BSDStats Report for December 1st, 2006

2006-12-03 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


The following numbers reflect those systems that reported in on the 1st day of 
the month of December, compared against the 1st day of the previous month. 
Since the point of this is to be run monthly, out of periodic monthly, the 1st 
of the month is when all hosts should be 'renewing' their information ... and 
this report is only the FreeBSD hosts:

Numbers are up from November, which is what we hope for ... not drastically, 
but 7.5% isn't shabby either:

  Last MonthThis Month  % Change
Total Systems   2085  2254 7.50%

For those wishing to see more formal stats, or more detail, please check out 
http://www.bsdstats.org ... we've recently added on a Ports Report, that is 
present in v5.0 available in /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats ...

Thank you to all that are currently participating ... hopefully next month we 
can see as much growth as we did this one (although we know of a site in 
Australia that is supposedly about to add 800+ hosts, so we should see that 
easily) ...

Re: acpi and boot problem

2006-12-03 Thread leo fante

 From a quick look at /boot/beastie.4th, I think that setting acpi_load

in your loader.conf will do the job.

also it is written in loader.help but I've already tried and it doesn't work.

thanks anyway for the advice

I personally think that having a dedicated box in disk-less configuration

Alexander, when you say disk-less configuration, are you referring to 
booting from a network image/server?  That's an interesting idea.  I'm 
fairly new to FreeBSD development also, and prefer the speed of a dedicated 
box, but recently suffered my first corrupted beyond repair system.


This is exactly the setup I use also.  Most typically, the setup involves a 
central development server running -STABLE, with a private network link to a 
series of crash boxes.  The development server NFS exports a file system to 
use as an NFS root and for file sharing, as well as running tftp and dhcp 
servers.  The test boxes use PXE to boot fom the central server.  Each test 
system has its own exported root, so I can use individual loader.conf's to 
tell test systems to boot off NFS, boot off local disks, etc.  I always load 
the kernel over NFS using pxeboot, regardless of whether I boot boxes with a 
local root.


You get some very nice effects -- you can easily move boxes between FreeBSD 
versions by switching out root file system symlinks, you can be building the 
next kernel while the previous one dumps core, etc.

Hello folks.

I'v set up gdm-autologin at /etc/pam.d/ and done everything as told in faq

Routing Issue?

2006-12-03 Thread Yousef Adnan Raffah
Hello Everyone,

I have a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE box that has two network cards (Dual
Homed?). Each card is on a different network, as following
(from /etc/rc.conf):

ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.20.36 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.210.6 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.210.1
route_servers=-net 192.168.2.0 192.168.20.1
static_routes=net1 net2
route_net1=-net 172.20.68.0 192.168.20.1 255.255.254.0
route_net2=-net 192.168.2.0 192.168.20.1

The fxp0 is connected to the outside world while the rl0 is connected to
the internal networks. I noticed whenever I ssh or try to telnet to port
25 on this box from 192.168.2.x for example, it delays the response by
something like 10 seconds, I even have a tcpdump of that!

Can someone explain what is wrong with my setup? Should I have routed
running? (I personally don't feel it is needed)

Thanks in advance for your help and guidance.

P.S. I got the above setup based on my understanding of the handbook, so
forgive me if I didn't understand it correctly :)

Please don't top post. If you don't know what that means, Google for it.

Now, do you have the following:

1)  /etc/rc.conf
2)  [...]
3)  apache22_enable=YES

This is assuming apache22 is installed. As you were previously
instructed, go to the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory and check out the
apache* module for the correct version.

When you reboot the system, there is a print out of apache doing a
sanity check. Apparently it is failing. Capture that message and print it
here.

You can also try this as root:

httpd -k  -E {path-2-file} start

Substitute the {path-2-file} for the actual path and file you want to
use to store the debug output.

That should output any error messages to the console.

Check the /var/log/httpd-error.log for any messages as well as the
/var/log/messages file. Post them here also.

	I believe the actual fault is that you don't understand how networks 
are done, based on the /etc/rc.conf entries you've listed above.
	I suggest that you pick up Computer Networks: A System Approach by 
Peterson and Davie to pick up a basic idea of how networking and routing 
works, and maybe consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network 
as a basis for planning out how things will be done, in particular with 
network addresses.
	Providing netstat -nr output would be beneficial as well when 
troubleshooting issues with routing, as well as any firewall rules you 
have in place.

