Re: airport express disk (on router)
I was mistaken, I have the airport extreme which is currently sharing a hard disk not the airport express. (I have 2 of those as well for streaming audio, but that's not the one's I am talking about). Why is this the wrong list?. The question pertains to mounting the AP extreme disk on a freebsd server ?.

Re: need help debugging port mapping/server setup
Thanks to Doug and help from others..problem solved... With the help of tcpdump, I learned that packets from ssh were arriving at the host, however the port was being blocked by the local firewall which I configured to open. The packet forwarding from the router was working all the time.

I thought that was the case, but I created a directory in the user's home directory (as that user) and used it as the mount point and it still does not permit it (see example above: ~/ipod is owned by the user).

mounting firewire/USB storate devices
I'm a little new at this, but can some suggest what is the best way to mount firewire and usb storage devices ? I am using both my ipod and compact flash devices with freeBSD but I find that I do not have a simple setup that allows me to mount them easily without manually looking at the /dev directory to figure out which device number belongs to which device. (or using camcontrol devlist) and then editing the /dev/fstab file each time. I first used a /etc/fstab setup that looks like: /dev/da0s1 /sandiskmsdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/da1s2 /ipod msdos rw,noauto 0 0 That does work, however, the scsi device numbers change, depending on what is plugged in and what order you plugged them in and you end up having to fish around with camcontrol to figure out what number is assigned to what...Questions. (1) Is there an easier way to manage these devices. For example, if there is a way to auto mount them when they are plugged in that would be nice. Gnome 2.8 is supposed to support this, but I have not found any clear way on how to set it up. (2) More general but related question...Currently with the setup I have above, if I want to use the command mount /ipod, I have to be superuser. What permissions do I need to set so that a normal user can do the mount ? -or- what group would the user have to be in. By default users on my system are in operator and wheel groups.

I'm having a problem with my system clock. The time will be fine for a few days, then all of a sudden, I will notice that it has jumped ahead by a number of hours (usually enough to change the day to the next day). I can confirm that the time has changed on the system cloth in the BIOs setup as well. This has happened once every few days. I thought it may be a clock battery problem on the the motherboard, but I am thinking that this is not the case as the minutes are usually OK - it is just the hours/day that changes. Another idea that I had was that because I am dual booting windows (on occasion) and freeBSD, windows may be the culprit, but I verified that by rebooting windows, it is not resetting the system clock. Any ideas on what could be wrong ? I also have ntpd running, which I used as an attempt to keep the clock set correctly (in effort to find a solution to the problem), but it does not appear to be able to handle correcting the time.

cvsup newbie questions
I'm interested in upgrading to gnome 2.8 (and possibly the newer releases of other applications)...I'm running the following version of freebsd: 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 In starting to learn cvsup, I'm trying to figure out what I need. The src-all collection seems like it is more than I want to update. Freebsd seems to be working fine on my system and I don't think that I want to upgrade any kernel or OS-related programs unless any applications that I would want depend on it. So, if I am just interested in the latest fixes/version for applications running on 5.3-Release, should I just upgrade the ports collection ? There is an example supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile. Would this be the best configuration to use ? Also, when I do upgrade the ports tree, I'm assuming it will just upgrade the skeleton tree, correct ? Even if I do upgrade src-all, its not going to down load the .tar files for all the source code ?

Re: cvsup newbie questions
Thanks for the tips. For the moment, I'm leaving the OS sources alone and I'm updating the ports collection because my goal is to update gnome to version 2.8. The OS seems to be fine - although I'm sure there are additional bug fixes I can benefit from - but I'm a little scared to go through the build kernel/world thing right now - especially since everything is running nicely. (I have not had the OS crash in the 2 months since I've installed it - it has run continously -yet my linux 2.6 installation crashed regularly). I do have a few additional questions... 1) is there a test utility that I can run that will tell me which cvsup mirror server will be fastest ? I did this the manual way by pinging a few and looking at the ave times coming back. 2) If I do update (src-all) using 5.3-RELENG tag is my version still called 5.3-RELEASE ? - or is it now some new release of that (ie like 5.3.1 ?)...I guess my question is: Are all updates of 5.3-RELEASE source still called 5.3-RELEASE. 3) After my cvsup of the ports collection completes updating, is there any easy way to check which ports were updated ?

