Mounting Sony PSP
I would really like to mount my PSP in FreeBSD so I can on and off load files on my workstation, instead of having to use another, else where. Has anybody been able to mount it? Or have a How-To some place I could use? Thus far all my searches have come up with anything but what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Building ports with sorces on a local mirror?
On Saturday 26 August 2006 22:15, stan wrote: I'm in the process of seting up to build a fair number of machines behind a very restrictive firewall (and besides that the outbound link is very slow). What I have in mind is setting up a machine using mirror software to create a local mirror of the FreeBSD site, including the distfiles for the ports tree. Is thee a way to get the ports build system to look for distfiles on this local mirror? I'm doing something similar, but I'm keeping the ports tree on one machine and NFS-mounting /usr/ports from there on all my other hosts. Each host other than the master has WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/local/ports in /etc/make.conf. Each time I build a port on any of the machines, it downloads the distfile if it doesn't already exist - but because /usr/ports is on the master server, that's where all the distfiles end up (in /usr/ports/distfiles), so I download each source tarball once, the first time it needs to be installed. This saves bandwidth as I'm not trying to mirror all the distfiles whether I need them or not. You can also make packages which will be stored on the master server so you don't even have to compile more than once unless you need to. Word of warning: take steps to avoid downloading prebuilt packages if you don't have a locally-built package. For example, with portupgrade, edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and add ENV['PKG_FETCH']='false' which prevents ever fetching a package from the Internet: if there isn't a local package it will build from source in the ports tree.

Fullscreen crashes
Everytime* I use a program, usually a game, that switches into full-screen mode, I get dumped to a tty screen and everything is hung; I have to power cycle to fix it. Yesterday, everything worked perfectly. The only thing I did in the interim that influenced the system was to install gcc42 from ports, and then immediately after deinstall it. OS is 6.1-REL. I'm using the NVIDIA binary driver. It doesn't matter whether I start the programs in KDE or twm. *I didn't test every program--that would take too much time.

Re: taking many 198k mp3 files and converting them to 16k mp3
Gary Kline wrote:
Well, if/when you *do* try, please clue me in. --I'm too new to

hi-fidelity, but the problem is turnning analogue to digital.
Thrift isn't really an issue nowadays - you can get 50 DVD-Rs for about
$10-15 online. Cheap enough to use a few to experiement, in my opinion.
I did some experimenting last night, and got what seems to be a working
solution. I don't have a DVD burner where I am, so I haven't *actually*
burned one, but 2 software players (Apple's and Media Player Classic)
are both happy with the VIDEO_TS files. From my brief research, the
minimum bitrate for DVD audio is 32Khz, and there isn't a minimum for
the video, only a maximum. There is also a video-CD-like frame size of
352x480 for NTSC so you can reduced the video size further.
For my test audio file (2:12 song), I got:
2.2MB Original MP3 file - 192Kbit/sec 44.1Khz sample-rate joint stereo
3.3MB MP2 file - no changes apart from 44.1-48 resampling
0.5MB MP2 file - resampled to 48Khz, forced to mono and 32Kbit/sec
output stream
the 0.5MB file doesn't actually sound *that* bad for music - it's AM
radio quality. It would be fine for speech.
A 64Kbps video file to go with it is about 2.6MB, so the final 'DVD
file' is either 6.7M ('music' quality) or 4M ('voice' quality). DVD
authoring adds around 800K, but I don't believe this is per-chapter.
Assuming that it isn't, that's around 2400 minutes on a DVD-R (voice) or
1500 minutes (music), and it should be playable on any DVD player, since
it should be a full-spec DVD still.
Here's my notes on producing a disc. This is for an NTSC disc. For PAL,
you need to change 480 to 576 wherever it appears, add 'pal' instead of
'ntsc' to the dvdauthor line, and -f 25 instead of -f 30 in the
transcode line.
I'm no video expert, so I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but
this one worked for me!

