LoaderXpress tape drive

2007-04-04 Thread Chris Kottaridis
Well, I have had a Overland LoaderXpress DLT-1 that's been working fine
for many years. But, it seems the Benchmark DLT-1 tape drive in it has
finally given out.

Anyone have any ideas where one might get a refurbished or otherwise
working Benchmark DLT-1 tape drive that will fit into the Overland
LoaderXpress DLT-1 ?

Thanks

 I would like to setup a Raid 1

 Also are the any concise instruction on how to setup hardware raid 1? I 
 have searched the net

I have Intel D975XBX2 with two on-board SATA RAID controllers: one is Intel
Matrix and the other is Marvell storage. I have FreeBSD 6.2 with RAID-5
using Intel Matrix Storage. It seems to work fine.

When you set it up, you first have to create a RAID array. When your
machine boots, right after (or before?) you see the screen that takes you
to the BIOS configuration, you'll be prompted to press Ctrl-I (IIRC) and
you'll be taken to RAID controller configuration screen. It's really
straightforward how to create a new array.

Then, when you boot FreeBSD, you should look at dmesg output. Mine looks
like this:

ad4: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata2-master SATA150
ad6: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata3-master SATA150
ad8: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata4-master SATA150
ad10: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata5-master SATA150
ar0: 915729MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID5 (stripe 64 KB) status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY using ad4 at ata2-master
ar0: disk1 READY using ad8 at ata4-master
ar0: disk2 READY using ad6 at ata3-master
ar0: disk3 READY using ad10 at ata5-master

FreeBSD installer asked me what drive I wanted to install it to: ad4, ad6,
ad8, ad10, or ar0. Of course, I chose ar0.

(The second on-board RAID controller, Marvell 88SE6145, seems to be
unsupported under FreeBSD 6.2, unfortunately. It gave me quite some
trouble. But that's another topic.)

Re: ISO Image Size Increasing

2007-04-04 Thread Alexander Anderson
The image copied from the CD is approximately 234 MB in size, and the
image created by mkisofs is 664 MB.
 It sounds like you may be running into a hardlink issue with iso9660.

Yes, ISO-9660 file system does not assign the same inode to hard links.

I had to write a Perl script that finds identical files and links them
(see below).
Hope it helps.

===begin hardlink.pl===
#!/usr/bin/perl

# $Id: hardlink.pl,v 1.2 2007/03/29 01:20:53 alex Exp $

my %count;
my %files;

find({ wanted = \wanted, no_chdir = 1 }, @ARGV);

sub wanted {
next unless -f;
next if -l;

print $_\n;

my $md5 = `md5 -q $_`;  # shorter than Digest::MD5 (am I lazy)
chomp $md5;
$md5 =~ /^[0-9a-f]{32}$/ or die 'md5 failed';

$count{$md5}++;

Subject: Re: hard links in mounted cd9660 file system
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 13:31:42 GMT
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hmm, the problem is that there is no good way to know that two files
are hardlinks on a 9660 filesystem.  9660 doesn't have a concept of
inodes as is common in standard unix filesystems.  Instead, the
information about the file is stored in the directory entry.  This
means that the two directory entries pointing to the same data blocks
may in fact describe two different files (e.g. the may have different
owner or permission, or they may even differ in size!).

Currently, the inode number shown by 9660 is just the offset of the
directory entry of the file relative to the disk/partition, with the
special case for directories, where we use the start of the directory
itself, i.e. the offset of the '.' entry.  This way, it's quite easy
to determine the file attributes given the inode number.

That's not true. I have a 2.6 GHz Northwood, and it supports

chmod a-rwx folder to deny all access to everybody,
then chmod u+rwx folder and chown gooduser folder
to permit a good user (and only him) to access it.

