Dear Colin and others, Ah, I see what's going on now. You had FreeBSD Update installed from the ports tree, and then you upgraded the system to FreeBSD 6.2. Yes, that was it! As you say, FreeBSD Update is now part of the FreeBSD base system; so you can uninstall the port (pkg_delete freebsd-update-\*). Some people say that FBSD community is very hermetic and does not help people who have questions. I find it to be exactly the opposite.

Re: FreeBSD challenged by Internet
What I don't get is I see guys walking in dropping $1000 on associated Mac hardware crap ... The most expensive system around here is a Mac Sawtooth that cost $225 -- including a 17 monitor -- last September. The (Dell) FreeBSD box I'm using at the moment cost $10 at a flea market, ... This is a totally unfair comparison. They guy dropping $1K on a Mac is walking out with a machine that is fully configured and ready to run. As was the Sawtooth. Hmm - Mac Sawtooth to me is a circa 1999 Power Mac G4. I think we are talking about something different since you couldn't possibly be just buying used devices and -not- nuking and repaving.. or could you? The seller wiped the drives and reloaded the OS. When I turned it on, I got the new MacOS sequence -- or whatever it might officially be called -- just as if it had been brand-new from Apple. I suppose the seller figured that the $225 he charged was sufficient to cover both the value of the hardware and his time reinitializing it. When you get an old clunker by the time you tally up the time you have spent on getting it ready to run, your at the same amount. ... Skilled UNIX tech time is at min $95 an hour. Your talking a min of 4 hours to get a Goodwill find up and going on FreeBSD by the time you work out the quirks, assuming that the ram in it doesen't have a flaw and the disk is good, if you have to replace that stuff you count the hours it takes to drive to Fry's and back, buy the disk, etc.. well your getting pretty close to that $1K in my book. It took me *zero* more time to get this box (Dell #1) ready for FreeBSD than if it had come direct from Dell with Windoze preloaded. Not fair - you aren't including the time spent preloading FreeBSD. Totally fair, if the goal is to end up with a FreeBSD system. The entire point is of the labor to get it to where you can start the userland configuration. Not to get it to where you can insert the operating system install CD and boot it. When you buy them new, the windows is already loaded and ready to start the userland configuration (which in my experience mainly consists of uninstalling all the trialware and crap on them) Yeah, if you want a !!@@##$$ Windoze box, but AFAIK you can't go out and buy a box with FreeBSD preloaded and ready for userland configuration (and kernel hacking :) Linux, maybe, but not any of the *BSD. It takes *zero* longer to wipe the existing Windoze off a pre-owned box than to wipe the preloaded Windoze off a new Dell/Compaq/whatever. The point being that your bashing of an old clunker above just doesn't hold water. [re Comcast] They claim they are faster, but since I seldom see anywhere near rated speed on DSL I don't think the DSL line is the limiting factor. Given that, I would not expect cable to be any faster *in practice* than DSL ... I don't care for their TOS either -- as I understand it, I can't even leave an SSH port open to enable me to log in from the office because that would be considered running a server. Correct, they block all incoming ports for well known services. Obviously, people can and do run servers on ports above 1024. If so, they are violating the TOS as I understand it -- and you as an ISP employee could never countenance that :) The language was something along the lines of I agree not to run a server of any kind ... not I agree not to run servers on well-known ports or I agree not to make servers available to the public. What do you mean you seldom see rated speed on your DSL line? Are you talking from world to you, or are you talking from ISP to you? World, of course. DSL is a dedicated 2.5 fire hose to the ISP. Cable is a shared 5 supply line. When the source is a garden hose, or there is enough congestion that the path from the source to my ISP is effectively a booster line, the capacity from ISP to me doesn't affect matters very much at all. Anyway, I'm comparing the wire charges, not the ISP service ... as of when I looked into it -- Verizon was charging something like $5 or $10 *more* for the wire connection to a 3rd party ISP than for the equivalent connection to Verizon Online, and effectively throwing in the ISP service for free. Right, as I said, this is when the ISP sells DSL service over Verizon via retail. Not wholesale. You only talked to the ones at the time that were selling retail. When I checked, I looked at everyone I could find via Google. I think there was one quoting a package price that was competitive with Verizon's, and that one was out due to a co-worker's very bad past experience with them. Some didn't mention pricing at all, and they didn't get a second look. The rest quoted separately the wire charge to Verizon, and their own ISP charge, and all those wire charges were the same (and higher than Verizon's package price). Maybe *no one* had a wholesale deal then. ... most DSL ISPs in

FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on Dell Optiplex 210L
Hi, i am having a rather peculiar problem with Dell Optiplex 210L. I have been trying to install FreeBSD 6.2-Release on this hardware with no success...i have also tried 6.1 release, as well as 6.0 release but still get the same error, at the same point. i attempted with a boot only CD for 6.1-Release as well. it boots well, but gets to a point and logs: usb1: Host controller halter uhub1: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 1 panic: usbd_transfer: not done and reboots... if i remove the USB keyboard, all above versions of FreeBSD boot, but when i plug the keyboard back in, its not functional. i managed to get it to boot once with the keyboard plugged in, but loose it after it gets to the sysinstall part. I disabled the front USB ports and got no difference, i disabled the USB controller from BIOS, but of course that leaves me with no USB functionality on the system. any one come across this? i ruled out a problem with FreeBSD and USB functionality because i installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on to a Dell PowerEdge 1950 and it worked welltried all other 6.x that i have and they worked well too!

There are really countless possibilities, depends on what you are looking for. I've been using rdesktop to connect to Windows 2000 server/XP/2003 machines. Works really fine. KDE has a frontend for it called krdc. What WM you use should not matter much in any case, since you'll get a window with the whole remote screen in it. I've used VNC in the past to connect to older Windows machines, but it's a lot slower. Again kdrc can be used as a frontend to it, and again WM should not matter. Be aware that what you are doing will display on the remote machine's physical screen (can be good, can be bad). It's also possible to run a VNC server on UNIX/Linux/FreeBSD/..., but I never tested this. I prefer to user ssh with X11 forwarding for that; works like a charm when on a local network. Fine, but obviously slower when used remotely. Every single application will have its windows on your screen, mixed with local applications, to the point you can hardly tell the difference. I sometimes used to log to a Digital Alpha box using XDM. Quite slow at the time (pre ADSL) and no encryption (i.e. very poor security); I din't manage that box, so I didn't investigate wether that could be solved. KDE has KDM, Gnome has GDM, which are all (compatible, I believe) alternatives to XDM. They could in some rare cases be an alternative to using a remote shell with direct X11 connections. IIRC KDE has some sort of remote desktop server built in, but I never checked this out. I guess there are other ways too... bye av. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

nfs mount rw

compiling postgresql with tsearch2
Hi, I am looking for a postgresql installation with the tsearch2 module. I require the tsearch2 module for mediawiki. When I install the mediawiki, it tells me my postgresql server does not have the tsearch2 module loaded. I installed postgresql 8.1-server from the ports. The tsearch2 code is available in one of its subdirectories, but I don't know how I can get that compiled as a module. I am new to FreeBSD, and thus new to the ports, so not having to ./configure --myoptions is new to me. Sofar I like it though. So, should I compile it afterwards or should I change something in some configure file?

Line-spacing and leading in X
This question drew exactly zero responses on another forum, so I try the experts here: By using Firefox and Thunderbird on both Windows and FreeBSD I have noticed that line-spacing is slightly denser on Windows. Lines are one or two pixels taller on FreeBSD, which probably means that leading is included. Now, leading as part of line-spacing can be turned on and off in X by setting minspace to false or true, respectively. This can be done in ~/.fonts.conf or by including minspace in commands like this one: xterm -fa monospace-11:minspace=true My problem is, this does not work. Initially, I suspected that GTK might have something to with it. However, when I installed 6.2-RELEASE - which I did from scratch - I took care to run the test above with only base and X, and it still did not work. Whatever the reason, Xorg itself seems to be responsible. Anyone know more about this? And, whether in X or GTK, is there a way to control line-spacing? It looks like Gnome adjusts some parameter that has to do with the vertical spacing of icons (in the folder and thread panes of Thunderbird.) I suppose this and other parameters could be adjusted in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 if only I knew what they are called. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are really countless possibilities, depends on what you are looking for. I've been using rdesktop to connect to Windows 2000 server/XP/2003 machines. Works really fine. KDE has a frontend for it called krdc. What WM you use should not matter much in any case, since you'll get a window with the whole remote screen in it. I've used VNC in the past to connect to older Windows machines, but it's a lot slower. Again kdrc can be used as a frontend to it, and again WM should not matter. Be aware that what you are doing will display on the remote machine's physical screen (can be good, can be bad). It's also possible to run a VNC server on UNIX/Linux/FreeBSD/..., but I never tested this. I prefer to user ssh with X11 forwarding for that; works like a charm when on a local network. Fine, but obviously slower when used remotely. Every single application will have its windows on your screen, mixed with local applications, to the point you can hardly tell the difference. I sometimes used to log to a Digital Alpha box using XDM. Quite slow at the time (pre ADSL) and no encryption (i.e. very poor security); I din't manage that box, so I didn't investigate wether that could be solved. KDE has KDM, Gnome has GDM, which are all (compatible, I believe) alternatives to XDM. They could in some rare cases be an alternative to using a remote shell with direct X11 connections. IIRC KDE has some sort of remote desktop server built in, but I never checked this out.

