Problem with Xfree86 resolution

[Dragoncrest]

	Not sure if this is something I did, or it's a limit of the driver or the 
card.  But I have a Nvidia FX 5200 I'm running and I tried bumping it to 
1400x1050 resolution with no luck.  Same with 1600x1200.  It seems stuck at 
1280x1024 resolution and I can't get it to go any higher.  Do I need to 
bump my monitor refresh or sync or anything like that?  I'm kinda stumped 
on this.  Any pointers would be welcome.  Thanks.

Sound Capture/Editing under Freebsd

[Dragoncrest]

	Went looking all over the internet for this and can't find anything.  I'm 
looking for either a console based or graphically based (preferably the 
second) sound capture and possibly a sound editing program.  What I'm doing 
is converting all my old audio tapes to MP3 before the tapes die and the 
only way to do this for me right now is to dust off my old windows box and 
do it there, which I'd prefer not to do if possible.  I'd rather do it 
under Freebsd if I could.  What I'd be doing is taking an audio feed from 
the tape player to the Line-In jack on the sound card, then capturing the 
video directly from there.  Anyone know of a tool under Freebsd that'll do 
that?  Again, I looked and couldn't find anything.  I googled several times 
too and got nothing.  So any pointers or help would be welcome.  Thanks.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE

[Dragoncrest]

I tried your suggestion and so far so good.  I'm still seeing a 
small amount of dns lookup stacking (IE if one request hasn't completed the 
others are put on hold till it's done rather than doing parallel lookups) 
that's stalling a few requests, but otherwise my browsing problem seems to 
be solved overall.  I'd like to figure out how to drop my default dns 
timeout from 30 seconds to something like 7-10 seconds.  Reason I'm 
thinking that is because my network is fast enough that if I haven't gotten 
an answer back within 7-10 seconds, I'm certainly not going to get one 
within 30.  Now comes the fun of RTFM and figuring out if that's possible 
under freebsd. :D

I haven't seen slow host lookups with Mozilla since removing IPv6 from

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE

[Dragoncrest]

Well, so far the Mcop thing doesn't help any.  But I think I'll 
give the IPv6 in the kernel thing a try.  I did notice that BSD for some 
reason seems to look at IPv6 stuff first for some oddball reason.  It's 
still hanging at random times just like yours.  Hmm.  But at least lynx is 
working.  Too bad I can't see pictures.  ;)

Bandwidth tracking/monitoring on Freebsd

[Dragoncrest]

Hi all.  Got a question.  I got a box on my network that I'd like to be
able to track bandwidth usage on.  Just to see how much traffic is
passing through it in a one month period and daily over a 24 hour
period.  Is there some kind of application I can use to log total bytes
sent and total bytes recieved?  I don't need to know specifically WHAT
was sent, but rather HOW MUCH of it was sent.  IE 6 gigs inbound
traffic, 2 gigs outbound traffic.  It's running Freebsd 4.9 right now. 
What is the easiest way to do this short of setting up IPFW and doing a
kernel compile and all that nasty stuff.  Any suggestions will be welcome.

Strange network behavior

[Dragoncrest]

	Hi again all.  Ok, I'm slowly starting to nail down my problems with slow 
dns through some research and I think I may have found part of the cause 
through something I encountered with my network.  When doing transfers 
between machines, sometimes I'm able to do a full 100mbps between machines, 
other times it crawls at 10-20mbps between machines at most.  If I simply 
do the command "ifconfig" at the console, suddenly I rush back to 100mbps 
transfer rates and all my networking woes (dns, file transfers, web 
browsing, etc) go away for a while only to come back again later.  I'm 
obviously missing something here, but once again I'm unsure of where to 
look for the answers.  Can anyone provide some insight into why this may be 
happening?  Much appreciated.  Oh, PS, this same behavior is happening on 3 
different machines in two different locations with entirely different 
hardware between the three.  None of them has anything in common.  Two of 
the machines are running Freebsd 4.9 and one is running 4.8 just FYI.  :)

starting xwindows apps from console?

[Dragoncrest]

I know I saw something about how to do this at one time, but I can't
seem to find any information about it anymore.  What I'm looking to do
is start several KDE gui based apps from a remote ssh session.  I can do
it from the actual machine via the console because it knows how to find
the running Xserver and selected desktop. But if I'm remotedly shelled
in via SSH, it has no idea where Xwindows is or if there's an active
desktop or KDE session going.  I do remember one time seeing an example
of how to do this that was something like "/path/to/app/appname :0 d1"
or something along those lines.  This would then allow me to start a gui
app in KDE (provided it was running) via my remote shell.

