Re: installation sequence
I'm all over this! Here's what you do: Setup for yourself a local cvs repository like so: portinstall -Pp net/cvsup-mirror You have to make decisions about what to mirror, but in the end you will have a semi-authoritative mirror of all the source and ports for the whole dang FreeBSD development tree, that will maintain itself and be ready when you need it. Next, when ever you do a fresh install of FreeBSD whatever, the first thing you do after the install is update your source and ports try by creating a cvsupfile, (I always keep one in /usr/local/etc/cvsupfile) like this: begin cvsupfile *default host=IP.OF.YOUR.LOCAL.CVS.MIRROR *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix tag=RELENG_7 *default compress src-all src-contrib ports-all tag=. /end cvsupfile Note that the begin and /end tags are put in the email for clarity, but should NOT appear in your cvsup file. I think src-contrib is overkill, but I've not bothered to find out because I'm pretty lazy. Note, also that RELENG_7 is just what I'm using now. You should adjust to the FreeBSD whatever that you just installed. So after you put the cvsupfile in place, run this on your new install: csup -g -L2 /path/to/cvsupfile Note, again, that csup does *not* get installed with *base before like 6.3 or something ... can't remember which. Did I mention lazy? If you are going back that far you have to install csup from ports or install cvsup from ports. (Which may likely put you back at square one where you have to work through the build failures - it ain't perfect, but it's nearly there!) Anyway, the point is you should always, always, always update your ports tree after a new install so you don't have build failures to stump you. And you still might get those :) So you should consider REBUILDING WORLD immediately after you do a new install. And THEN build/install whatever ports you need ...

Java does not expose ScriptEngine
Hello, JDK 1.6 supposedly bundles rhino scripting, but this does not seem to be the case on FreeBSD 7 for java/jdk16, java/diablo-jdk16 or java/openjdk6 as each call to ScriptEngineManager.getEngineFactories() returns an empty list. when I put the script-engine jar into the classpath: (e.g. put js-engine.jar into /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/ext) java does not load the script engine as expected. On other os's (have tested Windows, and ubuntu) I can add a scriptengine simply by placing the jar in the classpath.

Instead the chooser reports no serving hosts were found I can log in using the greeter, but I'd really like to use the chooser, as I've got several machines running X, and I'm too cheap to buy extra keyboards, and too lazy to move around the office to do my work :) gdm was compiled WITHOUT IPv6 support, and I've got ipv6_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf It's gotta be something simple, 'cause I didn't spend much time setting up the chooser originally.

X not listening on 177 after upgrade to 7.3
Please help, I'm completely out of my league. I know this is mostly an Xorg question, but trying to get help from that group is ... not so easy... I've had the gdmchooser working for several months, now. But recently I updated X from 7.2 to 7.3 and X is no longer even listening on port 177: sockstat -l46 | grep 177 shows nothing I see Xorg listening on port 6000, but I seem to recall that xdm was listening on 177 before the upgrade. Or maybe it was gdm-binary, but certainly it was the default port 177, not port 6000. gdm is started by /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm and it runs the greeter just fine. But it is the chooser that I need, since I periodically need to access this machine from the local network or from remote vpn or access remote machines from this one. I'm running 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD, built from source in May, so the configuration in /etc did not change. But it appears that my /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config and /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf have been overwritten with defaults and I can't find a backup version that works. I expect that if I could get xdm to listen then I could figure out gdm, again. But I've been researching and tweeking all day and can't seem to make it work. I thought it was as simple as commenting out the last line in the default xdm-config: ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 But that does not make a difference, even after reboot.

GCC 3.4.x has broken C++ ABI compatibility with previous releases yet again and users will have to rebuild all their C++ programs with the new compiler. A new unit-at-a-time optimization mode, which is default in this compiler release, is more aggressive in removing unused static symbols. This is the likely cause of 'make buildworld' breakages with non-default CFLAGS where optimization level is set to -O2 or higher. With the upgrade of the system compiler, the kernel has been upgraded to match the new system compiler. This makes it impossible to build a new kernel with the old compiler.