Qlogic QMH2462 Fibre Channel on HP Blade Servers

I also tried stopping at the boot loader and manually loading /boot/kernel/isp.ko, but the fibre channel still doesn't work. Because of the way the blades are managed, I can't capture the device info at boot time. However, they are seen as serial fibre channel devices by pci. Is there a patch for isp forthcoming?

Upgrading from 4 to 6
With the EOL of FreeBSD 4.X coming close, I'm in the process of upgrading to 6.2. According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html#UPGRADE Probably the most straightforward approach is that of ``backup everything, reformat, reinstall, and restore user data''. However, things are not that simple, because a system typically has many configured files, other than user data. I'm currently setting up a new 6.2 system on a VMWare host trying to mirror the existing system. After a clean installation of 6.2, I also installed ports and some CPAN modules. I then configured the apache configuration files, the sendmail local host file, the named masters and configuration file, /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/rc.conf, and the imap certificates. Just before the switchoover, I'll also also need to copy the users parts of /etc/passwd* and /etc/group, the mail aliases, the httpd logs, the user mailboxes in /var/mail, and, of course, /home. However, I have an uneasy feeling I may miss copying/adjusting some files. Although I've documented the changes I made to the original system from 2002 onward, the documentation is a 1000-line file and I can't be sure it is 100% complete or that I will spot all required changes. Is there a checklist or a procedure for restoring a 4.X system configuration to a system running 6.X? Am I missing any obvious files or directories I should copy over?

I see you are trying . You still may want to look into a default policy of accept for IPFW, this way its a non issue. Three things to remember when modifying ipfw rules remotely: 1) Make sure that you have a way to recover when you lock yourself out. Once you get the hang of it this doesn't happen very often, but it can definitely happen. 2) Put whatever rules you need to access your session at the top of your ruleset. (e.g. allow tcp from any to me 22 and allow tcp from me 22 to any) 3) Make sure to use nohup at the beginning of your reload command(s). It's helpful to make a script that flushes and reloads the firewall so all you have to do is nohup reload.sh. If you use screen or the like you can get the same result. The point is to keep the system from hanging up on you and interrupting your session while you're momentarily not allowed in. Changing the default to accept would alleviate the need for some or all of the above, but I've never thought that to be a good approach in situations where I actually want a firewall.

Re: Problem with ipfw flush
In trying to tweak my firewall setup I'm using a file called
/etc/ipfw.rules
However, it seems even though I copy my rules perfectly to that file,
the system freezes up and locks me out when I do:
ipfw -f flush; ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules
I've also tried doing it as
ipfw -f flush ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules
But to no avail.
Firewall script is a common shell script. You don't need to run 'ipfw
script'.
Flushing the rules is usually done by script itself.
For example:
#!/bin/sh
ipfw=/sbin/ipfw
${ipfw} -f flush
${ipfw} rule
${ipfw} rule
${ipfw} rule
...
This file should be executable (chmod +x). You can also put any non-ipfw
additional commands in this file if you want.
Try to make such script, execute it and write again about the results.

