One other thing you can try - set the ethernet adapter to 10BaseT half
duplex
and see if it gets better.

I noticed that you're using backticks, so GPG_TTY gets set to the output of
the tty command - not the text "tty" itself.
Perhaps you want this?

setenv GPG_TTY `tty`

"i386" is the architecture;  it includes all the similar processors

The 686-class is the specific processor within the i386

you'll see a list of options for CPUTYPE.  athlon-xp might be the
closest to your cpu.  However, some folks here recommend against
using overly specific cpu optimization.  You can go safe and just use
pentium4



I'm not sure that is safe, Athlons, Sempron etc are back-compatible to
686 i.e. Pentium Pro, which is way before Intel developed the Pentium4.
  

   Use athlon-xp (hyphen or no hyphen? I forget..).

Your PAM config may be overriding SSH's config (For the ignoring
MaxAuthTries option). It sometimes does that, depending on how the
login type is set up in the sshd_config file. Check your PAM config

Thanks for the reference! It was an interesting read, and it does calm
me down a bit, as it suggests the problem to be limited to chips with
rev <= 1, whereas all my cards are rev 2.

Well, if nothing else, it will be interesting to test my cards with
FreeBSD and see what happens. In the worst case, it won't be that hard
for me to switch to another card (just hoping that it won't cause any
data corruption). It will probably be a while before I get the drives
to connect to them, but I'll try to remember to post the results of my
testing.

gpg-agent

2007-07-10 Thread Pollywog
I have been having trouble getting gpg-agent to work. kgpg complained about 
the agent not running.  I added this to my ~/.bashrc:

GPG_TTY=`tty`
export GPG_TTY

This seems to have taken care of the problem but it only works when my default 
shell is bash.  If my shell is tcsh, it doesn't work.  This is what I have in 
my ~/.cshrc:

setenv GPG_TTY tty

Apparently this is wrong.  Any ideas as to what I can try?

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; };
};

Thanks
Patrick

I'm not sure that is safe, Athlons, Sempron etc are back-compatible to
686 i.e. Pentium Pro, which is way before Intel developed the Pentium4.

Re: named listening on LAN

2007-07-10 Thread jbarnet


this is what I got:

listen-on {
   127.0.0.1;
   192.168.11.50;
};

Try that, restart and see if it works locally (from the server).

Also the logs spit anything out?

Other thing is firewall, I think simple blocks it by default? So you 
might want to try that.

Are we comparing apples to oranges?

88.78 KBps  (kilo bytes per second) = 710.24 Kbps (kilo bits per second)

If this is true, then the FreeBSD box is faster :)

you can just plug it into the bsd box, it wont mount automatically.

you can create temporary mountpoints, say maybe:

/media/usr
/media/var
/media/root

and mount them on those.  copy what you need out, and the unmount them when 
youre ready.

acpi_smbust_read_2: AE_ERROR 0x10 on a mac pro running -STABLE

2007-07-10 Thread George Hartzell

I have a mac pro running amd64 -STABLE from about a week or so ago.

The console and dmesg output are flooded by 

  acpi_smbus_read_2: AE_ERROR 0x10

message.  There will be a couple, then silence, then a burst of them,
then

The don't seem to be hurting anything, but they push other stuff out
of dmesg.

Can anyone help me identify the problem and reduce the chatter (short
of commenting out the line that's generating the output...).

Help making too quiet sound work on Mac Pro running -STABLE

2007-07-10 Thread George Hartzell

I have a mac pro running amd64 -STABLE from a week or so ago.  Most
things are working well, but sound's not quite there.

When I plug a set of powered speakers into the headphone jack on the
front of the machine and max the mixer setting and the speakers, I can
just barely hear an mp3 played by mpg123.

I'm loading snd_hda from /boot/loader.conf, and /dev/sndstat tells me:

  FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
  Installed devices:
  pcm0:  at memory 
0x9310 irq 23 kld snd_hda [20070619_0045] (1p/1r/1v channels duplex default)

There's a chunk of the dmesg output from a verbose boot at

  http://shrimp.alerce.com/misc/delicious-dmesg

which seems to include all of the pcm info.

What other info can I provide?

