Hello,

Is there any way using rc.conf and wpa_supplicant.conf that allows a
static ip?  It's starting to look like I need to write a separate
startup script for networking.

Re: log size handling

I put two entries in newsyslog.conf. One for rotating all logs at the start
of the month, and the other one specifically for the site which gets many
hits to rotate its log once it grows more than 25MB in size.

/var/log/*-access.log   644  12*$M1D0 GZC 
/var/run/httpd.pid   30
/var/log/example.com-access.log644  10025000* ZC 
/var/run/httpd.pid   30

The log was indeed rotated when it grew larger than the specified size but
it was not rotated at the start of the month. Any idea why? Is it so that
the first entry effectively eliminates the second? If so, how can I make
sure the log does not grow too large and is rotated at the start of the
month?

Many thanks!

Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?

2008-07-31 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]


One last post on this topic... Unless I find a miracle.


Justin T. Gibbs, maintainer of the ahd adapter says:

"HostRAID arrays are not supported by FreeBSD - it requires a software 
RAID stack in the OS.  XP has that, but we do not."



So while ahd can identify the Adaptec card, and the devices attached, 
FreeBSD cannot utilise the RAID functionality of the card :(


I hate definitive answers like this, but at least I know to stop fiddling.


Thank you all for your help


=^_^=


ps. If there are any magicians out there willing to make HostRAID work 
with FreeBSD I profess my undying love now :p

Roland .. thanks for the url's in here too !

Have you, by any chance, happen to know where can I find one of those clicky 
keyboards but without the numpad???

I've been trying to get one for ages .. and the only thing I could come up 
with was this:

http://www.fentek-ind.com/minikb.htm#minikb

but to make a long story short, I couldn't buy it 'cause getting it sent over 
here (Argentina) makes the price tag go as up as us$ 199 (S&H + Wire transfer 
+ local taxes ( = 50% of the price tag + S&H)) ... so .. that kb is out of 
the question for me ...

What I'm _exactly_ looking for is the keyboard you can see in here:

http://www.openbsd.org/images/newrack.jpg

Please, I kindly ask you or anyone in this list, who could provide me with 
information on that keyboard, to throw me a pointer to where can I buy one of 
those keyboards (wether new or used, black or beige, PS2 or USB), model, 
brand or whatever info you might have at the reach of your hands .. I will 
handle the rest (doing the numbers on how much would it cost me to get it 
sent over here).

Regardless of the outcome: thanks for reading and for the links you threw :)

PS: Gary .. take a look at http://www.fentek-ind.com/ .. albeit a little on 
the pricey side, they have quite a nice line up of keyboards to offer. Hope 
you can find the keyboard you are looking for :)

Re: Controlling read access

2008-07-31 Thread John Almberg


What ftp server software are you using?

For example, in proftpd, you simply add this line to /usr/local/etc/ 
proftpd.conf:


DefaultRoot ~

and everyone is "jailed" into his own directory.

It also seems the ftp daemon in the base system supports this  
through /etc/ftpchroot.

If you are using it, read the man pages for ftpd(8) and ftpchroot(5)



Ah... I knew there had to be a better way.

I am using sftp-server. I'm going to try to find some documentation  
on it right now...

It CAN be about the partition table, at least in principle, although
I'd think that if the dmesg says the drive is 128 GB that's probably
not what is happening. An invalid partition table can be interpreted
differently by different systems (I know that from painful
experience), and of course, by different releases of FreeBSD. And
Vista in particular seems to like to do strange things to partition
tables, FWIW.

FreeBSD has to make some educated guesses about what disk geometry to
assume: it has to try to make assumptions that will be compatible with
what other operating systems are likely to do, so at times it is
possible that it will opt for something safe but not "right" in order
to balance conflicting information it gets from the BIOS, the
partition table, and the drive itself. That's why you have the option
of changing its assumptions when you do a sysinstall. What the livefs
cd does, I do not know, but the only way you will know what would
happen if you installed FreeBSD on, and boot from, that hard drive
will be to actually install FreeBSD on that hard drive and see what
happens. The one thing I am certain of is that it should have no
problem booting from and using a 232 GB drive.

Hi John,

If the user logs into their own directory via FTP, there should be a way to 
"chroot" him/her, so that the home directory appears as the root directory. 
Consult your FTP server manuals for this.

You might also turn off the r,w,x bits for other.

Take a look at emulators/hfs and/or emulators/hfsutils. I haven't used

A company named Unicomp now manufactures the "IBM Model-M" keyboard with

It depends on your definition of "secure" -- which can vary from one
circumstance to another.  If the emails in question are "company
property", there's no reason to consider access to the emails by company
officials a breach of security.  On the other hand, if sensitive company
information is sniffed in plain text on the network, that could be
disastrous.

From the sound of it, the circumstances the OP described refer to such a
situation -- one where strict person-to-person privacy isn't a necessary

Re: keyboard!!