Re: Booting gvinum fails: missing /dev/gvinum/* device entries
On 8/26/06, Aaron Gifford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote (or in other words, I wrote): No matter what I tried, booting always failed at the point of mounting the root filesystem. I would be kicked to a mountroot prompt. Any attempts at mounting root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/root failed. Even if I loaded geom_vinum.ko by hand during boot to be absolutely sure gvinum was loaded, this failed. At mountroot, the gvinum devices did not show up at all. So I fell back and mounted /dev/ad0a (my old non-gvinum drive) as root. That worked. kldstat showed that indeed geom_vinum.ko WAS successfully loaded. But when I looked in /dev nothing for gvinum showed up there. It was empty. The gvinum list command showed all my gvinum volumes working, but there were NO entries in /dev. No wonder I was unable to mount /dev/gvinum/root -- There was no device entry. So what's the deal? Any suggestions? Is there something I need to compile in my kernel? I managed to fix my own problem. Before I posted, I did some searching and found previous posts of people who were missing /dev/gvinum device entries. They mentioned that it was corrupt GEOM vinum metadata. I did not believe that this applied to my situation, as while booted of my older working i386 kernel running on a non-GEOM-vinum drive, the GEOM vinum volumes appeared and worked normally. Therefore, I concluded, the metadata must be in working order. However, no matter how I tried to boot off the amd64 kernel on the gvinum root volume, it failed. Closer examination made it look like perhaps under the amd64 kernel and geom_vinum.ko module, perhaps the metadata stored in the first 265 sectors (512-byte sectors) of the vinum partitions was being interpreted differently than it was by the i386 kernel and geom_vinum.ko module. This leads me to believe that the problem was one of the following: 1) Due to my changing the BIOS boot order of my drives (so as to boot from the gvinum drive running amd64 instead of the non-vinum i386 kernel drive), perhaps GEOM vinum got confused about the configuration since the BIOS device boot order was different; or 2) because of differences between the i386 and amd64 architectures, GEOM vinum volumes created under one architecture do not correctly appear under another architecture. If #1, then I need to remember this and be careful about changing BIOS boot order while running GEOM vinu. If #2, then I believe this is a bug in GEOM vinum. Volume metadata should be cross-architecture independent. So, FreeBSD gurus wiser in the innards of GEOM vinum than this user (pretty much everyone who knows how GEOM vinum actually works), which is the cause of my woes? Is it #1? Or is it #2? Or am I missing a third possibility entirely? Thanks for any future enlightenment!

Re: Fw: lothlorien.nagual.nl security run output
I'm a little worried after reading the security output this morning. It seems some files [ping, ping6, shutdown, at, atq and atrm] have setuid diffs. I really don't know why this could have happened. I updated some ports yesterday, but I don't think any port writes in /sbin (?) Could someboddy advice me on what can have happened? What ports have you updated? You can check if any of them has installed new files in /sbin by running `pkg_info -L your_updated_port-version`. See the -L option of pkg_info(1) in the man page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_infoapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASEformat=html You can also consider installing a Host Based Integrity Monitoring software. I use Osiris which is quite simple to setup and administer. It's already in the ports as security/osiris which you can get there: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/security/osiris/pkg-descr. Of course, don't install osiris on a machine which you're not sure if it has been tampered with, it would defeat the purpose... You can also take a look at other integrity checking software such as Samhain, Tripwire or aide.

Re: Hostile vs. Friendly instances of Sendmail
On Aug 25, 2006, at 12:57 PM, Brett Glass wrote: A company for whom I do consulting has a FreeBSD mail server. Because they're being deluged with connections from spammers (who have responded to the increasing use of graylisting by ordering their armies of bots to try again and again even when spam is rejected), they've subscribed to some DNS blacklists and set Sendmail to limit the number of processes it can spawn at any one time. This reduces the load on the system due to spamming, but also prevents internal users from getting the mail server's attention when they want to send legitimate outgoing mail. What's the best way to set things up so that more trusted, internal users can access their own instance of Sendmail (with less restrictive process limits, no blacklist checks, etc.) while the outside world sees an instance of Sendmail with blacklisting, process limits, connection limits, load limits, etc.? Will there be problems with file locking, queues, etc. if a third instance of Sendmail is started on a standard FreeBSD install (which normally runs two)? I totally agree with what Chuck Swiger has suggested here: You could also configure an external and an internal mailservers, have the internal mailserver be entirely firewalled from outside so that internal users and internal email are handled there without issues, and just worry about tuning the external mailserver which will then only need to do SMTP relaying and anti-spam stuff for the external mail traffic rather than serve dual-duty as a reader box. To help you with sendmail architecture, take a look at page 547 of the UNIX system administration handbook, 3rd edition by Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass and Hein. Don't be fooled by the funny images on this book, it's very clear and quite possibly the best UNIX administration book around with real world examples. You can find it at http://www.admin.com/Pages/USAH.html. Aside from the huge bat book, O'Reilly also publishes sendmail Cookbook which is great when it comes to configure sendmail.

Dhclient crashes my laptop
If I run dhclient wi0 the lights on the card go out, dhclient reports failure, and usually locks and reboots the machine. I am not sure what information you need, but here is what I have and what I have learned so far. I will gladly collect and post any info that may help. PCMCIA NIC card is a 3com airconnect, came with the access point. Laptop is an IBM ThinkPad 380xd (machine was free, rescued from trash at work to be a FreeBSD project) It is always plugged in when in use because the battery has about 5-10 minutes of life. Installed FreeBSD 6.1. dmesg shows that the wireless card is found and looks like it configures ok. If I enter IP gateway manually it works. Tried using the other card slot, same problem. Tried to start pccardd per the web site, command not found. I found a post that says to run OLDCARD on this machine, but that's not in 6.1 and the card is fine until dhclient tries to help. It's a project and has no significant documents (I think), so wiping it and going to a version with OLDCARD can be done if necessary. After I get this working I may tackle APM so the thing will shut off when I tell it to.

