When i open a spreadsheet, i get a warning message about macros, when i click on OK, it hangs at that point. Has any one experienced this? Any one know to resolve this. Thanks.

AD is nothing more than a big database accessible over LDAP. You connect to the LDAP database, and when you are authenticated you get a kerberos token. Clients use SRV records to check for AD services. SRV Records are supported by BIND. It is possible to run AD and have your DNS/AD zones on a BIND DNS server. I believe you can even find whitepapers from Microsoft for this. Of course certain features are Microsoft specific. And this is something you would need in a company full of Windows boxen. And don't tell me I can throw away Windows and install FreeBSD on hundreds of clients (with so varying hardware that even Windows has problems sometimes). Xorg + openoffice? Why not?

Are you sure you really meant that? Just checking again before starting spitting out things where FreeBSD can not replace Windows server. yes. I meant that. We are talking out of the box Windows 2008. What kind of functionality are you talking about? At work I use windows a lot. Windows 2003 R2, SCCM, SQL 2005, SCOM, Exchange 2007 and all the other latest stuff from Microsoft. But for all these applications I can use also Freebsd and applications found in ports. Besides, the point was that the TS wanted to start using somethign else than windows to learn more about OS in general. PPl stick to Windows because they are afraid for change and a learning curve.

I know this is trivial but if somebody could offer any suggestion or resource I, and my career, would greatly appreciate it Reasonably easy stuff that'd teach you something useful and *be* immediately useful, all at the same time, would be: 1. Set up a document management server using Subversion. The idea is that you commit a directory you use for your personal documents to a version control system so that whenever you update the documents, you can have both the current and all previous versions recoverable from the server in case of disaster or a desire to roll back some changes you've made. A Google search string that should help for getting it set up is: subversion document management Since it's probably not cheating to have someone point you directly at a link for something on MS Windows, I'll just give you a direct link to an article I wrote a while back about setting up TortoiseSVN on MS Windows. TortoiseSVN is a client for Subversion, and can be used to make use of your personal document management server from a Microsoft Windows client, if you don't have a FreeBSD desktop or laptop system available. The URL is: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-3513_11-6172851.html 2. Set up a backup server. There are several excellent tools for this that automate most of the process. Popular choices include Backula, rsync, and dump. With some tools, you may want to schedule their operation by use of cron -- which means you'll probably be learning at least two separate tools. Since there are so many different means of setting up a backup server, I'll leave it to you to figure out what search strings to use. 3. Set up a remote filesystem integrity auditing server. Tools such as mtree, Tripwire, and rsync can all be used for this purpose. I've even written articles about the use of these tools for these purposes. You should be able to find them with Google search strings like the following: mtree integrity auditing rsync integrity auditing tripwire integrity auditing I chose these three server types in particular because: 1. They're things you can't do very effectively on MS Windows without tracking down third party software to buy, copy, or download via your browser to install on the system with great annoyance and difficulty. 2. They're relatively easy (with the possible exception of using tripwire or getting really fancy with the configuration of some of these), unlike other things MS Windows doesn't do so well (like setting up a stateful router/firewall, which can easily get fairly complex). 3. I've done them all, and they're all only a very brief shell command away from installing on the system (assuming you have the full CD set or a broadband Internet connection). 4. None of them require use of the X Window System, so you can set them all up and manage them using nothing more than a command shell via SSH. 5. They can all be immediately useful for you, whereas something like a firewall you're setting up without a specific need for a firewall system probably cannot. NOTES: 1. I haven't mentioned the single most useful bit of help you can get for finding out how to get things running in FreeBSD. I'll give you a hint, though; FreeBSD is the OS whose user documentation is the absolute best, in my experience. I haven't used all available OSes, of course, but I've used quite a few. 2. I can't swear that the results you get from the above recommended Google search strings will give you the information you need. They're just ideas off the top of my head for how to get started on searching. I have not tested those search strings for these purposes. 3. Anything I intentionally leave out of this email that might be helpful (such as URLs that lead directly to various resources that give step-by-step instructions on achieving certain ends with FreeBSD), I left out because I wouldn't want to be accused of cheating by simply handing over the answers when you have obviously been given a challenge by your brother.

