/dev/lpt0 for location heres my dmesg output:
lpt0: Printer on ppbus0

Is your printer connected using USB? If so, check your /dev directory. 
I think the device is /dev/ulpt0 for a USB-connected printer.

Yes it is connected using USB I don't see a /dev/ulpt0 entry however

Yeah, but they don't usually go on a 1+ month code-freeze when a
4.x-RELEASE comes out.


5.0 is a more complex beast than the 4.x releases were, which 
might explain why it has taken as long as it has and why the 
freeze is as long as it is.

I find it's never a good idea to complain about how long it takes 
someone to do the job right the first time.

you don't say if you need to preserve any of the path information

Re: Nachi Worm apparently causes Live Lock on 4.7 server

[paul]

James C. Durham wrote:

It turned out that we had several Windows boxes in the building that had been 
infected with the Nachi worm. This causes some kind of DOS or ping probe out 
onto the internet and the local LAN.

Removing the inside interface's ethernet cable caused the ping times on the 
outside interface to go back to the normal .4 milliseconds to the router.

Apparently, the blast of packets coming from the infected boxes managed to 
cause a live lock condition in the server. I assume it was interrupt bound 
servicing the inside interface. The packets were ICMP requests to various 
addresses.
I could be way off here, but is there any way to isolate machines 
that send a sudden blast of packets, either by destination address 
(make a firewall rule that drops those packets) or working out 
their MAC addresses and dropping their connectivity? Or scan for 
open ports and block unsecured systems from connecting?
My questions is.. what, if any, is a technique for preventing this condition? 
I know, fix the windows boxes, but  I can't continually check the status of 
the virus software and patch level of the Windows boxes. There are 250 plus 
of them and one of me. Users won't install upgrades even when warned this 
worm thing was coming. But, i'd like to prevent loss of service when one of 
Bill's boxes goes nuts!
Where I work, at the University of Washington, the network staff 
were dropping as many as 200 machines *per day* off the network. 
If a machine was found to have an open RPC port (we run an open 
network), that was enough to get your network access cut off.

I realize these are political solutions more than technical ones, 
but they may be of some use.

MPD automation trouble

[Paul]

Hello, All.

I use MPD under FreeBSD 4.7.
Now i needed to automate management of the MPD and i find out strange behavior of MPD 
(3.13):
One my program (myserver) transmits some set of commands for MPD via stdout, which is 
redirected
to MPD's stdin by shell:
command line: # myserver | mpd
One or two commands from this set are executed by mpd immediately, but other commands 
from
set hang somewhere until myserver sends to MPD another command's set, after that 
previouse
commands are successfully executed by MPD and new commands hang somewhere again.
When i use command like # myserver | cat, full set of commands is printed to console.
I want to understand why this happens and where commands hang.
Help me to solve the this problem, please.

pptpclient don't work with MPD

[Paul]

Hello, All.

I use MPD as VPN-server under FreeBSD 4.7.
When VPN client runs under windows(2000, XP) all right,
when VPN client is MPD and runs under FreeBSD all right too,
when VPN client is pptpclient from ports collection and runs under FreeBSD,
connection between MPD-server and pptpclient successfully stands up, but DON'T WORK.
i.e. when i try to ping another end of VPN-connection i get next logs:

VPN-server machine, mpd.log:

When i use PoPToP as VPN-server and MPD as VPN-client i get analogious results...

If somebody could connect MPD and pptpclient help me please.

Kernel building

[Paul]

I'm trying to build a custom kernel that I can eventually include a device 
for a (built in the mother board) sound controller. 

I tried several time and added back some devices which I think I don't need 
just to see if the kernel will make, however, it doesn't.  

I followed the directions in the handbook 
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
# make depend
# make  (fails here with Error code 1)

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE 

I'm attaching MYKERNEL with hopes someone can help.

(full access is temporary until I get it working)

 

When I run:

echo shell_exec(sudo echo hello);

 

in a php script in a web page running on apache2, it does nothing - I don't
get any feedback.

 

 

echo shell_exec(whoami); confirms that www is the correct user.

 

 

Any ideas?

Found the problem in the log file - the sudo command wasn't being found.

