Thanks. Depends on the protocol your phone uses to access the net. For PAN connectivity (which is the default Bluetooth way of Internet connectivity), FreeBSD currently doesn't ship with a daemon that implements the server-side of it. I implemented a quick 'n dirty hack implementing the PAN protocol which works fine with my Sony Ericsson (M600i) mobile, but YMMV when getting that to run/work with different phones: http://btpand.beenic.net You'll have to get a mercurial client to check it out, and read the README contained in the archive to get it to run (requires tap support in the kernel and needs you to set up the bridging/routing to get the traffic from the tap device to your local network). -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [RFC/P] Port System Re-Engineering (Repost from -ports@)
As has been hashed out in -ports@ over the last few days there is at least a need to examine weither or not the current ports system should remain as is or potentially be re-engineered in the future (estimates if and when needed vary from ASAP to 10-15 years). I have volunteered to undertake a feasibility/pilot project to examine what changes (if any) are needed in the system (for the purposes of this thread I will not venture any of my own suggestions). I have the following broad questions for people: 1. What is more important to your personal use of FreeBSD (the ports system, the underlaying OS, some other aspect)? OS first and ports second, I came using the ports after few years building from source. 2. How frequently do you interact with the ports systems and what is the most common interaction you have with it? Weekly? Installing and upgrading when needed. It really depends on the machine too. 3. What is the single best aspect of the current system? It is very consistent regarding the installation hierarchy. It may be different from the default used by one very product (example Apache under /usr/local/apache by default, but in /usr/local/etc/apache in FreeBSD), but it is consistent inside FreeBSD. 4. What is the single worst aspect of the current system? Some problem of compatibility in dependencies when the system has 1000+ ports. 5. If you where a new FreeBSD user how would your answers above change? If you where brand new to UNIX how whould they change? Dunno, I am not new :) 6. Assuming that there was no additional work on your behalf would you use a new system if it corrected your answer to number 4? Yes. 7. Same as question 6 but for your answer on question 3? ??? 8. How long have you used FreeBSD and/or UNIX in general? Unix: 15+ years, FreeBSD: hummm, 8 years? 9. That is your primary use(s) for your FreeBSD machine(s) (name upto 3)? Production servers for every thing (web, mail, file, DNS...) 10. Assuming there is no functional difference what is your preferred installation method for 3rd party software? portinstall or sudo make. When there are problem of compatibility I always end up doing the install manually. 11. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the best) please rate the importance of the following aspects of the ports system? a. User Interface 3 b. Consistency of behaviors and interactions 9 c. Accuracy in dependant port installations 10 d. Internal record keeping 9 e. Granularity's of the port management system 8 12. Please rate your personal technical skill level? Medium to high.

So, I am not sure which utility to recommend for dividing the disk. If it is FAT, then a couple of free utilities come with FreeBSD that might work (I haven't tried them), but if it is NTFS, then they will not work and you will need to get something else. Partition Magic 7.0 will work fine, but I don't know where you would get a copy nowdays. There is another utility out there called 'Partition Commander' I haven't used it, but might, after I get my PM 8.0 mess cleared up. There are also some good Linux-based Live CD's that are essentiall Partition Magic clones, one is GParted Live CD and the other is Parted Magic. They are very small iso's that pretty much just have a small window manager and some sort of disk partitioning tool like parted. I have used them to partition disks with great success. I knew there were some others out there now, but haven't had time to go looking. The free ones that come with FreeBSD are OK too except they don't work with NTFS type slices and that is what you get with most new machines nowdays. If you want to keep that NTFS system, then you have to get a utility that will work with it. Thanks for the pointers, jerry Good luck!

mfsroot issues
Hi! I'm trying to set up a TinyBSD mfsroot image with which to upgrade a machine remotely. I've run into a few problems along the way, though. First of all, I cannot seem to get the kernel to use the preloaded mfsroot as the root device as long as the boot disk's /etc/fstab has a root listed. It will always use what's listed in the boot disk's fstab, despite settings in loader.conf. Am I missing something? (rootdev=md0 or /dev/md0 or ufs:/dev/md0 or...) Second, gzipped mfsroots seem to be corrupt when loaded, but fine when used uncompressed. Does the loader need special compile or runtime options to properly understand and expand gzipped mfsroots? The mfsroot is a naked UFS filesystem image, without slice table or bsdlabel.

