at job disappears?
FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 (single CPU) /var is FFS with soft-updates, on SATA. /var/cron/tabs/root contains: * * * * * /usr/libexec/atrun I had three at jobs queued. They all call the same shell script with different arguments. First one runs fine. Second one gets: atrun[3212]: cannot open input file: No such file or directory And then the third one runs fine. The machine is idle except for the at jobs. No reboot, no fsck. As far as I know, nothing should be mucking around in /var/at except atrun. Nothing to explain a file disappearing into thin air. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Installing OpenOffice Solver tar.bz2
Hello list ,
I've installed the latest 2.2 Openoffice package from
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.2/i386/ , so far so
good.
Now, I've also want the solver, which I believe is the file
OOo_2.2.0_FreeBSD62Intel_solver.tar.bz2 in that same URL. But once I have the
file... i can't figure out how to get OO to recognise it - it doesnt seem to be
an OO package, or a Freebsd package either.
I imagine I'd have to extract it somewherebut I not sure where
inside /usr/local/openoffice-[VERSION] this should go...
I've tried this same thing (moving 'solver' into the OO install dir) for a few
versions now (2.0, 2.1,2.2) with no luck... any hints would be greatly
appreciated.
thanks!!

Re: ATI Radeon 9600xt (256MB DDR) on FreeBSD 6.2 ; SOLVED NOW
Sir, Now I have used ATI Radeon driver but the screen was still 'diagonally shifted' wherein at the bottom and at the left of the screen there was blank space. I am using FreeBSD 6.2. I also added device drm device radeondrm in my Kernel. But it did not make any difference to the display. The solution was achieved accidentally when I changed the settings during performing settings after passing 'xorgconf' command, I selected No. 6 when the program asked for the Horizontal Refresh Rate of the monitor. Earlier I was using 30-70 KHz. Now the screen in Video mode is OK. I very sincerely thank all Gurus who helped me resolve the issue. FreeBSD is a wonderful OS. When I logged as another user and tried to enter into GUI mode, I realised that for this user also I have to do the setting so that xinitrc knows which GUI to use. I tried Gnome for this user. It is a wonderful OS, I can assign different GUI environments to different users!

Is further improvement possible so that display is stretched to whole screen. I have googled about this problem, but so far the solution seems to be a little away. The VESA driver is not optimal for that card. The radeon driver will at least get you 2-D acceleration, though not 3-D. The reason xorg -configure doesn't find your card is most likely the absence of a radeon kernel driver in your kernel.

This is not the sort of thing I want to fiddle around experimenting, so a little guidance would be most appreciated. fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr /dev/ad0 You installed the FreeBSD boot sector stuff, which gives you the 'press F1' business. Replace that with the standard mbr, which just boots straight up. Rather than replacing it, you can use boot0cfg to set a really short timeout instead; in case you might want that functionality one day. Heh. It's not like you only get one chance to rewrite the boot blocks on any particular drive. If anyone needs to (re-)install the FreeBSD boot blocks, then you can do very simply it by: boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 or even fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 Or if you need to boot from a serial console you can change / boot/boot0 to /boot/boot0sio Sure, but why get rid of it, when leaving it in with a short timeout costs you nothing. A fair point, but in this particular case, FreeBSD is the only thing on the drive, and likely to remain that way until the disk dies of mechanical failure. I just don't need that prompt, especially the annoying beep it makes. The beep was removed since May 2006 (6.2-RELEASE, 6-STABLE, HEAD). A simple #boot0cfg -B /dev/adX should get rid of it.

Re: Spaces in SSID in /etc/rc.conf
Gunther Mayer wrote: Hi there, I got a low key server who is wirelessly connected to the net using an SSID that contains a space. In rc.conf I define the ifconfig line for configuration of my wireless interface upon bootup, but the entire line reads something like ifconfig_ath0=' inet 192.168.0.1 ssid my network ' No matter how I tweak the quotes (single then double, other way round, with lots of \\) I never get my interface to configure properly upon bootup and I need to get to the console to fix it up. I thought I knew shell syntax but this is beyond me or manpages... What's the right way to do this? I think the right way is to use wpa_supplicant.conf to define wireless networks. Then in your rc.conf you prefix the NIC configuration with WPA like this: ifconfig_ath0==WPA DHCP This method also allows you to define various wireless networks if needed.

