system.
portupgrade is a tool for automating the installing or upgrading of a
port, including keeping track of your preferred options
(/etc/pkgtools.conf) and handling dependencies between ports.
portsdb is a tool for updating /usr/ports/INDEX{-5} and
/usr/ports/INDEX.db (the latter being created from the former). The
index is used when you do e.g. a make search in /usr/ports. See man
ports for the details.
If you want the index to be up-to-date after you have run cvsup, then
you also need to run portsdb -Uu to rebuild it based on the new updates
you downloaded with cvsup. There is no requirement to update ports with
portupgrade after you have run cvsup, and portupgrade does not even
always need the index to be up-to-date. However, if you specify a
portorigin glob e.g. archivers/p5-*, this is apparently looked up in
the index so it helps if it is up-to-date.
Many people run a cron job to do a cvsup regularly, and at the end of
that job run portsdb-Uu just so everything is tidy and up-to-date. The
when you come to do a portupgrade you know that everything is in sync.
cvsup is also used to keep the system source (/usr/arc) up-to-date, but
that has nothing to do with portupgrade or portsdb.
(2) What value do you use for the base parameter in your cvsup file?
Wherever you want cvsup to keep its bookkeeping files. I don't specify
anything so use the default /usr/local/etc/cvsup (the files going into
the sub-directory sup)
Should these bookkeeping files be shared between the jail and the
mothership?
No clue, sorry.

The two firewalls work very differently. In pf, each rule is always processed on every packet and the last rule matching determines the action. quick terminates the rule matching and forces the quick rule to be, in effect, the final rule (assuming the packet matched it). ipfw does not match every rule for every packet, rather is processes down the rules until the packet matches one with a terminating action such as accept or deny.

RE: IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue
Your using the public ip address of your gateway box from the private LAN. In this mode NAT and thus your rdr rule is never evoked. Your request never exits your private network. The gateway system knows himself by that public ip address. What you should be doing is using the www.domainname.com so the request has to go to your ISP DNS server to get your public ip address, then it will enter on the external interface and be nated/rdr to correct location. There is nothing wrong with your ipfilter configuration, your just using the wrong URL. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Sutcliffe Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 9:01 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue I am having problems accessing internal resources (such as a web server) from other internal clients when going from internal client - public address - internal resource.

RE: IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue
Implement a 'split-horizon' dns setup. Clients on the internal network are served the internal address for the resource and never need to traverse the gateway. External hosts are served from the authoritative nameservers as is currently happening. I set up such a system a couple weeks ago with tinydns, took about 30 minutes, and was fairly easy. Alternately you could use each internal computer's hosts file with a setting of the internal address for the resource. Can get complicated keeping everything in sync. Tinydns works much better. Bind also has a split-horizon capability, but then bind is not permitted to exist in any of my networks or systems (personal choice, but let's not go there ;-) ). google for tinydns and split-horizon for howto's. -- John Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Sutcliffe Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 8:01 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: IPNAT / IPF / rdr issue I am having problems accessing internal resources (such as a web server) from other internal clients when going from internal client - public address - internal resource.

The FreeBSD Project (it's a 'loosely-knit' but rather large and highly-skilled group of professionals who work for the Project in their spare time) maintains a hardware compatability list on the project's web site. For the latest release (5.4) on all architectures, see: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware.html If you use the i386 architecture (most people do; these are the IBM-PC compatible machines and 'clones', if you will), then your reading should probably start at: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html I've not heard of pcbsd. It's likely that pcbsd is using FreeBSD code (or OpenBSD or NetBSD code) in their product. FreeBSD is free, and they could legally do that (AAMOF, I'd consider it pretty smart) As for the specific modem you mention, I can't say for sure. Conventional wisdom has always been no internal (Win)modems, but I'm sure I'm way behind on my knowledge in this area. For one thing, not all internal modems are Winmodems; some have an onboard processing unit, but these are increasingly less prevalent today. I'm not sure if I've ever seen one that wasn't an old 14.4Kbps unit Secondly, and on a better note: if the modem has a Lucent chipset, a third-party port exists to assist the system in using the card. Finally, there have recently been efforts to create a sort of Windows emulation layer for network cards*; I don't know if a similar effort for modems is underway or not, or if it is even possible. Good luck with FreeBSD!

I am in the process of moving a software RAID volume (ccd) from a 4.x machine to a 5.x machine. I can not get anything to write to the drive. I want to just rebuild the stripe from scratch and have successfully done a ccdconfig. However, newfs failed to write to the drive. newfs: /dev/ccd0: failed to open disk for writing Any suggestions?

gzip from ports vs gzip from system
Hi there, I had to install gzip from ports as gzip from base system doesn't seem to support 2GB files. Now I find myself with a set of gzip utils in /usr/bin/ (system) and one in /usr/local/ (ports). Is there a command equivalent to use.perl ports for gzip, os by default the ports version is used? Couldnt find one, nor a setting for make.conf or rc.conf. Yes, i could have made the base of the port = /usr rather than /usr/local but i though that would modify too much.. This is a 4.11 server.