For fine-tuned denials, I guess you should read about

FreeBSD is not exactly related to WinXP, so I doubt that someone on
this list is either capable or willing to answer your question. It
would be the best to you to go to some apropiate places (e.g. WinXP

Another option would be to remove access rights from others and make
sure that the owner and group of the directory in question is set to
something that excludes the user.
If you want to allow access to a directory to only one user, the
method described above is correct. But it doesn't work in case you
want to prevent just one user from accessing a directory, but allow
some others to do so.
In the latter case you could create a group, for example files, and
you could add all users that are allowed to access the directory to
this group. Then you chgrp the directory, do a chmod 750 on the
directory, and you're set.
chmod 750 actually prevents the group from writing to the directory,
so if you want all group members to be able to write to this
directory, use 770 instead.
For more details please read some basic Unix manual, or check the
manpages for pw, chmod, chown, chgrp...

as others have mentioned, this question has nothing to do with FreeBSD,

What is the default firewall setup in 6.2?

2007-04-04 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

My goal is to set up a Subversion (v1.4, running on Apache 2.2 and available
only through SSL) and SSH server, available to the world. I've managed to
make it work locally; i.e.,
# svn list 
https://localhost/svn/repos/repository_namehttps://localhost/svn/repos/repos_name
and
# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
work fine. However, I'm having problems accessing these from other hosts.

My machine is connected to the internet. I'm able to SSH to other machines,
and use the web. Therefore, I believe the problem is that the machine is
discarding packets. However, I can't find any record of the connection
attempts in /var/log (grepping for the host name or IP of the other machine
gives no results, and even ping doesn't work), and it seems that, according
to the FreeBSD handbook chapter 26, there is no firewall installed by
default.

Why would FreeBSD be dropping packets, without recording it, when there are
processes listening on the ports (see below), and no firewall?

# netstat -an | grep 22
gives (among other lines):
tcp4 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN

According to
tcpdump port 22
, the packets are arriving at my machine.

/etc/rc.conf contains the following:
hostname=[removed]
ifconfig_bge0=dhcp
keymap=us.dvorak
linux_enable=YES
sshd_enable=YES
usbd_enable=YES
apache2_enable=YES
network_interfaces=bge0

I haven't changed anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. It contains
firewall_enable=NO
, which should be enough to avoid having any firewall. In addition,
pf_enable=NO
and
ipfilter_enable=NO
are in the defaults, so I'm completely stumped as to what is blocking the
traffic. Is FreeBSD by default dropping any incoming connections (it should
be, but I can't find mention of it in the firewall chapter)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Can SSH clients on your local network connect to your system?

You say packets are arriving at your machine, can you elaborate on this 
further? Assuming a SYN packet arrives from a host, so you see a 
SYN+ACK go out, etc?

Actually, it turns out I was wrong - The packets I saw in tcpdump were just
the console updates from the server I was connected to, in order to connect
back to myself :) Also, the local network uses VPN and NAT, which is why an
ordinary connection doesn't work. That just leaves the mystery of why my
setup worked on SUSE. I'll be using my home PC as the server instead - Much
less hassle.

Thanks anyway!

Any Way to Plug This Hole in Local Sendmail Delivery?

2007-04-04 Thread Martin McCormick
First of all, I think sendmail is great, so this is a
minor issue.  The problem is that the spammers can cause local
delivery of their junk by using the name of an account on the
system.  As an example, I just received some junk that a human
being can instantly tell is bogus.  It's from 
line is the usual sort of bogus hotmail, or AOL or MSN, forgery
but then there is this line which is, I am sure, how it got in.

From: Weekly News [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Milter-sender used to catch these constantly, but that
filter is no longer available.  Is there anything else that is
useful, but not too disruptive that can either refuse delivery
or send it to spam to die?

I already run bogofilter which I trained with about
12,000 or more spam messages and which does a good to excellent
job of catching most of this, but messages that claim to be
local but aren't should be mechanically testable.

Thanks.

Assuming you dont mean actually generating the password maybe you need the
  -h fd
flag to pw
or more specificly (from the manpage)
 pw will prompt for the user's password if -h 0 is given,
 nominating stdin as the file descriptor on which to read
 the password.  Note that this password will be read only
 once and is intended for use by a script rather than for
 interactive use.

so something like
echo PASSWD | pw add user wibble -h 0
will create a user wibble with password of PASSWD

or
echo $PASSWORD | pw add user $USERNAME -h 0
setting $PASSWORD and $USERNAME as needed.

