After reading a little documentation and talking to a cowworker, I was under the impression that this would allow windows clients to access files on the FreeBSD system, kind of the reverse of what I wanted. Then I read the man page for the samba suite and it says: smbclient(1) The smbclient program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running Windows NT). That sounds like I could push a file across when needed and be done with it rather than trying to coordinate the remote users to get the file at some time after I left it in a given directory. Is that just wishful thinking or will it work that way when properly configured? I need to be able to tell others in this group what is possible and that one little paragraph seems to say one can copy out from the UNIX box to the shared drive. Hi, After reading all this I'm still not certain about what do you want to do. If you are trying to just transfer some files from a FreeBSD machine to a Windows machine (or in the other direction) once, without much configuration, smbclient will let you do that. Run it on the FreeBSD machine and connect to a Windows machine. If you want to make the FreeBSD machine into a server for Windows machines (i.e. the files will always be on the FreeBSD machine but Windows users can access them, i.e. the FreeBSD machine will share files), then you need to configure Samba properly (edit smb.conf). Any particular gotchas regarding XP which soon will be Vista in this neck of the woods? No particular problems. Once configured, Samba works without additional maintenance. If you just want to transfer files to the Win box on an ad hoc, periodic basis, why not just set up ssh on your FreeBSD box and use WinSCP on the Win box? Simpler than setting up Samba (though we use it very successfully here). -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All positive suggestions are welcome. The drive is mechanically and electrically good. I just can't mount it and use it under FreeBSD. It was a dual boot drive with a DOS partition on the first partition and FreeBSD 5.4 on partition two. I did the normal sysinstall for FreeBSD 5.5 as I had done many times before. Unfortunately, I had the older, FreeBSD 5.4 drive cabled up (and powered up) on the second IDE channel (using cable select) of an i386 motherboard while I did the 5.5 install on a new, blank drive on the first IDE channel. I told sysinstall to add the standard FreeBSD bootloader on the new drive. I don't recall if I allowed for a DOS partition or just used the entire disk. The FreeBSD 5.4 disk on the second IDE channel also had the standard FreeBSD bootloader from my earlier sysinstall of 5.4 on that disk. When I completed the install, I figured I could just mount the second (older) drive manually. When I tried to do this, things went from bad to worse, and the new system could never recognize the drive. I believe the installation process attempted to (or succeeded in) putting (an unnecessary) bootloader on the older drive. Had it not been connected, it would probably be okay today. I learned an important lesson at that time... I don't know what steps to take to recover this drive so I can mount it in a read-only mode. I just want to recover the files on this drive. It is very small by today's standards, so I will likely not use the drive in production.

I'm using VMWare all the time with FreeBSD since 6.0 and here are my experiences: - The only thing that VMWare tools are useful (on FreeBSD) is to get GUI features like clipboard sharing and automatic mouse focus grab in X.Org. VMWare tools on Linux seem to include a driver that does something with memory management, but it's not available for FreeBSD. You don't need VMWare Tools for the following things to work: networking, timer, X.Org GUI. - Networking is handled by the le driver (in the old versions of FreeBSD there was lnc) or the em driver. These two will work without any special configuration of FreeBSD. To use the em driver, you might need to modify the VM configuration to include ethernet0.virtualDev = e1000 or a similar appropriate line. To use the VMWare vmxnet driver (which as far as I can see isn't much different than the le driver), you need to build a kernel without the le driver first. - Timer problems can be lessened (never solved, even with vmware tools) by reducing kern.hz to something like 50 or 100 Hz (in loader.conf), and installing ntpd. - X.Org can use the generic vmware display driver which is included in the default X.Org collection of drivers. Mouse, etc. are also handled generically. Don't expect great performance, but if you're using VM technology you're used to it. Thank you, Ivan! Very insightful post on the issue. As you may know, the documentation regarding VMware Server and FreeBSD isn't great (one of the burdens we bear :-) ). It's not clear about the NIC driver at all; the installed le0 iface is working just fine as it is. I've also got the GUI working, but for the most part, it's worthless. I just thought it best to use the the included VMware Tools, as per VMware. My thanks, also, to everyone else who responded. Much appreciated.