This is not the sort of thing I want to fiddle around experimenting, so a little guidance would be most appreciated. fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr /dev/ad0 You installed the FreeBSD boot sector stuff, which gives you the 'press F1' business. Replace that with the standard mbr, which just boots straight up. Rather than replacing it, you can use boot0cfg to set a really short timeout instead; in case you might want that functionality one day. Heh. It's not like you only get one chance to rewrite the boot blocks on any particular drive. If anyone needs to (re-)install the FreeBSD boot blocks, then you can do very simply it by: boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 or even fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad0 Or if you need to boot from a serial console you can change / boot/boot0 to /boot/boot0sio Sure, but why get rid of it, when leaving it in with a short timeout costs you nothing. A fair point, but in this particular case, FreeBSD is the only thing on the drive, and likely to remain that way until the disk dies of mechanical failure. I just don't need that prompt, especially the annoying beep it makes. The beep was removed since May 2006 (6.2-RELEASE, 6-STABLE, HEAD). A simple #boot0cfg -B /dev/adX should get rid of it. I thought I remembered that! Wasn't it removed to reclaim a couple extra bytes? :-) Quote from the commit log: Restore the pre-5.x behavior of only beeping if the user makes a bad selection and not always beeping on startup. The two bytes for the extra 'jmp' instruction were obtained by removing recognition of BSD/OS partitions.

Yes, but using a local domain which conflicts with existing domains is strongly not recommended. Consider what happens if a local config issue bounces email or worse to somebody else, or consider what happens if you chose .net or .com instead of .localhost. Is there any standard, anything like the CIDR blocks reserved for private networks? The zeroconf/rendezvous stuff likes to use .local as the domain unless other info is available. Cool. Tried .local and works too. Looks like sendmail is happy with finding 'dot anything' after the hostname. So far, my problem is fixed.

Researchs led me to RFC 2606, alternative DNS roots, and the like, but I couldn't distill any practical advice. Which will be the interactions if I choose e.g. .somedomain.com?

HTH Ernest Thanks, unfortunately no success. When I concatenate all ~/login_conf files with /etc/login.conf I get the following warning message: cap_mkdb: ignored duplicate: me So I was mistaken. Try compiling just your ~/login_conf, make sure a ~/login_conf.db file appears. Ernest Thanks, that has worked! Before I always used cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf plus all the user's $HOME/.login_conf, but just using it on my ~/.login_conf did the trick. A ~/.login_conf.db file has appeared. I feel a bit silly for not having come up with it myself. I guess what confused me was that on another user's account the cap_mkdb compiling wasn't neccessary, but I don't need to understand that now that it works for me. Thanks again. Christopher But you are still curious, aren't you? AFAIK, there are two possible explanations: 1) There _is_ a .login_conf.db file in the other user's homedir. 2) The other account pertains to a different login class than yours, which already sets the desired locale and so masquerades the user's settings being ignored. Dunno if a user can see his own login class. If you have permissions, can use vipw to find out (if unfamiliar, take a look to vipw(8) and passwd(5) manpages, notice the 'class' field).

Looks like atrun has a race condition? (was: at job disappears?)
FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 (single CPU) /var is FFS with soft-updates, on SATA. /var/cron/tabs/root contains: * * * * * /usr/libexec/atrun I had three at jobs queued. They all call the same shell script with different arguments. First one runs fine. Second one gets: atrun[3212]: cannot open input file: No such file or directory And then the third one runs fine. The machine is idle except for the at jobs. No reboot, no fsck. As far as I know, nothing should be mucking around in /var/at except atrun. Nothing to explain a file disappearing into thin air. Looking at the atrun source, I think there is a race condition. When atrun starts running a job, the first thing it does is chmod the job file to 400. But in main() we have /* Delete older files */ if ((run_time now) !(S_IXUSR buf.st_mode) (S_IRUSR buf.st_mode)) unlink(dirent-d_name); Main() doesn't know that run_file() isn't finished with the file and blindly unlinks it. Since run_file() unlinks the file when it is finished, I assume the unlink in main() is to clean up files after a crash? Perhaps main() should only unlink the file if it is really old, say a week. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot set permissions on symbolic links. Check out the relevant code in
/etc/rc.d/devfs:
p*) for device in ${devicelist}; do
if [ -c ${device} ]; then
chmod ${parameter} ${device}
fi
done
;;
Without the '-h' argument to chmod, it changes the permissions
on the device, not on the link! Changing permissions on a symbolic link
doesn't seem to accomplish anything, btw. If I create a link to a
regular file and chmod it to 000, I can still read/write the linked file.
If you want all users to have access to the cdrom, use this:
own cd0 root:cdrom
permcd0 0666
A bit less open would be:
own cd0 root:cdrom
permcd0 0660
which restricts access to the cdrom to members of the cdrom group.
AFAIK, you don't need to set execute bits on devices.

postgresql7 server with 8 client, and XML
Hiya, I'd like to build databases/postgresql74-server. When I try to it say that it cannot install as long as i have databases/postgresql8 installed. The thing is, i don't want to install 7.4, i only want to build it,and the reason i want to build it is because i want to build work/postgresql/contrib/xml 8.x comes with contrib/xml2 which is not what i want. --- I tried just downloading postgresql 7.4 from the pgsql site but when I go try to make contrib/xml i get the following http://www.suite2101.com/help/pgsql contrib/xml is preferrable to me over contrib/xml2 as i need to support a pile of legacy applications that use 2 specific functions in contrib/xml that are not in contrib/xml2 Help please. -- Unless otherwise indicated, anything I write is either garnered from experience or pulled out of my ass, depending on situational needs..

