Re: Freebsd 6.1 Samba 3 as a PDC not using ldap
Hello I am looking for help with running SAMBA 3 as a PDC on Freebsd 6.1 I can get samba to run as a basic server no problem. but I would like it get samba to run as a pdc but not using ldap, I would be most grateful if I could see a working smb.conf file running as a pdc that would perhaps steer me in the correct direction. The examples that come with samba 3 have not been ported to freebsd and my visits to google have yielded lots of info but nothing that actually helps me. The problem comes for me to add machines get them to 'register' as part of the domain etc Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer Kind Regards Godfrey Godfrey, There are some very good examples on the samba site itself and they are also in the smaba docs on your machine. This guide is for Centos, but I found it quite useful: http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/24/30/Guides Rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help with installing php4 and upgrading mysql323 for Apache 1.36
Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out what and how to install and upgrade some programs/modules. This was very simple when I last did it, but I haven't been around doing this since version 4.7 was new and now some things have changed. Server is now 4.11 STABLE (or will be on monday). I have the latest Apache-mod_ssl installed and I need to have the latest mod_php4 for Apache aswell as upgrading mysql to the latest of the 323 version. (Perhaps I'll go for mysql 4.1, but I need to verify this with some software running on my system first.) What port/modul should I install to get php4 working under apache? I used to install mod_php4, but from my /usr/ports tree this seems deprecated to me. It's also important that I can make the php4 module work together with mysql 323. Any help very much appreciated!

The server that will replace this one will have the latest 6.X version for sure. I'll try with the php4 port, but I think there are a lot of build options there.

Stuttery Video Playback
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope! Ok, so I'm having real trouble playing videos under either FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Playback on OpenBSD is really choppy/stuttery, FreeBSD is a lot better but still enough to be annoying. I only have access to a FreeBSD installation right now so I'll stick with that. It's worth mentioning that the machine in question is more than up to the task of playing video: CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ (1658.54-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 1073725440 (1023 MB) avail memory = 1041784832 (993 MB) This is backed up by the fact that I don't get this problem under Linux. The closest I can come to a test case is running: dd if=/dev/urandom of=blah while a video is playing. Under FreeBSD this causes the video to freeze for a second and the dropped frame counter to increase by a varying number of frames. Linux, however, just keeps ticking along nicely. I've tried swapping the video card between an ATI 9200 and NVIDIA GeForce 4 and swapping the sound card between a VIA VT8235 and a CMedia CMI8738 but neither helped. I'm pretty sure that nobody that reads this will be able to reproduce this problem but at least it means I have a way of easily testing things if somebody is kind enough to help me try and resolve this problem.

Squid will serve many requests in parallel, but it is using select() rather than explicit multithreading. If you've provided enough RAM and disk space to Squid, it ought to improve the performance you get over a slow link by a decent amount (20-50% is not uncommon), but you have to tune it appropriately to get the best results...

Re: Stuttery Video Playback
I assume it is a DVD that is causing you grief. When you built MPlayer (I assumed that based on whom you sent this email), what make arguments did you pass? Since you built it, have you portupgraded? What I am trying to get at is I don't think your MPlayer installation is optimized. As an example, in my /ust/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file, I have the following MAKE_ARGS for mplayer: 'multimedia/mplayer' = [ 'WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes', 'WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes', 'WITH_KERN_HZ=512', 'WITH_DVD_DEVICE=/dev/acd0', 'WITH_CDROM_DEVICE=/dev/acd1', 'WITH_CDPARANOIA=yes', 'WITH_LIBCACA=yes', 'WITH_MAD=yes', 'WITH_THEORA=yes', 'WITH_AALIB=yes', 'WITH_THEORA=yes', 'WITH_TREMOR=yes', 'WITH_SDL=yes', 'WITHOUT_ESOUND=yes', 'WITH_VORBIS=yes', 'WITH_REALPLAYER=yes', 'WITH_XANIM=yes', 'WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes', 'WITH_MATROSKA=yes', 'WITH_XVID=yes', 'WITH_LZO=yes', 'WITH_XMMS=yes', 'WITH_DTS=yes', ], Those top three make args are what allows my PIII 450 MHz machine to play a DVD just fine. With those in their proper place in pkgtools.conf (near the bottom in the MAKE_ARGS section), you can portinstall or portupgrade mplayer and it will always be built with those flags.

I don't think either of these are possible because internal library structures (the size of off_t, or the field sizes and ordering of struct stat or FILE, for example) are different. Any converter would have to decompile the code into C (impossible in practice) and recompile it at a FreeBSD binary. I do not need to run a Linux binary. What I need to do is to link my object (.o) files compiled natively in FreeBSD with a foo.so which is a linux library. Take a look at the www/linuxpluginwrapper port, which creates wrapper libraries that convert Linux function calls to FreeBSD ones. You then use libmap.conf to substitute these libraries for any ones called by the Linux shared library. Depending on what your library's API looks like, and what external functions it calls, you might be able to get it to work.

