Re: amd64, 57600 serial install help
I assume you have compiled the bootblocks as per the instruction in the handbook. Second, do you have more than one serial port on the box because FreeBSD can only work its serial console magic on only one port at a time. If you redirect your IPMI serial console or just a normal serial console, take note it's interrupt number in the BIOS. You'll need to append the 0x10 flags to your UART device in device.hints file if the you plug in the cable at a non-default port. ihsan On Jul 22, 2012, at 1:47 AM, Paul Macdonald wrote: what am i doing wrong here?

Re: IPMI SoL oddity on 9.0
I've managed to get SoL to work. Turned out the IPMI is utilizing uart2 on my box so modified loader.conf so uart2 is configured to be the serial console port. hint.uart.0.flags=0x0 hint.uart.2.at=isa hint.uart.2.port=0x3E8 hint.uart.2.irq=10 hint.uart.2.flags=0x10 The handbook does not seem to indicate this very clearly but well, now that it's working, I'm a happy man. ihsan On Jun 13, 2012, at 5:53 AM, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim wrote: Folks, I'm hitting a roadblock on getting IPMI SoL up and running on my Supermicro box.

Re: Detaching program from controlling terminal
Matthew Seaman wrote: Since you aren't allowing your users to log into your FreeBSD server the question arises as to why exactly they need passwords there? Two things leap to mind immediately: access to shared filesystems or access to an e-mail server. It's an e-mail server. Previously I set it up to use MySQL authentication which allows the virtual users to change the password via a simple PHP-based script. The obvious drawback to this method is that these users don't enjoy system-level utilities such as quota and mail forwarding via procmail/maildrop. The former is actually implementable (though we never got it done) but it complicates matters. We're trying to keep everything manageable to within reasonable limits since this is not the only box in here and the resources are tight. Postfix-style virtual domain allows virtual users to have their own home directories, thus enjoying system-level utilities hence the reason why I went ahead with the plan of implementing it until the users realize that the *complexities* behind changing the password. Being in their situation before, I can understand their predicament. As for the privacy issue, the administrators will have to know the users password should they want to change them. The administrators are off-site and the only way to do so currently is to phone in their password. Since passwd and pw are ruled out, what can I do to allow the users to manage their accounts properties? Is Usermin viable in this setting? Can centralized authentication mechanism such as LDAP/RADIUS/TACACS be recommended?

Detaching program from controlling terminal
Hi all, I'm somehow stuck in the loop now and am hoping some of you can give me pointers on how to proceed. Due to a customer requirement, I need to build a simple web-based (via cgi or php) script to change the system password. They found that sshing to the server and typing passwd to change the password is wee too involving hence the need to use a much friendlier interface. Letting the sysadmins change the user's password is not a good idea, as the sysadmins are outsourced and the users value their privacy. FYI, all the users has a /sbin/nologin shell set. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I understand there are two primary way to change a user's password, either via passwd or pw. Since pw is a root-only program, that doesn't seem the best way to do it over the web so I'm left with passwd. Since passwd gets its input from the controlling terminal, I simply cannot get an environment variable passed via stdin. Reading over daemon(8) I finally got it that I need to detach passwd from the controlling terminal and run it as a daemon. This is where I entered the loop and never seem to get out of it. I couldn't get passwd to run properly because once it entered daemon mode, it locked up the whole terminal and subsequent tries also suffered the same fate. If there's something that I have missed or there's better alternatives, please point it out. :) Thanks, Ihsan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD
Hello all, I'm building a small workgroup (10 PCs) which will be used for software and network testing as well for day-to-day usage. We're also conducting small classes teaching UNIX for school students in our area. Therefore I'm looking for a good integrated Athlon chipset which are supported in FreeBSD. I'm specifically looking at Epox EP-8KMM+ utilizing the VIA KM266 chipset. But I'm a little doubtful about the sound, video and above all, the NIC. The sound uses Realtek ALC201A chipset, the video is VT8375 ProSavage8 and the NIC utilizes Realtek RTL8100B(L). I can't seem to find on the FreeBSD hardware page supports for the sound and the NIC while a search on Xfree driver site turned zero on the video. Does this mean, that they are not supported? I'm really interested in the chipset because it's cheap and most of us are literate when it comes to hardware, we can skip the support that comes with pricier brands and motherboards. My other option would be Asus A7N-266E using the nForce 420D chipset. I've heard cases that this particular motherboard is usable in FreeBSD. The NIC is RTL8139 (rl) while other nForce boards seem to use the MCP-D built-in LAN, which I can't seem to find any cases of it being run on any installation. I'm open to any suggestion that will allow me to choose the best platform for our research. Cost of course is a factor but I will not buy cheap if it's going to prove a hassle in the future.