Rough go moving from 5.4-RELEASE to 6.X
I'm trying to upgrade from 5.4 to ANYTHING and I'm confounded by buildworld failures that don't seem to have been reported. Please offer any guidance. First I delete everything in /usr/src (save Makefile and Makefile.inc1) then I make update to get the source current. (/etc/make.conf includes SUP* variables) then I try make buildworld from /usr/src, and the errors below occur. Next I try env -i make buildworld and I get the same errors. I've tried to cvsup an entire new source try (after wiping out /usr/src and /usr/obj) but STILL get this error. I've tried with (in /etc/cvsupfile) tag= each of RELENG_5, RELENG_5_5, RELENG_6, and several others. It even fails when I try to just get the source to RELENG_5_4. Of course the actual failure line(s) are different with each release I've tried to build. The errors listed below are from my latest try for RELENG_6 An example from last year when I tried this for rebuilding 5.4 is at http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.i386/browse_thread/thread/da9d1d558d607a09/aab6d1588bb93bc1?lnk=stq=undefined+reference+to+%60add_new_float%27rnum=1#aab6d1588bb93bc1 Even after a YEAR I cannot get this system upgraded to 6.x!

My brain is fried trying to track down a HOWTO, and the wiki is just a half millimeter left of useless. The quickest and easiest method would be to run this on your desktop *before* SSH'ing to the other machine: xhost +LOCAL: That means that any user on the same machine (technically, any user accessing your display via the local domain socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X0) can pop up windows on your X display. Because of the way SSH X- forwarding works, all the processes on your remote machine appear to the local X server as if they were running on your local desktop, so that command will work for them too. Obviously this has security implications on machines where you do not trust all of the users -- for instance it would be fairly trivial for anyone else with access to either of those machines to be able to capture all of your keyboard input including any passwords you needed to type. You need to be able to trust implicitly both your local desktop and the remote server you're logging into. You can have more fine-grained control by using xauth to copy the access tokens for your display into the .Xauthority file in another users' home directory: xauth nextract - $DISPLAY | su - otheruser -c xauth nmerge - You should only need to do that one time per $DISPLAY, but if you're doing X forwarding over SSH, you may need to do that at least once for each desktop machine you log in from, even if you get the same $DISPLAY setting each time. ssh, when doing X forwarding, does pretty much that internally to forward your credentials so commands on the remote machine can display on the desktop in front of you. Note: $DISPLAY is set automatically for you when you enable X forwarding and SSH in. You may need to quietly eliminate misguided attempts to set $DISPLAY in the shell startup scripts of otheruser --- it should inherit the value from your environment if you become that user by su(1) or sudo(1). See xauth(1) for more information about what you can do with it -- quite a lot more really. Cheers, Matthew Matthew, Thanks for the details on $DISPLAY and all of the other information. This certainly opens up a number of possibilities in remote system use and/or management. Unfortunately it does not provide me the ability to get the console from qemu ... which is very odd, I think. There was one instant yesterday after Chris recommended the use of su -m when my konsole was presented with an ASCII representation of the Windows loading screen. But I cannot seem to repeat the event.

xorg on a headless, mouseless, keyboardless box

There are probably some switches that I can use in qemu that I may discover over the next 12 hours, but an understanding of how X can help might actually save me some time. I've used this ssh -X that you mention. This works fine for userland programs, but in order to troubleshoot my particular issue I'd need to be logged in as root. When I try to su remotely to run the command I get: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Sounds like that may be your problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org/ msg06918.html. So you could try commenting out the mouse and keyboard references, just to see what happens.. Another solution that you may want to look into as an alternative to using xdm is X11 forwarding via SSH. -Garrett Garrett, Thanks for responding. No, it's an SMP kernel which includes GENERIC. Do you mean commenting out references to mouse and keyboard in /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC? Like these: device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse That seems a little extreme - recompiling the kernel to get X to work? I'll certainly do it if the technique is endorsed by anyone ... but I'm not so much ready to see what happens, as the server is thirty miles away behind a locked door, and I may not like what happens, at all :) Yeah, the ssh -X trick works great for userland stuff. But I haven't yet fingered out how to run a gui process on the remote as root and get by the authentication issues. Do you have any experience with that? Thanks, again.