Stale Dependencies ??????
I've recently had a few problems with KDE 3.5.1, so recently upgraded to 3.5.3 via the ports. I have a port upgrade script which is producing the following output when executed. Stale dependency: gconf2-2.14.0_2 -- openldap-client-2.2.30 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. now upgrading the required ports Stale dependency: gconf2-2.14.0_2 -- openldap-client-2.2.30 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

I never used bootonly CD but I'd say from it's name that it may be useful only to boot the system and, say, repare something if a system can't boot itself. All RELEASE CDs are made when a RELEASE occures. They never got re-rolled. You may consider installing the system from full RELEASE CD 20060616: AFFECTS users of emulation/linux_base-* AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port. To upgrade you have to run portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\* portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs This change is not related to FreeBSD base system. It's a ports one. You should upgrade (cvsup or like) ports to get the current ports tree (use ports-supfile). Would running the stock /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile be the best way to update the system after installing the OS or should I use the standard-supfile instead. This file is useful to track FreeBSD-STABLE version. But you should understand how to define the tag option. I'd recommend you using RELENG_6_1. It's a RELEASE + SECURITY patches branch. When you have some more skills to determine if you need a STABLE branch, you'll use RELENG_6 tag. I am going to be installing this on a friends computer who has never run FSBD before, and I want to be certain that I get it right. If it's a new installation and you want to use -release base system and security patches (so called -security branch). The process I may recommend for this: - fetch RELEASE-6 CD; - install the system (minimal); - boot from the hard disk; - use sysinstall to get the sources and ports; - install cvsup from packages; - use cvsup-stable with RELENG_6_1 tag to update the sources; - build and install world and kernel + use mergemaster; - reboot; - use cvsup-ports to update the ports tree; - compile and install needed ports. Some notes: o consider reading the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html It's not a short one but helps a lot. o there are _many_ other ways to do almost everything (i.e. install ports from pre-build packages but not compile it yourself and much more); o read /usr/src/UPDATING and /usr/ports/UPDATING; o do not install default linux_base port by hand but install the needed port (i.e. acrobat reader), in most cases the port itself should choose other ports it depends on; o try not to do everything blindly as for the docs but try to understand what are you doing, try to imagine the result before acting and after the work is done, compare what you get to that you expected and then consider redoing what you've done if don't achieve the goal; o you will need much spare time and much to learn, we will give you advices, reference to TFM and our knowledge...

Serial Communication
I have an old TCL/TK Script That I wrote several years ago that sends data out of a serial port into a Radio Shack Pro-64 scanner. The program basically programs the scanner with frequencies to listen to. I cant figure out how to make it work in FreeBSD. The port must be configured as follows COM1: 2400, 8, N, 1 The actual snippet of code that writes out to the port looks like this: cat dload.txt /dev/prd64 where /dev/pro64 was a device (com port configured as above)I had created (somehow) for the linux box I had at the time. The handbook reading did not provide enough detail for me to get the port configured and working. The port does not need anything to be recognized coming in since the operation is outbound only. Software or scanner cannot read the port anyway. Can anyone give me a primer or some help to get going?

Re: FreeBSD and VMWare
I have never gotten vmware to run as a program under FreeBSD, i.e. using FreeBSD as the host for other vmware machines. I have tried several times. Technically, VMWare doesn't support it. We have used FreeBSD at our company as a host for some Windows XP based machines running on VMWare 3 from ports. But I am not sure if that is exactly what you mean. It is running just fine.

problems running freebsd 6.0+
Hello, I'm hoping is the correct mailing list for this, if not, please feel free to direct me to a more appriopriate one. I have a box which I'm trying to run FreeBSD on. I can run FreeBSD 5.4 on it without any problems, but if I try run FreeBSD 6.0 or 6.1, at any point in time while the system is running (could be on load up or when system is already loaded), the computer just *freezes*. The only thing which can be done afterwards is a cold reboot. I hav checked the /var/log/messages file and haven't been able to find anything wrong. Hardware specs: Motherboard: A7N8X-X Has anyone ever had this kind of problem themselves or heard of it? Any help would be appreicated. Thanks!

