DMA TIMEOUT

[Perttu Laine]

I have problem with ATA drive having DMA TIMEOUTs.
It might work day or two fine with DMA mode on but then system halts on
those dma timeout problems.

hardware is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5:0:   class=0x018085 card=0x4d68105a chip=0x4d69105a
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'Promise Technology Inc'
device   = 'PDC20269 Ultra133 TX2 EIDE Controller'
class= mass storage

and PDC20269 is on supported list (5.4-RELEASE).

and has one 160GB drive in it. When I first got this problem I tried change
cable, changed drive to another similar one and moved drive to different
place on card. No help. Now it has been running on PIO mode about a year
without any problems at all.

So I wonder if there actually is some problem in ata drivers and is there
maybe any fixes on those drivers in new releases? So would upgrade to 5.5 or
6.1 help on this? upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 didn't help...

I can actually run it on PIO-mode but sometimes DMA could give little more
speed so if you would be cool if I can get it work with DMA mode on.

1) For example custom modules like nvidia.ko.
   I recommend you just move all modules out of /boot/modules
2) Also there may be some problems with ports (shared libraries etc.)

I had upgraded my workstation from 5-STABLE to 6-STABLE, and it worked.
But later I got another disk, and I had decided to do clean install.

As I understand it, there is no "most recent version of port that 
still works with my very old FBSD version".  You either get the ports 
snapshot that was out at the same time your release was released.  Or 
you get the *most* recent version of the port, with no guarantee it 
will work on an exceedingly old FBSD version.


In any case, don't screw with cvsup for ports;  look into 
portsnap.  It's included in 6.x and available in ports for older 
releases.  It's easier, faster, and lower bandwidth.

CVSup/Ports Question

[Adam Stroud]

I just have a quick question on some of the documentation I have read 
about FreeBSD and it's ports collection.  I read in the handbook that 
the cvsup tag for the ports-* collection should be ".".


"In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections."

However, when I was reading the ports(7) man page I saw:

"It is possible to download and use ports from the FreeBSD repository 
that are newer than the installed system; however it is important to 
install the appropriate ``Upgrade Kit'' from 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ first!  The portcheckout(1) 
(ports/devel/portcheckout) script (also a port, of course!) will help to 
download new ports."


When I went to the webpage that the man page referenced I found a 
paragraph that stated


"The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT 
and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or 
may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection. Over time, 
changes to the ports collection may rely on features that are not 
present in older releases. Wherever convenient, we try not to 
gratuitously break support for recent releases, but it is sometimes 
unavoidable. When this occurs, patches contributed by the user community 
to maintain support for older releases will usually be committed."


My question is should I keep "tag=." in my ports supfile even though I 
am running the RELENG_6_0 and from my understanding that is different 
from the -STABLE branch.


Or, am I just mixed up on the branching structure?

Thanks

Re: Noise On Screen

[Jeff Molofee]

Hi Colin,

I see the same thing when I switch between ttyv0 (text mode)
and ttyv8 (X11), but it goes away when the afflicted windows
are redrawn.  While you're running cups, could you switch
through consoles ttyv0 -- ttyv7 and see if there's anything
similarly garbaged on them?
  
I do see the flash of scrambled graphics when going to console or 
shutting down, but this issue is not quite the same.  It only affects 
the top 10-20 lines of the screen, and the line colors changes as I move 
the mouse.  It looks as if random bytes are written to the screen 
whenever I move the mouse in any direction.  These lines will overwrite 
anything, including the top of windows.  The lines will not go away on 
their own.


If I start disable cupsd_enable in rc.conf, boot into gnome, and then 
start cups manually the line does not appear.  It only appears if cups 
is started before gnome loads... very odd :)

Hi Alex,

If this were happening to me, I would first suspect that webmin/cups 
was just something that triggered the problem but not the root cause.
I would find it hard to believe that two ports would have the same 
issue, so on that I agree with you.

What graphics card do you have?  Is it seated properly?

Graphics card is nvidia 5900fx, and it is seated correctly.
If it's an NVidia, are you running the Xorg (nv) driver or the NVidia 
driver from ports?