FreeBSD 6.2 + xinetd + amanda problem
While building out a couple new servers FreeBSD 6.2 was released. Since these boxes were not quite ready to be put into production we took the opportunity to upgrade these boxes from 6.1 to 6.2 following the instructions from the UPDATING file in src as usual. Initially everything seemed fine, but then we noticed that our previously working amanda backups started to fail. We install amanda from source and run it from xinetd, which we install from ports. Initially I figured amanda just needed to be recompiled, but the new install was failing as well. Specifically amcheck from the amanda server was reporting that the client self check was timing out. (A common and usually easily fixed issue.) During the troubleshooting I noticed that xinetd was reporting the following errors in /var/log/messages. Jan 24 14:36:34 hostname xinetd[44463]: fcntl( 0, clear close-on-exec ) failed: Bad file descriptor (errno = 9) Jan 24 14:36:34 hostname xinetd[44463]: dup2( 0, 0 ) failed: Bad file descriptor (errno = 9) After these errors finished the amanda server would report the selfcheck request timed out and suggest the host was down. Normally when this runs the amanda client creates a /var/tmp/amanda directory on the server being backed up, but after the selfcheck fails the directory has not been created. This seems to imply that amanda is never actually starting. This lead me to believe that there was something wrong with xinetd and not amanda so I disabled amanda from the xinetd config and added it to plain old inetd and fired it up. With amanda running from inetd the selfcheck would complete properly and the /var/tmp/amanda would be created with the proper files. The strange thing I have two other services running from xinetd that /are/ working just fine, so xinetd itself seems to be at least partially ok. After re-installing xinetd about a dozen times with variations in the config options and from both ports and source I'm still getting the same errors and it's really eating my lunch. I am able to confirm that the amanda and xinetd configs were working under 6.1 because we have backups of these machines. Also, this combination of services are running just fine on other servers. Just to be sure though I reinstalled amanda and xinetd on one of my 6.1 boxes from the same source that I'm having trouble with on 6.2 and everything works fine on 6.1. It seems very odd, but there does seem to be some strange subtle issue or bug with FreeBSD 6.2 as it relates to the combination of amanda and xinetd. Has anyone else seen anything even remotely similar with FreeBSD 6.2? Of course I could just run amanda from inetd, but that loses some security I would much rather retain. I'm considering attempting to roll back to 6.1, but I'm afraid that will cause all sort of strange and unexpected results. Plus, I'll want to move to 6.2 at some point and might just need to solve this issue then. Thanks in advance for your time and I apologize if something similar has already been discussed and I somehow missed it in my troubleshooting and research.

Re: Problem with ipfw flush
On Wed, 24 Jan 2007, Kevin Kinsey wrote:
Dan Mahoney, System Admin wrote:
Hey all.
In trying to tweak my firewall setup I'm using a file called
/etc/ipfw.rules
However, it seems even though I copy my rules perfectly to that file, the
system freezes up and locks me out when I do:
/usr/share/examples/ipfw/change_rules.sh?
That is a very cool script, however, it appears as though it calls
firewall_script on line 131 with sh, not with ipfw.
nohup sh ${firewall_script} ${firewall_type}.new
Whereas, etc/rc.firewall calls ipfw on line 299 via the ipfw command:
${fwcmd} ${firewall_flags} ${firewall_type}
The difference is that the resulting rules file would not be parseable by
sh since the lines in the file would not contain the ipfw command but
only the arguments. As one's in examples and the other's in a live
startup script, I'd assume the latter to be the correct method.
That said, this still does not tell me why a subsequent flush-and-rerun
isn't working via ssh. It works totally fine via the command line, but
over ssh it gives:
Jan 24 19:10:55 ads-bsh-fwa4 sshd[845]: fatal: Write failed: Permission
denied on the console (but by that point my connection's already dropped).
However, this shouldn't actually stop an already-typed command, should it?
Additionally, it doesn't appear that /etc/rc.firewall has the smarts to do
this, as the stop command it lists only disables the kernel firewall
structure via sysctl, but does NOT flush the rules, pipes, counts, or the
like, so it's not a true restart. (the idea being that otherwise, every
rule will be added twice -- the flush is a necessary step there).
Even if I add the flush command directly to /etc/ipfw.rules, and run
ipfw -f /etc/ipfw.rules right from the command line, my connection gets
dropped and the rest of the commands do not run.
In experimenting a bit more, I've found that I can do:
nohup ipfw -f /etc/ipfw.rules
This allows the rest of the ipfw command to run, but the HUP-on-disconnect
still doesn't explain why the command doesn't even finish running.

