RE: i386/amd64 co-exist
Someone broke the silence: I would like to be able to setup a system so that on power up I can choose weather to boot into either i386 or amd64. Is this possible or would I some how have to install the two releases on their own? No matter what I do above I would also like to be able to have a user log in no matter which kernel is up and have their own home directory. I am guessing that if I put /usr/home on its own then that could solve that idea? Anyone doing anything like this or know of a site to point me at for some information? Thanks Sean Ask yourself this question. I would like to be able to set up a vehicle that I can choose wheather to use v4 motor or v8 motor. That's so when I toss a car key to this kid, he will only use the vehicle with V4 motor enabled. When I take this same car key, I want to use a vehicle with a V8. Can both V4 and V8 co-exist in a single vehicle? Kernel is similar to a motor in a PC. What's bad is that you also re-compile every binary (make buildworld and make makekernel) to be supported with amd64 optimizations to make it a amd64 system. You would have to do the same if you want it to be an i386 system. You can't flip back and forth between a different architecture to another architecture based on only the kernel swapping as you can do with a car if you swap the motors back and forth (with huge amount of physical work).

RE: Custom Build
Someone broke the silence: snip What I want to do is make a custom automated build for FreeBSD. Basically, create a build, burn it to CD-ROM, go stick it into a server and it automatically configures to the correct hardware, auto sets up the file system (1 hard drive per server) and then reboots. When it comes back up, I have a full functionaly customized FreeBSD install. Sounds like Corporate roll out OS release that you are looking for. The only interaction that should happen during the install, is putting in the hostname, select static or dynamic ip and then [for non-FreeBSD app] select to save to local or network drive. I'm good with perl/bash, etc, so I know how to create a script to automate the install for our application. There's install.cfg in /usr/src for sysinstall to use to make things more automatic for you in the menu system. snip The build I want to create would be a mini-FreeBSD, just the kernal, some basic programs and 1 non-FreeBSD application. The only port that would be open is for SSHD and all servers would sit behind a firewall in there own seperate subnet (firewall only routes http requests to upload data and incoming ssh connections). Sounds like a job for a net install. snip Could someone point me in the right direction or to some documentation or other resources? There are manpages on release(7) and plenty of documentations of creating cd image releases in the handbook.

RE: system cloning
Someone broke the silence: Here's my scenario: I have a system that we are running in production that there was an oversight on, and it has a single hard drive installed (32GB SCSI I believe), rather than a 3 drive raid5 array. We would like to correct this, but we have all sorts of up-to-date packages and config files that we've tweaked that we would hate to just start over on it. There are many methods. If it was my situtation and it's only up to 32 GB of space, I would do this: 1. Get a temporary computer with at least 32 GB available. Set it up as a file server (Samba) with FreeBSD. 2. Mount it as a NFS server. 3. Use cp -rp for those directories (etc, usr, home, and all the others). Also write down the partitions. 4. Replace the single hard drive with 3 hard drives and set up RAID 5. 5. Install the exact same partitions that you originally had on the previous setup system. 6. Mount the file share on your temporary computer system with the data. 7. Copy everything back except those in /boot 8. Modify the fstab file if there is a difference between the original and the new setup. I might have forgot something. Chris Haulmark There's a tool for OSX called Carbon Copy Cloner that would take care of this for me, which is basically a series of copy commands that takes the filesystem from one drive to another, preserving EVERYTHING important, and then bless the boot volume. Is there anything similar I can do on FreeBSD? My boss thinks I should be able to tar up the entire filesystem, create the raid array, and untar the whole thing on the new array. I seem to think this will fail due to block devices that have changed, fstab entries that have changed (though this is correctable), and symlinks that don't nicely come across.

RE: smtp pull
Someone broke the silence: Hi, Looking for some thoughts on the following scenario. firewall smtp2 smtp1 smtp1 is on the DMZ. So smtp1 is the first point of call for incoming mail. Mail ultimately has to end up on smtp2 however I do not want smtp1 to simply forward the mail to smtp2 as I'll have to explicitly allow the setup of port 25 through the firewall to smtp2. I would like smtp2 to connect to smtp1 and pull back the mail so that it's smtp2 that initiating an outgoing connection to smtp1. Maybe fetchmail is what you need? That is what most of dialup users use when they run their own MTA servers. Chris Is there any smtp type approach I can use? Obviously I can make smtp1 drop the mail in a mailbox on smtp1 and then get smtp2 to imap or pop the mail out however I'm looking for something that's fast and pop doesn't really excite me..

