disaster - restore data from corrupted archive
Hello all, Today I destroyed /usr/home directory. I have a bzip2 dump backup of entire /usr directory (level0). But some of data in bzip2 file are corrupted. I verified it by bzip2 -vv. Finally, I used bzip2recover, I've decompressed about 800 files with no error message. Is there safe way to restore or extract /home directory?? Thank you for help...

So this is one reason why it is best to put tools like you describe in /usr/local/sbin My preference for such local scripts that ought not be confused with any system (or local port) scripts is to put them in /root/bin .. no chance of any sort of upgrade clobbering them there, and your own scripts are all together. You need to specify full path for any of these where used in a crontab, but that's good practice anyway. If you're using [t]csh, as Lisa appears to be (needing to run 'rehash' to find newly added commands), $HOME/bin is already in the default path.

Of course, you have to remove old dumps once in a while, lest you run

compress the dump with gzip;

Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE
Hello, I've been using freebsd-update for some time now and it's been fantastic. I recently used Colin's upgrade script[1] to upgrade to 6.2-RELEASE, but it seems that the crypto distribution is now missing from my system. With previous versions of freebsd-update I would have used --branch, but later versions this option is omitted. What's the safest way to get freebsd-update to recognise that I need the crypto libraries and install them? PS On a side note, what happened to the IDS option? I'd like to use it to exclude files in a backup script. If you have a suggestion for nice alternative, please let me know :-) Many thanks, Matt [1] http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2006-11-26-freebsd-6.1-to-6.2-binary-upgrade.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: NTFS-3G: mount at boot
Okay, here's an update:
Creating a symlink from /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g to /sbin/mount_ntfs-3g
does not work (as posted before on the ntfs-3g forum message below).
I, then, added the following ntfsmount startup script to
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/:
--
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
. /etc/rc.subr
name=ntfsmount
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
--
Then, chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntfsmount (to make it executable),
then added ntfsmount_enable=YES to my /etc/rc.conf, then rebooted. I
did not see any error messages during boot, but the partition was not
mounted ('mount' returns nothing after logging in).
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt to mount the
windows partition, 'mount' now shows /mnt/windows THREE times, like
/dev/fuse1 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse3 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse5 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
and 'ls /dev/f*' returns
/dev/fuse0 /dev/fuse1 /dev/fuse2 /dev/fuse3 /dev/fuse4
/dev/fuse5
It seems that since the 'ntfs-3g' command ran twice in the ntfsmount
script, running 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt makes the
third mount point. But if its two runs in the startup script were
successful, why would 'mount' not show the mount points until I run it
again from the command prompt?
I even tried removing one of the 'ntfs-3g' commands in the ntfsmount
script, i.e.
--
command=ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8
--
Rebooting with this, still 'mount' shows nothing after logging in.
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' from the command prompt now, I get TWO
/mnt/windows mount points (instead of three). So it seems the all the
runs in the script are successful and the partition is mounted, but
the mount point is not available until I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the
command prompt.
I am using
fusefs-kmod-0.3.0_5
fusefs-libs-2.6.4
fusefs-ntfs-1.417_2
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks :)

I have the same problem. A little search got me to
http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=292 where a solution is posted. It
seems that using /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS partition at boot time is not
working since the mount command is being executed before the 'fuse' kernel
module is loaded. However, on my 6.2-RELEASE machine, I see the following
message when booting:

I'm assuming that this late mount (the last line above) is being done after
loading the 'fuse' kernel module, so the OS should be able to mount the file system now,
but it can't! It's looking for mount_ntfs-3g and that file does not exist.
My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g
rw 0 0
I also used the /etc/fstab entry suggested in NTFS-3G's own website ( http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ -
scroll down to the end of the page), where defaults is being used instead of
rw, but that gave me this error:

FreeBSD 6.2 default bind9, question about customize logging [re-post]
I am using FreeBSD 6.2 with the default bind (not ports).
By default chroot is used.
When named start or stop, it does have log in /var/log/messages.
But for example, when some do domain transfer successfully, that is not
logged (zone transfer denied is logged).
So I tried to add this part in named.conf (enabled local0.* in
syslog.conf) , but still no luck. Any suggestions?
logging {
channel named-log {
//syslog daemon;
syslog local0;
severity info;
print-category yes;
};
category default { named-log; };
category xfer-in { named-log; };
category xfer-out { named-log; };
category unmatched { null; };
};

Re: Adding a new command
Lisa I just went through the same migration about a month ago. Here some things that may help. 1. As far as the location of custom scripts go. I would make your own location. Either /opt/companyname/bin sbin etc. or /usr/local/companyname/bin sbin and etc. This type of setup makes it very easier to tar a single directory and move it to another server. 2.Edit the /etc/bash_profile, /etc/profile, /etc/csh.cshc or other global shell config files, and make sure your custom binary directories are in everyones path by default. 3. Don't fight it. Symlink /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash. There is nothing wrong with doing this, and will save you a headache when things start to break. 4. Fix your custom scripts. The /bin/bash should have already been taken care of via the symlink. Another useful thing you may want to do is go through all your shell scripts and fix paths. A lot of my scripts start with a bunch of lines that look like: awk=`which awk` perl=`which perl` rather then hard coding the path. This can be helpful, but be careful as it allows users to hijack your scripts.. Ie: in the above scenario I could create a script in my homedir called awk, and put my homedir in the beginning of my path. 5. Test you scripts extensively. GNU tools are not the same as BSD's. Many commands such as cp, rm, sed, and others can have very different results on both systems. Read the man pages to make sure the flags your are passing to these commands are doing what you want them to do. 6. Get used to using unlink in place of rm. I linux you can safely rm -rf a symlink. In BSD depending on if you end the command with a slash, you could wipe out the the actual contents.