Route spagetti
Hello, I have a routing problem ... I think. I have an established OpenVPN hosted on FreeBSD 6.1 using tun0 configured for 10.11.13.x. The OpenVPN configuration currently uses the client-to-client directive so that vpn Windows clients could access a separate central proprietary (Windows) database (also on the vpn). Response time and security have prompted me to investigate the use of qemu, hosted on FreeBSD, to house the proprietary database. I configured the qemu Windows image on my development machine and configured it to use tap0 10.11.12.150-10.11.12.151. The Windows side of the interface is 10.11.12.151 and FreeBSD keeps 10.11.12.150. I have used netmask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.252 with no discernible change in behaviour (which I'm getting to). Everything worked correctly in development - I could establish a Terminal Services session with the Windows client and do whatever I needed to do, including access the internet from the qemu-hosted session. However when I pushed the image out to the vpn server, I found something odd: When logged into the remote qemu-hosted Windows session via Terminal services, I can ping any interface on the vpn host (10.11.12.150, 10.11.13.1, and defaultrouter). I can also ping any client connected to the vpn tun device (10.11.13.X). However I cannot route from the Windows session to the public internet. Typically there is a tight firewall in place on the vpn host, but I have disabled the firewall rules and stil been unable to access the public internet from within the qemu-hosted session, while I *am* able to access the internet from a shell on the vpn host. Is this necessarily a job for natd? Or is there some simpler way to get 10.11.12.150 to forward 10.11.13.x packets to tun0 and all others to the defaultrouter on the host machine? I'm looking at ipfw add forward ... but it does not look promising. Thanks for your time.

Zach using FreeBSD 4.2 and sendmail 8.x (maybe). _ __ IIRC, sendmail has three controlling values in /etc/rc.conf: sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_enable=NO and sendmail_enable=NONE The third value, NONE, causes the boot process to ignore any attempt to start sendmail. The second value, NO, causes the boot process to start sendmail for local delivery, only (i.e. do NOT accept inbound connections from external hosts).

There are many tweaks that you can use in /etc/rc.conf - (refer to /etc/defaults/rc.conf) - that will allow various flavors of sendmail usage. See also, /etc/rc.sendmail. In your case sendmail_enable=NO should allow the local system to send periodic information to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or whatever alias you use in /etc/mail/aliases, while disallowing external hosts from sending email by way of the local host.