Network Filesystem for BSD / Linux environment

2007-04-04 Thread Tommy Scheunemann

Hello everyone,

I'm running 2 server, one with FreeBSD and one with Linux. Now I want  
to synchronize data between the 2 servers, over the internet so using  
NFS isn't a solution at all.
Are there other possible ways of doing it ? AFS still seems in a  
development state and Rsync over SSH might be another possible way of  
doing it - would be just good if everything runs in background without  
any interaction.


Thanks in advance for any help

If you want to transfer data just once you can even use scp -r,
should be fine. Or you use pipe, something like:

source-host~$ cd /source/path ; tar -cf - | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( cd
/path/to/destination ; tar -xf -)

If you did setup key based authentication you won't be asked for a password.

In case of a real sync that you want to do on a regular basis I
think rsync over ssh is the best choice. Rsync has some nice features
to just update what is needed. And again you can setup key based
authentication to allow a connection without having the need to enter
a password.

If you actually want to sync the data between 2 machines, NFS/AFS 
isn't really going to do anything for you.  It would just grant access 
to the information remotely.  If you truly want to sync the data, rsync 
over ssh is the way to go.  It's pretty easy to get it running in the 
background, just set up a cron job that runs at your desired interval 
(once a day, twice a day, every 5 minutes, etc.) to do the dirty work. 
That should sync you up without any interaction.

how to force ports to use OPENSSLBASE=/usr/local?

2007-04-04 Thread snowcrash+freebsd-questions

hi,

i've an install of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE.

base ssl is:

/usr/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004

i've installed openssl from ports,

`which openssl` version
OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

i'm trying to get a ports-build of openssh-portable to link the
ports-installed ssl, OpenSSL 0.9.8e.

i've addedto '/etc/make.conf':

+++ OPENSSLBASE=/usr/local

and, am (re)building with,

cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable
make deinstall rmconfig OPENSSLBASE=/usr/local reinstall clean

but, after build, i _still_ see the base-installed ssl used:

ldd /usr/local/bin/ssh | grep ssl
libssl.so.4 = /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 (0x283bb000)

what do i need to set/change for the ports' openssl to be used -- for
openssh and, eventually, all subsequent ports?

thanks!

newbie amd64 force 32bit nvidia-driver port

2007-04-04 Thread B. Cook

Hello all,

I'm trying out amd64 on this Dell M90, and it seems to be going great..

*except* the nvidia-drivers port won't compile on amd64.. so I took out 
the i386 entry in the Makefile and it gets to a part where its linking 
and gets this:


===  Building for nvidia-driver-1.0.9746
=== src (all)
ld  -d -warn-common -r -d -o nvidia.ko nv-kernel.o nvidia_ctl.o 
nvidia_dev.o nvidia_linux.o nvidia_os.o nvidia_os_pci.o 
nvidia_os_registry.o nvidia_pci.o nvidia_subr.o nvidia_sysctl.o nvidia_i2c.o
ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386-freebsd 
(nv-kernel.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (nvidia.ko) is not supported

*** Error code 1


so how do I get the nvidia driver to work on this shiny new M90.. If I 
can't get this to work.. the person I got the laptop from will be 
putting rhel 5 on it.. :(


I was thinking that I could force compile it for 32bit..

Is that even possible?

I believe what you are trying to do is impossible.  The nvidia driver 
does not work on amd64 arch of FreeBSD.  There are many threads on the 
topic which google will find for you.


The question really is, why are you installing the 64-bit version of 
FreeBSD?  If this is a desktop laptop with less that 4Gb of RAM which 
isn't going to run some huge database, then by all accounts the gain 
from running amd64 rather than i386 is minimal.  In addition to nvidia, 
I believe java won't work either (or didn't last time I checked).


i386 works just fine on 64-bit athlons.  This message is typed from one 
(not a laptop and thankfully not a Dell :-)).


You could try the nv driver from xorg, which, if it works (and it didn't 
for me) will provide enough functionality to run X.