Re: Good integrated Athlon chipset for FreeBSD
On Monday 13 January 2003 04:28, Adam Maas wrote: The nForce based boards would be your best bet. Good solid chipset with a decent video core. You should be able to find one that's less expensive than the Asus. Perhaps an MSI or Gigabyte. Gigabyte doesn't make nForce. I'm keen on the MSI but I'm unsure of the NIC support. Unlike Asus which uses the clunky RTL8139 chipset, the MSI sticks with Nvidia original design, that is using the ones integrated into the MCP. I couldn't find any listing of it in the Hardware section so I'm assuming that it's unsupported. I'm not keen on an add on NIC, if the NIC was integrated, might as well take advantage of it. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Using GRUB with 2 kernels
Hello all, How do I put in the GRUB's menu.lst, 2 different kernels, say /kernel and /kernel.old? I can't seem to boot /kernel.old using loader. How can I allow configure loader to boot the kernel not specified in loader.conf? It helps if I can have loader do the job for me automatically if I ever want to use the old kernel.

Postfix configuration (MX and whatnot)
Hello all, I've installed Postfix MTA on my machine and I'm have a few questions pertinent to it. I've setup named on this machine which I configure in 10 subdomains under a domain, trigger.lan which is the hostname of my machine. I've put MX configuration to point to a CNAME under mail.trigger.lan which in return, points to an A NAME of raya.trigger.lan. I've read from the documentation that Postfix does work through CNAME declaration. 1) However under the Postfix main.cf, do I assign the myhostname with mail.trigger.lan or do I just let it be configured through gethostbyname () which will return trigger.lan? I'm quite behind the curve in regards to this. 2) I've also been accumulating root's dead mails (through periodic cron) although I did a newaliases on /etc/aliases. The root account was diverted to a real user account in this file. Has this something to do with the MTA or was it something else? The sendmail's rc.conf lines are as follows sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_flags=-bd sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO Thanks in advance. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Adding to standard include path (GCC)
Hello all, I'm a starter to programming in FreeBSD after a few years in Visual C++ and would like to delve deeper into it. But I have a few questions which I need answers. I hope it wouldn't be too much a burden to you. I have two gccs installed, 2.95.4 (stock gcc) and 3.1.1. 1) How do add to the standard include path to a path that I designated without using the -I flag or is it fixed only to /usr/local/include and /usr/include. 2) I notice that the gcc31 include files does not contain the standard C headers ie stdio.h, assert.h etc. Does this mean whenever I want to link to the header, it is sufficient to use the ones in /usr/include? 3) I notice too that there are many C++ and STL include files I'm getting confused on which ones to use. The files are located at /usr/include/g++, /usr/local/lib/i386-portbld-freebsd4.7/3.1.1/include/g++v3 and /usr/local/lib/i386-portbld-freebsd4.7/3.1.1/include/g++v3/backward. Can someone enlighten me on which one should I use. I intend on programming purely in C++ with the exception that in later date, I might be forced to use some of the C include files.

Adding new disk as the primary.
Hello all, My disk is getting full and I'm thinking of getting bigger and faster disk to accomodate my installation.

The present disk will serve as /usr/ports partition and the rest will be placed on the upcoming disk. Is there a way to do this or do I have to do a reinstallation?

apache2 directory index forbidden by rule
Hello all, I have an apache manual directory located in /usr/local/share/doc/apache2 which I'm trying to link from my local website. I symlink the folder to a local folder in my home directory and all I'm getting is directory index forbidden by rule when I looked inside the log file. The problem it seems to be on the extra filename tacked on the htmls file ie: index.html.en, index.html.ja and all. I tried plain old index.html and all are fine. I tried adding the line AddOutputFilter Includes html on the directory where the symlink and the actual folder but still no go. It only happens in virtual host context, if I put the Directory statement in global context, it work. The only caveat is that I have to put an alias; or else there' no way I'm able to reference the folder. Here's the directives that I put in the VHost context; Directory /home/ihsan/www/data/freebsd/docs Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AddOutputFilter Includes html AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Directory /usr/local/share/doc/apache2 Options Indexes MultiViews AddOutputFilter Includes html AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory I don't want to refer the files in global aliasing/directory context. I only want to refer them from my local directory. I have a bunch of html docs located in /usr/local/share/docs which I symlinked just fine and apache is the only misbehaving kid on the block.

