You need to set ntpd_config to the path to your config file - as it is
now, you are also setting it in ntpd_flags, which the above line then
expands to something like this:
rc_flags=-c /path/in/ntpd_config -c /etc/ntp.conf
So, remove it from your ntpd_flags definition and all should be well!

However, after installing the abiword-plugins port (grammar was not turned on by default), a 'check grammar as you type' showed up in the edit-preferences window. I don't know to how check grammar, had a green line under 'how' when I was done. That was the closest I could find.

You need to set ntpd_config to the path to your config file - as it is
now, you are also setting it in ntpd_flags, which the above line then
expands to something like this:
rc_flags=-c /path/in/ntpd_config -c /etc/ntp.conf
So, remove it from your ntpd_flags definition and all should be well!
Bingo. Thanks!

mysql50-server port in 7.0
Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD and it has impressed me so far. I came across a slight problem last night when trying to build mysql50 from ports - the build failed stating that C++ does not support the type 'long long'. The other ports I've tried have built fine, and I stripped my kernel without a hitch. Is the port broken? I could obviously go and hack the code into submission, but I refuse to believe that was the intended approach.

nfs firewall, hard vs soft mount
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD v7 box set up as gateway/mailserver/WAP. I leave my WAP unencrypted, so my neighbors can use it, and use PF to allow just a few specific services (dhcp dns, http, https). I'd like to be able to mount a couple of NFS shares from a desktop box running Fedora on a wireless client. I've opened the sunrpc and nfs ports in PF, but that doesn't seem to be enough. tcpdump indicates some high upd ports in the 40k-50k range are used in the nfs negotiation, but I can't figure out exactly what is going on. Does anyone know what additional ports need to be opened for nfs? Will I need to use PF to redirect this udf traffic to the fedora host or will it find the nfs server on its own? Also, this page here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/client.html mentions hard vs soft mounts. Since wifi is ocassionally flaky, and since the wireless client (a laptop) is not always within range, I'd prefer to not to mount them via fstab, but via in a batch file with mount, but that command doesn't appear to support soft mounts. In the past, I've noticed that nautilus etc on the client has a fit when hard-mounted nfs shares disappear. Can anyone recommend a robust way of mounting NFS shares? I've also tried to mount remote file systems using sftp in gnome (ie, sftp://host/dir), but the new gvfs subsystem (which apparently replaces gnome-vfs) still seems flaky; it freezes up my laptop every few times. Another drawback of sftp is that it appears to add some overhead which I notice when watching AVI files -- the media player ocassionally stutters. In any case, suggestions for alternative approaches to mounting remote file systems via wireless would be most welcome. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD on xen?
Hi! Is anybody successfully running FreeBSD on xen? xen docs doesn't talk about support for FreeBSD.. Only Linux and Windows!

It could be a hardware problem, or a bug.
Hardware is fine under linux (same machine) or windows on my wife's laptop (no
pb with the USB devices), so I don't think so.
Does anything appear in the dmesg output when you try to plug in a USB
device? look in /var/log/messages, at the correct time.
E.g, the following appears when I plug in a USB flash drive;
I get this:
Apr 23 22:17:48 mellba root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x07b4 product 0x0105
bus uhub0
According to the file /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on my 7-STABLE
system, this is a C-700 camera, which should be recognized.
Apr 23 22:17:48 mellba kernel: umass2: OLYMPUS X100,D540Z,C310Z, class 0/0,
rev
2.00/1.00, addr 2 on uhub0
And it does not seem to be recognized properly.
So My USB device has been seen and then nothing until the first message of the
next boot
OK, so it goes wrong before the usb subsystem hands the camera off as a
da device.
This is uhub0, so it's recognized as a USB 1.0 device. Is it USB 2.0 capable
Actually it's quite funny because I have a hard disk on my da0 which
is working fine:
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: WD 2500JB External 0108 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 238475MB (488397168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 30401C)
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1 is msdosfs/My Book.
From the transfer rate I infer that this is a USB 2.0 device. It should
be connected to uhub1.
User sebastien is a member if wheel, so hot plug should be working (and it
is with my usb key and my usb hard disk ... it's only my mp3 player and my
camera which make my pc hanging up).
Is the mp3 player a usb 1.0 device as well? In that case the trouble is
probably with the ohci driver, since the USB 2.0 devices seem to work well.
I try do disable both these services and the result is the same.
Seeing which of these lines appear or not makes it easier to track down
the bug.
Try to read the crashdump with the kernel debugger, as described in
§10.2 of the FreeBSD Developers' Handbook. Obtain a so-called
backtrace. (using the 'bt' command in the debugger).
I can't do that. It required a built kernel, didn't it?
The handbook said to launch:
# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
# kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0
But ... I don't have this directory since I don't compile my kernel, so Itry

