Re: Compatibility Between Releases Policy

I recall reading once upon a time that FreeBSD won't break compatibility for the duration of a major point release.

The reason I ask is that I am considering the wisdom of running portupgraed with each minor point release. I don't think you can rely on POLA for ports.

Removing removable ATA hard drives
I recently bought a drive caddy for an ATA hard drive. The unit is in two parts: a cassette, into which can be fitted a standard ATA hard drive, and a carrier permanently fitted into a standard drive bay. The carrier includes a power keyswitch for the drive bay. I installed it, brought the box (running 4.9) back up, and then switched on the power to the drive. FreeBSD didn't recognise the drive even after an atacontrol reinit of the channel. I then dropped the box and brought it back up with the keyswitch for the drive in the ON position. It now recognises the drive (could this be BIOS-related?). Is it safe to simply switch the power to the drive off using the keyswitch and then remove the cassette with the server running but the drive bay powered down? Do I need to do anything other than ensure that the drive is unmounted at the time? And having done that, if I replace the drive and then reapply power using the keyswitch, would I need to do anything to get FreeBSD to notice the return of the device? I'm reluctant to experiment any more than I have done: the server the drive bay has been fitted to is our live fileserver, with 120GB of user data on two drives on the other ATA channel.

As such the removability is key to its intended function. I can't keep dropping the main fileserver to fiddle with it, and the alternative in terms of testing is to set up another box with the particular 4.9-STABLE snapshot running on this server (to eliminate OS version-related variable effects).

You need to be in the wheel group to be able to SU to root, but that won't give you permission to run shutdown. Only root can do that, I believe. Hi All, I've just installed FreeBSD 6.1 and listed myself as a member of the wheel group during the add users portion of the installation. For some reason I have not put a finger on yet I cannot shutdown the system do not have permission to effect the command.

This is a FreeBSD mailing list. FreeBSD has nothing whatsoever to do with Redhat, I'm afraid. Having a wild guess, it looks like postfix is not actually running. Try ps augx | egrep postfix to see that there is actually something listening. If not, then check that you actually have startup scripts enabled for postfix.

After running the above ls should show the files as listed above.