I am using the nvidia driver w/ linux support and nvidia's agp.
In an earlier release of Xorg I was forced to switch to the NVidia 
driver because the xorg driver didn't work, caused screen corruption 
and lockups.  (Mozilla triggered that, but I don't blame mozilla).
I have not had problems until a few months back, unfortunately, I am not 
able to say if it was an upgrade to xorg, the nvidia driver or some 
other port that caused the issue.
From you PR note I see that your are running an Nvidia card, so 1) try 
upgrading Xorg as it seems to be out of date - you say you have 6.8 
but 6.9 is the latest 2) If that doesn't help then try the nvidia driver.

I was incorrect.  I am running the following:

cups 1.1.23.0_1
gnome2-2.12.3
nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1
xorg-6.9.0
xorg-clients-6.9.0_2

should be current.

That's not quite the same thing.  Tomcat is clearly starting up and

The problem seems to be the file that should contain the tomcat pid,
and which doesn't.  As that pid file is what the RC scripts refer to
in order to find the process to shut down, not having the right pid
in there will cause the effects you've been seeing. There have been
a number of posts about this issue several months back on the
freebsd-java@ mailing list. I believe it was a bug in the port due
to quite a radical rethink of the way tomcat should be started up.
According to CVS that problem was fixed in the last but one update
to the www/tomcat55 port.  cvsup your ports and try again.

I'm not familiar with Tomcat, but rcNG has the capability of solving these 
types of problems.  The author of the script can use check_process(${name} 
command_interpreter) instead, so that the scripts will check the running 
processes rather than the pidfile.


I'm working on a set of ports that require that because they are tcl 
scripts, so the ${name} of the process is squild, but ps returns tclsh8.4 
instead.


*If* that's the problem with Tomcat, it's fairly easily fixed.

I setup SSH to use public key authentication only. That way they can hammer 
away at my ssh server till the cows come home and they will never get in with 
a password.

I also use tcpwrappers (built into ssh daemon) for the particularly obnoxious 
ones.

This is ONLY a what-if question.

If you run linux emulation...(I think its red hat 8.0 in the ports),  
install linux-opera, down load the linux flash player from 
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#fp (version 
7.x) and copy certain files like *.xpt and *.so to the 
/usr/X11R6/share/linux-opera/plugins directory.  Go the the Opera 
menu on top..."Tools", then "preferences" then "advanced" then 
"content" then "enable plugins", have it search for new plugins.  
You're set...

Basically you are running linux red hat and the web site does support 
linux to a certain extent. I think as long as you do not make it into 
a Freebsd port and distributed...it should be ok...I am NOT a lawyer!

Let's just wait to see what they say first, it could be irritating if

I ran into something similar recently. Since you son't say, I'll assume 
you're running sendmail (if not please disregard the following).


What I had to do was create the file /etc/mail/virtusertable. The idea 
is to list users you _do_ want to accept mail for and exclude anything 
else, thus rejecting mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] My 
virtusertable looks something like this (names changed):


[EMAIL PROTECTED]chris
[EMAIL PROTECTED]chris
@mydomain.com error:nouser No such user here

With this setup, mail to users chris and abuse get sent to me. Mail to 
any other username gets rejected with "No such user here". [ I got the 
hint about that key last line from 
http://www.freebsddiary.org/virtualmail.php ]


Once you have edited virtusertable, you must do a 'make' in the 
directory /etc/mail, then '/etc/rc.d/sendmail restart'. All as root, of 
course. Should be OK after that.

I submitted a query to Adobe customer support via their web site.  The
reply I got stated in part:

"Please note that Flash Player 8 is not supported in FreeBSD, thus it
not mentioned on the End User License Agreement that Flash Player can
download and installed on the operating system.  It is not that the
web player is prohibited in FreeBSD, but the operating system itself
is not compatible with Flash Player."

I have replied to them to point out that this statement is incorrect,
that FreeBSD is entirely capable of running Flash Player, but FreeBSD
users such as I are now prohibited from using Adobe products.  I asked
them if they want me to stop using it -- it will be interesting to see
what they say.