ZFS + NFS problems
Hello People, I have a webserver with a ZFS pool for storing all the user data. So all the users have their own filesystem with a quota set. With exporting the system I ran into some problems with NFS though. At other machines I can mount the user specific shares resulting in an 80-line fstab per machine or mount a higher dir. But that last option results in all the dirs and files in it mapped to root. So is there a solution to that last problem or will I need to use something else? As the share also gets mounted with Linux machines a server-side solution is prefered. -- Greetings, Ruud Althuizen pgpG9kcbUFbFf.pgp Description: PGP signature
Replacing Windows with FreeBSD (was: my brother is making me learn FreeBSD...)
Hey Patrick, AD is nothing more than a big database accessible over LDAP. You connect to the LDAP database, and when you are authenticated you get a kerberos token. Clients use SRV records to check for AD services. SRV Records are supported by BIND. It is possible to run AD and have your DNS/AD zones on a BIND DNS server. I believe you can even find whitepapers from Microsoft for this. Of course certain features are Microsoft specific. So you are saying that merely setting up an OpenLDAP server with proper DNS configuration and Kerberos authentication could replace Microsoft AD controller? How about a group of controllers with all the failover features? Group policies? Are you sure you could do that just with a bit of tweaking? If there are Microsoft specific features, than FreeBSD can't do anything Windows server does and more. I am really skeptic about joining a Vista into such a domain. I would really love to see ONE guy who achieves that. To _completely_ replace Windows server with all its features with FreeBSD Anyone? Xorg + openoffice? Why not? Of course the TCO will increase, training etc. It is simpler for the majority of us to stick to windows. Sorry, but OpenOffice is more featureless than MS Office 2007. There are things which you can do with MS Office so MUCH easily than with OpenOffice. For feature comparison see: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=480 Not to mention performance issues with OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/product/docs/ms2007vsooo2.pdf And not to mention, that running Xorg prevents a company from running many other software (specific to some environment, for example here in Slovenia we have many small companies which develop various business software - from business directories to phone books, dictionaries, ... practically none of them can run under Windows). Being a company it is difficult to choose where you live. You could say just don't run that software but I can't say that to users. Because they need that stuff. yes. I meant that. We are talking out of the box Windows 2008. What kind of functionality are you talking about? The most important thing: we are talking about ordinary users not a bunch of math professors who want to run every application from a shell. And those users want to use things nicely. For example, let's look at the mail system. You could put a Postfix+amavisd-new+spamassassin+Horde+postfixadmin+ ... bla bla stuff on your FreeBSD server (I actually run this on many servers). But in that webmail, you are not able to manage your spam quarantine for example - you have to logout of Horde and login to Maia Mailguard (before you have to install that too), which is complicated for users. The problem of mail is then cut to so many little pieces that it may affect user efficiency. The problem with concatenating so many opensource products is that it is hard to make them work together like a charm. Microsoft usually (!) provides that (naturally, because it produces all those pieces). How about group policies? How would you do that with FreeBSD server? Group policies are THE thing you need when managing greater amount of workstations. At work I use windows a lot. Windows 2003 R2, SCCM, SQL 2005, SCOM, Exchange 2007 and all the other latest stuff from Microsoft. But for all these applications I can use also Freebsd and applications found in ports. Probably you use it more than I do, I really run FreeBSD servers mostly. And I have problems with providing nice-packaged, easy-to-use, all-in-one software to users who are used to that. I use FreeBSD/OS mostly because it is free of charge and because it is quite costumisable. If MS products would be free of charge, I would probably switch to them in most cases. I would just keep the OS scene for our math professors, because you just _can't_ use non-OS software at universities. :) Besides, the point was that the TS wanted to start using somethign else than windows to learn more about OS in general. PPl stick to Windows because they are afraid for change and a learning curve. I totally agree here. And I agree that it's good to check other things too, even if it is for learning only. Not only good, I think it is necessary for a good admin. I just don't agree with the statement, that Windows servers are completely inferior to FreeBSD and you could replace all of them with FreeBSD boxen. If that would be possible, I would do it already. I really am a FreeBSD guy, I run it for more than 6 years now and I like it a lot. But I learned to be reasonable and not to say that it is in every way superior to everything else in the world.

Planing hardware / software for a potential gro wfs…
Hello, I am planning to setup various services (including mail server, DNS server, hosting / web services) that could potentially grow in a very important way. As a resonable person - I would like to plan It for my actual needs (suiting the first year of exploitation = 1Tb) and after that eventually grow the file system using the most simple and less anoying solution… I wanted to have your point of view on the potential way to build the best hosting solution, knowing that most important things are: - Use (if possible) a 100% compatible FBSD solution. - Also be compatbile with other flavor of Unix (Linux,…). - Offer an expandable and simple to manage solution for storage. - Figure out a good solution for backup. Today I have 2 solutions in mind: 1. Use a blade system including 2 or 3 blades at first with an external attached storage device (whom type has to be defined); 2. Use various servers on their own and dispatch services accordingly on each server. 3. Another solution… I wanted to know: - If anyone has been using blade system with FreeBSD and what problem he has been facing? - If you have some specific advise regarding File System configuration or options? - What storage solution you find best and easiest to manage?

