Adesklets YAB loading from the wrong config file
I am using the YAB desklet from adesklets and have configured it to use my choice of icons and apps by editing config.txt. However, yab seems to be loading up from some other file or is not scanning the config file while load. When i right click and choose configure it brings up the config.txtfile that I edited. No clue where to look. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Re: Time zone isn't displaying right one with 'tzsetup'
jdow wrote: From: Robert Gabaree [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried to update my new server to the new time zone by running 'tzsetup' and selecting Eastern. However, instead of showing 11:45, it shows 6:45 - 5 hours later. I even tried to do a 'cp /usr/share/ zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime but it didn't help. What can I do to fix it? What time does your BIOS say? And did you tell Linux which time zone the BIOS thinks it is in? There is a UTC=true or UTC=false line in /etc/sysconfig/clock you might investigate. Yeah, but this is *freebsd*-questions, so telling the OP how to fix a Linux box is not very coherent. You could well be exactly right on the diagnosis of the problem though: the CMOS clock on the motherboard can either be set to run UTC or it can be set to the local wall-clock time. The first (UTC) is preferred by Unix machines, the second by Windows. FreeBSD will cope with a CMOS clock set to run using the local wall clock time in order to play nice on multi-boot systems, but you have to tell the system it's operating in that mode. To change the setting, run /usr/sbin/tzsetup and when asked about the CMOS clock on the first screen, choose 'Yes' if your machine runs FreeBSD always or 'No' if you occasionally boot into Windows. Then choose your local timezone from the menus. If, after doing that, there is a zero length file /etc/wall_cmos_clock then you have set your system to use a CMOS clock set to wall clock time. See adjkerntz(1) for the full story. After running tzsetup, either restart ntpd to force your machine to step the clock a long way to sync with the server, or set the date/time manually as Greg described upthread.

Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
Recommend you get a [bigger|second] disk if you can though, or housecleaning will be a constant chore. I got it more or less working, although not completely set up, and then that 10GB disk died: click -- kerthunk -- click -- kerthunk continuously, even after cycling power, even with only the power connected :( After replacing it with a 160GB Hitachi, and reinstalling Windoze, Linux, and FreeBSD (in that order, as before), I seem to be back at square one -- FreeBSD won't boot -- but the details are different.

port will install. Don't know why it is failing the tests, as we need
someone who knows tcl to have a look at it.

You can also use the ports system which is more up to date typically than the binaries. However, installing via the ports means compiling from source which works but takes time. One port that you may want to install is: /usr/ports/sysutils/desktopbsd-tools go to it and type make clean make make install make clean This is a system to help you find programs and install them from source or binaries.

Both are excellent. DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD 5.5 while PCBSD is based on FreeBSD 6.1.

Hello, I am looking for the best possible solution in order to setup a High availability mail cluster using FreeBSD (smtp/imap/pop server with 1000 accounts). Selected software are as followed : --- - Postfix - Amavisd-new - SpamAssassin - Courier Imap - DCC-DCCD - Clamav - a web mail (not yet selected but probably horde) The idea is to offer a simple and very efficient solution in order for the server to have a 100% uptime under any circumstances. I would like (if possible) to stick to software available in the ports (for ease of maintenance). I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. heartbeat and syncing the two boxes using rsync ? What other solution would you think of ? Any pointer will be very appreciated I need to build my offer quite fast.

In /etc/crontab, I changed this: # Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. 1 3 * * * rootperiodic daily 15 4 * * 6 rootperiodic weekly 30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly # to this: # Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. 1 3 * * * rootperiodic daily 21 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15 4 * * 6 rootperiodic weekly 21 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly 21 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] # but all I get is a blank email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the best way to accomplish this?