Does anyone know the exact command to make this work?  It would be
useful for me if I'm doing remote troubleshooting for any of my friends
and family where I need them to use a particular gui app, but I don't or
can't get them to navigate over and find it.  (yes, I have friends and
family using bsd and nix who are that clueless, but at least they're
using nix now instead of windows.  hehe)

slow dns resolutions

[Dragoncrest]

Hi all.  Just started getting these problems over the last couple of
days and thought it was my ISP's dns servers, but it would seem that's
not true.  When trying to resolve websites via the browser, or doing
nslookups via shell or anything for that matter that would require dns
resolution, I've found that the windows machine at my desk resolves
sites almost instantly with exactly the same DNS settings as my BSD box.
 Yet my FreeBSD box can take up to a full minute or more to resolve
names, many times just timing out on DNS resolution and often having to
repeatedly lookup the same hostname it just looked up each time it
needed something from that host.

Resolv.conf has the right dns servers in the right order and my hosts
file is perty much bare, save for the names of both machines at my desk,
so I'm stumped as to what could be causing this.  Can anyone suggest
anything?

Is it feisable to do a Firewall'ed DHCP server?

[Dragoncrest]

I'm looking to take an old P120 with 128m of ram and turn it into a lan
DHCP server.  The thing is, the guys who will be pulling DHCP addresses
are cream of the crop computer users who really know their way around. 
So I plan to have all network services (minus DHCP of course) turned off
and I will have IPFW running as well to protect the box from most hack
attempts.

The network itself with be a 300+ person gaming lan broken down into 24
person Vlan's for added security.  The box in question will only be
console accessible to the average user.  AKA, you ain't at the console,
you don't get in as I plan to turn off sendmail, ssh, everything except
DHCP and IPFW.  So, how feisable is it to actually run a system like
this?  I realize I gotta open up certain ports in the firewall rules to
allow DHCP.  I'll figure those out later.  I'm more curious if these
steps to protect the security of the box are doable and if so, would
they be practical?  I'm just thinking ahead like this because I don't
want the box to get hacked and used to bring down the network.

I'm also looking to set the firewall to log ALL packets so that if we
have a problem user, we can use the firewall logs to identify said user.
 I'd be looking for things like port scanning and other hacking/virus
like activity.  We had our network brought down once by same said virus
and hacking activity but never found who did it.  So this is our new
plan to prevent that from happening and detect and remove said
individuals who are causing said issues.

It's hard enough running a 300 person gaming lan.  We want to be sure
that we don't have it brought to its knees like last time.

Look in /usr/local/etc/
sshd proably checks there first. this sort of thing happened to me
with procmail and procmail.rc. Until of course i read the man page.
sshd will refuse to start if no config file. I reckon it is in there.

also a locate sshd_config after running /etc/per*/week*/310* to update
the search db.
Almost there.

Problem with ssh

[Dragoncrest]

Hi again everyone.  Ok, this issue just popped up today on a different
machine, but it's still bugging me either way.  My home mail server
(freebsd 4.8) has SSH available to the internet so I can get into the
box from work if need be.  That is the only port open as it's a fetching
mail server so port 25 isn't available to the rest of the world.  Nor is
110.  What I just discovered today is that my sshd is allowing auth by
public key OR password.  I don't want it to auth by password.  JUST
public key.  So in other words if you don't already have the public key
file, well, it sucks being you because you won't get connected.

Anyone know how to do this?  Or would this question be better handled on
an SSH mailing list?  If so, which list is best and how do I sign up? 
Much apreciated on the info.  Thanks.

Problem with someone port scanning me

[Dragoncrest]

	For the past couple of days I've had someone on our lan port scanning my 
box.  Not sure what's up with that, but I'm curious if there's a way to log 
what IP address this is coming from.  I don't have IPFW enabled yet as I 
haven't had the time to configure it at this point as it's currently behind 
the company firewall on our T3.  Is there a way to log where it's coming 
from?  Or is that already being logged somewhere?

