I actually got it done by using PuTTY to connect to my FreeBSD server, run
the scripts in Bash there, and copy the output to the clipboard.  13 lines
per script, vs. **HUNDREDS OF LINES** in vbs or vba!!  :-))

I guess I will abandon this and try to do it in Windows.
It's just that scripting in Unix is **SO** much easier than vbs in Windows!

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply.
This is kinda gnarly.  I'm using VMware Player on Windows 7, FreeBSD is the
guest OS.
I have a script that outputs some text that I would like in the clipboard
that I can paste into an email in Windows Outlook.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I remembered to look in
ports/X11/xclip/pkg-descr and found that xclip and possible xclipboard
require X11.  
Sorry for not doing that before I posted.
So, is there a non-X11 port that will let me do what I need to do?  Does
Midnight Commander have a clipboard?

xclip

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have need for a command-line tool to copy to the clipboard in FreeBSD 6.4.
As in: command | xclip
Looked at xclip and xclipboard - 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=xclip&stype=all

I can't tell by the dependencies if this requires the X gui.  I'm running
command-line-only and DON'T want to install X.
Can anyone help?  Thanks!

I have an older Power Mac that I've decided to use instead.  It's all
configured and running well, and I don't use it much anymore since I have
Windows 7 Ultimate now on the PC.
It's already set up with Parental Controls for the grandson, and has
everything the daughter will need as well.

Hi ocean, thanks for the reply.
Is there a browser that will work out of the box with flash?  Most of the
games the 5 y/o uses are flash-based.

Gnome desktop for 5 y/o

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have a 6.4-STABLE machine running in command line only for my Apache
webserver.
I'm thinking of installing a Gnome desktop on it for my 5 y/o grandson and
grown daughter to use so they won't be pestering me to use my pc.

The 5 y/o won't need anything except Firefox, some disk-based games and
Parental Controls.
For the Parental Controls, I need to limit the websites he can visit, and
the time of day he can use the computer.

The daughter will only need Firefox and a decent word processor.

The computer is a P3 600, 256mb ram, ATI 3D Rage IIc video, plenty of disk
space.

Will Gnome2 or gnome-lite be faster?

What is available for Parental Controls?

Should I forget it because it will be too slow based on the machine's
hardware?

Charles

These are related to a (harmless) twitch in a recent version of
ruby.  Updating to the latest version fixed it for me.


Thanks Robert and Polytropon,
Running 'portversion -c' after 'portupgrade -a' no longer shows any  
stale lock files.

Just wondering...is there any utility to find and remove these things?
Maybe a reboot?

You should probably use pmap for a more accurate comparison.  you may
also want to set CFLAGS= -Os for size considerations(CPUTYPE as  
well),
and remove unnecessary modules from kernel if you haven't done so  
already.


agreed. top lines of top  are too imprecise to really tell. but so  
far as
the data goes, this is consistent with my findings, i.e. disabling  
mods in
the apache runtime config file doesn't save enough to justify the  
effort.


I recall Bill Gates saying, "640k is enough for anybody."  I agree,  
it's not much of a savings, and there's always the possibility that  
the webmaster may add something later that needs a module that's

Running Apache with as few modules as possible

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I ran across this web page the other day, and it seems like a  
reasonable choice for me (running on kinda low-end hardware).




I have these modules in my config for my "development server", and I  
use the term loosely, it's really my "make your mistakes here, instead  
of on the REAL web server" machine.
I researched each module on the Apache site, and to the extent that I  
understood, chose whether to comment them or not.
It loads without any syntax errors, and I have tested the things that  
I can think of that might require a module.
I'm not doing any user authentication, no dynamic pages, no forms,  
some cgi scripts, all but 2 in SSI, the other 2 in Perl.

Can anyone see anything that I've commented that I'll be sorry for?
Can anyone suggest any more testing I should do?

