How to change the font size in the terminal

Re: Good FreeBSD Supported Gigabit Ethernet Card?
OP said: The use will probably be a firewall, proxy, file server, and DVR. No offence meant, but why would you like to upgrade a home network to Gbit? Is it required at all? Say for instance you have three 'items' on your home network trying to communicate with a central box on your 'home' LAN, and said LAN was operating on 100Mpbs NIC's. The 'home server' is also on a 100Mbps NIC. That gives the home server a theoretical up/down throughput at 200Mpbs. If all three items at home are trying to connect with/through this central box simultaneously, then you now have theoretically 600Mpbs in/out all at the same time. The central server can't handle this, nor can any 10/100 layer-2 equipment in between. Upgrade all the NIC's in all the items on the home network to GigE, throw in a GigE switch, and now you can see how you just cut open the garden hose and now have a small river. Even on the smallest of networks, if you've ever tried to transfer multiple-gigabyte files across it, you will very quickly appreciate the exponential transfer rate when it comes to the relatively cheap 'upgrade' to GigE equipment in the home. Just make sure you're not still using that old Cat3 cable ;) Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

split splits on whitespace, returning a list of fields which can be assigned
to a list of variables. Here we only want to capture the first field: split
is more efficient for this than using a regex. The first occurrence of $key
is in parens because it's actually a list of one variable name.
We build two hashes, one, %name, keyed by the original names (this is the
classic way to reduce duplicates to single occurrences, since the duplicated
keys overwrite the originals), and one, %dup, whose keys are names already
appearing in %names - the duplicated entries. Having done that we use a hash
slice to delete from %names all the keys of %dups, which leaves the keys of
%names holding all the entries which only appear once (and the keys of %dups
all the duplicated entries if that's useful).

Samba/User ID issue for wheel group members - newbie poster
Hello, I have an interesting but frustrating issue that I've not been able to diagnose and/or resolve. Scenario: FreeBSD 6.1 Release fileserver running Samba Desktops are Windows XP SP2 and all up to date, patch-wise, mapping various Samba shares. Problem: When I run smbstatus, all users that are members of the wheel group show a UID of root and a GID of username. Users who are not members of the wheel group show a UID of username and a GID of username. Equally, removing a user from the wheel group reverts them to username/username UID/GID at next logon. I have two sites running essentially indentical hardware/software configurations at both server and desktop level. But on the second site, members of the wheel group have a UID of username and a GID of username, which is precisely as it should be, as far as I understand. I'll take this opportunity to mention that I also have a 4.11 server, again with some wheel group members, and in this case too, UID and GID for these wheel group members are username and username. I've kept this as simple as I could, but would happily provide more info if I've omitted anything critical or relevant. The issue is not causing any specific operational issues, but is annoying when I want to use smbstatus -uusername as I obviously get no result for wheel group members unless I specify a username of root. If there's an obvious issue, and you wish to spare me embarrassment, feel free to contact me directly at averay at adam.com.au, with the obvious adjustments. If etiquette is that a response to the group is appropriate, I can live with the shame :). I've extensively searched but can't find a match to my specific circumstances.