Re: Linux-HA howto for FreeBSD.
Hi, I am looking for a good howto or a detailed explanation in order to deploy Linux HA on two BSD boxes. You can grab heartbeat from the FreeBSD ports at sysutils/heartbeat (i.e. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/heartbeat/pkg-descr) But unfortunately, it is only at version 1.2.4 in the ports while the actual software is now at version 2.0.7. I haven't tested if version 2.0.7 is operational on FreeBSD. Has anyone tried it? Should you want to give it a try since 1.2.4 is stable, the instructions on the website are fairly straight forward: http://linux-ha.org/GettingStarted#gettingstarted but it's RedHat specific. So just make sure you translate any RedHat hardware paths to the FreeBSD paths. Now, you'll need two seperate heartbeat links. So for the first one, you need an empty serial port on both machines along with a serial cable to link them together. For the second link, make sure you have a seperate network interface card on both machines and link them with a cross-link ethernet UTP cable. Use different network interface cards for your application networks. Ideally, your machines should have two serial ports, so that you can use one for the heartbeat link and the other for the serial console. Also ideally, both machines should have identical hardware. I'd also suggest to setup the disk drives in all your machines under gmirror(8) control. Read more about gmirror(8) at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gmirrorapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASEformat=html Make sure you two have identical hard disks and follow the instructions on how to set a RAID 1 FreeBSD OS under gmirror(8) from Ralf S. Engelschall at http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ Keep in mind that all this setup is not really usefull if the rest of your network infrastructure is not also redundant. Therefore, consider installing your firewalls under linux-ha/heartbeat and setup a linux virtual server cluster (also under heartbeat) which redirects http/ftp/sql requests to multiple web/ftp/database servers. You can find more information on linux virtual server (a.k.a. LVS) at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ There is a FreeBSD port of LVS under net/ipvs. You can get more information about LVS for FreeBSD on the author's web page at http://dragon.linux-vs.org/~dragonfly/htm/lvs_freebsd.htm Finally, you'll need to sync the data on all those nodes. For databases, consider MySQL real-time replication or Oracle Dataguard. For ftp and http data sets, take a look at net/rsync. For mail servers, it's a bit more tricky, but there is mail/maildirsync which I've never tried.

Geli questions.. ponderings..
Hello, Let me preface the email by saying I'm not overly familiar with geli, and it may already have the ability to do what I'm about to describe. The scenario: A FreeBSD based appliance at a customer premise. The customer really can't be trusted not to disasemble the box, and gain knowledge about the box configuration, software, and design. The idea: I'd like to use geli to encrypt *everything* on the disk. So if someone (a competitor maybe) removes the disk from the machine, he can't gain any data off of it easily. I know nothing is 100%, but why make the process easy for him? The problem: I don't want the end user to have to do anything to the box, to have it come back up after a reboot/power failure. The goal is an appliance that the client just plugs in, and forgets about it. The plan: the appliance would be persistantly connected to an SSL based VPN server at my central office. (Think OpenVPN server) I'd like a way for geli to encrypt the entire disk, but fetch the key from a server located on the VPN. this would require the appliance to boot up, access the internet (static IP), access the VPN (ssl key'd) and fetch the key that geli needs. Is this currently possible using geli (or even other software that I may not have heard of) or if not, would it be overly difficult to implement? Any feedback or brainstorming would be GREATLY appreciated.

That way the redirection with the pipe contains both stdout and stderr. As far as redirecting the periodic output to a different user, set daily_output in /etc/periodic.conf.

Ethernet over Firewire fwe0:
Hi, Is there any known problem with installing on a machine whose Ethernet is fwe0: Ethernet over Firewire ? I am still trying to install on that IBM Z61t notebook. I get it all to appear to work - boot into sysinstall, slicing and partitioning, making install choices and setting up the network config stuff until it goes to look up the FreeBSD ftp host. Then it sets there until it times out. This is with several mirrors and the main site. In the apparently related boot messages I see: firewire0: IEEE1394 (Firewire) bus on fwohci0 fwe0: Ethernet over Firewire on firewire0 if_fwe0: Fake Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 few0: Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 fwe0: if_start running defferred for GIANT There are several GIANT-LOCKED messages, both before and after this fwe0 block of messages in the form of uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] etc for 0..3 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] atkbd: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] I presume these are normal because I see similar messages at boot time on machines that work fine. But, I mention since there was a fwe0 message saying if_start is deffered for GIANT and I didn't see anywhere that it did anything like resume running. Anyway, I can't seem to install over ftp - with a fixed IP and hostname. I am quite sure I got things like gateway and nameserver correct - at least some of the times I have tried it. The NIC seems to work under XP (I am setting up a dual boot) since it is able to bring down some web stuff. So, I believe the connection is good, speed, duplex matches, etc. The fwe man page says to add device firewire and device fwe to kernel config, but I presume the install kernel has them because it seems to recognize things OK - just not talk over it. So, any hints - is there something that needs enabling. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
Well, you're at least as far as having the disk sliced up in a workable way, or the bootstrap wouldn't start at all. This jumps out as not only being bad, but happening right before meltdown. acpi: bad RSDP checksum (210) I suspect it's a red herring, since I was getting that message at that point when everything was working (with the 10GB drive). It's a little hard to visualize how ACPI troubles could cause this behavior anyway. The loader is apparently able to read /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and ls finds a reasonable-looking collection of stuff, just no file named 'kernel'. If ACPI -- or anything else -- were interfering with drive access, I'd expect to see a garbled directory structure, or nothing at all. After a CD boot, is there a reasonably simple way to have sysinstall reinstall just the kernel -- or the package containing it -- without starting completely over? Have you got the latest Dell BIOS for this hardware? If not you may be SOL if they don't support this hardware any more. I expect the GX1 is well past Dell's official EOL, but they may still have the files downloadable on their support site. The BIOS version is A08. Dunno if it is the latest, but I do have ACPI turned off in the BIOS. I guess it is arguably a BIOS bug for an RSDP to exist when ACPI is disabled, and/or a FreeBSD bug to be complaining about ACPI when it is disabled. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I remeber in this thread somewhere it was saying you had a Dell GX1??? I've installed FreeBSD 6.0 on such a system and upgraded to 6.1-p3. The A08 BIOS is old, A10 is what I have. I think thats the latest but I'm not positive. ACPI needs to be turned on in the BIOS in order for shutdown -p to function otherwise you must manually shut it off after the halt. Whatever you do DO NOT INSTALL GRUB. It doesn't work at all and just corrupts the root partition. At least this has been my experience, only machine so far I've encountered. I would update the bios first to A10 or the latest (let me know if A10 ain't the latest), make sure ACPI is turned on and then find yourself a 6.0 iso to install and then upgrade it. Especially if there is a problem with 6.1 installing a kernel. Maybe this has been asked but the install did ask you which distribution you wanted right? Sometimes sysinstall gets confused when I change my mind on things and never asks for the distributions I want to install. This always ends with an unusable system. even though it appears to be installing something. good luck, if this is an GX1 it should work eventually, and if memory serves me the A10 bios fixed some ACPI issues from previous version.