If I understands rightly you need -q option. ipfw(8): -q While adding, zeroing, resetlogging or flushing, be quiet about actions (implies -f). This is useful for adjusting rules by exe- cuting multiple ipfw commands in a script (e.g., `sh /etc/rc.firewall'), or by processing a file of many ipfw ^ rules across a remote login session. It also stops a table add or delete from failing if the entry already exists or is not present. If a flush is performed in normal (verbose) mode (with the default kernel configuration), it prints a message. Because all rules are flushed, the message might not be delivered to the login session, causing the remote login session to be closed and the remainder of the ruleset to not be processed. Access to the console would then be required to recover. ^^ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeRADIUS failing to build the rlm_eap_tls modules
Hello, folks! (Thanks SO much David Wood! I owe you!) I already have the solution, as assisted by the port maintainer (David). However, I'm posting to this list to get the solution into the archives so that if anyone else runs into this situation, there IS something in the archives on it. Situation: I had a 5.1-RELEASE server that was upgraded to a 5.3-RELEASE, and then to 6.2-RELEASE this past weekend (and also used cvsup to update the ports collection). At that point, I tried installing a new port (not an upgrade) of FreeRADIUS 1.1.4. The port successfully built, and started. But when I tried to configure and use EAP-TLS, I got errors about the rlm_eap_tls.so extension not being found. I rebuilt the port by patching the source by hand, and running the configure line from the config.log file. In the process of the ./configure script, there were many lines such as : configure: WARNING: silently not building rlm_eap_peap. configure: WARNING: FAILURE: rlm_eap_peap requires: OpenSSL. and configure: WARNING: silently not building rlm_eap_tls. configure: WARNING: FAILURE: rlm_eap_tls requires: OpenSSL. That obviously is going to not compile the extensions that I needed. As per the maintainer's suggestion, I ran a portsnap, which brought the port revision to 1.1.4_1 for FreeRADIUS. This exhibited the same situation. Solution: I ended up removing the openssl-0.9.7d package (I don't know if it was from the 5.1 or 5.3 systems as a carry over), and installing the security/openssl port. At that point, the FreeRADIUS package built perfectly fine. Notes: If anyone finds that the rlm_eap_?tls or rlm_eap_peap modules are not building, make sure your OpenSSL port is up-to-date!

a new line absolutly nothing.
in the Ghostscript port directory? It should look like this:
happy-idiot-talk:...ports/print/ghostscript-afpl:% make -V REINPLACE_CMD
/usr/bin/sed -i.bak
OK. That's what is causing the problems for you. The definition of
REINPLACE_CMD should come from /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk around
lines 2084--2087:
# Macro for doing in-place file editing using regexps
REINPLACE_ARGS?=-i.bak
REINPLACE_CMD?= ${SED} ${REINPLACE_ARGS}
Either you haven't got an up to date copy of the /usr/ports/Mk stuff
or you are somehow overriding REINPLACE_CMD elsewhere, perhaps in
/etc/make.conf.
The current version number of bsd.port.mk is
$FreeBSD: ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk,v 1.545 2007/01/08 00:00:33 pav Exp $
but REINPLACE_CMD hasn't been modified for quite some time -- you'ld need
a ports tree that was years out of date not to have it.
Cheers,
Matthew

lua ports install
Hi,all When I run 'make install' to install the lua ports, I got the following error message: cd: can't cd to src But the src directory is there, I can cd to it by typing ' cd src' at the BASH command line. Then, I download the lua source and try to run 'make bsd', the error is same. I want to know weather FreeBSD refuse cd command in a Makefile ? Can anybody explains for me? Thank you. -- WenGe Wang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the bsd i'm trying to compile the gs on is 4.10.
here is what i have in bsd.port.mk
# Special macro for doing in-place file editing using regexps
.if defined(USE_REINPLACE)
REINPLACE_ARGS?=-i.bak
.if ${OSVERSION} 460101 || ( ${OSVERSION} = 50 ${OSVERSION}
500036 )
PATCH_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/bin/sed_inplace:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/sed_inplace
REINPLACE_CMD?= ${LOCALBASE}/bin/sed_inplace ${REINPLACE_ARGS}
.else
REINPLACE_CMD?= ${SED} ${REINPLACE_ARGS}
.endif
.endif
sed_inplace is in th eports and installed it myself but that didnt make
any difference...