 That's not true. I have a 2.6 GHz Northwood, and it supports 
 HyperThreading (however I'm not running FreeBSD on it, so I can't help 
 you with SMP).
 You can use the Intel Processor Spec Finder

The 'HTT' feature bit says the CPU can be queried about whether it

 Just via a simple portupgrade... doing a:

 portupgrade -f php5

 Does not correct this problem (although it does create a new

 Well, I'm not absolutely certain of anything.  I'd make sure that
 make config under /usr/ports/lang/php5 indicated Apache module
 was to be built, and do something more like -rR php5 instead of
 -f.  Did you add new extensions to php at the time of this
 build, also?

 ??,

 Kevin Kinsey

I did not manually add any extensions... In fact, this error persists
even with all of my extensions commented out in my extensions.ini
file. Could this be connected to the major gettext upgrade?


I'm doing a portupgrade -rRf php5 as we speak (this will take a good
while to complete on this slower computer).

FreeBSD is a volunteer project which doesn't have a marketing or sales team, 
but I suppose that the freebsd-advocacy mailing list is the closest thing to 
what you've asked for.

I'm running 2 server, one with FreeBSD and one with Linux. Now I want to

Are there other possible ways of doing it ? AFS still seems in a 
development state and Rsync over SSH might be another possible way of 
doing it - would be just good if everything runs in background without 
any interaction.


rsync+ssh via cron every night works OK, at least if file changes are only 
being made on one system and not in parallel on both machines.


If you want to do filesharing over the Internet, using a VPN such as OpenVPN 
with NFS or Samba works fine, too.  It's easier to get Samba to pay attention 
to only the VPN address if you want to improve security; with NFS, you pretty 
much have to set up a firewall to contain it.

Thanks for getting back to me -- its appreciated.

I had looked before posting -- but no messages from pop3 :-( -- nor any 
indication there was an attempt to connect.. do I need to change a config 
file somewhere?

 The problem could be that UW disables the LOGIN feature per default so
 only encrypted logins are accepted (should be Auth TLS in your clients).
 Another option is to use pop3s instead of pop3 - works fine with the
 UW daemons so far.

OK I'll try that and report back

Looks like you are getting a connection.  I don't use that imap for pop so 
I can't help much beyond this.  You could try using a different pop daemon. 
I would check the man page and see if you can run your daemon in the 
forground, not through inet and get debugging messages.

I use qpopper which is in /usr/ports/mail/qpopper.  You shouldn't use inet 
anymore, it is a security hole.  Instead run the daemons you need at 
bootup.  qpopper adds an rc script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d

 OK..thanks for the heads up about responding

 The problem isnt adding the useri ve done that..the problem is
 creating the password for the user as i tried to say in the first
email...

Assuming you dont mean actually generating the password maybe you need the
  -h fd
flag to pw
or more specificly (from the manpage)
pw will prompt for the user's password if -h 0 is given,
nominating stdin as the file descriptor on which to read
the password.  Note that this password will be read only
once and is intended for use by a script rather than for
interactive use.

so something like
echo PASSWD | pw add user wibble -h 0
will create a user wibble with password of PASSWD

or
echo $PASSWORD | pw add user $USERNAME -h 0
setting $PASSWORD and $USERNAME as needed.

For what it's worth, if you use cvsup then you can store your own ports 
safely under /usr/ports.  You can also store extra files (like extra 
patches, for example), though I'm not sure what would happen if that 
port got deleted.  Probably just your patch would remain.


I have no idea if csup is safe in this regard, and portsnap was 
definitely not safe, last I heard.


I'm sure you could easily concoct a solution where you kept new ports in 
a separate tree, and had something like a Makefile to make links into 
/usr/ports after each time you used say portsnap.  A symlink to a 
directory should work just as well as a real directory.  I find it 
easier to stick with cvsup.

Well, it is not a port as it should be. I have recently quit gentoo and still

that using ports the compilation has better chances to finish :-)

Once I get more used to preparing good ports, I will certainly submit them.

RE: Multiple routes to same destination?

2007-04-04 Thread Ian Lord
You are right, Zebra will keep only one route in freebsd routing table since
Freebsd cannot handle more.

