The password that was programed into the unit from my service provider was a randomly generated password and I was messing with a lot of the settings and needed to keep logging in. So I changed it to make my life easier. So any way I changed the password and now it appears I didn't change the password to what I had thought I had. The password was a short 4 digit number.

My phones don't work at the house because the think has been set incorrectly. I don't know how to crack passwords or even where to start. Is there some kind of script or application I can run on my FreeBSD system to try every combination of numbers from 0 - . It is possible I may have fat fingered the number so it could be 6 or 7 digits instead of the 4 I intended. I don't know. I tried every variation I can think of and even got drunk again hoping to recreate the stupid mistake. I have totally messed that one up. I would have had to type it twice which just goes to show you should not work on your junk while drunk. Can anyone help me out? The unit has no reset buttons to reset it to defaults there is nothing online that I can find to bypass the unit. I did a port scan and it appears to only be listening on port 80.

interface dc0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.10;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers;

Forwarded on behalf of Chad Perrin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Mon, Apr 16, 2007 at 10:29:43AM +0100, Alex Zbyslaw wrote: How does apt-get compare to something like yum/up2date on FC/RHEL? I.e. is there something that makes apt-get better? It uses a package format that requires more information about the software (that's a good thing), it's faster, and the command line tools provide more comprehensive functionality. The rest of the benefits of using APT over using YUM that come to mind for me are related to the fact that I've mostly used APT with Debian, and are distro-specific benefits, not benefits of the package manager itself. I haven't used up2date at all, so I really can't comment. I imagine it is to YUM as aptitude is to APT. I prefer APT over aptitude and, based on what I've heard about up2date from people who have used it, I gather I'd prefer YUM over up2date. Aptitude seems to be designed to be more user friendly than APT itself, and ultimately ends up just being a reshuffled deck of defaults all tied together through a single command, reducing the fine-tuned scriptability of APT. Some people like it, but a couple years ago when the Debian maintainers were talking about phasing out APT entirely in favor of aptitude, they apparently got enough complaints that they reversed that decision. Now, you have both APT and aptitude. APT also has a few GUI front ends. From what I've seen, Synaptic seems to be the most stable and complete, and it's pretty nice (as far as GUI software managers are concerned). I hear there's a GUI front end to up2date as well, but I don't know of anyone that actually uses (and recommends) the thing. My main issue with all the RedHat OSes is that you are effectively stuck with whatever version of packages was combined to make a particular release. So if the machine you have came with say postfix 2.0, your stuck with that for the lifetime of the OS. If you suddenly have a need for 2.2, you can try using src rpms, but somehow they never seem to be available for your particular OS version, and whether the ones for a later OS version compile or not is hit-and-miss. Sure, it's dead easy to yum update say postfix 2.0 to postfix 2.0+some security fix, but that's just not enough for me. The APT system allows pinning, where you can set preferences to use a given version of a package or to use a specific release branch's version no matter what version number that is at any given time. At any moment, there are at minimum four supported release branches of Debian. Additionally, you can create your own packages or add third-party archives to your sources.list file to allow you to select yet another package version from outside the official release branches. None of these options are quite as flexible as the FreeBSD ports system for choosing specific software versions, and from what I've seen it seems that the really mature binary package systems are more brittle, in that deviation from expected use of provided packages can cause breakage more easily than a source-based system like the FreeBSD ports tree. (There. I'm on-topic again.) I resent having to upgrade the OS to get up-to-date packages that have no specific relationship to anything I understand as the OS. That's especially a problem for ISP-rented servers, where upgrading the OS is a matter of having to get a new server, or taking your life in your hands and trying a yum update of the OS. But even for a desktop, it's just far more work than I believe should be required. FreeBSD ports/packages are not perfect, but at least I can update third-party software without upgrading the OS. Debian Testing and Unstable release branches provide a smooth, gradual upgrade path so that you don't need to do a complete system reinstall or upgrade to get updated packages. Of course, your packages do still get upgraded on their schedule, not on yours, but certain packages never upgrade automatically -- like the kernel. You can upgrade your kernel version easily, though, if you wish to do so (using an apt-get install command). My understanding is that most of the Debian-derived distros other than Debian itself have strayed from that policy, however, and to get the benefits of the software versions shipped with the new OS releases you are expected to upgrade the entire system. It's probably easier to get around that with APT-based distributions, simply by adding archives to your sources.list file and setting preferences appropriately to pin specific packages to specific release versions, and gradually pin more and more packages to whatever version you want, but that can become quite a bit of work if that's how you want to handle it. Hopefully that helps answer some of your questions. Overall, I find the FreeBSD ports system to be more flexible, but an acceptable runner-up for purposes of binary package-based OSes in my opinion is Debian. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] A

