Re: need package name for setfacl command
I am saravana, I am using FreeBSD 4.9 Release, in that setfacl command was not found. So I need found source package for that command to compile and use it. Can you send the name link to download the package. I am no expert but from the man page of setfacl I see: HISTORY Extended Attribute and Access Control List support was developed as part of the TrustedBSD Project and introduced in FreeBSD 5.0. That means that ACL were not supported in FreeBSD 4, so even if you compile the command setfacl, you will not be able to use it. Do you really need to stay wit FreeBSD 4.9? Upgrade to 5, or even 6 is painless and highly recommended.

Howdy,
I was successfully able to get Xorg upgraded to 7.2 by just

existing system, BUT I’ve run into a problem…
While running VMWare Server 1.0.3 with FreeBSD 6.2-p5 and Xorg 7.2,
the mouse pointer behaves very oddly.
The pointer appears in the wrong place on the screen for where the
system actually thinks that it is.
I’m using the vmmouse driver part of the Xorg system, as the
regular mouse driver doesn’t appear to work at all, unless some
settings are amiss.
I really like the vmmouse drive because you can move the pointer in/
out of the window as you do with regular windows guest OSes.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and/ or know of a fix for
this?
Andrew,
I just set up VMWare Fusion with FreeBSD and have a problem that
might be related. Ascii art time:

The pointer appears normally on the screen. However, clicking around
the screen does not work except in a small area in the top left
corner. Moving the mouse within this tiny corner seems to scale up
and operate on the entire screen. Eg. if I click and drag across the
tiny corner, I can see the selection appear across the entire
desktop.
Is this similar to your issue? Did you find a resolution?
Sam,
I ran into this problem on FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 with Xorg 7.3 using the
VMWare mouse driver (vmmouse).
Apparently, X server 1.4.0 in Xorg 7.3 no longer calls the
conversion_proc
function in the mouse driver. The VMWare mouse driver depends on that
call to scale the mouse coordiates to the screen size.
As a workaround, I fetched the x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse port and
patched src/vmmouse.c by hand before installing it:

5.4-RELEASE crashing
I upgraded memory in a 5.4-RELEASE server from 1GB (2x512MB) to 4GB (4x1GB). I'm wondering if that can even be causing my problem since nothing went wrong for an entire week. One week later, the server just stops responding in the middle of the night, I can see the login prompt, but cannot type anything, no response to keyboard at all. Since the initial crash one week after the memory upgrade, it continues to do this every couple of days. The crash has happened during the 3-4am time span every time except at 9pm once and then this morning at 9am. So, it seems it may be related to something building up over time. After reset and disk cleanup, I have examined the logs and cannot find anything in the message log, one entry shows my last login activity and the next entry is the start of boot info from the reset. The only thing I find in the logs erroneous is an NFS connection not responding, then alive again, but I unmounted and disabled the entry in fstab before it happened this morning. I'm just trying to figure out how to approach tracking down my crashing issue. Whether it somehow is related to the memory upgrade. The only thing to note about the memory upgrade is on boot, it will say that it is ignoring a small amount of memory over 4GB. Can someone suggest how to approach my problem? -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Doing an fdisk only modifies the slice table and not any of the data or even the partition tables for the slices which are written by bsdlabel. So, it might leave it intact. But, if you are up to experimenting, you might learn something. If you have a good backup of what you need to preserve, then the worse that could happen is you would have to start over from scratch and reinstall both Vista and FreeBSD.