Removal of a USB device would be forwarded to devd(8). But since the device is no longer there at that moment, you cannot unmount it anymore. You might get a nice kernel panic for your efforts, though. ;-) The FreeBSD disk subsystem was simple not written with removable devices in mind, because they didn't exist back then. Until that code is fixed (which is hard) you _have_ to unmount before you pull the device out. One (not bullet-proof) workaround might be to use the automounter [amd(8)], and have it unmount very quickly after they stop being active. This requires setting both the 'cache_duration' and 'dismount_interval' options in amd.conf(5) to very low values. Roland So by active you mean device access? Or device physical connection? If its simply access, than that would be perfect- user enters the mount point, reads or writes a file, amd times out after X secs and dismounts the device. Physical could be a bit harder... Also, what docs/how-to's would you suggest for AMD? I looked at the man and some freebsd doc pages, but another viewpoint would help. Specifically some more docs on the settings you mention. Bullet-proof is not exactly necessary- nice, but not critical. Suggestions for bullet-proof are very welcome though. What is the worst that can happen if dismounting is not entirely successful?

In all honesty, I'm not sure FreeBSD (or any other OS, for that matter) is suitable for 'barely literates'. A computer is not a toaster. snip One (not bullet-proof) workaround might be to use the automounter [amd(8)], and have it unmount very quickly after they stop being active. This requires setting both the 'cache_duration' and 'dismount_interval' options in amd.conf(5) to very low values. So by active you mean device access? I mean access to the auto-mounted directory, or files therein. Or device physical connection? If its simply access, than that would be perfect- user enters the mount point, User needs to plug in the device first! And it is actually worse. Depending on if and how the usb device was set up, you need to use the device daX[sY], where X depends on how many other da devices are already in use, and the optional Y depends on how it was sliced (partitioned in DOS parlance). Furthermore, you need to know which kind of filesystem is used. Most thumbdrives are msdosfs, but larger ones might be ntfs as well. For msdosfs, I use: 'mount_msdosfs -m 644 -M 755 -o noatime -o sync -o noexec -o nosuid $DEV $DIR' Also, what docs/how-to's would you suggest for AMD? I looked at the man and some freebsd doc pages, but another viewpoint would help. Specifically some more docs on the settings you mention. I've never used amd, so I can't help you there. :-) Bullet-proof is not exactly necessary- nice, but not critical. Suggestions for bullet-proof are very welcome though. What is the worst that can happen if dismounting is not entirely successful? Keeping in mind that this is mostly a desktop system. Last time I tried unplugging a USB device before unmounting it I got a kernel panic.

Jittery PS/2 Mouse in 7.0-RELEASE
I have a PS/2, wired, optical mouse that I have been using flawlessly with Windows and several Linux distributions for years now. I would like to switch to Free BSD, but the mouse becomes very jittery within FreeBSD. I have tried the mouse with both moused and X controlling the mouse, but in both cases the result is the same. The cursor on the screen tracks properly when I move my mouse in a wide arc, but when I move the mouse in small increments the cursor does not follow the mouse at all. This makes it very difficult to click on small targets such as an OK button. Relevant Information: uname -a output: FreeBSD kienjakenobi 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #3: Sun Mar 16 15:45:08 EDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 dmesg mouse output: psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [ITHREAD] psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3 xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol PS/2 Option Device /dev/psm0 Option Emulate3Buttons no Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection This does not seem to be a problem with X for several reasons. First, I use this version of X.org with Linux with the same config that is shown above without this problem. Second, when I give control of the mouse over to moused, the problem does not change. It is visible even in the console when using moused. I am using a custom kernel, but this problem does not change even when I am using the GENERIC kernel. Based on this information I think I have crossed out most potentional porblem locations, but I hope I missed something. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So how would you explain that I am seeing same type of behaviors in

