Re: PS/2 problems
Hi Tanner, On 27/07/07, Tanner Currie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I just installed FreeBSD 6.2 and it's working great except my keyboard (PS/2 connected) cuts in and out. I tested the keyboard which works perfectly on another machine. It will work fine for 5 or 10 minutes and then it cuts in and out (it also beeps sometimes before it dies). I was suspicious of a purely physical problem but sometimes it will be completely unresponsive and 30 seconds later it will puke out everything I was trying to type. I also plugged in a PS/2 to USB adapter thinking I could try a different door but that was completely dead (I don't know how to diagnose the USB connection). Any advise? I don't remember that a PS/2 keyboard contains some sort of buffer that can store several key presses. What you describe sounds as if some part of your kernel locks up. Maybe you've got an interrupt problem somewhere, or some other piece of hardware is broken. Firstly, what configuration do you have? Are you using a GENERIC kernel, or one you compiled on your own? In case you built your own kernel: Does this happen when you switch to GENERIC, too? What HW are you on? An output of dmesg would be great here. Is your system networked? If your answer is yes here: When the problem occurs, are you able to access the machine from another computer? E.g. does it respond to anything from a remote machine?

Re: awk question
awk '{print $(NF-1)}' user.csv
Yup, those blank lines will kill it for sure. A sed filter to
remove blank lines ahead of the awk statement should allow it to
work properly.
Or awk only i.e. no sed:

Re: make and gmake on FreeBSD
Hi. See below. Lots of software sources are configured with GNU autotools, which is why a lot of third party software will only compile with GNU make. In the case of dealii, not only are its sources configured with autotools, but I looked at their docs and at http://www.dealii.org/developer/index.html you can plainly see that they use GNU make, version 3.78 or later. I'm not sure where the confusion is ... but it seems like you think you have to invoke GNU make under the moniker 'make'. But you don't, it's just a Linux convention to have GNU make installed as 'make'. The root of confusion is not in FreeBSD :) but in my thinking. I totally forgot about the existence of BSD make untill it came back to me: During installation of ATLAS some shell script or C program calls 'make' by the name make, and I totally forgot it can be not the 'make' I called the build process with. After I was explained about it (by ATLAS people), everything went just fine.

RE: Please Help with Confusion about ipfw rules.
I use the sample ipfw rules with keep state as shown in the handbook
firewall section.
People on this list don't have ESP so they can't read your mind about what
rules you have coded.
Posting your ipfw rule set will go a long way to getting a response from
readers of this list.
That being said I recommend you read the ipfw section of the handbook and
use the sample rules listed there.

Subject: Please Help with Confusion about ipfw rules.
This is a situation where I thought I knew more than I
actually do. I set up a new domain name server with a
client-type firewall after having tested it first, but there is
nothing like hundreds of thousands of packets per hour to show
the weak spots.
I made the mistake of setting up keep-state rules both
coming and going and I now see ipfw complaining frequently about
too many dynamic rules. All I am really trying to do is give
crackers a lot of nothing to look at when scanning the ports on
the system. It isn't doing any NAT or routing, etc. I am not
sure if I really need any keep-state rules. The DNS needs to be
accessible to the world and be able to talk to the world on port
53 and that is all as far as bind is concerned.
What I am confused about is when I actually need
keep-state rules and when a simple rule like:
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to ${ip} 53
and
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${ip} to any 53
That theoretically should leave port 53 wide open to all types
of in-bound and out-bound traffic.
Fortunately, the new system is still working, but I am afraid we
might be dropping some packets so I need to modify the port 53
access.
Thanks for your help.

Xvnc query to gdm failing
Hi all, I'm trying to use VNC to log into my FreeBSD laptop from another laptop [why? to learn how], but I'm stuck. I'm logged into gdm using display 0, typing this email at the keyboard that's physically attached to the gdm box. I'm getting the grey screen problem when I log in remotely though. The VNC client connects to Xvnc fine, but the gdm login client does not appear on the VNC display. A quick netstat -an | grep 177 shows port udp/177 in LISTEN mode, as expected. I figure perhaps it's a user permissions problem. I'm using xinetd to run Xvnc as user nobody, so perhaps nobody has no access rights to gdm? The only problem is, I can't seem to find gdm.conf. It doesn't exist on the system. The command sudo find / | grep gdm.conf yields nothing. Where is it storing its settings if not in gdm.conf?

