How get swedish keyboard on the consol after loggin on

2006-02-12 Thread B H

After the system starts and before I log on to the system
the keys and letters åäö and ÅÄÖ seem to work OK. But
as soon as I log on they don't. Why is that?

Thanks!
/John

Put this in your rc.conf

keymap=swedish.cp850

works on 4.10-RELEASE-p19 and 6.1-PRERELEASE #0

Have you edited your ~/.login.conf to properly display Swedish 
characters? Take a look at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html 
 on how to achieve it.

I would recommend that you block the ssh port at you firewall for stop

Re: Dell 530 RAID 5 Recommendations

 I am considering using FreeBSD 6 on an old Dell Precision Workstation 
 530 MT.
 It has Dual Xeon 1.5 GHz CPUs, 4 x Fujitsu AIC-7892A MAJ3182M SCSI HDs,
 1 GB RDRAM, Nvidia Elsa Gloria II Pro video, Integrated 3Com NIC,
 Lynksys Wireless-G USB network adapter, and Integrated
 Adaptec AIC-7892 SCSI controller.
 
 I would like to setup RAID 5.  The intended use is in my home network as
 a personal SOA/J2EE/MySQL development box and family file server.
 
 Please review and comment on my assumptions:
 1) FreeBSD 6-STABLE has fixed any 5.X SMP issues.

There was a problem but this was fixed at 5.4. There are odd reports of
problems with older hardware. I have had a problem with an oldish quad
Compaq machine which I have not had time to get to the bottom of. 
 2) I will need an additional RAID controller card.
 3) FreeBSD has issues similar to the folks at OpenBSD (my firewall OS)
 regarding Adaptec - http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html:
 we do not recommend the Adaptec cards for use.
 * Adaptec AAC-2622, AAC-364, AAC-3642, 2200S, 2410SA, 2610SA, 
 2810SA, 21610SA

Have a look at the hardware compat list at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html
this may help with the raid card.


 I would appreciate some recommendations with a focus on price/performance.
 
 Thanks,
 Matt
 

Matt,

One thought I would separate the file server support from a development
machine. You may get into speed problems when heavily loaded. For my
network I use 2 modest machines with large IDE drives running a HA setup
as a file server. They sync to each other via a Gigbyte direct Ethernet
connection and if one goes down or if off line for maintenance the other
takes over. See http://linux-ha.org/ .

 Among other things, this script is suppose to add an empty line at
 the bottom of a file.

 But somehow it always removes the first line in a text file,
 how do I stop this?

Can you provide a small sample file complete w/ things that you
want to remove?


 #!/usr/local/bin/bash
 #
 #   Remove CRLF, trailing whitespace and double lines.

What are double lines?

   echo  $file
   perl -i -pe 's/\015$//' $file
   perl -i -pe 's/[^\S\n]+$//g' $file

Why do you have two perl runs?  More importantly, you will remove
anything which is not whitespace or not newline.  That means, in the
end, you should have a file filled w/ whitespace only.


   perl -pi -00 -e 1 $file
   echo $file: Done
   fi
 done

To remove CRLF, trailing whitespace, and 2 consecutive blank lines
...

  {
tr -d '\r'  $file \
| sed -E -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' \
| cat -s -  ${file}.tmp
  }  mv -f ${file}.tmp $file

Hello Parv!

Yes I meant blank lines :)

I've used the script for a long time now.
The only error is that it removes the top blank space, if any.

Which is a bit annoying. It's fine for scripts with shebangs but not
for custom laid out documents etc.

I just wanted to know where that error was.

I use the Perl runs because those were the only runs people gave me.
You know how it is, you enter a FreeBSD help channel and ask how you
do this or that, and the upper gentlemen always reply Learn Perl, and
then they go on giving you Perl runs :)

Your suggestion looks very very good.

So is this alright?

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#
#   Remove CRLF, trailing whitespace and blank lines.
#   $ARBA: clean.sh,v 1.0 2007/11/11 15:09:05 vaaf Exp $

for file in `find -s . -type f -not -name .*`; do

if file -b $file | grep -q 'text'; then

echo  $file

tr -d '\r'  $file
sed -E -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//'
cat -s -  ${file}.tmp  mv -f ${file}.tmp $file

echo $file: Done

fi

done

 Right.  suid files get the flags, but nothing else.  

 I set kernel_securelevel to 3 but it does not help a lot while there
 are no schg flags on system files.

 File flags are enforced at a securelevel of 1.  If they are all you
 care about, then there's no reason to add the filesystem mounting,
 clock, and firewall restrictions of levels 2 and 3.

 Is there any script to set proper flags for all files in the default
 installation?