Hi Steve,
FreeBSD's install can be scripted...
Quoted from "BSD Hacks" by Dru Lavigne
"FreeBSD's install mechanism lives in /stand/sysinstall. Not  
surprisingly, man sysinstall
describes all of the scriptable bits of this program. I'll go over  
some useful parameters, but
you'll definitely want to skim through the manpage to see if there are  
additional parameters

suited to your particular environment.
FreeBSD also comes with a commented, ready-to-customize install  
script, located in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.cfg. Copy this file, then edit  
the copy in your favorite

editor."

OTOH, a bootable dvd with a cloned image on it would be a much simpler  
solution, IMHO.

You are correct. As long as the content of the file is right for the
purpose, the line added by CVS is simply ignored by anything and
everything - except mergemaster and friends when upgrading.


As I suspected.  Thanks for the confirmation.

I have completed my upgrade to 6.4-STABLE with the following hiccups:
mergemaster -iU couldn't find a btree database, so it skipped the auto  
update.  It did save a database at the end, so I assume I can use that  
next time.
I never thought to check for which side of the screen the old file was  
on after I chose "m" to merge.
Finally figured out that the old file is on the left, and the temp on  
the right.


Once finished completely, there were no problems I couldn't recover  
from.  Good thing this is a brand new installation, with only 2  
accounts!  :-)


Thanks for all the help!

The lines you see starting with $FreeBSD are used by the Version  
Control

System (CVS or SVN).
You have to judge by the content of the older file (not by the tag)
whether to keep or upgrade the file. Usually, you will let it upgrade
all files which you have not modified yourself. In some of these the
only thing that changes is the tag.
Before doing the mergemaster step, I suggest you keep a complete  
backup
copy of your /etc directory.  It may happen that you replace a file  
you

actually need. And it is a real problem if you overwrite, say,
master.passwd :)

Nothing beats tail -f for debugging.

404's can be gathered from access log, by webalizer (or awstats

are summarized when enabled. If I remember correctly, there's also a  
referer
top list, that specifies which pages link to invalid pages, but it  
may have

been awstats that does this.

Can't think of anything specific for apache error log, I roll my own  
grok
rules if I'm really interested in a specific vulnerability. See  
sysutils/grok.


Yes, awstats does a fair job of summarizing 404's.
I have a hardware router, not extremely interested in a packet filter  
for my webserver.

I guess I could do some deny from rules in apache.conf if necessary...?

I run this from cron @ 11:59 PM every night, and that gives me the  
error log for that day.

Maybe I won't miss anything serious between 11:59 and midnight.

Can anyone help with a grep command that will filter out all addresses  
beginning with 192.168.254?

Something to replace the 2 piped commands with only 1.
I tried: grep -v -regexp[^192\.168\.254\.] but that didn't match any  
records...?

The format of error log is pretty much different from the format of
transfer log. No wonder webalizer is not liking it. You may have to
write your own format for th error log.


Well, can anyone suggest a port that will parse the error.log and  
output it

to a web page that's easy to read?



Webalizer is probably your best bet.

Also, in httpd.conf what level of detail should I set in the  
error.log to
get the most information.  It's currently set to 'warn', which I  
understand
to be 'warn' and everything more critical than that.  I don't care  
about the

size of the log, or the amount of garbage per line.


The 'debug' log level will provide the most verbosity.


Thanks, Glen.

analyzing httpd-error.log

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I'm running 6.4-STABLE, Apache22, logwatch and Webalizer.

Webalizer is doing what it's supposed to with httpd-access.log, but  
when I give it the error log to process is coughs, spits and spills  
out errors with no data processed.  My research hasn't turned up a  
good solution for webalizer and -error.log.


In httpd.conf, I'm using both common and combined log formats.   
Webalizer will read them both.


With logwatch, and even with the log detail turned up to 7, I'm not  
getting the detail I want from the error.log.  I want to see  
*everything* in that log.


Anybody got a solution?

For some reason, traceroute has never worked on any of my *nix boxes.
There are s many reasons that might cause that.  Too many to go  
into, but mostly the way I set up my lan, the router settings and  
options, etc.


I have 2 FreeBSD, a Mac, and an XP machine.
On the XP machine, tracert times out after 12 hops, however the ip did  
resolve to.