they do work fine. They just aren't meant for the kind of load

If you use the keep-state directive, high traffic can
basically kill ipfw by running it out of dynamic rule space.
People on this list don't have ESP so they can't read your mind about what
rules you have coded.
But they can read down to where it says:
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to ${ip} 53
and
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${ip} to any 53
It turns out that I didn't catch on to the need for supporting
the reply traffic that each of those two rules generate. This
stateless set of rules solved the problem and does not use up
dynamic rule space.
${fwcmd} add allow ip from any to ${ip} dst-port 53
${fwcmd} add allow ip from ${ip} 53 to any // allow reply traffic
${fwcmd} add allow ip from ${ip} to any dst-port 53

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

Re: updating mysql database
Although MySQL has worked very hard to ensure a high level of quality, protect your data by making a backup as you would for any other software beta release. MySQL generally recommends that you dump and reload your tables from any previous version to upgrade to 5.2.

freebsd pear port
Hello list, I've written an email to Pear port maintainer - but had no answer. Is there anybody who can advice on below. Many thanks, Tofig.

We both got halfway there, thus yielding a complete solution. For some reason gdm.conf exists in some versions of gdm before 2.18, but not in 2.18 itself. Guess who updated recently? :D Presumably users were having terrible difficulties with a file called gdm.conf. Possibly it was confusing or something. Anyway, the gdm devs changed it to custom.conf in /usr/local/etc/gdm/ and I'm sure they were right to do so. Sigh. Hey, I said something pretty stupid... I said the UDP port was in LISTEN mode. Of course UDP ports normally wait for datagrams, not listen for connections. Although as I understand it UDP sockets can be configured for streams.

Re: Can't burn cds
I had trouble getting CD burning to work, but the FreeBSD Handbook had the info I needed to get it to work. I had to modify my fstab and in order to use k3b, I had to mount the CD on the command line first. It won't work if the CD is not mounted first, it's not as easy as it is in Linux, but it works. Have you read the k3b pkg-message? You can find it in k3b port directory. It contains detailed step-by-step instructions about how to allow a non-privileged user to mount what they need.

emacs22 and portsdb
Hello, We've been having a problem with generating the ports Index ever since upgrading to emacs22. As per /usr/ports/UPDATING, we added EMACS_PORT_NAME=*emacs22* to /etc/make.conf Everything went fine. Now running emacs22. But ever since, our daily routine of cvsup'ing and portsdb -Uu has gone south, first with this error: lsdb-*emacs22*-0.10_1: /usr/ports/editors/flim-*emacs22* non-existent -- dependency list incomplete === devel/lsdb failed *** Error code 1 1 error and now today this: Updating the ports index ...

Perhaps we should be doing a portsdb -Fu instead of -Uu? (that works when I tried it) I'm not sure, because according to the portsdb manpage, If you define special macros in /etc/make.conf and the dependency of some ports are changed, you should create INDEX by yourself by using this option. Otherwise, using -F option is recommended since it is much faster. but we do have that EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 in /etc/make.conf, so I'm not sure. We are also not sure what the implications are of doing a portupgrade -a or portinstall after after a failed portsdb. Some of our ports are getting out of date, and we're not sure what to do. Also, I'm not sure if EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 even needs to stay in /etc/make.conf after upgrading. I just did a fresh install of FreeBSD a new server yesterday, and emacs22 was installed by default when I did my portinstall emacs anyway, so is there any sense in keeping it in make.conf on boxes where I've upgraded? On one test machine, I took that line out /etc/make.conf, and portsdb -Uu works again, so any guidance on this topic would also be appreciated.

Remote Execution of sudo Command Hangs.
We have 3 FreeBSD systems. One is trying to use ssh and sudo to run commands on two other systems. The remote command being executed is: ssh remote.system.domain sudo dhcpreset dhcpreset is an expect script most of which is shown here: spawn $env(SHELL) expect -exact \# send -- date\r expect -exact \# #body start send -- cd /usr/local/etc\r expect -exact \# send -- /usr/local/etc/zap dhcpd\r expect -exact \# send_user Stopped [exec hostname] dhcpd at [exec date +%y%m%d%H%M%S ].\n\r send -- /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -q \r expect -exact \# send_user Partially restarted [exec hostname] dhcpd at [exec date +%y%m%d%H%M%S ].\n\r send -- tail -1f /var/log/syslog\r expect -exact peer moves from communications-interrupted to normal send -- $CONTROL_C #body end expect -exact \# send_user Fully restarted dhcpd at [exec date +%y%m%d%H%M%S ].\n\r send -- date;exit\r expect eof The script works perfectly if you run it from a login shell on the system where it actually lives as in: sudo dhcpreset. If you run it via ssh from a remote system, however, it runs, produces the proper status messages and does its job and then . . . . . . You have to hit a Control-C to kill off the ssh connection which doesn't drop on its own. I think my script must somehow make sudo not see the exit. Even though you see the dhcpd -q process started as a background process, dhcpd daemonizes almost immediately and you even see the completion message in a log of the activity so it isn't that. Besides, it exits properly when called locally. Other remote commands using sudo properly exit. Any idea how I might figure out what is hanging things up? If you do a ps on the remote system, the expect script has ended. On the calling system, you still see ssh to the remote system. Reading the expect manual shows an exit command but also says that it is implied when the end of the script is reached. I have tried it with and without that command at the end with no effect. Thanks for any other suggestions for making this command terminate when done. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