Dunno. But the troubles cannot originate from the xorg ports, or
everyone would see the same behaviour, right?
Maybe some other port, or hardware (maybe your video card? - just
guessing), or the driver for that particular piece of hardware.
One would expect so, but it would appear not to be the case. I'm having
the same problem - if I ssh in from another box I see the Xorg process
sucking 100% CPU and the state is *GIANT
I would very much like to see a process using 100% CPU :)
What CPU ? I haven't seen GIANT on Xorg for a while...but, again, I don't check
all the time :d
anyway... my xorg sits at 7.81% on select...i've been on this session for 17
hours, and have a heavily loaded xfce session with 10 virt desktops. I actually
recently removed the lower limit for cpufreq to drop the freq and i've been
hovering @ 200 Mhz (measured once a second in gkrellm), although right now I'm
between 800 and 1000 Mhz.
could you please send your xorg.conf ?
have you tried attaching ktrace to xorg in those situations and seeing what it
is doing ?
what about other system vitals ? is your disk trashing ? RAM usage?
I'm using an ATI card but people are having the same issue with nVidia
and Matrox cards. My box has run every version of Xorg since it replaced
XFree86 on FreeBSD and many versions of XFree86 before that without this
problem.
Also, the problem seems to come and go for me as I update my ports, i.e.
the box has the problem, I run ``portmaster -a'' and the problem goes
away. sometime later I run ``portmaster -a'' again and the problem
re-appears. Only seems to happen when X-related stuff gets updated.
maybe if you can pinpoint WHAT gets updated it would be of more help :)
the ati drivers had several updates over the last few months...
The other thing I've noticed is, on my box at least, that the problem
always starts when I move the mouse (not every time of course) so could
it be Xorg 7.3 not playing nicely with the mouse driver - or the USB
driver since my mouse is a USB one? Which may explain why some people
see the problem and others don't?
I'd like to see a count of hands ... who DOESN'T use USB mice or
built-in-mice-in-laptops nowadays...
by any chance you wouldn't have the xcomposite extension enabled... ?
This is really becoming a big PITA.

Hi Gary,

from the message above, it seems that the plain text auth method is not
supported (anymore?) by your smtp server. And therefore it failed to
authenticate you it doesn't *necessarily* mean the password changed - it
could be the server got upgraded and the new default is to not accept
auth in PLAIN (ie, now it wants CRAM5, TLS, etc).
The best way to see what happens is to run ethereal (or tcpdump...) and see
exactly what the server is answering back - i don't trust what the mail
software reports..in most cases the server messages are crammed into a few
pre-packaged options that obscure the real issue.

7.0-STABLE hanging while running Xorg with nv driver
Hello, I recently upgraded a system to 7.0/amd64 from 6.2. More accurately, I freshly installed 7.0-R on it, then csup'd to -STABLE. This system worked fine using nvidia.com's Xorg drivers with Xorg 6 on 6.2, and after installing 7.0 and building -STABLE, things seemed to be going well also. Once I started Xorg with kdm/KDE however, the system would (usually within 1-5 minutes after logging in) hang. I tried gdm/gnome with the same results. This was using the nv driver that was included with the system. The hang would occur after some level of activity had occured - once during openoffice startup, once during seamonkey startup, once after opening and then closing KDE's control center and then opening an xterm... The exact symptom was that the system (including network stack) would hang - I couldn't ssh to it, or ping it, or even toggle the caps lock/num lock LEDs on the keyboard. The mouse cursor was, however, still responsive on the screen. I found this very strange. It's a USB mouse. Unfortunately because it hangs in this way, I can't get a meaningful dump or anything of that sort. My next step was to start Xorg using the vga driver. I was unable to reproduce the hang using the vga driver, however the max resolution and depth is of course unbearable for even short-term use. ;) This leads me to believe that the issue may be with the nv driver. I'm also getting an error out of Xorg, which you can see in the attached xorg_err.txt file. I also have suspicions towards how acpi assigns the interrupts and such to the video controller. The video controller is a GeForce 6200 in the PCIEx16 slot. I have tried to start without acpi (both turning it off in the bios and instructing FreeBSD's boot loader not to load it, however it seems that FreeBSD can't find anything without acpi now - it couldn't mount root, or do other useful things.) A few things that changed between my old build and my current system... * 7.0 seems to support (or more fully support) this system's ACPI. It's an nvidia nf4u chipset. The support was either non-existent or very limited in 6.2. * I was using i386 before, but went to amd64 with 7.0. * I'm using the nv driver for Xorg instead of the ones from nvidia.com. * Xorg 6 - Xorg 7, and all other software up No hardware has changed.

if you don't have that, discuss with your DC about what they can provide in an

ANN: 'tbku' 1.115 - Backup And System Imaging Tool
'tbku 1.115 is released and available at: http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tbku/ What Is 'tbku'? === 'tbku' is a utility for producing tarball backups of some- or all of your files. It is useful both for producing incremental backups or for systemwide images or snapshots. The tool can be run either from the command line or, more typically, as a cron job to automate system backup tasks. 'tbku' can also be used to capture system images which can then later be used to (re)provision other machines. The distribution includes explanations of how to image systems from a tarball produced with 'tbku', using FreeBSD and SUSE Linux as examples. 'tbku' uses standard utilities common on Unix-like systems, like 'tar', 'sed', and 'uname'. It uses no other special or custom tools. For this reason, it is highly portable across many variants of these systems. 'tbku' was originally developed as a backup tool for FreeBSD servers. Since then, it has been updated to also work with SUSE Linux, both servers and desktops. 'tbku' should work with little- or no modification on any other Unix-like system. For example, 'tbku' will run without modification (other than default locations) in a cywgin environment under MS-Windows. There is no charge for the use of 'tbku', but please take a moment to read the licensing terms. WHATSNEW For 'tbku' 1.115(Wed Mar 19 18:29:31 CDT 2008) -- First public release of program and docs.