Re: Problem upgrading KDE (Problem Solved)

[Dragoncrest]

Ok, I found a solution and a work around for this.  I was sweating
bullets the whole time because I wasn't sure this was gonna work and I
could just picture myself horking my KDE install because of this.  Ok,
here's what I did.  Since kdelibs wouldn't install so long as kdebase
was installed, I simply uninstalled kdebase, installed kdelibs, then
installed kdebase.  Strangely enough, it worked.  :D

So if any of you find that you encounter this strange issue, this is
your fix.  :)

Problem upgrading KDE (kdelibs??)

[Dragoncrest]

	Hi all.  When trying to do a port upgrade of KDE I'm hitting something 
that says it needs to be upgraded called kdelibs-3.1.4_1, but when I tried 
to upgrade that, it says that it can't be upgraded because kdelibs 
conflicts with kdebase which are installed to the same directory.  Is 
kdelibs and kdebase the same thing, just with a different name?  Can I 
safely yank kdebase and install kdelibs in its place to fix this?

HD and MB selection?

[Dragoncrest]

Hi all.  Just getting ready to build a new workstation using Freebsd 4.9
(*and eventually 5.x once it reaches the classification of "stable") for
up at my job and I'm curious of what motherboard and hard drive would be
best to use under Freebsd for maximum compatibility with as few issues
as possible.  Right now I'm looking at 3 different motherboards,
although I'm up for suggestions of other ones if these three really
aren't right for the job.

MSI K7N2 Delta (nforce)
Asus A7N8X (nforce)
Asus A7V8X (via)

Also, what brand of HD do you guys trust most?  What works best with
Freebsd?  I'm probubly going to pick up a pair of 80g Western Digitals,
but again I'm open to other suggestions.  Any suggestions are greatly
apreciated.  Thanks.

Problems with dual HD's under FreeBSD.

[Dragoncrest]

Ok, I admit I've never encountered this issue before, so I'm stumped. Being 
the cautious type I first installed Freebsd by removing my backup drive and 
booting that way. That was to prevent myself from acidentily nuking my 
secondary drive which is my backup/storage drive. Ok, Freebsd install goes 
great and I'm now ready to add the second HD back in and mount it. One 
problem. Upon boot it loads the ATA drivers for ata0 and ata1 (primary and 
secondary IDE controlers) and then it tries to initialize ad0 which it 
successfully does, but it gets a read error on drive 2 which is ad1. If I 
run these drives on separate controlers I have zero issues, but when 
they're together as master/slave, whichever drive is slave refuses to 
initialize, however the bios sees it fine. I've got it running with the 
cdrom and drive2 on the secondary IDE and drive1 on the primary IDE. Thing 
is, they worked fine as master/slave before I reloaded BSD. Interestingly 
enough, even the boot floppy for installing the OS gives a fit about this.

So in short until I unplugged the second drive and switched it from master 
to single and back to master I didn't have any issues. Since the drives are 
UFS I can't test this with dos to see if it sees both drives. About all it 
could test is if it could see the partitions. I admit this isn't really all 
that bad as the system is working, but I'm worried that having the cdrom 
connected to the 2nd HD on the same controler will cause it to slow down 
the 2nd HD.

Anyone got any recommendations on how to correct this HD problem? First 
drive is a 40g WD, second drive is an 80g WD. Both UFS formatted. The 40g 
drive has the OS on it, the 80g drive is drive2, the backup drive.

Re: security issue.

[Dragoncrest]

It may be best to do two things.  1st would be to disable pings to 
and from the server at the router by putting in an ACL on the router.  The 
second thing you'll want to do is block access to that machine via the 
router from any suspect IP's or IP blocks that you suspect might be 
attacking your machine.  They already know it's there, so they're going to 
begin or continue to try to attack it now, so you'll want to block them 
from being able to access it now. Once you've done that, keep an eye on 
your machine for a while for any other possible attacks.  Once they stop 
and nothing shows up for about 2 weeks it should be safe to remove the 
ACL's from the router, but continue to monitor it for a while longer just 
to be sure and add them back if nessisary.

 Also as I know from my friend on IRC DALnet network that dragons.dal.net

 Maybe because of an IRC server you have this attack?
 I had two IRC servers on DALnet in Past, and im familier with this trouble.
 anyhow, IRC is not my part of concern or who owns it.
 Kifco is my concern.
 Can you disable all PINGS from router to my server?
 Please can you update me and check this issue?
 Your updating for me, is really appreciate it

RE: Arplookup error.