I know of a company that makes new buckle-spring keyboards of all
sorts, unicomp (uses the name pckeyboards).  That includes custom made
ones. The only issue for me is the price, $99.  The
one I've been wanting is the endurapro with a thinkpad-like stick in the

Re: 250GB hd: Can FreeBSD use >137GB (bios) as Linux or Windows do?

2008-07-31 Thread Jan Henrik Sylvester

I guess I should have put it more concise as some important details were 
lost in the middle of the background story.


--- The important part: --->

If I boot the FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE livefs CD, I have my 232GB hd limited 
to 128GB. (According to dmesg and some dd writing tests.)


If I boot the dynamic drive overlay MBR that changes the INT13 bios 
routines and let it boot the livefs CD, FreeBSD can access all 232GB.


These two cases happen with the same MBR and the same content on the drive.

<--- (Important part ending) ---

From my limited understanding: This cannot be about the FreeBSD 
installation transfered by firewire, since it is long gone. This cannot 
be about the FreeBSD MBR, since it is not involved. This is not about 
the partition table, since it is the same.


Doing the same with a Linux live CD (Knoppix), I can access the whole 
drive in both cases.


Windows reports 232GB, too, but according to this (German) posting 
http://www.acer-userforum.de/thread.php?postid=40207 writing above 128GB 
will wrap around for the 855GME chipset driver (I have 855PM). The 
posting claims ddo would solve it, which I cannot understand, if the 
Windows driver ignores the bios information. (The posting is about Acer 
Travelmate 661. I got the 800 from the same time.)


My laptop is more than five years old and I have got the latest bios for 
years, apparently without 48bit LBA.


I am kind of lost. I cannot understand the disassembled MBR and even if 
I could, I do not think I would want to create my own boot manager / 
INT13 handler. I guess reading FreeBSD source code would be next... but 
I am not very confident there, either.


The alternative is that my understanding of the problem is totally wrong.

Thanks for more helping to think through this mess of information I got 
during the last day.


Cheers,
Jan Henrik

keyboard!!


hi people,

a friend gave me two of his old dell keyboards; one of which has
worked pretty well.  trouble is that is it very large-- std??
travel-time is just that much moresince i am using only my
left hand.  S: i'mm looking for a compact keyboard with
built-in clicky keys. ---flames to /dev/null, guys. (circa 1988
when i joined yet-another-startup and i turned on the Sun
"click" audio, my co-workers [in the same room] nearly lynched me).---  

i don't watch the screen when i type; i watch my fingers.
still without a solid *thunk*, i can't be certain whether i 
hit a key.  (never took typing in high school; that was only 
for girls:)

is there a newer, more-better, prefferedstandard than the "PS/2"
essentially: small footprint, key-click [either mechanical or
electronic], std layout.

tia,

gary

Re: freebsd and fluxbox locales

2008-07-31 Thread Roger Olofsson


Hello Kenneth,

I think you need to run xorgconfig and set the appropriate keyboard when 
creating xorg.conf.


For fluxbox there is however a file called "keys" in the .fluxbox 
directory if there is any special character you would want mapped


(For FreeBSD you set it with sysinstall but that is not the issue here)

Bypassing Transparent Proxy

2008-07-31 Thread Jay Hall


Ladies and Gentlemen,

A situation has arisen for which I need to bypass my transparent proxy 
server (Squid) for a ceratin IP address range.


Following are the contents of my ipnat.rules file.

map em1 192.d.e.f/24 -> 0/32
map em1 from 10.a.b.c/24 to 69.147.83.33/32 -> 0/32
rdr em0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 -> 10.x.y.z port 3128 tcp
map em1 10.a.b.c/24 -> 0/32

em1 is the external interface on my server.

My thinking with the rules, was adding the map command before the rdr 
would prevent traffic destined for 69.147.83.33 from hitting the proxy 
server.  Unfortunately, it did not work.


Is there an easy way to bypass the proxy server when accessing this one 
address?


Thanks,



Jay

Compile firefox with debug symbols

2008-07-31 Thread Martin Laabs


Hi,

I have some problems with firefox (it just don't
start - as well as openoffice.) I think it is a
broken lib - but though I recompiled all the libs
it still does not work.
Now I'll do it the right way and use gdb but until
now I had no success compiling a binary of firefox
(or regxpcom which also hangs) with debug symbols

I tried " make DEBUG=on LOGGING=on" but this produced
also only the stripped binaries.

So - how can I build firefox (form the ports) with
debug symbols?

Thank you,
 Martin L.

I don't know how long ago the ATA-6 specification was adopted, but
prior to that ATA-5 had a 128 GB limit on disk size. I suspect your
BIOS is old enough to have adopted that limit. Perhaps if a BIOS
update for your system is available, it will solve your problem. BUT,
my understanding is that after the initial boot, FreeBSD reads the
size directly from the drive, so it seems strange that you are
encountering this problem if the drive itself is correctly reporting
its size.

