My vote is for Thinkpads. A quick search of the archives will bear out the popularity of that opinion. Be prepared first to investigate the hardware on any prospective model, second, evaluate the support with respect to each and every device, and finally, spend time and effort configuring things so things work "just right," for increasingly large values of right. I believe the investment in time and effort pays off in all sorts of ways, but chances are you'll end up with a system that you'll consider indispensible and one that you'll know better than your girlfriend, wife, or whatever.

Portupgrade libusb/doctool problem.

Best laptop for Freebsd
Hi Folks, Well I stayed off the beer and other sinful delights for a while (month or so P:) and have raked together enough cash to buy a new laptop. For those of you out there with experience what would you advise. The plan would be for ..unfortunately Windoze (vba stuff for work), Freebsd, and most likely fedora. I had no problems getting my wireless to work on the old one using the ndis stuff and freebsd beat the other two hands down for performance. Is there any one model or product that would be better for Freebsd 6 (as this is my day in day out operating system). Any experiences and or advise would be much appreciated. thanks Geoff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi Ne'Bahn, it is possible that there is something wrong with your hardware configuration, but I guess that your X configuration contains the wrong sort order of display resolutions. If you look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf you'll find a Section "screen" somewhere. This is were the resolutions are configured your laptop (and desktop) is capable to display.

Just change the order, so that the highest resolution is at the beginning, and you should be fine. Restart X after you edited the file, and you should have a resolution that suites your needs. You might want to look at the parameter "DefaultDepth", too. If it is set to 8 (8 bit = 256 colors) you might want to set it to an higher "Depth" value. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD in Hawaii
Aloha FreeBSD, I am one of the Training Managers at the Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training (PCATT), a non-credit, high-end IT certification training consortium of the University of Hawaii Community College System. We are headquartered at Honolulu Community College. At an AFCEA conference in Waikiki last week, we had a request for FreeBSD training. We currently do Red Hat and Linux training. Do you know of anyone in Hawaii using FreeBSD and is enough of an advocate we could invite him/her to offer a presentation on FreeBSD? The presentation would be free and open to the public. We think this would be a good way to gauge the interest in Hawaii and perhaps pursue offering FreeBSD training here at PCATT. Thanks.

I mean: I suppose I have to put on the CDROM an exact /etc/fstab for that installation?? Or this could be avoided? Also because I may need to edit the fstab for the machine without having to reburn the CD? so what? Or maybe the kernel can actually just be read from the CD and then everything else from the ( SAN | local ) drive? Am I missing something? Have a look at the following manpages: boot(8) loader(8) This explains the FreeBSD startup system. In short, you tell the loader which kernel to boot, and you tell the kernel where the root filesystem is. The root fileystem is considered to contain instructions on how to proceed from there. ~~ I agree with taking a look at the man pages, but I think what you are looking for is creating the actual CD image - what I have managed to do, using FreeSBIE 1.1 as a base, is to create my own image and burn it to disk. the following is the incantation:- mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -c boot/cat -J -r -ldots -l -L -o my.iso Note 1: cdboot is a file in the boot directory Note 2: fstab => /dev/acd0/cd9660ro00 You can change the entry in fstab to boot whatever partition you like, as long as it is / (I am not an expert, but it worked for me - I am still experimenting.)

Yup, great idea. The new patch [attached] permits you to set:

This could be done, but at the moment I rely on the checkyesno
subroutine in rc.subr, which only accepts [yes, true, on, 1] and [no,
false, off, 0] in any combination of upper and lower case.

Re: Need help...
Hi Ne'Bahn, it is possible that there is something wrong with your hardware configuration, but I guess that your X configuration contains the wrong sort order of display resolutions. If you look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf you'll find a Section "screen" somewhere. This is were the resolutions are configured your laptop (and desktop) is capable to display. Important for your situation are the Subsection "Display" lines, which look like this: SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection Now, in your case I guess that the line listing all the modes starts with the lowest resolution possible. Just change the order, so that the highest resolution is at the beginning, and you should be fine. Restart X after you edited the file, and you should have a resolution that suites your needs. You might want to look at the parameter "DefaultDepth", too. If it is set to 8 (8 bit = 256 colors) you might want to set it to an higher "Depth" value.

It's generally significantly less likely to even be available for use due to device sizes not dividing evenly into the block sizes used by the filesystem, etc. Depending on what type of device you actually pass to gmirror as a consumer (raw disk, slice, or partition), it should be possible to manually ensure that there are a couple unused sectors at the end.

OK, I see the warning in the gmirror(8) manpage that gmirror metadata overwrites the last sector of the provider. Is that sector more likely, or less likely, to be in use than any other sector on a non-full disk? If it's equally or less likely the risk is extremely small - which I know is no consolation when it happens! In this case, I'm doing something of a ``stunt upgrade'' anyway: I have two remote boxes to upgrade to 6.1, one of which is running 5.4-RELEASE and one 4.8-RELEASE. Both boxes have 80GB drives, and on my last flying visit I added to each box a blank 80GB drive and a null-modem serial link to a neighbouring ssh-accessible box. The plan is to ssh to the neighbour box, establish a serial console on the upgrade target, install 6.1 from scratch over the network on the blank drive and then make it the only drive in a gmirror. Once that's done, data can be migrated from the original drive, which can then be added to the mirror. I have successfully carried out the procedure on a box in my office (so that I could intervene when it all went horribly wrong, several times) and am in the process of documenting it: as I said earlier, I couldn't find an easy guide to all this anywhere - perhaps not surprising as it's an odd thing to want to do.