"THE WEATHER CHANNEL" - ncvsup.twc.waether.com
That in itself may be reason enough for the timeouts...?




Perhaps you have a faulty asymmetric path to 17...

It is important to know that just because a server may be literally
located at the building across the street, it doesn't mean that you  
are

guaranteed a path that may not cross the country (and in some
situations, across an ocean) and back.

I don't know where you are located, but generally, I've found cvsup8  
to
be extremely quick (in terms of latency) and very reliable for a  
number

of years.


I'm in Central West Tennessee.

Are these directories actually populated with ports?

If not, my guess is that it's simply ignoring ports that match the
category, rather than removing the category entirely.


I checked the chinese, and yes, there are ports as well as the  
makefile etc. under the port.

Looks completely normal as if I wasn't using REFUSE.

If you look at the /etc/portsnap.conf file, the lines look like this:
#
#
# REFUSE this that t'other
# REFUSE some more stuff

I just deleted the '#' and left the space at the beginning of the  
line.

Surely that wouldn't fubar it, would it?
I'll try again and remove the leading space, but I'n not optimistic.

Is the portsnap author a member of this list?


I fired off a quick email to the portsnap author, and here is his reply:


Hello,
I was just wondering if you were answering questions about portsnap?
You might want to look at the thread on freebsd-questions titled  
'portsnap ignores REFUSE directives'


REFUSE directives must start a line in portsnap.conf -- your leading
whitespace is making portsnap not recognize the option.


I guess that settles that.  :-)  Nice to know that folks higher in the

Are these directories actually populated with ports?

If not, my guess is that it's simply ignoring ports that match the
category, rather than removing the category entirely.


I checked the chinese, and yes, there are ports as well as the  
makefile etc. under the port.

Looks completely normal as if I wasn't using REFUSE.

If you look at the /etc/portsnap.conf file, the lines look like this:
#
#
# REFUSE this that t'other
# REFUSE some more stuff

I just deleted the '#' and left the space at the beginning of the line.
Surely that wouldn't fubar it, would it?
I'll try again and remove the leading space, but I'n not optimistic.

Is the portsnap author a member of this list?

portsnap ignores REFUSE directives

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I just installed 6.4-RELEASE on the way to -STABLE.
I chose NOT to install the ports during installation.
I configured /etc/portsnap.conf, uncommenting the REFUSE directives,  
because I only speak English.


I created the proper directories, including /usr/ports.
I ran 'portsnap fetch extract', and now I find arabic, chinese,  
french, german, hebrew, hungarian, etc. in my ports tree.


What might be the problem here?

I'm not sure I'm understanding your situation properly, but packages
really work best if you are willing to live with whatever the default
options are.  If you want to tune the installation for your  
environment,

the ports system will do so a lot easier than autofetched packages.


The situation is under control now.  What I was trying to do was get  
cups-1.1.23 as a package, since it is not available in the ports  
system.  Ports has 1.2.0.

I will live with xorg-libraries.  :)

Can't print to CUPS from Macintosh

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I need some help getting a FreeBSD print server to print jobs from my  
Mac.
Previous versions of CUPS worked perfect on the same computer(s),  
same version of FreeBSD.


FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2, cups-1.2.0, Mac OS X 10.4.7

Printing a test page from the web interface works fine, and the  
printer is on my browse list on the Mac, but printing from the Mac  
doesn't work.


I've tried printing plain text, pdf, and MS Word for Mac files.
All fail with "/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"  
displayed on the printer page of the web interface,


A single sheet of paper is ejected from the printer, with this:

The web interface does not auto-detect my printer, nor can I add it

Ok, so I obtained the latest release of the kernel source, and I

Because this is my first time trying to install the kernel, I'm  
just using

the GENERIC configuration (will fix it once I figure out the correct
process).  Here's the errors I get when doing installkernel:

make installkernel
ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.


The big problem is that nothing in /usr/src/UPDATING really  
explains why it

is doing this or what I need to change.  Here's what it says:

20060204:
   The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing
functionality
   in the base system.  Be sure to follow the directions for  
updating,

   including the requirement to run mergemaster -p.

