netif starting late after upgrade to FreeBSD 9.0 from 8
I've just upgraded in place from FreeBSD 8 to FreeBSD 9.0. The upgrade following /usr/src/UPDATING was without any problems. The only issue I have is that there seems to be a race condition for bootup scripts in which netif can start later than devices that require it, resulting in the following problems : 1. pf rules not being loaded as it can't find network interfaces defined such as lo0 2. named not starting I suspect that it may be a file was not installed/updated after mergemaster -i but, when I check /etc/rc.d/netif and pf the REQUIRES line is the same as that in /usr/src How do I troubleshoot this? I've tried to manually change REQUIRES for pf for example to LOGIN, but it doesn't have any effect. Any pointers would be much appreciated to possible solutions would be much appreciated.

mount_smbfs utf-8
mount_smbfs -E UTF-8:UTF-8 //server/path /mnt/tmp UTF-8 filenames do not show up at all on the FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE client. They show up just fine using smbclient and mounted as nfs, files also show up fine on Windows clients. Is there a limitation with smbfs in handling UTF-8 samba mounts?

Unicode Local/NFS vs Samba
Samba version is 3. If I save a filename with a unicode character say: 本 Case 1: Local/NFS This will be displayed properly in gnome-terminal, and nautilus folders, and is the same locally and exported via NFS. Case 2: Local/Samba Saving it locally will cause a Samba mount to show it differently (or ?? or nothing) and vice-versa. It looks like each is treating unicode ok but differently. Does anybody know what is different, and how I can make both to use a common way to treat unicode files? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When it cancels it also resets the scanner which shows it's communicating ok.

ipfw pipes + firewall
I've read the man pages, and tested it out, and just want to confirm that what Im doing is right and that I didn't miss anything. Disable one_pass so that packets after matching pipe rule will continue on to other rules. Without this, packets matching pipes are not not applied again against firewall rules. net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 0 I then put the pipe rules before any firewall rules so that anything going in and out (in this case) go through the pipes first. They are then matched by normal firewall rules. 00100 83 11350 pipe 1 ip from any to any out 00200 93 11266 pipe 2 ip from any to any in 00300 0 0 check-state 00400 0 0 deny tcp from any to any established 01400 103 14855 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 22 in setup keep-state ... more firewall rules which are being matched From what I can see the pipe rules are being matched. I tested bandwidth controls, and they work. And I also could not access ports which I did have a dynamic rule for (as in 01400). -- FreeBSD 5.2-BETA i386 4:56pm up 20:23, 4 users, load averages: 0.99, 0.76, 0.66 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Rule 400 souldn't apply because they are passed by 300 (this one doens't have a counter :( ). I'm following the example given by ipfw(8). Rule 0400 is apparently supposed to block any non dynamic rules. Does rule 300 have a counter? I've followed both ipfw(8) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall/rules.html Im using the example from the article for my pppoe connection at home. For rule 1400 the dst-port is wronly placed. Port are (or can be) given after the ip without any marker. I would replace 1400 with: allow tcp from any to me 22 in allow tcp from me 22 to any out No need to have dynamic rules here so place it before 300 This sounds right, it would cut down on overhead of additional dynamic rules. So making public ports rules without dynamic rules is better? Digging in the archives, Matthew Seaman said that dynamic rules should be safer, but I'm not sure if it applies for my case.

natd + ipfw2 + dynamic rules
I just tracked down, that having the line: add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 No longer works (used to work with ipfw) man page says this: According to man, packets diverted to userland and reinserted lose their attributes. The following rules work: allow icmp from any to any allow udp from any to 161.142.1.17 53 via tun0 allow udp from 161.142.1.17 53 to any via tun0 But stateful rules like below don't: add allow tcp from any to any out xmit tun0 setup add allow tcp from any to any via tun0 established add allow udp from any to 61.6.32.62 123 keep-state So, does this mean that a tcp packet goes out sets up a dynamic rule before going out via natd. But coming in.. it is diverted via natd, loses some info about state, and doesn't get passed through any rules? For the tcp dynamic rules, 10 packets get diverted by natd rule 5 packets match the tcp rule via tun0 setup 0 packets are denied by the last deny all rule. What happened to the packets that are supposed to be coming in via the setup rule? What's the proper way to do natd with ipfw2? So far, it's the only problem with my recent testing of current :(.