Re: how do I see security logs without turning on sendmail?
Tuareg,
I can't find the name of the quy who straightened me out on the fuction of
squid, but kudo's to him.
Clearly squid is not the culprit.
But I've done some eyeballing on /usr/sbin/periodic, and I think maybe it is
the culprit.
First lets have a look at your /etc/crontab file. Specifically we are
interested in the lines which contain the term periodic
If these lines include parameters, which are passed to /usr/sbin/periodic,
then they may be the reason for your periodic emails being sent WITHOUT
sendmail being enabled by the normal boot process.
Take a look at /usr/sbin/periodic. Note that it uses values
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf as well as any override variables
in /etc/rc.conf. It could also be overridden in other ways such as by
defining the value source_periodic_confs_defined and periodic_conf_files
but this should have already showed up in /etc/rc.conf.
While you are examining /usr/sbin/periodic, look for the term output
In my copy of that script there is a comment that looks like:
#Where's our output going?
Then there is a case block:
case $output in
/*) pipe=cat $output;;
) pipe=cat;;
*) pipe=mail -s '$host ${arg##*/} run output' $output;;
esac
If your predecessor had modified this script or, perhaps overridden it
using /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then he may have either changed the *)
default case, or supplied parameters from /etc/crontab
(or /etc/defaults/periodic.conf) which could invoke sendmail directly. If he
used override variables, then he would probably also have added a case for )
pipe=sendmail -arg1 arg2 argn
This would account for sendmail being completely disabled in /etc/rc.conf AND
for the messages being sent out via sendmail. However, as I read it, the
behaviour you have reported would only occur if /usr/sbin/periodic was
actually modified, as the use of the $output variables does NOT seem to
allow for invocation of sendmail directly. And I don't believe that mail
can force invocation of sendmail (although I may be wrong, as the man page
does imply that mail will use any means available to get the message out).
If this is the case (i.e. if mail is invoking sendmail directly) you could
check it by trying to send mail from the command line on one of the servers
that actually does what you want it to do. If it works, and if there are NO
modifications to /usr/sbin/periodic or override defaults
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then it will be safe to assume that
this feature has been properly quashed in 6.x. You would then need to
follow the procedures for setting up sendmail for outgoing-only, as many have
already recommended.
In any case, the behaviour you desire would only work properly by making the
appropriate changes to /etc/mail/hostname|freebsd.mc, (i.e. SMART_HOST
and/or HUB settings), and then running make install in /etc/mail. (And this
is always going to be the case where sendmail is concerned)
I hope this information leads you to a resolution, as it has been a great
learning experience for me ... but my brain hurts :)

Uh -- why upgrade to a branch (5.x) that has already had it's last release and is worse performing than both 4.x and 6.x? You should really be looking at upgrading to 6.2-RELEASE just as soon as it comes out (Real Soon Now). As for risk -- for various reasons you will be better off doing a clean install of 6.x and rebuilding your server from the ground up. It's no more risky than installing any other server -- unless you have some legacy binary-only application that you absolutely have to run, it is virtually certain to succeed. You biggest problem would seem to be the downtime required to do the update -- if you can manage it, probably the least consumer impact method is building the upgraded system on fresh disks on a scratch box, and then finishing the upgrade by a disk-swap. Which also has the added benefit that you have a ready-made back out path. Cheers, Matthew Matthew, I agree with your advice to build the new server with a clean install, if only to prevent any sendmail issues. But I'm not so sure I understand your assessment that 5.x is worse performing than both 4.x and 6.x. While I agree that 6.x is a great improvement in functionality over 5.x, I was not aware of the poor performance record of 5.x. Do you know of any links to benchmark tests, or other data, which would provide some more background on this? That kind of data would greatly influence my opinion in this discussion. Without it I'd be pleased to recommend 5.X, regardless of it's pending drop dead date, wrt support. I certainly see no need to chain myself to any software release cycle, nor, it seems, does the original poster.

On 6.x and 5.x I see that these are possible candidates: /usr/X11R6/include/gnome-vfs-2.0/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs.h /usr/include/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/include/sys/statvfs.h /usr/local/include/af_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/compat/svr4/svr4_statvfs.h /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/src/sys/nfs4client/nfs4_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/sys/statvfs.h But you'd have to compare the functions and structures defined in sys/vfs.h on linux to determine which is your best match up. There is /usr/ports/devel/mipsel-linux-kernel-headers/ which, according to pkg-plist will install mipsel-linux/include/linux/vfs.h. That may be exactly what you need (although it may be overkill). Or it may be the LAST thing you need :) Sometimes a porter will simply create a patch file in /usr/ports/portname/files that will create a skeleton version of the file which includes only the items you need. I've done this for development on my own system. As far as the NGROUP or other macros ... yikes! You may have to recreate that functionality entirely. I ran this: #!/bin/sh for each in `locate .h | grep '\.h$'` do if [ -f $each ]; then MYF=`cat $each | grep -i ngroups` if [ x$MYF != x ]; then echo $each : $MYF fi MYF= fi done It could probably be done more easily with sed and some elbow grease, but it does show NGROUPS defined here: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xos.h : #define NGROUPS 16 and /usr/include/sys/param.h among other places.

