Cheap Hardware for Home Network
I'm building a new box specifically do take care of a lot of things on my home network; dns, qmail, apache, sftp, printer server, a fileserver, etc. Some of the services, like apache, will also be exposed to the internet, but only for the use of friends and family. And most important, I'm doing this all on the cheap - for less than$600 (and the less, the better). I was wondering what sort of hardware setups people could recommend? Priceis the #1 consideration, followed by reliability, then speed. But that doesn't mean I want to neglect the latter two- what sort of specs should I be shooting for? What is necessary for the kind of activities I want to do. I'm hellbent on AMD, and the Sempron 3100+ (754) is looking pretty sharp. I have a GeForce4 Ti 4600 lying around that I can stick in, but because I want to use 2 SATA 150 hardrives in RAID 1, finding an AGP 4X mobo with 754 and SATA w/ RAID 1 is neigh impossible. So it looks like my best bet is to find a mobo with onboard gigabit ethernet, video, and sound (only the first of which is important), but that still limits me apropos the 754 cpu and the SATA. So again, this is a nice opportunity to buy hardware specifically tailored for what I am using it for - I have zero concern for expandability. What is the best fit?

For regular ports (your example is a metaport) you can check distinfo to see which version of the source files it's downloading. You can also check www.freshports.org and see there along with other useful information. According to freshports, the kde3 in a recently updated ports tree is 3.4.2.

Be sure to CC: the list on these responses. Someone else may have ideas. Your results below are indeed of concern. What you need to do is have two terminals open on either machine.

And most important, I'm doing this all on the cheap - I'm hellbent on AMD, and the Sempron 3100+ (754) is looking pretty sharp. I have a GeForce4 Ti 4600 lying So again, this is a nice opportunity to buy hardware specifically tailored for what I am using it for - I have zero concern for expandability. What is the best fit? The system you mention seems to be completly out of step with what you want from it. If you want a server that's on most or all of the day and runs such an undemanding load, you would be better off checking out some cheap, slow , low-power machines. With a desktop machine such as you specify, the electrity may well be a major part of the total cost over several years. Low power cpus also run much quieter, with little or no fan noise. I don't see why you need graphics at all. Agreed. I have a machine based around a VIA ME6000 Mini-ITX board serving NFS, Samba, printing, DNS, DHCP, NIS, HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, etc. for my home network and a few outside users. This board has a 600MHz VIA Eden CPU (fanless - completely silent) and even this is way overkill for what I'm using it for. The only thing that uses any real CPU bandwidth is SpamAssassin. A friend has a 200MHz Pentium Pro machine doing much the same job. This too is more than adequate, although it could use a bit more RAM. Both of these machines are running headless - no need for graphics. A cheap used laptop is also a possibility for this kind of thing. IMHO your top priority should be reliability - this is a machine that will be on all the time, you'll come to rely on it, so it will be a complete pain when it falls over, especially if you're not physically there to reboot it. You might want to think about running mirrored disks, so you don't lose the whole machine when a disk dies, as it inevitably will.

John, This is not a FreeBSD problem; it's really an Apache config issue, assuming you're having the same problem I had using the same RT install environment as yours. In your httpd.conf, see if the following appears: Directory / AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all /Directory If so, then comment out (or remove) the 'Deny from all' directive, which is causing very strict default access control for the DocumentRoot directory.

As a CDROM it had been working perfectly well since the initial install about a week and a half ago. It read CDs and DVDs without incident, and did so for hours and hours (which it was forced to do because I've been listening to music pretty much non-stop since I installed the system). The burner did not work, but after the grueling process of opening up the FreeBSD handbook and actually reading how to make it possible to burn CDs, that started working as well. That is, I recompiled the kernel with the atapicam module, changed permissions and set up links in the devfs.conf file in /etc, and set the suid on cdrecord and cdrdao. Worked like a charm. Burned my first CD, and it was beautiful. Then I think I went home.

I run FreeBSD/i386 on it, but I tried amd64 before - and it works great. It's quite cheap ($60 for the board, $60 for the box version of the CPU), and it certainly rocks, believe me. BTW, it should support your Ti 4600! Cheerz, Andrew P. Thanks Andrew, but just one question: the specs claim only to have 4 IDE slots in addition to the 2 SATA, not 8. Am I looking at the same thing as you? Thanks, JNK 4 IDE slots allow for up to 8 devices, 2 SATA slots allow 2 devices, that sums up to 10.

