Hi!

I have an old computer but it works good still :). I use KDE and GIMP and I
like to use Krita more but a problem is graphics card and it is slow (Gimp is
okay).
I have ASUS P4P800 mother board and ATI Radeon 9000 AGP graphics card. I look
for some Nvidia AGP cards (opengl 2.0) but the problem is because my
motherboard AGP supports +1.5V only.
Which gr. card would be better than my but I could use on my motherboard,
please?

Thank in advance,

Maybe the Radeon HD 4670 would be a good card for you to look at.

NFS Install

What I'm wanting to do is build/installworld from my workstation to a
remote machine but both have different /etc/src.conf and kernel
configuration files.  Is there a way to define seperate files so I can
perform this upgrade without any errors?

 I am trying to update my FreeBSD 8.0
 to FreeBSD 8.1.  Here is the order I ran the commands
 in (all as root):
 
 cd /usr/src
 make buildworld
 make buildkernel
 shutdown now
 make installkernel
 shutdown -r now
 adjkerntz -i
 mount -a -t ufs
 mergemaster -p
 cd /usr/src
 make installworld
 mergemaster
 reboot
 
 But I didn't get to run the last two.  When I run make
 installworld, I get errors telling me that the filesystem is
 full.  Now, I can assure you it is not.  Well,
 basically, what I am asking is why is the filesystem full
 after installing the new kernel?

You are supposed to make installkernel before rebooting to single user.

 Ok thank you.  My conclusion was based on the combination of the

 FreeBSD (that it assigns /dev/cuaa{0,1} to its serial devices).
 
 
 I'm having the same problem with new SATA Abit MBs. No matter what I

 Really need it too as my APC UPSes need that serial port.
 
 I've seen this problem posted before and wonder if anyone finally

Problem with pf.conf

2005-03-10 Thread Gardner Bell
Hello all,

I'm trying to reconfigure a more restrictive packet filtering firewall
for my home network but am running into some trouble.  When I run
dhclient dc0 at an attempt to obtain an IP address from my ISP I
receive the normal:

DHCPREQUEST on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on dc0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67

DHCPDISCOVER eventually fails after the fourth or fifth try.  When I
run tcpdump at the same time as dhclient dc0 I receive the following
arp requests.  The 70.xxx.xxx.x is my gateway I'm trying to communicate
with.

14:59 arp who-has 7.x.xxx.xxx tell 70.xxx.xxx.x
...  I see about 3-400 of these.

Here is a partial excerpt of my pf.conf with what I believe to be the
most relevant sections needed to obtain an ISP on the WAN nic.

pass out on $ext_if proto tcp from any to x.x.x.x port 53 keep state
pass out on $ext_if proto udp from any to x.x.x.x port 53 keep state

The above lines are duplicated as I have two nameservers that I am able
to use.

To contact my ISPs DHCP I use the following

pass out on $ext_if proto udp from any to x.x.x.x port 68 keep state
pass in on $ext_if from x.x.x.x to any port 68 keep state

I also seem to be having a problem with the same NAT directive I've
used on less restrictive firewalls.

nat on $ext_if from $int_if:network to any - ($ext_if)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Reagrds,

Improving System Security

2005-01-27 Thread Gardner Bell
I normally run in securelevel 1 and according to the securelevel manual page
not even root can change system immutable file flags.  What I would
like to do is set the schg and sappnd flags on as many system binaries
as possible to improve security somewhat should my firewall get
hacked.

Question is, will I still be able to rebuild world in securelevel 1
without running into all sorts of errors due to schg being set?  Is
there an easier and more efficient way of improving the security of a
firewall or is this about my best bet.  I've read the sections on MAC
in the FreeBSD handbook but I'm afraid I'd end up locking myself out
if I were to go this route as I don't understand enough about MAC as
of yet.

You can use the MAKE_ARGS option in pkgtools.conf.  It allows you to

 Hello friends.
 
 I am a FreeBSD newbie, I am going to ask you a question that I have not
 been able to solve reading the manual. I am using 5.3 release. I have
 compiled a custom kernel in my old pentium 75 MHz machine to include 
 the driver for my sound card. I added the following lines to the kernel
 config file
 
 device sound
 device snd_es137x
 
 and compiled the kernel perfectly. (long time ;-)  )
 
 But there is something that I do not understand well. When I look at 
 the contents of /boot/kernel/ directory, I found that there are 
 kernel sound modules *.ko for every sound card the kernel supports. 
 Should not there be my sound card module alone? Does It mean that 
 you have to compile all the stuff, even if you are going to use only 
 one kind of sound card? Am I missing something?
 
 
 Your sound card has been build into the kernel itself (which is 
 /boot/kernel/
 kernel AFAIK). The *.ko are kernel modules, which you can load using the 
 kldload command. So in case you get a new sound card, find out what driver 
 it supports and you can use kldload yourdriver.ko to get support for 
 your sound card without recompiling your kernel.
 
 
 
 Yes, I understand now. The problem is that my old pentium machine takes 
 very long time to compile all the modules even if I am not going to use 
 them. I would like to compile only the modules I use, to reduce 
 compiling time. Is that possible?
 
Refer to the option MODULES_OVERRIDE in man make.conf(5) if you wish
to only compile certain modules.

