Change to different SCSI interface causes boot failure
Hi all, I'm trying to replace the motherboard in my FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE server for a different one. The old board has on-board Adaptec AIC-7896N SCSI, the new one has on-board Symbios Ultra3 SCSI, on bootup I get the following error - Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s0a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Rootmount failed:6 Is there any way I can boot the drive on this new interface? I've searched the archives found a similar problem in which the solution was to use dump to create a backup do a fresh install of FreeBSD on the new system before restoring the backup. If I have to take this route I might as well upgrade to 5.3, but I understand this uses a different filesystem to 4.11, so would this give problems with a restore from a 4.11 dump?

Re: HELP! Sendmail 8.12.9 problems up the wazzoo on FreeBSD4.3....

Any and all help is welcomed. I will be working on this problem all day. Please feel free to contact me directly at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' if you'd like to help me figure this puzzle out. Did you create the smmsp user / group as part of the upgrade? Required from 8.12.0 - 8.12.0/8.12.0 2001/09/08 *NOTICE*: The default installation of sendmail does not use set-user-ID root anymore. You need to create a new user and a new group before installing sendmail (both called smmsp by default). The installation process tries to install /etc/mail/submit.cf and creates /var/spool/clientmqueue by default.

Starting DHCPD
Hi all, I'm making changes to my network which will require using my own DHCP server. It's all set up ready to go, but I can't find any way of getting it to start on boot up. There's nothing that I can find in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf, no startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d I've used this DHCP server before (have recently been using a different one on the network) so I know it can work, but just can't find any way of starting it automatically.

Re: (OT) non-keyboard ascii characters
I find holding down 'Alt' typing in the number of the character works for me (though I don't use Pine or Mutt). Didn't wok for me in pine or nedit, although this may be charset dependent. Which apps does this work for you in? xterm? I don't use any Unix / Linux MUA's, it works for me in Squirrelmail (webmail app) Outlook Express. Just tried it in the Joe text editor it works fine on standard ASCII characters, but produces unpredictable results trying to use extended ones.

RE: Squirrel Mail on freebsd
hello, Anyone know of any bugs when running (or trying to run) squirrelmail off a freebsd box? Coz I have been trying to do this for a while now with appaling results timeouts, php related errors like maximum execution time exceeded, very slow response, and it seems that it cannot handle loads like lots of mail in the mailbox etc. If someone has used squirrelmail successfully on freebsd, I'd please like to know what configuration you are using, eg what imap server, what mail formats etc, Thanx in advance. I've been using Squirrelmail 1.2.9 on my system for about a week now. It was built from ports apart from a few teething troubles, parltly caused by my lack of knowledge I'm having a great time with it. My system comprises - Sendmail 8.12.6 (built from source) IMAP-UW 2002a (built from source) Apache13-modssl 1.3.27 (built from ports) PHP 4.2.3 (built from ports) Don't know too much about mail formats, I just created a 'mail' dir in my home directory altered IMAP-UW to use that before compiling (instructions on IMAP-UW site I think). For the slow response with many mails, you might try - cd /usr/local/squirrelmail ./configure Select option 4 'General Options' Set options 11 12 to 'true' Hope this helps a bit To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Keeping PHP4 in sync
Hi all, Yesterday I upgraded mod_php4 to mod_php4-4.2.2, but pkg_info shows the package php4-4.0.6_1 as being installed. Looking at the makefile it seems to rely on everything from mod_php4, so - Should I upgrade it? Do I need it (php4-4.0.6_1)? Am I safe?