VTOBUS FAILED
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem on a Sun Ultra40 with 6.1 STABLE AMD64 on it, that looks like a hardware problem (Signal 10 aborts while compiling a kernel for instance). I have taken the root SATA disk out of this machine, and put it in another similar (but not identical U40). I thought that I would be able to confirm that it is a hardware problem on the first machine by booting off this disk, and repeating the things that failed on the suspect machine. However, with the disk in the 2nd machine, I get the boot menu, and during the kernel's hardware detection phase, it panics with a VTOBUS FAIL message. What's a VTOBUS, and why would this disk not be bootable in the 2nd machine? he 2nd machine has 2 dual core CPU's vs 2 single core in the problematic ones, and it also has a SCSI card in it. The kernel on the disk is most likely a custom one. Is thee a way to try booting from the GENERIC kernel on the disk? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

FreeBSD 5.4: 'cp -p' does not behave as documented
Hi folks, FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 i386 We have a script in our environment that is used to back up our mail logs. In essence it does: cp -p /var/log/maillog.0.bz2 /stats/maillogs/maillog-testcopy.bz2 According to the cp man page: snip -p Cause cp to preserve the following attributes of each source file in the copy: modification time, access time, file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID, as allowed by permissions. If the user ID and group ID cannot be preserved, no error message is displayed and the exit value is not altered. snip However, when I run this script or when I do a cp -p manually I am seeing: cp: chown: /stats/maillogs/maillog-copy-test.bz2: Permission denied For the record the user does not actually have permissions to do the chown, however we would still like to use 'cp -p' in order to preserve the remainder of the attributes and according to the docs this should be possible.

Re: Problems booting HP Proliant DL-320 G4 6.1-RELEASE
Ok, it does appear to the be BGE driver, as you suggested. Reinstalled, after resetting the bios, and as long as I don't configure the network interface, it boots and seems happy. I need a little help, I setup a sup file, and downloaded the sys hiearchy, but I'm not sure which files to copy over to the stock 6.1-RELEASE?In the sys/dev/bge directory there where two files that looked promising, if_bge.c and ifbgereg.h and I copied them over and tried to build a kernel, and it complained about VLAN needing 4 arguements, and only getting 3. I can copy whatever I need to a flash drive and read it on the DL320, so getting the files there is no problem. I've tried pulling the 6.1-CURRENT hiearchy down, and it won't build at all. Can you point me to the updated driver files?

Download the current bge driver from CVS, copy to a floppy, copy from floppy to server, recompile kernel. 2) Turn off the onboard SATA raid in BIOS, it uses adaptec microcode that isn't supported. If you want mirrored raid, there's a procedure that you can do to get it. 3) for some weird reason the system will hang during boot for up to TWO MINUTES. After it gets done doing whatever it's doing, it will continue booting. Install normally, don't do anything special. BIOS settings should be normal.

Re: taking many 198k mp3 files and converting them to 16k mp3

hi-fidelity, but the problem is turnning analogue to digital.
Thrift isn't really an issue nowadays - you can get 50 DVD-Rs for about
$10-15 online. Cheap enough to use a few to experiement, in my opinion.
Wow! that really *is* a deal. About where the floppies were
years back. I was guessing $2.50+ per blank.
I did some experimenting last night, and got what seems to be a working
solution. I don't have a DVD burner where I am, so I haven't *actually*
burned one, but 2 software players (Apple's and Media Player Classic)
are both happy with the VIDEO_TS files. From my brief research, the
minimum bitrate for DVD audio is 32Khz, and there isn't a minimum for
the video, only a maximum. There is also a video-CD-like frame size of
352x480 for NTSC so you can reduced the video size further.
For my test audio file (2:12 song), I got:
2.2MB Original MP3 file - 192Kbit/sec 44.1Khz sample-rate joint stereo
3.3MB MP2 file - no changes apart from 44.1-48 resampling
0.5MB MP2 file - resampled to 48Khz, forced to mono and 32Kbit/sec
output stream
the 0.5MB file doesn't actually sound *that* bad for music - it's AM
radio quality. It would be fine for speech.
A 64Kbps video file to go with it is about 2.6MB, so the final 'DVD
file' is either 6.7M ('music' quality) or 4M ('voice' quality). DVD
authoring adds around 800K, but I don't believe this is per-chapter.
Assuming that it isn't, that's around 2400 minutes on a DVD-R (voice) or
1500 minutes (music), and it should be playable on any DVD player, since
it should be a full-spec DVD still.
Video is a just-say-no in my case; I've got around 26 hours of
very high quality (192K) mp3 files (voice) that ought to be just
fine at 32K/48KHz monaural. This for the stuff that's taking up
hundreds of megs on-disk.
As for collecting my favorite, I don't have anywhere near 25
hours (1500 minutes) of them, so maybe I'll wait until mp4
or AACplus [[[ these are the same, right? ]]] is more widely
available, then stuff my few hours onto a regular CD-R.
Here's my notes on producing a disc. This is for an NTSC disc. For PAL,
you need to change 480 to 576 wherever it appears, add 'pal' instead of
'ntsc' to the dvdauthor line, and -f 25 instead of -f 30 in the
transcode line.
I'm no video expert, so I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but
this one worked for me!
Well sir, you are lightyears beyond me!! During my hackery years
I worked mostly in the supercomputer realm. Sound? video? on
a *computer*??? Faugh!
I'm finally learning what I was missing :-)
thanks much for your help. same for everybody else who
offered help, clues, and code!