I also pointed out that if that was not their intent, they should
consider changing the wording of the EULA.  I think that if everyone
who is speculating about this on this list were instead to submit
their requests for clarification (not threats) to Adobe's customer
support, it might get some attention from Adobe.

I asked a question about stopping/starting tomcat, but I suppose I didnt

What I should have asked is:
How do I stop/start services that I have enabled in my rc.conf, such as
mysql, tomcat etc. I have tried from my rc.d/ with tomcat but it will
not work for me...

Like this:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat.sh start

If that doesn't print out anything then double check what's in
/etc/rc.conf
If the service apparently starts up, but then you find it's not running
a few seconds later, then check any log files that application uses --
it's
quite often the case that there's a configuration fubar somewhere that is
causing the service to give up.



Well I have the service enabled in my rc.conf... so going to
localhost:8180 shows me the default tomcat page saying its working
etc... the jsp examples work fine.
When i try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat55.sh stop
i get:
tomcat55 not running? (check /var/run/tomcat55.pid)
Thats it. tomcat55.pid contains 2039.
I created a jsp file with just plain html in it... but when i browse to
it I get a HTTP 500 error (exception report).
I have the file in the correct place according to the docs so Im not
sure why is not working... I have originally some small piece of jsp but
figured Id have to restart the server in order for it to work, which is
what Im trying to do now...


That's not quite the same thing.  Tomcat is clearly starting up and
running perfectly well, as you show by viewing the default web page.  


The problem seems to be the file that should contain the tomcat pid,
and which doesn't.  As that pid file is what the RC scripts refer to
in order to find the process to shut down, not having the right pid
in there will cause the effects you've been seeing. There have been
a number of posts about this issue several months back on the
freebsd-java@ mailing list. I believe it was a bug in the port due
to quite a radical rethink of the way tomcat should be started up.
According to CVS that problem was fixed in the last but one update
to the www/tomcat55 port.  cvsup your ports and try again.

Oh -- in general you don't need to bounce tomcat if you modify one
of the .jsp pages it serves out.  Tomcat usually notices that the
.jsp is newer than the compiled Java bytecode it creates from it,
and will recompile the page for you automatically.  That, at least,
is the default behaviour although you can change it by modifying
server.xml

Cheers,

Matthew



Ah ok, I will cvsup and reinstall it. Then will try it again...

Gthumb Killed

[Chris Maness]

I'm trying to make a web thumbnail page with ~ 150 images.  It is 
getting killed with signal 9.  I can generate this page on my larger box 
(1 G of RAM), but on my smaller box (256M Ram) it is getting the kill 
signal.  It seems that this should be enough.  Is it getting killed for 
running out of memory?

I had (still do I guess) a petition for a native flash player but I

it. Here's the url if you want to do something with it:
http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/petition.html for some reason I
can't view the sigs page, I get a 500 error... AFAIK it had maybe 400
sigs on it... oh well... I don't need flash anyways. I'll just "move
on" to another companies website if it's flash only, they obviously
don't want or need my business.

You need to install the official nvidia drivers to get 3d

Oh and if you've already sync'd up to RELENG_6 and rebuilt world etc.
you don't have to redo everything. Just change your supfile to

linker mysteries

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi list,

[ Please Cc: me in your replies as I am not subscribed to this list. ]

I was doing some testing on shared dependencies and fiddling libfetch's
Makefile for this aim.

I set LDFLAGS to "-v" in order to see the command executed for th
linking.

In the standard Makefile, we have this :
% .if !defined(NO_CRYPT) && !defined(NO_OPENSSL)
% CFLAGS+=-DWITH_SSL
% DPADD=  ${LIBSSL} ${LIBCRYPTO}
% LDADD=  -lssl -lcrypto
% .endif

And the resulting linker command is : 
% /usr/bin/ld -V -Bshareable -o libfetch.so.4 /usr/lib/crti.o 
/usr/lib/crtbeginS.o -L/usr/lib -x -soname libfetch.so.4 file.So http.So ftp.So 
common.So fetch.So -lssl -lcrypto -lgcc_pic -lgcc_pic /usr/lib/crtendS.o 
/usr/lib/crtn.o

