Judging from this, you have a hostname set in /etc/rc.conf on freebsd 7 client
and/or dhcpd isn't configured to send one as it receives one from the client
and perhaps you have dynamic DNS configured?
There is no hostname= declaration in /etc/rc.conf in that FreeBSD7 dhcp client.
My dhcpd.conf contains mostly statically defined addresses (over a 100)
e.g.
host somehostname { hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff; fixed-address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD; }
and one set of 6 dynamically assigned addresses.
We want regular users to always get the same IP address based on the MAC
address of their system, the pool of 6 is for visitors for one or a few
days that we do allow not to register their MAC address.
The freebsd7 client is one of the 100+ statically assigned ones, but
I might have done a try for the dynamic assignment with this PC (by taking
it temporarily out of /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf, restart dhcpd, try,
then put it back in, restart dhcpd.
In fact in /var/db/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf I see I do have an entry
lease AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD {
starts 4 2009/05/07 12:49:13;
ends 4 2009/05/07 13:19:16;
tstp 4 2009/05/07 13:19:16;
binding state free;
hardware ethernet aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff;
uid \001\000\013\333S\025;
}
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD being one of the pool of 6 and the ethernet adddress that
of the freebsd client.
I see that's free'd already (max lease time is 12 hours) and I tried back
with that entry again as a statically defined one. Or does this dhcpd.lease
entry still have an impact ???
The man of dhcpd.leases says In order to prevent the lease database
from growing without bound, the file is rewritten from time to time.
Can one do such a rewrite oneself, how ? would that help?
On the other hand the AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD IP address does have a hostname
specified in the DNS server (somewhere in our campus) (and that DNS
server can be queried from the freebsd client via nslookup or host
command and it returns the correct hostname). So even in dynamic assignment,
shouldn't HOSTNAME been set with that hostname from DNS?
If that's not the case, then you should add some debugging to /sbin/dhclient-
script in the check_hostname function.

Re: isc-dhcpd server, HOSTNAME
Pieter Donche wrote: FreeBSD7 with isc-dhcp30-server. It hands out an IP address, OK, but the BASH environment variable HOSTNAME is not set. Why? (A DNS server is active on the network and can succesfully be queried from a FreeBSD bash command (nslookup or host) to see the hostname associated with the IP-address) Hostname is not one of the parameters usually requested from a DHCP server by a Unix machine. In fact, it's normally the other way round: the client tells the DHCP server what it's hostname is and the DHCP server can then inject an A record into the DNS dynamically. However it is possible to operate in the way you want. To tell the dhcp server to look up names from the DNS based on the address supplied to a host, search for the description of the 'get-lease-hostnames' flag in the dhcpd.conf(5) man page. To tell dhcp clients to fetch their hostname from DHCP, you need to add it to a 'request' or 'require' block in dhclient.conf -- see dhclient.conf(5). It's been a long time since I ran a setup anything like that, so I cannot recall if that was all that was required, or if it was also necessary to write a small dhclient-script(8) to actually set the hostname. Another alternative is to use a dhclient-script to take the IP number allocated by the DHCP server, look up the corresponding address and then set that as the hostname. The bash HOSTNAME environment variable will be set from the output of the hostname(1) command, which is usually set from the hostname variable in /etc/rc.conf or from the output of '/bin/kenv dhcp.host-name' if that is set. Otherwise it uses a default hostname of 'amnesiac'.

since I have the gvfs port installed but it did the trick for me. What
I do is to edit the Makefile and add --without-gvfs to the
CONFIGURE_ARGS lines. The snag is that I invariably forget about this
by the next time the port gets upgraded and I have to sort the problem
out again. What could I add to /etc/make.conf to have this option added
to CONFIGURE_ARGS automatically?
[1] http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/index.html
[2] http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html
The gimp-app port Makefile should be hacked so that it adds --without-gvfs to
CONFIGURE_ARGS if the existing GVFS option is set to no. You can try
the attached patch 'gimp-app.Makefile.diff'. If it works, you can submit
it with a PR.
From the first link, I understand that it _could_ be that the
--without-gnomevfs currently in CONFIGURE_ARGS needs to be added to the
first part of the if-statement. If the first patch isn't sufficient,
restore the original Makefile and try the second patch
'gimp-app2.Makefile.diff'.