[Dragoncrest]

I'd like to know this too. I have a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE box that exhibits the
same symptoms. The addresses it complains about belong to a colo box on our
network and a cisco router.
That's a big Ditto for me too.  I got the same problem on one of 
my bsd workstations up at work too, but only when accessing either of our 
two Oracle servers.  So yeah, I'd love to know the resolution to this too

Re: Freebsd list rejects mail.

[Dragoncrest]

You need an A record and an PTR record (aka forward and reverse 
lookup records respectively) for it to work.  I encountered much the same 
problem back when I was first setting up my own mail server and trying to 
send to the list.  The idea behind them requiring both is it cuts down on a 
lot of spam getting through.  :)

Have your ISP put in an A record as well for your mail server 
matching the name you have already specified for it, in your case 
"host4.kifco.net" and you should be all set in about 24 hours.  Of course 
if you're " doing your own DNS, just edit the zone file for "kifco.net" and 
add the following entry.

host4   IN A216.65.57.4

Again, give it 24 hours and you should be golden.  :)

You need to add a reverse record for your ip address. I think the
mailing list server rejects anything for which it cannot retrieve
an .in-addr.arpa record.

Re: upgrading 4.8 to 4.9 question....

[Dragoncrest]

Mergemaster is definately one way to do it, but I prefer 
Portupgrade.  It's much simpler as far as I'm concerned and does as good a 
job as mergemaster with less thinking involved on the part of the user.  :)

Just CVsup your ports, then do "portupgrade -r -all", then walk 
away and let it run.  If you want to do a single port, just do "portupgrade 
-r portname"

Best of luck.  :)

On the whole... no.  But that doesn't mean you won't run into problems.
You can resolve those when you get there though ;)

Try man mergemaster.

Help!: 160 gig only seen as 152 gig??

[Dragoncrest]

	I have a Freebsd workstation running 4.9 on an Epox 8k9A2+ MB and the 
silly thing sees my brand new Western Digital HD as 160gig in the bios, but 
BSD only sees it as 152gig.  Now 8 gig isn't all that bad of a thing to 
loose on a drive that big, but still, it's too weird that I would be unable 
to get to that last 8 gig.  When going into Fdisk I get the error that the 
geometry on the drive is wrong and it suggests a much more appropriate, 
albeit smaller, geometry.  Is this something I'm doing wrong in setting up 
the drive, or is this a limitation or problem in BSD?  Or is it simply a 
limitation of the hardware?  I'm not going to cry over 8 gigs lost, but I 
would really like to know if there's something that can be done to fix 
this, or am I kinda SOL?

USB External Hard Drives

[Dragoncrest]

	Anyone know what external USB drives are supported by Freebsd?  Also, 
which ones are best?  I tried the pocketec ones but they suck.  Major 
league suck.  So I'm looking for other options in the USB external hard 
drive area.  I'm game for any recommendations you guys have.

Should I upgrade to 4.9?

[Dragoncrest]

	I'm upgrading all my workstations to 4.9 tonight, but I have a small mail 
server (p120 with 120m ram) that's running 4.8 that does nothing more than 
fetch mail, sort it, scan it, then deliver it locally for me to pick up at 
my leisure.  I'm wondering if it would be in my best interests to leave it 
at 4.8 for right now or go ahead with the 4.9 upgrade.  The mail server is 
my only mission critical machine right now, so that's why I'm asking 
this.  It's the only box I can't afford to have go down.  Any help or 
suggestions is welcome.  Thanks.

Deleting dirs to save space.

[Dragoncrest]

	Got a server I'm trying to reclaim some space on and I was looking for 
some input.

	I've nuked the ports tree and /usr/src, but it's still not enough.  I'm 
looking at deleting /usr/obj/usr/src to gain another 400 megs, but I'm 
unsure if it's safe to do so.  Can I do it or should I just leave it alone?

USB 2.0 support in 4.8?

[Dragoncrest]

	Was out doing my research on support for USB 2.0 in Freebsd and noticed 
that 5.1 appears to have full support for USB 2.0, but 4.8 does not.  Is 
this true or am I missing something?  I'm trying to get access to the full 
speed of USB 2.0 and I'm not having any luck at it.  If it's not available 
in 4.8 I'll just leave it at that, but if it is, it means I need to do more 
research to find out why I can't access it for some reason.  Thanks for the 
info.