Re: 5.4-RELEASE crashing
At 08:19 AM 1/9/2008, Robert Fitzpatrick wrote: I upgraded memory in a 5.4-RELEASE server from 1GB (2x512MB) to 4GB (4x1GB). I'm wondering if that can even be causing my problem since nothing went wrong for an entire week. One week later, the server just stops responding in the middle of the night, I can see the login prompt, but cannot type anything, no response to keyboard at all. Since the initial crash one week after the memory upgrade, it continues to do this every couple of days. The crash has happened during the 3-4am time span every time except at 9pm once and then this morning at 9am. So, it seems it may be related to something building up over time. After reset and disk cleanup, I have examined the logs and cannot find anything in the message log, one entry shows my last login activity and the next entry is the start of boot info from the reset. The only thing I find in the logs erroneous is an NFS connection not responding, then alive again, but I unmounted and disabled the entry in fstab before it happened this morning. I'm just trying to figure out how to approach tracking down my crashing issue. Whether it somehow is related to the memory upgrade. The only thing to note about the memory upgrade is on boot, it will say that it is ignoring a small amount of memory over 4GB. Can someone suggest how to approach my problem? -- Robert You should verify a few things: Make sure the memory you installed is correct for the motherboard AND the motherboard will handle that quantity of memory. I would run the generic kernel if you can, to see that there are no custom kernel issues. Run memtest or other diagnostic utility to check the memory you installed. If all that doesn't help, check for cron jobs causing a problem, or perhaps run a periodic cron job to provide a log of what is running that you can refer to after a crash. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Howdy,
I was successfully able to get Xorg upgraded to 7.2 by just
installing them from scratch as opposed to trying to upgrading an
existing system, BUT I’ve run into a problem…
While running VMWare Server 1.0.3 with FreeBSD 6.2-p5 and Xorg 7.2,
the mouse pointer behaves very oddly.
The pointer appears in the wrong place on the screen for where the
system actually thinks that it is.
I’m using the vmmouse driver part of the Xorg system, as the
regular mouse driver doesn’t appear to work at all, unless some
settings are amiss.
I really like the vmmouse drive because you can move the pointer in/
out of the window as you do with regular windows guest OSes.
Has anyone experienced similar problems and/ or know of a fix for
this?
Andrew,
I just set up VMWare Fusion with FreeBSD and have a problem that
might be related. Ascii art time:
_
|_| |
| |
| |
|___|
The pointer appears normally on the screen. However, clicking around
the screen does not work except in a small area in the top left
corner. Moving the mouse within this tiny corner seems to scale up
and operate on the entire screen. Eg. if I click and drag across the
tiny corner, I can see the selection appear across the entire
desktop.
Is this similar to your issue? Did you find a resolution?
Sam,
I ran into this problem on FreeBSD 7.0 RC1 with Xorg 7.3 using the
VMWare mouse driver (vmmouse).
Apparently, X server 1.4.0 in Xorg 7.3 no longer calls the
conversion_proc
function in the mouse driver. The VMWare mouse driver depends on that
call to scale the mouse coordiates to the screen size.
As a workaround, I fetched the x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse port and
patched src/vmmouse.c by hand before installing it:

Any idea why this does not affect everyone using vmware?
The problem only shows up with the vmmouse driver in Xorg 7.3. If
you're using an older version of Xorg or if you're using the
standard mouse driver, you won't see the problem.
It sounds like the next Xorg server release will fix the problem.

PowerEdge 860 (Resend)
[Sorry if this is a resend to some -- I do not see that it made it through the first time --- possibly spam filtered due to a DNS problem with my personal domain.] -- Hi all: There are scattered reports in late 2006 / early 2007 of success using the PE 860 w/ the SAS RAID, but not w/o the RAID (normally paired with a non-Xeon). Would anyone be willing to share some dmesg(8) output? W/ or w/o the RAID PERC SAS5iR mfi(4)? RELENG_6 or RELENG_7? Post your dmesg(8) to dmesgd at NYCBUG? Here's an 850 w/o RAID: http://www.nycbug.org/?NAV=dmesgd;f_dmesg=;f_bsd=;f_nick=;f_descr=poweredge;dmesgid=1724#1724 I'm curious how far the 860 is from the 850? Presumably they replaced with bge(4) with bce(4) (They offer both add on BC NetXtreme II 5708 1-Port as well as NetXtreme 5721) and also replaced ICH7 with ICH8 or ICH9, but I'd like to check with other satisfied customers. An OpenBSD dmesg(8) suggests Intel 82801GB IDE http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2007-02/0571.html ...But that's in a model with a SAS5iR installed where the optical disk is attache. The IDE controller may be different with no RAID. The lower-end 850 w/ the Core2 or genuine P4 non-Xeon is essentially desktop-class hardware, so I don't imagine anything too exotic.