Dependencies are normal :
% jarjarbinks# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libfetch
% jarjarbinks# ldd libfetch.so
% libfetch.so:
% libssl.so.4 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 (0x3277d000)
% libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x3215f000)

If I comment out the variable assignements :
% .if !defined(NO_CRYPT) && !defined(NO_OPENSSL)
% #CFLAGS+=-DWITH_SSL
% #DPADD=  ${LIBSSL} ${LIBCRYPTO}
% #LDADD=  -lssl -lcrypto
% .endif

The resulting linker command is now :
/usr/bin/ld -V -Bshareable -o libfetch.so.4 /usr/lib/crti.o 
/usr/lib/crtbeginS.o -L/usr/lib -x -soname libfetch.so.4 file.So http.So ftp.So 
common.So fetch.So -lgcc_pic -lgcc_pic /usr/lib/crtendS.o /usr/lib/crtn.o

As you can see, we don't have "-lssl -lcrypto" any more.  However, ldd(1)
still says that libfetch.so is linked against those libraries :
% jarjarbinks# ldd libfetch.so
% libfetch.so:
% libssl.so.4 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 (0x2c72e000)
% libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x2cd74000)

Only linking addresses change, but they do at every compilation.

I would be glad if someone could explain why this happens.

Thank you,

Because I'm having a lot of troubles with :(.

Tomcat isn't strictly a daemon -- it runs in a JavaVM that (IIRC) doesn't
divorce itself from any controlling terminal or close down its stdin,
stdout or stderr descriptors in the way that daemon processes should.

That's not quite the same thing.  Tomcat is clearly starting up and
running perfectly well, as you show by viewing the default web page.  

The problem seems to be the file that should contain the tomcat pid,
and which doesn't.  As that pid file is what the RC scripts refer to
in order to find the process to shut down, not having the right pid
in there will cause the effects you've been seeing. There have been
a number of posts about this issue several months back on the
freebsd-java@ mailing list. I believe it was a bug in the port due
to quite a radical rethink of the way tomcat should be started up.
According to CVS that problem was fixed in the last but one update
to the www/tomcat55 port.  cvsup your ports and try again.

Oh -- in general you don't need to bounce tomcat if you modify one
of the .jsp pages it serves out.  Tomcat usually notices that the
.jsp is newer than the compiled Java bytecode it creates from it,
and will recompile the page for you automatically.  That, at least,
is the default behaviour although you can change it by modifying
server.xml

Cheers,

Matthew

How to get the login class name from a uid?

[nocturnal]

Hi

Reading the login_cap(3) manual i thought i would get default returned 
if no other login classes are found but it's possible i misunderstood 
the manual. A sample of code i'm using is below. The user running the 
application is in a login class other than default, i've verified this 
in the master.passwd files class field. I have also rebuilt the termcap 
database for login.conf after adding the class. Right the new class only 
has a simple :tc=default: to test if it works. The code below outputs 
only (null).


 uid_t uid = getuid();
 struct passwd * pw = getpwuid(uid);
 login_cap_t * lc = login_getuserclass(pw);
 printf("%s\n", lc->lc_class);

Thank you in advance for any help.

The bug report from January is about  koffice-1.4.2. 

I was really answering the question "Has it really not been fixed in all this 
time?" I'd have trimmed the last sentence if I'd spotted it was koffice 1.5.

Maybe, maybe not.

This is a complex answer.  There are pros and cons.

First, with zlib that library is used by other programs in the system.
That library and those other programs all exist for one reason - so
the user does not have to go to the trouble of downloading and
installing them.  But they don't have to be there - for example Solaris
ships with a lot of these libraries and programs missing.

As such the users are primariarly concerned with whether they can run
a command at the prompt in an out-of-the-box installation and have
it work and be secure.  Most of them aren't going to be compiling
software
they are going to want all of it done for them when they install the
system.  So they don't care about new features or whatever in zlib
they just care that it works.

>i'm again sure, that the maintainer of fbsd-zlib knows why,

Right, it is to best support the kinds of users I mentioned above.
applying the patch instead of reving up the software has less chance
of causing side effects if the patch is small.

Where the problem comes in is when the user wants to start
compiling software on his system that isn't in the ports.