I found out that "mcookie" generates magic cookies for xauth, but I do not
have the mcookie command in FreeBSD, though it exists on my Debian Etch
system and is part of the util-linux package.  If I can find mcookie or a
command that is analogous to it in FreeBSD, I might be able to fix this
problem:

http://rocketcalc.com/bread.php?key=22
From what I've read at http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/mcookie1.html:

  mcookie  generates a 128-bit random hexadecimal number for use with the
  X authority system.  Typical usage:
 xauth add :0 . 'mcookie'

Therefore, you should be able to use any random 128-bit hex number
instead of mcookie.
I'm not sure how secure it would be, but it should work just fine.

I think you need to generate a new cookie with

See xauth(1) for more info.

external drive

2007-07-10 Thread Jean-Paul Natola
Hi all,

After yesterdays fiasco trying to upgrade 5.5 to 6.2 - I just grabbed a new
drive and did a clean install of 6.2

Its working great, no errors I'm happy- 

There are some files (basically some custom config  and cf files) that I
would like to copy from the 5.5 drive - 
So I put it in an external enclosure  and needless to say windows wouldn't
recognize it - and the MAC OSX though it sees it , it wont let me mount it
(despite the fact that I clicked mount drive ) 

2 questions;

1. Is there anything out there that would let me read a BSD drive from a
windows or mac machine?
2. If I do just plug the drive into the BSD USB port will it cause any
conflicts as there will be duplicates of the main slices
/var
/usr etc..

Or am I safe just plugging it in and mounting it?


PS: Thanks to everyone for the feedback yesterday - I learned A LOT in the
last 24 hours

I just did 'ssh' to one of the Linux hosts and when the connection was made, I

Hi,

I try to install freebsd 6.2 on my freshly install hardware RAID1 (AIC-7901)
But sysinstall always show me two HD but not one.
Perhaps the driver is not load at the install and you must configure a kernel
after .
But i don't have this trouble with freebsd 5.x

Thank for help

I hate not remembering things, so I just verified this on a Windows Server

NETBIOS over TCP/IP. Make sure it's enabled on the WINS tab of the Advanced
TCP/IP settings dialog for the interface.

BRILLIANT!

Thats the one!

IIRC, Win2k3 only uses port 445 for smb/cifs by default, and our mount_smbfs 
can only use 139 (or thereabouts :) ). It would be nice if mount_smbfs were

Hi Olivier,

from the manual page of uname(1) you can see what the -m option shows you, 
namely the platform on which you are running FreeBSD:

 -m  Write the type of the current hardware platform to standard out-
 put.
 
This page gives information on what kind of platforms does FreeBSD run

"i386" is the architecture;  it includes all the similar processors including 
the 486, Pentiums, Athlon, etc.   Other architectures are completely different hardware, 
eg Sun's SPARC.

The 686-class is the specific processor within the i386 architecture.  if you 
look in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf you'll see a list of options for 
CPUTYPE.  athlon-xp might be the closest to your cpu.  However, some folks here 
recommend against using overly specific cpu optimization.  You can go safe and 
just use pentium4

Re: Selecting printer from apps core dumps. Howto debug?

Sorry to bring back the thread but I'm seeing this issue with a fresh
install of everything on a new machine.

Printing to an Epson USB printer from the CUPS test page works fine,
as does printing from Opera using the lpr binary installed by CUPS. When
trying to print via AbiWord or Claws Mail, they coredump. If the
printer is not set as default in CUPS (which is how I had it set before
reading this thread), it does bring up the print dialog in
Abiword/Claws but it dumps when you select the printer. If the printer
is set as default in CUPS, the app dumps right when opening the print
dialog and before the printer even shows up on the list of available
printers.

I think it's a somewhat new problem somewhere because I've been using
Xfce, CUPS, and these applications for quite a while on other machines
with no problems. CUPS is enabled in xfce4-print as well as
libgnomeprint, and GNOME printing is enabled in Claws Mail. The USB
permissions are also set properly. I also tried running AbiWord outside
of Xfce (in Xorg's default WM) which did the same thing. Maybe it's
something with libgnomeprint since both apps use it and both have
problems printing?

