[freebsd-questions] ndis setup
Hey folks. I'm setting up FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and I'm having a little trouble getting my wireless NIC recognized. The card is a Linksys WMP64G and I'm trying to set things up to run with the FreeBSD NDISulator as described in the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html). Here's what I'm doing (as root): 1) Verifying with 'pciconf -lv' that the PCI card is there. Also, I know the card works, it was running fine on Windows. 2) Building ndis itself: cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis make clean make make install 3) Building the if_ndis module: cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/Rt61.INF . cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/rt61.sys . ndiscvt -i Rt61.INF -s rt61.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h make make install 4) Loading the ndis and if_ndis modules: kldload ndis I verify at this point using kldstat that both ndis and if_ndis are in fact loaded. I see nothing in dmesg or in my console during the kldload. Also, it doesn't appear that the driver found the card, there's no signs of life. I've tried using ndisgen, and have had the same results (with much less typing). In either case, I get nothing in dmesg and no usable enabled NIC. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, let me know if you see it. thanks in advance.

RE: BEWARE upgrading Horde System
As much as I agree with your sentiments, the issue that is at question is
the replacement of existing config files with default ones ... at least in
my instance, had those config files *not* been replaced, 'make install'
(to upgrade an existing, configured installation), would have left me with
a system that would have still worked as originally configured ...
Horde is/was designed to make upgrading it fairly simple, as it
*explicitly* does not overwrite any config files, because it doesn't
install any ... it installs .dist files, and the admin then has to move
those into place ...
All the port needs to do beyond what it is doing ... and, quite frankly,
it requires only one change to do so ... is to not do the:
mv config file config file.previous
The weird thing is that looking at the Makefile, I can't see where its
doing the move to previous in the first place .. and, in fact, the
following code should prevent it overwriting my existing config file:
.for FILE in ${CONFFILE}
@if [ ! -f ${CONFDIR}/${FILE} ]; then \
${CP} ${CONFDIR}/${FILE}.dist ${CONFDIR}/${FILE} ; \
fi
.endfor
Wow, okay ... Makefile says don't overwrite existing config file, while
files/pkg-install.in is the one that forces the issue:
Personally, the following patch would make doing an install safe:
diff -c files/pkg-install.in.orig files/pkg-install.in
*** files/pkg-install.in.orig Sun Apr 9 07:56:56 2006
--- files/pkg-install.inSun Apr 9 07:57:24 2006
***
*** 101,117
chown -R $hordeusr:$hordegrp $hordedir || exit 1
fi
- if [ -z ${PACKAGE_BUILDING} ]; then
- # Don't reset the config to default (PR ports/88621)
-
- for cf in `ls %%HORDEDIR%%/config/*php`; do
- if [ -f $cf.previous ]; then
- mv $cf $cf.new
- echo --- $cf not installed ***
- echo --- please copy from $cf.previous ***
- echo ---or from $cf.new ***
- fi
- done
- fi
;;
esac
--- 101,105
If its an initial install, the Makefile copies in the initial config files
as it is ... if its an upgrade, Makefile is smart enough to note overwrite
existing files ... pkg-install.in shouldn't either ...
That is the *only* complaint that I have with the Horde ports ...

Horde is too complex and too configurable a program to
easily fit in the FreeBSD Ports tree. All you can do is
what I think has been done - which is set the port up to
do 90% of the heavy lifting, and depend on the person
doing the installation to finish off the configuration.
I think the horde port met this goal just fine.
It may not be politically correct to say this, but being
able to install and get Horde and IMP and the modules running
either with or without the assistance of the ports directories,
is the mark of a real system administrator. It is, I think,
a given that this port can never meet what I feel is an
unrealistic goal of being able to do a make install, go away
and come back and have full-blown Horde/IMP server up and
running, ready to use. There's plenty of simpler programs
that the amateurs can do that with and have fine results.
I would point out that even the FreeBSD Release process doesn't
meet this goal. For all the vaunted hype about being able to
type make release and build the entire installation CD images,
it is really a bunch of bullshit. make release is just the
last command in a very long process of getting the environment
setup, and figuring out what options your going to set and
what they do.