Re: my brother is making me learn FreeBSD...
It's been my experience that finding drivers for hardware created for open source operating systems by developers within the communities is quite easy, while such community doesn't exist for windows and you are 100% reliant on the vendor to supply working drivers. If they supply crap drivers, go out of business and stop providing any, etc, you are simply out of luck, while with an open source model it is likely that someone will have kept development going if the vendor ever even did produce drivers for those systems. There's very little in the way of modern hardware that isn't supported by FreeBSD. The one time I ever ran into unsupported hardware, a quick update of -STABLE brought the necessary support in the driver. The fact is that political BS aside, for 90% of workers, FreeBSD/KDE/openoffice/firefox will meet their needs just as well as windows, and in fact if you start with something like PC-BSD --- Chad Perrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 09:18:25AM +0100, Nejc Å koberne wrote: everything you run on windows can be run on Freebsd and more.

For certain server use, I would spend $ on that rather than a hardware RAID card (but would use software RAID if I cared about the data in the server...) if you don't have that, discuss with your DC about what they can provide in an emergency - ie, sometimes I've just opened a ticket to get a console attached for a few hours (when I setup some extra software RAID and need to drop to console, for example), but don't have one attached ALL the time. Again, depends on what you want to spend...but it's important that you think of those things in advance and know which path to take to resolve issues that may arise. Right - I am sure they will be able to offer something. They are not very big but very flexible. We have been with them for sometime and we're happy about their service so that's why we are moving to a dedicated service. They would normally offer us a complete (configured) Fedora to use but I have grown to appreciate FreeBSD and don't want to stop using it. So they said they could make an initial install for us and then we would be on our own with the server. I am thinking now, with two identical drives - at which point should I be making gmirror? I have yet reading to do but I am trying to picture now where this process fit in? After you install the OS or while installing it? Would serial console mean I would be able to install FBSD remotely just as if I was there looking at the screen?

Re: Best way to achive email hosting for several domains
You could have your imapd authenticate against
something other than /etc/passwd, and map the
usernames in said other authentication mechanism to
the appropriate mail boxes. There's no real reason
nowadays to have a system user for every email user.
Generally speaking, what you want likely doesn't
concern your webmail app at all so much as it does
your imapd. I use dovecot and have found its
configuration to be extremely flexible while not
overwhelmingly complex. You may want to check it out.
I'm using it with a mysql backend as well as exim,
and they have no problem authenticating against the
same mysql tables very easily.
Take care, mdh