As far as the Makefile goes, I am building and installing the makefile
correctly.  Is there anything else I need to add?


You need to merge your /etc/groups and the new /etc/groups that  
contains the audit group.

# mergemaster -p
then start over.

BTW, /usr/src/UPDATING is the definitive source for how to update  
your system/kernel.

Re: Best Practices - interrupt storm

[Charles Howse]

Thanks very much, I'll also make a note to check the FAQ before posting.

On May 23, 2006, at 10:45 AM, fbsd wrote:


Stray irq 7 messages
The FBSD FAQ entry says

5.24. What does ``stray IRQ'' mean?

Stray IRQs are indications of hardware IRQ glitches, mostly from
hardware that removes its interrupt request in the middle of the
interrupt request acknowledge cycle.

One has three options for dealing with this:

1. Live with the warnings. All except the first 5 per IRQ are
suppressed anyway.

2. Break the warnings by changing 5 to 0 in isa_strayintr() so that
all the warnings are suppressed.

3. Break the warnings by installing parallel port hardware that uses
IRQ 7 and the PPP driver for it (this happens on most systems), and
install an IDE drive or other hardware that uses IRQ 15 and a
suitable driver for it.

** End of FAQ # 5.24 *

The number 3 item above is false, the ATA IDE standard is the
primary IDE channel master and slave devices use IRQ 14 and the
secondary IDE channel master and slave devices use IRQ 15. IRQ 15 is
also used by many NIC cards. A printer attached to the parallel port
uses IRQ 7, and the annoying bogus stray IRQ 7 messages still gets
issued. So you are left with two options, learn to deal with it, or
hack the code to make it go away.

To stop the annoying bogus stray IRQ 7 messages you can hack the
source where these messages originate from and change the counter
value 5 to 0 so the messages will no longer be issued.

isa_strayintr lives in   /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/intr_machdep.c

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/

cp intr_machdep.c intr_machdep.c.org  # make backup of original

ee intr_machdep.c



Find isa_strayintr to locate the start of the stray IRQ 7 logic

change this

if (intrcnt[1 + intr] <= 5)

To this

if (intrcnt[1 + intr] <= 0)

Recompile your kernel source and those stray IRQ 7 messages are
gone. Document this some place for yourself just in case you
reinstall from CDROM. Remember that if you cvsup update your source
to upgrade to next stable release, your 'stray IRQ 7 hack' will be
stepped on and return back to the official FBSD version. You will
have to reapply this hack.

Hi,
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, cups-1.1.23.0_1, HP 1100 LaserJet

I've found quite a bit of information about how to deal with:
"Interrupt storm detected in "irq7:"; throttling interrupt source"

Problem is, it's a little confusing.
 From what I've gathered, the options are:
Use the BIOS to set the printer port to ECP,
Use lptcontrol to set the port to polled mode,
Use device.hints to do both

IIRC, in the past, I have used lptcontrol to set polled mode, but
that resulted in:
"too many stray irq7's, not logging any more"

Can anyone suggest a method to make both "interrupt storm" and "too
many stray irq7's" go away?

cgi email using /usr/bin/mail

[Charles Howse]

Hello,
I have a 6.1-PRERELEASE box which is running Apache 2.2 on my home lan.
The machine's name is 'moe.local'.
I have a DynDNS.com account, with the domain name  
'bubbabbq.homeunix.net'.


I want to add a form to the website where users can send me an email.
I've looked at FormMail.pl and cgiemail (from MIT).
It seems that FormMail has too many security holes, and cgiemail  
won't work because sendmail  is only configured to deliver mail to  
local accounts.


I would prefer to write a cgi script using /usr/bin/mail, and I was  
wondering if anyone had any experience doing this, or could tell me  
about any security risks.

My research didn't turn up much at all.

Thanks!

