Re: Need Advice re SCSI
Regarding this e-mail message posted a few days ago (see except below *), to which there's been no reply as yet. Good news. The lack of response was very intuitive. I solved a major problem. The LSI Logic adapter card I'm using has two internal connectors for two separate buses. I switched the ribbon cable to which the two drives are connected to the other connector on the card and now the drives are coming up. I won't try to explain why 'cause I have no idea (accept maybe slot mismatch only allows one connector to be used). Looking at the boot messages something about it suggested to me that the system was trying to find something on mpt1 (the other bus connector on the card). I hope this will be useful for someone in the future as a possible fix for a similar problem. *Hello all; I have installed an LSI Logic SCSI adapter card and have attached to it two 18GB Maxtor 15k SCSI hard drives. These drives are 80 pin drives and I have obtained adapter boards to convert the 80 pin connectors to 68 pin ribbon cable for connection to the SCSI adapter (these adapters are from Cables To Go). This adapter is made for a 64 bit PCI slot. I only have 32 bit PCI slots. I was told via tech support response e-mail from LSI Logic that I could use the adapter card in 32 bit slots but with reduced performance. About an inch of the card connector tab hangs off the end of the PCI slot. The following has been culled from dmesg.boot, /var/log/messages, and transcribed from shutdown messages: From dmesg.boot mpt0: port 0xe900-0xe9ff mem 0xeb0e-0xeb0 f,0xeb10-0xeb11 irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 mpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED] mpt0: MPI Version=1.2.9.0 mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0xa. mpt0: mpt_wait_req timed out mpt0: port enable timed outmpt0: failed to enable port 0 mpt0: Unable to initialize IOC mpt1: port 0xea00-0xeaff mem 0xeb14-0xeb15fff f,0xeb16-0xeb17 irq 10 at device 11.1 on pci0 mpt1: [GIANT-LOCKED] mpt1: MPI Version=1.2.9.0 mpt1: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0xa. Here is output from var/log/messages re SCSI: Feb 1 01:57:40 AMD64 kernel: Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Here is transcription of shutdown messages: mpt1: Soft reset failed: device not running mpt1: WARNING - Failed hard reset! mpt1: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0x6149. The operating system has hatled. Press any key to reboot. Perhaps it would take an engineer to look at this and give me advice but; There is no entry for any da device indicating that the drives are not detected but the adapter is. Drives start up with a clattering sound (somewhat like the sound I associate with roulette wheels...um...dicey?) and it's unclear if they are in fact running. I am using FreeBSD v6.0 on Elite Group ECS 755 A2 motherboard with AMD64 (slot 754). I need to be able to format and partition these drives for use which means they have to show up. I have taken some time to try to track down a source of motherboards with 64 bit PCI slots and don't have any data to go on as yet. Sorry, I'm a little too bewildered to ask specific questions but any info and advice would be appreciated.

Hi All, We finally got everything to work using sshd2 (the other option was to remove sshd2 and use sshd, but we got sshd2 to work). All we had to do was generate the key on the server instead of using puttygen (with "ssh-keygen2"), then put a line pointing to the public key in the ".ssh2/authorization" file. Then we copied the private key to the windows boxes, opened it in puttygen and saved it again (to convert it to putty's format), put it in pagent, and everything works! Regarding the previous thread about CVS: CVS imports now work perfectly (using the CVSUMASK, which now works because we're using SSH instead of pserver connections).

Physcial button 1 is mapped to logical button N1, physi- cal button 2 to N2, and so forth. This enables the use of phys- icalbuttonsthatareobscuredby ZAxisMapping. Default: "1 2 3 8 9 10 ...". So if you want to get buttons events 6 and 7 with physical buttons 4 and 5 you want Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7" But as mice with two wheels are getting more available now, applications might be configured to use buttons 6 and 7 for horizontal scrolling soon. You might want to use the default configuration and configure applications to use buttons 8 and 9 for button actions. Though it is largely undecided right now whether the default like it is now is a good idea, or whether other buttons should be reserved for the secondary wheel. > If I run mouse.sh I get this: > xmodmap: commandline:1: bad number of buttons, must have 11 instead of 7 > xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.

I'm frantically trying to recreate 3 users in the mysql.user table after accidentally deleting them. I have the names and the password hashes but don't know the password. I installed the security/john port but it does not seem to support mysql cracking. Google searches have revealed patches to include this function.

