Re: setting X11BASE
LOCALBASE is /usr/local unless you've changed it (but then you would already know what it was if you had.) You can find its value in /usr/ports/Mk/ grep LOCALBASE?= /usr/ports/Mk/* /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:LOCALBASE?= /usr/local Aha! In case it matters, I have not upgraded to the modular Xorg, and would prefer not to go through all that. It ain't broke ... ... if you want to stay with the old system, you're probably going to need to put USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE?=/usr/X11R6 in your make.conf file to keep your ports from breaking in interesting ways ... Aha! again. Read /usr/ports/UPDATING carefully before proceeding. I did, but only as far back as the last time I updated, and I skipped entries which were identified as affecting ports I haven't installed or don't use ... including the modular xorg which I'm trying to avoid. (I figure it can wait until I do a clean install, on a different machine, using 7.0 when it comes out.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* What is the value of LOCALBASE? I'm not finding any

Just set it to ${LOCALBASE} verbatim. Not what you think is the
value of the variable LOCALBASE but the word ${LOCALBASE}.

I'm finding it especially interesting that /etc/make.conf, which
to judge from its location is part of the base, depends on a setting
from something in the /usr/ports tree.

True, but your portstree is now 'broken', because support for how
it used to work is being phased out, like the whole X11BASE thing.
I think if you upgrade anything that depends on xorg, you'll find
dependencies being pulled in that are part of the modular xorg,
unless you really know what you're doing.
... which is why I am trying to install portmaster before doing
anything else. I may try pkg_tree also, if it doesn't lead into
a dependency maze of its own.

Re: FreeBSD diskless workstation and over the network installation via PXE

I found the docs I could find on the internet way obsolete back in 2005 when I played with it, and I am not aware that these has been updated. I wrote my own guide to make up for this, however, this may now also be obsolete as it's been some time since I played with this. My main problem with diskless is that FreeBSD mounts memory backed filesystems for /var and /tmp which waste a lot of precious RAM if you have restricted memory. And a feature, useless in diskless operation, prevents mounting /var and /tmp from a server. I checked the Free BSD Handbook (Chapter 29) where extensive documentation on setup is outlined, but it assumes that the PXE/TFTP/NFS/DHCPd servers are FreeBSD; mine is a CentOS; just want to support diskless PXE boot for my clients. Section 29.7.2.9.2 9Usning a Non-FreeBSD server - just indicates that do a tar/cpio of root; but ensure that special files in /dev are taken care of ... There is no problem serving files from a non-FreeBSD server, however things are easier, as you need to build all applications served via NFS for FreeBSD. This mainly affects you if you want diskless clients, you need to keep these updated. For installation this is not a concern. The /dev is not a problem, the diskless client mounts a /dev locally, it is not a real file system. - does anyone have this type of scenario setup? if so, can you please share with me your insights/cheat-sheet-how to? http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/index.html - i'd be interested in understanding the setup of how you handled copying the /dev files into your exported ROOT directorty ...

duplicate message removal
We have a bunch of FreeBSD 6.x servers which we administer remotely. As part of that we get the normal root job mails emailed to a mailing list which the admins(mostly me) can inspect at leisure and also use for historical purposes. Trouble is many of the emails get huge because of repeated messages typically stuff like xxx.yyy.com login failures: Feb 22 20:07:54 app3 sshd[56886]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for 216-194-26-66.ny.ny.metconnect.net failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! etc etc All these servers are running denyhosts, but we still see lots of these messages.

No, the ports tree uses make(1), a base utility and the global configuration
file for make is /etc/make.conf. So the ports tree depends on a base utility.