Tiger MPX and mbmon
Hello all, I'm using mbmon 2.00 (not available in the ports yet) and I'm getting mixed results partnering it with a Tyan Tiger MPX 2466-4M with 2 Athlon MP 1800+. The kernel does not support neither one of the Winbond chips (W83627HF W83782D) used on this board hence the use of mbmon. mbmon specifies that the W83627HF uses the ISA I/O ports while the other one uses the SMBus direct access. My setup detected fine only the W83627HF but not at all the W83782D. However it detects the first one using the SMBus not the ISA I/o as per the README says. As a result, I can't get accurate readings of my temperature, the results are all mixed up, some of the temps supposedly applicable to the latter chip turned out in the reading. There's only one displayed; the one with the W83627HF chip, the other chip's reading went missing, presumably because it wasn't detected in the first place. Has someone encounter this strange occurence yet? Here's the spec from the README --- [Note] From the present version the special treatment of Tyan's dual CPU motherboard, TigerMP/MPX is supported. This motherboard has two sensor chips, and one has to enable the second one. In order to attach and enable the second sensor, one has to use a Tyan specific option(-Y for mbmon, -TyanTigerMP for xmbmon). Then the first sensor is accessed through SMBus and the second one through ISA IO. Here the values are the followings: 1st sensor (SMBus, W83782D) temp0 VRM2 temperature temp1 CPU1 temperature temp2 CPU2 temperature Vcore0 CPU1 Vcore Vcore1 CPU2 Vcore Volt 0 AGP voltage Volt 1 system 5V Volt 2 DDR voltage Volt 3 - Volt 4 standby 3.3V 2nd sensor (ISA IO, W83627HF) temp0 VRM1 temperature temp1 AGP temperature temp2 DDR temperature Vcore0 CPU1 Vcore Vcore1 CPU2 Vcore Volt 0 system 3.3V Volt 1 system 5V Volt 2 system 12V Volt 3 system -12V Volt 4 - --- Here's my mbmon -d output.

Booting from a CD-ROM
Hello all, I can't search the archives for a solution. I thought I give this list a try. WinXP screwed me last night and I'm forced to reinstall it. I totally forgot that I already have a FreeBSD installation on it and realized only after I installed it that I would not be able to boot if off because WinXP MBR had already overridden it with its own. I don't have floppy on this system, only CD-ROM. I notice there's an option boot: I assume, for selecting kernel after booting off from a FreeBSD CD. How do I make use of the option? Do I need to include the specific disk and slice. I have 3 disks da0, da1 and ad0 according to BIOS ordering. FreeBSD stays in da1 and the kernel resides at /kernels/kernel-new. I read from the handbook that boot2 stage spawns off loader or boot3 stage depending on the parameters. Also it explains up until unload and set kernel, if possible I want to use loader because I've done a few customizations in loader.conf which I don't know how to make it out without using a loader.

Re : Apache CGI problem
Hello all, Saturday, September 28, 2002, 5:49:52 AM, freebsd-questions wrote: Hello all, I finally found the cause of the problem. PHP 4.2.3. I commented the LoadModule and AddModule clauses in httpd.conf and bam!, all CGIs and Perls work as healthy as they can be. Solved a problem only to bring up another. I installed the latest PHP from the ports about a week ago and did not noticed the problem (I used the scripts sparingly since I have to concentrate on something else) until two nights ago. 4.2.2 AFAIK, worked correctly. I did not suspect PHP to be the cause because everything PHP is working right, cookie management, DB through phpma, phpBB et al. I used php.ini-recommended edition from my windows edition since 4.2.0, that since about two months ago, on my FreeBSD box and I had noticed no glaring exception to any application I run on Apache with 4.2.0, .1, .2 ...until 4.2.3.