burncd and driveropts=burnfree?
I recently installed FreeBSD 6.2 release and see there are two programs for burning CDs: burncd and cdrtools (cdrecord). My CD-RW drive is ATAPI. I looked through the online manpage for burncd and saw nothing comparable to driveropts=burnfree, which I use in Linux with cdrecord. So how would I achieve this buffer-underrun protection with burncd in FreeBSD? Or would I need to use cdrecord with kldload atapicam (taking from another current thread on this list)? As far as I could see, Linux and NetBSD use cdrecord, and there is no burncd. I have burned CDs, data only so far, from Linux but not from any other OS. Under FreeBSD, am I better off with burncd or with cdrecord?

ELI passphrase on boot with USB keyboard
Hi, I recently purchased a new USB keyboard, since my old PS/2 one has seen its best days. This has caused me annoying problems with my ELI disks, though. I have four SATA harddrives, all of which are encrypted using ELI encryption. I've encrypted the raw disks, ad0, ad1, ad2 and ad3. The resulting devices ad0.eli, ad1.eli, ad2.eli and ad3.eli, I've concatenated into a large device, cc0, on which I have several partitions. To get this working, I of course need to boot from a separate device, and for that I use an SD card, which holds a boot directory. With my old PS/2 keyboard, this worked like a charm, but it seems to me, the ukbd driver isnt activated until after the ELI encryption, which means I'm unable to enter the passphrases for the disks, thus I can't get the computer passed the first passphrase prompt. Currently I have both the old keyboard and the new USB one connected. I use the PS/2 one to enter the passphrases, then I put it on the floor under my desk and use the USB keyboard. As you may very well understand, this is quite annoying. Is there a way to get the USB keyboard to work at the point where I enter the passphrases? I've tried to change the keys for the disks to not use a passphrase, but only keyfiles and load them from loader.conf, just as described in the GELI man page (yes I did set the -P option), but that simply will not work (and to be honest, it's not a solution I'd favour); if I set the -b option (ask for passphrase on boot), it still asks for the passphrase, though there is none, and if I set the -B option (don't ask for passphrase on boot), the computer ends up at the mountroot prompt. I'd appreciate any help.

Re: ELI passphrase on boot with USB keyboard
Written by Rolf G Nielsen on 07/27/07 15:21 Hi, I recently purchased a new USB keyboard, since my old PS/2 one has seen its best days. This has caused me annoying problems with my ELI disks, though. I have four SATA harddrives, all of which are encrypted using ELI encryption. I've encrypted the raw disks, ad0, ad1, ad2 and ad3. The resulting devices ad0.eli, ad1.eli, ad2.eli and ad3.eli, I've concatenated into a large device, cc0, on which I have several partitions. To get this working, I of course need to boot from a separate device, and for that I use an SD card, which holds a boot directory. With my old PS/2 keyboard, this worked like a charm, but it seems to me, the ukbd driver isnt activated until after the ELI encryption, which means I'm unable to enter the passphrases for the disks, thus I can't get the computer passed the first passphrase prompt. Currently I have both the old keyboard and the new USB one connected. I use the PS/2 one to enter the passphrases, then I put it on the floor under my desk and use the USB keyboard. As you may very well understand, this is quite annoying. Is there a way to get the USB keyboard to work at the point where I enter the passphrases? I've tried to change the keys for the disks to not use a passphrase, but only keyfiles and load them from loader.conf, just as described in the GELI man page (yes I did set the -P option), but that simply will not work (and to be honest, it's not a solution I'd favour); if I set the -b option (ask for passphrase on boot), it still asks for the passphrase, though there is none, and if I set the -B option (don't ask for passphrase on boot), the computer ends up at the mountroot prompt. I'd appreciate any help. Sincerly, Rolf Nielsen Try setting hints.atkbd0.disabled to 1 in the loader, or in the device.hints file.