Thanks!

you should take a look at apache error log to see what sudo says.
i''ve never used sudo but when i make a shell script SUID 0, bash tells me
it is too dangerous to run a script in SUID 0. and that's probably
true because a lot can be modified in a script thru the environment.

default ACL's permission problems

[paul]

hello,

This applies to FreeBSD 5.3 Release:

I've followed the examples on setting up default acl's located at this website:

'Working With ACLs in FreeBSD 5.x'
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200310/acl.html

I'm having problems with this:

% umask 027
% mkdir dir

setfacl -m u::rwx,m::rwx,g::rx,o::rx dir
setfacl -dm u::rwx,m::rwx,g::rx,o::rx dir

setfacl -dm u:gregory:rwx,m::rwx dir

% touch dir/file.txt
% getfacl dir/file.txt 

#file:dir/file.txt
#owner:1009
#group:0
user::rw-
user:gregory:rwx# effective: r--
group::r-x  # effective: r--
mask::r--
other::---

when i attempt to write to file.txt as user gregory, I get permission
denied - I can see that this is what I should expect because the mask
is r--, but why? I've set rwx above? I saw a similar post on this
list, and it is mentions that the file will be masked with umask. am I
suppose to change my umask ? if so, why? why can't I set acl's to
simply apply the default acl which I've set on the dir to any
dirs/files created in that directory regardless of umask?

Any help would be appreciated,

Regards,

Paul

Questions regarding RAID support

[paul]

Hey everyone, I'm currently working on setting up a server with RAID1. The 
servers motherboard has an on board Intel MatrixRAID controller. FreeBSD6.0 
currently has partial support for this controller, given my circumstances I 
can wait awhile before the server goes live and was curious if anyone had any 
ideas as to the ETA for full support for this controller?

Thanks in advance

LiveCD FreeBSD

[Paul]

Dear FreeBSD

Up untill Dec 01 '05  I was a die hard MicroShaft user, too many lockups 
and garbage caused me to search for a new OS. That is when I came up 
with PCLOS. Then I got a web server and it runs FreeBSD. I would like to 
use FreeBSD on my local computer so I can learn it more.


Is there a LiveCD for FreeBSD I looked at the web site for Freebsd but 
was unable to be for sure what is there.


I perfer a LiveCD so I can first run it on my computer before I totally 
convert. Also when and if I convert will I lose all my desktop files?

inspiron 8000 pcmcia problem

[paul]

I've already posted this question to -mobile just trying to get as much traffic as 
possible ok I got a rather frustrating problem if anyone can help me it would be 
greatly appreciated I've tryed 3 pcmcia cards on my i8k all 3 of them give me device 
timeouts (netgear fa410tx, smc 8040, and a linksys card) all of which are on the 
hardware compat list except the smc card which i read somewhere is supported so i gave 
it a try. Anyway I added pccard_enable=YES pccardd_ifconfig=DHCP tryed 
ifconfig_ed1=DHCP for fun and i tryed changing the irq port with the -i flag for 
pccardd_flags and editing pccard.conf. Nothing seems to work I have miibus compiled in 
the kernel all the proper drivers all 3 of the cards are recognized at boot however i 
recieve the infamous ed1: device timeout message. The cards work on linux and windows 
maybe I'm missing something I have never dealt with pcmcia cards until now. I googled 
for 2 days and asked on numerous irc channels. Am I missing something? It seems to be 
a rather common problem with all the results from my google searchs. I've also 
disabled everything in my bios still nothing I've tryed using 4.9, 5.2rc2 and -current 
with  the same results. Someone please help me! I keep hearing its an irq conflict my 
card gets set to irq 10 its seems even when i try to change it..btw all tryed 
device.hints and kernel.conf.

 In your bios, is there an option for the pcmcia type??  Such as Auto,
 cardbus, and something else that I can't remember right now... I don't
know
 if the Dell's have that option, I haven't checked mine, but I know our
 toshiba's had it.  I haven't tried freebsd on a notebook, but when using
 Novell Netware's Zenworks Imaging, which uses linux base for the clients
 before imaging, I always had to set that option in bios to be cardbus
(auto
 would not work) for the cards we had (3com/megahertz FE575) in order for
it
 to be detected.

 -Mike

Nope there is no option in the bios for pcmcia, also i read somewhere to set
the pcic0 irq option in the kernel to the same irq as your network card?. I
tryed that didn't work also

IPFW won't go away!

