Trouble with pfsense and NFS
Hello everybody!! I got a problem with pfsense, i expect to you can help me. I have replaced my Openbsd box with pfsense. The pfsense settings are the next: one interface have internet, the other have the lan, and the last have dmz with only one server which one have FBSD 5.4, and serve NIS and NFS. My problem is between my linux clients (wich ones have a nfsv3) and the server, the pfsense is blocking the nfs traffic. I tested pfctl -d and clients works perfect, but when i activated pf, nfs is getting down. The result is the same when i load a pf.conf with no rules. I deactived the menu options: Clear DF bit instead of dropping Disable Firewall Scrub but the problem continue. What can i do?, and where are the rules? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Variable arg function question
Hi all I need to implement a variable argument function in C. The number of args are not known but the type is known, all are strings. Unfortunately va_arg() [stdarg(3)] does not return NULL or any other suitable value after processing the arg list, it just simply crashes once the arg list is exhausted. It seems there is no way to know the number of args inside the called function. How do you guys implement variable arg function such as f(str1, str2, str3, ..., strN)? Sorry for the sightly off topic question, the only relevance is I'm programming this app on FreeBSD 7.0 :) Many thanks in advance.

server (partly) fails: hardware?
Hi all, I have FreeBSD installed on a ~6 year old IBM NetVista box; it serves a headless gateway/server/WAP for my home network. I upgraded it from v6 to v7 in mid January, building a custom kernel with altq and the new scheduler. It has been running fine since early December. However, three times during the past few days, it has stop functioning. The WAN connection dies and I can no longer ssh into the box. However, I can still ping it, and I can still ssh from one LAN client to another via the FreeBSD box. IOW, it seems to be dying, but not freezing, if that makes any sense. Alas, there is nothing in /var/messages to indicate what happens. I don't think it is succumbing to excessive load; it has a 1.6 MHz Pentium IV, 512 MB RAM, rarely uses swap, and the load averages tend to be very light. At this point, I assume a hardware issue, and I can have the box tested by a local whitebox shop later this week, but I am open to other avenues to purse as well. Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- 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]

Re: server (partly) fails: hardware?
Can you predict at what point the server will crash? Is it after performing a specific action, or at a certain time of day? i think it's quite inpredictable, with probability proportional to disk load.

Trouble making a bootable CD
I need to make a custom 4.X CD-ROM. I think my problem is finind a correct boot image. The only image I can find either on systems that need upgrading or via cvs /boot/cdboot is 1184 bytes. Shouldn't this be 1200 bytes? I have made a CD using the 4.X /boot/cdboot and one using a later version that is 1200 bytes. Neither works. My question: is the 1184 byte boot image okay? thanks for any thoughts DougD ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Am I right in understanding that running make ; make install in /usr/ports/ turns the port into a package, so that when I run pkg_info, it doesn't make any difference whether a package was downloaded directly from the Net or compiled locally through the Ports collection? When you compile a port, a package is created and installed (but you get to select the options. Pre-built packages have the default options and are usually older versions). In fact, you can even use the ports to create packages and install them on other systems. (See man ports) Probably the most confusing thing for someone new to the ports system is: - that a port that gets installed is referred to as a package - that a tarball containing the compiled files to install a port is also called a package. When you compile and install a port, a tarball is NOT created. The 'make package' target will do this for you. Also, pre-built packages from FreeBSD-servers have the default options, or more to the point the options that are set by the PACKAGE_BUILDING switch in the port's Makefile if present. But since you can make your own packages, it is perfectly ok to use a build 'server' and upgrade 'client' machines using your own packages and your own options. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

k3b problem with DVD
Hello, For long I use k3b with great satisfaction. On a recent new system however it has serious problem with handling DVD-s. While it works with CD-s, as soon as DVD disc is placed into the drive it starts to emit error messages[1]. From this on (and even after stopping/killing it ) the system displays an extreme high interrupt activity (~50%) while CPU usage remains low. Ejecting the disc has no effect on k3b it no longer works even with CD-s. If the DVD is put before k3b start, k3b does not start for a long time (~ 15 minutes), then reports no proble with system configuration, show dvd device info on console, but can't handle the DVD disc. Mounting of DVDs by hal/thunar-volman/dbus/policykit works. I can play the dvd with mplayer, too. My system is: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #5 k3b-1.0.4_1 The PIO device's firmware was upgraded to he latest with no effect.