On 7.x you should have /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols, which is the

Re: nfs firewall, hard vs soft mount
quoth the Colin Brace: Hi all, I have a FreeBSD v7 box set up as gateway/mailserver/WAP. I leave my WAP unencrypted, so my neighbors can use it, and use PF to allow just a few specific services (dhcp dns, http, https). I'd like to be able to mount a couple of NFS shares from a desktop box running Fedora on a wireless client. I've opened the sunrpc and nfs ports in PF, but that doesn't seem to be enough. tcpdump indicates some high upd ports in the 40k-50k range are used in the nfs negotiation, but I can't figure out exactly what is going on. Does anyone know what additional ports need to be opened for nfs? Will I need to use PF to redirect this udf traffic to the fedora host or will it find the nfs server on its own? 'rpcinfo -p server' will show the ports/proto you need open. However, it should change some each time because rpc.mountd, rpc.statd, and lockd assign ports dynamically. You can set a few NFS options to lock these down: Eg: RPCMOUNTDOPTS=-p 4002 RPCSTATDOPTS=-p 4000 Sadly, I have only ever run an NFS server on Linux, so I do not know if there is a config to set these, or if you have to add the '-p n' to the startup scripts directly. Also, On Linux you must set the lockd port at boot time. Perhaps there is a sysctl for this on FreeBSD?

Performance research
Hi, (If you want to skip to the questions (since this is a questions mailing list :-) please see the 2nd last paragraph) I am interested in the performance difference of using either -Os or -O2. From my preliminary research I have found that in most cases -Os outperforms -O2 (and produces smalled binaries). However this is only in a very isolated situation and does not make any case for a system wide change therefore I would like to run some experiments to measure the difference between the two flags. I plan to use a live CD (with a system using 3GB) and having both the source and object tree in memory (so as to avoid the harddrive influencing the times). Since the CD is very small I am expecting caching to eliminate any influence of the slow CD read times of any of the files required to build world. The tests will be automated by scripts with two CD's, the first with -Os and the second with -O2 binaries for the kernel and world (both amd64). I am running an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 and 3GB of ram (as mentioned before). I am hoping that only the execution speed will be measured without any other factors influencing (such a lack of memory [and thus -Os having the advantage]) the results. Onto the questions: 1) Is there any other (better) tool I should use to measure the performance of building world (other than time)? 2) Since (I think) all of FreeBSD sources of aliassing safe (I have been running a system without -fno-strict-aliassing and optimised for a while without a problem) should I leave it out of the build flags (i.e. CFLAGS=-Os -pipe) 3) Any other suggestions on refining this experiment? 4) Should this experiment produce potential, or conclusive, results any other suggestions of experiments to run (perhaps a database or other flags?) I will be posting my results (possible wiki page, or a particular mailing list) after this weekend. Thank you for your time. David signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Cron question
I have recently switched from Linux to FreeBSD for my web server. Absolutely love it, but am having one difficulty that is driving me bats... I wouldn't think that cron would run differently on BSD than Linux, but it seemingly does. I have a user crontab that runs a PHP script once a day. This worked effortlessly on the old box. If I am logged in as the user (gs), I can run the script without problem just by typing the command line ./script.php, or /full/path/ to/script.php The trouble comes when I try to run this script with cron. I have something like this in the gs user crontab: SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/gs/bin HOME=/home/gs 0 15 * * * /home/gs/bin/script.php /home/gs/log/script.log I can see from the cron log that cron runs script.php at the appointed hour: Apr 24 15:00:03 on /usr/sbin/cron[72414]: (gs) CMD (/home/gs/bin/ script.php /home/gs/log/script.log) HOWEVER, absolutely nothing happens as a result. No error message in any /var/log file, and script.log is not even touched, even though the script is quite verbose and logs a bunch of stuff when it runs. It is as if the script was never run. I have looked at this every which way, but it doesn't make any sense to me. There are other scripts in the same crontab that run without problem. I have tried changing the crontab to: 0 15 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/gs/bin/script.php /home/gs/log/ script.log But that has no effect. So, the question is, how can a script that runs perfectly when executed by user gs from the command line, not work at all when run as user gs's crontab? Not even generate an error message or log entry? What is different in the user crontab runtime environment? Any insight much appreciated.