No, the ports collection is the collection of 3rd-party apps' Makefiles and patches - it just simplifies installing applications. So, yes, if you're just interested in fixes for apps, then update the ports collection. Still, I recommend updating to the latest sources for any RELEASE, as most of the time the fixes are truly important for most users, and they won't disrupt your system other than the actual building and installing (well, if it can possibly be avoided, but in this case you won't notice any difference). Also, once you have the source, then updating with src-all with your RELEASE tag will only update critical fixes, not all the sources over again. It's also possible to patch your system manually by fine-tuning the sources you want with cvsup and then just rebuilding that part, or without using cvsup at all (using patch(1)), but if you're not familiar with that, then start with updating the complete system through these steps (briefly): cvsup your source, mergemaster -p, buildworld, build kernel, install kernel, reboot into single user, installworld and mergemaster. It's a bit of a trick the first time if you're not familiar with it, but the handbook walks you through it, and it's not as scary as it might sound. Just do it exactly the way they say, and *don't skip anything*, and you should be fine. If not, you can always ask here. BTW, I personally recommend not using the -j switch when doing buildworld. The handbook warns that it's not supported, although plenty of people use it anyway and later come here with related problems, so it might save headaches if you don't mess with it until and unless you want to try it for testing. - jt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here are the entries that I have in my /etc/fstab: /dev/ad0s1 /windows/C ntfs ro 2 0 /dev/ad0s3 /windows/E msdosfs rw 0 0 (You don't need the 2, it can be 0) You need to create the directories for the mount points (/windows/C and /windows/E). The partition in /dev/ad0s3 is my FAT32 partition which is the writable one - you don't want the ntfs filesystem to be writable.if you want the FAT32 (msdosfs) parition to be writeable, then /windows/E must be a writable mount directory. You of course, should use your own device (/dev/ad0s*) names as they are going to be different from mine. Once you have these in your /etc/fstab they will automatically mount on boot (as configured this way). If you don't want to reboot after editing the file, you can always just do a : mount /windows/E To manually mount...or umount /windows/E to umount it. The configuration I have just described is how I wanted to set it up on my system, but others may have different opinions/setups.

moving ports to another file system
After installation and setting up of my BSD system for a while, I've come to realize that I probably should have organized my disk a bit differently and I have a smaller root file system then I would have liked. I may have also created a separate /usr file system, but I have /usr in the root file system. The /usr/ports can take up a lot of space and I'm wondering if there are limitations to having ports live in a another files system with a symbolic link from /usr/ports to a ports directory in another file system. -K ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks again. -K Kris Kennaway wrote: On Fri, Nov 26, 2004 at 01:53:11AM -0800, Kevin Smith wrote: I am able to mount my windows partition manually by either: mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /windows or by putting an entry in by /dev/fstab that looks like: /dev/ad0s1 /windows ntfs ro 2 2 and using command: ^^^ The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesys- tems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck(8) will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. Since you don't want to run fsck on the ntfs volume, set this to zero. If I leave this entry in my /etc/fstab, the OS reports inconsistency errors on bootup when it tries to mount and goes into single-user mode. I then had to remount / for read-write and delete the line in the fstab before it would boot again. P.S. It's usually helpful to transcribe the exact error, instead of describing vague symptoms.

sound mysteriously not working
I had followed the handbook to configure sound (sound blaser Live!) on my new 5.3 installation. It was working yesterday but it doesn't work now. Just to verify, I booted windows on the same system and the sound card/speakers are not working. Here is my dmesg output and sndstat: dmesg|fgrep pcm0 pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci2 pcm0: TriTech TR28602 AC97 Codec /home/kevin cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 at io 0xc800 irq 18 kld snd_emu10k1 (4p/2r/0v channels duplex default) Any suggestions on what to try next ? -Kevin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sound mysteriously not working
sorry, a typo... I booted windows on the same system and the sound card/speakers are not working.. meant is say sound card/speakers is working with windows.

bypass beastie press 1 to boot
Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bypass beastie press 1 to boot
I prefer that I don't have to wait for timeout - ie it just boots directly with no timeout or interaction from user. thanks, -K Eric Kjeldergaard wrote: Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key. This may seem a bit basic, but you realise that you don't have to press the '1' key, right? It'll boot up after the timeout. It's only like 10 seconds or so and the other options can be quite useful if you happen to need to boot to single user mode. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
