upgrade by hand
In all the searches I've done about upgrade from a Rel4.x to Rel6. all the info seems to center on using cvsup and port upgrade, and using Rel5 is an intermediate step to get to Rel6. Maybe I just like pain, but are there any instructions for 'manually' upgrading from 'most any prior freebsd' to latest production release? In other words, what files MUST be backed up and restored (master.password, etc) and what CANNOT be reused (changes to current password/group files or other files are too much to allow an upgrade of this type) I'm just concerned about Freebsd base -- I only use 3 items from the ports collection and I don't mind rebuilding these. (perhaps I'm stuck on the word 'upgrade' when there is a better word for a format and reload but preserve user/group/file system mode bits etc) -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bad tape hanging machine
I have a freebsd 4.x machine running simple file and print services. It has a scsi tape drive installed -- externally. It is attached to an adaptec 2940uw. The internal 3 hard drives are attached to an adaptec 29160. Last friday, the whole system locked up with an ugly error message about scb's and scsi buffers .. lots of garbage. I was afraid I had lost a hard drive. So I started removing the drives and testing each one individually. They all were perfect. So I removed the tape from the tape drive, and booted the system. Boot normally.. all is well. I put a new tape in the drive, run a tar job to it okay. Run a dump of all file systems, ok. Now I wondering, could a bad tape cause the whole system to lock up? That seems really BAD to have a single cassette tape bring a whole system down. Anyone else seen this? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
best practices for administration
Since the BSD community seems to be more security conscious than other (read windows system administrators) groups, I wanted to see if anyone here would have any pointers to best practices documents when administering ANY operating system, not just FreeBSD. I am assuming that many of you must manage other operating systems as well. The nexus of my query lies in my attempt to have our central IT folks issue additional identities for users to have when administering the systems versus doing productivity work on them. I'd like to understand what is done generally when granting users permissions to do things on the operating system that imply 'administration', ie installing software, adding printers, modifying system scripts, etc. There are some here who think that putting standard user ID's into administrative 'groups' is sufficient for granting such priveledges. hopefully, I'm not being too obscure. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
portupgrade overview
I've used portupgrade for a while without really knowing much about it. I suppose thats a benefit. However, when it comes to really controlling the portupgrade processes, I find the man page of minimal use. Thats becuase the man pages seem to be written for someone who already knows everything that portupgrade is doing, ie there seems to be a lot of a priori knowledge expected of the reader. I am hoping there is better documentation of portupgrade. Something that specifies the reasons behind what it does -- why some of the switches are necessary, how to hold back upgrade of certain ports, how to only allow security updates to happen, etc. Does any such document exist? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
awk print
I'm using awk to parse a directory listing. I was hoping there is a
way to tell awk to print from $2 - to the end of the columns
available.
find ./ -name '*stuff' | awk '{FS=/ print $3---'}
the $3-- I want to mean -- print from col 3 to the end.
Any awk pros?

Is this what you mean?:
find ./ -name '*stuff'|sed 's|\.[^/]*/[^/]*/||g'
thanks for the advice. No, this doesn't do what I want.
If I have a directory path /stuff/stuff/more/stuff/more/and/more
that is n-levels deep, I want to be able to cut off the first two
levels and print the from 2 to the Nth level.

moving files from bad sectors
I have a hard disk that looks like its going out. So far, there are 6 reported crc errors. However, I have a file that I would like to read as much as possible of using tar, but the whole job stops like this: # tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 /home /root/tarhome.cat tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /home/smbshare1/BUDGETS/RXS0008 fy04 kellogg report and summary.xls: Read error at byte 14848, reading 10240 bytes: Input/output error tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors When attempting to cp that same file I get another error and the cp stops. Are there any tools that will permit me to cp as much of this file as possible, ie all sectors up to, and then past, the bad spot? as another possibility, are there any tools that I can use with fsck that would mark the sector as bad so its not reused?

securing postgresql on fbsd
This is not strictly a freebsd question, but this group is the smartest around... so I've installed postgresql on freebsd 4.10-rel. I want to secure ALL connections to postgres through ssh.