Mount the cd and replace /boot/boot, /boot/boot2, and /boot/loader on your external hard drive with the ones from the cd. Then you could replace the mbr using fdisk and the bootblocks using bsdlabel.

Software RAID and Logical Volume in Linux versus FreeBSD
Hi all,
I have used FreeBSD for a long time very casually but have never explored
any of its software RAID or volume management features---at least to a
degree to which I feel comfortable with them. What I would like to know with
this post is 1.) whether there exists the ability to setup an analogue of
this in FreeBSD; 2.) how this would be done if it is possible; 3.) whether
the capabilities of this in FreeBSD are sufficiently mature to manage it;
and 4.) how worst-case recovery scenarios would go on FreeBSD.
I have a four disk software RAID setup in Linux. Everything is in RAID with
the exception of swap. Here's an approximation of my setup:
/dev/sd{a,b,c}1 is in a RAID 1 array used as /boot.
/dev/sd{a,b,c}2 is in a RAID 1 array used a /root.
/dev/sd{a,b,c}3 is used as swap with each of equal priority.
/dev/sd{a,b,c}4 is in a RAID 5 array used as LVM.
/dev/sdd houses spare partitions for the compliment supra.
LVM is henceforth broke up according to proper Linux-FHS rules.
What are your thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Matt

Re: Install problem to external usb hard drive
Gary, If I may ask for a clarification...the link you offered regarded a usb pen drive (flash?), while my problem involves a usb hard drive. Would the problem with a flash drive be the same as my problem with a hard drive? Thanks. Steve. - Original Message - From: Gary Newcombe To: Steve P.

Mount the cd and replace /boot/boot, /boot/boot2, and /boot/loader on your external hard drive with the ones from the cd. Then you could replace the mbr using fdisk and the bootblocks using bsdlabel. Boot from the livefs, go into fixit mode, then do something like: fdisk -B /dev/da0 bsdlabel -B /dev/da0s1 I think that should do the trick. Second attempt: Lines 1-8 the same, except on 5, installed the boot manager. 9. Attempt to boot external drive results in identical fast scrolling screen of zeros Questions: 1. How do you install fbsd to an external usb hard drive leaving internal drive untouched? Is this possible? 2. Or if it is impossible, do I need to install the loader on the internal normally booting hard drive? I suppose you could just install from the BTXTEST disk too. That would be easy.

If you already have an installation, try my instructions. It sounds like it might just be easier to install from the BTXTEST disk though. Thanks.

USB / printer woes
Small home network. Bottom line, trying to get a USB printer working with cups. Right now I'm thinking it's more of a usb problem. USB related dmesg output... uhci0: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd400-0xd41f at device 11.0 on pci2 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci0: [ITHREAD] usb0: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb0 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd000-0xd01f at device 11.1 on pci2 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci1: [ITHREAD] usb1: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0: VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller mem 0xf200-0xf2ff at device 11.2 on pci2 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ehci0: [ITHREAD] usb2: EHCI version 1.0 usb2: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2: VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller on ehci0 usb2: USB revision 2.0 uhub2: VIA EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb2 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered when I turn on the printer I get... ulpt0: HP Deskjet 3840, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 on uhub1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode Depending on the physical port connected to, it's either uhub0 or uhub1, connecting to usb0 / usb1 both of which are usb revision 1.0.

So does printing a test page from the cups web interface. It's a black hole. Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Would removing ohci/uhci from the kernel force it to connect to the usb 2.0 side of things? tia, Dave. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: USB / printer woes
connecting to usb0 / usb1 both of which are usb revision 1.0. All the information I have says this printer is usb 2.0. Why is it not usb 2.0 doesn't mean USB high speed (480Mbps) but is common mistaken. it's about protocol not speed. attaching to ehci0/uhub2/usb2? echo something /dev/ulpt0 results in silence. So does printing a test page from the cups web interface. It's a black hole. Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Would removing ohci/uhci from the kernel force it to connect to the usb 2.0 side of things? it's not a problem here. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem mount Olympus FE-110 Camera
I recently upgraded from 6.2-RELEASE-p9 to FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p2 and now I can't download pictures from my Olympus camera anymore. I used to be able to mount it as a USB device and just copy the files across. Now I get the following error message artemisia# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /usb mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Device not configured I am running the GENERIC kernel and was also when I was using 6.2.