How about a group of controllers with all the failover features? Group policies? Are you sure you could do that just with a bit of tweaking? If there are Microsoft specific features, than FreeBSD can't do anything Windows server does and more. I am really skeptic about joining a Vista into such a domain. I would really love to see ONE guy who achieves that. To _completely_ replace Windows server with all its features with FreeBSD Anyone? Full AD parity is expected with the release of Samba 4: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035-6053709.html WINS capability is already available in ports with the samba4wins port, by the way. In addition to that, as I pointed out in another email, FreeBSD can *easily* provide all the same functionality -- though MS Windows clients may not support all the necessary protocols and client applications needed to take full advantage of that functionality in some cases. In fact, FreeBSD supports software that does a far better job of being a server or client in an MS Windows network than MS Windows does of being a server or client in a BSD Unix network. Sorry, but OpenOffice is more featureless than MS Office 2007. There are things which you can do with MS Office so MUCH easily than with OpenOffice. For feature comparison see: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=480 1. George Ou is a notorious MS Windows bigot, and I've had run-ins with him before (we both write professionally for the same corporate family of websites, though each under differing circumstances from the other). You can pretty much take anything he says with a grain of salt and still have room to be amazed at some of the nonsense he spouts. 2. I, among many others, have given George Ou's poor benchmarking methodologies a pretty thorough reaming on several occasions in the past. Just looking at some of the charts he presents should make his biases and lack of ability to isolate variables pretty obvious (like the fact that, when comparing Linux and MS Windows performance, he runs different software on them for the benchmarks rather than using the same software on both when there are both MS Windows and Linux ports of the software). 3. His numbers tend to differ significantly from those of anyone else who has roughly duplicated his tests. You should look to better sources for something to back your arguments. Not to mention performance issues with OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/product/docs/ms2007vsooo2.pdf The first chart is inaccurate. Last I checked, OO.o comes with Impress, for instance -- so the presentation player line is mis-marked, unless presentation player has some meaning with which I'm not familiar. Perhaps it means that OO.o doesn't come with a crippled form of Impress while MS Office comes with a crippled form of PowerPoint. The rest of that 28 page PDF pretty much looks like a tie in terms of features. Then, there are matters like hardware requirements (far more stringent for MS Windows), cost (obvious), standards compliance (clear win for OO.o), the ability to integrate with third-party applications (a less clear win for OO.o), and license restrictions. I don't know why you linked to that PDF for performance issues, though. There's nothing in there that speaks directly of performance, and the only indirect mention is the more high-performance minimum hardware requirements for MS Windows. Of course, I'm not saying everyone can just automatically do without MS Office without making some sacrifices -- but most people can do so, and are in fact making sacrifices if they *don't* live without it. The most important thing: we are talking about ordinary users not a bunch of math professors who want to run every application from a shell. And those users want to use things nicely. For example, let's look at the mail system. You could put a Postfix+amavisd-new+spamassassin+Horde+postfixadmin+ ... bla bla stuff on your FreeBSD server (I actually run this on many servers). But in that webmail, you are not able to manage your spam quarantine for example - you have to logout of Horde and login to Maia Mailguard (before you have to install that too), which is complicated for users. The problem of mail is then cut to so many little pieces that it may affect user efficiency. The problem with concatenating so many opensource products is that it is hard to make them work together like a charm. Microsoft usually (!) provides that (naturally, because it produces all those pieces). You don't have to run everything from a shell with FreeBSD. What do you think this is -- 1994? Even manpages can be accessed with a GUI application. Microsoft does *not* provide everything people need. When someone uses

But since the disk is booting, some boot1 loader ist located at sector 0 (from the beginning of this slice). How is it assured, that the first block will never be overwritten? Where is boot1 located, where boot2? Comparing the first sector with boot and boot1 differs already at the first char. (and there were no updates so far) That sector 0 lies outside of the slice block 0. What you are seeing is not an absolute disk offset, but the offset in to the slice. Right, and sector 0 of the bsd-partition (label) begins where the bsd-partition- starts. Since offset of ads1a is zero, sector 0 ad0s1a is the same as sector 0 of ad0s1. So my problem was to understand how there can be any room for boot1+2, if the filesystem start right there. My fault was to assume, that the ufs-superblock begins at first sector. (see below) It is possible to create it otherwise but isn't done that way by default.Nowdays, actually a whole track is held out, instead of just sector 0 and that is where some of the fancier MBRs such as GRUB get their extra space to work. But, the standard FreeBSD MBR sticks to the official standard of just one sector - which is why it is so plain vanilla. Since I have no real use for a DOS/MBR-partitiontable, I'd like to partitionate a dangerously dedicated layout. How would I do this in a safe way? I found the answer to my question in sys/ufs/ffs/fh.h: UFS leaves some sectors free up to the superblock. Dependening on x that can be 0k, 8k, 32k, 64k or even 256k.

