Not really, but you might be able to use a memory disk (man md,
mdconfig) to limit the entire jail to a set size.
I haven't tried this myself, but I'm guessing something like this should
work.
#--- create jail script ---
#!/bin/sh
ID=${ARGV[1]}
DEST=/jails/jail.${ID}
IMAGE=/jails/images/jail.${ID}
# create a blank disk image of 512 Mb
dd if=/dev/zero of=${IMAGE} bs=1024k count=512
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ${IMAGE} -u ${ID}
bsdlabel -w md${ID} auto
newfs md${ID}c
mount /dev/md${ID}c ${DEST}
# create jail using created image
cd /usr/src
mkdir -p ${DEST}
make world DESTDIR=${DEST}
cd etc
make distribution DESTDIR=${DEST}
mount_devfs devfs ${DEST}/dev
cd ${DEST}
ln -sf dev/null kernel
# End script ---
Again, I haven't tested this, I've just copied pasted from the
various man pages into a semi-coherent script.

Remote hardware identification

Re: Which OS should we use?
In the immortal words of Paul Schmehl [EMAIL PROTECTED]... We're getting ready to create some new servers from scratch (format/install). We've been using 4.9 and 4.10 for a while now with no problems. We've got one 5.3 box setup for test purposes. On this list I have seen comments about instability issues in 5.3. These servers need to be stable. Should we install 4.10/11? Or move up to 5.3? Personally, I would consider moving to the 5.x branch as it has now been declared to be the Stable branch, and the 4.x versions won't be supported much longer. I've set up several servers using 5.3 and they seem reasonably stable. I'm now in the process of upgrading one of my older servers to 5.3 from 4.8. Of course, others may have different ideas, but in the end, if the test server you set up works like it should, what reason do you have for not using it?

Re: Why reccomend Bash shell?
In the immortal words of Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED]... In Greg Lehey's book The Complete FreeBSD he reccomends changing the default shell for users to bash shell. -p. 94 Because that is his shell of choice. I prefer to use TCSH for the same reason. What are the Pro's/Con's of using bash as opposed to the other shells? It depends entirely on what you are used to, both are good at what they do, both are easily scriptable, both are well documented, and both are widely used. The only drawback I have found with tcsh is the fact that if you install new software in your $PATH, then you need to type 'rehash' to let tcsh see it. However this being said, I should point out that tcsh is part of the base system on FreeBSD whereas bash is a port and must be installed separately. In short, play with both and make up your own mind.

Re: Image capture
In the immortal words of Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED]... I have an application that does image capture for video surveillance. It was designed on 4.x, nowdays running on 4.10 and using a video capture card with a Brooktree 484 chipset. The capture function is copied from the meteor example. Now I am requested to port that application to 25 new boxes. Ideally I'd love to locates hardware that work with the existing software but I will never be able to find bktr 484 card. And the solution must be cheap (so firewire may not be the solution). I cannot spend too much time testing so would prefer to stick to 4.10, and certainly cannot spend money on a solution that may not work. I am looking for any advice in the USB direction or traditionnal PCI video capture card. Actually, I hvan't heard of a brooktree 484 card, don't you mean 848? Seriously, if the card is using the supplied BT driver from FreeBSD, then you have the luxury of using any of the BT chipsets (878 is popular and readily available). Failing that, it really depends on how your application is accessing the capture device. If it is just copying data from the raw device, then you can use the Hauppauge PVR series cards which I absolutely love, having used them in a surveillance application myself recently. IF the card you are looking at really is the 848 chipset, then you should be able to use any of the brooktree cards without needing to change the driver at all. Snippet from the /usr/src/sys/dev/bktr/bktr_tuner.h file -- * This is part of the Driver for Video Capture Cards (Frame grabbers) * and TV Tuner cards using the Brooktree Bt848, Bt848A, Bt849A, Bt878, Bt879 * chipset. -- Cheers good luck Tim -- Tim Aslat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 0401088479 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Is my computer under spec?

Re: Is my computer under spec?
In the immortal words of Loren M. Lang [EMAIL PROTECTED]... I have been having performance problems with my computer for months, ever since I did a fresh install of freebsd 5.2.1. I thought the situation might change after debugging was turned off in RELENG_5 so I upgraded a couple weeks ago to 5.3-BETA7, but only saw slight improvements. I'm running Xorg, fvwm 2.4, several xterms, vncviewer, mozilla, xmms, and xine and my system was really running slow. At some point mozilla was killed because the system was out of swap space. I have a pentium celeron 3 600 MHz, with 128 megs of ram, 30 gig hd, 256 meg swap. Is my system just under spec for freebsd 5.x or is something else wrong? First thing to check is how much ram is being used by the system. the Top command is your best friend in this case, check to see what kind of memory usage each program has. It will also show how much CPU usage they are using. I didn't really think this should push a system like this that hard. I might try running linux on it in a similar configuration to compare and maybe think about some more ram if it also has problems. I would be suspecting RAM is your main bottleneck. Does your hard drive seem to be constantly working? I have 512Mb of ram installed and I'm still using some swap (33%) but I also have quite a number of programs running continuously (firefox, sylpheed-claws, several aterms, xmms,wmweather+, fluxbox-devel and a few other odda sods). I could probably optimise this, but the actual swap appears to be reasonably well managed and doesn't thrash my hard drives. I think you will find the machine is fine, for most things, just needs a little more RAM.