 Hello,
 
 I asked about the new scheduler on the performance list. Below is
 (posted on list) reply:
 
 FWIW, one of the reasons that there hasn't been as much 
 interest in SCHED_ULE lately is likely that several of the 
 features previously only present in SCHED_ULE are now also 
 present in SCHED_4BSD -- for example, making more effective 
 uses of IPIs in reducing latency during inter-process 
 communication across processors.  While SCHED_ULE does contain 
 a number of interesting things not present in SCHED_4BSD, the 
 4BSD scheduler has hardly gone un-improved in that time.  
 However, Jeff Robserson does seem to have picked up recently 
 on both VFS SMP locking and ULE.  The scheduler tracing and 
 visualization tools he committed a couple of weeks ago are 
 really quite neat tools.
 
 Robert N M Watson
 
 So we'll just have to wait until ULE is fully baked to see which
 scheduler is best for a given application. For a more definitive
 answer, you may want to ask directly on the performance list.
 
Thanks for your reply, I do have more questions regarding this so I'll
ask away on the performance list.

I've probably included more modules than I will ever use, but I think
it gives you an idea.  You will *definitely* want to modify the
modules to your specific hardware.

Thread Scheduling

2005-01-20 Thread Gardner Bell
While reading The Design and Implementation of FreeBSD I came across
the section on thread scheduling.  At the present time I am only
testing FreeBSD on a single processor system, but will be moving to an
SMP once I complete building it.  Now it says that since FreeBSD 5.0
the /sys/kern/sched_ule.c along with the historic 4.4BSD scheduler is
available to be used at the time the kernel is built.

My question is, will I notice any performance improvement by using the
new scheduler opposed to the 4.4BSD scheduler on an SMP system and can
the new scheduler be utilized on a single processor system?  The
intended use of the SMP system is for MySQL databases only.

Note: I'm far from a C or kernel guru so if anyone replies please
respond in a manner a noobie to C would understand.

Regards
Gardner

chmod: Operation not permitted

2005-01-18 Thread Gardner Bell
After rebuilding world last night I can no longer chmod some system
binaries that I don't need.  When attemtping to do so I get a permission 
denied. 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod 000 /bin/rcp
chmod: /bin/rcp: Operation not permitted.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod 000 /bin/rlogin
chmod: /bin/rlogin: Operation not permitted

The only binaries this seems to be happening with are the ones used
for remote operations.  Ie: rcp, rlogin, rsh, opieinfo, etc.  I
followed the complete instructions in the handbook when rebuilding
world so I don't think that could be the problem.  But I did run the
following after the system booted correctly. 

# cd /usr/obj
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *

Could this be the problem?  The output of uname is 5.3-RELEASE-p5 and
I am running in kernel.securelevel=1.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 5(operator)

These are the flags I used in make.conf to build world.
CPUTYPE=i686
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
MAKESHELL?=sh
NO_DYNAMICROOT=true
NOPROFILE=true
NO_BIND=true

If any further information is needed let me know.  Thanks for your
help.

Regards
Gardner

 Check chlags(1) manpage for more information.
 
 Oh, btw. which rlogin gives me /usr/bin/rlogin on 5.3-RELEASE. Is
 that a typo in your message?
 
I see that now, and /bin/rlogin was indeed a typo on my part.  Reading
man chflags now.

Thanks

httperf warning

2005-01-12 Thread Gardner Bell
Hi,
I've been benchmarking Apache13 the past few days with httperf and
always see the following warning.  Open file limit  FD_SETSIZE;
limiting max. # of open files to FD_SETSIZE.  Can I safely increase
FD_SETSIZE without buggering anything up or is this something that
shouldn't be touched?  If it is safe to change is this an option that
one would compile into the kernel itself or is there another way of
doing so?
I'm thinking that it would be options FD_SETSIZE=2088, the 2088 being
equivalent kern.maxfiles?  I'm probbaly wrong with this assumption so
hopefully someone out there can help me out.

Thanks
Gardner

Do you have a secure kernel level set in /etc/rc.conf?  If so I think
you will have to lower it.  I tried running X once with securelevel 1
and got the same error.

Procmail Lockfile

2004-12-21 Thread Gardner Bell
Hi,
I'm trying to setup procmail to deliver my mail but I continuously receive the 
following errors in my log file.
procmail: Locking ~/Mail/Lists/FreeBSD-Questions.lock
procmail: Error while writing to ~/Mail/Lists/_YmHxxx.gardnerbell.ca
I do receive my mail but it always ends up in the default location that I have 
specified.

In my .procmailrc file I have the following environment variables: 
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/received
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmailrc
LISTFOLDER=$HOME/Mail/Lists
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail

This is the recipe that fails to acquire a lock
:0:
* ^(From|To).*freebsd.org
~/Mail/Lists/FreeBSD-Questions

The permissions on my Mail and Lists directory are set to drwx--
Any help to resolve this is appreciated.

TIA

  You want the receipe to store emails in
  /home/you/Mail/Lists/FreeBSD-Questions?
 
  So the receipe has to be:
  :0:
 
  * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Lists/FreeBSD-Questions
 
 I use:
 
 * ^List-Id:.*freebsd-questions.freebsd.org
 
 so that mail from other fbsd lists aren't mixed up in the wrong folders, 
 and so I can separate CC responses.
 
 - jt

Both recipies have worked for me, thanks for the help
