I will have to investigate that one. However, the /mail/p5-Net_SMTP-TLS port is not the same as the CPAN Net-SMTP-SSL module, which is the one I am looking for. CPAN lists both the Net::SMTP::SSL and Net::SMTP::TLS modules. They are not identical. I need the Net::SMTP::SSL module for a Perl program that I am using. It is required by the program.

USB and 6.1-RELEASE
I've searched through and browsed the archives, and can't find anything that helps me with this. I've recently gotten my Compaq SR1910NX up and running on FreeBSD 6.1, but am having trouble getting it to recognize my SwingDrive umass device (USB 2.0, 512MB). The only thing that's different from this machine's from-the-factory configuration is the addition of a Linksys WMP55AG wireless card, which is working just fine thanks to the ath driver. I know the USB controller is working because both my USB keyboard and my USB mouse function (though the keyboard (a Happy Hacking Lite 2) is a little quirky ... when I hold down the shift key to type a word in all caps, it doubles up the letters LIKEKE THTHIISS sometimes, and I still haven't gotten Xorg to recognize the scroll wheel on the mouse). scbus, da, pass, ohci, uhci, ehci, usb, udbp, ugen, uhid, ukbd, ulpt, umass, ums, ural, urio and uscanner are all enabled in the running kernel's /usr/src/sys/i386/conf config file. usbd is not running. When I try to start usbd I get the following: No USB host controllers found. There are no usb* devices listed in /dev. in dmesg I get the following with regard to ohci0 and ehci0: ohci0: OHCI (generic) USB controller mem 0xfe02f000-0xfe02 at device 11.0 on pci0 pcib0: unable to route slot 11 INTA ohci0: Could not allocate irq device_attach: ohci0 attach returned 6 ehci0: EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller mem 0xfe02e000-0xfe02e0ff at device 1 1.1 on pci0 pcib0: unable to route slot 11 INTB ehci0: Could not allocate irq device_attach: ehci0 attach returned 6 When I plug the drive into any of the USB ports on the system, nothing happens in dmesg or /var/log/messages. camcontrol devlist lists no devices. I'm a bit confused as to why my USB keyboard and mouse function, but my thumb drive will not. Any ideas? Did I miss something in the kernel config? Do I need to enable something in rc.conf?

ADSL Internet Sharing
Hi, I have some problems sharing my adsl internet connection between my FreeBSD 6.0 Box (server) and my Ubuntu 6.0.6 box (client). I use a crossover cable to connect the two PCs and on the FreeBSD PC I have an onboard network card (fxp0) and an wireless card (ural0) and on my Ubuntu box I have one NIC (eth0). My goal is to have my internet connection shared. The router I use to have internet access from my BSD box is downstairs so I connect to the internet via my wireless card. The ip address of the router is 192.168.1.1 and of my fxp0 interface 192.168.0.1. Of my eth0 is 192.168.0.2. I have set on Ubuntu as gateway 192.168.0.1 (my BSD box's address). Also i can ping the two pc from each other, but from ubuntu i cannot ping the router or any internet address. I have the following to my /etc/rc.conf gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN natd_enable=YES natd_interface=fxp0 natd_flags= and the option described on the Handbook compiled in the Kernel.

Restarting Apache cures the problem for some time, until the problem appears again. It is not that frequent, but the servers are not much loaded either. I think I saw this problem appear with Apache 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, so it's apparently here for a while. And others had this problem too: http://groups.google.ch/group/lucky.freebsd.apache/browse_thre ad/thread/7a5735ae7a3a4c2d/e2d0d9ba4ad7266e?lnk=stq=Connectio n+refused%3A+connect+to+listener+on+0.0.0.0%3A80rnum=1 hl=de#e2d0d9ba4ad7266e I'm pretty sure this problem must be BSD or Jails specific. Does anyone have the same problem, or maybe a workaround? Note that Lighttpd NEVER had this problem on this server. One more precision: of course, when apache starts filling the log with Connection refused: connect to listener on 0.0.0.0:80, the web server does not respond anymore, until I restart it. Hi again, I did some further tests with Apache under FreeBSD 6.0 - Jail, and unfortunately, there is still the same annoying problem: suddenly the log starts being filled with hundreds of lines Connection refused: connect to listener on 0.0.0.0:80, and Apache does not respond anymore.

