Which Device for LCD on Serial Port
G'Day! I am trying to set up LCDd on my 1U server, and it requires a device=[device name] line. In my dmesg, I get a listing of sio0 and sio1 (and the manual for the motherboard states that it's the second serial connector). dmesg output reveals : sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A In the /dev/ directory, there is no sio1 special file. However, the cuaa1, cuala1 and tty stuff is there. I am working with : FreeBSD azurite 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #1: Mon Feb 2 00:38:21 MST 2004 LCDd 0.4.3, LCDproc Protocol 0.3 (from the ports) So, what line do I need to use? device=/dev/sio1 obviously won't work, and I think I should be using the device=/dev/cuaa1 line because I am looking for sending data to the LCD rather than recieving from it. (though, I would like to use the built in menus to handle configuration stuff, but will settle for just a nice display).

mtxorbd and LCDd mess up server
Ladies Gents; I've got an issue that has me stumped. I'm working with an old 1U server (Tyan Thunder LE [s2510] and ServerWorks III), and in order to keep the machine from resetting on me, we entered a line : acpi_dsdt_load=YES in the loader.conf file. However, when I write to the Matrix Orbital LK162 with seemingly any process (tried both mtxorbd and LCDd), the machine exhibits the same characteristics as if I never did add the line for acpi_dsdt. So, here's the question. Is there a way to get the machine to stablize while using the LCD? Should I just not even use the LCD? Or should I find some method to get around the stupid 3rd party interface for the LCD module? [rant] I hate it when a company goes out of business and I can't get any information on hardware. The unit is an Edge Server (Storigen is the main manufacturer), if anyone has any kind of information that might be useful. On that note, I'm refering to example controller code, manuals, instructions, or even people that used to work for the company.

MySQL Port... [not]missing functions?
Hey, all. I have written an apache module, and it worked fine with MySQL 3.23 compiled from source but not in the 4.x ports (tried 4.1 and 4.0). I have found the problem when I shifted it to a new box. The old one ran 5.1, and this new one runs 5.2. I doubt the OS is the concern, but one can't be too careful. The installed packages are : mysql-client-4.0.16 Multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-4.0.16 Multithreaded SQL database (server) apache-2.0.48_1 Version 2 of the extremely popular Apache http server mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1 PHP Apache Module Now, since I've used the port, all I get when trying to start apache with the recompiled module is : Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_vmysql.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_vmysql.so: Undefined symbol mysql_real_escape_string Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I KNOW that function is supposed to be in the MySQL library, but it just isn't being found. Is there some trick that was used in the port that is not part of the standard install for MySQL?

SOLVED: Storigen ES Reboots and LCD types
Found the problem with booting the Storigen 1U servers : They are based on the Tyan Thunder S2510 (Serverworks III) motherboards, and they have DSDT tables that are not initialized properly. Adding the following line to the /boot/loader.conf file fixed it : acpi_dsdt_load=YES There is also a way to reset this in the hints file (a dsdt variable), but I have not done this. And, with the LCD questions, one of the servers had a refurbished LCD, that still had the original manufacturer's name and model number (Phew!). It is a Matrix Orbital LK162 (R200). Does anyone know how to identify and control the stupid card in between the LCD and the motherboard? I want to display data to that LCD, but the controller is not allowing me to do so.

Locating LCD Information
I recently bought a couple of network storage apps. I think I've gotten a good feel for the LCDd from the LCDProc port. I think I need to find out what kind or LCD it is before proceeding. Do you guys know of any way to locate specs for the LCD devices on network servers? It comes from a storigen device, and the LCD circuit boards all have storigen ID numbers (and storigen is out of business - go figure). Any ideas on where to look next?

Temporary ones are okay, but time based, it can't really handle. D) Last Q: IF I restart the box all the rules will be reset, and comes to default. which is reasonable. How to keep it everytime I restart? do i create a file somewhere, and i tell my rc.conf for it? what the rc.conf line should be? and file format? Create or edit the '/etc/rc.firewall'. I would only make the changes to allow a firewall type of 'file', and then make rc.conf reference a file that contains the rules. Or, you can add a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that adds the rules.

Errors on the root will still occur. Grub does that.

BSD Used on a Storigen ES device
I have a question for you experts and guru's. Have you ever used BSD on a Storigen device? I find when I try to boot the device into 5.1-RELEASE, after about 4 minutes, the device powers off and then restarts. I am getting no log messages, which means no APM interrupt is occuring. The device just shuts off. The motherboard is a Tyan Thunder LE S2510, with Serverworks III. If an older, more production-secure OS would be better, I can do that, but would rather stand on the bleeding edge. Now, the entire time, the LCD on the front is saying Storigen \n booting That leads me to believe that this device, if it does not get a specific interface call to tell it that we've booted, will reset in another attempt to boot successfuly. Anybody used on of these with BSD? Also, I'd also like to know if I can change that text, or even log to that LCD panel. A curious mind I have. Any ideas?

