Openssl 0.9.8b and libmp
Hi, Once I install openssl 0.9.8b I get a bus error from telnet of all things! I'm using 5.4-RELEASE (which may be the problem). Does anyone have it working ? For myself I went trolling through the code and found the following: It seems that from version 0.9.7j to 0.9.8b the code for BN_CTX_init (in crypto/bn/bn_ctx.c) has changed to stop allowing the static declaration of the BN_CTX type. The helpful author even says it's changed: /* Assume the caller obtained the context via BN_CTX_new() and so is * trying to reset it for use. Nothing else makes sense, least of all * binary compatibility from a time when they could declare a static * variable. */ But libraries like libmp declare static BN_CTX variables in many routines (including mult which telnet calls) and many of these routines are void so couldn't return errors even if it was appropriate to use BN_CTX_new as the author suggests. Given all this, I assume I've missed something blindingly obvious but for the life of me I can't see what it is. Anyone have a misery fixer for me ? K. PS. It seems increasingly like openssl did not have FreeBSD in mind as even the Configure script stopped having FreeBSD as an option.

(You should copy freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org on your replies). It depends. If you are just writing some small subset of files from a filesystem (e.g. your home directory) then tar would do. If you want to back up your machine, and the tape drive is big enough, then use dump. Both have good manual pages. Confusingly, FreeBSD has two versions of tar and which one is the default tar has changed recently. For simple stuff, they will be compatible with each other. bsdtar : bsd derived version of tar which in theory will know about filesystem flags, but if you don't use them then it won't matter. Also seems to mess up if the archive you write is compressed but happens to be empty (might be fixed by now). gtar or gnu tar : GNU GPL version of tar. This is the tar you get on Linux, for example. Won't know anything about specific FreeBSD filesystem things like flags. Other options include cpio (a bit like tar) or specialist backup software like bacula which you'll find in the ports. I can't comment either since I've never used them. You're still very vague about what you want to do; with more specific information better advice might be possible. E.g. I want to backup up my home directory and email files every day; or I have four 80Gb disks which I need to back up to a 40Gb compressing tape drive, what should I use?. --Alex thanks for help Alex I found the best way for me to write info to the tape.

My experience is that you can't really do either. If anyone know better, I'd be glad to know! If the tape is positioned at the end of data then you can issue an mt -f /dev/nsa0 status command but I have no idea how to interpret the result in terms of how much space is used or left. Using dump, I write full backups to one tape which then gets put away. I just judge from how big the filesystems are how many will fit on one tape. The if I do incrementals, they all go on one tape. If the tape does run out, dump will just ask for a new one. If you use a system like bacula, then it may keep track of how much data you have written, but with a compressing tape drive (which most are) you don't know exactly how that corresponds to how much data was written to tape because you can't accurately predict the compression ratio. An estimate of 1.5:1 works OK for mixed filesystems, but if you having nothing but jpegs and mp3s (which are compressed already) then you may get 1:1. For a database full of text you might get 2:1.

Try turning off background fsck and see whether it does better, the next time the system comes back up after an unclean shutdown.

So, I think I came to an end investigating this: _ putting 'background_fsck=NO' in /etc/rc.conf won't help (fsck would anyway run foreground in any case); _ tuning the filesystem to turn off softupdates solved it.

I believe microsoft is planning something like this for their new filesystem, winfs Cool, at least you're not asking me to seek help! Well, the thing about UNIX hierarchies is that they are overly complex. Different locations for similar things, same locations for different things, duplicates, unnecessary abbreviations and acronyms and so on and so forth. From an architect's (a real architect's) point of view the typical UNIX hierarchy looks to be structured by some kind of confused creature. Using tags to arrange files instead of folders, files could have multiple tags if they have multiple purposes. And one wouldn't have to design -- and most people don't know how to design -- a proper hierarchical solution everytime something new arrives. Maybe this would even clear up some of the hardships revolving around registries and libraries. Keep it coming!

Creating a FreeBSD DVD
Hello everyone. I know FreeBSD 6.1's been out for a month already, but anyway I think someone may find this useful: http://mexinetica.com/~lanjoe9/freebsd/bsd_dvd_howto.html I've made a page describing the steps needed to create a FreeBSD DVD containing the whole contents of both ISOs and a script so you don't have to do it by hand. I intend to update it as new versions come out (the steps tend to stay exactly the same though).

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Sendmail = mind boggling
Hello, I've always steered clear of using Sendmail (prefering Exim), but I thought I would give it a try and am having real difficulties with something I think should be simple. I want to keep running Exim on port 25. I want Sendmail to run on a different port. So I am trying to use the O DaemonPortOptions=Port=2525 option. However, I have 6 cf files in /etc/mail - freebsd.cf, mail.xxx.co.uk.submit.cf, freebsd.submit.cf, sendmail.cf, mail.xxx.co.uk.cfand submit.cf. I've tried all sorts of combinations of adding the above option to these files, but whenever I try to start Sendmail this error: sm-mta[52968]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon Daemon0: cannot bind: Address already in use. Which file(s) am I supposed to put this option into? I just don't understand. Is it correct, also, that I have 6 cf files? I set this up as per the handbook.

I generally prefer having the default policy at top without quick, and then set quick on rules taking an explicit action. Cheers, Erik Okay, I got it working. On the client, the rule is pass out quick on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from $EXT_IF to $SERVER port 7721 keep state and on the server, it's just the opposite pass in quick on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from $CLIENT to $EXT_IF port 7721 keep state The only difference between that rule and the one I had earlier includes a flags S/SA directive on each. Of course now I just tried adding the flags and it works...I'm guessing because the state was already made. If I add flags S/SA is there any reason that'd cause problems.