Anybody got this working? Tried mounting under different da devices but no go. I found some references under freebsd-stable, but advice there didn't work (they were hunches on what might work). It's supposed to be supported for linux 2.4.x kernels. Any tips on how to get it working on FreeBSD? dmesg: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: M-Sys DiskOnKey 2.01 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 650KB/s transfers da0: 7MB (15584 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 7C) da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi status == 0x0 -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Is that true?? Heh.. I thought it was a question on Enlightenment window manager. :) Lets make the definition of powerful as: What I can do with my computer and how much I can do with it. And throw away marketing words like state of the art and define it as: PC with the latest and greatest ie. 8-way Xeon, 4gigs of memory, Geforce4 and what not :). Then you have to combine both to see whether or not it can be as powerful (as in the things you want to do with it) running FreeBSD on an older Pentium II as say, a Pentium 4 running WinXP. As a server: FreeBSD will be more powerful than XP :) Why? XP has a lot of server functions taken out, whereas FreeBSD can run any server service you want (except maybe Active Directory) without any restrictions. Without a GUI (no X, no Gnome/KDE), it can also perform on lesser hardware better than one needed for Win2K. In this sense, yes FreeBSD will be more powerful (in terms of fuctionality than a Windows XP machine. For the desktop and games, like I said before, it depends on how you use it. A Pentium4 is gonna compile a heck of a lot quicker than a PII even with all the overhead of Windows. Same goes with most games and other CPU intensive programs. As a platform for development, FreeBSD comes with all the tools you need for development for FREE. Windows XP doesn't. To me FreeBSD + all the Unix/GNU development tools make it a much more powerful development computer than Windows XP. Need an IDE? Freebsd - Emacs, VIM, Anjuta etc. WinXP- Notepad? Need a compiler? FreeBSD - gcc and others. WinXP- none. Need a source control? FreeBSD-CVS WinXP- none. And so on. You can buy all the stuff for Windows, but you could upgrade the FreeBSD P-II to an 2 way SMP-P4 for all the money you pay on the licences need to get WinXP to be able to match all the powerful development tools you get with FreeBSD for free. As a person, who recently shifted from doing development on WinXP to FreeBSD, I felt that XP limited me in a lot of ways (especially financially). Whereas with FreeBSD + open source tools, it seems that anything can be done, given enough time. -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: poor 3D performance

I've got a Duron 950 with 256MB RAM and a Radeon 7500 with 32MB vmem, running 4.7-STABLE up-to-date as of a few days ago, and I can't figure out why 3D games like bzflag are running at almost unplayable frame rates. I have the drm-kmod port installed, my video card is detected properly and DRI is loading correctly... can anyone throw me some suggestions? Ran into this problem a few days ago. It seems that portupgrade of XFree86 or XFree86-libraries (using portupgrade) would overwrite the DRI specific libs installed by drm-kmod. It looks like DRI is loaded and working properly, but it's not. Check your XFree86.8.log or what XFree stays when it starts up. XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) It should also say some stuff about a DRI something after Version instead of XFree86 4.2.1 or something. What I did to get it to work, was portupgrade XFree86, then make install in /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod without using portupgrade. Also did you check the ATI Radeon specific messages with the drm-kmod? -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Samba not working properly
This is not a FreeBSD specific questions, but I'm why it doesn't work. Windows computers can see my FreeBSD box, home directories, printer and shared folders. But I can't see any windows machine at all, I get this: $findsmb Doesn't even list my own server. Yet this exists and everybody can see the freebsd server. I so have ipfw set up with nat, but internal traffic is not diverted and all smb ports are open. $ smbclient -L //mayu added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.1.2 ) error connecting to 192.168.1.2:139 (Permission denied) Error connecting to 192.168.1.2 (Permission denied) Connection to mayu failed Any help appreciated as always -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: java 1.3.1 and dual cpu

That is, can there be some threads in the JVM running on one CPU and some other threads running on the other CPU in order to make user of the full capactity of a dual pentium 3 system? It doesn't look like it on my machine: top shows a single java process with the CPU number alternating, but it's not making use of both CPUs well. Running the Java2D test, with all options turned on (texturing, anti-aliasing etc.) it's crawling and shows that the CPU still has 57% percent left. Note: I'm not familiar at all with Java on FreeBSD, so I'm running default settings without any optimisations. -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Confused about bash profiles and environment settings.
According to the man, bash loads up for an interactive shell: /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile Env gives me this as my path: PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin: /usr/X11R6/bin:/home/kaeru/bin This is in ~/.profile (~/.bash_profile doesn't have it) and ~/.bash_login is empty. However if I change ~/.profile and add some other paths to it, the new paths are not exported to my profile. So bash is getting it's path settings from somewhere else. /etc/profile is commented out. Where else is it getting my path settings from (login.conf?). I tried changing PATH in that and it doesn't affect anything. However if I cut and paste this path and put it into ~/.bash_profile certain commands don't work, and my addition of /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin finds java, but java fails to run (complaining about missing libs). On the other hand root which is using csh, if I edit .cshrc and add the java path in, everything works just as expected. I'm confused :( Anything to enlighten me would be much appreciated.

Neat Unix scene site
For those of you following the scene community (assembly etc.) this is a nice site. http://unixscene.kameli.net/ http://lnxscene.org is also a good resource for tutorials. Demos are always have a good 'Wow' factor to help attract attention. -- Khairil Yusof [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