It's working without a local-host-names file, so if it gets squirrelly, I'll
add it back.
Thanks for the help.  :-)

Not quite sure I understand.
Here is /etc/hosts from FreeBSD:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ cat /etc/hosts
::1 localhost.local localhost
127.0.0.1   localhost.local localhost
192.168.254.4   moe.local moe
192.168.254.4   moe.local.
192.168.254.3   larry
192.168.254.3   larry.local

Are you saying that since I have larry.local in /etc/hosts, then I don't
need anything at all in local-host-names?
For clarity, I'm doing local mail only, no Internet mail.

sendmail local-host-names

[Charles Howse]

Hi,

I want to collect mail for FreeBSD user charles on my Mac.

The hostname of my FreeBSD box is:
moe.local

User charles has an account, has been added to the qpopper authentication
database, and sendmail_enable="NO" is in /etc/rc.conf.

In /etc/mail/local-host-names, I have:
moe.local
larry.local
local

It's working, but I think I have too many entries in local-host-names.
What entries are necessary?

Thanks,
Charles

Thanks, I will.  Haven't tried printing from Windows yet.

I have just now verified that I've got the dad-gum thing working!
Had to install CUPS (Not that difficult).
I can print from my Mac to the HP1100 on the FreeBSD box!!
TextEdit, Word, Safari, all print properly!!!
The Epson is currently out of ink (blush), but it blinks and whirrs when I
send a test page to it.  :-)

I followd the howto that is the first msg in this forum:
http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15325&highlight=Printin
g

When I finished, I went to the Printer Setup Utility on the Mac, and looked
in the browse list, and HOLY-S**T, there they were, my HP1100 and Epson
C86!!!

OH, YEAH!!!

Re: Setting up a print-server

[Charles Howse]

Look at this (moe is the print-server, listening on port 515):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515
Trying 192.168.254.4...
Connected to moe.
Escape character is '^]'.
lpd [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Print-services are not available to your host (larry).
Connection closed by foreign host.

So what's my exact hostname?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ hostname
larry.local

Then I ssh to moe, then I add:
larry
larry.local

to /etc/hosts.lpd and to /etc/hosts.equiv

Now...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515
Trying 192.168.254.4...
Connected to moe.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

Looks like print services are available now, but...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ lpc status all
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ 

And printing from the Mac still gets a 'busy signal'.
Can I issue a command to print something from a telnet session?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515
Trying 192.168.254.4...
Connected to moe.
Escape character is '^]'.
lpr /etc/printcap
moe.local: lpd: Illegal service request
Connection closed by foreign host.

The printer(s) are listening on port 515:

Warren,

Kent,
The Mac is using CUPS to print.

Don't get too excited, though.  I still don't know what to tell the printer
setup utility in OS X.  I've tried IP Printing, and LPD printing, with no
joy.

I've told lpd on the FreeBSD box to use "-W" (accept connections on any
port), cause the Mac is trying to connect on port 631.

I'M SO CONFUSED!!

I now have the both printers set up and can print to them from FreeBSD.
Problem is, I can't print to them from the Mac.

The error is always, "Printer HP1100 is busy, trying again in 30 seconds."
I take that to mean the server isn't responding.

Is there a command I can run from the Mac that will tell me if the FreeBSD
box is accepting connections to the printers?

Might there be something I haven't enabled on FreeBSD to allow me to print
across the network?

Setting up a print-server

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have the task of setting up a FreeBSD box as a print-server for the lan
here at home.
I've used FreeBSD for quite a while, but am currently just a little rusty.
I was hoping the list members could help me with planning a strategy, and
possibly point me to some resources for help.  I have my copies of The
Handbook and FreeBSD Unleashed at my side.  :-)

The printers are:
HP1100 LaserJet (non-postscript, parallel only)
Epson Stylus C86 (postscript, USB only)

Here is my current list of requirements:
My daughter's WinXP Pro SP2 box must be able to print to either printer.

My Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3 box must be able to print to either printer.

(I may not know what I'm talking about here, but) I would prefer IP printing
as the only means of serving the printers, rather than Samba for serving to
Windows, AND CUPS or something else for serving to OS X.

The FreeBSD machine is quite capable hardware-wise of doing all this.
I have a copy of 4.11-RELEASE, but will be glad to install whatever version
makes it easiest to do what I need.