Acording to the Handbook, I should be able to do something like: gmirror lable -vnb round-robin load rootfs /dev/ad4 ( /dev/ad4 is the boot disk) But when I do this, I get an error message with the syntax of gmirror.

It is either your hardware sucks b. your benchmark application sucks 'k, here's to all the performance folks ... how should someone test performance? a. actually doesn't apply, as long as your performance testing is being done apples to apples as far as hardware is concerned ... if I create a dual-boot system, with FreeBSD 4.x and FreeBSD 6.x on a machine, and run *accepted performance / benchmark applications*, and compare those results, one would hope that 6.x performance fater/better then 4.x ... 2) Regarding SMP, few posts talked about disabling hyper-thread and SMP because it causes a performance degradation. On production hosting server, the experience was otherwise though. Without HT and SMP, the server would sky rocket in resource consumption. This has been tested on FBSD 5.4 i386 Personally, I've never found HT to be a performance boost, and I run 9 'production hosting servers' ... I can actually feel the difference between turning it on/off ... not sure what you mean by 'sky rocket in resource consumption', but all my Dual Xeon servers have HTT disabled, and I'm not noticing anything odd ... if you could elaborate on how you are seeing this, I can check on my machine to see if I see similar ... 3) I'm also frustrated like many with the rapid advancement in release jumps. We barely started 5.x to conclude it does not live up to expectations, so now 6.x is suppoused to be the good version, yet 7.x is going to come out soon and probably in less than a year 6.x will be considered inadequate.

I've recently gotten my Compaq SR1910NX up and running on FreeBSD 6.1, but am having trouble getting it to recognize my SwingDrive umass device (USB 2.0, 512MB). The only thing that's different from this machine's from-the-factory configuration is the addition of a Linksys WMP55AG wireless card, which is working just fine thanks to the ath driver. I know the USB controller is working because both my USB keyboard and my USB mouse function (though the keyboard (a Happy Hacking Lite 2) is a little quirky ... when I hold down the shift key to type a word in all caps, it doubles up the letters LIKEKE THTHIISS sometimes, and I still haven't gotten Xorg to recognize the scroll wheel on the mouse). scbus, da, pass, ohci, uhci, ehci, usb, udbp, ugen, uhid, ukbd, ulpt, umass, ums, ural, urio and uscanner are all enabled in the running kernel's /usr/src/sys/i386/conf config file. usbd is not running.

I'm a bit confused as to why my USB keyboard and mouse function, but my thumb drive will not. Any ideas? Did I miss something in the kernel config? Do I need to enable something in rc.conf? According to what's in the FreeBSD handbook, this should be working ... It's likely that your BIOS has legacy support enabled in which case, as far as FreeBSD is concerned, you actually have a regular keyboard and mouse. That would explain why the mouse and keyboard work while other USB items do not. From the messages you gave, it's clear that FreeBSB is unable to connect to the USB controller. Disabling legacy support in the BIOS may help. Otherwise check your BIOS for other USB related settings and try changing those.