The file radlog contains the line: tail -f /var/log/radius.log I need to be able to type radlog from anywhere on the system and have it work. I put the file radlog in /bin (/bin and /sbin are all in my shell's path). Ownership is root/wheel permissions are 555 (I've tried 700 and 777 - these don't need write access though). But when I type radlog I get command not found. I can type ./bin/radlog and it works but I don't want that. I thought if the file was in my path and if it was executable just typing the name of the file from anywhere would work but evidently I'm overlooking something. What?

thanks... that didn;t work. under options in skype the Ringing device is
still dimmed and that was never a problem in 6 - just upgraded to 6.2. if
i didn;t run anything else - like mplayer, xmms, etc - the skype worked
fine. now when i run nothing but skype i still can hear the ring or what
people are saying to me
I have 8 on mine (Intel HDA) and it works fine.
You can set this in /etc/sysctl.conf so it's reset on startup to your new
value.

in the skype options for hand/headsets the Ringing points to /dev/dsp

Re: passwd file and user accounts
I didn't have as many accounts so I didn't even bother migrating them. I add all my new accounts using pw rather then adduser. It is much easier to script with this then adduser. My first approach would be the following: 1. add one account to freebsd. 2. Using chsh or vipw, copy the redhat password hash into the account, and see if the password works as is. If I remember correctly I think they do. 3. See if you have any accounts on your freebsd with a user or group higher then 500. 4. Write a quick script to create the new user accounts. Make sure you installed shells/bash. Should be simple enough using awk or cut. I would keep the existing values from the linux passwd/shadow files, just make them properly formatted for bsd. Keeping the old uid numbers where possible is much less labor intensive then giving the users a new uid. pw will let you script this easily too if you do not want to manually edit the password files. If you create new uid's you will have to do a find across the entire system and chown chgrp all your files for 700 users. If you do choose to manually edit the password files, make sure to backup and rebuild the hash properly with pwd_mkdb. Lisa Casey wrote: Hi, This is probably a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway... I have a Red Hat Linux system I need to get rid of. It is currently doing e-mail for approximately 700 users and is also doing radius authentication. I have setup a new FreeBSD computer to take it's place. I have everything setup now on the FreeBSD computer except for the user accounts and mailboxes. The mailboxes aren't a problem, I've used tar to move mailboxes before. I suppose I cannot simply copy /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /home from the Redhat computer to the FreeBSD computer due to the password hash in /etc/passwd. Am I correct on this? Would it be possible to copy /etc/passwd then (before the new system goes live) reset all the passwords with the passwd command? That might be easier than adding in close to 700 accounts using adduser. Does anyone have a better idea of how I might go about doing this?

Re: non-interactive dump

Is there a way to tell dump to do it's working without it asking Is the new volume mounted and ready to go?: (yes or no) everytime it changes mount points? How else can it tell when you've swapped in new media? If it automatically continued it would just overwrite the previous segment.

