Access to the local network was normal. This machine is behind an ADSL router (IP 192.168.0.250) which acts as the gateway. The problem was, after the IP address change the default gateway was lost. defaultrouter was present in rc.conf but was not applied again after the netif restart. A quick route add default 192.168.0.250 fixed it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
only first PCMCIA card works
Dear list Running FreeBSD-6.1 RELEASE on Thinkpad 380XD, I have been using this notebook for many years (and used FreeBSD from 4.7 to 6.1). An ethernet card is plugged on the first PCMCIA slot and I inserted my FC card reader (PCMCIA card produced by Hitachi) and noticed it's not detected (no message about it in dmesg) Later I discovered any card in the first PCMCIA slot works, any card in second slot, be it ethernet card or FC card adapter, doesn't work. I have pccard_enable=YES in my rc.conf. dmesg told me this: # dmesg | grep pccard pccard0: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb0 pccard1: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb1 ep0: 3Com Corporation 3C589D at port 0x100-0x10f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 Actually I am not sure what to do next. I checked dmesg and found irq 11 is used by uchi0, as well as ep0, surprisingly both works, maybe my knowledge of IRQ is outdated. I also checked that my IRQ 3, 4 and 10 are not used (3 4 are free because my sio hardware is borken so I disabled it in /boot/devices.hint), so I write /etc/pccard.conf which says: irq 3 4 10 But after reboot the ep0 device still get 10 (I suspect it can get 3?) Then I go to added this to /boot/devices: hint.uhci.0.at=pci hint.uhci.0.irq=3 After reboot uchi0 is still at irq 11. Strange. I attached both of my dmesg and kernel config file.

Re: FreeBSD 5.5 hangs on boot when pluging mouse/Intel Gigabit
Hi, I am in process of upgrading a serie of servers from 4.11 to 5.5 (and them 6.2). I am on the 5.5 phase. I did 2 machines sucessfully. On upgrading the thrid one, the boot will hang after SCSI buss reset, whenver I plug in the mouse or an Intel Pro/1000 MT Gigabit card. I don't know the reason, but in 6.2 the problem vanished. The server I am upgrading was working fine for 2 years and more. The 2 machines I did previously are the exact same mother board as the one making trouble, but the one I upgrade is 2 CPU. more RAM and a tape device. One of the 2 machines that succeded is using the same add on Intel Pro Gigabit. All machines are connected to the same KVM switch. Kernel is GENERIC from distribution.

No information about deprecation of pcic/card is mentioned in manual, also the pccard manual is too short to provide useful information. No information about pccardc's dependency on old pcic/card device drive is mentioned in pccardc's manual (which would lead people to ask why pccardc complain /dev/card0 doesn't exist) and I cannot find the new userland tool that replaces pccardc for testing and adjusting pccard behavior. Not just someone who try to complain here, but having this note might help other people find useful information or serve as a note to developers help FreeBSD improve in next version. Now I try to compile a kernel using pcic/card device drive and see if my second card would work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It depends on what you really want. If you don't want 64-bit version OS, I don't think you'll have problems at all.

If one is going to require the installation of something that may not be part of a base system, that something might as well be bash :) Except that bash requires all the icky GNU utilities to build so you have to GNUify your system. The second you put in gmake, gmake requires iconv, readline and all the other nasty libraries, and from that point on if you build something you never know if it's going to link in to one of those libraries. Lots of programs use configure and if they don't see the gnu libraries they will use the more traditional bsd ones, but if they see the gnu stuff they will silently use it. For example, one I see a lot is programs using gdbm if they see it, and if they don't they will use ndbm. This can cause major problems for commercial users. I'd love for someone to modify the gmake port to have a variable you can set that would build all the GNUified dependency libraries, build and install gmake and statically link in all it's GNUified libraries, then remove all the GNUified libraries.

New FreeBSD installation
Hi, First, thanks for the help I got from this list when I was having problems getting FreeBSD to install on a new system. Hard drive cabling was the problem - got that fixed. I have FreeBSD up and running now. I have a couple of questions. When I installed FreeBSD, it automatically installed Sendmail 8.13. I installed cyrus-sasl2 and cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd from ports because I need SMTP auth. Sendmail is running on the box: # ps waux | grep sendmail smmsp 20613 0.0 0.1 3440 2800 ??

I have noticed that there isn't anything in /etc/rc.conf regarding sendmail (no SENDMAIL_ENABLE=YES etc.) but since sendmail is starting from rc.d perhaps there shouldn't be anything in rc.conf? I'm not sure where to begin trying to figure out why I can't send mail or telnet to port 25. What am I overlooking here? Also, when I installed FreeBSD, I installed SSH. Unfortunately, at first I put the wrong IP address on this machine (it conflicted with another server I currently have running). I fixed that.

Sendmail will run only local submission if you don't have sendmail_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf, so you need to add it to make sendmail listen on interfaces other than 127.0.0.1.

Is the interface already up when you are starting BIND? I guess it is not. I haven't tested myself but you might try to add the very same IP you use for your ADSL interface as an alias to the lo0 device. This way the IP is available all the time, thus BIND should be able to listen on it. While it might look strange to have to same IP on two different interfaces (lo0 and ADSL in your case) IIRC it should work flawlessly.

How does one start mysql after installing from ports
This is pretty pathetic but I'm batting a 1000 on this one. I installed mysql a few weeks ago on this web server I'm making for my church and didn't do anything with it at that point (that was the first mistake). I've not used mysql (I usually use PostgreSQL) but WebGUI wants mysql. So, being completely unfamiliar with it, I cannot figure out how to start this thing. I eventually figured out that the mysqld process starts by using mysqld_safe in /usr/local/bin. However, I can't get it to start. At first it was because the directory /var/db/mysql didn't exist. I created that and now I get this: whitbap# mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/db/mysql/whitbap.pid 070704 16:09:42 mysqld ended (And the contents of /var/db/mysql/whitbap.err: whitbap# cat /var/db/mysql/whitbap.err 070704 16:02:41 mysqld started 070704 16:02:42 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.

m4p conversion to mp4?
Warning to potential uses of the AllMusicConverter ( www.allmusicconverter.com http://www.allmusicconverter.com ). If you are a software developer beware of this application as it disables the debug environment, probably to prevent reverse engineering. This is done with some other applications that I know of but most of them put the system back the way they found it, this one doesn't, and you have to re-boot in order to debug your apps. The company go to extreme lengths to also prevent installing on more than one PC. There methods would likely cause the application to stop working even if you upgrade your PC by replacing the motherboard or even the processor as it checks the system ID.

This can cause major problems for commercial users. How? Last I heard, the *L*GPL only requires making the *library* source available (and that only if the library has been modified). It doesn't extend to the using application. I'd love for someone to modify the gmake port to have a variable you can set that would build all the GNUified dependency libraries, build and install gmake and statically link in all it's GNUified libraries, then remove all the GNUified libraries. Or, change all the gnu ports to install into something like /usr/local/gnu or /usr/local/gpl instead of straight into /usr/local.

hi Gabor,
are you trying to share over SMB between the jails?
between the hosts and the jails?
you may want to explain your plans... using NAT for netbios seems a bit
overkill to me, unless you plan to send SMB packets over the larger
internet...which in itself seems a bad idea.
If you only need SMB across different LAN segments, setup WINS server(s) (MS or
from the Samba project).