Re: LinkLib Issues In freebsd Lazarus
This is really more appropriate for -questions, so I've redirected it
there.
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bob Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed:
Hi Folks:
I believe this is a hacker issue, at least any possible solution is.
I recently moved from Linux to FreeBSD as my primary work environment.
My development system of choice is FreePascal. I installed FPC-2.0.2
from the official FreePascal distribution tar ball
I'd say this is a mistake. You should probably install the fpc port in
/usr/ports/lang/fpc. There may be reasons to install your own version
instead of a port, but you haven't presented any.
My next step was to install Lazarus, the FPC IDE, and here is where I
have run into troubles.
Again, you should probably have used the ports version, in
editors/fpc-ide.
A tar-ball install ran well until Lazarus was being Linked. The errors were:
the following libraries were not found by ld: glib12, gdk12, and gtk12.
Where did you get these from? And what versions are they?
a grep -r in the FPC-2.0.2 source tree revealed the problems, in every
case of:
packages/extra/ glib, gtk, and gdk the linklib statements were wrong thus:
{$ifdef FreeBSD}
gtkdll='gtk12';
{$linklib gtk12}
So, I created a patch to fix the above constructs to:
{$ifdef FreeBSD}
gtkdll='gtk-12';
{$linklib gtk-12}
For all three libraries; since freebsd names these libraries with a -
I recompiled and reinstalled FPC-2.0.2 with the patches applied,
re-tested the compiler; all OK!
I went back to the Lazarus source tree gmake clean; gmake and received
the following error:
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.0.2 [2006/07/14] for i386
Copyright (c) 1993-2005 by Florian Klaempfl
Target OS: FreeBSD/ELF for i386
Compiling lazarus.pp
Linking ../lazarus
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf
lazarus.pp(113,1) Error: Error while linking
a locate gdk_pixbuf finds: /usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0
So, at this point I just sym-linked my libgdk_pixbuf-2.0 to
libgdk_pixbuf: ln -s libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.a libgdk_pixbuf.a
This is almost certainly a mistake, as a major version number change
indicates that the interface changed.
and ran gmake again, only to produce:
Linking ../lazarus
/usr/home/bob/lazarus/lcl/units/i386-freebsd/gtk/gtkint.o(.text+0x6f65):
In function `DATASOURCEINITIALIZE':
gtkobject.inc:2309: undefined reference to `gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable'
Many many more undefined reference to something missing in gdk_pixbuf.
Well, yeah - you're linking against *the wrong library*. My system has
a /usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.a, installed from the
graphics/gdk-pixbuf port. That does have the function you're looking
for.
so: freebsd's stock-installed gdk_pixbuf does not contain the functions
needed!
No, FreeBSD's stock-installed gdk_pixbuf-2.0 does not contain the
functions you need from gdk_pixbuf. This should not be surprising.
So, I went to ports and found ruby18-gdk_pixbuf2-0.14.1 a make
install provided gdk_pixbuf2.so but no gdk_pixbuf2.a !! I find it
odd that no provision is provided to link to this lib!
Again, you *don't want* gdk_pixbuf2. And that port doesn't provide
gdk_pixbuf2, but almost certainly requires it, so it'll install the
port to provide that library if it isn't there. But that doesn't help
you at all.
Funny! I moved away from Linux mainly because of Library-Hell issues :-)
Shared library versioning hell is platform-independent. In general,
FreeBSD's port/package system is older than Linux package
managers. This means they got to learn from it, and are in some ways
better. On the other hand, it also means that the freebsd ports system
has features that those systems may not have yet.
In particular, you can use the sysutils/portupdate port to update
ports, and it will move old versions of shared librarys out of the way
so they don't confuse new builds, but will still be found by older
packages that depend on them.
You can also use the sysutils/portsearch port to find files that the
ports will install for you.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I seem to have run
out of things to try here. Surely someone has successfully compiled
Lazarus on freebsd
I'd install the fpc and fpc-ide ports. If you want to continue the way
you started, delete your bogus symlink, and install the
graphics/gdk-pixbuf port to get the library you need.

After boot I can do a # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh start ...and the daemon runs and works, but I would like for it to start automatically on boot, with no manual intervention. Any thoughts on how to do this? Google didn't find anything useful, nor did a search of the -questions archive. On a hunch, I renamed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dhcpd.sh, but still no love, so I put it back. In /etc/rc.conf I have dhcpd_enable=YES # Run the DHCP daemon... dhcpd_ifaces=rl1 # ...on this interface... dhcpd_flags=-q# ...in quiet mode. # grep dhc /var/log/messages shows only the usual rash of intrusion attempts from 0wn3d Windows machines, e.g. May 19 22:28:00 mail sshd[22367]: error: PAM: authentication error for root from 24-231-195-180.dhcp.bycy.mi.charter.com Other pertinent info: # uname -a FreeBSD mail.monochrome.org 6.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jul 15 20:50:20 EDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 # pkg_info | grep isc-dhcp3-server isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.3 The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server ...a little out of date, I know, but that has no bearing on the issue at hand.