Re: Sendmail: exposed root, why?
On Jan 8, 2008, at 5:50 AM, Jerahmy Pocott wrote:
From the sendmail documentation:
There are always users that need to be exposed -- that is,
their internal site name should be displayed instead of the
masquerade name. Root is an example (which has been
exposed by default prior to 8.10).
Is there actually any reason why root needs to be exposed?
The original reasoning was that if you had a network of machines in a
domain, email generated from cron jobs producing output and things
like the daily status report that is sent out would be readily
distinguishable. If you masquerade to hide all of the machine names,
it becomes mildly difficult to identify which machine is sending such
email.
Root is set to an external address in aliases and it really
needs to be masqueraded in order to for it to get delivered,
but would that cause problems with anything?
The mail needs to be considered for local delivery for the alias or
a .forward to send it to an external address.
Whether the From: header has been masqueraded or not is somewhat of an
orthagonal issue, but you might find the comments in /usr/share/
sendmail/cf/README about allmasquerade and masquerade_entire_domain
informative.
How do you stop sendmail from doing this, I don't see any
directive to NOT expose root, only options to expose other
addresses as well.. Perhaps there is a better way to send
system mailed logs to an external address that doesn't send
them from root?
You most probably want to make it so that root email from the set of
machines is forwarded appropriately rather than disabling root from
being exposed. But, if you still really want to do so, you'll either
need to set up a custom domain rather than using generic.m4, or simply
remove the line C{E}root from your sendmail.cf.

Boot Loader Broken?
Hey, I recently upgraded from 6.3-PRERELEASE to 7.0-PRERELEASE. I had some problem with the ports, but I got that taken care of. Now I'm having another very odd problem. I originally noticed something odd when I tried to shutdown from multiuser mode into single user mode. I ran shutdown now as root in multiuser. It said it was shutting down, etc. But then, it gave me the normal multiuser login prompt. So then I tried rebooting completely, and that's where the big error came up: - FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Tue Jan 8 14:22:21 EST 2008) \ \: unknown command - /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x29e868 data=0x2db8c+0x23814 syms=[0x4+0x34c10+0x4+0x43ef1] Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for a command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel] in 4 seconds ... - Why it trying to run the command \ ? Right before I did this, I rebuilt world, including the kernel. I installed the new kernel, and was moving down to single user to install world. Is my bootloader corrupt somehow?

Frequent DHCP requests from Wii
This is particularly a FreeBSD question, but finding that there isn't
a newsgroup for DHCP (and I am running dhcpd on FreeBSD), I'll ask here.
We've got a Wii in the house, and I've got an entry for it in my

which correctly resolves to 10.1.10.145
And everything works fine. However, the Wii keeps on making requests
every few minutes. Here is a bit of the dhcpd logs. The requests
come at irregular 1, 2, 5, and 9 minute intervals in this bit of the

Re: 5.4-RELEASE crashing
Robert Fitzpatrick wrote: I upgraded memory in a 5.4-RELEASE server from 1GB (2x512MB) to 4GB (4x1GB). I'm wondering if that can even be causing my problem since nothing went wrong for an entire week. One week later, the server just stops responding in the middle of the night, I can see the login prompt, but cannot type anything, no response to keyboard at all. Since the initial crash one week after the memory upgrade, it continues to do this every couple of days. The crash has happened during the 3-4am time span every time except at 9pm once and then this morning at 9am. So, it seems it may be related to something building up over time. After reset and disk cleanup, I have examined the logs and cannot find anything in the message log, one entry shows my last login activity and the next entry is the start of boot info from the reset. The only thing I find in the logs erroneous is an NFS connection not responding, then alive again, but I unmounted and disabled the entry in fstab before it happened this morning. I'm just trying to figure out how to approach tracking down my crashing issue. Whether it somehow is related to the memory upgrade. The only thing to note about the memory upgrade is on boot, it will say that it is ignoring a small amount of memory over 4GB. Can someone suggest how to approach my problem? It's almost certain to be bad RAM. Try swapping it out incrementally until the problem goes away, then toss that stick in the garbage :) Kris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Python threading - some ports depend on it, others break with it
Hi guys, I'm having so much trouble with this. I'm hosting a trac based project which is implemented in python and uses an sqlite db backend along with its python bindings. Now it turns out that pysqlite breaks badly (compiles and installs fine but chokes on import, see http://lists.initd.org/pipermail/pysqlite/2006-May/000553.html) if python itself is compiled *without threading* support. However, on the same box I run a postgresql development and testing database and we have some triggers and other functions implemented in pl/python. Guess what? The compile of postgresql-plpython chokes upon configure if python is built *with threading* support. Running it seems to work fine, but there's a reason upstream put this check into configure because supposedly this is known to break things. Chicken and egg - one of my ports insists on python with threads enabled, the other port insists I use python without thread support. My workaround is to compile python without threading, install(or upgrade) postgresql-plpython, then recompile python with threading, install(or upgrade) trac and pray that plpython won't eat my dog when I use it. A really painful and error prone exercise, especially when an upgrade comes along (security or otherwise). I need both of these ports on one box and I'm not sure what to do to sort out this mess properly. Any ideas? What's up with Python's threading support on FreeBSD in any case, why is is broken? To get you an idea of what versions I'm running, the affected postgresql ports are postgresql-plpython-8.2.6 postgresql-server-8.2.6 for the trac dependencies the involved culprits are: py25-pysqlite-2.0.7_1 python25-2.5.1_1 python-2.5,2 sqlite-3.3.8 # peripheral I remember with python 2.4 I had the same endless issues over a year ago so it's not 2.5's fault.