The best answer is don't set EMACS_PORT_NAME in /etc/make.conf -- emacs22 is the default now anyhow.

Sorry for replying to myself, but I forgot to mention that this server
is actually running inside a jail. I have no idea if that has anything
to do with it. I also have other services being started from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (lighttpd, mysql, and a few others), but this
fastcgi script is the only one that fails to work.
One other thing to add... I moved the script from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
to /etc/rc.d/ and it works perfectly. Didn't change a thing other than
where the script is running from. All my rc scripts in /etc are also
unmodified.
Is it really the case that no one has seen something like this before?
Why would a script run from one location, but not from another?
Especially given the fact that other scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
are being executed normally.

Re: Abit VP6 Mother Board no USB

Any suggestions? Chris Maness 1. Check that the BIOS a) has USB support turned on, b) has PnP support properly setup (ASUS for instance has a non-PnP capable USB setting where the BIOS arbitrates USB usage and resource configuration, but since FreeBSD is PnP capable I turn that option off). 2. Make sure that you have correct USB support compiled into your kernel (just compile in ehci, ohci, and uhci in case). 3. Try a 7-CURRENT snapshot disk and see if USB support works or not. More information would be helpful as well if those suggestions don't work (what version of FreeBSD are you running, exact motherboard specs, etc). Thanks, -Garrett I am such a retard. I took your advice and scanned through the BIOS, and I saw where USB needed to enabled. That is wierd that USB is turned off by default. I had to reset the CMOS after changing a battery. Thanks, Chris Maness No problem. Silly mistakes happen to everyone ;)..

Re: USB Mouse not Working
Chris Maness wrote: Adam J Richardson wrote: Chris Maness wrote: I am having issues getting my USB mouse running. I don't get any error messages of the sort, and when I do #cat /dev/ums0 I don't get any funny garbage like I normally do out of a IO device. (That is after I kill moused). Any suggestions? I had this. I had to start some daemon before starting X... what was it now... devd? usbd? psmd? moused? Something like that, anyway. And I had to specify the mouse port IIRC. You know, something like moused -p /dev/ums0. Adam J Richardson I tried that, but I get nothing. Should I expect to see garbage from #cat /dev/sysmouse and then move the mouse around? Can you do that in console mode, and see if that gives you anything? Chris Maness moused(1) with usbd(1). Don't forget to compile uhid, ums, and all other dependent drivers into the kernel, either statically or as modules (man ums, uhid will get you on your way here). Try moused with auto detection, using /dev/ums0. If you don't see anything about a USB mouse being attached in dmesg, you don't have the right drivers compiled for your kernel. If you do, moused / usbd hasn't been setup yet. cat /dev/sysmouse will yield you the info you seek in the end, but you should try /dev/ums0 first, because that will work regardless of whether or not moused is started. Good luck :), -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Remote Execution of sudo Command Hangs.
Hi Martin, On 27/07/07, Martin McCormick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have 3 FreeBSD systems. One is trying to use ssh and sudo to run commands on two other systems. The remote command being executed is: ssh remote.system.domain sudo dhcpreset dhcpreset is an expect script most of which is shown here: [Script removed] The script works perfectly if you run it from a login shell on the system where it actually lives as in: sudo dhcpreset. If you run it via ssh from a remote system, however, it runs, produces the proper status messages and does its job and then . . . . . . You have to hit a Control-C to kill off the ssh connection which doesn't drop on its own. I think my script must somehow make sudo not see the exit. Even though you see the dhcpd -q process started as a background process, dhcpd daemonizes almost immediately and you even see the completion message in a log of the activity so it isn't that. Besides, it exits properly when called locally. Other remote commands using sudo properly exit. Any idea how I might figure out what is hanging things up? If you do a ps on the remote system, the expect script has ended. On the calling system, you still see ssh to the remote system. Reading the expect manual shows an exit command but also says that it is implied when the end of the script is reached. I have tried it with and without that command at the end with no effect. Thanks for any other suggestions for making this command terminate when done. Try using pseudo tty allocation with your ssh command, it's the -t option. So, use ssh -t remote.system.domain sudo dhcpreset as the command. If this doesn't work directly, you can even try several ts. I had best results with -ttt. If this still doesn't work, try using nohup dhcpd -q as command.