Re: BIND

Google turns up this page as the first hit: http://dag.wieers.com/howto/bits/bind-ddns.php It's based on RedHat Linux, but the principle is the same and it looks like it should be easy to FreeBSD-ize. It is easily done with FreeBSD. I had it set up on a home network, doing DHCP to update the DNS with the hostname of the client when activated. That way, it was easier to network test certain devices. Do a man bind (I think that's the man page, can't recall for sure, but it is there somewhere). This is assuming that you're talking about updating a BIND server that you control; if you're talking about updating something like myplace.dyndns.org, or some other similar service, you'll want to check with them to see what they recommend. That is true. If you control BIND, the world is your playground. You might also want to take a look at SQLBIND, as it is BIND after being patched to run off of a database. That could open up more options if you wish. Also my isp is roadrunner, and they say that they don't allow web services to be run on dynamic ips. Do they mean that they block the ports literally or does it just mean they frown upon it? It means they aren't going to allow dynamic DNS updates to their DNS servers. I work for an ISP, and the last thing I want to do is open up the DNS for dynamic updates. That becomes a security nightmare.

Re: Anyone using Linux-PAM on 5.x?
Hello, all; I would like to take a moment of your time. I was having some heavy frustrations on preparing a FreeBSD 5.1 server for handling centrally located accounts using OpenPAM, particularly due to my inability to locate good documentation on it. I found that the problems : Oct 5 13:04:15 sharktooth login: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_mysql.so found Oct 5 13:04:15 sharktooth login: pam_start(): failed to load module Were NOT due to the misplacement of the module. Proper permissions were in place. The concerns I had were resolved when the following individuals (many, many, many thanks to these guru's) : Kris Kennaway Mikko Työläjärvi Nick Rogness Gave me pointers, advice, and properly illustrated what the problem was. For the archives sake, I am posting the results of that hassle here. The first of the problems were based on the fact that I was trying to port pam_mysql. This was failing because the mysqlclient library wasn't being located when the pam libraries were loaded. There had to be an -R/usr/local/lib/mysql added to the compilation/linker commands. Then I ran into the errors : Oct 6 19:22:09 sharktooth login: in openpam_dispatch(): pam_mysql.c: no pam_sm_authenticate() Oct 6 19:22:09 sharktooth login: in openpam_dispatch(): pam_mysql.c: no pam_sm_setcred() The functions were defined properly, and I used a number of different methods. That's when I was pointed to the Makefile as the problem. The end result switched from using ld as the linker to libtool. There are still bugs to work out, but the module is beginning to function. Again, I offer a sincere thanks to those individuals listed above for their responses.

Re: Anyone using Linux-PAM on 5.x?
Having had some experience writing pam modules on a number of platforms, I whipped out my suite of pam test modules to have a look at this incredbible breakage you speak of. I mean, there is a specification for pam after all. I know of the specification. However, I have a customized version of the pam-mysql module that I have tried to install. In a previous post to this list about a week or two ago, I wrote about getting only the following entrys in the log file (an example of one from today) : Oct 5 13:04:15 sharktooth login: in opempam_load_module(): no pam_mysql.so found Oct 5 13:04:15 sharktooth login: pam_start(): failed to load module Now, it is there in the /usr/lib/ directory, it has the correct permissions, correct owner, etc. In the /etc/pam.d/login file, I've even put in absolute paths, and non-aboslute paths. I've copied existing module entries, changing only the module name (such as pam_unix to pam_mysql). Hmmm... odd; the modules all build and work just fine, modulo some minor tweaks mostly related to gcc 3.x, even though I have never built them on FreeBSD 5 before. Definitely no worse than when porting to certain commercial platforms. Can you at least point me to some documentation? I don't mind porting the module. I've copied the pam_unix.c module that comes with the openpam source code (dogwood release, the one in 5.x), changed references from pam_unix to pam_mysql, leaving the actual implementations in place so I make sure that I'm not messing something up, and STILL get the same log file entries, so it can't be the code in the module. What's the deal? Whatever difficulties you are experiencing, I'd say the reason is not specifically related to openpam or FreeBSD 5. Maybe if you post some details, such as source and error messages, someone will be able to help you. Regards, /Mikko Mikko [EMAIL PROTECTED] RSA Security If you want the source, give me a day or two to remove proprietary code, and I can get that back to you - however, it will look extremely similar to the existing pam_mysql module, because that was the basis for my work. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I apologize - I forgot to request an off-list answer - I'm not on the list. Can anyone reply - again - directly to me this time? In addition - I hunted around quite a bit - I can't find the pam source code, there's not a pam package installed (except for pam-mysql), and there is a library in /usr/lib called libpam.a - which contains all of the pam_*.o files, and there is no pam documentation in section 8 (got plenty of section 3, though, which is worthless in the circumstances). I am starting to get the impression that who ever set up the pam interface did it with a static mentality - I feel like I'm going to have to call it Static Pluggable Authentication Modules, and I'm sick of sPAM :).