At Least zebra will change that route in the routing table if it detects
some kind of network topology change (depending on the routing protocol)

Best I've been able to reach. I really don't know why freebsd still doesn’t
support that Linux and even windows supports that

I am using Zebra, but it will only keep one route to the same destination in
the routing table at any given time, even if there is more than one valid
path :( :(
I know that Linux has this built-in, and more searching of the 'Net after
posting my initial question revealed that multipath routing is in fact
something that many people have been asking for since FreeBSD 3.x.  I was
hoping it would have been built into FreeBSD 6 by now.

Hi,

this is not a scientific answer, but since no one 
else replied, here is what I found a while ago...

When I installed Freebsd 6, i did a lot of 
reseach/posting and found out that there is no 
way freebsd will handle multiple routes to the same destination
I was hoping to have two default routes for 
redundancy (and if possible, load balancing)

I never heard of a kernel patch, and if there was 
one, I wouldn't feel confident with it (just my opinion)

I then went with a routing package (there is 
zebra and quagga) which kinda did the trick. (I 
used quagga since I had some problem setting up zebra from the ports).

It works fine but adds a level of routing that 
could have been handled by the kernel I guess.

In this case you can just print to the printers IP address. 

What is running the firewall? The DSL modem?

 Their sales oriented operation is mostly take-away laptops, but they
 want the printing to come into the office during their absence but 

Unless the modem can do NAT and has a firewall, I'd definitely put a
server between the modem and the router. That way you can handle
printing with CUPS, firewall with pf, mail, backups etc.

Otherwise you'll have to tell the modem to do NAT, and let traffic from
the laptops through while blocking unwanted stuff. It depends on the
router if the built-in software is up to that, and if you trust it for that.

I didn't have any problems reading the config file myself.  All the

  greylist

The argument sets how much time milter-greylist(8) will want the
client to wait between the first attempt and the time the message
is accepted. The time is given in seconds, except if a unit is
given: m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days.  The greylist
keyword is equivalent to the -w option. Here is an example that
sets the delay to 45 minutes:

  greylist 45m


A 1 hour timeout could be too long for an impatient end-user, so I
have lowered that to 10 minutes.  Most external servers retry at 15 or
30-minute intervals.  I also set the autowhite value much higher than
the default of 3 days (2 weeks), so frequent sending machines never
leave the whilelist.

FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE install boot halts

2007-04-04 Thread Victor Engmark

Hi all,

I've downloaded and burned the boot CD for the i386 6.2-RELEASE. I've used
the CD to install a very well running system on my laptop, but it halts
during boot when I try to install with the same CD on my desktop PC. The
last line it outputs before halting is the following:
acd0: DVDR PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A/1.12 at ata1-master UDMA33

The install doesn't actually crash - I can still enable / disable Num Lock,
Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, and the Ctrl-Alt-Space shortcut works. It just
never seems to continue (unless I actually have to wait for several
minutes).

This drive is the only CD/DVD drive, and, hence, the one which the boot CD
is in. The drive works in both Windows and SUSE. Taking out the CD after the
boot image has been loaded doesn't help.

I've tried to boot in safe mode and with ACPI disabled, but I get the same
result.

Some other things noted during boot:
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.1.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.2.INTA
$PIR: No matching entry for 0.2.INTB

Well, if your printer has its own Ethernet card and an IP address
you can just set things up to go directly to it with no server.

Or, what is that router?   If it is something like a FreeBSD box or
other more full service system, it can probably handle the task of
serving the printer as well.

Re: FreeBSD OpenAFS

2007-04-04 Thread Jerry McAllister
Hello,

 Hi Jerry,
 I found your posts regarding FreeBSD 6.1 and AFS in my search to 
 possibly make it work (I'm running a mix of 6.1 and (testing) 6.2) on our 
 various machines and was was wondering if you found anymore answers.

You should probably post this type of thing to an appropriate list,
such as freebsd-questions  or  OpenAFS  where more people with better
knowledge than I have will see it.

 Some background to my project:
 
 I'm looking for a replacement for NFS.  I want to share jails across a 
 cluster of machines for virtualized servers a la the Linux Virtual 
 Machine.  I'm looking for a file sharing system that will behave nicer 
 than NFS and thought AFS might be an answer?  I also liked how all the 
 drives in the various machines can act together as a large share, rather 
 than having to have a dedicated drive array.  Especially with the cheap 
 abundant SATA2 storage that is available these days.
 