So whenever one is changed it keeps track of the change and can rollback O that is what i am going to use de versioning sytem for... This is just my experiance on this stuff. There are no right or wrong ways to do it, and happily, all kinds of altrnatives. If you only have a file or two, I'd suggest RCS. man rcs should get you going. An earlier version of this book helped me understand RCS well enough to write custom scripts that used RCS on sets of files: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rcs/index.html I've use RCS pretty religiously for system administration...but in fact rarely do I actually refer back to older revisions in practice. I've always just refered to this document: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9367/sam9812a/9812a.htm which has been enough to get me by. The biggest hassle is the $LOGNAME deal which can different depending on how one gets a root shell. Then I heard about CVS, which uses RCS format archive files (so you can use either tool) and provides the set functionality I needed plus more. info cvs is the online resource, but I did better with an earlier version of the book: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html I now use CVS to maintain version control of the configuration files on my various systems. I build a CVS tree which is a sparse mirror of the root file system. Whenever I want to change a configuration file in the live tree, I copy the intervening directories and/or file into the CVS tree, check everything in, make my changes, copy the changed filed back to the original location, test, and repeat the edit/ copy/ test sequence as necessary. When all is well, I check in the file to CVS. As a variation on a theme, I sometimes move the live file and replace it with a symbolic link into the CVS tree. But this approach can be messier when you make a mistake and destabilize the system. YMMV. Using CVS in this way provides for the use cases you've identified, and it also allows me to check out the trees from other machines to compare/ contrast. Best yet is when I rebuild a machine -- restoring configuration is a matter of installing CVS, check out the system configuration file tree, and copying/linking. I tend to use revision control for (software) systems I create or maintain installations of, but find it worthwhile to create a Makefile to actually install the files (and often the system itself.) I find this more flexible in that I can create different targets to do different things, structure my repository differently than the destination, ensure proper ownership and modes of the files, etc. A script would work to, but I happen to know gmake reasonably well. CVS is pretty easy to set up and maintain, and works fine for reasonable source trees in my experiance. CVS is simple enough so that all kinds of games can be played, but often these games (like moving thing in the repository) invalidate revision control at a basic level. My experiance is that people figure out what is possible some time before they figure out what exactly they have done...but also that in practice, it rarely matters. I suspect that there is are open-source projects that already do much or all of what I'm doing with CVS. You might want to look or ask around -- try tripwire. SVN is supposed to be a better CVS, etc.. But as I understand it, SVN assigns a the same version number to every file in a set whenever any one of them changes. I prefer the RCS and CVS approach of numbering each file independently, so I can easily determine which files in a set have changed and which haven't. This ability was critical for me when I was doing kernel/ device driver development and comparing/ using various FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD source files. At the time they all used RCS/ CVS numbering, so it was easy to see what files were the same and what were different between the platforms. I much prefer SVN to CVS after using it some in the context of a somewhat bloated repository...though I prefer it for small ones as well. I very much consider the revision scheme you mention a feature rather than a bug. It almost completely invalidates the need for static tagging among other things. SVN is considerably more complex to install and manage than CVS, but not to bad with ports and a simple mode of access (of which

I think it would be interesting to graph active, inactive, wired, buffer, and cache memory (maybe not terribly useful, but interesting). I can't seem to come up with a way to do so. any of the vm sysctl entries any good? (vm.stats.vm particually.)I seem to recall that these scripts http://freshmeat.net/projects/bgraphs/ did a decent job for memory. I've no great ideas about multiple CPUs though.

Still, it's a worthwhile improvement. As for Why - many home networks have multiple computers sharing large files like music movies and need to move or back them up at reasonable speeds.

how to use iic(4)
I don't know where else to post this, so I'm hoping someone here can spare me a clue. We're building a small board with two AVR Tiny MCUs chatting to each other over an opto-isolated I2C-compatible bus, hopefully at 400kHz. I hope to use the iicbb(4) on lpbb(4) parallel port interface to talk with either of these MCUs for debugging, control and data acquisition. iic(4) says: === The iic character device driver provides generic i/o to any iicbus(4) instance. In order to control I2C devices, use /dev/iic? with the fol- lowing ioctls: Ioctl Description I2CSTART send start condition to the specified device (with 7-bit address) on the bus I2CSTOP send stop condition to the bus I2CRSTCARDreset the bus You may also use read/write routines, then I2C start/stop handshake is managed by the iicbus system. === Does the latter statement suggest that ordinary reads from or writes to /dev/iic? could be performed by redirection of say echo and read from a script? Or is the device only accessible by ioctl from eg a C program? Also, iicbb(4) is a master-only interface. I can work with that, but if anyone knows of any iicbus slave-mode code I'm all eyes ..

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. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? 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.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. 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.

