Re: Does FreeBSD support UTF-8 locale well?
I use zh_CN.GBK as a tentative solution, It works but not as perfectly as I expected.

Try setting up a wpa_supplicant configuration (and putting WPA DHCP in
rc.conf); that does the proximity-switching for you (and does so for me,
happily).
I don't really know whether wpa_supplicant works with non-security-enabled
(i.e. non-WEP and non-WPA) wireless networks, but I guess there's a switch to
tell it to do so.
I have some 10 diffrent AP in my file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
because I'm traveling often to diffrent locations of our company,
WPA-PSK and WEP, for example:
# Coimbra
#
network={
ssid=x
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=x
}
# Westeregeln
#
network={
ssid=x
scan_ssid=0
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=x
}
in /etc/rc.conf I only have
ifconfig_iwi0=WPA
but in addition I'm using the daemon devd(8) to set the IP stuff
of iwi0 accordingly to the network I'm associating; you need two
files for this:
/usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.conf
notify 1 {
match system IFNET;
match subsystem iwi0;
match typeLINK_UP;
action /usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.sh $subsystem $type;
};
notify 1 {
match system IFNET;
match subsystem iwi0;
match typeLINK_DOWN;
action /usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.sh $subsystem $type;
};
and the work is done in the sheel script /usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.sh
like for example:
#!/bin/sh
#
echo `date`: $0 $* /tmp/devd.out
case $2 in
'LINK_DOWN')
exit 0 ;
;;
esac
ap=`/sbin/ifconfig iwi0 list sta | awk '{print $1;}' | fgrep -v ADDR`
case ${ap} in
'00:04:e2:a1:76:0b')
printf ap [%s] seems to be the Oberhaching office\n ${ap}
/tmp/devd.out ;
#
ifconfig bge0 222.222.222.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig bge0 down
dhclient iwi0
#
# drop and reload the firewall rules
ipf -D
ipf -E
ipmon -Ds
ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules.sisis
ipnat -CF -f /etc/ipnat.rules.sisis
;;
...
*)
printf ap [%s] not known in %s\n ${ap} $0 /tmp/devd.out ;
;;
esac
exit 0
this means when you get associated to an AP and LINK comes UP, the
devd(8) wakes up and runs the sheel script doing all the right work;
works really nice;

my userland over the weekend due to the XOrg 7.3 update. By accident I
updated also OSS port.
My skype now works flawlessly. I found out that there was a mixer bug
for the AudigySE card (I thought something was wrong with my oss mixer
of course since the built in oss ROCKS but I am not using it)
By the way developers did spectacular job with XOrg 7.3. Everything went
smoothly.

Re: 6.2 Headless Installs Don't Seem to Work.
Watanabe Kazuhiro writes: Try: console=comconsole,vidconsole boot instead of boot -h. First, thanks for an excellent suggestion. I tried it and have not been successful so far. During the pause, I hit 6 and got control of the boot process. I typed console=comconsole,vidconsole, hit Enter and then the word boot at which time the booting process resumed. It came up in video console mode, completely ignoring the directive. The FreeBSD Handbook has a chapter on Setting up the Serial Console (24.6), which explains the -h and -D flags, the -D flag allowing for a Duel video and serial console. It also has a very interesting passage, quoted here: -D Toggles single and dual console configurations. In the single configuration the console will be either the internal console (video display) or the serial port, depending on the state of the -h option above. In the dual console configuration, both the video display and the serial port will become the console at the same time, regardless of the state of the -h option. However, note that the dual console configuration takes effect only during the boot block is running. Once the boot loader gets control, the console specified by the -h option becomes the only console. End of quote. That hard lockup I described in an earlier message is not what I thought it was. It isn't a lockup for the whole booting process, but a lockout of the serial console. It is as if the -h flag gets turned off after the boot block runs. Either the -h or the -D flags produce exactly the same results. You do get the serial console during the kernel boot as expected and then it reverts back to the local video console just after the message I quoted in an earlier message that says, Trying to mount /root on /dev/md0. This makes a certain amount of sense even if it is the wrong behavior. The documentation says that only the duel mode should behave this way and then the kernel goes to whatever mode -h told it to use. That is apparently what is not happening. If I do just the console=comconsole,vidconsole I get nothing serial at all. When I install a 6.2 kernel and put that command in /boot/loader.conf, it works on the serial port perfectly. All versions of FreeBSD up to 6 did continue to work via the serial port so that one could do the whole installation via that method so whatever broke was introduced in FreeBSD6 if that helps narrow things down any. Thanks for any further suggestions. I did go ahead and enlist the aid of a coworker on this system so the immediate problem is solved, but I have been experimenting with the CD this afternoon to see if the suggestion solved the problem. It should have so this is a bit strange.