Re: IP address conflicts
of this network is standardised, some buildings switches are in a central location, others are in the building itself, some are even daisy chained through different buildings. It's a nightmare. When that is done at least you can contain it - if the kiddie is doing a MAC spoof then he's going to be isolated to the building that all the dumb hubs and switches are on that he is in and all the users in that building will be trashed - but at least the rest of the school won't be. This might be a good stopgap measure in this case, definitely better than setting up the arp tables manually. Right now you have it at the early stages. The people your battling are probably so stupid they are using Windows boxes and just changing the IP, and don't know the difference between a MAC spoof and a horse hoof. Thankfully, I think you are right. I just want to be a step or three ahead of these people. But once you realize this is a layer-2 battle, and start fighting them effectively on the MAC front, they are going to learn quick. Your a lot more vulnerable than you realize.

Re: Which Laser Printer for FreeBSD
In the immortal words of Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Go buy a HP Laserjet 4M+ that's used. For starters the things are indestructible you might have to do a feed roller replacement at 50,000 prints, but other than that you just keep putting toner and paper in it. They are dirt cheap used and the remanufactured toner cartridges for them are also dirt cheap. The PostScript is real PostScript. They take an internal print server card that is also dirt cheap on the used market. I agree. I have one of these given to me, and I have to admit, it's basically wonderful. Everything works with it, it spits out pages perfectly every time. It's a bit slow to warm up, but that's bearable considering all it's benefits. I'm up to around 4000 pages since I bought a toner for it, and I will probably just get a refill cartridge for less than AU$50. You can usually pick these units up at auction for around the $20 mark, or sometimes less. Mine came with a second paper tray and a jet-direct card, and I'm sure there are other nice extras that people are willing to include just to take it off their hands.

Re: Samsung Cordless Mouse
In the immortal words of Greg 'groggy' Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED]... More by accident than by design, I find myself the owner of a Samsung PS/2 Cordless Mouse. To make identification easier, it doesn't have a model number, so I assume it's the only one they made. I've come across one of these myself recently, interesting, but practically useless. This mouse has five buttons: the normal three on top, and one on each side. I can't find a way to get the side buttons to work, and looking on the web hasn't shown anything of interest. There are several models and manufacturers of this kind of rodent. You might want to experiment with it in X (man xev is a good place to start), but a simple solution is to see what it's detected as when the system boots up. I don't suppose anybody knows this mouse, though I'd be interested in hearing if somebody has. My real question is: how can I enable the side buttons? There's obviously some kind of initialization sequence that is performed by the Microsoft drivers included with the mouse, but how do I find out what they do? Is there some utility that runs under Microsoft and snoops what's going on on the PS/2 port? I know of something similar for USB, but so far I've drawn a blank for PS/2.

Re: Remote backup hosting setup?
In the immortal words of Eric Crist [EMAIL PROTECTED]... I was recently contacted by a lawfirm that needs a remote backup solution to help bring their insurance rates down. I've decided to go ahead and do this, as their needs are not that great. Sounds simple enough What I'm asking, is how best to setup this situation. I've never played with jails or anything, but I'm not sure if I really need to go that far. I'm considering building a server that has ssh and sftp access. The plan is to allow them to upload at their pace, and provide next-day DVD/CD copies of their entire directory structure. Try one of the multitude of rsync based scripts, you can even get some very good incremental backups happening, and burning DVDs/ dumping to tape/etc is simple enough top script as well. Rsync by default works over ssh so can be very secure. The had part would be, how do these people want to retrieve the data? If you are just handing them media once a day, then it's simple, but if they want to retrieve it remotely as well, then you could be in for some fun and games.