Hopefully that helps answer some of your questions. Overall, I find the FreeBSD ports system to be more flexible, but an acceptable runner-up for purposes of binary package-based OSes in my opinion is Debian. Just to add my .02$ to this topic, speaking from a perspective of a FreeBSD lover in a company which prefers Debian, I must say that, even though I administer a couple of FreeBSD boxes, I sometimes envy my fellow Debian admins who manage tens of Debian boxes with a really quick apt-get upgrade (or whatever the command) to fix a hole or apply a patch vs. updating the source tree and making world on FreeBSD (not to mention mergemaster which is a nightmare and the build process which lasts for hours if not days). I'm quite frightened by the effort I would have to invest to get the same effect administering a large number of FreeBSD boxes. Mind you, I'm not actually talking about the ports tree; given one of the portupgrade/portmanager/portmaster tools, I usually find my way through upgrading ports via source to be rather simple. On the other hand, on Debian there is a price for simplicity, stable still ships with really old 3rd party apps like Mysql 4.0, Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3... To conclude my rantings, I really appreciate the effort behind binary updates and freebsd-update project. Colin is doing a great job and by using portsnap and/or freebsd-update, FreeBSD is slowly overcoming the complicated upgrade process which combined with good ports tree and above mentioned portupgrading toolset and portaudit makes for an outstanding OS.

I saw in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=mpdstype=all that the last version is mpd-4.1 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/mpd-4.1.tbz How can I upgrade to the last packages versions with freebsd-update? -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: keeping all things up to date
Just as an example that just came up recently: gettext was updated in the ports tree, which required a rebuild of all ports that depend on it. I missed reading /usr/ports/UPDATING before, so I didn't notice this fact. I did an update on my girlfriends laptop which resulted in several applications not being usable anymore. Imagine my face as I had to explain to her why she was unable to use her machine for one and a half day. Another lesson learned... That's why I agree to Chad: Doing automatic updates isn't advisable. They might even come at the wrong time, e.g. when you need your system resources. I'm thinking about monsters like OpenOffice, GNOME or KDE. Wait, before this gets out of hand, yes, I've been bitten with gettext more than once over the years. Mostly I'm worried about bug fixes in the OS and in the ports I've installed. I'm not talking about massive upgrade from one version of the OS to another. What would be nice to see is some script that would sort out dependencies and update things sanely. I think we're all guilty at some point of not having read UPDATING and updating something.It would be nice if there was something could watch out for certain conditions and then print out the relevant section from UPDATING on the screen. Those are just some obvious ideas. However, there are unix systems, for example Ubuntu, which has a sort of package manager that handles automated updates that sorts out dependencies. I was just wondering if anyone had done anything like that for FreeBSD?

Is FTP install broken?
For probably the 2nd time in history for me, I am trying an FTP install. It's been a good while since I've done a FBSD install, and I assumed things had gotten more polished since 4.x.. I'm trying to install the 200703 snapshot of 6.2-STABLE, and no matter what server I select, no matter what variant I try of various length paths specified in a custom URL to a server that I *know* has the files (ftp.freebsd.org), I get the following message: Warning: Can't find the '6.2-STABLE-200703' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to (sic) set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to any).

Is there some kind of script or application I can run on my FreeBSD system to try every combination of numbers from 0 - . It should be easy to create a script that runs from 0 to or whatever and tries every one out. A simple for loop in any scripting language would do that. The only thing is to know how to send the password to whatever it is that needs it and to read the response to know if it worked.If the system locks out after a certain numbers of errors, then you will also have to add some waits to get it past those delays.I have no idea how to send to the device you are speaking of or to read its response, but probably something to STDOUT and from STDIN would do it or you may have to open a pipe. It is possible I may have fat fingered the number so it could be 6 or 7 digits instead of the 4 I intended. I don't know. I tried every variation I can think of and even got drunk again hoping to recreate the stupid mistake. If it is more tha 4 digits, set the for loop to go another one or two. Running it could take a while if there are lockout waits - in the order of weeks. jerry I have totally messed that one up. I would have had to type it twice which just goes to show you should not work on your junk while drunk. Can anyone help me out?