How about a group of controllers with all the failover features? Group policies? Are you sure you could do that just with a bit of tweaking? If there are Microsoft specific features, than FreeBSD can't do anything Windows server does and more. I am really skeptic about joining a Vista into such a domain. I would really love to see ONE guy who achieves that. To _completely_ replace Windows server with all its features with FreeBSD Anyone? Full AD parity is expected with the release of Samba 4: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035-6053709.html WINS capability is already available in ports with the samba4wins port, by the way. WINS is required mostly for Browsing networks, Master browser selection and Netbios connections (the infamous 13x ports). However Microsoft is really trying to get rid of Netbios connections and only have made it available for backwards compatibility. If I aint mistaken port used for file connections is somewhere in the 400 range. It is definitely not required for a full Windows Domain and for file-sharing. In addition to that, as I pointed out in another email, FreeBSD can *easily* provide all the same functionality -- though MS Windows clients may not support all the necessary protocols and client applications needed to take full advantage of that functionality in some cases. In fact, FreeBSD supports software that does a far better job of being a server or client in an MS Windows network than MS Windows does of being a server or client in a BSD Unix network. snap/snap The most important thing: we are talking about ordinary users not a bunch of math professors who want to run every application from a shell. And those users want to use things nicely. For example, let's look at the mail system. You could put a Postfix+amavisd-new+spamassassin+Horde+postfixadmin+ ... bla bla stuff on your FreeBSD server (I actually run this on many servers). But in that webmail, you are not able to manage your spam quarantine for example - you have to logout of Horde and login to Maia Mailguard (before you have to install that too), which is complicated for users. The problem of mail is then cut to so many little pieces that it may affect user efficiency. The problem with concatenating so many opensource products is that it is hard to make them work together like a charm. Microsoft usually (!) provides that (naturally, because it produces all those pieces). You don't have to run everything from a shell with FreeBSD. What do you think this is -- 1994? Even manpages can be accessed with a GUI application. Microsoft does *not* provide everything people need. When someone uses a piece of software that isn't produced by Microsoft, chances are good that any MS software will have been designed specifically to make it difficult to interoperate. Meanwhile, a lot of open source software interoperates very well. Sure, if you limit yourself to nothing but MS software, you might get really good integration -- but that's at the cost of reduced security (thanks to lack of privilege separation and the ubiquitous use of IE's rendering engine for pretty much every single application Microsoft produces) and refusing to use a lot of software that Microsoft doesn't offer. I find it really hard to change, finetune settings on windows. Changing default ports eg. The standard tools provided are limited and there is no default. THink about netsh and net commands. Also security wise. You need to give more permissions to an account to do something than you should on Freebsd. Chrooted applications for instance. How about group policies? How would you do that with FreeBSD server? Group policies are THE thing you need when managing greater amount of workstations. I'd provide such functionality using Unix tools rather than Microsoft tools. Problem solved. I just don't agree with the statement, that Windows servers are completely inferior to FreeBSD and you could replace all of them with FreeBSD boxen. If that would be possible, I would do it already. I don't think anyone said that MS Windows servers are completely inferior to FreeBSD -- and while you *could* replace all of them with FreeBSD boxen, it's probably a good idea to make that a gradual migration in many cases. Agree completely. I really am a FreeBSD guy, I run it for more than 6 years now and I like it a lot. But I learned to be reasonable and not to say that it is in every way superior to everything else in the world. When did anyone say that FreeBSD was in every way superior to everything else in the world? You must be reading a different discussion than the one

No buffer space available
Hello, Since moving over ftp traffic to a 6-STABLE from 9/20/2007 to a machine of ours, we've been getting the above errors in the logs. Obviously the machine becomes unresponsive from the network and requires a console to log in and reboot. I generally can fix these types of problems rather quickly (or thought I did), as I've handled these problems before in the past quite frequently. However, this particular machine is giving me a really hard time. I have to reboot the machine every 2ish weeks due to the above. It's my hopes that after reading through the output that follows, someone can point out a crucial piece that I am missing...cause I am stumped. With the above said, and while looking through tons of output, I came across what I believe to 'be the gem'. I'm hoping that this can be either confirmed or denied: ITEM SIZE LIMIT USED FREE REQUESTS FAILURES mbuf_cluster: 2048, 64000, 1024, 10, 1024, 0## While machine is borked mbuf_cluster: 2048, 64000, 1532, 246, 1823214, 0## While the machine is not borked The above is output from vmstat -z obviously trimmed just to show the specific lines. The first line quite frankly makes no sense to me whatsoever. In fact, it's ?artifically? stuck at 1024 for both the 'used' and 'requests' fields. Formatting bug? or integer overflow of some kind? Maybe..but it's ironic that the network is locking up at the same time. That and the values simply don't add up. Additionally, I have netstat -m output that follows which again shows strange values for requests for I/O initiated by sendfile and calls to protocol drain routines: --- 522/888/1410 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 516/518/1034/64000 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 516/508 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache) 0/0/0/0 4k (page size) jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 0/0/0/0 9k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 0/0/0/0 16k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 1162K/1258K/2420K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) 0/0/0 requests for mbufs denied (mbufs/clusters/mbuf+clusters) 0/0/0 requests for jumbo clusters denied (4k/9k/16k) 0/5/8704 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max) 0 requests for sfbufs denied 0 requests for sfbufs delayed 0 requests for I/O initiated by sendfile 0 calls to protocol drain routines --- 0 ??

Odd aliasing question
I've looked but found no examples to give me confidence. While I have lots of servers running alias IPs the IPs are all on the same network. I've have been informed by my network admin that we will need to change the IPs of our legacy name servers (we are just dragging them along for a time, new name servers are up and domains are being moved to them). Currently the IP of ns2 is 208.252.191.2, this needs to change to 65.123.104.25. The network admin is telling me he will have the router for that NOC cage handle both IPs no problems. However I need to continue answering the old IP until clients can get their equipment reconfigured. Can I alias 208.252.191.2 once I change the NIC's IP to 65.123.104.25 with a default route of 65.123.104.1? What netmask would use for the alias line?