Here is a list of relevant software versions on the non working
machine:

abiword-2.4.6_1
claws-mail-2.10.0
cups-base-1.2.11_2
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_1
gutenprint-cups-5.1.3
libgnomecups-0.2.2_4,1
libgnomeprint-2.18.0_2
libgnomeprintui-2.18.0_1
xfce4-print-4.4.1_1

Here is a list of relevant software versions on a machine that is
printing properly with Claws-Mail (and probably would with AbiWord if
it didn't have a problem with some laser printers):

abiword-gnome-2.4.6
claws-mail-2.8.1
cups-base-1.2.8
libgnomecups-0.2.2_2,1
libgnomeprint-2.12.1_3
libgnomeprintui-2.12.1_2
xfce4-print-4.4.0

Here's the backtrace from AbiWord if it helps:

http://tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/gdb_abiword_print.txt

Please let me know if I can provide any additional info. Thanks in
advance for any suggestions on how to fix or debug this.

I have actually succeeded in making my 3945 work in 6.2 Release, but I
used the January 2007 version of the wpi driver

http://www.clearchain.com/~benjsc/download/20070125-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz

This only works on the release version and it breaks if you perform a
freebsd-update and recompile your kernel.
I have only tested basic features (i.e. no encryption of any kind) but
it worked ok.
>From what I've read the driver is in heavy development and will probably
go open for beta testing soon. I believe there will be a working
solution either included in 7, or something you can download and compile
yourself. Read more details here:

My trick for this is that I got some Windows system somewhere to install

I think the first thing I would do is go back to a default 
configuration.  Turn off pf, take out all of the sysctls and see what 
happens.  Then start adding things in one at a time until you find 
what breaks it.  It doesn't take much to do 625K/sec, the default 
configuration is easily capable of 30 times that.  My guess is that 
either one of the sysctl 'tunings' has broken something, or an 
interaction between two or more of them has caused an unexpected 
behavior, but that's an easy enough theory to test.

Yeah, I like this trick.  And it worked for a while.  Beautifully, I should
add, except when Windows did its stupid media preview thing that took
forever while navigating through directories.

Then that idiot IT team at my university cut it off, I assume through
packet filtering rules.  (I wish they'd focus on getting things working
that they're supposed to be supplying instead.)

Re: sshd config config file question

2007-07-10 Thread Huy Ton That

The daemon is up and has been up for a long time. In fact, when I made these
changes to sshd_config, for instance as a test maxauthtries to 3 I also
reloaded it during a ssh terminal session. After which I logged back in and
as a test, purposely errored the tries; it still defaulted to 6 despite the
sshd_config file change and reloading.

when I say I get no message I mean to state as such:

$/etc/rc.d/sshd status <--carriage return
$ <--no message after return.

Thanks Pete.

i'm not sure what you mean about "no message".  make sure you have
sshd_enabled="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf.

also check to see if sshd is running by using "ps".  if it is not, try
starting it by hand - this will tell you if there are any errors on
startup.  once it starts cleanly by hand then use the init script in
/etc/rc.d/sshd.

the man page for sshd is very helpful, and should answer many of the
questions you may have - including how to start the daemon by hand,
etc..  type:
man sshd

It's probably best to start at the basics and work up:

1) uname -ar on both systems
2) do both systems have identical hardware?

3)what are you coping over, lots of small files, one large file.  i.e.
what kind of benchmark are you using?

that's the best place to start.  it looks like you have a ton of pf
stuff going on, and have made many changes to your kernel via sysctl.
i didn't really look at that stuff closely - that info is kinda
pointless w/o the basic hardware, OS data.

The normal user would have to be a member of the "wheel" group to use su
at any point.  If your normal user logs in via ssh/console/whatever,
they should be able to run the passwd command to change their own
password.  You wouldn't want them to su to do so.  If you want to test
this, add your normal user to the wheel group, log in again and see if
it works.

  The motherboard is an Intel D645 GEBV2. I've tried a couple of
  different disk arrangements, with no success.

  I've installed an IDE WD 180GB drive, which the motherboard BIOS
  detects just fine. When I boot from disk 1 for the FreeBSD install, it
  detects no hard drive.

  I've put in an Addonics ADSA2 PCI SATA card, which sports the SiL
  1352A chipset, but the install blows up when installing to a 74GB
  Seagate drive - the kernel panics and it reboots while copying files
  to disk.

  Has anyone run into these problems? Google hasn't been particularly my
  friend on this one.