Re: c and freebsd
In the immortal words of [EMAIL PROTECTED] hello i'm learing c and hoping to make bsd a life long friend. i'm thinking about building a cluster in total of about 20-25+ clients. does freebsd support c, i expect it to, and does that come with graphic functions and name a list of prog. languages that freebsd supports, please. coming from microsoft (the bastard) . please explain it in dummy terms , i'm 16 by the way, thanx a whole lot! Welcome to the club. Of course FreeBSD supports C, that's he language it was written in. As for clustering, I believe that just about any unix variant is capable of it in some form or another. Graphics functions are available, but it depends on what type you are looking for. In this case, the ports collection is your friend. once you have FreeBSD installed, I recommend that you type man intro man ports man hier and also read the handbook less /usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt I suggest you spend some time reading the handbook before asking too many questions on the mailing lists, as you will find the majority of the answers in there.

Re: FreeBSD 5 rc.d scripts and /usr/local/etc/rc.d
In the immortal words of Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]... The best way to handle rc.local, however, is to separate it out into rc.d/ style scripts and place them under /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. That's right So I created an rc.d style script for my own service and stuck it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. It does not have a .sh on the end as it should run in a subshell as detailed in the rc man page.

Re: Setting Data on the Parallel Port
In the immortal words of Philippine FreeBSD Info [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Is there a simple way to set the D0 to D7 bits on the Parallel Port... Simplest option (I've been doing a bit of this myself lately) is to use the ppi interface. There is some example code (in C) to be found in /usr/share/examples/ppi/ppilcd.c Failing that, you could also try man ppi perhaps with a script I could make into a cron job. I just want to turn on and off some things through out the day. My buddy does this with his WhenDoze? machine and basic, and everyone knows FreeBSD does everything better!

Re: newsyslog and apache
In the immortal words of Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED]... this advice does not give me many warm fuzzies - the website appears to be down. any other util recommendations that rotate hundreds of apache logs files really well. newsyslog is not meeting our requirements at the moment. Have you tried using the internal rotation code in apache? this excerpt from man rotatelogs should provide more information rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like this: TransferLog | rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access_log 86400 This creates the files /path/to/logs/access_log. where is the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started. Logging is internal to apache, and doesn't require apache to be restarted.

Re: newsyslog and apache
In the immortal words of Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Okay this looks like a viable option. can rotatelogs also age out and delete log files that are older than 30 days? And does it compress the log files as well? No, but it isn't hard to come up with a script to proces the logs in any way you see fit. Regardless of what you choose to do to the logs, you don't have to restart apache, which I thought was the main object of your question. The main advantage to doing it this way is that the logs will be pretty much rotated simultaneously by apache, so a couple of minutes after it's scheduled, you can run a script to compress, analyse, delete or whatever the rotated logfile.

Starting X(albeit minimal) is not what I'm after, as it needs to appear as soon as the kernel is loaded - directly after the POST screen...

This might be a stupid suggestion, but wouldn't it be simpler just to hack the splash kernel module?

Re: smbus hardware monitoring problem
In the immortal words of Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Errr... happy-idiot-talk:...sys/i386/conf:% grep amdpm LINT # amdpm AMD 756 Power Management Unit device amdpm Looks like it is in LINT to me. Hmm... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/Attic/LINT?only_with_tag=RELENG_4 Seems like it was an oversight that has been corrected only in the last two or so weeks. Mine still shows nothing, but I haven't done a cvsup in about a week (automatic on Saturday mornings with /etc/weekly.local) - grep output - bofh.zaphod [8:46am] [/usr/src/sys/i386/conf] grep apm LINT # apm: Laptop Advanced Power Management (experimental) # The flags takes the following meaning for apm0: # If apm is omitted, some systems require sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1 device apm0 # apm under `Miscellaneous hardware' # viapm VIA VT82C586B,596,686A and VT8233 SMBus controllers device viapm bofh.zaphod [8:46am] [/usr/src/sys/i386/conf] - end grep output - either that or my LINT file isn't being updated by cvsup? Anyhow, thanks again for your help, it's saved the last of my hair follicles from being forcibly removed.

smbus hardware monitoring problem
Hi All, I'm having a spot of bother getting hardware monitoring working under FreeBSD (4.7-RELEASE-p3). I have a M7MKA mainboard (Biostar) slot A Athlon, with a AMD751/756 chipset. According to the documentation I've found it has a winbond W83782D hardware monitor which is supposed to be supported by healthd. My current attempt at kernel configuration has the following differences from GENERIC. additional entries to GENERIC # trying to get smbus working for hardware monitoring device smbus # Bus support, required for smb below. device intpm device alpm device ichsmb device viapm device smb device iicbus # Bus support, required for device iicbb device ic device iic device iicsmb # smb over i2c bridge device pcf0 end addition entries - dmesg doesn't come up with any indication that smbus or smb devices are found/configured and I'm beginning to tear my hair out. Obviously I'm doing something really stupid or it would be working and I'm at my wits end. Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction as I'm still fairly new to the ins and outs of the kernel configurations under FreeBSD.