[Paul]

Hi,

 

I run ipf and ipnat.  Recently I recompiled the kernel and since then ipfw
loads at boot and blocks all my traffic.

 

How do I disable it permanently or uninstall it?

 

I have checked and double checked that it is not in my /etc/rc.conf and
kernel config file.  So I don't know why it is loading:

...

sc0: System console at flags 0x100 on isa0

sc0: VGA 16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300

vga0: Generic ISA VGA at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0

sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

sio1: port may not be enabled

ugen0: ALCATEL Speed Touch USB, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2

Timecounter TSC frequency 851935333 Hz quality 800

Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec

ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, default
to deny, logging disabled

ad0: 9590MB HITACHI DK23BA-10/00E2A0D2 [19485/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33

..

 

 

Also, the reason I recompiled was to enable apm for my laptop.  How can I
tell if this is working - I want to be able to turn the screen off and for
it to speedstep its cpu clock.

 

I'm a noob to *nix machines so try not to assume too much knowledge in
responses.

 

Thanks

 

Paul.

Re: IPFW won't go away!

[Paul]

Hi,

 

Thanks for your responses so far. 

 

I have tried explicitly tried to disable it using: ipfw_enable=NO and
firewall_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf

 

My kernel configuration file doesn't contain any IPFIREWALL options.  I did
try adding options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT and recompiling/installing
but that didn't work.

 

Despite all of this it still loads up and by blocks everything! - this means
I have to type ipfw disable firewall at every boot.  I would prefer if it
wasn't there taking up cpu cycles.

 

HELP!

 

Paul

FreeBSD vs YouTube

[paul]

Hy
I'm pretty new to this mailing list, and FreeBSD, in the last 2 weeks i was 
trying to use FreeBSD as alternative to Windows, but i can't make the flash 
videos work on most of the popular flash video sites. I've tried to pkg_add, 
compile from source, swfdec-plugin, gnash on FreeBSD 7.3 and 8.1 ... but 
nothing worked, i can use mplayer to play movies so this shouldn't be a 
problem, when i use swfdec, there are some unhandled event (usually unhandled 
event 19) and sometimes can't write to a $HOME/.config/filename file, and with 
gnash i see an error occurred, please try again later message on the site. I've 
tried googling but most of the articles i found seemed outdated. So finally i 
came here with the question: Is it possible to watch youtube on a FreeBSD 
system ? And if it is, someone would be so kind to guide me to a FAQ / Article 
/ wiki / or tell me how to do it ?

 Thanks for the reply.  I am attaching the bash output from the shell
 script.  This script implements RPMs so I am sure that I need the linux
 module.  I had previously found a guide on how to install RPMs on FreeBSD.
 I have  a printer that has an RPM that allows it to work on Linus.  So I
 would think that I will need the Linux module in the future.
 
 I previously had made the stat change to the shell script and that part
 works.  But, the bash shell is reporting an 'od error.
 
 Finally, how much performance do you lose with the linux module emulator?
 
 Not much, probably none at all.  Some people even say that
 Linux binaries run faster on FreeBSD than they run on Linux,
 because they benefit from the better network code and VM
 system.
 
 Anyway, the linuxulator isn't really an emulator, it's
 rather an ABI-level compatibility layer, very similar to
 the i386 (32bit) compatibility layer on FreeBSD/amd64 (64bit).
 
 Do you believe I only need the emulator to get VMware installed or will it
 make other linux calls that are not part of FreeBSD?
 
 I'm afraid you won't be able to install vmware this way.
 I suggest you look at the emulator/vmware* ports in the
 ports collection.
 
 BRSINC-VM02# bash -vx VMware-Player-3.1.0-261024.x86_64.bundle
 [...]
   # XXX: put extraction in its own function
   MAGIC_NUMBER=`od -An -t u4 -N 4 -aj 
   $MAGIC_OFFSET $file | tr -d ' '`
 
 There's a bogus line break which is causing this particular
 parsing error.  Either join the lines, or put a backslash
 at the end of the first line (behind -aj).
 
 But I'm afraid this is the smallest of the problems.
 I suspect you won't be able to get this script to run
 correctly on FreeBSD, because it seems to do too many
 linux-specific things.

Filesystem/disk performance problems

[Paul English]

I have a filesystem which is showing some very odd problems on FreeBSD
4.4. The system has one 60GB IDE drive for the os and some user partitions and
one 800GB array of 120GB disks attached to a 3ware IDE-RAID controller.
The latter is all one big partition.