Anyway, the fundamental answer to your question is "this should not be
happening." The challenge is to figure out where the problem is and
what to do about it.

I am quite certain, although I don't know the details. Like any modern
operating system (and since before some of them), FreeBSD asks the
drive for its size.

I think it would be informative to do as someone suggested after your
first post, and re-install FreeBSD on the partition from scratch, to
see if it that solves the behavior problems. It could be an artifact
of your transfer method, although I don't have a specific theory to
explain it.

By the way, what version of FreeBSD is on the system? Any chance it is
old enough that it didn't support drives larger than 128 GB (I don't
know how old that would have to be)?  That might include a bug in an
IDE driver that has since been fixed, or an obscure default
configuration option that changes FreeBSD's idea of how to address a
drive.

Another thought is that if you aren't using the FreeBSD loader (MBR),
then your problems may be caused by the loader. You could test this by
installing the FreeBSD disk loader (I think that would be "boot0cfg -B
ad0", but I might not have that right).

Is there any chance the MS-DOS partition table got changed at some
point to tell FreeBSD the partition is smaller than the BSD label says
it is?

> Thanks for your input!

Good luck.

CD Won't Boot Properly - External Sony VGP-UDRW1 Drive

I have a new Sony Vaio TZ2500 I'm attempting to load FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. 
Whenever the CD starts to boot, the screen just starts showing what 
appears to be memory dumps. If you stare at the screen long enough, you 
can tell there are two columns of eight hex pairs. They flash by so fast 
you can't hardly make out what is being displayed.


Does anyone know what might be going on and how to get the CD to boot

Do you have the x11-fonts/webfonts port installed?  That would be my

Great! I have "normal" audio now. Thanks a lot Kazuhiro.
By the way, when I set the volume (mixer vol) to 100, I
would hear a loud, continuous beep, so what I do is I lower
the value to around 90 and the loud beep goes away.
What's causing it? Is the behaviour to be expected?

Thanks a lot. Finally, I can play audio/video without
having to boot to Windows.

Re: Very very weak sound from the speaker

2008-07-31 Thread nawcom

Did you compile it from the source files there or try to use the 
precompiled ones? I wouldn't be surprised if the precompiled ones would 
crash it since it was for 6.2 - my guess is you are using a 7-release; 
sorry if you misinterpreted what I was directing you towards. I read up 
on it and this fix should be included in 7-CURRENT. Hopefully Watanabe's 
patch he gave you will do the trick for your specific laptop model.

- nawcom

I did that and I got a kernel panic. With the following on the console:


KLD file sound.ko - could not finalize loading

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
fault virtual address   = 0xf00de2cf

I restored the original sound.ko snd_ich.ko to be able to use the system.

I never said FreeBSD had a limit. With ddo, it works. (I am on 7.0.)

Yes, it is the bios. With ddo, the full disk is available; ddo supposingly does 
nothing but change the bios interrupt handlers.

Are you sure about "only for initial booting"? If that was the case, I would 
not understand why it shows "ad0: 238475MB" with ddo and "ad0: 131072MB" 
without. Moreover, I tried writing to a sector beyond 128GB unsuccessfully 
without ddo and successfully with ddo (using dd).

These is no such jumper. With Linux and Windows seeing the correct size 
(without ddo), the drive must report it somehow correctly.

Either your claim that FreeBSD is not relying on the bios is wrong, or I 
understand even less about the interaction of bios, drive, ddo handler, and os 
than I thought I would. (Please, enlighten me, if you know more.)

Thanks for your input!

See the FreeBSD Handbook for details.

 Building and Installing a Custom Kernel
 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

Before you run "make buildkernel", you have to apply the patch like this:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/the/patchfile

If you don't want to compile a kernel and modules other than snd_ich,
try this instead of "make buildkernel":

# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/sound/driver/ich
# make && make install

FreeBSD has no such limit, at least not in recent versions (I'm using
a 200 GB drive at this moment, and at home I have a system with a 500
GB and a 750 GB drive). Your problem is caused either by the BIOS
lying to it (which is unlikely, because FreeBSD uses the BIOS value
only for initial booting), or the hard drive itself lying. Does your
drive have a jumper that causes it to report its capacity as 128GB for
compatibility with older BIOSes? If so, remove the jumper and try
again.

Grep-ing through the sources I found the above message to come from

something to do with TcpOffloadEngine.

Please note that this is a box several years old (2GHz P4) with three

So here are my questions:

o) Has anybody else seen the above messages?

Yes, same here on a VIA motherboard with a vr interface.

o) Can they safely be ignored?

Looks like it. They're debug messages that shouldn't still be in there.
They were removed in version 1.2 but then reappeared in 1.4.2.1:

Thanks for locating the source of the problem. I entered a PR (#126138)