Re: DNS nslint error messages
Thanks Chuck and Gorgios for all your help. I was able to resolve all of my problems with BIND and nslint. For the archives, I am running FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE on an IBM 330 e-series server. I was getting numerous error messages when running nslint. The biggest problems were: 1) I have never configured BIND before, so this is all new stuff to me. Numerous errors from being a newbie in this area. 2) The FreeBSD distribution of BIND leaves some critical things out in the default installation (to be fair, maybe they are left out of all BIND9 installations - but maybe the FreeBSD community can do better than the original!). For example, there is no note in the /etc/namedb/named.conf file that you should add a 'localhost' zone. I am sure I will never forget this now that I have spent the better part of a week figuring it out, but it would be helpful if the sample named.conf included it. 3) The IPv6 stuff is turned on in named.conf by default, but I am not using IPv6 at all. So it never occurred to me that complaints from nslint such as... nslint: missing "a": localhost.org. -> 0.0.0.1 were being generated because of a bogus error in the default file /etc/namedb/master/host-v6.rev. In frustration I finally did a grep for 0.0.0.1, and there it was in this file. I fixed it by commenting out the IPv6 stuff in /etc/namedb/named.conf. 4) For other newbies, be aware that localhost. and localhost.EXAMPLE.COM are two different things. In my system I specifically point both of them to 127.0.0.1, which results in this complaint from nslint... nslint: 127.0.0.1 in use by localhost.EXAMPLE.COM. and localhost. but it seems that this error is okay. nslint is just telling you that you have two things pointing to the same IP address. 5) One more newbie comment - be sure to check /var/log/messages for errors. nslint does not catch everything. If you are pounding away making numerous changes, you can quickly check for log error messages by entering... # rndc reload This will cause BIND to re-read the zone files. 6) And one last thing - be sure to increment the serial number on the zone files to ensure that the new data is loaded.

I've googled around and really all I can locate are references to CAM, the aacp driver compiled in the kernel, and device.hints. Can someone put this all together for me? I'm not a newbie, have compiled many kernels and worlds, and have been a FBSD user for several years. You're starting to sound a little desperate! If you don't receive any better informed responses, then maybe this will help. Disclaimer: I know nothing about Compaq Proliant DL360 servers, and hope fervently never to be associated with anything that has Compaq in it's name. Since the IDA hardware that this tape drive is attached to is basically some kind of RAID, perhaps either it, or it's FreeBSD driver simply does not support tape drives. The ida0 message in your dmesg, certainly says 0 drives, whereas ida1 is reporting 2 logical drives. That, to me, means that either the card or the driver is just not seeing the tape drive, and it's possible that no hint or kernel option will change that. When you say that the tape is reported by the BIOS, I assume that this is a BIOS specifically for the IDA controller. If not, and it has a BIOS you can do things in, then have a look in there. This is probably what you've done already... But if there are any config options, play with them. If that fails, the there are two more things to try: 1) Look through the source code and see if you can find any reference to the driver recognising tape drives. This might not be easy :-( 2) Email the authors of the ida drivers and see if the driver does support tapes. The man page on 5.4 talks a lot about disks and not at all about tapes, but that might be misleading. If both of those fail, then you may need to get an add on, bog standard SCSI card that's supported by FreeBSD. Something like the cheapest Adaptec which will drive the tape at full speed. --Alex PS I assume there's nothing obvious like termination causing the problem. PPS A quick google for "freebsd ida tape drive" did have two relevant hits (the first two) but they didn't help me much since the conversations seemed to start half way through. However, one is from one of the driver developers, and does suggest a cheap Adaptec card :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It means that if you were to install this port, it would not clean itself up properly when you removed it again later. If you don't care about this, you can set the TRYBROKEN variable.

RE: Getting a new server
I just did up one of these recently, the customer used an Intel desktop motherboard with the onboard sata raid chip. The system works fine, handles 200 corporate users, runs imap, horde/imp, ldap, sendmail, and dspam. I would suggest you not use spamassassin. If you must use content filtering use dspam, as it can be set to allow users to easily feed the learner. spamassassin cannot. But, seriously think about chucking all that and just run greylist-milter. It's in the ports I believe but if not it's easy to compile and install. And it is 100 times more effective than spamassassin, content filtering, subject line filtering, you name it, I've tried it. There's a few IP numbers and mailservers that need to be defined in the exclusion list for greylist milter that aren't in the stock exclusion list, but other than that, it is the best antispam tool I've used in years.

I don't understand you problem. If you want have two raid volume under you Smart Array there are no problem to FreeBSD to use it. Don't forget with a scsi card (raid or not) it's the scsi controller to inform the OS what disk you have. It's not the OS. Then if you OS (like FreeBSD) have right driver to use your SmartArray there no problem. But don't forget if you use FreeBSD under ML serie (like me) you can not use the HP linux software to manage (and watching) your hardware.

portsnap, excluding parts of the ports tree
I know I can run "portsnap extract sysutils/portupgrade" ...or something to that effectbut that will not "register" say for a "portsnap update" after a new "portsnap fetch". This is what I will get for an error if I try that: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports]$ portsnap update /usr/ports was not created by portsnap. You must run 'portsnap extract' before running 'portsnap update'. ...is there any way I can only maintain a small portion of the ports tree while still using portsnap (or should I not bother and just use cvsup)? I'd like to keep the parts of the ports collection around that I use, but not all of it...as this box has space issues.