Many ports work this way (re: keeping the .conf). The port
maintainer should address this, as many others have done.
OK, I must admit that I don't know how to handle properly
installation / configuration / deinstallation / reinstallation of the
Horde's ports.
Since the very first version of these ports, I have tried several
solutions and accepted many patches, but I have never found a
widespread agreement. Maintainership is now available.
It won't be me (sadly enough I lack the experience and/or knowledge)
I *DO* hope however that the horde port will be supported in the future.
Personally I *never* had any trouble upgrading horde. I *DID* have to
read the documentation though! It is always needed with horde. But,

RE: BEWARE upgrading Horde System
I know what your getting at but I would suggest that doing an
in-place upgrade of a production server is immensely stupid -
no offense intended.
What we do with our production servers is once they are built
they go into a golden can and are not touched.
In the event a security notice comes out that is not very simple
to patch, or when the software on the server is getting a bit long
in the tooth, we build a complete new server, new software, new
applications, then when we are positive it's solid, in the dead of
night we swap IP addresses between new and old servers and quickly
move the user data from the old to the new server.
This of course requires that we fully understand what all areas of
the server are used for storing transient user-data, this requires
a through understanding of how the app works, as well as careful
note-taking when the server is built. We have to do this anyway
in order to have a good backup/restore strategy.
I have never understood the demand for being able to do an inplace
upgrade of applications or of the operating system, and I've seen
enormous trouble with servers that people do this with, under Windows
as well as FreeBSD.
Furthermore, by the time the software on the server is old, the hardware
is ready to be retired in favor of shiny new hardware that is a lot
faster. This is also very true of Windows servers too.
This gets back to what I was saying with professional-vs-amateur
approach. A professional approach to a server is to plan for it
to live a certain life then you scrap it, or at the least nuke and
repave it for something less demanding. The car-rental companies
have been doing this with cars for years, and all the used car buyers
can never understand why a car rental companies sell perfectly
good cars with a lot of years of life left in them.
The amateur approach is to build the server then wring every last
day of life out of it. Patch and patch it over and over and over
and upgrade it over and over and over, until it just won't work anymore.
Hell, people were complaining that FreeBSD 6.0 wouldn't run on a
80386 That's a total amateur approach.
Horde is built for a professional approach not an amateur approach,
but as a nod to the amateurs it does the .dist thing, but that is
useless for the professional adminstrator. And it's kind of silly
because only someone who is really willing to get in and get their
fingers dirty, like a professional, should be running Horde. As I
said there's plenty of easier apps out for the install binary rpm
and cross your fingers and hope it works crowd.
Note that I'm not saying there's never a legitimate reason to do
an inplace upgrade, just that in what _I_ and I think most professional
adminstrators think is proper operating procedure, what your
talking about as a problem would almost never happen.

Chad, this appears that you want a file backed image file mounted as your / tmp. This should be easy to do. Read the handbook for file-backed md (4) devices. I don't use them for /tmp but I run them with jails... I have about 60 such image files mounted now for example Thanks for the great kick in the right direction. Is it really this easy?

I have two vmcore files at this point, but I'm unsure how much actual help they'll be in figuring out what's happening because I don't have debugging compiled into the kernel (never needed it before!) nor do I actually know exactly how to gather any information from them if they *can* still be of use. I can tell you this has happened twice now in the past 5 hours. Once I was asleep, and once I was reading my email.

RE: Panic/reboot - a little help.
Here is the standard causes. I all most all cases this is a hardware problem. Motherboard is overheating because of years of accumulated dust. Open box and use small paint brush to blow away dust on motherboard chips. Remove heat sink on CPU and clean out chocking dust and reinstall. Power supply's just go bad over time resulting in lower operating voltages to motherboard and hard drive. Hard drive will not spin as fast which causes the r/w heads not to fly above platter with out touching the surface. Hard disk starts going bad because of this and will need replacement along with the power supply. Power supply has cooling fan which can become plugged with dust. Cleaning out dust in power supply may result in output voltage to return to normal. Hard drive central bearing wears out over time and causes the platters to wobble allowing the r/w heads to rub on surface of platters causing surface damage and loss of data.