Mounting FTP sites to directory?

[Dragoncrest]

Went googling on this and haven't come up with anything yet.  So since
I've already done all my outside research first (as suggested by several
members.  hehe) so I'm coming to you as a last resort to gather some
information on my question.

What I'm wanting to do is to mount an FTP site to a folder on my file
system.  That way when I go to, oh say /mysite on my file system, it
would automatically log me into "ftp.mysite.org/Pub/" for example and
display the remote site as though it were on my local system.  I could
then open, copy, move, edit, etc any files I wanted to as though they
were local.  Any way I can do this?

Turning off that bloody nagscreen on bittorrent!

[Dragoncrest]

	Anyone know if there's a special switch or something on the Freebsd 
BitTorrent port or some way to go inside the python script and shut off 
that bloody nag stuff he's got built into his new version 3.3?  It's 
driving me up a freaking wall.  It loads, gags the client, displays the 
"give me money" browser window, then leaves me stuck with a dead process I 
can't kill cause I can't tell if it's one I wanna keep or not, and I have 
to try 2-3 times or more to open one stupid torrent file because the writer 
is bound and determined to make me donate to him in order to stop it.

	Can someone tell me how to disable that so I can download via BT in peace 
like with the old version?  Either that or give me the link to the old 
package so I can return to using that.  New features or not, this nag 
screen stuff is pathetically annoying.  Asking on first time use would be 
ok, but not every FREAKING time.  Sorry for the rant guys.  This has my 
feathers a bit flustered.

Trouble installing Endeavour Mark 2 from source.

[Dragoncrest]

I decided to give up on Konquer as a file manager (sucks royally
anyways) and switch to Endeavour.  The version 1.x is kinda lame so I
went to try and install the Mark II 2.x version from the source on the
homepage.  It won't install.  I did what it said to do for freebsd and
configure said that all was good minus an option file that was missing.
 So I went and did "Make All" like it said and it complained about 2 key
files missing.  So I go up into the Endeavour directory and tried to
build it directly from there.  It says that the first file it wants to
build is missing.

Can anyone help me get this installed?  Or do I have to write the ports
people to have them do a port of this for the ports tree?  I'd realy
like to start using this soon if possible.  Thanks.

Strange behavior in Konquer when managing files

[Dragoncrest]

Not sure what to make of this.  But within the past week or so Konquer
has started having a problem where the mouse pointer tends to become
"sticky" when clicking on folders in the left viewing pane.  If I click
on a folder and move the mouse up or down it seems to grab the folder
then try to drag it to wherever my mouse is going.  If I move the mouse
left or right it doesn't do that.  It also doesn't exhibit this behavior
in any other program except Konquer and only when I'm managing files and
only in the left pane where the directory tree is.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?  Also, is there a better graphical
file manager for KDE than Konquer?  It kinda seems to be a bit lacking
in the file management department.  Thanks.

Got a problem, need to enlarge /tmp

	I've got a sight problem I need help with.  Trying to install WolfET on my

this short of a complete wipe and repartition of the drive?  Or can I 
temporarily mount another drive to /tmp, install the game, then 
umount/mount back to what it was?  I know I probubly should have made my 
/tmp 512megs, but when I was originally installing this box I didn't think 
about that at the time.  Is there a way to work around this problem or am I 
kinda screwed in general?

Pocketec drive and Freebsd?

that freebsd != linux in some respects I wanted to see if there was 
anything additional I needed to know about this drive and mounting it to my 
system.  Anyone used one of these under freebsd?  Any luck with them?  How 
easy are they to use under freebsd?  Thanks for the info!

Questions about mkisofs

[Dragoncrest]

Hi all.  Just curious of something.  I'm probably doing something 
wrong and totally not paying attention, but for some reason when I run 
mkisofs, all my files get truncated at 12 charecters and some weird 001 is 
appended to the rest of the name.  I use the following command when 
building an iso file for burning:  mkisofs -R -U -o mycd.iso 
/path.to.files/to.be.burned/

I'm obviously missing something because I've gotten files with 
names up to 128 charecters long to be included in an iso when burning them 
in windows, but not in freebsd using mkisofs.  I've also been able to make 
the disk name 16 charecters long in windows but only 12 with mkisofs.  Can 
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the options on mkisofs and help 
me fix it?  Like I said, I've read the man file and I thought I had it all 
correct, but apparently that's not true.  Much apreciated on the help.  Thanks.