Can someone verify whether my case is an anomaly or something previously undocumented? An update to the situation and a rather weird situation. I commented the LoadModule php4 line and start the server and the CGIs would work well but the PHP as predicted did not BUT if I edited httpd.conf to uncomment the PHP module while the server is running and subsequently do a RESTART through apachectl restart, both PHP and CGIs worked! Amazing. However if I do a full stop and subsequently start the server, only the PHP would go while the CGIs kept returning Invalid Server Error. The same old situation. I thought it would the order of the module loaded that is causing the mishap, so I replaced PHP LoadModule clause at the very last line of the list but still, no go. So right now, if I were to get the both CGI AND PHP running, I would have to comment the PHP LoadModule statement, start the server, uncomment it back, restart (apachectl restart) and the cylinders is all fired up. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Apache CGI problem
Hello all, Weird problem I'm having here. I can't execute any script in ScriptAlias directory. 500 Internal Server Error always came out. I'm pretty sure the scripts are all right. I ran them on shell, they executed well. Could it be that Apache lost the path? However, I did test-cgi with each script as its argument and the output showed empty answer ie: SERVER_SOFTWARE= SERVER_NAME= etc... for each run. Every arguments for test-cgi turned up blank in the script. I'm scratching my heads with these anomalies. ErrorLog shows Premature script headers in /var/www/cgi-bin/test.pl and every single other scripts. ScriptLog shows nothing wrong with the scripts. I've checked and double-checked everything, the very setup worked well a week ago. ScriptAlias points to the correct cgi-bin path. mod_cgi.so is loaded so does mod_cgi.c. I only noticed this problem when my qmailadmin program couldn't execute. I thought maybe I screwed up with its setting but turned out the whole cgi-bin files couldn't be executed. Permission is all set right, I even went as far as doing 777 on all of them. I've posted this on Apache mailing-list and couldn't get any solution. Searching the archive uncovered one case similar of mine but he too couldn't get any solution. I hope there's plenty of good people over here that can help me. Just started with Apache a month ago and all seemed breezing smoothly up until now. So I guess, this is where the fun chapter begins. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

own, then the problem has to be with your script or your config file,
as long as you have their perms set correctly.
HTH,
Thanks for your tips. As I had already mentioned before it fubar'ed, all the
scripts worked. The system has been up for a month now and it's only until two
nights ago, I couldn't get the scripts to work. I wrote quite a few Perl and
CGI progs and tested them on this very platform weeks ago and they executed
well. For some inexplicable reason, I couldn't get them to work now. I even used
my backup httpd.conf copy and still the problem persists.

Re: Apache CGI problem
Hello all, Personally, the only time I've ever seen error 500 is when either the script had syntax errors, the permissions were set incorrectly, or the script was transferred as a binary file when it should've been transferred as ASCII. If you're sure that all three of those issues don't pertain to your situation, then I'm not sure what the problem is. Did you possibly make some system changes on the day they quit working? I believe so. I did change a few ipfw rules, a make world and reworking the quotas. The scripts was done on the system itself, the permissions were right and the syntax were definitely correct. I can't log in into my qmailadmin, sqwebmail and do administrative tasks now. I'm going to reinstall apache if that's going to help in any way. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Quota problem
Hello all, I originally posted this topic under How do i know a disk is bad thread but didn't get any replies. Well I've narrowed down the problem towards disk quotas. It turns out that when I disable quotas, everything works fine. When I first setup quotas on /home, I did not place any quota on the user nor group, with the intention of placing for one later. I think I know the specific problems but I'm not that sure. 1) Does file/dir ownership of another user counts? I have a single directory with files with someone else ownership. 2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing? 3) I ran file quota.user and the output says it's a text file without line terminators but when I did less on it, all I got is a repetitive sequence of '@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all I got is a blank screen. Is this a sign of the quota.user/quota.group is corrupted? When I ran these tests, I removed userquota,groupquota from /home's fstab entry. Please help. Thanks in advance. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re[2]: Quota problem
Hello all, Thanks Matthew, it works now. I no longer have the hangup in apache and file operations. But I'm still stumped on why it happened, since I'm pretty sure I followed all the guidelines. Thanks again. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

How do I know a disk is bad?
Hello all, Recent FreeBSD here. How do I detect a bad sector on a disk. Are there any other utilities that can be used to detect such error? I've used fsck before but I supposed unless fsck comes up with a bunch or write/read errors, I can never know a disk is good. Or when fsck does come with such messages, is the disk in an inconsistent state? The reason I ask this is because recently after making world, all file operation (mv, cp etc.) from and to /home mounted at ad1s1e hung up and doing kill -KILL would not cut it. I ran fsck a few times which required quite a number of reboots just to make sure all is right. The mount point now works as usual but I still a few doubts on how, all of sudden, things went well. I would like to know how I can detect bad blocks on my disk and to interpret fsck messages. Thanks in advance. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim __ Do you Yahoo!?