Basically you have two choices here, 1) Change the mode for ulpt0 to 666. This means everybody can read/write to this device. This is unsafe on a multi-user system or on a publicly accessible server. 2) change the group of the program to 'cups', and set it's setgid bit (chmod g+s ...). This means that the program will assume the group 'cups' when it starts, giving it access to the device. IMHO (2) is the best solution, because it gives the program in question enough rights to work, without exposing the rest of the system much.

Yes, because escputil belongs to the 'usb' group. It should belong to the same group as /dev/ulpt0, which should be 'cups'. A 'chown :cups escputil' should fix that. Thanks a lot it worked. to check the ink level requires using a raw device so the -r option must be there.

As a result of CVS modifying $FreeBSD$ tags when commits happen, this makes the /etc/rc.d/jail file which you get by installing from the source code very slightly different from what you get by using FreeBSD Update (since the FreeBSD Update patches are built before the CVS commits are done, this is unavoidable); consequently, FreeBSD Update doesn't recognize the file and thinks that you modified it locally. Now, I do not recall ever playing with jail. Anyway, how do I update the system (and keep changes to /etc/rc.d/jail (if any))? The easiest solution is to remove /etc/ from the UpdateIfUnmodified line in /etc/freebsd-update.conf and run freebsd-update again. Make sure that you add /etc/ back afterwards.

Re: Default interface font size in Firefox Thunderbird 2.0
Okay, I think what I'm seeing is that since upgrading to the 2.0 versions of these applications, they're taking a font size that looks a few points higher than what's set in gtkrc-2.0. If I set the font down to Arial 10 in gtkrc-2.0 it looks about right in Firefox and Thunderbird, but then my other gtk2 apps have a font that's too small. If I set it to Arial 12 like I had it I get the ugly big fonts in FF and Thunderbird. I don't think it's my user settings; I tried a completely clean config in my guest account (all GTK, firefox, thunderbird, and KDE configs wiped) and still saw the same behavior. -- === Erin E Conn [EMAIL PROTECTED] === ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Default interface font size in Firefox Thunderbird 2.0
Erin Conn wrote: Okay, I think what I'm seeing is that since upgrading to the 2.0 versions of these applications, they're taking a font size that looks a few points higher than what's set in gtkrc-2.0. If I set the font down to Arial 10 in gtkrc-2.0 it looks about right in Firefox and Thunderbird, but then my other gtk2 apps have a font that's too small. If I set it to Arial 12 like I had it I get the ugly big fonts in FF and Thunderbird. I don't think it's my user settings; I tried a completely clean config in my guest account (all GTK, firefox, thunderbird, and KDE configs wiped) and still saw the same behavior. Are you using xorg-6.9 or xorg-7.2? If you're using xorg-7.2 then it's sort of known behavior. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use a KVM switch to share the KVM between two machines. The other machine runs Windows, everything works as it should there. Malcolm Does the KVM you are using have keyboard and mouse emulation for when the system is not active on the KVM. It works as it should after reconnecting the keyboard. I had checked the connections before posting because that seemed the most likely cause but it seems that I did the job properly this time. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DNS Cache - Bind
I'm running Bind 9.3.4 on FreeBSD 6.2 for my local network. It doesn't have any zones, it's just a local DNS that has a bunch of forwarders. The first request is slow (between 150 and 300 ms) - but after that (the next query on same domain) is fast (less then 10 ms usually). This is nice and working the way I like it. :) What I'm wondering though is: a) How do I flush the cache if I need to (ie. need to get a new update from the forwards) - just restart named? b) Are there any settings I can tweak that determine how long the cache is kept? (ie. Say I want to keep all queries for 7 days before they are queried from the upstream DNS servers). [This will probably screw up dynamic DNS sites, but want to see what settings are available] c) Is there a easy way to 'blacklist' sites? Say I want 'SpammerNetwork.com' to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Basically I want to take this host file: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and then pump it into my DNS server, that way all the LAN clients are protected from these sites. Is there a way to do that? -J ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Find out startup programs execution order..
Look before and after the error messages What other messages you see? That'll give you a general idea on where it's at in the startup process when you get that error.

IP Firewall disconnecting me after firewall changes
I keep firewall rules in a file that I then run via a sh command. You know, like /etc/rc.firewall. :-) Essentially the file does ipfw -q -f flush $cmd 0015 check-state $cmd set 31 rule# allow tcp from address/subnet to me 22 in via $pif setup keep-state where $cmd = ipfw -q add and $pif = em0. I understand that this set 31 rule should remain even after the flush action on the first line. This does not appear to be the case. If I run this script from an ssh session I get disconnected which is not what I expected. What am I doing wrong?