Well, there's two things you can do:
Attack the problem:
Install sysutils/grok on the machines and start it with following config:
file /var/log/auth.log {
type ssh-illegal-user {
match = Invalid user %USERNAME% from %IP%;
threshold = 5; # 5 hits ...
key = %IP%;# from a single ip ...
interval = 60; # in 1 minutes
reaction = /sbin/pfctl -t sshscan -Tadd %IP%;
};
type ssh-scan-possible {
match = Did not receive identification string from %IP%;
threshold = 3;
interval = 60;
reaction = /sbin/pfctl -t sshscan -Tadd %IP%;
};
};
If you replace:
my $TAIL = tail -0f;
with
my $TAIL = /usr/bin/tail -0F; # capital F
in grok, you will never have to look at it again. Else you will have to
restart it whenever newsyslog(8) rotates the auth.log.
Note that this uses pf, and assumes the table sshscan is blocking table.
I'm sure it can be done with other firewalls as well.
Attack the report:
daily_status_security_loginfail_enable=NO /etc/periodic.conf
Then write your own and put it in /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/. I've
written something similar with php for mail rejects, that groups sender or
hostname and error message together, but any scripting language that you're
comfy with should work.

gmirror on slice
Hello people,
I'm trying to set up a gmirror on two slices, but I am stuck
somewhere. I am unable to find out what is wrong. Here's what I have
done so far:
I have 2 disks in the box. I have created 2 slices on both of them
(ad{4,6}s1 and ad{4,6}s2) through sysinstall. (btw,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72895cat= is really
annoying, lucky I had a remote console :-))
Now I want to initialize gmirror on slice 1:
ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
ha-db1# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
kern.geom.debugflags: 0 - 16
ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
for additional information, I am including the following:
ha-db1# fdisk -vp ad4
# /dev/ad4
g c1453521 h16 s63
p 1 0xa5 63 72340632
a 1
p 2 0xa5 72340695 1392803370
ha-db1# disklabel /dev/ad4s1
# /dev/ad4s1:
8 partitions:
#size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 104857604.2BSD 2048 16384 8
b: 25165824 1048576 swap
c: 723406320unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit
d: 25165824 262144004.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
e: 20960408 513802244.2BSD 2048 16384 28528

Re: Re: tape splitter
2. Outputs chunks in specified directory. You can configure it to write directly to tape, but it's not the best solution. 3. Can be configured to write only N chunks and after that wait for SIGUSR1 to write next. 4. Can be configured to write MD5-digest of every piece in separate file. I use it to make 45Gb backup on the DVD's every week at Friday. It takes approximatelly 30 minutes of my time and 6 hours of real time (i need to replace DVD's and write labels on them). It takes 12 DVD's and cost 6$. If you tapes is not very huge ( 4Gb) you will be better to use DVD's. Write once DVD is available ~0.5$ is you bought 100 at once. DVD is more reliable then tapes, and you can just put old backups on the shelf for long storage. For daily delta-backups you can use few DVD-RW. i have 100GB tape drive. thanks for your program! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Unable to compile anything from ports
Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 6.3 onto a new machine.
I cvsup'd ('src-all' and 'ports-all', RELENG_6_3).
I then set some /etc/make.conf parameters (CPUTYPE=c3, CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe,
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe), rebuilt both world and kernel (no changes were made to
the kernel file GENERIC), and installed both of them.
I have a fully working system. If I do a uname -a, I get something like
the following...

All indications suggested everything was fine.
I then intended to install a number of packages from ports, so I switched to
root. I usually use portupgrade, so I then tried the following...
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make install clean
As part of the install, it tried to install lang/ruby18, but it failed.

Apache-2.0+PHP5 does not like MySQL-5.x ...
After a long process of figuring out what went wrong, httpd was using a ton of resources when it received a HUP signal (log rotation at midnight). Subsequently, php -v was dumping core things pointed to mysqli.so. Long story short, I downgraded to mysql-4.10, recompiled php5 and dependencies and walla, no more problems. Though I didn't specifically figure out the problem, I'm pretty sure it's MySQL related as that was the only thing that was changed on this system (apart from recompiling dependencies to support the new API). I wonder if someone has run across this and if so, have you found a bug or a solution.