Sorry to butt in ... butt
You came from linux, no?
The reason to put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead of /etc/rc.d is because
everyting in /etc is managed by the OS. Everything in /usr/local is managed
by you.
This is not of particular concern if you intend to just play with the OS and
never commit to it ... let alone upgrade it, or use it in a production
environment. If you don't intend to use it in a production environment then
put anything you want into /etc.
But if you plan to use the OS the way it was intended, then you will
understand how an upgrade, and mergemaster, will take days instead of hours,
because you've monkeyed with stuff in /etc
Pretend it's Windows. Now ask yourself, do I really need to put this file
into C:\Windows\System32? Clearly the answer is ... WHAT ARE YOU DOING
COMPARING THIS TO WINDOWS
But, clearly, I digress :)

Zach using FreeBSD 4.2 and sendmail 8.x (maybe). ___ IIRC, sendmail has three controlling values in /etc/rc.conf: sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_enable=NO and sendmail_enable=NONE The third value, NONE, causes the boot process to ignore any attempt to start sendmail. The second value, NO, causes the boot process to start sendmail for local delivery, only (i.e. do NOT accept inbound connections from external hosts). The first value, YES, causes the boot process to start sendmail for outgoing and incoming SMTP connections. There are many tweaks that you can use in /etc/rc.conf - (refer to /etc/defaults/rc.conf) - that will allow various flavors of sendmail usage. See also, /etc/rc.sendmail. In your case sendmail_enable=NO should allow the local system to send periodic information to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or whatever alias you use in /etc/mail/aliases, while disallowing external hosts from sending email by way of the local host. Note that this requires that you pay heed to /etc/mail/Makefile and associated README documentation in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail and below.

Wasp,
Check out /usr/ports/security/portsentry to reject portscan attempts. By
default it uses /etc/hosts.deny, which is deprecated. But you can configure
it to run a command (KILL_ROUTE in portsentry.conf) to do just about
anything you want.
My KILL_ROUTE command is a perl script that sends syslog entries
to /var/log/auth.log, which are intercepted by /usr/ports/security/sshit to
only temporarily block an offending ip using ipfw. It also sends an email
notification at the time of the attempt, so I can be sure to keep an eye on
the trouble-maker.
BTW: I think to completely block ping/traceroute you would add an ipfw rule
like:
ipfw add drop icmp from any to any in via $eternal_nic
But that may introduce complications I'm unaware of ...

Re: Suggested Books Guides on small bisiness LAN with FreeBSD
On Wednesday 29 November 2006 14:52, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys, I'm looking for advice or suggestions on how to [re]design a small business network with FreeBSD. I know that's a pretty broad topic -- I'm not looking for a simple answer, so much as reference materials. Background: for over 5 years we've had our business running with a few FreeBSD servers. An external Internet connected box serves smtp, imap, http, ftp, dns (external and LAN internal) and http-proxy. Another server (on LAN behind NAT router) has Samba file print services, lpd and some other things. I guess what I'm looking for is best practice suggestions for configuring all this optimally. Problems we have currently include DNS -- if the Internet connection goes down, the server chokes, and we can't even get internal DNS. And security issues, eg: should the email accounts reside on an Internet-exposed server? O'Reilly sells Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit which sounds like some of what I'm looking for, except that it's for Linux -- but I've dabbled with that kludge enough to probably apply the concepts to FreeBSD ;) Any other suggestions on good books, web sites, etc? -Wayne B. Wayne, If you've been using FreeBSD in production for five years, you are probably well beyond any O'Reilley offering, imho. We can all benefit by (yet) another look at man topic, and that's probably gonna be your most productive resource, since it will allow you to address your specific issues without having to read any ol' dumbed-down version of the documentation :) As for DNS issues, my thought is that if your external DNS server works then leave it alone and implement a separate internal DNS server to handle your internal traffic. Just start with the same configuration you have on external and tweak it as needed. It doesn't have to be authoritative. Also you are likely also running DHCP, which I'd recommend you move from your external DNS server to the new internal DNS server (if that is your current setup). Usually 2 cents, but free for you! lane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe l2tpd is failing after initialization? Do you see l2tp debug

Try this:

does it show up? Does anything show up?
Can you run it manually? If not then it might be that l2tp is silently

That worked, but caused problems for the local network in one location. The particular user couldn't understand why sometimes his computer got different IP addresses.