  I've tried reading the install docs on the CD, with no particular
  luck, but I could be missing something.
  Clearly you have a disk controller compatibility problem.  I do know the
 Sil chips are terrible, and there is a long history of issues with these
 chips and FreeBSD!

  Can you find a regular IDE drive to plug into that motherboard?

  -Derek
 Plugging an IDE drive into the motherboard is the first thing I did -
 that's the case above where FreeBSD didn't see *any* HD. That's the
 one that really fries my brain, because the motherboard BIOS detects
 it correctly, and XP installs to it just fine.
 Any possibility the IDE master/slave jumper is not set right on that drive?

 On some intel MB's it takes a reboot into setup so that setup see's the
hard drive, then check that it has that hard drive in the boot order.  I
know this seems a bit simple, but just trying to check all possibilities.
I've never seen a problem with a standard IDE drive installation.  After you
had XP on the drive did you reformat the drive to clear it out?

 -Derek


I think I'll go beat my lackey again.

He was supposed to remove the jumper, and didn't do it.

I took it off, and it's installing happily to the IDE drive.

I'm gonna bag the SATA for now.

Thanks for your help,

Kurt


I'm glad I could help.  As an FYI windows ignores a lot of hardware issues 
until it simply can't run anymore, where FreeBSD is much better at error 
checking.  Of course sometimes that can make it frustrating.


If you can get a decent SATA controller you might try adding or switching 
to SATA in the future, but avoid the Sil ones.

I've experienced this problem too.  My ISP replaced a switch and my FBSD server 
never regained network connectivity.  I had to logon via the console and reboot.

Just a guess - are you using autonegotiation on this NIC? Try to set
media type manually using 'media' and 'mediaopt' ifconfig' flags.

Help! FreeBSD: 88.78 KBps, Linux: 624.95 KBps

2007-07-10 Thread Kyrre Nygård

Hello.

My friend is switching to Linux because FreeBSD is failing on him.

When downloading a file from a FreeBSD box and a Linux box on the same 
network, the FreeBSD box got 88.78 KBps whereas the Linux got 624.95 
Kbps. I have no idea what's wrong, but my man isn't really into good 
information design (e.g. taking something complex and making it easy), 
so his system is a mess. Maybe some of you can help me locate where the 
problem's at?


Thanks guys,
Kyrre

Hi all,

	I have a server in a host service that stopped this morning. After 
a contact with the service support of them, I got the following answer to 
the problem:


[quote]
REBOOT SERVER

Due to a failed switch replacement FreeBSD did not restore the network 
link. This is a farly common issue with FreeBSD.


I restarted the server and it should be back online shortly.
[end quote]

It's a P4-3GHz, with the following, probably on-board, ether card:
vr0:  port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 
0xfdffe000-0xfdffe0ff irq 23 at device 18.0 on pci0


	Is this a really known problem? Is there anything I can do to 
avoid reboot?

I have some (local) servers with FBSD and never had such problem.

I've been meaning to write a handbook chapter about FreeBSD Update for
many months, but haven't managed to find time, unfortunately.  Obviously
if someone else wants to write such a chapter, I'd be overjoyed to review
it and help get it committed. :-)

Yes, of course, sorry; I badly mixed paragraphs of my reply, my answer
was intented to be a recommendation to switch to parallel port and then
to try polled mode.

Well, try parallel port if you can; that is the simple way I resolved
many painful printing problems in the past. I'd also try using
print/apsfilter to configure printcap. Then you should surely know if
it's a usb port issue.

Whilst this syntax will work fine, it requires that the mysql server
allow remote logins - well I already have a nice cryptographically
secure way of allowing remote access, it's called SSH:

cat statements.sql |\ 
   ssh -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'mysql -u -p '

The main benefit of this is that my mysql server now only needs to run
on localhost, and so cannot be touched by any external user. For an
interactive mysql prompt, you'd need either to open up mysql, or forward
a port:

ssh -C -L13306:localhost:3306 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mysql -u -p -hlocalhost -P13306

I have no /etc/rc.local file on this machine.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't lptcontrol(8) deal
with the parallel port printer?  I have USB connected.
Parallel port connection is unfeasible in my situation.

The problem is that in these two chapters of the handbook is not
handling freebsd-update... And if you use freebsd-update you need not
necessarily to do a buildkernel or buildworld.