Any help = appreciation!

Charles

OK, I'm going to try one more time, and then leave it to the pro's.  :-)
You will need Disc 2 of your install CD's, that contains the live file
system.
Boot with the install cd (1), choose 'Fixit' from the install menu, insert
disc 2 when prompted for the fixit disc, then...
I found this link explaining the process:
http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com/technotes/fixit.html

Apologies for replying to my own msg, but I just 'had' to try what I told
you, and there are no tools such as 'mount', or 'rm' available when booting
to a command prompt as I said.
I tried the Emergency Shell from the CD, same thing.
Sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase, but I'm sure you'll get the correct
answer soon.

I've never done this...but...
Reboot the computer from the CD,
Look for the message:

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds...

At that point press "any other key".
You should then be able to mount your /boot partition and delete the file,
however, you may have to look around on the CD for the appropriate commands.

Also customized this rc script to start publishing on boot.

Remember, I *can* mount the share in the gui, I don't use the console to
mount the share.  
With Finder as the active application, I choose Go/Connect to Server, and
select - nfs://moe/backup.
Works like a charm.  I can read, write, navigate up or down.
It's just that 'moe' isn't visible in the Network pane of Finder.

Can't see FreeBSD machine in Mac's Finder

[Charles Howse]

Hello List,

I have a PowerMac G5, named "larry", which the 'Sharing' tab in System
Preferences tells me that other machines on the network can access as
'larry.local'.

I have a FreeBSD 4.11 machine on the same subnet, named "moe" (no domain
name), with NFS enabled.

I can connect to the FreeBSD machine's share by using "Connect to Server" in
OS X, but the machine doesn't show up in the Network pane of Finder.

Can anyone point me to some resources where I can find a resolution to this?

I could be mistaken, but it looks like maybe it's looking for a  
separate POP user authentication database separate from /etc/ 
passwd. I know that we do this to support APOP logins.


Do you have /usr/local/etc/qpopper/pop.auth.db ?

You may need to initialize it and then add your username to it.

man qpopauth


That took care of it!  Thanks, Glenn!

Re: qpopper error

[Charles Howse]

I plan to use qpopper to retrieve root's mail (which I have aliased  
to 'charles').
I will use my home lan to connect to the FBSD box from my Mac, and  
read the mail.
"Charles" is indeed a valid user on the FBSD box.  I ssh to that box  
as charles, and am logged in as charles right now.

Did you build qpopper from ports? or ?
What options did you enable or disable/ (assuming you built from  
ports)



Glenn,
Thank for the reply.  I installed qpopper from /stand/sysinstall/ 
Configure/Packages.
It didn't prompt me for any decisions, so I suppose you could say  
it's installed with the defaults.

Hello, I'm new to the list.
I've had a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13 server running for a long time,  
but now I've decided to install 4.11 on a new machine.


The problem I'm having is that I have nfs shares configured,  
showmount -e shows me the correct information, all the nfs services  
are running, and I have network connectivity between my PowerMac and  
the new FreeBSD machine, but I can't mount or connect to the shares.


When I open a root terminal on my Mac and issue "mount_nfs moe:/usr/ 
local/www /Volumes/Storage/TMP", I get "Permission Denied".
On the FreeBSD machine, I see "NFS request from unprivileged port

Anyone have Limewire working on 4.8?

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I've installed /usr/ports/net/limewire v.3.6.15 without error.
It didn't prompt me to do anything, nor present me with any dialogs when 
installing.

When I type 'limewire' from a user shell, it loads the splash screen, which 
says "Loading shared files...", and a tiny window which says, "Welcome t", 
and just sits there.

I've searched, and I can't find any .conf files, nor any documentation on my 
HDD for Limewire.  I've read the manual and FAQ on the limewire.org site, no 
help.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm getting in late on this, but I have a wheel mouse, and a KVM.
I've installed the imwheel port.

I have this in XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "Protocol" "SysMouse"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"
Option  "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

and this in /etc/rc.conf:

moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-z 4"

and this in ~/.xinitrc:
/usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel

See the FAQ:

mkisofs options question

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have some directories that I need to include in a .iso file.
I've followed the online Handbook section 12.5.2, and read man mkisofs.