If I understand correctly, you want this machine to be able to connect to multiple heterogenous networks, and always get the same last byte for its ip. The only way to do that reliably, in my mind, is to have each dhcp server on each network assign a static address based upon the MAC address of your computer. If you do not have access to the DHCP server configuration on a particular network then you must manually configure the nic. Assuming that you know the universe of networks that you will connect to ... say 3 or 300 possible networks ... then you could write a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to test various network configs ... but you might be better off just manually configuring the nic and moving on, as you cannot guarantee that the terminal byte of the ip will be available on any given network. IP just doesn't work that way. I'd be interested in any solution you may scare up, as I am faced with a similar situation. My solution is to just use static assignment, with an identifiable NETBIOS name in Samba.

Problem compiling kernel under FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE
Hello, I am attempting to recompile my kernel, so I made a modified version of the GENERIC kernel configuration (included below), and attempted a recompile. I've tried both the Old and New compilation methods mentioned in the handbook. Both of them die, telling me that they have an undefined reference to several items that appear to be defined in files in the /usr/src/sys/netgraph directory (exact info below). I tried the experiment of building the unmodified GENERIC kernel configuration, which works, so I must have fouled something up in my configuration file, but I have no idea what. I'm hoping one of you experts out there might just know what I did from looking at it. ;) My system is an old, but not ancient IBM Thinkpad laptop with a Pentium 4. I didn't build it myself, so I'm not exactly certain what all the hardware in it is, but it has a built-in CD/DVD-ROM drive, two mouse-substitutes, built-in ethernet, serial, parallel, USB, and PS/2 ports, a built-in sound-card of some sort, and a PCMCIA wireless ethernet card which sadly is incompatible at the moment. I believe the graphics card is some flavor of ATI Radeon, though I don't know an immediate way to check that without resorting to Micro$#!+. Any help is appreciated.

Re: packet loss to firewall while Internet link is down
On Saturday 28 October 2006 17:41, D G Teed wrote: Hi all, When the Internet link goes down, ssh refuses to allow connection from within the LAN to our BSD firewall/gateway. An existing ssh connection might stay up, but be very sluggish. We run our own DNS, so that can't be the reason for timeouts. When the Internet is down, the CPU load factor on the FreeBSD firewall is low, but the number of TCP packets that can't get past the first hop is likely high, which might cause some sort of congestion on the machine. The console is very responsive. mtr to any point on the local LAN from the firewall sees 50 to 80% packet loss. However, there is no packet loss between other machines on the lan and our network guy says the router port and cable check out fine. There are no console error messages providing a clue. netstat -m shows the mb_map is about 26% in use while the Internet is down. The machine in question is FreeBSD 4.11, running ipfw and acting as a gateway (not NAT). Once the Internet comes back up, ssh in works, and ssh sessions are very responsive again. Is there some kernel variable I can tweak, or some tests I can try the next time the Internet goes down and the gateway/firewall drop packets on connections to our LAN?

When I can't get in via ssh (i.e. when the public internet connection is down) the web server, samba server, DHCP server, DNS server, ftp server, and everything else still responds normally.

You can check the ability of server A to resolve an address by doing: nslookup www.yahoo.com If the first line says: Server: server a name Address:127.0.0.1 on the first two lines, then that means that Server A is doing its own lookups, and probably using the contents of /etc/resolv.conf for stuff it doesn't know locally. Still on server A you can check the ability of server B to resolve an address by doing: nslookup www.yahoo.com server-b-address And the top two lines will be the Server name and address of server B if server B knows how to do dns resolution. You'd have to log into server b to cat /etc/resolv.conf, probably. If you are on a Windows box you can use the nslookup address server a|b syntax to verify their abilities as well.