For most files and directories, copying/transferring them around is not a
problem. But for a couple of very specific directories, copying them seems
next to impossible. When I attempt to copy these, after a few minutes of
*extremely* slow copying (1k/min), the system load shoots up and the
system becomes virtually unusable.

In particular, working with one directory which is 11GB. Some
subdirectories, even large ones copy fine from /usr1 (a partition on the
60GB disk) to /raid (the partition for the entire raid array).

I can even make a tar of one of the non-working directories to /usr1, copy
the tar file to /raid (with no problems), then when I try to untar it on
/raid I get the same problem - very very slow (1k/min) and then the
system load shoots up to 10+ and the system becomes unusable.  In this
case the data is going from /raid - /raid instead of from /usr1 - /raid,
but it does not seem to help.

I've also tried using some other utilities than simply cp in an attempt
to fool the system - I've tried scp, and tar cf - . | (cd /raid;tar xf
-) as well.

There are no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages that look at all
related, and there are no messages that are accruing (for example while
attempting a copy).

 Maybe you want to read the following and try the patch:

 I'm not sure wether it patches cleanly against 4.4 but I'm sure you'll get
 assistance by the discussing people.


Thanks Harry - that certainly sounds applicable. I'm working on a
system-wide upgrade to 4.9 right now so getting it to work with 4.4 may be
a non-issue. It looks like I should plan on patching 4.9 though!

I'm glad to see that 3ware finally has mention of a new beta driver for
4.8. Maybe they hired a FreeBSD person at last!

Get the COM port one. For me I prefer something with a Conexant chipset. 
Has worked well for me throughout the years. Some USB ones are Winmodems.

RE: Setting up a NAT without a firewall

[Paul Hoffman]

Off-list, someone pointed out to me that ipnat is *much* easier to 
deal with than IPFIREWALL and all its baggage. No kernel rebuilding, 
no juggling with the firewall. Nice. For those of you in the same 
situation as me, definitely look into ipnat.

My system gets its external address from my ISP's DHCP server on 
interface em0. The machines in my house are connected to a switch 
that is attached to itnerface rl0.

Relevant stuff in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_em0=DHCP
ifconfig_rl0=inet 10.20.30.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway_enable=YES
ipfilter_enable=YES
ipnat_enable=YES
ipnat_rules=/etc/ipnat.conf
Contents of /etc/ipnat.conf:

map em0 10.20.30.0/24 - 0/32

Two notes not covered in the ipnat man pages:

- The man page doesn't say which interface name you use in the map 
statement; it's the external interface.

- If you get your external IP address from DHCP, you can use 0/32 
as the target. This is very handy.

Not needing the console for a system reload

[Paul Hoffman]

Greetings again. Sometimes I want to do a shutdown now; use 
/bin/sh; exit to reload the upper layers of the system without 
doing a full reboot. If I'm not at the console, I can't do this, so I 
have to do the reboot, which takes much longer because of all the 
kernel loading and hardware probing.

Is there a way to give a shutdown now; use /bin/sh; exit command 
from the command line if I'm logged in remotely? Or do I really need 
to use reboot and go through the whole hardware reinitialization?

 I don't think this is possible. The reason is (if I understand 
things correctly) that if you're in single user mode, the network 
isn't started, so there's no way of accessing the machine through 
ssh, rlogin or something similar.
Exactly right. That's why I want a script that starts the process 
while I'm logged in over the network, but finishes the process even 
after I'm kicked off.

 I think you're best off if you hook up a serial console to your 
machine and remotely access that console. There are commercial 
solutions for this but any low-end PC will do.
That is massive overkill for something that should be much simpler 
and hopefully not involve new hard ware.

port installation problems progress

[paul beard]

I had been having some problems installing ports: they manifested as 
configure misreading the system type and setting up libtool so it 
wouldn't build shared libs.