Re: Hard drive RPM
no. they use available space (in sectors) but counted in billions of bytes instead of 2^30 bytes fair enough...but disk's useful capacity will be slightly different after you format it in whatever filesystem you choose with whatever options you choose to format. but we are talking about disk capacity. filesystem is just kind of data on disk, you may access disk without it like my video stream server. actually only 1GB of each disk is allocated for filesystem (mirror+stripe on 8 disks, giving 4GB for / partition), everything else simply contains movies, with catalog as file on / partition. swap partitions are other example but they most often use only small part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup

Seems there is a new driver in ports as of yesterday for nvidia.
Anyone tried it as of yet?
The update alone hasn't done anything for me, but I'm thinking I'm
suffering from an issue not directly related to the driver itself;
stale libraries like Mel suggested, or something.
I just completed an update to xorg-7.3_1 following the procedure in
UPDATING 20070519. Now running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7 and
nvidia-driver-100.14.11 and the reboot still occurs when starting X.
Something else I noticed is that my xorg.conf gets truncated to 0
bytes when I 'startx' and hit a reboot. I can't figure what would
cause this, and it's intermittent (post reboot I'll sometimes see the
file whole whole, sometimes truncated). Must be connected somehow to
the reboot?
On the off chance it had anything to do with stale libraries, how
would I determine which those were and how to right what is wrong? I
don't see anything notable in the output of ldconfig -r, but I'm not
certain I know what to look for. I'll include the ldconfig* related

block drop in quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from 192.168.0.1 to
$ext_if port ssh
or even:
ext_if=rl0
external_addr=192.168.1.11
block drop in quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from 192.168.0.1 to

If you don't need to add a rule but an IP, then tables are your friend.
Example for /etc/pf.conf:
# Placeholder for spammers table, non-routable network IP.
table spammers persist { 192.168.111.111 }
# Block this traffic
block return-rst in log on $ext_if proto tcp from spammers port smtp
Then on the command line:
/sbin/pfctl -t spammers -Tadd ip.from.new.spammer
And to delete:
/sbin/pfctl -t spammers -Tdel ip.from.old.spammer

Re: Multiple NICs - custom protocol development

I've tried a large number of things via rc.conf but when I ping of the cards it is not going out the interface; it just gets looped back. (I test this by disconnecting the crossover cable between the two cards.) My current rc.conf has the following attempt, but this fails. # router_enable=Yes gateway_enable=Yes # Ethernet 1: ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Ethernet 2 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # Set up loop between the two ethernet cards static_routes xtor, rtox route_rtox = -host 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 route_xtor = -host 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1 Can I do what I want or must I have a second development box? What you want to do doesn't make sense; there is no reason to send packets to yourself over a wire. If your machine is sending packets to itself, the best path is over the loopback, and it doesn't make sense to send it over a different path. So you need to examine *why* you want to do that before you can figure out the best approach to your root problem. I do protocol development and testing through a number of different approaches, but for basic development there's usually no problem with letting the packets go over the loopback. For working on something like DHCP, I need separate IP stacks, because that will modify the routing tables differently on the server and the client(s). For that, I find virtual machines (qemu, most recently) to be the easiest and most flexible environment. I have also used environments based on bpf(4) interfaces when I was working with IP stacks that ran separately from the system's kernel.