dump/restore issue
My tape unit has been giving me problems on one server. So I did a dump over ssh to another box with a working tape like this: dump -0u -a -b 64 -f - /dev/da1s1e | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd of=/dev/nrsa0 Then to check the dump on srv2 I did restore -i -f /dev/nrsa0 which came back and said the tape block size was different than the dump block size or something like that. From my reading of the dump man page the -b parm controlled the block size of the chunks that dump wrote, but was NOT connected to the actual block size of the tape. Since this tape is a variable block device, I went ahead and set -b to the max... But now what do I do about restore? Is there a better way to control tape block size when piping through ssh? ie, dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=512?? But then what meaning does the -b parm have in dump? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: scsi tape errors
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate all the insights. However, my experience suggest that either I'm doing things very wrong, or I'm using the wrong hardware for BSD. Since the kernel dumps so much information when the scsi bus behaves strangely, isn't there some way to decode from the kernel messages what could really be happening? I ran a full system dump to a tape yesterday. The dump proceeded without error untill it fill the tape, 35 gig. When I put in a new tape, then things began to act strangely. After a full power down and reboot, things are still misbehaving. When I attempt to read the tape the dump wrote without error, I get i/o errors. Even commands like mt status and mt offline cause the input/output error message... and lots of kernel messages similar to what I posted. I'm beginning to wonder if my scsi card has something wrong with it. There's got to be a better way to trouble shoot/track down, diagnose this. btw, I am using an adaptec 29160 wide card.. I am using a wide cable to connect the externel tape unit. And I am using an active terminator on the tape unit. (It does have an LED to signify I guess that it is powered) Are there any additional tools that I can use to check whether this is really a tape device issue, a scsi device issue... etc.?

issue with simple script
I thought I had a tape issue.. Now its clear I have a script issue.
Below is a script I use to perform level 0 dumps on all mounted file
systems. The problem seems to be that when the script runs, it does
not run as root -- even though I am root when I run it. The goal is to
cron it, but as I was testing it I ran into some problems.
First, I can't set the MT variable as its listed below. I get an
permission denial on /dev/nrsa0. This makes no sense, since as root I
can issue the command fine. Moreover, the dump command itself fails
even thought it seems to be rendered syntactically correct. I echo'ed
all the generated commands just to make certain they are correct.
Here's the output of the script:
=
ppsrvx# ./l0dump.sh
./l0dump.sh: /dev/nrsa0: permission denied
comp off
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/ad0s1a
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/da1s1d
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/da0s1e
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/da1s1e
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/ad0s1d
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/da0s1d
/sbin/dump -0u -a -b 64 -f /dev/nrsa0 /dev/ad0s1e
/dev/sa0 offline
==
notice the permission denied..
not also 'comp off' which SHOULD be rendered as
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrsa0 comp off
but isn't.
I'm really stumped here.
Is there some reason why running these commands in a script would
fail, yet running them by hand works?

variable assignment in shell script
I'm at a dead on. I'm trying to assign a variable MT='/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrsa0' in a shell script. The trouble is that the assignment isn't made and the script writes to stdout/err ./l0dump.sh: /dev/nrsa0: permission denied where l0dump.sh is the name of the script. Why would this assignment fail?

problem with tape units
I recently replace an ait tape drive with another one of the same model,, a sony sdx 300. Now, when I try to do anything with /dev/sa0 like get status or erase, I get a ton of errors.

opinion on NICs in mulithomed host
I was wondering what opinions there are regarding the type of NICs to using in a multihomed machine. Will be using fbsd 4.9-rel. Is it a good idea to use NIC's from different manufacturers? Same manufacture? Non-3com? ... As far as performance issues are concerned, is one brand better than another? This will not be doing any bridge/routing...

using ldap for multiple fbsd servers
I have evolved into using freebsd for work group servers over the past years and am now wanting to tie them all together with a synchronized user and group data base. I know NIS has been around and may be considered too unsafe. I've read of rsync'ing master.password and group around.. but I think I want to go with ldap.