If you do, you may be able to reset the password that way, or if you can't directly reset it, you can grab a copy of /etc/password.master and then run john on that. john, I think, can be configured to just try four digit numbers.

Re: The OX laptop...
50 m isn't that much. I was guessing more in the range of one to five km. (Maybe with an outside antenna??) the idea is a child to communicate with another than with another... in a school during normal hour, ther will be about 500 computers XO on and online... so the all children will have a way to communicate to each other, share files, produce documents... when they leave the school they eventually will go offline... Or 5 million people being producers; having them not only consume bbut contribute to the greater good of thw world! I think 5 million is just the beginning; in a few years, 50 millions, and then 500m. Maybe in another generation it'll bring at least a couple of billions (thousand millions) into the cooperative world-force. will this be the start of a new eratime will tell This really makes my day.

Identifying cause of crash
I had a complete system crash this morning sometime shortly after 17/ Apr/2007:08:51:22 -0500. (from my most active apache log). I can't seem to find any information whatsoever about the crash. It's just that a few hours later I noticed that the system was down, and had to power cycle the box. There was nothing on the console except some much older stuff. I'm running 6.2-RELEASE-p3 on VIA C3 Nehemiah (999.52-MHz 686-class CPU) Looking in messages or auth.log I see nothing from around the time of the crash. Is there some place else I should look? I've also checked logs that are sysloged remotely $ grep '@10' /etc/syslog.conf *.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit@10.1.10.131 security.* @10.1.10.131 auth.info;authpriv.info @10.1.10.131 *.emerg @10.1.10.131 And there is nothing from near the time of the crash there either. So the system appeared to crash before anything could be logged. The system has been running fine since I've had it (a few months ago), and my most recent kernel rebuild was on April 13 (and then only to add msdosfs which I needed for USB memory devices).

OP 6.2 would be a good deal.
OP There are very cute rc-scripts to start/restart/stop your

No, it is not possible :(
Do i need to perform any actions with the jail when upgrading a kernel
or the jail must work without any changes?
I think it depends on the changes you made to your kernel.
Usually it works without any problems for me.
I have no jails right here to check out QUOTA and jail under
6.2-RELEASE-p3 but maybe anotherone can help us there.
PS: Why it is not possible for you to make an update? :)

How can I stop ppp from modifying my /etc/resolv.conf?
Everytime I establish a pppoe session, my resolv.conf file gets
reconfigured to my ISPs DNS Servers.
It's dhclient, not ppp that's modding the file. Adding this to your
dhclient.conf file will fix the problem
interface dc0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.10;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers;

you will need to change the interface name and provide the actual dns

We consider the features of `make' in 4.2 BSD systems as a baseline.

Many features come from the version of `make' in System V. * The `VPATH' variable and its special meaning. *Note Searching Directories for Prerequisites: Directory Search. This feature exists in System V `make', but is undocumented. It is documented in 4.3 BSD `make' (which says it mimics System V's `VPATH' feature). * Included makefiles. *Note Including Other Makefiles: Include. Allowing multiple files to be included with a single directive is a GNU extension. * Variables are read from and communicated via the environment. *Note Variables from the Environment: Environment. * Options passed through the variable `MAKEFLAGS' to recursive invocations of `make'. *Note Communicating Options to a Sub-`make': Options/Recursion. * The automatic variable `$%' is set to the member name in an archive reference. *Note Automatic Variables: Automatic. * The automatic variables `$@', `$*', `$', `$%', and `$?' have corresponding forms like `$(@F)' and `$(@D)'. We have generalized this to `$^' as an obvious extension. *Note Automatic Variables: Automatic. * Substitution variable references. *Note Basics of Variable References: Reference. * The command-line options `-b' and `-m', accepted and ignored. In System V `make', these options actually do something. * Execution of recursive commands to run `make' via the variable `MAKE' even if `-n', `-q' or `-t' is specified. *Note Recursive Use of `make': Recursion. * Support for suffix `.a' in suffix rules. *Note Archive Suffix Rules::. This feature is obsolete in GNU `make', because the general feature of rule chaining (*note Chains of Implicit Rules: Chained Rules.) allows one pattern rule for installing members in an archive (*note Archive Update::) to be sufficient. * The arrangement of lines and backslash-newline combinations in commands is retained when the commands are printed, so they appear as they do in the makefile, except for the stripping of initial whitespace. The following features were inspired by various other versions of `make'. In some cases it is unclear exactly which versions inspired which others. * Pattern rules using `%'. This has been implemented in several versions of `make'. We're not sure who invented it first, but it's been spread around a bit. *Note Defining and Redefining Pattern Rules: Pattern Rules. * Rule chaining and implicit intermediate files. This was implemented by Stu Feldman in his version of `make' for ATT Eighth Edition Research Unix, and later by Andrew Hume of ATT Bell Labs in his `mk' program (where he terms it transitive closure). We do not really know if we got this from either of them or thought it up ourselves at the same time. *Note Chains of Implicit Rules: Chained Rules. * The automatic variable `$^' containing a list of all prerequisites of the current target. We did not invent this, but we have no idea who did. *Note Automatic Variables: Automatic. The automatic variable `$+' is a simple extension of `$^'. * The what if flag (`-W' in GNU `make') was (as far as we know) invented by Andrew Hume in `mk'. *Note Instead of Executing the Commands: Instead of Execution. * The concept of doing several things at once (parallelism) exists in many incarnations of `make' and similar programs, though not in the System V or BSD implementations. *Note Command Execution: Execution. * Modified variable references using pattern substitution come from SunOS 4. *Note Basics of Variable References: Reference. This functionality was provided in GNU `make' by the `patsubst' function before the alternate syntax was implemented for compatibility with SunOS 4.