Re: wine: notepad OK, others not
... very shortly after starting the actual install I got an error box: VISIO Setup ! Tried to create an invalid path using 'A:\' and 'clipart.vs_' and it locked up the display so that CtrlAltF1 would not switch to a text screen (although it did allow AltTab to bring up FVWM's window list). After clicking OK: Visio Setup i Setup failed. and it quit. Were there any messages printed in the terminal window? No. What version of Visio is this? 3.0. Long before M$ took it over, so it should be just a generic Win32 app with no secret M$ tricks. You might also want to try on a Linux system if you have that somewhere, just to see if it works there. If I had a Linux system set up, I'd have tried this there in the first place. Also, you should really take this to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. The people there should know more about this than here on a FreeBSD mailing list. I suppose I can try it, but I wonder how much interest there will be on a wine list in supporting FreeBSD. At a minimum I suppose they'll want to know if it still breaks on the latest wine version, and I'll have no way to find out since the FreeBSD port doesn't support the latest wine version. In any case, it seems FreeBSD should not be allowing a port -- any port -- to lock out CtrlAltF1. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wine: notepad OK, others not
Wine has its own simple version of Wordpad though. Just run wine wordpad. This version has its own notepad, but it doesn't appear to have wordpad. (There's no wordpad.exe that I can find, but there are two identical copies of notepad.exe -- one in .../windows and the other in .../windows/system32.) wine wordpad still works though. It's in /usr/local/lib/wine. Along with yet another notepad, this one twice the size of the ones in .../windows and .../windows/system32! The obvious followup is which one actually gets used if someone runs wine notepad, but I doubt it's worth looking into. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This might not be caused by mod_php5 as such, but by some PHP extension(s). I have seen cases where even the order in which extensions are loaded in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini is significant. Have them in one order and you get coredumps. Move one extension from top to bottom - no more coredumps. This is one of the great mysteries of the nature. Happy experimenting :) It is a problem with php extension extension=mhash.so. If I remove it from extensions.ini it works. However, there does not seem to be order of arrangement that restores sanity. I believe I need mhash for squirrelmail. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

rsync as root for mail servers?
I plan on cutting over a server to new hardware, and I was wondering if I can add cert based login for root (how do I do this)?

RE: living with freebsd
Hello! i'd like to know how people live with freebsd. do you use only ports or only packages or a mixture? Some uses just ports...while others use packages only if they exist in the first place or they cross compiled. Hell, a lot of people use both ports and packages. The reasons vary and it is not restrictive to pick either one. do you upgrade from version to version using freebsd tools or do it manually? Manually is the traditional way. The freebsd tools (if you meant the binary upgrade method) is just a new way. Few are switching over as the time progresses. There are some in the production environment that prefer using binary upgrades as it will provide lower downtimes. do you have a different approach regarding the above depending on whether it is for a server or a desktop? Yes, avoid GUI stuff when using server or vice verse. That's just one example out of millions of examples. the handbook tells you what you can do, but i'd like to know what is actually done and why. The way it should work: You find out what you want your FreeBSD computer to do, you look into the available documentations on how to do it. Not the other way around.

You will probably get too many different views - it is a flexible system after all. For example, I rarely mix ports and packages. On my small home server (which also doubles as a workstation for light use) everything is compiled from ports. This includes openoffice.org which took more than a day to download and compile. I doubt I'll ever upgrade it the same way... On this machine I am using the XFCE desktop, which I start manually from the command line when used as a desktop. But on a real dedicated desktop, I would use Gnome (or KDE). As for versions, I always run -RELEASE. I would go to STABLE if I desperately needed a feature not present in RELEASE, but this hasn't happened yet. I am using freebsd-update to get security updates / patches and then recompile my kernel when needed. I also used freebsd-update to get to 7.0-RELEASE from 7.0-RC1. Quite painless. For desktop machines, especially when I need to get them up and running quickly, I use packages. You can either use the stable packages from the site (by setting the PACKAGESITE env variable) or use another machine to compile your own (have a look at http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/ ). I almost never use the CD packages (except maybe for demonstration purposes) since they get outdated really quickly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