Happy Hacking keyboard, Emacs, and meta
I have an older PS2 Happy Hacking Lite Keyboard (love it!), but I'm getting reacquainted with Emacs and one aspect of the keyboard is driving me nuts: I can't seem to get the diamond keys (like Windows keys) to send only Meta to Emacs. I use KDE on FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 and have it set to run setxkbmap -option -option altwin:meta_win at login. If I run xev and press those keys, I see events like: KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x401, root 0x9e, subw 0x0, time 110894777, (1067,874), root:(1071,907), state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffe7, Meta_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ... and ...

For regular ports (your example is a metaport) you can check distinfo to see which version of the source files it's downloading. You can also check www.freshports.org and see there along with other useful information. According to freshports, the kde3 in a recently updated ports tree is 3.4.2. HTH, Micah I think what you may be asking for can be found using the ports Make variables, for example: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 make -V PKGNAME The above returns kde-3.4.2 on my system.

unexplained system hangs - possible smbfs issue ??
Hi all, I have a system using smbfs that locks up every few hours. The system is running a cron job every minute, that opens a directory that is actually a smbfs mounted directory on a Windows Server 2003 machine. The program reads the directory looking for a particular file pattern, opens and processes the file then closes and renames the file. What this means is that the smnfs mounted directory file count constantly increases. The hang mentioned is just that... the cron job doesnt run, you cannot login on the console (well you can type root and enter and thats it, no password prompt appears). If there is an open console session, a single command can be issued then the console freezes. The only recovery is a power cycle. We have run the programs under a test framework to do a month load of files in an hour, and cant hang things, yet the production box (which is technically a better machine, but runs the same OS versions as the testbed) will hang under 'normal' use every few hours. Its almost clock regular, except that it is slowly reducing the time between hangs. We have just purged the Windows directory, and it seems so far to have extended the hang window. Are there any known issues with smbfs and large directories??? NB We have other processes that use smbfs without the large number of files on the Win systems and these have run ok for years. It will hang on both these production versions.

Aside from what appear to be the standard newbie problems, every thing's gone remarkably well, except for this: I have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive on my laptop. As a CDROM it had been working perfectly well since the initial install about a week and a half ago. It read CDs and DVDs without incident, and did so for hours and hours (which it was forced to do because I've been listening to music pretty much non-stop since I installed the system). The burner did not work, but after the grueling process of opening up the FreeBSD handbook and actually reading how to make it possible to burn CDs, that started working as well. That is, I recompiled the kernel with the atapicam module, changed permissions and set up links in the devfs.conf file in /etc, and set the suid on cdrecord and cdrdao. Worked like a charm. Burned my first CD, and it was beautiful. Then I think I went home. Yesterday, while not burning any CDs at all, just listening to music using kscd while I wrote perl script, my computer suddenly reboots. ... This's the last day I am reading these archives.

It seemed to me that I asked a perfectly valid question. I want to know what caused the unknown transfer phase on my CDROM and how to prevent it from happening again. I certainly didn't expect that would cause such anger that it would warrant a nasty response. As for whether FreeBSD suits my needs, it most certainly does. I've been an administrator of Unix-like systems for about 7 years, starting with Linux systems back in '97 and working my way up to IRIX a few years ago. I've had FreeBSD installed and working on home systems in the past, but it's been a while. Now, my work laptop had crashed (hard disk death), and I was tired having to struggle to get Windows to do what I wanted it to do and to keep it up and running more then a month at a time. Took 6 months to make Windows work the way I wanted it to, when it only took about a week to get FreeBSD working. In my experience, Unix-like systems have *always* been easier to develop on, have always been more stable, and are always faster. The fact that FreeBSD combines these properties with the ease of the ports collection plus what I thought was a community of involved people willing to help made it the obvious choice. If by suits your needs you meant your need to listen to music, I believe that's beside the point. The fact that acd0 had an unknown transfer phase is troubling regardless of the task it was performing at the time, especially considering that it was a kernel message. I will almost certainly need to be able to read from my CDROM drive at some point in the future for data transfer purposes, and a reboot during such a read would at best cause the data transfer to fail, and at worst it could corrupt data on the hard drive in an unrecoverable way. I also apologize that my subject line wasn't 100% accurate. It should have read CDROM Unknown transfer *phase reboots* system. The word error in the subject line was incorrect, and the assertion that it caused a crash was just an assumption on my part. I was unable to find a memory dump or any information that should have led me to believe it was definitely a crash (and I still can't). Also, it's an assumption on my part that the unknown transfer phase rebooted the system, but that was the last entry in the log file and I though (and still think) that it's the best indicator for what might have gone wrong. And the word reboot may be incorrect as well. The system didn't go through the shutdown process at all, it simply dropped to a POST. If your objection was to the length of the description in my original message, I though it would be prudent to provide as much detail as I could about the steps I had gone through with my CDRW/DVDROM drive so that those who might be interested in helping would have as much detail as I could provide. I apologize if what I was hoping to be a playful tone offended you, but since I tend to enjoy working on operating systems like FreeBSD I tend to write in a manner that expresses that feeling. I also apologize that part of my message, and my actual question, was at the bottom of the message after the dmesg output. That format was, I realize, not conducive to