As far as I can tell, there are only two temperature sensors accessible via the BIOS, CPU and MB.

On Tue, Apr 17, 2007 at 02:58:34PM +0200, Michael Grant wrote: Just as an example that just came up recently: gettext was updated in the ports tree, which required a rebuild of all ports that depend on it. I missed reading /usr/ports/UPDATING before, so I didn't notice this fact. I did an update on my girlfriends laptop which resulted in several applications not being usable anymore. Imagine my face as I had to explain to her why she was unable to use her machine for one and a half day. Another lesson learned... That's why I agree to Chad: Doing automatic updates isn't advisable. They might even come at the wrong time, e.g. when you need your system resources. I'm thinking about monsters like OpenOffice, GNOME or KDE. Wait, before this gets out of hand, yes, I've been bitten with gettext more than once over the years. Mostly I'm worried about bug fixes in the OS and in the ports I've installed. I'm not talking about massive upgrade from one version of the OS to another. What would be nice to see is some script that would sort out dependencies and update things sanely. I think we're all guilty at some point of not having read UPDATING and updating something.It would be nice if there was something could watch out for certain conditions and then print out the relevant section from UPDATING on the screen. Those are just some obvious ideas. However, there are unix systems, for example Ubuntu, which has a sort of package manager that handles automated updates that sorts out dependencies. I was just wondering if anyone had done anything like that for FreeBSD? Ubuntu just uses Debian's APT. Most of the time it works like a charm. Sometimes, it produces frustrating failures -- like updating gettext without reading UPDATING, except you don't have UPDATING and sometimes don't have any warning at all. I prefer what I've encountered of FreeBSD's approach. If someone can point me at software that will do something similar to APT but without the occasional bit of failure to which that sort of do everything for me system is prone, I'd be happy to have it -- but I'm not sure it exists, or would even be easy enough to create that we'll see it any time soon. If you have specific ideas about what parts of the updating process are safe, you might try writing a few shell or Perl scripts that automate those steps -- then share them with the rest of the world. You might also, if writing such scripts is too far outside your expertise, simply put together a carefully crafted list of steps you think should be taken so you can pass it on to others like myself who might be more likely to write the code (at which point I/he/she can give it back to you for your own use). -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts. - Paul Graham ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Migrating from i386 to AMD64
I've currently got a production server in place that I want to do some hardware upgrades on. We're currently running a Dual P3 1.4 GHz and I plan on replacing it with an AMD X2-5200+ cpu/mb. Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Are there any issues I should be aware of? Of course I'm going to bench test everything with an image of the production server, just to be sure, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I start. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Migrating from i386 to AMD64
Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Yes, it should work fine. You may need to update /etc/fstab of course, and any other settings that need to change along with the motherboard change, but other than that it should just work. Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? If you want to run the AMD64 version, yes the BKM is a re-install. But you need not install the AMD64 version, the i386 version will run fine on the X2. I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Then stick with i386.