Re: ipw(4) and iwi(4): Intel's Pro Wireless firmware licensing problems
On Oct 4, 2006, at 7:46 PM, Constantine A. Murenin wrote: My acquaintance with Unix started with FreeBSD, which I used for quite a while before discovering OpenBSD. I now mostly use OpenBSD, and I was wondering of how many FreeBSD users are aware about the licensing restrictions of Intel Pro Wireless family of wireless adapters? I would imagine that all FreeBSD users who are using the Intel Pro Wireless adaptors are familiar with the license, given that they have to agree to the license in order to get the adaptor working. Even someone like me who doesn't have one is aware of the license. Why are none of the manual pages of FreeBSD say anything about why Intel Wireless devices do not work by default? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipw http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi The manpages you've linked to explicitly state: This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. You need to obtain ipwcontrol(8) from the IPW web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware before ifconfig(8) will work. Is there some part of this which is unclear to you, Constantine? If you are curious as to why things are the way they are, I suggest that you check the problems that are described in the misc@openbsd.org mailing list, and contact Intel people and say what you think about their user-unfriendly policy in regards to Intel Pro Wireless firmwares, which are REQUIRED to be loaded from the OS before the device functions, i.e. the OS developers must be allowed to freely distribute the firmware in order for the devices to work out-of-the-box. There's no need to be curious about the matter; the Intel Pro Wireless adaptors, like many other brands of wireless adaptors, use a software-controlled radio which is capable of broadcasting at higher power levels and/or at frequencies outside of those allocated for 802.11 connectivity for specific regulatory domains. The US FCC, along with other regulatory agencies in Europe such as ETSI and elsewhere, require that end-users not have completely open access to these radios to prevent problems from deliberate misuse such as interference with other frequency bands. This isn't a matter of choice on Intel's part; if you want this situation to change, you're going to have to obtain changes in the radio-frequency laws and policies in the US and a number of other countries first. Again, is there some part of this that is unclear or which you fail to understand? For some recent information about Intel being an Open Source Fraud, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd- miscm=115960734026283w=2. The firmware license for these devices has never been submitted to the OSI board for approval as an Open Source license, and I have never seen Intel claim that this license is an Open Source license. It might suit OpenBSD's advocacy purposes to deliberately misrepresent Intel's position, but doing so is unfair and is not especially helpful to the FreeBSD community, which does have somewhat decent relations with vendors like Intel, Lucent, Aironet, Broadcomm, and so forth. As to the point raised above, the firmware license actually does permit an individual user, including an OS developer, to copy and redistribute the software to others, so long as the recepient agrees to the license terms: LICENSE. You may copy and use the Software, subject to these conditions: 1. This Software is licensed for use only in conjunction with Intel component products. Use of the Software in conjunction with non-Intel component products is not licensed hereunder. 2. You may not copy, modify, rent, sell, distribute or transfer any part of the Software except as provided in this Agreement, and you agree to prevent unauthorized copying of the Software. 3. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software. 4. You may not sublicense the Software. 5. The Software may contain the software or other property of third party suppliers. [ ... ] You may transfer the Software only if a copy of this license accompanies the Software and the recipient agrees to be fully bound by these terms. If a project such as OpenBSD wishes to redistribute the software, then it would probably be considered an Independent Software Vendor, and again the firmware license grants permission to redistribute the Intel Pro Wireless software, under the following terms: For OEMs, IHVs, and ISVs: LICENSE. This Software is licensed for use only in conjunction with Intel component products. Use of the Software in conjunction with non-Intel component products is not licensed hereunder. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Intel grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide, fully paid-up license under Intel's copyrights to: (i) copy the Software internally for your own development and maintenance purposes; (ii) copy and distribute the

PAE tuning
Hi all, I just built a new Intel Xeon FreeBSD 6.1 server with 14Gb of RAM. I started digging into PAE so that we could actually make use of the high memory in this box, and I've run into a rather vexing issue. The handbook says: Some system tunables determine memory resource usage by the amount of available physical memory. Such tunables can unnecessarily over-allocate due to the large memory nature of a PAE system. One such example is the kern.maxvnodes sysctl, which controls the maximum number of vnodes allowed in the kernel. It is advised to adjust this and other such tunables to a reasonable value. That's really good to know. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have written down WHICH tunables need to be adjusted besides the one mentioned above, nor is there any information on what reasonable value means! Can anyone point me at a resource for more information on this? Regards, Paul Lathrop signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: Removing removable ATA hard drives

As such the removability is key to its intended function. I can't keep dropping the main fileserver to fiddle with it, and the alternative in terms of testing is to set up another box with the particular 4.9-STABLE snapshot running on this server (to eliminate OS version-related variable effects). I looked into these options, and in the end opted for an external firewire hard drive for *ONE* of my offsite backup systems. I initially looked at USB, but found it to be somewhat flakey and didn't feel comfortable relying on it. I installed a firewire add-in card in the backup server, and am then using GELI to encrypt the data on the drive. I have a script which automates the attaching to the geli volume, mounting the filesystem, rsyncing from various sources, and then unmounting the filesystem... after which I can turn off the drive and take it offsite with me. This is on FreeBSD 6.1, so I don't know what, if any, firewire support is available on 4.x... ATA hotswap, from what I gather, is only possible with specific hardware support, and even then is not something that it was originally designed for (as far as I am aware)...