 Any experience you care to share or advice you might wish to offer would 
 be appreciated.

As for AFS, I needed only a client.  The university maintains the server
which, I think still, they run on AIX.  So ended up installing Arla
on a machine running FreeBSD 5.5.   It would not work on 6.1, nor
would OpenAFS.

But, I have read that OpenAFS now works on 6.2 or maybe it was 7.0 -- 
any the latest of FreeBSD.   I have not tried that since currently
the Arla install is serving my needs.

It doesn't filter folders, however it has a Next Unread Folder command,

 For what it's worth, if you use cvsup then you can store your own ports
 safely under /usr/ports.  You can also store extra files (like extra
 patches, for example), though I'm not sure what would happen if that
 port got deleted.  Probably just your patch would remain.

 easier to stick with cvsup.

There's already support in the tree for adding local ports, or even
entire local categories of ports.

Simply create /usr/ports/Makefile.local containing eg:

SUBDIR += my-ports

and make /usr/ports/my-ports a link to your directory of local ports.

Or you can tack another port into the existing hierarchy -- eg.
suppose you have a customised version of apache22.  Then you can create
/usr/ports/www/Makefile.local containing

   SUBDIR += my-apache22

and /usr/ports/www/my-apache22 either as a link to, or as a directory
containing your modified apache22 port.

The SUBDIR links are probably only really necessary if you're going to
try and build an INDEX incorporating your custom stuff. As the mods go
into separate files, this is cvsup proof.

This approach generally works OK with the pkg_* tools -- so long as
each of your homegrown ports has an origin accessible within the ports
tree.  You may find you need a bit of 'pkgdb -F' action to sort out 
dependencies if one of your custom ports replaces a port that others
depend on.  On the whole though, it should work nicely.

 is accepted. The time is given in seconds, except if a unit is
 given: m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days.  The greylist
 keyword is equivalent to the -w option. Here is an example that
 sets the delay to 45 minutes:
 
   greylist 45m
 
 
 A 1 hour timeout could be too long for an impatient end-user, so I
 have lowered that to 10 minutes.  Most external servers retry at 15 or
 30-minute intervals.  I also set the autowhite value much higher than
 the default of 3 days (2 weeks), so frequent sending machines never
 leave the whilelist.
 

What I got caught on was client, altho from the context, 
here ``client'' seems to mean the mail-server-sending-spam.'
In the unix world, my server is the client--unless the 
client-server model is different with email.  Another reason 
I didn't reinstall is that an hour seems far too long.  A few 
to = 15 minutes seems closert to what a spammer just wouldn't
bother with.  Thanks for your insights!

Ports/progress bar

2007-04-04 Thread Olivier Regnier

Hello,

I tried to use the bar program to show a progress bar in my shell script.

I tested with this command in console:
bar -c 'csup -L 0 /root/csup/doc-supfile'

I see the progress bar but she doesn't work. I think the syntax is 
correct no ?


For informations, i use Zsh.

Can you help me please ?

Thank you.

UTF-8 in console

2007-04-04 Thread Nejc Škoberne

Hello,

I am have many FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x servers installed and I have this in my
/etc/profile:

LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8; export LANG
MM_CHARSET=UTF-8; export MM_CHARSET

because I am using UTF-8 encoding with PuTTY. It works with most applications
but not with dialog. For example, I get this when using UTF-8:

lk
x  Options for nrpe2 2.7 x
x lk x
x x  [ ] SSL   SSL support x x
x x  [ ] ARGS  Enable command arguments *POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK*  x x
tqmjqu
x   [  OK  ]   Cancelx
mj

so there are letters l, q, k, x, t, m, j, and u instead of line characters.

How do I fix this? It work's OK with ISO-8859-2 encoding, for example.

Thanks,
Nejc

Re: remote printing question

2007-04-04 Thread David Banning
 Well, if your printer has its own Ethernet card and an IP address
 you can just set things up to go directly to it with no server.
 
 Or, what is that router?   If it is something like a FreeBSD box or
 other more full service system, it can probably handle the task of
 serving the printer as well.