Re: VoIP behind NAT and FreeBSD

Marwan Sultan wrote:

First thanks for you all, for the cooperating,

 My setup is as follow,

 Router - vr0 FreeBSD fxp0 - Switch - Clients
 Two NICs attached,
  vr0 connected to the router (internet interface) has the static 
192.168.0.2
  fxp0 connected to the Switch connected to clients acting as DHCP 
192.168.182.1

  and clients are assigned 192.168.182.* ofcourse..

  kernel as you know configured for ipfw and NAT
  chillispot installed, and controlling the fxp0 device thro the DHCP
  assigning for clients the IPs. however chillispot is not an issue.

  This is the configuration,
  I think chillispot using pf rules. once a user will sign in, all 
blocks will be remmoved.

  just for the info,


Hi Marwan,
I have never used ipfw before, so I suggest to do a quick check what the
NAT type is. Last time I checked, there was a simple client in the 
vovidia stun implementation. They also run a public server for testing.


If your NAT type is not symmetric NAT, you can use STUN (you will need
2 ip addresses on the internet side of your gateway for STUN to work).

If your NAT type is symmetric NAT, I suggest to look at UPNP. Most 
clients support it.
If UPNP is not an options, I guess proxying the media streams, or 
rewriting the signaling is your only options left.

Ugh.  OK, here's the problem: the Zope port (un?)intentionally screws up the

of every file under /usr/local/www/Zope, including those on files that Zope 
actually *needs* to be able to write to.  Run this:

I have some diskless workstations running FreeBSD. Sure users are not

a weekend or a holiday). Whould stats from those workstations be

Re: FreeBSD Schwag

2006-12-03 Thread David King

Hello All,
I have been to the usual suspects (freebsdmall.com etc) looking for  
polos

with the new freebsd logo. Where can I get schwag with the new logo?


I just ordered a few from http://bsdmall.com/

When I say just, I mean that I ordered them four months ago and  
they just got to me yesterday. BSDMall.com promised me that they have  
new procedures in place (as of this week) that ensure that it will  
never take longer than two weeks in the future, but it did take a  
really long time to get my shirts to me.


That said, the shirts did make it to me,, and they are quality, and  
they do offer them with the new logo.

Many ports fail to install for this Missing pkg-descr reason.

Openwebmail Zlib::compress

I've recently updated my ports, and openwebmail is no longer working, giving me 
the following error...

Undefined subroutine Compress::Zlib::memGzip called at

  For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), giving this 
error message and the time and date of the error. 
   
  I've looked on freebsd.org at the ports and note that note that within the 
last 7 hours there has been an update to correct the path to Compress::Zlib.pm 
after recent p5-Compress-Zlib update.
   
  Is this still a problem with the port or do I have to alter my configuration 
somehow. Im running a standard openwebmail with no changes.

Changing password for GELI encrypted diskpartitions

2006-12-03 Thread Erik Norgaard

Hi:

The man page doesn't seem to say anything about this: How do you change 
the pass phrase for an encrypted partition (geli)?


(I found that on boot the password must be entered with US keyboard 
layout and suddenly I couldn't figure out how to type it. Problem is 
solved, no data lost I just recreated the partition. Yet, it would be 
nice to know).


Secondly: Is the passphrase protecting the key file or the partition 
itself? (just for curriosity).


Thanks, Erik

Good question ... not useless, but not sure how (and/or if) it would work ...

the script creates a /var/db/bsdstats file that contains the KEY/TOKEN that is 
used to talk to the server, which is used on subsequent reports so that it 
doesn't get reported as a 'new host', but just updates the old data ...

If its diskless, will each reboot end up reporting as a whole new host each 
time, or is there some way of saving that /var/db/bsdstats across reboots?

From a cursory scan, it would appear that the passphrase

protects the key file (which then protects the partition?), and
that the passphrase is changed via delkey  setkey.  Hopefully
someone more knowledgeable can shed some more light.