Is best to bite the bullet and get single big central switch. On the internal LAN there are four. There is the big one in the closet where all of the ether ends up. There are two in my office (and really one is effectively just being used as a repeater for convenience of where cables run) and there and there is one in my wife's office (her desktop, laptop and network printer). I may put another switch in the room with the TV and Wii, but at the moment the TV isn't connected to anything and the Wii is on wireless (I'll have to run a cable to that room if I want to do more in there). Eventually I would like to have a proper NAS sharing out home directories. The desktops are all OS X. Some members of the household play with iMovie which involves some very large files. Might be best to leave home directories on individual machines and add network storage that each user has control over. That does seem safer. But I also like the idea of having a log in anywhere give you the same experience. I don't know when I'll get around to setting up the NAS, but many decisions I make today keep that goal in mind. Thus, I am migrating to gigabit on my home network. When I do build the NAS, I will certainly be looking for a good FreeBSD supported gigabit ethernet card. Years ago I bought a Dell PowerEdge 400SC 2.8GHz for about $400 direct. Has an on board 10/100/1000 Intel served by the FreeBSD em driver. Has been completely without issue.

Re: Good FreeBSD Supported Gigabit Ethernet Card?
Steve Bertrand wrote: OP said: The use will probably be a firewall, proxy, file server, and DVR. No offence meant, but why would you like to upgrade a home network to Gbit? Is it required at all? Say for instance you have three 'items' on your home network trying to communicate with a central box on your 'home' LAN, and said LAN was operating on 100Mpbs NIC's. The 'home server' is also on a 100Mbps NIC. That gives the home server a theoretical up/down throughput at 200Mpbs. If all three items at home are trying to connect with/through this central box simultaneously, then you now have theoretically 600Mpbs in/out all at the same time. The central server can't handle this, nor can any 10/100 layer-2 equipment in between. Upgrade all the NIC's in all the items on the home network to GigE, throw in a GigE switch, and now you can see how you just cut open the garden hose and now have a small river. Even on the smallest of networks, if you've ever tried to transfer multiple-gigabyte files across it, you will very quickly appreciate the exponential transfer rate when it comes to the relatively cheap 'upgrade' to GigE equipment in the home.

Steve Thank you for the info regarding reliability. That is my main concern along with price. The only thing I still wonder about is features such as Jumbo Frame, 802.1q, and other support. I gather that every device on the network needs to support these for them to work generally but are any of the features really worth it on a modest home network? -- Oliver Hansen http://www.oliverhansen.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Building a new workstation - dual or quad-core CPU for FreeBSD 7?
Hello, I'm about to purchase a new system for myself. It will dual-boot Windows XP, which will be primarily used for gaming, and FreeBSD 7.0 for everything else. I wanted to ask if the new ULE scheduler will benefit from having four cores on the CPU, meaning that if I have many concurrent tasks, is it able to efficiently spread the load over all available cores? My choices for CPU are either the dual-core E6850 or quad-core Q6600. The latter has lower FSB (1066 vs 1333) and frequency (2.4 vs 3.0), but I'm trying to decide if the addition of two extra cores will bring about noticeable improvements. There are also some issues for gaming, but let's ignore those for a moment. Which CPU would benefit FreeBSD 7.0 the most, which one would you pick? - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I ran an nmap scan and it appears port 80 is open, but when netcat'ing to it and manually passing a request, I get no response.

First time I see this, and since the os mention it to me, I guess it's something important :-) In almost every case I've seen posted to this list regarding sig 11 problems, the response has nearly always been replace memory. Even in a case of my own a few years back, said recommendation fixed my problem. (I think mine was during a buildworld). Aside from that, I've also heard of heat (as already stated this thread), and flaky power supply. While this may be true, 90% of the cases of SIGSEV is programming error, combine that with a publically accessible daemon, it means unauthorized access thread. This is why it's listed in daily and why running the suggested portaudit is a good idea (both apache and php released security releases this week FYI). -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