Thanks Jerry.

I don't want to use a server. So the router would have to do NAT.
Is it possible that way for the outside world to address the 
printer directly since it has a network address, and not a 
www IP?

Take a look at the macros that define the external and internal

internal network, remove all lines that have localnet or int_if in
them.

Make sure that the ext_if macro matches your network interface. Look

plip0. You're looking for the network device that has a status: active

Do not change the order of the lines in the file! pf expects them to be

kernel panic installing 5.4-release

2007-04-04 Thread m yelle
I'm attempting to install 5.4-r on an old server which
has been running 4.9-stable for the last few years
without any problems, with longest uptime of just over
6 months. I'm installing to a tested clean/blank scsi
hdd.

After the cd boots, it loads the BTX loader, does a
partial boot sequence then asks for which kernel to
load- acpi, non-acpi, safe, etc. No matter which
option I choose, there is an identical kernel panic
immediately afterwards, every single time.

Booting from floppies, the kernel panic still occurs.

Is there a a way around this, or do I need to use a
different BSD? I've tested for obvious hardware
defects.



Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel

You can probably setup the router to forward the ports used by that

If you are using textproc/bar, from reading the webpage
http://www.theiling.de/projects/bar.html
the answer seems to be no.  That bar seems to work as
a substitute for cat(1), or with the -c flag as a wrapper.
Since you are not putting files into the pipe, but rather
pulling them out, bar cannot see the size of the job and
so determine what portion is finished or not.

There also appears to be a misc/clpbar which may be

Is there hardware support for this Motherboard Intel DG965OT Motherboard 
in FreeBSD 6.2 I have read the Hardware notes but am unable to determine 
if FreeBSD 6.2 is compatible with Intel DG965OT Motherboard and the on 
board Martix Storage Technology

I would like to setup a Raid 1

http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DG965OT/index.htm 
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DG965OT/index.htm


Also are the any concise instruction on how to setup hardware raid 1? I 
have searched the net



I have Intel D975XBX2 with two on-board SATA RAID controllers: one is Intel
Matrix and the other is Marvell storage. I have FreeBSD 6.2 with RAID-5
using Intel Matrix Storage. It seems to work fine.

When you set it up, you first have to create a RAID array. When your
machine boots, right after (or before?) you see the screen that takes you
to the BIOS configuration, you'll be prompted to press Ctrl-I (IIRC) and
you'll be taken to RAID controller configuration screen. It's really
straightforward how to create a new array.

Then, when you boot FreeBSD, you should look at dmesg output. Mine looks
like this:

ad4: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata2-master SATA150
ad6: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata3-master SATA150
ad8: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata4-master SATA150
ad10: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAJ at ata5-master SATA150
ar0: 915729MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID5 (stripe 64 KB) status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY using ad4 at ata2-master
ar0: disk1 READY using ad8 at ata4-master
ar0: disk2 READY using ad6 at ata3-master
ar0: disk3 READY using ad10 at ata5-master

FreeBSD installer asked me what drive I wanted to install it to: ad4, ad6,
ad8, ad10, or ar0. Of course, I chose ar0.

(The second on-board RAID controller, Marvell 88SE6145, seems to be
unsupported under FreeBSD 6.2, unfortunately. It gave me quite some
trouble. But that's another topic.)

Alexander thanks for the info,
How do you know when a drive has failed and how do you rebuild the 
array, Is this done in the bios or in FreeBSD?


Thnaks,

Re: UTF-8 in console

 Hello,
 
 I am have many FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x servers installed and I have this in my

 LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8; export LANG
 MM_CHARSET=UTF-8; export MM_CHARSET
 
 because I am using UTF-8 encoding with PuTTY. It works with most 
 applications
 but not with dialog. For example, I get this when using UTF-8:

dialog is probably built/linked with the normal libncurses rather than
libncursesw (and corresponding configure option to use the
wide-character features).  That's one part of the problem.

Another is that PuTTY does not honor VT100-style line-drawing when it's
doing UTF-8.  You can tell ncurses that's the case by setting the
NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS environment variable (added 20050312).  Then it'll
use +'s and -'s, etc., to do ASCII line-drawing.  To get nice
line-drawing in PuTTY in UTF-8, you have to use the wide-character
libncursesw.