Since as far as I know linuxpluginwrapper hasnt been updated in well
over a year (other than to remove support for 5.x from the makefile)
and the main driver for development on it (using flash) has been taken
over by nspluginwrapper, You could try installing the linux jdk since
this bit of the makefile indicates that if your using the linux jdk you
dont need to have linuxpluginwrapper.

bit of a pain since 1/2 the point of java was meant to be platform
independence ;)
Other options are:
the 7.0 release notes say:
The rtld(1) runtime linker now supports ELF symbol versioning using GNU
semantics. This implementation aims to be compatible with symbol
versioning support as implemented by GNU libc and documented in
http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/symbol-versioning and LSB 3.0. Also,
dlvsym() function has been added to allow lookups for a specific version
of a given symbol.
This may mean that the ports makefile needs updating and you can just
delete the lines in /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/Makefile that say
.if ${OSVERSION} = 79
IGNORE= doesn't support ELF symbol versioning, yet.
.endif
your other option is to see if you can get it running with
nspluginwrapper instead i guess, not sure how easy/hard this would be.

May-be; I didn't watch my router. Since you have Ubuntu and FreeBSD machine to make things as simple as possible attach printer directly to the network (that is why you have DN extension in the name of your printer) and make it printer server. That's just why I wanted this printer. And when I buy a newer ThinkPad, that'll make three desktops. Ubuntu comes with CUPS which speaks IPP and adding printing should be matter of selecting it in the Gnome printer manager. I tried to get CUPS working back in '05 when I first tried Ubuntu. After several hours of breaking concrete with my head, I found an old lpr for Debian and it worked [ with my lpr/lpd deskjet here]. Whoever have CUPS working must either (a) have sold their soul to the Devil or (b) been personslly blessed by Zeus. I have it here somewhere under KDE (andor Gnome); over my head! You could edit printcap file for remote printer on your FreeBSD box. Look the FreeBSD Handbook section 9.4.3. If you want to have identical set up on FreeBSD machine as on the Ubuntu machine add the CUPS. Do not forget to hide native LPD commands (example mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bak) Hmmm. and hm. First time I ever heard that tip. You need to edit file /usr/local/etc/cups/client.conf on FreeBSD to enable client printing. Start CUPS daemon and then go to http://localhost:631 and add the printer. You can find PPD file for the printer on http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi Just follow the documentation for CUPS client setup http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html You know, I'm about to publish a how-to with many examples on how to play|copy|mod you CD's/DVD's/whatever for **FreeBSD**.

Well considering that linuxpluginwrapper is not really used and is outdated now. That could be the issue since linuxpluginwrapper work from what I know is not even moving along anymore. I am trying to install the port: /usr/ports/java/jai which depends on: /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper The problem is: newpdc# make === linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_8 doesn't support ELF symbol versioning, yet.. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper. We are using diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_9 as our JDK and the system is FreeBSD 7. uname -a yields: FreeBSD newpdc.dakcs.com 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Again, any direction or help on this is appretiated and welcome. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mpd pptp server?

Or are there any obvious errors in the above configuration? Mpd4 should work without special system tuning. The best way to find the problem is to read it's logs. Mpd writes detailed logs using syslog (you should configure syslog.conf for it alike to ppp) and to the stdout if running in foreground. I finally got it working with mpd4 (can only check it from my own private network right now). Files are as follow /usr/local/etc/mpd4/mpd.conf startup: default: load pptp1 pptp1: new -i ng0 pptp1 pptp1 set iface disable on-demand set iface enable proxy-arp set iface idle 0 set iface enable tcpmssfix set bundle enable multilink set link yes acfcomp protocomp set link no pap chap set link enable chap set link keep-alive 10 60 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp ranges 192.168.1.4/32 192.168.1.151/32 set ipcp dns 195.184.96.2 213.173.225.86 set ipcp nbns 192.168.1.4 set bundle enable compression set ccp yes mppc set ccp yes mpp-e40 set ccp yes mpp-e128 set ccp yes mpp-stateless /usr/local/etc/mpd.links pptp1: set link type pptp set pptp enable incoming set pptp disable originate Hope I can access my (Samba) homedrive from the outside. Line compression doesn't seem to work, but that has something to do with some proprietary MS stuff or what? There is now way I can authenticate via my Samba or system passowrds? Thanks for the advices so far...!
