Correct. There are no Korean FreeBSD hosts out there... that have
signed up.
I have about 8 or 10 boxes, I've signed up only one. No particular
reason.
somewhat similar... i've got boxes here in AU which, for a reason or other,
haven't added.
how does bsdstat count jails, btw? :)

jail removal
Hi, How do you remove a jail? I can't seem to find information about this. I've partially removed a jail and I want to start over and recreate it differently, but I'm having trouble removing files.

Re: Simple Mailing List with Sendmail
Hi, Unless you can find a way to keep anyone else from sending mail to this list, I don't reccomend doing this. We tried this several years ago as a way to send an email to all of our ISP customers at once and quickly discovered that if one (or more) computer on the list had a virus then everyone on the list started receiving virus containing email. Now, of course, we stop viruses at the server level before they reach the mail boxes but even so, you can see how problems can crop up doing a mailing list this way. There are better ways. Someone mentioned Mailman. Also, do your students pop their mail? If so, do you use Qpopper as your POP3 server? If you do, you might look at Qpopper's bulletins feature. That is how we solved this problem.

Re: cups 1.2.2 and parallel port printers

I have installed cups and all foomatics from ports, as well as some other filters. I think there might be a bug. At first CUPS did not work because of the bug reported in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2006-July/094331.html Unable to open parallel port device file /dev/lpt0: Permission denied The bug fix in that report corrected this problem, and I guess FreeBSD 6.1 won't have that prblem anymore. The problem that remains now, however, relates to foomatic-rip. The printer is detected (Device URI is parallel://dev/lpt0), but when I try to print the test page, I get the following message: hp (Default Printer) /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed I have no idea as to what this means, since it seems the path is correct. Furthermore: machine# ls -l foomatic-rip lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 9 Set 04:29 foomatic-rip - /usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: cups 1.2.2 and parallel port printers
I have this in my /etc/devfs.rules file on a system successfully using CUPS with a parallel port printer: [localrules=10] add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups (I also have 'devfs_system_ruleset=localrules' in my /etc/rc.conf file.) That makes sure that CUPS can access the lpt* devices (including the lpt*.ctl devices). Mode 0660 also ensures that not everyone can access lpt*, just root and members of the cups group (i.e., CUPS).

what's the best way to re-install ports as packages?
People, In trying to restore my original main box, since I'm running 6.1, packages are now available. A few days ago I began portupgradingg stuff. kde-lite and gnome2-lite among them. Turns out that several packages were 'not available' and my build-state was/is askew. I've gone back to compiling everything from src. I tried building only just the missing packages, but got errs and the portupgrade -fkPP was not happy. rsync capabilities and auto tar'ing of major config files is undergoing. (In fact, if 6.1 has a fatal trap, I'm prepared for it.) But having a strategy of upgrading ports on my other [5.x] servers, and on my new 6.1 would be *beyond* nice.

FreeBSD Slices on a PC Compatible Logical Device
Hi There, I partitioned my PC Compatible machine like this: /dev/hda1 - Normal partition /dev/hda2 - Normal partition /dev/hda3 - ~100 gigabyte logical partition There's no sectors left to make another normal partition. From what I can gather in the documentation, a FreeBSD slice (in this case one made for/by FreeBSD 6.1) needs to be in a normal partition. I've read the relevant parts of: the handbook, The Complete FreeBSD and I have also seen what the FreeBSD 6.1 installer would attempt to do. All of my reading seems to state that FreeBSD requires a normal partition to make its slice(s) in. That said, I seem to have a few options: 1. Somehow rearrange my partitions so that I can get a normal partition - GNU Parted would work except it doesn't seem to like XFS partitions 2. Reinstall my primary operating system (which happens to be Debian SID) and partition the disk such that I -can- put FreeBSD in an appropriate partition 3. Run FreeBSD under something like VMWare My other alternative would be to take a great leap and use FreeBSD exclusively and work out how to migrate my home data to FreeBSD. Therefore, my questions would be: 1. Is there a way (other than using VMWare) to get FreeBSD onto a partition inside the large logical partition I have? 2. If not, does anyone know of any free (as in beer) tools that would be able to move Linux partitions about with XFS filesystems? - I don't think GNU Parted likes XFS filesystems 3. Would VMWare be a solution to my dilemma? 4. Is there an option that I haven't considered [apart from panickin!]?