With both mbox and the Cyrus mail system, you have to shut the mail system down to back up the mail boxes. Why with Cyrus IMAPd? I just had a major hardware failure, had to restore 30 mail spools from backup, all of which were 'backed up live', and the only thing I had to do once restored was run the 'reconstruct' command to make sure the various databases were sync'd up ... and the reconstruct command can be run while the system is live too ... I have only a small amount of experience with Cyrus. However: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/Backup Based on that document, it appears as if you're dodging the bullet with backups. My interpretation is that Cyrus keeps mailboxes in some sort of db file. If a db file is being modified while you're backing it up, the backed up version will be inconsistent, thus the entire mailbox unusable. Compare this to Maildir, where each message is a seperate file. If you're backing up during access to a mailbox, a single message could end up corrupt, but this will not affect the rest of the mailbox. I set up backup for a Cyrus server for a client. We've yet to have to restore however, so all of my knowledge is based on that and other documents on the web regarding Cyrus' operation.

Furthermore, by the time the software on the server is old, the hardware is ready to be retired in favor of shiny new hardware that is a lot faster. This is also very true of Windows servers too. This gets back to what I was saying with professional-vs-amateur approach. A professional approach to a server is to plan for it to live a certain life then you scrap it, or at the least nuke and repave it for something less demanding. The car-rental companies have been doing this with cars for years, and all the used car buyers can never understand why a car rental companies sell perfectly good cars with a lot of years of life left in them. The amateur approach is to build the server then wring every last day of life out of it. Patch and patch it over and over and over and upgrade it over and over and over, until it just won't work anymore. Hell, people were complaining that FreeBSD 6.0 wouldn't run on a 80386 That's a total amateur approach. I think your mixing up the professional approach with the I'm not paying the bills approach, that shiny new hardware that is a lot faster comes with a price tag attached to it and the price attached to that tag in relation to other factors determines the route to be taken.