 There is not widespread agreement on the definition of proper in
 that sentence.  Once you have a precise idea of what you think it
 should be, writing a script for your particular needs will be
 trivial.  

 Be well.

nobody is waiting for the incoming call.

cvsup question - use just one supfile?

2006-02-12 Thread Joel Hatton
Hi,

I've been sup'ing a few different trees for a little while now, and I'm
wondering: is it possible to do all at once with the same supfile?
Something like:

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix

this can't be the correct syntax, but is this practicable?

RE: A problem with the pppd

2006-02-12 Thread fbsd_user
First of all you are trying to use kernel ppp.
This was completely rewritten because it was so hard to
configure and debug and it now called User ppp.
d (IE: kernel ppp) was kept around for backwards compatibility.
For all practical purposes its dead and just waiting to be removed.
You will get better help here if you change to user ppp.

The install guide at www.a1poweruser.com has a step by step
instructions for seting up user ppp callback function.

You need a different prefix for each tag.  You'll still want to set 
your defaults, then override them as necessary, like this:


src-all prefix=/foo tag=RELENG_5
src-all prefix=/bar tag=RELENG_6

LDAP authentication problems

2006-02-12 Thread Pavel Duda

Hi,
I have problems to get LDAP authentiction working (pam_ldap)and after 
two days of struggle I'm almost giving up...


I've tried few howtos like that one from samba.idealx.org but without 
success. First I wanted to run Samba PDC on FreeBSD, but I've stuck with 
pam_ldap authentication.


Now I can:
- browse LDAP database with ldapsearch or from other machine with LDAP 
browser

- I'm able to use ldapsearch with user account created in this database ie.:
'ldapsearch -D uid=testuser,ou=Users,dc=OHRADNI,dc=NET -W'
'Enter LDAP Password: mypassword'
'[will list all entries]'

But when I try to use it for authentication it just don't work. For 
example I can't login with 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.


Because I have loglevel -1 I can see many data in /var/log/debug.log, 
but I'm not sure what exactly I should look for in this debug output 
thus I don't know if problem is on LDAP side or something else in my setup.


(I've attached gziped part of debug.log)

Can somebody help ?
Does someone have working setup of LDAP authentication on FreeBSD 6.0 
and would be so kind to sent me some quick howto or give an advice ?


Thanks

 First of all you are trying to use kernel ppp.
 This was completely rewritten because it was so hard to 
 configure and debug and it now called User ppp. d (IE: 
 kernel ppp) was kept around for backwards compatibility. For 
 all practical purposes its dead and just waiting to be 
 removed. You will get better help here if you change to user ppp.
 
 The install guide at www.a1poweruser.com has a step by step 
 instructions for seting up user ppp callback function.

 Subject: A problem with the pppd
 
 
 Help me, please, with the pppd. The problem is the next.
 I want to connect to Internet Service Provide (ISP) with a 
 callback. I use the pppd and the chat with the next scripts, 
 which are inessential
 now:
 
 # pppd script
 
 /dev/cuad1 115200
 
 debug
 defaultroute
 crtscts
 noipdefault
 connect   /usr/bin/chat -v -f
 /etc/ppp/peers/login.chat.script.prostointernet.callback
 callback 4504257
 passive
 domainprostointer.net
 persist
 holdoff   300
 
 # chat script login.chat.script.prostointernet.callback
 # It is one line really
 
 ABORT BUSYABORT 'NO CARRIER'
  AT
 OK ATS0=1
 OK ATDP5945050
 TIMEOUT 300 CONNECT 
 TIMEOUT 30 sername:-\\r-sername: login
 TIMEOUT 30 sword: password
 hostname: 0.0.0.0
 
 The first step goes well: my side connects with the ISP and 
 authentication is done successfully. After authentication and 
 querying a callback, pppd hangs up the line. But then pppd 
 exits. The ISP calls me back after some time. But there is no 
 pppd already, and nobody is waiting for the incoming call. 
 (Without callback I have no problem.)
 
 What do I wrong?

RE: Connecting to serial port

2006-02-12 Thread Jack Stone

From: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Steve Douville [EMAIL PROTECTED], freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
Subject: RE: Connecting to serial port
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2006 00:51:12 -0800


That happens, you can try a BIOS update, and also make sure
your motherboard CMOS settings specify the port for serial0,
and match port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4, and aren't set to auto.  You
can also try changing the setting for plug-and-play OS to off,
(or on, if it was off before)

You can ignore the message:

configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

as long as your serial port actually responds.  A lot of motherboards
will emit this message but the serial port still works.  Unfortunately
it looks like yours isn't one of these due to the not responding error
message.

Worst case, disble the motherboard serial ports and buy a pci serial
port card.