After some correspondence with a FreeBSD team member and a port 
maintainer, I decided to start afresh with a kernel and world 
reinstall. This led me to the solution. The email excerpted below 
mentioned almost the same error I was seeing:

http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg04153.html
For the last week or so, I've been having trouble building kernels 
against a
RELENG_4 source tree.  A 'make buildkernel' from /usr/src fails as 
follows:

perl5 /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl -h /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.src
syntax error at /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl line 135, near {}
Execution of /usr/src/sys/kern/vnode_if.pl aborted due to compilation
errors.
I took the advice suggested below.
http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg04174.html
I believe I have these resolved.
If anybody's interested, it took a reboot, buildworld followed by an 
install
from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl, then buildkernel went fine.  At Mike
Tansca's suggestion, I'd tried a buildworld (against a fresh source 
tree),
and I was getting cc errors - the reboot appears to have fixed those.  
My
build machine is now happily running a new kernel/world.

Some packages are building OK but I still see issues on some ports.
Any ideas how this might have gotten into this state and how I can 
resolve it completely?

lingering problems with ports collection

[paul beard]

I have been having (and reporting) some problems with my ports  
collection and I can't seem to get them resolved. For some reason, the  
system is rejecting the ports collection like a mismatched organ.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-March/ 
040320.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-March/ 
thread.html#38348

The upshot is that I can't reliably build ports due to some problems  
with shared libs not getting built.

Configure doesn't see this as a freeBSD system, but as some hybrid  
GNU/FreeBSD beast and sometimes sets the host type as  
unknown-kfreebsd-GNU. Then I find that while a port is recorded as  
installed, ports that depend on its shlibs fail. I can test this by  
making a package when I make the port, but the port is installed before  
packaging, so the end result is that I may have a package recorded as  
installed but I know i can't rely on it. (that seems backwards to me:  
what if I only want to build packages w/o installing them? can i do  
that?

To resolve this, I have:
built a new kernel and world from fresh sources (in the process finding  
another problem to do with /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl needing to  
rebuilt).

tossed my whole ports directory and moved aside the pkg database,  
pulling a fresh tree from CVS.

Still I see these problems. Also, dependencies don't get built  
automatically: if I build sysutils/portupgrade, I don't get prompted to  
build security/openssl or even lang/ruby: pkgdb will tell me, but not  
the ports tools themselves.

What sometimes helps is to change the USE_LIBTOOL directive from 13 and  
15: libtool 1.3 seems to be part of my problem. But that's not always  
working.

To be clear, I can build and install just from the source directory  
(/usr/ports/{PORTNAME}/work/portname). But that doesn't get it  
registered and if I got back up to the port's directory, the make  
commands will kick back errors I didn't see in the source directory.

 Sure, that's a standard multihoming scenario.
 Get an AS number (www.arin.net) and set up BGP peering with your ISPs.

That's a good answer, but not for this particular question.

Piotr, if your FreeBSD router has an Ethernet interface bound to the IP
assigned by each ISP, then the easiest way to transfer your NAT from one
ISP to the other is probably simply to kill the existing natd and re-run
it with a different -n option.  This *will* have the effect of taking
down your NAT for the transition period -- this is unavoidable.

You could achieve the transition with a simple shell script that would
ping the active connection, and if it fails, `killall natd`, wait for
the process to die, and re-launch with the different command line opts.

The exact mechanics are left as an exercise for the reader.  Or the
consultant he hires.  ;)

OK, I was going to try turning off DMA, but it won't. There isn't an actual

still does the same. Should I just give up or is there anything else to do?

script entry to finding the version after a cvsup

[Paul Hamilton]

Hi,

I have written a basic script to cvsup, buildworld and install the new
kernel-world etc.  I have introduced some basic logging, so I can track the
time taken.  Now I would like to track the version it was before the upgrade
(ie. uname -r ), and what it is after the upgrade.  Now, I can't use
uname -r, because the server has to be restarted so it can pick up the new
kernel etc.

So my question is,  where can I find a entry in the downloaded kernel/world
source files that says that it is FreeBSD 4.9 p9 etc.  I can't use
stable-supfile, because it only records the 'branch' that is being upgraded,
not the full version.

Any clues?

Cheers,

Paul Hamilton

one for the archives

[paul beard]

I had posted a couple of questions about my system suddenly refusing to 
build shared libraries and making my ports tool-based builds fail. The 
symptoms were that the host type was being misread as kfreebsd/gnu 
suggesting I had some Debian/FreeBSD frankenhost, and shared libraries 
would fail to build on most ports.