Hello William,

Do you have any ulpt0 configuration in /etc/rc.local? If the printer
port is interrupt-driven, try polled standard mode, i.e. add

  lptcontrol -p -d /dev/[printer-port]

to your /etc/rc.local. The kind of behaviour you described can occur in
the interrupt mode (including cutting pages, printing them in chunks,
etc.).

Also try to switch the printer to the parallel port; if both can serve
the printer, I'd always use the parallel one.

If this doesn't help, please post here the content of your /etc/printcap
and 'dmesg | grep ulpt0'.

odd HP 1320 printer behaviour...

2007-07-10 Thread William Bulley

I have an HP 1320 (only has USB and parallel support) hooked
to a FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE box using a USB cable.

I have configured /dev/ulpt0 into my /etc/printcap file.

Everything works fine and I am happy with this setup except
for one odd behaviour.  The last page of a multi-page print
job will "linger" - somewhere - while the green light on the
HP continues to blink -- as if data were being sent to it.

The lpq(1) command reports "no entries" when run, and then
about a minute or two later, this "last page" gets printed.

Is there some configuration that I am missing?  Is this an
artifact of the USB protocol?  Is this the way the HP 1320
laser printer operates?  Is this a feature (or bug) of the
USB printer driver /dev/ulpt0 that is not documented?  I've
read the man pages and searched using Google to see if this
is a known problem.  Any suggestions will be gladly accepted.
I can live with this behaviour, but it seems very odd.


Regards,

web...

You have to install a package in order to build it, since the package  
is built from the installed files.  Some level of transformation and  
rearrangement occurs during the install process, so there's no easy  
way to package without installing.


You can look in to using tinderbox (available from ports) to build  
packages inside a jail.

Of course, it's possible. It's the same as you would use it locally,
with added hostname parameter:

mysql -h  -u  -p  < yourfile.sql

(that's basic syntax, check mysql(1) manpage).

make package-recursive

2007-07-10 Thread Karel Miklav
1. This is not possible since files may be generated
   or modified on the fly during the installation
   process.

2. Don't know exactly what you mean, but...

   a. you don't have to install under /usr/local
   b. man jail
   c. cat /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/tinderbox/pkg-descr

There are some nice articles about this on the web.

There is another little know way to create packages, assuming you have 
them already installed on the source machine: The pkg_create command. It 
can create installation packages from the already installed ones. Even 
better, it can create all dependency packages as well in one go with the 
-R option. For example, in my test machine I have the xorg 7.2 
installed. I can create packages for the whole system with:


pkg_create -Rb xorg-7.2

You have to get the exact name of the  installed pkg using the pkg_info 
or pkg_version command, i.e. in the above example pkg_info |grep -i xorg
The utility creates the packages in the directory you are currently in. 
I usually do this /usr/ports/packages


I used it last week to create packages for sudo, bash, xorg, xfce, 
portupgrade and others all of which installed without a hitch on my 
other machines. In fact I plan to create custom CDs with latest packages 
to use on my new BSD installations and spare the endless 
download-compile cycle...


Hope this helps,
Manolis

Yup. The raw DV dump from a camera produces humongous amounts of data.

gdvrecv produces very BIG FILES

2007-07-10 Thread Dino Vliet
Dear all,
   
  I managed to connect my new canon mini dv camera to my firewire port on my 
freebsd amd64 machine and used gdvrecv to transfer the first 2 minutes of my 
first recording (did I mention I really like FreeBSD and I'm so glad it's 
possible t do this first step:-)
   
  However, this 2 minutes recording produced a dv file of +/512MB in size. I 
have a 60 minute casette so in theorie I would get a 15GB dv file? Right? Is 
that normal, to have this big sized files as a result?
   
   
  ps Unfortunately Kino didn't compile sucessfully on my FreeBSD box, so I had 
to revert to my Linux partition and process the file there (I already asked the 
port maintainer of Kino what I could do to get it working on my amd64 system_

I would like to ask to some of you gurus... if you know
some good virtual server service at a low prize.
I know that there are such services around where you can install your own
machine virtualized or real, and manage it remotely and  you have controlo
also on power on and power off switch.
Anyone of you can suggest me a good provider for this service ?
thanks