Then, to include windows machines via samba - I'm looking for good HOWTO's on doing this. googling freebsd and ldap gives more than 159000 hits..

awk question, maybe
i would like to do something like
df | awk '{print $1}'
to capture all the current file systems. But I would like to strip
off the first and last lines, since these are generally -- not needed.
the goal is to write a generalized script that can feed dump with all
the file systems on a box.
any pointers?

yes.. I was hoping it would be simple. and I thought of using a regex

cvsup and portupgrade
I'm still trying to muddle through the loads of different ways to keep FreeBSD 'current' -- meaning, safely patched, aka RELENG_5_1 (for me) As I conceptualize the operations there are two levels of 'patching', 1) the kernel and base system 2) then all the ports that I may have installed I've read the cvsup docs and can see how to update both the kernel source and ports. But the problem I see is the ports. After the ports collection has cvsupdated, I would still need to do a make install for each port I have previous installed, correct? (or, more appropriately, make deinstall, the cvsup the ports, then make install) Is this making things more difficult? Seems there really should be a cleaner way to keep things updated. I've heard reference to a portupgrade package, but can't find any details on how and what it really does-- and how well it plays with cvsupdate. The other rotten thing here is that cvsupdate requires modula-3 -- and portupgrade requires ruby... It would really be nice if all this were done in the most perfect language, python;-) looking for some advice.. thx. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

on linux there is a -F option to force a fsck on reboot. I couldn't see the equivalent in freebsd. I have a couple of headless freebsd boxes that if they are ever tampered with (well, no they are not in secured locations and they are not secure boxes with keys, they are old pentiums that were salvaged and run GREAT with fbsd) may need a fsck. However, I cant ssh into them and drop them to single user mode to fsck them. I would like to just tell them to reboot and do any file system maint that needs to be done. But I don't see a way do to it.. any pointers? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

tape driver turmoil
I have two freebsd boxes. Box A is 4.4. Box B is 4.7. Box A has a cybernetics DAT tape drive. Box B has a cybernetics AIT/dlt tape drive. I found that with the DAT drive I must set the tape density and blocksize or else the tapes are unreadable, ie the default driver status set the tape to variable block with some strange density. If it don't set the blocksize to 512 and the density to dds4 prior to writing to the tape, it is unreadable. That lead me to check these parms on the AIT drive. However, issueing a density command causes an error. See below. I was using linux on this system prior to fbsd. I made tapes of data sets I wanted to restore with tar. However, after fbsd was installed, the tapes were unreadable. So, I thought I'd hit the same issue with density and blocksize. But I can't set density. I'm beginning to really hate tape units as they all see very different in the way they behave. Is there a really good FAQ on tape units for fbsd? === # Issuing commands mt density 0x41 mt: /dev/nsa0: density: Invalid argument assurbanipal# mt density DLTapeIV Using DLTapeIV as an alias for 0x1a:DLTapeIV(20GB) mt: /dev/nsa0: density: Invalid argument # cause these kernel messages (sa0:ahc1:0:10:0): MODE SELECT(06).

shell script help
I'm trying to clean up a script that controls my tape better. Among
other things it sets some variable to use later. I've made an error
somewhere and I'm thinking that I'm missing the obvious since I cant
find the error. I want to set command line options for tar. Below
taroptions has what I want. Line 12 echo's the command. When I use
what line echo's to the console tar works. However, something is
happening with line 13 that makes tar mad. It tells me
tar can't open the archive /dev/sa0 /var/log
Please advice -- I'm going blind trying understand this one.

invalid argument
while writing to a tape device using tar I get an error message: using 'tar czvf /dev/nsa0 /var/log/' ppsrv3# tar (child): can't write to /dev/nsa0 : Invalid argument My assumptions were 1) the dev/[n]sa0 device was the first scsi tape unit 2) that n meant non-rewinding 3) that I could write one tarball to the tape, then another, in succession. Then each tarball would reside on the tape, one after the other, and that I could untar them in succession as well. So, what would be the cause of the invalid arg messeage above? when attemptint to read the above tar file, with tar tzvf /dev/nsa0 tar happily lists all files in the archive, but ends with: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file I'm wondering if I have a blocking factor problem?