Like this:

If that doesn't print out anything then double check what's in /etc/rc.conf

  Just an update, no the ICH7R problem has not been fixed.

It did a few weeks ago for one port. Amavisd used to be installed to
/etc/rc.d but the last time I updated it was moved back to
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (probably because it shouldn't have been in
/etc/rc.d)

koffice 1.5 was released on the 11th so it's not possible for you to
have built it, it's not even in the ports system yet. You must have
meant koffice-1.4.2_3,1

TIA,
-Garrett

Thank you all for the replies and the advice. I still need to fix the 
grepping, but I hope that any and all problems will be resolved soon 
once I stick my mind to it. As for what worked and was changed, what 
didn't, and why I am doing this:


What worked/was changed:
-Removing C++ style comment. Lol.
-Adding in a loop for read so the kernconf variable is not set to null.

What didn't work:
-Using make -V (it came up with nothing... oddly enough even though the 
manpage said it would work).
-grep call when I didn't redirect stuff to stderr (suppose I should do 
that).


Why I am doing this:
If you're probably reading the mailing list from time to time, you'll 
have noticed I had some issues last week with cvsup and my system 
sources. I've basically come to the conclusion that the cause for my 
issue is the fact that I had a cron job which would update my 
system/kernel sources, as well as my ports, and my system/kernel sources 
were synced DURING a build, which lead to quite a few issues with the 
build and installworld, I discovered after rebooting the machine the 
next morning (no errors were encountered though, which was odd). So, in 
order to scratch the itch, persay, that exists with cvsup and building 
ports/compiling system stuff, I have created a script which does 'lock' 
a process, if noted correctly, with a 'semaphore lockfile'. Maybe a call 
to ps aux would be better, but I found that dealing with a lockfile 
system would be a much easier way to solve things.


Todo Plan:
Add an rc-script or something that will run in single-user mode which 
will help with mergemaster. People should be at the machine when doing 
this, and my scripts were originally designed so that a person could 
just run the script and it would do function X on a timed basis (say as 
a cron job).


These scripts aren't meant to replace any resources; they're just here 
to help automate junk and ensure that things DO get done properly and 
things DO get updated, with less typing and command memorizing for the 
admin (I will properly annotate which chapters in the handbook to use 
and manpages to read for a more in depth reference of what the script 
does and how it does it).


Furthermore, I plan on possibly coming out with a more up to date 
installcd setup that would have an 'admin pack' as I would call it, or 
apache, bind9, perl, mysql, ipfw, samba, etc, properly configured with a 
set of CGI pages that would help simplify system management for people 
(I am doing this as a project for the house/apt I'm living in since they 
need a NAT box with extras).


So, that's what I have in mind.

Questions, comments :) ?

   that doesn't print out anything then double check what's in
   /etc/rc.conf If the service apparently starts up, but then you
find
   it's not running a few seconds later, then check any log files
that

up.

Yes I'm sure, they just haven't changed the names yet because
everybody is working on getting 6.1-RC1 out the door. From this point
forward if you sync up with RELENG_6 you will get 6-STABLE Give
them a few days and everything will be copacetic.

Hi Matthew,
Well I have the service enabled in my rc.conf... so going to 
localhost:8180 shows me the default tomcat page saying its working 
etc... the jsp examples work fine.

When i try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat55.sh stop
i get:
tomcat55 not running? (check /var/run/tomcat55.pid)
Thats it. tomcat55.pid contains 2039.
I created a jsp file with just plain html in it... but when i browse to 
it I get a HTTP 500 error (exception report).
I have the file in the correct place according to the docs so Im not 
sure why is not working... I have originally some small piece of jsp but 
figured Id have to restart the server in order for it to work, which is 
what Im trying to do now...

Thanks
Eoghan

openssh uses openssl but they're not tightly coupled.

/var/log/wtmp   640   5   *   @01T05 B

If I change the time specification to $M1D05 and start
newsyslog, no error messages are generated.

And, if I boot from the server's hard drive (from which
the image was created), newsyslog does not generate any
error messages.


This does seem odd, since that is basically the same
line that is in the distributed base system.  Are you
sure that's from the file you're running from?
Could you send me a copy of the exact file that you
have on the CD which is getting the error?