Re: Blank screen after using X
Hi Ian, thank you for your answer. I edited /etc/sysctl.conf and /boot/loader.conf, adding the parameter/values you've given me, and rebooted the machine afterwards, but it didn't change anything. As long as X is running, I can switch between the text consoles and X without any problem. But as soon as I quit X the screen wents black and is unusable until I do a cold boot. I can switch to a console and start X again, thou, but the text consoles remain unusable. Sorry for repeating the issue, but maybe I mislead you, because this is just one problem (at least as far as I can tell). Trying to update to a new BIOS version might a solution, I should check if there is anything newer available. I tried several configuration up to now, there are many location where you can download them. All of them had the same problem, so I'm not entirely convinced that this is an X configuration issue. But could you sent me your configuration, so I can give this a try? If it doesn't behave as my configuration does I might be able to locate the problem.

Do yourself a favor and create the mirror before you get started. To begin with you'll only add the new drive as a member, then once you've copied everything over you insert the old drive. It is possible to convert "regular" devices into gmirror members after they have data on them, but unless you're extremely careful there's a small risk of the gmirror metadata sector overlapping a data sector. > I'm also trying to do it remotely, with ssh access to the distant box and > one right next to it, and a null-modem cable between them to give me serial > console access during the upgrade.

In particular, make sure that whatever partitioning scheme you come up with using gmirror will boot. (I haven't had any problems with this, but it's a good anti-foot-shooting measuer) Also be very sure that the old drive is not smaller than the new drive. (If it is, then just shave some space off the device you're using to create the mirror on the new drive).

Unless something has changed very recently, most of the schedulers are considered "experimental" and have known bugs. The only one that I know is stable is SCHED_4BSD. Apparently, SCHED_ULE has some nice performance improvements when it's not causing panics. If you're not interested/capable in doing kernel debugging, you probably want to go with SCHED_4BSD. It would appear that some day SCHED_ULE will replace it, but not yet. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.

Many switches also contain routing as well nowdays. But, yes. In the case of how you describe it, there is no real reason to use more than one IP address on the machine running FreeBSD. The router/switch would sort that out and whichever part of your net was trying to get to it wouldn't matter. You just address the FreeBSD machine by hostname. The router/switch would just route the traffic to whatever address the machine has. Your router/switch becomes a NAT - providing it has the ability to be programmed that way. Otherwise, if it can't, it won't work anyway. Anyway, you really don't want to mix inside and outside traffic. You want to have your NAT system be the only one that knows about the inside addresses.The router will only be able to keep them separate if they are on separate wires. If they are both on the same wire, it won't matter what the router does.So, if the two networks are on different wires - which they must be - then you need two NICs. jerry > A > router would be able to distinguish and rout inside traffic inside and ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

OS-BS replacement
Hi all, In the /tools directory of all FreeBSD distribution there is an old program named OS-BS written by Thomas Wolfram. It is a multi-OS boot loader for MBR (there are two versions: osbs135.exe and osbsbeta.exe) It is rather old, works only under DOS, does not support 1024 cylinders boundary limitation, partitions hiding, etc.. Moreover os-bs has been evolved into commercial SystemSelector so it is no longer maintained by Thomas. However at the time being I continue the development of os-bs under the name "mbldr", see: http://mbldr.sourceforge.net/ It is under BSD license, has many cool features, ported under Linux, BSD and Windows, supports extended partitions, etc. I would like to suggest replacing os-bs with the mbldr at some point for FreeBSD distribution if it is acceptable. Could someone recommend me who I should contact (or what mailing list should I use) to discuss this opportunity?

Just include the FreeBSD copyright. Now, the ports are separate from FreeBSD as far as copyrights go. They are produced by other people and organizations who set their own copyright rules. Mostly they are the same as FreeBSD, but some have their own limitations or requirements. So, if you are including a port in your product, you should also check the copyright for the port.

Re: desktop for bsd
Hi Marshall, just like all the Linux distribution you're free to choose your own desktop. It's not like Windows or Mac OS, where the GUI is actually bound to the Operating System. FreeBSD is the base system which doesn't make any assumption of the GUI you'd like to use. So you can use KDE with FreeBSD, but you can use GNOME or XFCE, too. If you want to use XFCE, you should compile it using the ports system. There is a meta port in /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 that downloads and installs all xfce-packages. The rest depends on your configuration. If you use a Display manager (xdm, gdm), so that you have a graphical login after system startup, you need to configure a session. If you use the startx command you can edit ~/.xinitrc so that xfce is started. The file should contain something like exec xfce4-session HTH Christian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hiroshi! The BSD license offers you to modify source and sell your product as you like. You have to include the full COPYRIGHT accompaining that particular BSD, that's it. Of course, any donations made by you to FreeBSD are welcome, but not required :) Keep in mind that any third party packages (ports, packages, etc...) have their own license, so don't do that with just anything that installs on a BSD.

Re: Blocking SSH Brute-Force Attacks: What Am I Doing Wrong? (Solved!)
After instrumenting 'bruteblock' (and accidentally causing auth.log
to explode), I discovered that the ssh.conf file that ships with it won't
work on FreeBSD 6.1 (or at least my copy of it).
The shipped regexp looks for "illegal" users. But 'sshd' on FreeBSD
6.1 records login attempts of "invalid" users.
The patch appended below got it to work on my system.
My thanks to everyone who chimed in with suggestions. They were
