For people interested in audio/video telephony, I'd also suggest
baresip, which you can find at

http://www.creytiv.com/pub/

version 0.2.0 works almost with no effort on FreeBSD, does not need
a ton of libraries, and supports a variety of input and output
methods (for video input, it can talk to webcamd, or an internal
x11 grabber, or any file that ffmpeg can read).

a skeleton for a port of version 0.2.0 is attached

Hello Luigi.

I wrote to the webmaster at bsdstats.org about the countrystats that

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for your answer.

I wrote to the webmaster of bsdstats.org too. But I've received no 
answer too. Maybe It's take a long time or they have a lot of work. I 
wait for answer. I've suscribe to the statslist but I received news one 
or two times.


These informations are very important for me because I want to verify if 
there are other users of BSD as me in Belgium. I'm sure that they are 
users but I don't know how many.

Kris Moore a écrit :


Luigi,

Normally you can't just "look-up" the password, however you can reset 
it if you like. To reset, use this procedure:


1. Boot the system
2. At the splash loader screen, choose option "4" single user mode
3. When it drops you to a boot prompt, hit enter, then type in:
   # mount -o rw /
4. Next enter the password change command:
   # passwd
5. Change your password, and then type:
   # exit

That should be it!

Don't mind - since you don't want to use PAE.
There are a bunch of devices, namely network cards, who will
cease to work properly on a SMP PAE kernel.
Get a AMD64 motherboard or limit the amount of PCI cards to the
absolute minimum; depending on how many/what cards you have installed,
they allocate more or less memory out of the possible 4 GB PCI mem-space.

Cooling seems to be the point - 36 hours without reboots. Previously
you burn your fingers on the heat-sink, now it has surface temperature

As I havn't put any effort in that field; can you recommend a way of

As I started to fill up the volume, I experienced random crashes -
always while doing high-speed transfers over gigabit ethernet between

problem or not.

Due to the slow CPU and software encryption, the maximum speed is somewhat
limited (raw speed is somewhat around 600 MB/s):

transfer data - FTP maxes out around 27 MB/s. I also tried that on
i386 32-bit and found it to be 8 MB/s and 17 MB/s - not good, but
nothing to worry.

What made me feel really uncomfortable was the fact, that just some
minutes ago some 3000 1GB files suddenly disappeared while working
in a directory. They where gone, but the filesystem did not report
some additional 3TB to be free and after unmounting and remounting the
filesystem the files were back where the belonged...

This just happened some minutes later again, now with only 2500 files
dis- and -reappearing again.

Questions until now:

1. 10TB as a single volume, too big for good? (fsck time: 30 min with 
softupdates)
2. GELI unstable on big disks and/or AMD64?
3. Why is Samba so slow?
4. Does the crypto-framwork gain speed advantages from dual-core CPUs?
5. Will the GPT-stuff change over the next releases in a way I need to
do DUMP/RESTORE?

Thanks for your patience...

Best regards,

 Solon Lutz

i put the line
/usr/local/bin/915resolution 58 1280 1024

in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/00setvideo.sh
so it gets called automatically at startup

in order to get the higher resolutions, you should
probably install the port

/usr/ports/sysutils/915resolution

which redefines the bios modes.
In my case (Dell Latitude X1) i run it as

#--- set 1280 resolution on video
/usr/local/bin/915resolution 5c 1280 768

you should probably change the 768 to 800 if that's your
screen height.

no, the weights mean exactly what i wrote above, and they
are weights not priorities. As to the values to use,
that's entirely up to you.

Re: Latency problem with traffic shaping (ipfw/dummynet)

2004-03-20 Thread Luigi Rizzo
cannot comment on the reason for the huge delay (but one
way to check what is going on is to change the pipe's bandwidth
and see if anything changes), but i see a big
misunderstanding on weights vs. priorities in your
configuration:

> # Define our upload pipe
> ${fwcmd} pipe 1 config bw 480Kbit/s
> # Define a high-priority queue
> ${fwcmd} queue 1 config pipe 1 weight 100
> # Define a medium-high-priority queue
> ${fwcmd} queue 2 config pipe 1 weight 99
> # Define a medium-low-priority queue
> ${fwcmd} queue 3 config pipe 1 weight 98
> # Define a low-priority queue
> ${fwcmd} queue 4 config pipe 1 weight 97

the above configuration means that if queue 1 is getting a bandwidth
X, then queue 2 will get 0.99X, queue 3 will get 0.98X, queue
4 will get 0.97X. Hardly matching any reasonable definition of high-mid-low
priority!

'bw tun0' means that the pipe will transmit a new packet when
the device's (tun0 in this case) transmit queue becomes empty.

In any case the question is irrelevant here because tun0's queue
is drained by the userland process reading from /dev/tun0
and writing onto the output link. With a serial line and no
buffering you could hope that this matches the outbound
bandwidth, but with pppoe on adsl you basically see the
ethernet speed on transmission.

DHCP and ancontrol!

2003-12-02 Thread Luigi Iannone
Hi,
I have an Compaq laptop (2100ca model), I've installed FreeBSD 4.9!
I'm starting to play with my Cisco Aironet 350 Series!
I Know that DCHP and an work not so fine at bootstrap since the interface
is not able to get the address. Not a problem I made a script!
But each time that a to a change with ancontrol the interface doesn't work
anymore. Each time I have to kill the dhclient and to restart it!
But the worst think is that if a want to set an0 in this way

ancontrol -i an0 -M 1

to enable monitor of 802.11, the DHCP stops work, even if I kill the
process and restart it.
Is this related to BPF Any known bug? Or just me?
Thanks

supported USB-compact flash readers ?

2002-10-19 Thread Luigi Rizzo
Maybe this should go to -usb, but we don't have such a mailing list,
so i am asking here.

What are the options for USB compact flash card readers under FreeBSD ?
I know that the Sandisk SDDR-31 works (just tried one), unfortunately
it has been discontinued and several online stores list it as out
of stock, so it is not a viable alternative, and i would really like
to see if we can expand the list of supported devices so one does
not have to shop blindly.

I have a Sandisk SDDR-75 which is listed as 'working with linux'
if you do a google search. Unfer FreeBSD 4.6.2, it is recognised
by umass, but when you try to do anything on it you get BBB timeouts
and all sorts of misbehaviours.

Any better experience ?

cheers