RE: Supermicro Hardware and FreeBSD
Someone broke the silence: One system cost me 3 months salary in Russia. Is this how you treat your users? Why can't your developer use the machine they used to make 5.3 work? Yes, I know things are expensive. So are the rewards. Would it be worth it? The reason that Ted asked for a donation of the server is because apparently none of them have access to one to make FreeBSD work properly on this particular system architecture. Ted's request is not the only thing that can be done. You can even loan for a certain period of time if you wish. The time period would have to be sufficent enough for the developers. The developers can reward you (support for FreeBSD) if you give them something (donation money, parts, gimmericks). That is why you got a free OS. Everyone tell me to use LINUX. Now I know why. You support bad slow version and not good one. Very stupid people. FreeBSD is more organized and managed more professionally compared to many of the Linux distrubtion organizations. That is why anyone will tell you to use anything except $THAT. The FreeBSD development seems slow compared to Linux development for numberous of reasons. I cannot and will not name them except for one. We go for quality...not bleeding edge (I did that first!..but it's broken after few days).

My question is: can I install the FreeBSD bootloader on the second hard drive and use something like GAG on a floppy to boot it? ice I just use the BIOS to change back and forth with the hard drives.

Can you include official support for this cards in the next FreeBSD releases? :-D Please! I have used direcway satellite internet systems in the past.

RE: Designed for FreeBSD stickers
Someone broke the silence: Now we need to slap few graphic designers and a marketer together and lock them up in a closet. You want to slap them and then lock them up in a closet? They'll probably all eat the marketer for suggesting that Windows is better than either FreeBSD or Mac. Nice diet? After few more minutes of thinkings, 'Powered by' is more suitable than 'Designed for'. I work as a system administrator. We have mixture of Linux, Windows, Freebsd(thanks to me) in our server room. It's pretty sad when I can see the Windows and the Linux (redhat - slackware) logos stuck on the front of the rack servers. We show our potential clients to our production server rooms whenever they request for it. They always ask what those (freebsd) servers are running because there are no logo stickers. I ended up sticking a white label with black arial font FreeBSD. Is this what FreeBSD systems deserve? FreeBSDsystems had couple of nice logos on their server packages. I think that we should set few samples up for the community to use. For myself, I want one so I can stick it on my desktop at home so it'll look better to casual computer users and to annoy my wife that my desktop is better than her gentoo desktop.

RE: Outputting command to a text file
Someone broke the silence: I want to use the du command to check on the sizes of files in a directory, but i want the output to be put into a text file so I can look at it later. Use the character at the end of your command to redirect it to wherever you want.

I would use two . du -d 1 -h / /home/chris/du.og Remember, if you use one , you will wipe out the original results and replace it with the newer results. Files are not the only thing you can usually use after the character. I did some search on google, and found nothing that applied. Searched other places (lists and things) and couldn't find what i was looking for, perhaps i was using the wrong search terms.

RE: Problems installing Subversion

What's going on? The only thing in UPDATING is talking about installing Subversion with Apache2, which I am not doing; I couldn't find anything relevant on the mailing lists. Check in the freebsd-ports mailing list archive. There's a few days old thread regarding this including a patch to update your version to subversion 1.1.0. I would just do a cvsup to see if Subversion has been updated or not. If not, use the patch. Thanks.

RE: php4 with gd?
Can someone please give me a clue? I thought I remembered that there was a text gui asking what options we want, but it doesn't appear anymore. Have you looked in the ports collection of lang/php4-extensions? Bingo! This seems to be the correct answer! cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions make WITH_GD=yes WITH_GETTEXT=yes install does the trick! Or one can leave off the WITH_* vars and select them in the text gui. Life would be so much easier if the php4 make and pkg-descr would mention where to look for extentions. How is someone supposed to know this exists (without monitoring all freebsd mailing lists)? There is an entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING: 20040719: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command php -m. This is why it is always recommended for all FreeBSD users to monitor the /usr/ports/UPDATING after they do cvsup of their ports system.

Currently I am using anoncvs in order to synch my source. From there I run the typical # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # # mergemaster -p# make installworld# mergemaster# reboot Should I only perform this when a security vulnerability is found? I am trying to achieve maximum uptime for these systems and want to confirm how often I should perform a core system update. Please wrap you lines aroun 72 chars. See http://www.lemis.com/questions.html If you're shooting for max uptime and the most stable system, you can follow the procedure I follow for most of my clients: 1) Install the latests 4.x-RELEASE 2) cvsup to RELENG_4_x (currently RELENG_4_10) 3) rebuild/reinstall the core system. 4) When 4.11 comes out, schedule a weekend and cvsup the system to RELENG_4_11, rebuild/reinstall. Pay special attention to /usr/src/UPDATING, repeat for 4.12, etc 5) Subscribe to FreeBSD-security. When a vuln is announced, recvsup to the RELENG_4_x and rebuild/reinstall Or simply follow the alert's patch instructions if it is unrelated to a kernel fix. A service or two would require to be restarted after being patched. 6) Step 5 can occasionally be skipped. For example, there were many sites that I had using FreeBSD that I didn't have to update when bind problems were fixed, because they weren't running DNS servers. If you're not sure, you're safer updating than not. For instance, today, a CVS server had a security alert sent out, which is not important to those of us who do not use CVS server. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Chris Haulmark System Admin.