X11 forwarding problems in FreeBSD 6.2
I am having some problems with X11 forwarding. I can do X11 forwarding via ssh between two machines running Linux, but if I try to do this from FreeBSD (KDE) to either of the Linux machines, it only works if I use startx to start KDE on the fbsd machine (a laptop). If I start KDE from kdm, I get errors that go like this when I start the KDE app on the remote host running Linux: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kate Xlib: connection to localhost:11.0 refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key kate: cannot connect to X server localhost:11.0 My configurations for ssh are similar on all hosts: sshd_conf has AllowTcpForwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalHost yes XAuthLocation /usr/local/bin/xauth ssh_conf has Host slider HostName 192.168.0.1 ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes PubkeyAuthentication yes Protocol 2 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: non-interactive dump
Is there a way to tell dump to do it's working without it asking Is the new volume mounted and ready to go?: (yes or no) everytime it changes mount points? How else can it tell when you've swapped in new media? If it automatically continued it would just overwrite the previous segment. In principle, when dumping to a sequence of volumes on a removable device, it could watch for the device to become not-ready and then ready again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Odd Multi-User Mode BUILD Error: lang/gnat; why is it attempting to use csh???
Please CC me on a response as I am not a member of
freebsd-questions
Here it is:
gmake[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/ports/lang/gnat/work/gcc-34/gcc/fixinc'
/bin/csh ./genfixes machname.h
SHELL=/bin/sh: Command not found.
export: Command not found.
if: Expression Syntax.
gmake[2]: *** [machname.h] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/lang/gnat/work/gcc-34/gcc/fixinc'
gmake[1]: *** [fixinc.sh] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/lang/gnat/work/gcc-34/gcc'
gmake: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
*** Error code 2
this is obviously caused by the build attempting to
run the sh script with (t)csh instead causing a basic
syntax error to occur because of the incompatible
script syntax and puking the make. I say obviously
because dropping to single user mode and choosing
/bin/sh as my shell allowed the build to occur without
error.
I think the problem lies in
lang/gnat/work/gcc-34/gcc/fixinc/Makefile.in
referencing the variable
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
and using it genrally like
cd $(srcdir) ; $(SHELL) ./genfixes $@
I don't know much about Makefile syntax but I know
changing every reference of SHELL to DINGLESHELL made
no difference. I attempted to force SHELL=/bin/sh to
no avail it was ignored and still ran
/bin/csh ./genfixes machname.h
SHELL=/bin/sh:Command not found
I even reset MAKE_SHELL=/bin/sh in make.conf and
forced the above Makefile.in to use
SHELL=${MAKE_SHELL} as a last resort but neither
futile attempts worked.
I believe the error is that the Makefile is ignoring
the setting of SHELL and using the environment SHELL
variable which is by default /bin/csh. Under Linux
this wouldn't be an error because as I recall they use
bash for everyone, even the big wheels... but for a
BSD this is an error, because root runs csh
My question is should [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ pickup the proper
/bin/sh and build things correctly, or is using SHELL
in the makefile in this manner an error under a BSD
that should be fixed by a patch worked out with the
maintainer. I don't know if this is an configure
error, or a one in a bluemoon thing. I am thoroughly
confused by this.
I guess I am wondering if anyone else has had similar
issues with the port as a search on google didn't seem
to find much. I need the GPL version so I can use
tasking, as my reason for using Ada needs the
intrinsic support for threading to be functional.
This also allows me to try out the adacore compile
prior to dropping whatever sum of money they want for
GNAT-Pro...
If I have to go single user to update the port I will.
I don't want to run /bin/sh as my root shell i suppose
i could try bash. which as an exercise i set as the
root shell and all went perfectly fine through the
build. I don't want to leave things this way because a
simple issue of deleting my ports will make logging in
as root require remembering to boot single user...
my build env:
2x 2800+ athlon-mp
1284M Ram (1gig + 256M registered ECC scrubbing on)
FreeBSD 6.2-p5
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe
COPTFLAGS=-pipe -O

thanks for any help, and thanks to the FreeBSD team, I
can't wait for 7.0 to be released, I think my LH6000
is going to love the optimized SMP routines... as will
the above machine, of course.

what exactly are you trying to do ? what error do you get?
is your windows user local? does it have admin rights ?

Anybody know what file I have to modify to get permission on the windows computer? OK - there are two scenarios: 1) Running the command from a Windows command shell to/from BSD (really pscp, right? - that's what comes with putty): pscp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:sourcefile localfile - Copies file from BSD to Windows pscp localfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:destfile - Copies local file to BSD This should work out of the box assuming there are no authentication or firewall problems in the way. If you're running WinXP/Vista you may have to open the Windows firewall to permit this. You can see what's going on by having pscp be verbose by sticking a -v flag into the command: pscp -v . 2) Running the command from BSD to/from Windows This is harder. You have to be running a ssh daemon (sshd) on your Windows machine. This is very doable, but you'll need something like cygwin to get sshd for Windows and then you'll have to configure it appropriately. The good thing about this (although it is kind of a pain) is that it gets around an interesting limitation in WinDoze. Microsoft does allow you to telnet into your Windows client machine but it only allows ONE such login at a time (because, if you wanted more than one login, surely you need WinDoze Server ... which is WAY more money). If you install sshd on your machine, you now have more-or-less unlimited logins via ssh from other machines. Similarly, on Windows Server, you probably need a CAL for each telnet connection. I do not quite understand Microsoft's licensing terms (does anyone?), but it _may_ be the case that running sshd on a Windows Server and using ssh to get to it _may_ get you around paying for extra CALs. YLFMV (Your Legal Fees May Vary). You didn't provide any particulars (in the future, an exact description of what is- and is not working is VERY useful for those of us trying to help ;), but, if I had to guess, I'd say you're having one of two problems: 1) You're trying to do the file copy from BSD to/from Windows and you don't have an sshd daemon running on Win32. 2) You're trying initiate the copy from Windows (which should work), but the Windows firewall is blocking the connection. HTH, P.S. If anyone tells anyone else that I know this stuff about Windows I will deny it loudly and come looking for you. I do not need any more conversations that start with, Oh, you're a computer engineer - I have this problem with my/childrens'/wife's/dog's Windows machine... :) -- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Peter Gary, If you're just trying to do file transferring/sharing in a local 'secure' network, I suggest Samba in place of scp. You might also want to consider Samba + VPN as well; scp is great for porting files over long distances, or a last resort for dealing with Unix = Windows transferring, but just seems incredibly kludgey when dealing with files/directories otherwise (having to maintain an ssh connection, having to install a scp/ssh client per machine for instance are what I consider kludgey).