Re: SCO Group

[Dragoncrest]

I agree with your general point that SCO hasn't given us any reason to 
suppose they'd treat the BSDs - or more specifically, BSD users - 
differently than in the case of Linux.  However, if you don't work for a 
fairly large company and don't have untold personal wealth, there seems 
little reason to suppose SCO would waste time pursuing you or your employer.
I fully agree with this.  Besides, it's already been proven that 
this whole thing is an pump and dump money grab by the company that owns 
SCO.  They're doing the lawsuits in order to pump their stocks, then once 
they sell off everything they'll in turn disenfranchise themselves from 
SCO, put as much distance as they can between them, and let IBM chop up and 
burn SCO for kindling.  They were kinda hoping that IBM would just buy up 
SCO at a sizeable profit to the owners of SCO in order to silence this 
suit.  That didn't happen and after IBM basically said they'd run SCO into 
the ground, the original planners of this whole scheme are now trying to 
grab whatever cash they can and run.

If you don't believe me, read up on Wired and several other tech 
news sites, CNN, and others.  Half the execs at SCO have sold off all their 
stocks already and the President of the company is getting close.  They're 
doing it a bit at a time so as not to draw too much attention from the 
SEC.  The proof is out there and in massive quantities if you want to find 
it.  Besides, if SCO really wanted to fry IBM for any kind of infringement 
they would have gone to court months ago, not postponed the court date for 
middle of 2005.  The idea behind that is that the company that owns SCO (a 
group of lawyers also famous for suing Microsoft on another money grab and 
winning big) hopes to either have sold the company to IBM or someone else 
for a considerable profit or have sold their stocks, made their cash and be 
long gone by then.

Of course MS and Sun are loving this up and helping out SCO a lot 
since they see Linux as their worst competitor.  In their eyes the sooner 
linux dies the happier they'll be.  Oh well, too late now cause Linux (and 
the BSD's) are here to stay.  :)

Ok, I withdraw my previous statement.  It appears I'm now having

my KDE versions.  Found out I didn't have the latest version like I

My guess would be that there's an error in the make file or build 
scripts for this.  Since this is happening on the "make install" part of 
the process I'm not sure what can be done for this short of waiting on the 
maintainer to update the port with a corrected make file or make 
script.  Aside from that, you're stuck for now.

Re: Upgrading sshd?

[Dragoncrest]

Silly question.  Been trying to update my code today and all I can 
seem to update to is 3.6.1, yet I've seen other distros with 3.7.1p1 
already.  I think the openssh website also has 3.7.1p1 on it 
too.  Obviously the ports tree has gotta catch up, but does anyone know 
when it will?  For right now I can live with just shutting off access to 
ssh for now, but I'd like to upgrade to the 3.7.1p1 as soon as it's 
available for Freebsd.

Right.  openssh is part of the base system, and not normally installed
as a package.  There is a security advisory newly out on the usual
FreeBSD mailing lists, and it gives instructions on fixing just this
one problem, but it's probably better to update the whole system when
you get a chance.  [Note that this vulnerability does *not* give
attackers an opportunity to run their code on your system.]

Re: Upgrading sshd?

[Dragoncrest]

What I had to do to make this work was build OpenSSH 3.6.1 by 
hand, install it which puts it in /usr/local/sbin/sshd then test it.  I 
fired up the new one on port 2000 and tested it there.  When I could prove 
that worked I killed the process running on port 22, copied sshd to 
sshd.3.5p1 (just in case something goes bad you still have the old version) 
then copied sshd from /usr/local/sbin/ to /usr/sbin/, restarted the sshd on 
port 22, then tested that.  Once I was happy that all was working right I 
killed the one on port 2000 and I was all set.  Seemed to work like a charm.

Maybe a little overly cautious on my part, but since I was doing 
the upgrade via ssh I didn't feel like cutting myself off by accident then 
having to drive 30 miles into work to console in and fix the 
problem.  Believe me, I've done it before.  :)

Hi all,

Refering to the latest sshd vurnability 
(http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/16/1327248.shtml?tid=126&tid=172) I 
was thinking of upgradeing my sshd as well. So I cvsup'ed my system (FBSD 
4.8) and there seems to be a updated file for sshd. But how do I upgrade 
sshd safly since when I type 'pkg_info |grep ssh' it return no packages. I 
guess sshd is included somehow by the default install (??) but how can I 
now upgrade it? I was thinking of portupgrade, but it needs a package to 
upgrade...