newfs fails on 300GB HDD
Greetings, I'm having a slight problem with a 300GB IDE (Maxtor) HDD. Basically, I've run the drive on the system through a complete low-level format and test with the PowerMAX tools, which passed fine. The BIOS recognizes and auto-detects the drive okay as well. However, in trying to install FreeBSD 6.0, it goes through the partition section okay, and then the slice section okay (trying to use a full slice on the drive as /dumpdata), the mount fails, and on the alternate screen it shows newfs failing. Is there a special way to get this drive to work? Does someone have experience with a similar setup that may shed some light my way? I feel like a beginner all over again. : P Regards, Justin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: web server attack (solution warning)
I received this reply from another list. Going back to the very beginning of your first post - those web requests you listed as seeing are a bit troublesome. They all seem to be probes against your web server to verify if you can be used as an open proxy server. The first two requests are from SOCKS proxy checkers, the 3rd is an HTTP CONNECT check to see if your server will connect to an SMTP host (for use by SPAMMERS) and the last is a request to a normal website. The probes themselves are not what worries me, as these happen all the time. What worries me are the status codes returned by your web server - 200 OK. This normally means that your server processed these requests successfully. Are you using mod_security to return bogus HTTP Response Codes??? I sure hope so, otherwise you need to disable the mod_proxy module ASAP. I checked my Apache httpd.conf file. The FreeBSD port of the Apache13 activates a lot of standard dso modules and one of then is the proxy module. I had thought those dso modules had to have a directive coded for it before it became active. I see now that is not true. I commented out the load for the proxy module in my httpd.conf file. Since many people install the apache port for apache 13 and 2 all these people have servers that are open for abuse and do not know it. The proxy dso module should not be included in the apache port. Apache port user be ware. Make sure you don't have mod_proxy enabled in Apache ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/Backup Based on that document, it appears as if you're dodging the bullet with backups. My interpretation is that Cyrus keeps mailboxes in some sort of db file. If a db file is being modified while you're backing it up, the backed up version will be inconsistent, thus the entire mailbox unusable. Not quite. Cyrus maps the imap hierarchy onto directories, with one (written once only) file per message. As flat-file as you can get. On top of this are per-folder index files (which can be recreated using reconstruct) holding stuff like preformatted IMAP responses, header indexes etc. That's where cyrus gets its speed from. Additionally there's a per-server mailboxes DB holding folder information (including ACLs), per-user seen/subscription databases and a deliverdb for duplicate suppression. The latter can all be stored in multiple formats, including bdb; hot backups for these work much the same way as for anything other bdb. It's not perfect, but there's minimal bullet-dodging. jan -- jan grant, ISYS, University of Bristol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 3317661 http://ioctl.org/jan/ ioctl(2): probably the coolest Unix system call in the world ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Google Earth on Wine on FBSD6.0
Hello All, i just want to share my experiences with Google Earth, and i am curious about other solutions to get it working properly. i compiled wine from the ports tree: $ pkg_info | grep wine wine-0.9.7,1Microsoft Windows compatibility layer for Unix-like systems i installed Google Earth on an u machine, and hooked the harddrive onto my FBSD6.0 machine ( looking back, this could have been done with winzip or any archiver ). i experimented a little, read the winehq db info. what i found was, it can work, but your .wine dir has to be very very fresh. i could not directly find out why this is. anybody? so it ended up with this: #!/usr/local/bin/bash rm -rf .wine wine cp Arial.TTF .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts cd .wine/drive_c/Program Files ; tar xzf ~/ge.tgz WINEDLLOVERRIDES=usp10,msvcrt=n wine c:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\GoogleEarth.exe this script assumes: -Arial.TTF in your home dir -ge.tgz in your home dir ( containing Google/Google Earth/* ) -you have editted the default_lt.kvw as suggested on winehq changes i am not sure about: my tgz might contains a downloaded copy of msvcrt.dll. i don't think it matters. the result is pretty impressive: text is not spaced properly, but for the rest it works! ( with some quirks ) i am eager to hear about other (cleaner ) solutions. i also tested winword.exe from the other HD btw: worked out of the box. the other office apps did not however. anyway, it was a while since i tried to use wine, and the progress they made impressed me. regards, usleep ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Newbie help!
Ivan, Yes, you are a newbie as many of us are (including myself ;). You have already gotten some pretty good responses pointing you in the right direction to correctly set up a graphical desktop, such as the ones you saw in the screenshots. However, what the responses have not mentioned, and I think this is extremely important for newbies to understand, is that FreeBSD is mainly a command line (CLI) driven operating system. Although, many people ause it as a desktop (graphical) system, you will need to do a good deal of researching and reading before a lot of the concepts and capabilites to set this up become entirely clear to you. I guess what really caught my eye in your post was I feel the hope is dripping into the sink!. This is OKAY! I can't imagine anyone on this list not having the same exact feeling when they first installed FreeBSD for the first time...I know I did! Just remember that it will all come in time - you just have to be willing to spare it. As most people on this list will reply with (I notice some already have), the FreeBSD handbookhttp://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.htmlis the best place to start. Although the FreeBSD operating system isn't covered inside and out, its really a fantastic overall peice of documentation, especially considering the lack of good documentation found in many Open Source projects. Anyway, good luck and don't get discouraged!