Re: Ethernet over Firewire fwe0:
Hello, Sorry for adding to my post before anyone responds, but: I went ahead and installed from CD and have tried to talk to the net with the fully installed system up. During boot it finds the fwe0: card and appears to be happy, but nothing talks. When I do an 'ifconfig -a' I get: fwe0: flags=108943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::6:1bfffe233833%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 35.8.1.20 netmask 0xfff8 broadcast 35.15.255.255 ether 02:06:1b:23:38:33 ch 1 dma 0 Followed by the lo0: loopback stuff. It looks a lot like the other machines I have plugged in to the same switch that work except for the 'NEEDSGIANT' thing. Am I right in assuming that it would not come up with this ifconfig and the fwe stuff in the boot messages if it were not properly in the kernel? Are there any clues from this or where else can I look to see why this thing doesn't talk to the net (but does in XP)? I will appreciate any direction. The only only google hits I have gotten that seem possibly relevant point to ubuntu and I can't seem to get to that server (from another machine that is working)- it times out. jerry Hi, Is there any known problem with installing on a machine whose Ethernet is fwe0: Ethernet over Firewire ? I am still trying to install on that IBM Z61t notebook. I get it all to appear to work - boot into sysinstall, slicing and partitioning, making install choices and setting up the network config stuff until it goes to look up the FreeBSD ftp host. Then it sets there until it times out. This is with several mirrors and the main site. In the apparently related boot messages I see: firewire0: IEEE1394 (Firewire) bus on fwohci0 fwe0: Ethernet over Firewire on firewire0 if_fwe0: Fake Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 few0: Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 fwe0: if_start running defferred for GIANT There are several GIANT-LOCKED messages, both before and after this fwe0 block of messages in the form of uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] etc for 0..3 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] atkbd: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] I presume these are normal because I see similar messages at boot time on machines that work fine. But, I mention since there was a fwe0 message saying if_start is deffered for GIANT and I didn't see anywhere that it did anything like resume running. Anyway, I can't seem to install over ftp - with a fixed IP and hostname. I am quite sure I got things like gateway and nameserver correct - at least some of the times I have tried it. The NIC seems to work under XP (I am setting up a dual boot) since it is able to bring down some web stuff. So, I believe the connection is good, speed, duplex matches, etc. The fwe man page says to add device firewire and device fwe to kernel config, but I presume the install kernel has them because it seems to recognize things OK - just not talk over it. So, any hints - is there something that needs enabling. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(or alternatively taking a backup of the results from a periodic pkg_info installed_packages.txt and painstakenly going through the list and reinstalling everything one-by-one). If you are reinstalling all the ports anyway, and you know which ones they are, then you probably don't need /var/db/pkg for the restore.

Re: Geli questions.. ponderings..
The idea: I'd like to use geli to encrypt *everything* on the disk. So if someone (a competitor maybe) removes the disk from the machine, he can't gain any data off of it easily. I know nothing is 100%, but why make the process easy for him? It seems like there is a more basic problem here than automating key downloading. If the end-user can boot up the box, then they have an opportunity to interfere with the boot process. The code providing instructions to fetch a remote key would have to be in the clear, in which case the competitor could just use that code to get the remote key (since it would do so automatically on boot, I assume you're not requiring the client to call you for key authorization every time?) and then access the disk. The problem is wanting to automate the decryption process, I think.