Certainly what you have there *looks* like it should work.

and it feels they're not going to release 1.0 any time soon.. i've been
seeing 0.9.something for longer than i can remember.

and btw i've always thought of openssl and openssh as somehow
coupled/interconnected. but openssl hasn't reached 1.0 while openssh is

stop/start services

[eoghan]

Hi
I asked a question about stopping/starting tomcat, but I suppose I didnt 
ask it right.

What I should have asked is:
How do I stop/start services that I have enabled in my rc.conf, such as 
mysql, tomcat etc. I have tried from my rc.d/ with tomcat but it will 
not work for me...

Does anyone have any info for me that could help me out with this?

Read up on the 'sudo' utility.

It's more that they don't have the foresight and discipline not to
keep breaking interfaces.  This may have changed recently, but I think
their policy is still "until we release openssl 1.0 we make no
promises about compatibility".

One approach could be to create multiple vlan(4) interfaces and make them all 
children of the outward-facing interface.  You could then assign a different 
ethernet address to each one.  Of course, you would also need to either use a 
switch that supports vlans in between your outward-facing interface and your 
provider or use something like if_bridge(4) to tie all the vlans back into 
the parent interface.  You could then run dhclient on each vlan and either 
leave it at that or harvest the addresses, destroy the vlans, and add the 
addresses back as aliases on the parent interface.

Granted, this may be at least as complicated as your other workaround above, 
but it could be made to work.

Another possibility would be to get the DHCP leases sequentially by 
alternately setting the ethernet address on your outward-facing interface and 
running dhclient.  You would of course have to store the results in between 
and add them all back in as aliases when you were done.

Finally, you could build your own program or script that crafts DHCP packets 
manually and handles the results appropriately for your situation. (The ports 
collection contains net/p5-Net-DHCPClient, which might serve your purposes.)

Have fun...

My guess is because they have a specific version of flash for embedded
devices, and they want to ensure that the PC flash doesn't end up on a
mobile device. Here is the URL for the embedded flash, "Flash Lite":

It's what it says on the tin; it's the number of links to the file.

You get one link from the directory you are looking at, one from each hard 
link; and for a directory, one from the ".." link in each immediate 
sub-directory.

Hi,

I have recently configured a simple VPN to connect mobile
users to a central office.  With this experience behind me,
my advice to you is to get a professional in your local area
to do this for you.

This may cost you a little more upfront but in the long run
it will save you time, money, and a lot of headaches.  From
your question I believe it will take you a long time to
accomplish what you want, you will spend money on equip-
ment that you either don't need or doesn't do the job adequately
if at all.  And in the end you will have a configuration you may
not be really satisfied with in terms of security and performance.

I don't mean to sound unkind here or overly negative about what
you can accomplish on your own given the time and money.  But
there are a lot of issues to take into consideration which you may
not think are important now or which you may not even know exist
that will have a big impact on what you need to do.

I wish you the best of luck and I also want to assure you that what
you want to do has been done many times and a professional should
have no problems doing this for you.  If he appears unsure of how to
proceed then he probably hasn't done it before and is figuring it out
as he goes.

Sincerely,

Duane Whitty

Hard locks after dirty reboot

[Joe Eversole]

Greetings,

I am running a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE system that does some simple internal
network stuff (mail, web, dnsmasq also doing dhcp). I have recently started
running into an issue where the box will hang on startup if the disks are not
cleanly unmounted (ie: power failure). Used to, this wouldn't cause a
problem... but the last 3 power outages have caused reboot failures.

I will pull the box from it's headless location, plug in a keyboard and
monitor, and boot it up. Bootloader works, the boot menu comes up (where it
asks if you want single user mode, etc). It comes up and starts the process,
cursor turns white, machine hangs. Never displays the boot information, never
brings up network, etc. I boot off the FreeBSD CD, fsck the drives, and
everything is happy.

I have also noticed another peculiar behaviour. When the system boots up
normally, it does not display the normal boot messages (the messages that are
displayed by dmesg). It just appears to hang, then the login prompt appears.