Since you didn't show the lines you'd added, we can't suggest the right way to do it, but look at the if settings in rc.conf(5) and the Handbook description of configuring networking. Good luck. I did add the ifconfig commands to rc.conf, but the problem started before I did that, I did find a line in rc.conf setting ifconfig to something already having to do with configuration of an interface.

Download the current bge driver from CVS, copy to a floppy, copy from floppy to server, recompile kernel. 2) Turn off the onboard SATA raid in BIOS, it uses adaptec microcode that isn't supported.

Re: FreeBSD 5.4: 'cp -p' does not behave as documented
According to the cp man page: -p Cause cp to preserve the following attributes of each source file in the copy: modification time, access time, file flags, file mode, user ID, and group ID, as allowed by permissions. If the user ID and group ID cannot be preserved, no error message is displayed and the exit value is not altered. However, when I run this script or when I do a cp -p manually I am seeing: cp: chown: /stats/maillogs/maillog-copy-test.bz2: Permission denied You need to run this as root so the permissions and ownership all can be set. -Derek I think you misunderstand the poster's complaint. It's not that the permissions aren't being set, it's that the documentation is incorrect. This part: If the user ID and group ID cannot be preserved, no error message is displayed and the exit value is not altered. is not in accordance to the behaviour that they are seeing. The owner and/or group could not be set, but cp(1) fails, and displays a message, but the documentation says that it should not display an error message or fail. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

UFS2 fsck Question (semantics of -p)
Hi, I work on a project to automatically (by dynamically running the system) find crash recovery errors in storage systems and we are beginning to do some preliminary checking of FreeBSD. We found an error where on power failure the disk can get corrupted even after an operation has returned successfully on a synchronous mount. Fsck running with the -p option cannot fix this error, while running it without, does happen to fix it (in this particular test case). However, the fsck manfile says the following: The kernel takes care that only a restricted class of innocuous file sys- tem inconsistencies can happen unless hardware or software failures intervene. These are limited to the following: Unreferenced inodes Link counts in inodes too large Missing blocks in the free map Blocks in the free map also in files Counts in the super-block wrong These are the only inconsistencies that fsck_ffs with the -p option will correct; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits with an abnor- mal return status and an automatic reboot will then fail. For each cor- rected inconsistency one or more lines will be printed identifying the file system on which the correction will take place, and the nature of the correction. After successfully correcting a file system, fsck_ffs will print the number of files on that file system, the number of used and free blocks, and the percentage of fragmentation. Would you consider it an error if the -p option does not fix inconsistencies caused by a simple power failure, without any hardware or software corruption? I have two example ufs2 images of such errors that you can download. http://keeda.stanford.edu/ufs-umount-image http://keeda.stanford.edu/ufs-mount-sync-image Thank you very much for your help, Can Sar ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: freebsd-specific postfix antispam howto
Hello, Does anyone have any information on this? I've googled and have found a lot of information for Linux and even an OpenBSD howto, but i am looking for something freebsd-specific, preferably fbsd6. I'm having issues getting all the services, amavisd-new configured/starting up properly and would like to read someone's all-integrated freebsd-specific solution if any, to get an idea as to what i'm doing wrong? Not the best writeup, but these are my notes from when I did that awhile back... http://www.pjkh.com/wiki/postfix_amavis_spamassassin_clamav Note - I no longer use amavis or spamassassin, but instead use clamsmtp and postfix-policyd-weight. But that aside, maybe it will help. -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does QUOTA work for users not in /etc/password (ie. by UID?)
Hi all - I was looking at implementing QUOTA for a server, but all of our users are stored in a database (ftp/pop/imap authenticates against the db). They each have their own uid's though so the files are owned individually. I would think file system quotas would work for this, but from the docs I've read so far it doesn't say and all the various commands take a username as an argument, not a uid... So without actually trying it out, anyone know if quotas will work without matching /etc/passwd entries? Thanks! -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