problem with dual disk/ dual boot installation
hi, below is my original question and the response I received (I'm not yet subscribed to the list, so I found this only in the archive. sorry for breaking the thread. If you care to respond, please CC me directly). ===CUT dear list, today I've tried a very first installation of 6.2 on the second disk of an i86 machine which runs windows xp professional 2002 service pack 2 on disk one. initially, I erroneously did _not_ select installation of the boot manager on the first disk (were windows resides), but only on the second (the BSD one). after the intallation was completed without any apparent problems I noted my mistake (well, the machine was booting windows ...) That setup sounds OK if you set the bios to boot the second drive, instead of the first. The FreeBSD boot-manager is very basic, it can only boot a local partition or chainload another drive, which is why you often need a copy on each disk. In your case Windows will chainload directly, since you have a standard MBR on the first drive. Your problem is that the bios is not booting into the drive with manager on it. ===CUT meanwhile I used the `freesbie' liveCD and booted the machine into FreeBSD this way. I then wrote the MBR with fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0 fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad1 to both disks. as far as I understand the handbook this seems the only thing necessary to allow correct operation of the boot manager. on reboot (now, of course, without the liveCD...) I now see the boot manager (which previously did'nt show up at all), but the only available option is F1 DOS i.e. the bootmanager seems not to recognize the FreeBSD installed on the second disk. I tried the same (writing boot0 to the MBR) with `boot0cfg' but to no avail. I can mount both disks from within the `freesbie' booted FreeBSD. especially, the second disk (ad1) seems to contain the FreeBSD installation as it should: the whole file tree is there and 4 partitions (ad1s1a, ad1s1d, ad1s1e, ad1s1f) are recognized/mounted. what am I doing wrong? how can I get the bootmanager to recognize the second disk as FreeBSD-bootable? if I can't get the boot manager to allow selection of dos _and_ freebsd, is their a way to enforce exclusive boot from the second disk (not that this would be an ideal solution:-))? thanks in advance joerg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with wireless on 7.0 BETA3...
I've just installed 7.0-BETA3 on my laptop. It was running 6-STABLE, but rather than buildworld etc. I opted for a fresh install from CD (subsequently updated to catch the security notification). It's a cheap Dell Inspiron and doesn't come with wireless, so I use an Asus WL-167g USB adaptor, which is supported natively by the ural driver. This line from rc.conf would initialise the network on 6-STABLE: ifconfig_ural0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid channel 11 wepmode on wepkey 1:0x?? deftxkey 1 I have the router set to use WEP (ural didn't support WPA in 6-*) and not to broadcast the ssid. After installing 7.0 it took over an hour of experimenting to get the network back up. I eventually had ifconfig showing all the correct setting, but still failing to associate. After much fiddling I set the router to broadcast the ssid and changed the ifconfig line to: ifconfig_ural0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid bssid 00:14:bf:94:1e:75 channel 11 wepmode on wepkey 0x?? deftxkey 1 I found that if I didn't put the options in just the right order, it wouldn't pick up the right settings. Can anyone shed any light on what I did wrong? Or how I can get 7.0 to connect without having to broadcast my ssid to the world? Thanks for your help.

I imagine the driver is just checking the RAID but I just want to make sure. mfi0: 1054 (248259950s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn will start in 5 hours mfi0: 1055 (248278020s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn pending: Battery is under charge mfi0: 1056 (248281790s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn started mfi0: 1057 (248281855s/0x0008/0) - Battery is discharging mfi0: 1058 (248281855s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn in progress mfi0: 1059 (248289340s/0x0008/1) - Current capacity of the battery is below threshold mfi0: 1060 (248289340s/0x0008/1) - BBU disabled; changing WB virtual disks to WT mfi0: 1061 (248289340s/0x0001/0) - Type 21: Policy change on VD 00/0 to [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=00,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] from [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=01,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] mfi0: 1062 (248290360s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn completed mfi0: 1063 (248290375s/0x0008/0) - Battery started charging mfi0: 1064 (248290375s/0x0008/1) - Current capacity of the battery is below threshold mfi0: 1065 (248291805s/0x0008/0) - Current capacity of the battery is above threshold mfi0: 1066 (248291805s/0x0008/0) - BBU enabled; changing WT virtual disks to WB mfi0: 1067 (248291805s/0x0001/0) - Type 21: Policy change on VD 00/0 to [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=01,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] from [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=00,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] mfi0: 1068 (248303895s/0x0008/0) - Battery charge complete mfi0: 1069 (248583600s/0x0020/0) - Patrol Read started mfi0: 1070 (248583600s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 0% seconds 0s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 0.00%(0s) mfi0: 1071 (248583600s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 0% seconds 0s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 0.00%(0s) mfi0: 1072 (248583727s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 10% seconds 127s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 10.00%(127s) mfi0: 1073 (248583727s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 10% seconds 127s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 10.00%(127s) mfi0: 1074 (248583855s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 20% seconds 255s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 20.00%(255s) mfi0: 1075 (248583855s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 20% seconds 255s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 20.00%(255s) mfi0: 1076 (248583992s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 30% seconds 392s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 30.00%(392s) mfi0: 1077 (248583993s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 30% seconds 393s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 30.00%(393s) mfi0: 1078 (248584124s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 40% seconds 524s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 40.00%(524s) mfi0: 1079 (248584125s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 40% seconds 525s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 40.00%(525s) mfi0: 1080 (248584279s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 50% seconds 679s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 50.00%(679s) mfi0: 1081 (248584279s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 50% seconds 679s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 50.00%(679s) mfi0: 1082 (248584421s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 60% seconds 821s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 60.00%(821s) mfi0: 1083 (248584422s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 60% seconds 822s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 60.00%(822s) mfi0: 1084 (248584573s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 70% seconds 973s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 70.00%(973s) mfi0: 1085 (248584574s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 70% seconds 974s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 70.00%(974s) mfi0: 1086 (248584732s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 80% seconds 1132s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 80.00%(1132s) mfi0: 1087 (248584733s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 80% seconds 1133s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 80.00%(1133s) mfi0: 1088 (248584927s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 90% seconds 1327s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 90.00%(1327s) mfi0: 1089 (248584928s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 90% seconds 1328s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 90.00%(1328s) mfi0: 1090 (248585167s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 100% seconds 1567s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 100.00%(1567s) mfi0: 1091 (248585168s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 100% seconds 1568s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 100.00%(1568s) mfi0: 1092 (248585168s/0x0020/0) - Patrol Read complete Regards, Terry http://www.sucked-in.com Have you been sucked in? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