FreeBSD 8.0 i386 200905 snapshot DVD does not boot
Hi all: The FreeBSD 8.0 i386 200905 snapshot DVD does not boot up. I'm on a normal Celeron 1.6GHz Presario C300TU laptop with 160GB HDD and 2GB DDR2 RAM. The system just whirrs up the DVD drive, the LEDs blink for a few moments and then the installed FreeBSD 7.1 screen is presented. I tested the DVD drive by putting in the old FreeBSD 7.1 DVD and it works fine. As an additional investigation i wrote another DVD with -J -R flags (unnecessary though in my opinion) and even this DVD does not get booted up. The first thing i did was do a md5sum on the downloaded .ISO image and that is fine. Has anybody tried FreeBSD 8.0 i386 200905 DVD and could get it to boot ? Is there something that i'm missing here ? Any pointers are appreciated. thanks Saifi. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

7.0 - 7.1 crash every two day
Dear List, I've upgraded from source my 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE. It's a general purpose server for a small company and it's clients, running web, sql, mail and recursive dns. The machine is a Compaq ML350 G2. Version 7.0 was running on it for a year now without any problem. After 30 of April I've upgraded to 7.1 (I've followed the handbook) and since then nearly every two day the machine becomes unreachable except for echorequest. If i try to log in in the terminal it just hangs after i give my password. I'm out of any ideas. Please feel free to ask any more info that I've forgotten to provide.

Reading warnings when installing multiple ports
I often use make -DBATCH install to install ports. Problem: many ports spew out a warning/todo message after you install them (eg, you must manually create an x user or something). Since ports install recursively, I miss most of these messages. Can I tell ports to store these messages for me somewhere? Obviously, I can make -DBATCH install /tmp/outfile, but that'll log all the install, test, etc commands that I don't want to see: I just want to see the warnings at the end of each install. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

Since it's my first FreeBSD, I didn't thought there was an issue, but I think there's one ;) I have a P4 2.8 HT which is too bad computer and I really think the issue is in freeBSD and the Giant Locked and stuff like that. The computer stays in a waiting mode for about 3 minutes or something like that. It's unbearable, however, since I reboot like once in a month, it's not that bad ;) But I'm still wondering why it's so slow. I have compiled my own kernel, removed driver I don't use but I kept all usb drivers. Like I told you, it's really the USB part that seems to be long to load. It's like it's waiting for a stabilization mode that is never coming. Anyone had that kind of issue? I'm running 7.2 and it's been there since the installation with 7.1. Thanks and have a nice day Michel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If not, do a diff on your config and the GENERIC config, and paste it for us. (On a side note, is your machine's `hostname` in /etc/hosts? I've had a problem with sendmail hanging for some time because the hostname was not resolvable. Just a side-thought.) -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If I remember correctly, yes but I don,t remember. Can you tell me if I don't want to lose my actual kernel, how can I make a new kernel and install it not as principal one. This is explained in the handbook and the manual pages. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html You want to use 'nextboot' and specify the kernel location. (On a side note, is your machine's `hostname` in /etc/hosts? I've had a problem with sendmail hanging for some time because the hostname was not resolvable. Just a side-thought.) Yes it is in. And it's not the sendmail that is slow, it's the detection / kernel step... not the service steps. If you're using 7.2 (-RELEASE I assume?) and this has been happening since 7.1, it's not something that has changed recently. I don't recall seeing issues like this on this list (or stable@ for that matter). Perhaps it is a hardware problem, but I've never been good at diagnosing hardware issues. -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

howto sidestep sysinstall during installation

I believe a similar feature is planned for portupgrade but as far as I know it hasn't been released yet. In any case, you can redisplay the pkg-message for any installed port by: % pkg_info -Dx portname Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