QEMU and tap problems

I launch qemu like this:
qemu -m 512 -localtime -hda VMs/w2k3.img -net nic -net tap
Windows Server 2003 comes up. If I attempt to use DHCP to configure the
interface in W2K3, I get a several minute pause while it attempts to
contact a DHCP server, finally it fails with the message:
This connection has limited or no connectivity
and windows assigns itself the 169.254.244.101 address.
If I try to manually configure the windows interface, i.e.,
IP: 172.16.1.15
NM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 172.16.1.1
NS: 172.16.1.17
NS: 172.16.1.21
Windows thinks it has connectivity, but I cannot ping the default
gateway from the guest and I cannot ping the IP of the guest from the
host.
So at this point, I have no networking from the guest OS. About the
only thing that I haven't seen on the web is people using wireless NICs
in the host. In my case, I have an atheros chipset connected via WPA2
to my WAP.
All help is appreciated...

I launch qemu like this:
qemu -m 512 -localtime -hda VMs/w2k3.img -net nic -net tap
Windows Server 2003 comes up. If I attempt to use DHCP to configure the
interface in W2K3, I get a several minute pause while it attempts to
contact a DHCP server, finally it fails with the message:
This connection has limited or no connectivity
and windows assigns itself the 169.254.244.101 address.
If I try to manually configure the windows interface, i.e.,
IP: 172.16.1.15
NM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 172.16.1.1
NS: 172.16.1.17
NS: 172.16.1.21
Windows thinks it has connectivity, but I cannot ping the default
gateway from the guest and I cannot ping the IP of the guest from the
host.
So at this point, I have no networking from the guest OS. About the
only thing that I haven't seen on the web is people using wireless NICs
in the host. In my case, I have an atheros chipset connected via WPA2
to my WAP.
All help is appreciated...
I just got tap working with an earlier build of qemu using clues from this site:
http://forums.bsdnexus.com/viewtopic.php?id=1563
Also, I can only get it working when I run it with sudo at the moment
and I have only tried with a wired nic. I have read in some places
that encryption causes problems with tap, but I don't have a link to
where I read it.

Your code is wrong. You cannot do GUI creation / updating outside the
Swing/AWT event dispatching thread. Also, the while(true); is unnessecary
(and a waste of CPU time) because java does not terminate while there are
active threads.
For more information:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/
Example:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame(Hello);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}

Re: Multiple NICs - custom protocol development
First, thanks for the response; It's nice to see some community support. Here is what I am trying to do: I am building a custom MAC protocol for a wireless system that has different software on the head end and the clients. It is not peer-to-peer, While the hardware is being developed I want to use Ethernet as a physical layer. So,I want to use one card running server code and one card running client code initially. Later I will do the checkout with multiple client machines and a single server. If the OS loops a packet back (At the IP layer) before it gets to my MAC layer then I can't test any code. -- Len On 9/20/07, Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Len Gross [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a host on my local 192.168.0 / 24 subnet that works fine in getting to the Internet via a default route.via a wireless connection. I want to develop some custom link protocols and I have placed two Ethernet NICs in the box. I want to be able to send packets from one NIC to the other and maintain the link to the Internet. I've tried a large number of things via rc.conf but when I ping of the cards it is not going out the interface; it just gets looped back. (I test this by disconnecting the crossover cable between the two cards.) My current rc.conf has the following attempt, but this fails. # router_enable=Yes gateway_enable=Yes # Ethernet 1: ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # Ethernet 2 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # # Set up loop between the two ethernet cards static_routes xtor, rtox route_rtox = -host 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 route_xtor = -host 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1 Can I do what I want or must I have a second development box? What you want to do doesn't make sense; there is no reason to send packets to yourself over a wire. If your machine is sending packets to itself, the best path is over the loopback, and it doesn't make sense to send it over a different path. So you need to examine *why* you want to do that before you can figure out the best approach to your root problem. I do protocol development and testing through a number of different approaches, but for basic development there's usually no problem with letting the packets go over the loopback. For working on something like DHCP, I need separate IP stacks, because that will modify the routing tables differently on the server and the client(s). For that, I find virtual machines (qemu, most recently) to be the easiest and most flexible environment. I have also used environments based on bpf(4) interfaces when I was working with IP stacks that ran separately from the system's kernel.