Am not familiar with either, but are you sure this is hardware and not Windows specific software? My parents are 500 miles away, recently had a Microsoft problem out of warranty and were put off by Dell's request for $100 to resolve the problem. The local Professional Windows Weanie was given a chance but failed. With lots of doubt Dell could solve it remotely they took a chance. Was asked a few questions and asked to enable something, and shortly the Dell tech was inside their machine remotely. Problem was initially diagnosed and cured. Microsoft Autoupdate updated something that broke something else in Word. Next week the problem was back. Warranty service on the first call once again fixed the problem and properly disabled Windows from updating what ever it was again. They were very pleased that it only cost $100 and that it actually got things working as they were. They have lots of experience at paying locals $50 to $100 to make Windows work after it breaks. Often the pro does no good. They haven't had the same problems with the 800 MHz G4 iMac I gave them new for Christmas several years ago once they got DSL and quit using its built-in modem. But, I've heard bad things about their 'desktop offerings', and am not sure if that follows through to their Servers ... Listen closely enough and you'll hear bad about anything, if you want to hear bad. Dell offers product in every price class. They offer Walmart-grade of PCs. They offer high end stuff. Dell doesn't quite make it up to Apple or Sun standards. So, I'm kinda looking for both good, and bad, experiences with the PowerEdge stuff ... anyone with opinions? In my experience the Optiplex and PowerEdge lines are Dell's Good Stuff. This FreeBSD machine is a Dell PowerEdge 400SC with one of the first HT Pentium 4's at 2.8 GHz. Was $400 delivered. Or very little more than CPU + MB from other sources at the time. I got case, CD, floppy, mouse, keyboard, 40G HD, 128MB SDRAM, build in sound and gigabit ethernet, and 8MB PCI video card thrown in. Runs FreeBSD as if it was made to.

But, I've heard bad things about their 'desktop offerings', and am not sure if that follows through to their Servers ... So, I'm kinda looking for both good, and bad, experiences with the PowerEdge stuff ... anyone with opinions? We had about 70 sites with Dell Poweredge servers and they ran FreeBSD just fine. They were used for general purpose network servers and didn't do any desktop stuff. They did name service, web, email, listservice, radius dialup authentication, web proxy, etc. The number of users on each varied by site from a handful to a few thousand. The only trouble was with the DAT tape drives. Most of our sites had problems with the DATs. Dell service had to replace lots of them, some more than once. But a couple of sites spent the extra money to buy the DLT drives and they worked just fine, with no problem. It seemed to be mostly the DATs couldn't handle the service load we put on them. Recently one site decided to get an HP Proliant 350 just because they had a bunch of HP machines and it has been almost the same to work with as the Dell PowerEdge machines except the NIC driver was different and the HP was bought with the HP LTO Ultrium tape drive which I have come to like a lot - it is fast. SO, functionally, they seem to both be good and about the same. I have never made use of the Dell (or HP for that matter) remote diagnostic stuff. I don't know if that is hardware or requires some installed software. We completely wipe and rebuild the disks so anything Dell might put there is gone. ps. I have had no particular problem with any Dell desktops either, but haven't been completely happy with the HP desktops I have encountered. But, there haven't been many of them. jerry Thx ... Marc G.

From my experience (this is going back a little way now) with Dell PowerEdge 2650s with a Dell ERA II controller, the controller was nowhere near as good as the iLO on a HP ProLiant DL360 G3. The Dell cards were only able to transmit text to a remote controller, which given that at the time I was working with Windows Server 2003 was a real pain! The controllers also came to us with identical MAC addresses (across thousands of machines), which was a blast... All this having been said, however, the newer Dell controllers are undoubtably leaps and bounds above the ERA II. But, I've heard bad things about their 'desktop offerings', and am not sure if that follows through to their Servers ... Funny, I've always heard (relatively) good things about their desktops / laptops :-) So, I'm kinda looking for both good, and bad, experiences with the PowerEdge stuff ... anyone with opinions? I found I had really terrible support from Dell. This may just be a Dell Australia issue, or perhaps the technicians allocated to my employer weren't all that capable, or some such. I found countless problems with (for instance) the OpenManage software with things like not showing missing HDDs under certain circumstances (I seem to recall my main concern at the time was that a missing hot-spare for a RAID 5 array would go totally unnoticed / unreported in OpenManage despite being indicated on the machine's front information display). Having to scrub RAID volumes created with the Adaptec onboard RAID controller (a PERC 5/Di (Dell's designation), from memory) was a pain, too, and very lengthy (it would take around 20 hours for a 4 x 80 decimal GB disk RAID 5 set). My experience with HP servers suggests that this process isn't required for the cards they use, but I'll happily confess to being really ignorant of this whole process. I tend to think of Dell as a low-end provider that will cobble together systems based on whatever bits happen to be lying around (don't think that one PE 2650 is the same as the next!), which in turn are invariably the cheapest bits available for a particular job. I've made this sound bad - somewhat intentionally - but there's certainly a market for cheap over quality. I would be far less averse to chucking in Dell kit at home - particularly if it cost significantly less than other options - than I would be to chucking it in a big, geographically diverse organisation with much more expensive uptime requirements.

I've made this sound bad - somewhat intentionally - but there's certainly a market for cheap over quality. Just remember that Dell's business model is lower costs at all costs. They have made it a science of driving costs down, mostly by buying subgrade parts and moving their (at least) consumer tech support to areas of the world that have lower costs , and people you cannot understand very well (I have heard better of their enterprise tech support). I personally would never buy a Dell (both personal friends and acquaintances who have had problems as well as the more than average reports you hear about them) now, though 8 years ago I had a friend who swore by them -- he was an IT Director for a small company. There is a reason that Apple's Market Cap is equal to or greater than Dells with a 1/4 of the revenue... Not a technical answer.