It occurs to me as I write this all out, that the system may not be hanging up
as much as waiting for input when booting after a power failure, but I can't
see it. What can I do to return the dmesg output during boot up?

I know I am probably missing necessary info. Any help that can be given would
be appreciated. Thanks!

It means "the number of links".

$ pwd

$ ln a b
$ ls -la

total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 dan   wheel  512 Apr 12 12:09 .

-rw-r--r--  2 dan   dan  0 Apr 12 12:09 b

"a" and "b" both have a link count of 2.  "." has a link count of 2
because it also exists in /tmp as "z".  ".." has a link count of 8
because it also exists as "." in /tmp, plus as "tmp" in /, plus as ".."
in 5 other subdirectories off /tmp.

That's not the case here, I'm actually trying to use less IP's. And besides
that my ISP allows up to 16 IP's to be used in their AUP.

I have about 5 clients that can share 1 IP with NAT and I have 2 other
clients that need to have an IP of their own.

If I can have all IP's bound to the server then I can simply NAT the 5
clients and static-NAT the remaining 2. Otherwise I'd need to bridge/route
and do NAT at the same time, which is not possible here, because then the 5
NAT-ed clients would need to get their IP's from the local DHCP server and
the 2 bridged clients would need to get them from the ISP DHCP server. I
could block DHCP from being bridged and do DHCP proxying for the other 2
clients, but it'd make it all much more complicated.

Help clarify the '-l' option of ls(1).

[David Robillard]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to have an explication about the '-l' (minus L) option of the ls(1) 
command.
What exactly is the signification of the second column in the display? The 
man page

states that it is 'the number of links'. But what does it mean exactly?

The man page states:

-l  (The lowercase letter ``ell''.)  List files in the long format,
as described in the The Long Format subsection below.

So we check 'The Long Format' section which says:

 The Long Format
   If the -l option is given, the following information is displayed for
   each file: file mode, number of links, owner name, group name, MAC label
   [output truncated]

Does anyone know any details about this 'number of links' ???

Many thanks,

David

Indeed they can, and at least in the U.S., commerce law basically 
backs their rights to be total asses about it if they so choose. 
It's their intellectual property and you must toe their line on 
their terms, whatever the terms. Pulling it from ports was the only 
logical short-term response to this silly restrictive language.

They don't really need to enforce it themselves. The Business 
Software Alliance will gladly descend on suspected violators of any 
commercial software EULA with a horde of lawyers and auditors and 
fines in the 5-6 figure range per violation. Would they, in the case 
of a lone user who's just trying to browse the Web? Probably not, 
but stranger things have happened (RIAA, Sony DRM, etc.).


FWIW, I don't really care if this gets resolved. I'd estimate 95% of 
Flash content I'm exposed to is somewhat-to-totally undesirable (way 
too animated ads), and the remainder's value is mainly just 
entertainment-oriented and not so precious that I'd really fight for 
it. On the other hand, I'd applaud anyone who does fight it, on 
principle alone. It's a bad EULA, 'nuff said. Good luck!

I just found this as a bug report: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-January/016737.html

Has it really not been fixed in all this time?  Has anyone here made KOffice 
1.5 compile?

I used the disklabel tool in sysinstall. But it did not seem to do anything...

Problem compiling KOffice

[Ashley Moran]

I'm not having much luck today...

I just tried updating my KOffice and got this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldpstk

Does anyone know what I need to install to get it working?  (And why it isn't 
installed as a dependency?)

Cheers

I'll agree with you here. Hopefully they'll see the light and change the
EULA.

This isn't the most abusive thing they've done to date, not even
close, and people still use their software (unfortunately), I doubt
it'll change much...

Overall, their platform concepts aren't excessively bad (for the most
part), but as far as the implementation goes, I'd rather stick to
something 3rd party...

exclude root's mail

[Robin Becker]

For some reason my FreeBSD 6.0 server's root account has started to receive 
spam. Is there a simple way to restrict all mail for root to come from a 
specified local domain eg 192.168.0.0/8? I'm a naive sendmail person so please 
be gentle :)

Can't we petition Adobe somehow?  I'm a bit stuck now - my company's main 
application is written in Flash!


Petition?  How about we sue them?  How can a vendor dictate what