freebsd 5.4 and ipnat startup problem...?
Hi people. I was using freebsd 4.11 like gateway with ipfilter enable and ipnat. It was working very good, but after some years start giving me problems, it was the time to try with 5.4, them i made a fresh freebsd 5.4 installation. Them i update my source and made the buildworld process and now i have running freebsd 5.4-p7. I read the handbook to see if something change in the ipfilter section but dont see to much different. I change my kernel file to enable ipfilter plus another secure options, normally on my firewalls i dont install any X stuff only the necesary stuff to run my firewalls. Setup my /etc/rc.conf to enable ipfilter+ipnat+ipmon+gateway. My connection is PPPoE, them i copy those files: ppp.conf + ppp.linkup from my old machine to my new system and made the changes, normally the NIC option. Copy my ipfilter rules and ipnat rules from my old system to my new system, them made the neccesary changes on ipfilter.rules because ipnat.rules dont need to. I have on the new system one NIC Intel dual port 82558 Pro/100 Ethernet driver fxp, my PPPoE is conected to fxp1 and my gateway is fxp0(192.168.0.1). Test and after some little changes, i was having my new firewall + nat system to serve my local machines. I test my windows systems and it was working, but i found some messages on the startup process: ioctl(SIOCIPFL6): invalid argument Read some ipfilter maillist post and Darren Red say that if we enable IP6 on the kernel this message disappear, i ask my self, with do i need that option if only run one simply network with only one firewall and 2 clients IPv4...? Ok, i enable IP6 on the kernel and the message disappear, good. Them i found this message: filter sync'd twice why...? and ipnat wasnt translating anything to my clients, i can run: #ipnat -l And show me the list filter rules, i can ping my local machines from freebsd and from windows, i can ping internet adreess, like yahoo or freebsd from my firewall but windows cannot, if i ping with my firewall outsite address and them run ipnat -l, dosent show any active sessions...? i think only ipfilter is working but not ipnat...? Right now i need to manually run ipnat every time i use my firewall, i have been searching about, but dont see any solution yet!!! Another message appear on my startup process: su: NSSWITCH(nss_method_lookup): nis, passwd_compat, endpwent, not found I found with apropos nsswitch.conf, i still dont know about nis to much, i dont have nothing enable on my rc.conf file about nis, but i really need this option...?

Re: bad superblock question
It would be nice if I could do that, it only says bad super block. Because there currently is no super block at the begining of the drive. The rest of the drive seems intact because fsck can run off the superblock at sector 32 and finish's. At no point does it make a new superblock where I should have one. If anyone knows how to mount using sector 32.. that would be nice. -Darren --- Chris Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 9 Oct 2005, Mr. Darren wrote: I know, however it isn't fixing the first sector, it uses the backup(already repaired it), and never at any point does it fix the original. As a result, I can't mount it and get it to boot up.. my /var is on this drive. and is rather important. repeatedly running fsck, it just asks to use the backup at sector 32. I can't seem to find any other software to replace it or edit it. I've read a fair amount of man pages now. If you have another disk to boot from, try mounting your old /var read-only.

Re: very lightweight samba installation needed ... help ?

Thanks. If you just need to mount smb based shares, I believe the base portion of the FreeBSD system will do that for you, via mount_smbfs. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: unexplained system hangs - possible smbfs issue ??
Murray, Have you thought of looking into filing a bug report with the Samba people (http://www.samba.org/)? This may be an issue with either your client program, or the SMB implementation in Win2k3, which can be solved by getting the ball rolling with SMB and/or possibly MS. Either way, that is quite a few files to have to parse through, and although it may seem somewhat ludicrous, adding an additional script to presort out your minute reports would greatly reduce the amount of open-file records you need, and while that may not be a permanent solution it can serve as a better base for sorting your data. You could just create proper directories on the Win2k3 server, like %BASE_DIR%\Year\Day\Hour, if you get a large volume of files, or just strictly put them in a daily directory since it sounds like your volume is manageable. Plus, it's probably easier for humans to manage as opposed to 2000+ flat files in the same directory ;). Any SQL would handle this issue nicely as well since one of databases' best selling points is this type of application. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