With some research from Pav Lucistnik [EMAIL PROTECTED], a rogue file 
-- /usr/include/features.h -- was discovered and removed. It's dated 
Nov 21, 2001, and is claimed by no package so I have no idea how it got 
there. But as far as I can tell, that was the culprit.

I will add this info to the PR as well.

whereis fails

[Paul Cocker]

Trying to use the whereis command, e.g. whereis XFree86-4 only to get the error:

Warning: Couldn't stat file /usr/local/man!
Warning: Couldn't stat file /usr/X11R6/man!

Neither of these directories exist (local, X11R6).  When I installed FreeBSD

I've cvsuped to the new version.
So, cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh  make depend  make all install

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Olaf Hoyer

 HI!
 
 Got @work a new Dell 1750 machine, serverworks Chipset w/Xeon CPU, also
 dual gigE Broadcom chipsets.
 FreeBSD 4.8-R failed to recognize the chip, but Knoppix 3.2 (Linux
 Distro, based on debian iirc, recognized the broadcom chips, iirc as
 5704 ones)

Yeah yeah yeah. Try a FreeBSD 4.9 snapshot. Support for the 5704 was
added after FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE came out. 4.9 should also support
the 5705 chips.

 It might be possible with Wine, but you would need a FAT partition, so
 that would definitely be the long way round - you might as well install
 Win9x in the FAT partition and run WordPerfect on DOS directly.  FreeBSD
 has several good free word processing programs of its own that you may
 want to look at - see URL: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/editors.html.

There's also doscmd(1), but I doubt that it will be able to run
WordPerfect.

I recommend Jud's suggestion, to look at the FreeBSD ports.

 They may be linking against a shared library that requires

  Anyone have a suggestion how I can get either of these ports to work

 At this point, you'll probably have to rebuild all the ports that
 depended on the old gettext.  The portupgrade tools minimize this risk
 by preserving old shlibs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, so you can
 upgrade dependant ports at your leisure.
 

 Before upgrading just about _everything_ (which you will do if you
upgrade dependencies in gettext) try upgrading your GNOME-ish ports, I
found these were the holdouts when doing as you originally did.

Fink is a better alternative, it's pretty much a port of the Debian

dumps all downloaded software in /sw, it doesn't break the base install. 
Very nifty. Works very well.

I used Fink for quite a while but it seemed to lose focus on reliability. I moved to 
darwinports (which offers source code ports and packages) and it seems to work just

 See FreeBSD  FAQ[1].  Also, in /etc/fstab  you may adjust the  mode,
 see below -m700 for msdos filesystem:
 
 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbkey msdos rw,-m700,noauto 0 0
 

usbd.conf:

devname umass0

attach /sbin/mount /flash_drive


fstab:
/dev/da0s1  /flash_drivemsdos   rw,-m775,noauto 0   0


mounted permisions:
d-1 root  wheel22016 Dec 31  1979 flash_drive


cd to /flash_drive as non-root user:
flash_drive: Permission denied.

FWIW:
vfs.usermount: 1

(Mounting is no problem, usbd does that for me. It's _how_ it's mounted
that is the problem)


 As a side note, the device has a little slider that is supposed to lock
the drive from being written to. Does FreeBSD honour this? Is this a 
software or hardware lock?
 I'm pretty sure in the above case it is in the unlock position.

 FWIW you could check if your  specific FreeBSD supports the -m switch

 Seems to, at least the man page says so.

  your hardware firewall, or your ISP.  What Brand

  Remeber that just opening port 8080 will not work,
  you have to go into the
  Port Forwarding section of your firewall and
  forward the 8080 port to
  your inside box
 
 While it's not called Port Forwarding on the router
 setup, I'm certain that is what I've set up. 
 
 Do you know what an ISP, earthlink, in this case,
 might do to keep you from serving pages? I'm using
 another port from 80, because I just get the ISP modem
 status page when using the dynamic IP with the normal
 80 port.
 
 I'm afraid I'm just frustratedly baffled.
 

 Are you sure Earthlink is not blocking all the obvious HTTP
server ports? Try using some arbitrary port 32000

   That depends on your shell. You're probably used to a

   completion. In csh, use the TAB key.
 
   And note this is not line completion but file name completion
 - it will fill in as much as uniquely possible of the path starting

Screen eating all CPU

[Johan Paul]

Hi all!