Re: [bugs] SMP, KDE3 and OpenOffice
On Sun, Jul 16, 2006 at 03:12:49PM +1000, Rob Hurle wrote: I'm trying to set up FreeBSD on my box, which has an Intel D945GNT motherboard, two 3.2GHz processors, 1GB memory. The system installs OK and I've been able to use cvsup to upgrade everything, remake the kernel (for SMP), build OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 KDE 3.5. Just to clarify, are those processors amd64/em64, or ia32? Are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit system on them? Aah. I see from your uname, below, that you're running i386 code. That should remove a few potential pitfalls. However, three problems remain unsolved in spite of all of these things: 1. Only one processor seems to be used. The output from top -S is: PID USERNAMETHR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 11 root 1 171 52 0K 8K CPU1 0 0:00 99.02% idle: cpu1 12 root 1 171 52 0K 8K RUN0 139:40 98.34% idle: cpu0 It seems to me that the FreeBSD scheduler is pretty keen on processor affinity, which is a good thing. My AMD-X2 dual core system has been up a good deal longer than yours, but the idle times are still fairly different: root 12 99.0 0.0 016 ?? RL8Jul06 9797:24.05 [idle: cpu0] root 11 98.5 0.0 016 ?? RL8Jul06 11206:02.27 [idle: cpu1] Do you get any activity on the other CPU if you do a buildworld with make -j4 or so? 2. KDE 3.5 does not like to run any screensaver. They all run OK on test, and if I run the actual programs themselves, there is no problem. However, KDE will not start them up automatically. I'm afraid I run a GNOME system, so I can't help with that problem. The screen saver doesn't seem to have any trouble starting under GNOME, but I haven't been able to get it to do the DPMS monitor power-down yet. Still investigating that. 3. OpenOffice.org does not like any of the files produced from anywhere else. I have stuff written in StarOffice 5.2 and in MS Word, but none of these will open. Even stuff written using OpenOffice.org 2 on a MS system is not acceptable. The error is always General I/O Error. OpenOffice will read files that it has written quite OK and permissions, ownership, etc all seem to be OK. I believe that most of the OOo file import functionality is provided by Java modules, and it will successfully build without this functionality if you don't have or don't want to run Java. Do you have a working native Java implementation? You might need to get Java going before building (or re-building) OOo. Neither the KDE nor the OpenOffice problem has altered by upgrading these two systems and the SMP problem is also the same as with the GENERIC kernel. uname -a gives: FreeBSD grandpa.connect-a.com.au 6.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jul 15 16:46:44 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SMP i386 -- Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[KDE] starting application on specific desktop ...
Hi ... I'm not finding anything that sounds relevant in the X man page, so either it isn't possible (which would be weird) or I'm missing something ... I have 8 desktops running under KDE ... I'd like, for instance, when azureus starts up, it goes to the 8th desktop, not current one ... or, when someone messages me, it goes to the 7th desktop, etc ... Is it possible to tell the starting window which desktop under KDE? thx ... Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email . [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN .

defining dependencies for ports
Hello. I'm brand new to FreeBSD. I'm mostly enjoying it so far. I'm playing with installing the Eclipse IDE port right now. I say playing with because I started to install it and saw the list of dependencies and shuddered. I like to keep my system relatively clean and tend to start a new install of Linux (and now BSD) as bare bones and add only what I need. So I'm building Eclipse, and one of the things it wants to include is python . Seems odd for my java ide to need python, so I look it up on the web tool that shows all the dependencies for a port (which is a fantastic tool, by the way). And python is included because glade is included, and glade seems to be a top-level dependency. However, nowhere can I find in the Makefile any reference to Glade, nor to the many other top-level dependencies. How do I find out these things and once I find them, how do I change them so I don't include? (Mozilla is another example, but this one I actually see in the Makefile for the Eclipse port. However, make config and make configure don't ask me if I want mozilla -- I use firefox). This applies generally. I installed other ports too that had odd dependencies (like including perl because of some helper scripts that aren't even required to be run). Is there a command I'm missing that let's me configure these things? On a side note, is the name pretty-print-build-depends-list designed to keep me from running the command? ;-) And after typing all that, the output wasn't really even pretty. thanks for any tips. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've been using FreeBSD only two days now. Currently I run slackware. mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Streaming video real time

Basically, I need to be able to see the temperature sensor in the room when an alarm is indicated, and I need to be able to see what mode the A/C is in.

And, I am running FBSD 5.3 on the server. Any suggestions as to what I should look at would be greatly appreciated. I don't think streaming is really mandatory for this kind a setup... Just do a cron job every 1 minute (ajust if necessary) that will take a picture, and save it as jpg in the root of your website... Then just use a simple meta refresh in your web page so that it reloads itself every 1 minute... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We're usually focused on making sure things work instead of keeping dependencies to a minimum. FreeBSD is not Windows (or some flavors of Linux) where you're afraid of installing any software because it will never really uninstall. Here we've got most things very clean and automated. So just go ahead and take it easy about all the dependencies. You're not installing Eclipse on an embedded system with 4Mb flash memory, are you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