Like Kris said, not really good. An option may be, if you want to limit
your exposure to compatibility issues, is to use libmap.conf , so you only
map libc.so.6 as .5 ONLY for certain executables/libraries that depend on
them.
I find it this method a much better one to managed - one central place to
manage library tricks, and is more advanced than symlinking. And you can
easily transfer it to other systems

The other day, I did a fresh install of v. 7RC2 from the minimal CD on a CentOS 5.1 box running VMware server 1.0.4. I had previously successfully installed v. 6.2, and upgraded to 6.3 on the same box. All has gone well, except for the installation of VMware Tools. Getting the Tools tarball and extracting the requisite files was trivial. However, when I try to run Vmware-Config-Tools.pl, I get a message saying that the program must be run on a virtual machine. Well, it is. Is there a needed FBSD package I'm missing (the Tools install program doesn't complain about it). A known issue, or bug, maybe? Or is VMware support not yet enabled? Help would be greatly appreciated. I just went through almost the same thing, installing FreeBSD 7 under VMware Workstation on Windows. The config-tools script has a hard-coded version check which looks for libc.so.6 under /lib only. Rather than mess with the script, I just hard-linked the library from /usr/local/lib/compat (where it was installed by the compat6x port). Seemed to work fine after that. You'll need to be careful not to erase it if you ever run make delete-old-libs, though. Thanks for the response! A symlink won't do for the above? Try it and see! I think I decided on a hard link since the script uses something like if [ -f /lib/libc.so.6 ] so it's looking only for a regular file and not a symlink. Hmm, when I try to hard-link (ln /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 libc.so.6), I get ln: ./libc.so.6: Cross-device link. But, when I do a symlink, which takes, I get /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object ld-linux.so.2 not found, required by libc.so.6 when i run vmware-config-tools.pl. So, I symlink ld-linux.so.2, and run tools. Then, I get /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol __stdoutp referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/vmware-checkvm. Arrgh. Any other ideas? You have /usr on a different partition than / in your VM, so you can't do a hard link. I would just copy the file back to /lib and not worry about it. Linking in other random libraries will cause problems, as you've observed. JN If I copy libc.so.6 to /lib, then tools complains about ld-linux.so.2. If I copy ld-linux.so.2, it then complains about /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol __stdoutp referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/vmware-checkvm. This is pretty much the same as if I symlink the two files. Even though I'm a glass half-full guy, this is beginning to look dire (but it's the worst thing to happen to me, I'm sure I'll live). Still, it would be nice to get this working. I did this a few days ago: /lib/libc.so. existed. I symlinked libc.so.6 to it. I then proceeded to install VMware Tools without complaint. However, I'm not sure if there's a vmware FreeBSD NIC driver. If there is, it's not being used (as per dmesg, the AMD PCnet-PCI driver appears to be used). On a Linux vm (please, no stone throwing :-) ), to use the vmxnet driver, I'd stop the network service, load the vmxnet driver module, then restart the service. Is there a similar procedure on FreeBSD? Thanks.

You have /usr on a different partition than / in your VM, so you can't do a hard link. I would just copy the file back to /lib and not worry about it. Linking in other random libraries will cause problems, as you've observed. JN If I copy libc.so.6 to /lib, then tools complains about ld-linux.so.2. If I copy ld-linux.so.2, it then complains about /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol __stdoutp referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/sbin/vmware-checkvm. This is pretty much the same as if I symlink the two files. Even though I'm a glass half-full guy, this is beginning to look dire (but it's the worst thing to happen to me, I'm sure I'll live). Still, it would be nice to get this working. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 7RC2 and VMware tools
Hello to all. I'm not sure whether to have posted this here or on a VMware list; apologies if I'm in the wrong place. The other day, I did a fresh install of v. 7RC2 from the minimal CD on a CentOS 5.1 box running VMware server 1.0.4. I had previously successfully installed v. 6.2, and upgraded to 6.3 on the same box. All has gone well, except for the installation of VMware Tools. Getting the Tools tarball and extracting the requisite files was trivial. However, when I try to run Vmware-Config-Tools.pl, I get a message saying that the program must be run on a virtual machine. Well, it is. Is there a needed FBSD package I'm missing (the Tools install program doesn't complain about it). A known issue, or bug, maybe? Or is VMware support not yet enabled?