Re: [kopete-devel] (no subject)
libtool: link: cannot find the library `' The net-im/kopete port will be upgraded to 0.12 soon. If you don't want to wait, it is possible to compile from source of course - but you will run into a couple of minor problems along the way. The one above is caused by the outdated version of libtool that comes with kopete. After running configure, you need to replace the generated libtool with /usr/local/bin/libtool. There is an installation error in jpeg support. You seem to have only one of either the headers _or_ the libraries installed. You may need to either provide correct --with-extra-... options, or the development package of libjpeg6b. You can get a source package of libjpeg from http://www.ijg.org/ Disabling JPEG support. I get this error when compiling Kopete from source on FreeBSD as well - and I simply ignore it. My guess is that configure is looking for libjpeg in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. You can safely ignore this - Kopete does not do its own image handling anyway, it uses Qt for this. - Bartosz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In loader.conf, I have: if_ath_enable=YES In rc.conf, I have: nis_server_enable=YES nis_client_enable=YES nfs_server_enable=YES cloned_interfaces=bridge0 ifconfig_bridge0=addm re0 addm ath0 up ifconfig_re0=inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.1.12 ifconfig_ath0=ssid my_ap mode 11g mediaopt hostap my ifconfig -a shows: ath0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe94:75c5%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:13:46:94:75:c5 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g hostap status: associated ssid my_ap channel 1 bssid 00:13:46:94:75:c5 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 30 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 re0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:fe71:45b1%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 ether 00:0e:a6:71:45:b1 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX full-duplex) status: active bridge0: flags=8043UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether ac:de:48:f4:6b:4e priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 member: ath0 flags=3LEARNING,DISCOVER member: vr0 flags=3LEARNING,DISCOVER my sysctl.conf has (these were gotchas I wasn't expecting..) net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_member=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge=0 Everything good so far. I have a wireless card bridged to my Gb ethernet and it seems to work. ypwhich shows the machine bound to this server as it is the only master. Ok, the first wireless client gets the next Wireless card (for those wanting to know the name and model, they are D-LINK DWL-G520 108G card). my rc.conf has: ifconfig_ath0=inet 192.168.1.24 netmask 0xff00 ssid my_ap mode 11g mediaopt adhoc defautrouter=192.168.1.12 nis_client_enable=YES ifconfig -a shows: ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe94:75c3%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:13:46:94:75:c3 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g adhoc status: associated ssid my_ap channel 3 bssid 02:13:46:94:75:c5 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 36 protmode CTS burst bintval 100 I assume that since the bssid shows the MAC address of AP, it is bound. I can ping the x.x.x.11 address. I can ping the x.x.x.12 gw address. I can resolve out to the world. Life is great, right? No, I can't ypbind and only the default accounts are coming up. I can mount NFS exported drives from the server with no issue. if I ypwhich it tells me the domain is not bound. (Yes, the domainname is correct) I believe I'm missing something with UDP or ICMP or some such. This is driving me 3 days crazy. Is there a sysctl or something I'm missing? Does this seem like an RPC or UDP issue. Part of my trouble shooting had me hardwiring the machines instead of wireless. No sooner did I boot up the client then it was bound to the server. Why does it refuse to do this on the wireless?

Re: Directory and file comparison tool for X?
I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to compare directories (recursively) showing what files are different,etc. meld ( textproc/meld ) can do this to some extent, showing missing files,etc, but not showing what files are different withoug having to open each file and do a diff. How about rsync -n (or --dry-run)? -- Walter M.

RE: restoring deleted files
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Can you tell me a simple way of retrieving recently deleted files? Regards Phil Sweeney Superior Pest Management P.O Box 68 www.superiorpest.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] H.R.M.C NSW 2310 ___ I guess, if you know what you're doing, you can go in with a disk editor, but not simple. And, like another message said, depends on if the inodes have been overwritten. And like the other post alluded to, there's no replacement for a good backup. That being said, I can tell you what I've done ever since I hosed /usr one day accidentally, while in a pissed off mood not paying attention to the paths I was typing, had to do a restore (luckily I had just done a full dump). I hate it it's aggravating, but it's saved me several times from another restore, but in .bashrc I have: alias rm='rm -i' When you type rm whatever, it'll ask you if you're sure. Be sure. :-) And backup regularly. Denny White Please do not CC me. Already subscribed to mailing list.

Why isn't the ath0 card in promisc mode? I thought it pretty much has to be in order for the bridge to work (both NICs in my bridge stay in promisc mode). I'm not sure if you're using device if_bridge, or options BRIDGE, but if it's the former, and you're running traffic through pf, take note of the warning in the if_bridge man page: The bridge may not forward fragments that have been reassembled by a packet filter. In pf(4) fragment reassembly can be disabled in the scrub option. That's just my guesses for places to look based on the info you described.

OOo-2.0
A couple questions about OO. But: nutshell that I've wanted to know for months:: is there some automagic way of having OO print in reverse-page mode? And: Is there a way of auto paragraph indenting 5 spaces? Every time I edit a file I have to by-hand indent ever bloody paragraph. And godforbid I forge to hit the reverse thing in the Print Options. --Somehow, OO refers to use US Letter pagesize; I don't know why it can't remember the reverse-print. Until today I thought that the Template section let the user set up the default font, indenting, reverse-print, and so on. But I've clicked right, left, midddle mouse-buttons; I've tried to drag icons,; I've highlighted paragraphs, and after hours , I admit failure. AFAIC, the Help files could use vast improvement by use of graphs and examples. ... If anybody on-list has figured this out before and will share I'll be extremely obliged. merci d'advanc, gary PS: OOo-1.1.5.