Just for verification I have recently used cvsup to download the entire FreeBSD-3.4 system, including ports (That's right, 3.4).

Wireless setup FreeBSD-6.1 and fwe0
Hi! I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 which is configured to dual boot into Windows XP-Pro. I just got this laptop today, but I've been using Freebsd since 3.4, or earlier. When I boot into Windows I am able to access my Linksys wireless router. There is another secured wireless network nearby, and that may make a difference if you read between the lines at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html My problem is that I can't get the wireless network to function in Freebsd. Here's ifconfig -a bfe0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::215:c5ff:feb8:39e%bfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 172.16.1.42 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 ether 00:15:c5:b8:03:9e media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active fwe0: flags=108902BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::304f:c0ff:fe9c:7541%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 32:4f:c0:9c:75:41 ch 1 dma -1 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 I've googled a similar issue here: http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/browse_frm/thread/d68ec8e94a4d45f9/c513bc5b1afe7517?lnk=stq=fwe0+needsgiantrnum=3#c513bc5b1afe7517 But didn't get a resolution. The google post refers to ugen and to ural, but that looks more like an argument between different posters, rather than an answer to the original question. I have NOT modified /boot/loader.conf, but I have tried the instructions in the handbook using kldload .. to no avail dmesg has a peculiar entry: fwe0: if_start running deferred for Giant the rest of it follows. The clue, I think, is that in ifconfig fwe0 NEEDSGIANT and in dmesg, if_start is deferred for Giant. Who is this giant? How do I slay him? Based upon the google post, I am suspicious that fwe0 may not, in fact, be the actual interface. But again, that post is suspect.

libphp4.so not installed from /usr/ports/lang/php4 and mod_php4 is gone??!!
Hi, I'm trying to install mod_php on an existing apache13 server. The original config documentation requires that this entry be added to httpd.conf: LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so libphp4.so was previously built by /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 (iirc) but that port has apparently been merged into /usr/ports/lang/php4 So I compiled the port with -DAPACHE=yes and I got the pkg-message.mod message telling me to add AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps to httpd.conf However, libphp4.so was not created, nor was it installed. Nor is there any mention of libphp4.so in pkg-plist (or anywhere, as far as I can tell). So ... now the question How do I get mod_php working again?

But that does not install libphp4.so. libphp4.so is not created, or if it is created it has a name OTHER than libphp4.so. After taking the steps you describe, I expect that I should get something in a directory listing such as: ls -al /usr/local/libexec/apache | grep php However nothing is listed Nor is anything listed when I do: ls -al /usr/local/libexec/apache | grep Oct 14 Apparently no new modules where added today.

Does anyone run VNC with 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64)?
G'day everyone, I recently had to replace a disk and took the opportunity to upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable. I also changed from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version. I have a dual Opteron server. VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine. The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. So in what sense does it fail If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen. Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't. 130~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9 IceWM: using /home/xx/.icewm for private configuration files X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 10 131~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Value in failed request: 0x21 Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 49 If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in the vnc log file. I was only running them interactively above to troubleshoot it. Google has failed me for once, so I seek your experience and advice...

I have had some success running the i386 package of tightvnc and starting only twm from the xstartup script. Some applications (just about anything using gtk) crash the VNC server, and some (KDE) work all right. YMMV. I have tried to make NXWindows work on amd64 but there is just too much patching that needs to be done for my meager skills. Thanks for the info. I had figured something like this. I installed the 64-bit system anticipating a future memory upgrade from the current 4GB to 8GB. However, VNC is essential for various members of my group, as is ports/devel/root (which doesn't compile on amd64) and there is some of our own (also essential) custom software which is not 64-bit clean. Since this holds up a number of people from their work and my patching skills are VERY meager, I will have to roll back to the 32-bit OS. Thanks again! Greg P.S. Yes, I should have tested more before the upgrade. I did some tests, but obviously not enough! In my defence, I was hastened by the disk dying and the need to get the machine back up and running. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