Hi Bob, I've seen this happening to a Dell server, that used a SCSI raid. One disk was with a faillure, and this would lock up the machine.

Cluster mail system using FreeBSD
Hello, I am looking for the best possible solution in order to setup a High availability mail cluster using FreeBSD (smtp/imap/pop server with 1000 accounts). Selected software are as followed : --- - Postfix - Amavisd-new - SpamAssassin - Courier Imap - DCC-DCCD - Clamav - a web mail (not yet selected but probably horde) The idea is to offer a simple and very efficient solution in order for the server to have a 100% uptime under any circumstances. I would like (if possible) to stick to software available in the ports (for ease of maintenance). I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. heartbeat and syncing the two boxes using rsync ? What other solution would you think of ? Any pointer will be very appreciated I need to build my offer quite fast.

That depends on whether you're running ntpd or not. If you are, your best bet is to stop ntpd and run ntpdate, specifying the same server, then restart ntpd. If you're not running ntpd, just set the date: date 08232355 See the man page for the format. Greg Also, instead of copying EST5EDT to /etc/localtime you can use a symlink. That way when EST5EDT gets updated you will automatically use the new version. So, su cd /etc ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT localtime exit Obviously, substitute the appropriate zoneinfo file if you are not on US Eastern time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
After a CD boot, is there a reasonably simple way to have sysinstall reinstall just the kernel -- or the package containing it -- without starting completely over? Yeah, see what Derek wrote. Never done that, myself, or even heard of the kernel not getting installed. What Derek wrote? I haven't gotten that. What I did (for the archives): Make note of root partition. One way to find it is (at the OK prompt after the boot failure) more /etc/fstab Boot CD Get into Fixit mode Mount root partition on /mnt mkdir /mnt/boot/kernel cp /dist/boot/kernel/kernel /mnt/boot/kernel Granted that's the install kernel, which may not be all that great for general use, but it works well enough to get back to the X-config trouble I was having before the disk died (which is likely to become a new thread here -- xorgcfg is producing a blizzard of unresolved symbol messages when trying to load drivers; the mouse doesn't work; the keypad-based mouse emulator works after a fashion but I can't figure how to tell it ok, done; ...). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
You pretty much followed what I had wrote before that when I had a similar problem, I booted the install disk, but exited sysinstall to a shell prompt. I then mounted the root partition, then manually copied over the kernel from the install CD to the root partition. That does copy over the GENERIC kernel which usually works but you may want to customize. Once I rebooted the system I cvsup'd, made and installed the world and a custom kernel. Remaking world will likely fix the problems you are having. -Derek At 07:22 PM 8/23/2006, Perry Hutchison wrote: After a CD boot, is there a reasonably simple way to have sysinstall reinstall just the kernel -- or the package containing it -- without starting completely over?

Sendmail and Proper Authentication
Hello all. I have been using FreeBSD for several months now, and have been configuring it as a multipurpose server. I've installed a web server, database, and a handful of other utilities. I also have now been attempting for some time to configure an e-mail service - with Sendmail. Although everything seems to work fine with receiving e-mail, I have had significant trouble with sending it. For example, I have been trying to send an e-mail from my FreeBSD server to my Gmail account. The first problem I experienced was that there a host name lookup failure for gmail.com, which I have subsequently corrected by adding the line: gmail.com smtp:[smtp.gmail.com] to /etc/mail/mailertable. However, there is still a problem, when I try to send an e-mail, /var/log/maillog says: Aug 23 23:18:08 arches sm-mta[1049]: k7O3I7K2001049: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=397, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[EMAIL PROTECTED], proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv6, relay=localhost [IPv6:::1] Aug 23 23:18:16 arches sm-mta[1051]: STARTTLS=client, relay=gmail-smtp.l.google.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DES-CBC3-SHA, bits=168/168 Aug 23 23:18:16 arches sm-mta[1051]: k7O3I7K2001049: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=[EMAIL PROTECTED] (1007/0), delay=00:00:08, xdelay=00:00:08, mailer=smtp, pri=30397, relay=gmail-smtp.l.google.com.

I can't understand why it continues to say Service unavailable when I know Gmail is not experiencing any downtime or anything else. Is this some sort of spam filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Low Priority Apps
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD 4.x box running an app that uses 30-50% of the processor. Periodically (through cron) we run a perl app that processes log files and inserts the entries to sql. This perl + mysql combination is causing problems for our app and I'd like to run them at a low priority. What nice value should I give them - should I lower the value of just the perl, or both, or make the high priority app's value higher?