Thanks!

Re: Replacement for WinRar?

[Dragoncrest]

Well, file splitting (breaking up a rar file by user selected byte 
size), simple GUI interface, right click and archive, double click extract, 
file preview, tunable compression ratios.  Those are just for 
starters.  It's one of the reasons I use WinRar on windows cause of all the 
stuff it does.  The biggest selling point for a BSD equivalent would be the 
ability to do both Rar and Zip and to be able to split a large archive into 
smaller pieces.  Those are the two things I like most about it.  :)  Not 
that it does them, but does them in the most idiot proof manor.  Something 
even I can't screw up!  :D

What exactly does WinRar do that you want to replicate?
'Everything' is pretty broad.

Actually, it's rebooting randomly during installs or upgrades 
only.  It did it once due to spam assassign, but that was a long time 
back.  I did however encounter something of interest that might give us 
some insight into this.  Even though I'd periodically have failed builds or 
installs, or even reboots at random during this, I always seemed to get a 
lot of this one ruby error.  Here's two examples.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkginfo.rb:45: [BUG] rb_gc_mark(): 
unknown data type 0x7(0x8053e04) corrupted object

data type 0x7(0x82024dc) corrupted object
ruby 1.6.8 (2003-03-26) [i386-freebsd4]

I've since done a pkgdb -F to see if that would help and it did 
find one small error in the database.  So not sure if that fixed it or 
not.  I am however fully completed with all the upgrades after 5 painful 
hours, so that's at least good.  That means I shouldn't have to touch this 
for a while longer at which this problem may crop up its ugly head.  I'll 
keep an eye on it and report anything new I find.  I don't expect this to 
be easy to solve.  But we'll keep looking for clues.

Speaking of clues, is there a way to log everything that goes on 
in a TTY session?  I've noticed that when this thing crashes it prints 
something to the screen (I can't see it cause I'm away at another desk when 
it does it) about the crash and a reboot in 15 seconds but I'm never fast 
enough over there to catch it.  I want to try and catch that in a file if 
possible so I better know what's wrong with this thing.  I'm sure it has 
something to do with adding a switch to the logging system, but I can't 
find where to add the switch and which one would do it.  Any input would be 
welcome.  Thanks.

Re: Mail server reboot while upgrading ports

[Dragoncrest]

As in hardware fault?  Hmm, I'd almost be willing to believe that 
but I've got an identical machine which acts as it's backup that does the 
same thing from time to time.  And it's never in the same way in the same 
spot or doing the same thing.  That's what's puzzling the living heck out 
of me.  But then again my two BSD workstations don't have this issue, so 
again it's entirely possible.

Mail server reboot while upgrading ports

[Dragoncrest]

	Was just going about doing an upgrade to my primary mail server yesterday 
and right in the middle of it doing its thing I hear a beep, it stops, then 
reboots.  No warnings, no errors, nothing.  Just reboots.  Tracking it back 
I was somewhere in the middle of upgrading /usr/ports/dns/p5-net-dns when 
it burped.  It's done that to me before with python upgrades on a different 
box.  I couldn't see what was actually happening at the console as I was 
across the room ssh'ed in when it did this.  Logs don't show anything sadly 
enough and for some reason I can't get the box to log portupgrade or make 
so I can see when errors like this might happen.  Anyone got any ideas what 
might be happening?  I did get the port upgraded, but not before having to 
go in and clean up the mess that this reboot left.  I can't say this was 
necessarily caused by the dns port I was upgrading cause it's done it in 
the past a couple of times with other ports nearly the same way.  Yet after 
it reboots if I go in and install the port manually (usually have to as the 
port gets trashed because of whatever it is that reboots the machine) to 
fix it, then everything plays nice.  I have no idea what's up.  Anyone have 
any thoughts on this?

Try using the script configuration (I forget which option (#3 I think)) for

Strange Mouse issue

[Dragoncrest]

Recently I had my BSD install go totally down in flames with a smashing
finale where it exploded into a billion pieces and wafted off into
oblivion.  (blame the hardware, not me.)  Anywho, I've since resurrected
the box but with one strange little quirk.  The mouse freaks out like a
cat on crack.  Any movement causes it to jump to the upper left corner,
go absolutely apesh** and do some totally weird things like false right
and left clicks even if all I'm doing is moving the mouse.  Reboot
didn't resolve the issue (had to reboot anyways as part of a kernel
rebuild) so I am assuming it's not a hardware issue.  The mouse works
fine in the console, but it absolutely will not work under X.  Any
ideas?  I've even rebuilt my X config several times.