I was just wondering what could be wrong with my screen. Just like many
other I would like to have it for IRC over SSH.

I installed screen on my 4.8 normally using pkg_add -r screen. I update
the ports tree with cvsup on regular basis and the version that got
installed was screen-3.9.13.

As soon as I start screen for a normal user the load starts to rise.
Slowly, but it will reach 1.00. I have run screen under Linux for serveral
years without problems - what could have I missed?



Best regards,

Johan Paul

 I installed screen on my 4.8 normally using pkg_add -r screen. I update
 the ports tree with cvsup on regular basis and the version that got
 installed was screen-3.9.13.
 Its a known bug. Install screen from the compiled ports and it will all
 be fine

Great, thanks - it worked! Now it doesn't eat all my CPU which is nice.

But I have another problem related to screen. That is when I start screen
my terminal emulation gets messed up. For example if a hit backspace or
delete I get a ~ and the bell and my left- and right arrows doesn't work.
This hasn't either happend to me under Linux. What could cause this and
where can I controll the terminal emulation...? This happens to me with
both tcsh and bash - if it has anything to do with the problem...

Thanks again!

 Yes. BTW, just upgraded to 4.9-STABLE from 4.9-RC? and now that

Mozilla 1.5 errors [resolved?]

[paul beard]

I reported some problems with building Mozilla [1.5] from ports, 
specifically this one:

In file included from cppsetup.c:28:
def.h:29: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory
def.h:30: X11/Xfuncproto.h: No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [host_cppsetup.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory 
`/opt/ports/www/mozilla/work/mozilla/config/mkdepend'
gmake[1]: *** [export] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
`/opt/ports/www/mozilla/work/mozilla/config'
gmake: *** [default] Error 2
*** Error code 2

I ended up tracking down what port owned Xos.h 
[XFree86-4-libraries] and rebuilding/installing it. At that point, 
Mozilla would build and install just fine.

However, it wouldn't run: it need libintl.so.4 and I have 
libintl.so.5 installed. The simple workaround was to symlink the 
needed file from the one I had and that seems to be working. 
libintl.so.* is installed by gettext. I have no idea what the Real 
Solution for this is, but I leave these workaround steps in the 
archive in case anyone finds them useful .

As you've discovered, your installed packages are inconsistent.  At
some point you updated the gettext port without rebuilding everything
that depends on it, so packages that were linked against the old
library (libintl.so.4) can no longer function because you removed it.
The fix is to rebuild everything that depends on gettext by doing e.g.
portupgrade -r gettext.
Roger that. Thanks for the solution.

multimedia/avifile won't compile, stopping builds of x11/gnome2

[Paul Seniura]

I'm seeing the exact same compiler problem that bento has been showing
for multimedia/avifile.  This is bento's log for this app:
http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-5-latest/avifile-0.7.34.20030319,2.log
This is stopping portupgrade --new --recursive --upward-recursive x11/gnome2 from 
finishing.
I have been staying current via CTM due to firewall issues here
(political... don't ask ;) .
I've read thru the long discussion about breaking gnome2 up into
more managable separate collections of apps, but for now the gnome2
collection is the only thing portupgrade knows how to keep track of,
so it is broken as far as it is concerned.
Also, apparently no one else has seen this compile problem with avifile
as I've searched thru every mail-list here to no avail.
Please help me with this -- should I file a bug? or is there a workaround?
If I file a bug, I will recommend upgrading avifile to the latest version as shown on 
their project site at Sourceforge,
but gnome2 is broken until this is fixed.  Thank you very much.

CTM is down, I know, but are Mail Archives also down?

[Paul Seniura]

I was out-of-pocket yesterday, so I may have missed a lot.

Today I have been noticing no CTM deltas have arrived on the FTP sites
(including vmunix) since late Monday 26 Jan. 2004.
And then I tried to catch-up by browsing the Mail Archives today, to
find it hasn't been updated since then, too, except for some old
junky msgs.
The ctm-announce archive does show a msg about the CTM site being
down, before the archives themselves stopped updating.
My e-mail subscriptions are coming thru okay, tho, except for CTMs.

Did the sites get hit by the winter storm in NE US?

Is there an ETA as to when things will work again?

Could someone whip-up a webpage/link on the main site to post the
status if it'll be long, please?

Thank you, and sorry if this is the 10^Nth msg you received.