The directories each have the file CUSTOM in them.
That causes mkisofs to error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mkisofs -U -R -o /tmp/cdimg.iso /disk2/curly /disk2/larry
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
Using CUSTOM000 for  /CUSTOM (CUSTOM)
mkisofs: Error: '/disk2/larry/CUSTOM' and '/disk2/curly/CUSTOM' have the same 
Rock Ridge name 'CUSTOM'.
mkisofs: Error: '/disk2/larry/CUSTOM' and '/disk2/curly/CUSTOM' have the same 
Rock Ridge name 'CUSTOM'.
mkisofs: Unable to sort directory

What are the proper options for mkisofs so that I can have identical filenames 
in different directories?

REPOST: null device in linux jail root

[Charles Howse]

Surely, *someone* who reads this list has upgraded the linux_base port, and 
figured out the proper way to respond to this prompt.

___

Hi,

I installed Linux compatibility when I installed FBSD 4.8, but I've never 
really done anything with it.

While portupgrading , I was presented with a prompt that I don't know how to 
respond to:

You need to create the null device in your jail root environment.
Run the following commands outside the jail root environment,
and then press enter:
mkdir -m 0755 -p /dev
rm -f //compat/linux/dev/null
mknod //compat/linux/dev/null c 2 2
chmod 666 //compat/linux/dev/null

I found that this prompt comes from the makefile in the linux-base port, which 
I don't have access to at the moment, so I can't quote it exactly.

Clueless, I just pressed enter at the prompt, thinking I could always go back 
and do it later, or deinstall the port and reinstall it when I learn what to 
do.  

I know what a jail is, but how do I know what my  is?
Also, why the double slashes in the last 3 lines?  What do they mean?

What is the proper way to deal with this prompt?

I'll try that right away.
You don't by any chance have OpenOffice-1.1 working do you?

No problem.  The bad thing is that there is a HP1100 DeskJet AND a HP1100 
LaserJet.  People seem to get the drivers confused.

Uli,
With all due respect, do you know for a fact that your suggestion works?
I have a HP1100, configured with apsfilter, and I have tried that very same 
thing, and it only prints at 600 dpi.

Does anyone know the correct driver for the HP1100 LaserJet?
I've been using ljet4.

5.1 and ACPI

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have just loaded 5.1 on an old Celeron 300, and need to learn something 
about ACPI.

I Googled, and found a considerable amount of info concerning this issue, but 
the only thing I understood, was how to force the default boot choice to not 
load the acpi module.

I went to:
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/freenix/full_papers/watanabe/
watanabe_html/index.html
and read what little I could understand. (not much)

When I boot the computer, right after the bios loads the table that shows the 
hardware, PCI devices, memory locations, etc., I see:

PS/2 Mouse Present
ACPI Function Enabled
Searching for boot record on CD
etc.
So, I am assuming that this machine *is* capable of ACPI.

When I choose the default boot option from the menu, I get a TON of messages 
concerning ACPI.  
Assuming these msgs are errors, I have added hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /
boot/device.hints, and now I can boot the default choice without these msgs.

I do understand that 5.1 is a development release, but have I mis-interpreted 
somethingdoes this machine do ACPI, but FBSD doesn't like the way it does 
it, or what?

This will detail the process for you.
As to which is best, that's only valid if you are running Gnome AND KDE.
I'm not familiar with gdm, but kdm is bundled w/ KDE, and xdm is bundled w/ 
XFree86.

rmsg problem

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I've installed /usr/ports/net/rmsg and started the rmsgd on two of my 
computers.
I've also set mesg y for each one.

When I do:
echo "here is a message" | rmsg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it goes through fine

when I go the other way:
echo "right back at ya" | rmsg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I get:
rmsg: charles refusing messages

Anyone got any ideas about what's wrong here?
I've verified the daemon is running on moe, and that mesg is set to y.
Both root and charles are logged on at their respective computers.
root is running cli only, while charles is using KDE.