Fournier; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; fbsdq Subject: Re: BEWARE upgrading Horde System On 4/9/06, Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snipped] I have never understood the demand for being able to do an inplace upgrade of applications or of the operating system, and I've seen enormous trouble with servers that people do this with, under Windows as well as FreeBSD. Furthermore, by the time the software on the server is old, the hardware is ready to be retired in favor of shiny new hardware that is a lot faster. This is also very true of Windows servers too. This gets back to what I was saying with professional-vs-amateur approach. A professional approach to a server is to plan for it to live a certain life then you scrap it, or at the least nuke and repave it for something less demanding. The car-rental companies have been doing this with cars for years, and all the used car buyers can never understand why a car rental companies sell perfectly good cars with a lot of years of life left in them. The amateur approach is to build the server then wring every last day of life out of it. Patch and patch it over and over and over and upgrade it over and over and over, until it just won't work anymore. Hell, people were complaining that FreeBSD 6.0 wouldn't run on a 80386 That's a total amateur approach. I think your mixing up the professional approach with the I'm not paying the bills approach, that shiny new hardware that is a lot faster comes with a price tag attached to it and the price attached to that tag in relation to other factors determines the route to be taken. You do have, at the very least, a basic fiduciary responsibility to your employer, and in the context of business it's money. No, it's not. In the context of business it's competition. While your wringing the last drabs out of your older hardware, your customers are looking at your competitors products that are fielded on NEW hardware they bought last week, not 3 year old hardware they bought 3 years ago. You need to get some sales education, big time. For the total cost of getting 3 new customers you could pay for that new server. If you elect to not get that new server, assuming that by doing so your savng your employer money, it is as they say penny-wise and pound-foolish. It is common thinking that system admins who pay the bills have, they often lose sight of the forest for the trees. Rather than thinking how can I use FreeBSD to save my employer money your employer would be far better off with you thinking How can I use FreeBSD to provide even more features to my customers than the competition, so that our competitor's customers come over to us And let's say even if that server your looking at upgrading is only a year old, and still within acceptable speed, well then what are you doing about sparing? If your running a datacenter and selling access to apps you are fielding on your servers, your customers are paying you to be available either 24x7 or during business hours. If your server motherboard takes a dump at 11:00am in the morning, you should be able to move the disk pack to your spare box and get going within 20 minutes. You can only do that if you maintain a hardware spare. And so for mid-term upgrades, you build it on the spare server then swap the spare with the production server in the dead of night. I'll tell you what - you seem to be promoting the amateur approach of no sparing, and doing inplace upgrades until the server hardware dies - so why not give some specific examples of how this saves money over the professional approach of maintaining sparing and a set hardware lifespan that I'm advocating. I think I've spent a lot of paragraphs outlining the approach I'm advocating and why it saves money for the organization, while you've only done some hand-waving about fiduciary responsibility and some vague assumptions about how doing it the amateur way is better.

seeking help on adding a disk
Hi everyone. I am having trouble adding a IDE 300 GB Maxtor to my 6.0 system. It is recognized as ad2. Here is dmesg: ad0: 39205MB Maxtor 6K040L0 NAR61HA0 at ata0-master UDMA133 ad1: 190782MB Seagate ST3200826A 3.03 at ata0-slave UDMA100 ad2: 286188MB Maxtor 6L300R0 BAJ41G20 at ata1-master UDMA133 I want to devote the entire disk to FreeBSD and use a single slice and partition and mount it on directory /images. This is what happened: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad2 bs=1k count=64 64+0 records in 64+0 records out 65536 bytes transferred in 0.005377 secs (12188086 bytes/sec) # fdisk -B -I /dev/ad2 *** Working on device /dev/ad2 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: Geom not found # bsdlabel -w -B /dev/ad2s1 # fdisk ad2 *** Working on device /dev/ad2 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=581463 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=581463 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 586114641 (286188 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 854/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED # bsdlabel ad2s1 # /dev/ad2s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 586114625 16unused0 0 c: 5861146410unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit Now shouldn't I have some values in the first (a:) row?

I feel the drive size is not being properly recognized and that the last command is trying to write past the edge of the disk. I would also like to not be using s1a but s1e instead. Furthermore, the docs [1] for this drive say that an 80-wire cable is required. I didn't have one handy so I had to use a 40-wire cable. Could this be causing the trouble?

Fabian Thanks for this. Here's the relevent text from that weblog: As a result, once more harnessed my veteran HP LaserJet 6MP to echunga. Printing went at a snail's pace. Finally I discovered the message: Interrupt storm detected on irq7: lpt0; throttling interrupt source It proved to be a new interrupt throttling feature in the system: the sysctl variable hw.intr_storm_threshold sets the maximum number of interrupts per second on any interrupt level. The default value is 500, woefully inadequate for a PostScript printer on a parallel port, which can generate over 100,000 interrupts a second. Fixed that: === [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/dev/ttyp1) ~ 130 - sysctl hw.intr_storm_threshold hw.intr_storm_threshold: 500 === [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/dev/ttyp1) ~ 131 - sysctl hw.intr_storm_threshold=20 hw.intr_storm_threshold: 500 - 20 Unfortunately, this effectively disables the interrupt storm detection system-wide. The values should be per interrupt. Does anyone have any idea what an optimum number would be?