Re: Why people are not satisfied with FreeBSD?

For instance, I'm writing this on a Linux box, but have 3 FBSD servers I

Just for the curiousity of the original poster, yes, I use Freebsd

I either can't do with my freebsd at this time, or it requires windows as a

Re: Issue installing Python/Bittorrent

[Dragoncrest]

Roger that.  Thanks.  Any word on when the patch is due out?  Is there a
way to go back to a previous version of BT in order to make it work?

Issue installing Python/Bittorrent

[Dragoncrest]

Well, what started all of this was my recent upgrade of Python to
version 2.3 as part of my portupgrade cycle.  Well, as things would have
it, bittorrent stopped working.  So I tried to force reinstall of BT but
it fails when installing /usr/ports/math/py-numeric.  I get the
following series of errors.

rc/umathmodule.c:1952: `acosh' undeclared here (not in a function)
Src/umathmodule.c:1952: initializer element is not constant
Src/umathmodule.c:1952: (near initialization for `arccosh_data[0]')

Stop in /usr/ports/math/py-numeric.

Anyone know how to fix this?  Do I have to update one of my make
programs or something?

Simple cron script to copy remote webpage locally?

[Dragoncrest]

I've got a webpage that updates dynamically on one of our servers and
lists a bunch of statistics about spam and such on our servers.  Problem
is, the script puts a load on the server if too many people access it
and it eventually kills the server.  I would like to lower the traffic
on this server by setting up a script on a remote server that is
activated every 10 minutes by cron and automatically loads the remote
script then copies the results to a local file on the new public server
which people can then view at their leasure without killing our stats
server.  What is going to be the easiest way to do this?  I'm sure there
has to be a simple way to do this, but I'm kinda drawing a blank on how.
 Can anyone help?

Bandwidth needed for DNS server?

[Dragoncrest]

	Hi again all.  Looking to go into the next stage of our move to Linux by 
implementing an internal authoritative DNS server.  I only expect to hold 
zones for 4 different domains on it for now, so I'm not expecting much from 
it, but I'm curious how much bandwidth usage to plan for.  Right now our 
ISP does all our DNS, but I'd like to take it in house if possible so we 
have direct control over it.  If all our TTL's are set to 24 hours, what 
could I expect to see as far as an increase in bandwidth usage by doing 
this?  I'd like to be able to plan how and where I'm going to implement 
this so as to have the least impact on our network.

Site for software version announcements?

[Dragoncrest]

	Is there a site or mailing list that announces all of the latest software 
releases and versions for all things unix?  Or even just software in 
general?  I'm wondering cause I'm looking for a way to keep current on all 
the newest software the moment it's available.  Anyone know of something 
like this?

Can't install XFree86-4-FontServer

[Dragoncrest]

	HI call, I can't install or upgrade the XFree86-4-FontServer port on my 
box.  It's currently running 4.8 and it's bombing out with the error 
"/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lXfont"  I've done 4 consecutive port 
upgrades over the past month and this problem continues.  Anyone know how 
to fix this?

automatically adjusting time

[Dragoncrest]

Hi all.  I've got a server that keeps advancing it's local time by about
a minute every 3-4 days and I'm curious what steps I need to do to
syncronize the time with a given server so that it doesn't keep
advancing like this?  I know I saw it mentioned at one time but now I
can't remember.  Many thanks.

Re: BitTorrent for Freebsd??

GUI?  Can this run in console or does it have to run under a WM like KDE?

BitTorrent for Freebsd??

[Dragoncrest]

	Is there a copy of BitTorrent that will run on Freebsd?  Is it in the 
Ports cause if it is, I certainly haven't found it yet.  I'd like to run my 
BT downloads on my bsd box as that's the only machine that's ever up 24/7 
hence the perfect choice.

Re: Solved! (was: Question about rebooting server)

[Dragoncrest]

dont forget mergemaster, i had some strange problems after doing what you did
but didnt do mergemaster. IIRC it had to do with PAM and logging in using ssh
among others.
Ok, call me stupid.  What's Mergemaster?