You need to obtain ipwcontrol(8) from the IPW web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware before ifconfig(8) will work. Is there some part of this which is unclear to you, Constantine? Yes, Chuck, some part is indeed unclear to me, precisely the part that explains why does one have to go into that much trouble to have a working system. If you are curious as to why things are the way they are, I suggest that you check the problems that are described in the misc@openbsd.org mailing list, and contact Intel people and say what you think about their user-unfriendly policy in regards to Intel Pro Wireless firmwares, which are REQUIRED to be loaded from the OS before the device functions, i.e. the OS developers must be allowed to freely distribute the firmware in order for the devices to work out-of-the-box. There's no need to be curious about the matter; the Intel Pro Wireless adaptors, like many other brands of wireless adaptors, use a software-controlled radio which is capable of broadcasting at higher power levels and/or at frequencies outside of those allocated for 802.11 connectivity for specific regulatory domains. The US FCC, along with other regulatory agencies in Europe such as ETSI and elsewhere, require that end-users not have completely open access to these radios to prevent problems from deliberate misuse such as interference with other frequency bands. Yes, regulatory bodies, of cause, table specific requirements that must be satisfied by systems that utilise RF, i.e. the manufacturer must make reasonable attempt to prevent users from using non-permitted frequencies. Not permitting the firmware to be redistributed has nothing to do with the FCC, however. This isn't a matter of choice on Intel's part; if you want this situation to change, you're going to have to obtain changes in the radio-frequency laws and policies in the US and a number of other countries first. No, firmware redistribution is ENTIRELY up to Intel. I want the firmware to be available under a BSD or ISC licence, just as with Ralink. Intel's firmware is already available, but under a different licence. Where does the FCC say that Intel must distribute firmware under a non-OSS-friendly licence? Again, is there some part of this that is unclear or which you fail to understand? Yes, precicely, I don't understand why you think FCC requires Intel to not release the firmware under a BSD-like licence. For some recent information about Intel being an Open Source Fraud, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd- miscm=115960734026283w=2. The firmware license for these devices has never been submitted to the OSI board for approval as an Open Source license, and I have never seen Intel claim that this license is an Open Source license. It might suit OpenBSD's advocacy purposes to deliberately misrepresent Intel's position, but doing so is unfair and is not especially helpful to the FreeBSD community, which does have somewhat decent relations with vendors like Intel, Lucent, Aironet, Broadcomm, and so forth. As to the point raised above, the firmware license actually does permit an individual user, including an OS developer, to copy and redistribute the software to others, so long as the recepient agrees to the license terms: LICENSE. You may copy and use the Software, subject to these conditions: 1. This Software is licensed for use only in conjunction with Intel component products. Use of the Software in conjunction with non-Intel component products is not licensed hereunder. So if I don't have an Intel Wireless in the system, is it still legal to have the firmware in my system files? 2. You may not copy, modify, rent, sell, distribute or transfer any part of the Software except as provided in this Agreement, and you agree to prevent unauthorized copying of the Software. 3. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software. What's exactly the purpose of this term, if reverse engineering is permitted under many jurisdictions? Is it just to scare potentional reverse-engineers? 4. You may not sublicense the Software. 5. The Software may contain the software or other property of third party suppliers. [ ... ] You may transfer the Software only if a copy of this license accompanies the Software and the recipient agrees to be fully bound by these terms.

Intel's firmware is already available, but under a different licence. Where does the FCC say that Intel must distribute firmware under a non-OSS-friendly licence? It doesn't. However, most licences allow derivative works to be created outside of Intel's control. If one of these derivative work allows the device to be used in a manner that violates FCC rules and regulations, Intel remains liable because they a) the provider of the hardware device in question and b) the provider of the initial software (that spawned the derivative work) There is nothing stopping Intel from releasing the firmware, except for the legal fear that the FCC will hold them accountable for illegal acts performed with their device.

Chuck, if the licence is as good as you make it sound, would you tell me why FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Debian GNU/Linux and a lot of other systems do not include the firmware in the base system? If you think downloading firmwares and accepting tonnes of EUAs is completely normal, then why is fxp(4) firmware/microcode/whatever it's called in fxp(4) is included in every OpenBSD and FreeBSD release? Because fxp is not a wireless device, and thus does not fall under the FCC's control for RADIO devices. (The normal Class A/B rules for device emissions still apply, but since the device is a hardwire device, there's nary a way to change the firmware to be in violation of these rules.) -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