 I don't want to use a server. So the router would have to do NAT.
 Is it possible that way for the outside world to address the

 You can probably setup the router to forward the ports used by that
 printer.  The ports you'd need to forward are dependent on the printer
 driver.

Thanks for that Derek. Any idea what good routers could do the job?


Netopia has them that will either bridge or route with a built-in adsl modem.

If you want more routing capability get a better netopia like a 9000 series 
which you can get with an ethernet interface to connect to any xDSL 
modem.  You can find cheap used ones on ebay.

ezjail on FreeBSD 6.2

2007-04-04 Thread Dave

Hello,
   Is anyone running ezjail on 6.2? I've got to set up three similar jails 
and i'd like to run them off of one base. I'd like to create a jail flavor, 
where one jail has file x while the others do not. Two problems i'm having 
with flavors is one adding packages such as shells, and two adding users and 
giving them the shells just added? I'd also like it if i could mount my host 
system's ports tree in the jail itself, so i wouldn't have to get multiple 
copies of the ports tree. The only way i've found thus far of doing this is 
via nullfs on the base system and was wondering if there was an easier 
method of doing this?

Thanks.
Dave.

How can I view sstreaming video?

2007-04-04 Thread Gary Kline

Not too many weeks ago I had streaming video going (thru mplayer)
on FBSD as  well as Ubuntu;  now I have neither.  The mplayer
plugin app just STOPS after several moments of making its links
and loading part.  There are too many variables to easily figure
this out.

I'm ready to use totem, totem-xine or whatever ... I just need 
some clues!!  


Anybody???

Linux emluation of Skype not complete.

2007-04-04 Thread Paris Jones
I am using FreeBSD 6.0 Stable.

My friend told me about Skype and was very egar to try it, to my dismay the 
port of Skype will only accept one device for audio input and output, (Which my 
headset requires) and I would rather not mess with the DSP hijacker so I 
installed the linux build for skype.com (The static with QT compiled in) but 
was also upset to find that I could not call or receive calls from anyone.  I 
am using the linux_base-8, if someone could tell me how I can start calling 
people it would be very useful, I have read maybe 2 articles about this on 
google and both tell me to install ports that no longer exist.

 Thank you again.

Jonathan Horne wrote:
well, wikipedia says this (something that i just now learned about 
standard pentium4 line of processors)

[wikipedia]
HyperThreading was present in all Northwood CPUs, but was disabled in

[/wikipedia]
  


That's not true. I have a 2.6 GHz Northwood, and it supports 
HyperThreading (however I'm not running FreeBSD on it, so I can't help 
you with SMP).
You can use the Intel Processor Spec Finder 
(http://processorfinder.intel.com/) to discover the capabilities of 
your CPU, but I think the HTT that appears in the dmesg output 
stands for Hyper Threading Technology.


As noted by Andrea, HTT has been available since 2.6GHz in the Northwood 
series (think 2.4GHz was the last non-HTT based Northwood CPU but I'd 
have to check some internal sources).


If you don't have SMP support setup on your freebsd box you need to 
either a) use the generic SMP kernel (it's called SMP, not GENERIC), or 
build a custom kernel with the following lines:


options SMP
device apic

Then you'll have a SMP enabled kernel :).

You also need to add:

kern.smp.active = 1
kern.smp.cpus = 1

to /etc/sysctl.conf. After you do that, you should see the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/gcooper]# dmesg | grep SMP
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

Either Wikipedia's wrong, or you accidentally misread / misquoted that 
article.


Cheers,

That's because OSS by itself doesn't support more than one channel at a 
time. You need to support virtual channels (a FreeBSD only feature 
AFAIK) by entering in the following lines in /etc/sysctl.conf:


hw.snd.maxautovchans = 20 # Adjust to fit the number of simultaneous 
sound channels you want enabled at once.

 Hi,
 
 I just put instead of sk0 nve0 (wich is my ethernet card). But, on boot i

Like this?:

No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled

That's just a message. You don't _need_ ALTQ.