This seems to happen a lot on systems that use pci-express, probably
because they are tying the serial port hardware to the pci bus
rather than the isa bus.

Ted



Hi: I'm having this same problem with a new Abit AN8 MB, which has the 
pciexpress.


I've tried changing the BIOS settings like suggested, PLUS, even trying a 
PCI card, but still the same no response.


Does anyone have this MB and cured this problem? If so, please let me know 
as I really need that lost serial port for the UPS (no, USB won't drive it).


Thanks.

The MBR itself looks OK.   According to that piece of menu you

two

Correct, I chose '1' and then the system hangs (no messages/errors).



I simply converted a 6GB FAT32 partition into a UFS2 slice (chopped
into three 2GB partitions).


Well, I still am guessing the problem lies in individual slices' boot 
sectors and not the MBR.  just try and set the bootable flags in the 
slices the way you think they should be and see what happens.   


In sysinstall I toggle bootable but it puts an 'A' which seems to mean
auto-bootable. 
I can only set one 'A' here.

I tend to agree with Jerry and others that the problem is not with the 
MBR, but with the Windows boot sector in the first partition. If 
that's true, you can't fix it with sysintall or FreeBSD. You have fix 
it with Windows tools.


If you were running Windows 2000 or XP in the Windows partition, I 
would recommend that you use the Windows 2000 System Recovery Console 
and run the fixboot program to install a new Windows boot sector on 
the Windows partition. If you're running an older version of Windows, 
you need to find out what tool it uses to restore a boot sector.


Chances are in the process you'll wipe out the FreBSD MBR which you'll 
have to fix using FreeBSD. I guess that's where boot0cfg comes in, but 
I've never used it.


The best advice, though, is to backup everything you can before 
proceeding.

So you make it work on your system ?
I'm aware that guide on samba site is for linux and some of conf files 
are in different locations (like ldap.conf ). I have of course tried two 
howtos specific for FreeBSD too (like http://books.blurgle.ca/ or

http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/FreeBSD/docs/Quick_and_dirty_FreeBSD_5_x_and_nss_ldap_mini-HOWTO.html).
Still, I'm not able to determine where is my main problem, if it is LDAP 
related or some bad configuration in other part of whole authentization 
process (or maybe both).


Now I have tried to do
'id testuser'
and it is not able to recognize user and there is no additional output 
in debug.log so system doesn't even contact LDAP. So this could be the 
problem.
I must have something wrong probably in pam.d or nsswitch, but I don't 
know what :-(.

Probably just because the router makes a request for the netbios name of

(4x 400gb SATA).  Recently, we rebooted the box to do some upgrades; now
there are several problems:

1) everytime we try to mount the 1.1TB partition, the machine reboots
without any messages.
2) when we run fsck on it, this is what we get:

box# fsck /dev/da0s1a
** /dev/da0s1a

How do we fix this? Why are there NEGATIVE disk sectors?  The box freezes
every time when we mount with with `mount -f /dev/da0s1a /mnt`

thank you.

Memory leak?

2006-02-12 Thread Robert Leftwich
After running some number crunching for the last twelve hours I noticed
my box starting to use swap. Given that it has 4gb in it (of which 3gb
is available, see my other email for that issue) and I know that the app
never uses more than around 1gb I was surprised. Looking at the numbers
from top I was even more surprised, there seems to be a significant
chunk of memory unaccounted for (from memory when I checked after a
couple of hours the inactive memory was around 1300M with Free in the
400M range, everything basically totalling to around the 3gb mark as
expected). The app is driven by a script and is only running for around
1/2 hr per dataset after which it shuts down and restarts on a new
dataset, so all memory should be freed up/made inactive after each
restart, no? 

Mem: 274M Active, 227M Inact, 263M Wired, 95M Cache, 214M Buf, 4536K
Free
Swap: 4068M Total, 707M Used, 3361M Free, 17% Inuse

real memory  = 3221159936 (3071 MB)
avail memory = 3106529280 (2962 MB)

What's the best way to track down more information as to the cause of
this problem?

Thanks

Robert

 I don't really understand what it is you're looking for, but the source
 code for *all* the FreeBSD `programs' is available at:

 http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/

 It's also available through FTP, CVS, CVSup and is distributed as part
 of the official release CD-ROMs.

 You can look for yourself, any time :)

Is there a  find  command [that takes patterns] so if I know the name (or part 
of the name) of a program of interest, I can find out the directory path to it 
so I can find it easily.  Also, where do I look for the basic sector i/o 
programs (the ones that underly the file-system, they are eventually called 
just before the hardware does the i/o] and what are their names?

In usderland, they're called open, lseek, read, and write.  Just open
the raw disk device and treat it like a regular file, and remember you
need to access it in 512-byte chunks.