scsi tape curiousity
I have two machine with scsi hard drives and tape units in them. Since these were machine assemble 'on the cheap' they only had a single scsi controller. All scsi Hd's were attached to the same controller as the scsi tape unit. No raid was used in any form. One machine is at FBSD 4.3. It has worked flawlessly for well over 3 years. (it started with linux) The other machine is at FBSD 4.8, recently changed from linux. Now the question is, when I upgraded my second server, I had to change scsi hardware to an adaptec 29160 as my older buslogix/mylex card was not supported under freebsd. I had to go with a wide scsi controller becuase my tape unit is an external device that requires wide scsi. After all the hardware was ready, and FBSD was installed, I went to restore my home directories that were on tape. My tape unit behaved poorly and soon I started to get many strange errors from the kernel. The last message I caught was spec_getpages:(#da/0x2) I/O read failure (error-6) bp 0xc68321bc vo 0xcd379ec0 after that the system becomes unreadable. I called the cybernetics people (maker of the tape unit) and their recommendation was to put the tape unit on a separate scsi controller from the hard drives. I didn't want to do this since but did anyway. It seems to have fixed the problem. I can now use the tape unit. The question is 1) my first FSBD 4.3 system works perfectly find with a single scsi card and all devices attached to it (though it is a different) model tape unit. Why would my second system barf when set up that way. 2) My tape unit and scsi system had been working under linux for years without a problem. Does FBSD do scsi so differently? 3) is anyone else running a tape unit and hard drives off the same controller? 4) I thought the whole point of scsi was to allow multiple devices intelligently communicate on the same buss. Yet, it seems that is NOT the case with tape units and hard drives -- the guy at cybernetics mentioned their access methods can cause problems. Sorry for the length, but I need a new working paradigm regarding scsi cause it looks like everything I thought was wrong... tia -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OR, sometime for some strange reason the sa driver forgets things like blocksize, compression, et. al. so I have to use mt to reset those. I'm very curious how many people use dat/ait style tape units for bsd backups. I've yet to ever get a response from anyone regarding a tape 'issue' (messages like the above) -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
pkg_upgrade ?
I've been searching the handbook and can't seem to find what I'm looking for regarding upgrading a port. I know there is portupgrade... which I'd like to avoid because I don't want to install ruby as well. I do have cvsup installed, and can run cvsup to update my ports collection. My question is if I already have a package installed, running cvsup, the make install again for a preexisting port will mess up the pkg-data base right? So, if I only want to upgrade a single port, is the recommended way 1) pkg_deinstall 2) cvsup ports collection 3) pkg_install again (or make install) This seems rather poor as I don't want to have all the downtime between deinstalling and installing again. If I cvsup ports and then make install, is there a fix to update the pkg data base? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

That's why newsyslog(8) can send a signal on rotating a log file. I'm not quite sure why this is relevant to the actual problem, because it's not really *that* many inodes involved in log files, but then again I'm not sure I completely understand the problem anyway... The problem is that I am running snort and its creating hundreds of entries in /var/log/snort -- one directory for each alert generated by an IP address. then specific info on that alert in a file under each directory. So -- aside from the standard log files, the will be a bazillion files and directories that snort will create.. I know one solution would be to create a separate file system for snort, then mount it at /var/log/snort --- that would likely be the safest. Then if it ever ran out of inodes, /var/log would still function. but then, this is an old box and I don't have another hard drive to throw in it... I think stopping and restarting snort did the trick though. -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
to make or add a package
I'm very impressed with the ports collection. I have found there are two was to install a port, through pkg_add or the make. I was wondering that if a port were a make, if the compiler would do any optimizations on the final executable, therefore giving me a faster/smaller/whatever application. Maybe there would be no significant difference. But, if I have the time to wait, is it worth it? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

scsi tape device issue

you may have to play with the syntax a little but wouldn't this do it?

difs between 4.6.2 and 4.7
I'm installing freebsd on a dell laptop (latituted). It only has a 6 gig drive. I guess my concern is to keep the install small both required memory and disk space. Yet, i would like to use the 'newest' version in hopes that it will have the latest kde and xfree stuff. This may be a mistake though. if the choice is between 4.6.2 and 4.7 which would be a better install if the criterion were 1) keep the install small (hard disk space) 2) keep the working set small in ram 3) make sure the important ports will work -- kde, openoffice, -- a good gui browser (any recommendations) and zope tia. -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