GBDE and GELI security
I've read reports to the effect that GBDE is vulnerable to online dictionary attacks unless two-factor authentication is used. The only such report I can find now is this discussion of NetBSD's CGD, where its author contrasts it with GBDE: http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/6384 Is this still the case? Are there any other security concerns related to GBDE's implementation that you might mention? How well does GELI stack up against GBDE?

What is best method to debug freezes/hangs?
My question is how best to go about debugging sporadic freezes and hangs. Just looking for general methods.On a couple of our IDS systems there are sporadic hangs or freezes that occur every couple weeks or so, that are recoverable by either system reboots or taking out and reinserting the Gig fiber ethernet sniffing cables, but I never can find anything in /var/logs/messages to tell what is going on. I'm assuming that may have to compile in kernel debugger support, but from what I read briefly, doesn't that require an actual crash with the resultant reboot and a debugger readable file left in /var/crash? That doesn't happen, there is no automatic reboot just a freeze/hang (box falls off network and at the console unable to type until one of the two above mentioned measures are take.

I'm running a portupgrade -rf gettext, and didn't previously have gpg2 installed. -Dan -- this is too stupid even for irc -mtreal, EFnet #macintosh, 09/15/2K, 12:33 AM Dan Mahoney Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: looking for online text editor

Is there some plain text editor program out there that will allow me to simply login and edit my files in plain text - (not a gui html editor) ? I use putty to ssh to remote servers and use vi to edit files once logged in to the server. But putty has be installed on the machine you are working on, right? Not necessarily. When you go to the download site for putty and click on the .exe (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe), Windows will ask you whether you want to download the program or run it. Tell Windows to run it. It may give you the odd warning but eventually it should start up a putty window. (It's possible even this can be locked down tight on a Windows box - but usually it isn't blocked).

./configure question for AIX
I have a question on compiling Nagios' NRPE on AIX (which I'm assuming would be similar to FreeBSDl, as I'm trying to use Autotools on ksh). I'm used to always running tar -zxfv file.tar.gz, but this time I had to run (I think) like tar z and then tar xfv to get it unzipped. In that directory, I then ran ./configure and then make all, and I'm hoping someone here might help point me in the right direction. ./configure --prefix=/opt/nagios --enable-command-args --without-ssl make install When I do this, I get an error about Boutell's GD library is required to compile the statusmap, trends and histogram CGIs. Get it from http://www.boutell.com/gd/, compile it, and use the --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc arguments to specify the locations of the GD library and include files. Ok, that's cool. But am I on the right track about how to install this on AIX? Once I installed this GD library and ./configure with the right parameters, will this work in AIX? (Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask this question, as I tend to be spoiled by Linux packages. If not, I can take it elseware) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD NFS server Linux clients
I'm trying to get some opensuse 10.3 clients to access nfs shares on a FreeBSD 5.5 server. It works fine most of the time, but every so often when using big programs like openoffice firefox, the program will stop responding for a couple of minutes. After doing some googling, I enabled lockd statd enabled on the FBSD server - before I did that, those apps wouldn't even start without massive delays. I still get these occasional lockup while using the apps however. Interestingly, other apps seem to be able to access the nfs shares even while the 'big' apps have stopped responding. Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix or even troubleshoot this problem? My rc.conf on the server looks like: portmap_enable=YES rpcbind_enable=YES rpc_lockd_enable=yes rpc_statd_enable=yes nfs_server_enable=YES nfs_client_enable=yes mountd_flags=-r Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