The ARP table is a cache of known ARP-IP addresses. If there are no
addresses in the ARP table then the system will send out an ARP
broadcast to discover the ARP address that belongs to the IP address.
Of course only the Ethernet hosts on your local network will be in
your ARP table.

umass mount woes

2006-12-03 Thread Neil Short
I got a new whiz-bang mp3 play from SanDisk. I went
with SanDisk because they have always worked so well
with non-windows for me.

Anyway, I'm having a bit of a problem mounting it.
Other umass devices work fine on my system. Any help
will be appreciated. The device is a Sansa c240. as a
usb device, it doesn't default to umass behavior; but
it can be set to behave that way. I have set the
device USB mode to MSC mode.

Some sample system behavior:

Ok, let's only our servers do the reporting.

'k, I'm clueless on diskless, so this may or may not be doable ... but would it 
be possible to cp the bsdstats file from the 'disk mount server' to 
/var/db/bsdstats on reboot?

Say, something scripted like:

if [ ! -f /var/db/bsdstats ]; then
  if [ -f remotemount/bsdstats.`hostname` ]; then
 cp remotemount/bsdstats.`hostname` /var/db/bsdstats
  else
 run 300.statistics
 cp /var/db/bsdstats remotemount/bsdstats.`hostname`
  fi
fi

Add something like that (real code at least) to the init/rc file used on the 
diskless station, to be run after all mounts are up?

BSDStats Report for December 1st, 2006

2006-12-03 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


The following numbers reflect the change in reporting numbers between October 
and November 2006.  These include both those that reported *on* the 1st of the 
month, as well as those changes over the course of the month.

Since the point of this is to be run monthly, out of periodic monthly, the 1st
of the month is when all hosts should be 'renewing' their information.  As 
such, we tend to be more focused on the 39% increase in recurring monthly 
reports

OctNov % Chg

   DragonFly 13 11  -18%
137 18 -661%


 FreeBSD660   2085   68%
   1976   2659   25%


GNU/kFreeBSD 33  3-1000%

 90 51  -76%

 Overall   1407   2326   39%
   8040   3942 -103%

The first row for each is the # that reported on the 1st of each month ... in 
theory, all hosts should be renewing their report on that date.

The second row represents total # of hosts that have reported on that month.

A complete comparison, including architecture and releases, can be found at:

  http://www.bsdstats.org/report.php?lastmonthos=operating_system

where operating system is one of the above ...

For those wishing to see more formal stats, or more detail, please check out
http://www.bsdstats.org ...

Thank you to all that are currently participating ... and we look forward to 
seeing increases on subsequent months ...

Some players have a way to format the memory.  Check your owners manual.
Since the MSC was not the default...it could be it needs formating.

equivalent to date -a

2006-12-03 Thread perryh
Does FreeBSD have an equivalent to the Solaris date -a command,
i.e. a command-level interface to adjtime(2)?  I didn't see any
mention of a -a switch in the manpages for date(1) or gdate(1),
nor anything applicable in apropos, and a grep for adjtime in
likely-seeming parts of /usr/src didn't turn up anything either.

date sets with no key. The command 'date 8506131627'  sets the date to ``June

 The ARP table is a cache of known ARP-IP addresses. If there are no
 addresses in the ARP table then the system will send out an ARP
 broadcast to discover the ARP address that belongs to the IP address.
 Of course only the Ethernet hosts on your local network will be in
 your ARP table.

Thank you for response.

But why there is no MAC address of my ADSL modem connected via Ethernet?
Does my host send broadcast frames to communicate with modem everytime?

Furthermore, when I ping the modem, a proper entry appears in table:


$arp -a

$ping -c 1 rt # It is my modem
PING rt.my.domain (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=1.298 ms

--- rt.my.domain ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.298/1.298/1.298/0.000 ms

$arp -a
rt.my.domain (192.168.1.1) at 00:13:49:61:f9:b2 on rl0 [ethernet]


But no entry appears when I communicate trough the modem.

How can I watch what is going on?

Sierra Wireless MC5720 help

2006-12-03 Thread Andy Miller
I have a Sierra Wireless MC5720 that came with my Lenovo T60p laptop. The card
is fully activated and known to work in Linux and Windows. I am attempting to
get the card working in FreeBSD, but not having much luck. The umodem driver
claims to support the device, but as of yet I have not been able to get it to
probe the modem as anything other than ugen. I would appreciate any help anyone
can give me. Thanks.