You deleted part of the startup messages, so we can't see what you have at IRQ 9. Go back and look at either dmesg(1) output or /var/log/messages to find out what device(s) interrupt(s) at IRQ 9. Then check for anything weird about the device activity. Thanks for the reply, I didn't post the whole dmesg as I couldn't see an irq 9 in the listing - sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Re: setting X11BASE
* What is the value of LOCALBASE? I'm not finding any
definition, or other reference, in /etc/make.conf.
Just set it to ${LOCALBASE} verbatim. Not what you think is the
value of the variable LOCALBASE but the word ${LOCALBASE}.
Academic interest :)
I'm finding it especially interesting that /etc/make.conf,
which to judge from its location is part of the base, depends
on a setting from something in the /usr/ports tree.
Well, actually it doesn't. What gives you this impression?
Paul Schmehl reported where LOCALBASE is set: in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
Now I'm being told to add this:
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE}
to /etc/make.conf, so that /etc/make.conf needs LOCALBASE to be set
in order to set X11BASE correctly. Is that not a dependency?

You assume make(1)'s variable assignment is done on encounter base at runtime.
It isn't:
# echo LOCALBASE=/usr/local /tmp/foo.mk
# echo 'X11BASE=${LOCALBASE}' /etc/make.conf
# make -f /tmp/foo.mk -V X11BASE
/usr/local
# echo LOCALBASE=/tmp /tmp/foo.mk

You're looking at it in the reverse of what it really is.
LOCALBASE is set in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk so that *ports* know where
to install stuff. And X11BASE needs to be set to ${LOCALBASE} in
/etc/make.conf because *ports* need to know that X11BASE has changed from
the previous default of /usr/X11R6.
A dependency is a program that a *port* requires to function properly, not
a *location* where ports install their files.

[Wireless] Can't connect to wlan
Howdy, I've been trying to connect my laptop, running 7.0-RC3, to my wireless network but It Isn't Working. Wpa_supplicant can find the network ok and ifconfig shows the correct SSID, authentication mode, protocol, BSSID etc. However, it also says no carrier. So needless to say DHCP cries no link and fails. Any idea what the problem could be here? If you need more information, let me know and I'll cook up a more elaborate message, but I thought I'd keep it short at first, so as not to swamp the list with lots of output right away. Any help will be greatly appreciated because at the moment I'm stuck with Vista if I need the Internet and I don't like Windows... Alphons -- All right, that does it Bill [Donahue].

Re: [freebsd-questions] Re: Unable to compile anything from ports
This clearly points at a compiler bug, with the VIA cpu, but since world/kernel build cleanly and anything else bugs out quite early, I would suspect an optimization bug. This may have nothing to do with it, but little story... We used to buy whiteboxed machines, and as a test we would build world and compile perl. One time world was fine, perl failed, and would always seem to fail in the same spot. The company replaced every part and narrowed it down to the power supply. Once they changed that out, perl compiled fine. The next box had the same problems, perl stopped compiling in the same place, and found out they re-used the power supply. Changed it out, perl compiled. We convinced them to throw away the power supply (I'm sure someone else ended up with it). May be nothing of the sort, but just wanted to relay a weird experience we ran into.

I'm going to assume you're using WEP, in which case the nr.1 cause with wpa_supplicant is that you're trying to use wepkey1 rather then wepkey0.

It may take a while to gather all the data, commands, output, dmesg greps etc. though. To be continued, Alphons Did you read the handbook about wireless support. The chapter is very well written. The first thing I would make sure is that you have proper drivers loaded into the kernel. Generic kernel doesn't contain drivers for wpa support. wpa supplicant file looks good. Other things to notice is that some Wi cards do not support WPA or/and WPA2:-( if I remember correctly. Make sure your WiFi router is in Wi mode. We had people trouble shooting WiFi network for hours just to realize that they use WEP. Do not use WPE unless you set up IPsec or OpenVPN. I would definitely set IPsec even with WAP or WAP2. You might want to turn off the PF until you configure thins.

Not many use VIA cpu's, so I think it would help a lot if you'd do a send-pr. Include a full dmesg so the CPU flags can be seen. The default on FreeBSD is to compile with -O2 now, so either cc should disable the specific optimization for which there is no matching CPU instruction internally, or via CPUTYPE or similar constructs, the optimization flag for this should be turned off. -O2 is a collection of optimizations that can be turned on/off individually. -O = -O1 is a smaller set, -O0 turns it off entirely. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