Actually, the stardard is created by the T13 Technical Committee
And my idle curiosity would like to know why Ian is interested in
such an antiquated topic? There is a size limit beyond which CHS
simply does not work. The setting of CHS is in practice utterly
arbitrary. For (many/most?) USB ram disk plugins the T13 standard
does not apply due to internal ram layout. And so forth.
(Certainly on the Amiga this CHS nonsense made no practical
difference except on floppy disks or ST-506 based disk drives. And
in playing with recovering a blown block zero on an Windows machine
(more than once) I learned that CHS is utterly arbitrary on Windows.
It is arbitrary with USB ram disk modulo the ram disk's internal
layout and spares setup. And since large disks for which CHS runs
out of size abound I imagine there is not a place in the 'n'x world
where CHS matters. So I am suspecting historical curiosity if
anything else. As for storing it - read block zero of the disk.
Be DAMN careful not to WRITE to block zero. And if you DO write
to block zero at about the time I quit doing such low level stuff
and moved to other things there were several SCSI hard disk
manufacturers using code that had a defect such that if you wrote
more than one disk block starting at block 0 the whole disk was
toast until you did a fresh low level format on it. One sincerely
hopes THAT defect is gone these days.)

One of the more annoying things I want to get away from in Microsoft Windows is focus-shifting: I'll be typing along in one place, then a webpage will finish loading, the window focus shifts, I keep typing and execute a bunch of commands in the new window ... In general I'd prefer a window manager that avoids these sorts of things (i.e., only does what I ask it to). In FVWM (under /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2-devel), you can set the window raising moving, focus changing, pointer moving poiclies to achieve what you want. You can even set it per window (based on its resource or title). You should install fvwm-themes too (in /usr/ports/x11-themes/fvwm-themes) if you don't want to directly edit the configuration files. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you done an install of FreeBSD 6.1 on a 1950/2950? Does the install kernel automatically recognize RAID arrays you have setup It finds the RAID controller fine. However, we're very concerned about the lack of a management CLI like ports/sysutils/megarc. It's the DRAC5 virtual USB keyboard that requires you sacrifice your moral integrity to obtain. A small price to pay, considering the client requires ActiveX and Java. Also I had some problems with if_bce.c rev1.7. Media state confusion. ~BAS with the PERC 5 bios? IOW, do I have to manually load some updated module outside of the default 6.1 install and config? thanks, ke han Yay! ~BAS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bge0: PHY read timed out
I have a machine that is acting up. It was doing this a couple weeks ago and I replaced the motherboard thinking that maybe the physical ethernet port was going bad (connector or chip). The new motherboard is starting to act up the same way after a week or two of running fine and I am wondering if something else might be the issue. After the uname I list the stuff from the syslog before it goes off the net and my auto rebooter power strip thinks it has crashed and forces a reboot (which I have now turned off so I can go in and look more next time it happens). This did not happen for the last week or two and all of a sudden happened about 5 times today... # uname -a FreeBSD whitwell.shire.net 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #1: Fri May 19 01:50:39 MDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ WHITWELL i386 # Sep 9 20:49:02 whitwell kernel: bge0: PHY read timed out Sep 9 20:49:02 whitwell last message repeated 3 times Sep 9 20:49:02 whitwell kernel: bge0: link state changed to DOWN Sep 9 20:49:04 whitwell kernel: bge0: PHY read timed out What does this message mean?

I forgot to mention that the MB at issue is the Tyan S2850 single opteron MB. This particular server had its MB replaced a week or two ago for the same sort of issue on bge1 that got progressively worse and I eventually turned it off in the BIOS. Then a while later it started seeming to freeze up with this same issue as listed below and I replaced the MB, which is starting to show the same issue. I have a few other servers with the same MB and they have never had any issues.