Was there a question in there somewhere? :)
You could try putting a long-ish default-lease-time statement in your
subnet clause in dhcpd.conf. See also the max-lease-time and
min-lease-time statments in dhcpd.conf(5).
If you have those already and the Wii isn't respecting them then that's
an issue to take up with Nintendo. You could also consider setting the
IP on the Wii statically (not sure if that's supported or if you move
it around to different networks at all) or trying to adjust dhcpd's
logging if that's all that's bothering you...

Do you have an entry like:

...in your dhcpd.conf? That might help convince the Wii to keep hold
of its lease for a longer period of time without continuously renewing
it every few minutes. Otherwise, talk to Sega or whoever about their

Nut and RAID on FreeBSD 7.0
Greetings, I have a RAID fileserver plugged into a UPS and nut is able to communicate with it successfully. With the winds making the lights flicker, I started looking into having the computer shut down when power goes out for more than say 5 minutes or so. Looking at the documentation, I found that the 'true' solution is more like the system goes into a safe state when the battery gets low, then the ups eventually dies. When power is restored, the UPS and computer are supposed to both come back to life. This would be a great system to have in place, but it does sound a bit risky and so may not be worth doing just to save my home fileserver. The instructions and the conf file have the shutdown command of 'shutdown -h +0' which will halt the system. The man page for halt says the the disk cache will be flushed, but doesn't mention anything about going to read-only or anything. I suppose my first question is whether or not flushing the cache is sufficient to save the RAID (5) array, or if I need to find a way to get the file systems into read only mode? The second question has to do with a rc.d script that nut recommends creating. The script does a 'upsdrvctl shutdown' and then a sleep 120, basically waiting for the machine to die while in the script. Won't this block the other rc.d scripts? Also, is this the magic part that enables the machine to auto power up when power is restored? Changing the shutdown command in nut to 'shutdown -p +0' looks like the sure fire way to get the system down clean before the power is lost, but if my concerns are not valid, then I could be missing out on some nice functionality for no reason. Does anyone have experience with this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Python threading - some ports depend on it, others break with it
On Wednesday 09 January 2008 19:40:04 Gunther Mayer wrote: Hi guys, I'm having so much trouble with this. I'm hosting a trac based project which is implemented in python and uses an sqlite db backend along with its python bindings. Now it turns out that pysqlite breaks badly (compiles and installs fine but chokes on import, see http://lists.initd.org/pipermail/pysqlite/2006-May/000553.html) if python itself is compiled *without threading* support. However, on the same box I run a postgresql development and testing database and we have some triggers and other functions implemented in pl/python. Guess what? The compile of postgresql-plpython chokes upon configure if python is built *with threading* support. Running it seems to work fine, but there's a reason upstream put this check into configure because supposedly this is known to break things. Chicken and egg - one of my ports insists on python with threads enabled, the other port insists I use python without thread support. My workaround is to compile python without threading, install(or upgrade) postgresql-plpython, then recompile python with threading, install(or upgrade) trac and pray that plpython won't eat my dog when I use it. A really painful and error prone exercise, especially when an upgrade comes along (security or otherwise). I need both of these ports on one box and I'm not sure what to do to sort out this mess properly. Any ideas? What's up with Python's threading support on FreeBSD in any case, why is is broken? To get you an idea of what versions I'm running, the affected postgresql ports are postgresql-plpython-8.2.6 postgresql-server-8.2.6 for the trac dependencies the involved culprits are: py25-pysqlite-2.0.7_1 python25-2.5.1_1 python-2.5,2 sqlite-3.3.8 # peripheral I remember with python 2.4 I had the same endless issues over a year ago so it's not 2.5's fault.

Unfortunately that doesn't help. But I thank you and others for this suggestion. I'll try setting min-lease-time (currently unset) to something like 1200 and see if that helps. Otherwise, talk to Sega or whoever about their DHCP client... You and others have made the same comment. Even if Nintendo's DHCP client is obnoxious, I certainly have a greater chance of gaining a better understanding of what is going on by asking here than by approaching Nintendo.
