Please read the following thread to see some solutions for implementing PPPoE in FreeBSD. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04514.html For what you can see in this thread: "...that task is simply a matter of two or three #ifdefs for each BSD flavor, but nobody seems volunteering to accomplish it." I'm just a FreeBSD user not a programmer or hacker, so I can only help FreeBSD community asking you to try to implement PPPoE in FreeBSD so everyone uses it.

Re: Post about BSD's alleged demise on /.
The person who posted this on /. is nothing more than a troll... The same bunch of trolls that repeat that *BSD is dying (or dead) about once every couple of months... It's not true, it's just there to see how much panic can be caused. FreeBSD is NOT dying, and will be around for many years to come. Peter At 11:55 AM 7/10/2003 +0200, you wrote: Hi I saw this post on /. today, under the announcement about a FreeBSD 5.1 review. Is there much truth is this? How many FreeBSD servers are out there? And is there number declining? I really hope that BSD will be arround for a long time to come... Kind regards Guy http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=70502&cid=6404771 It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead. Fact: *BSD is dead ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Anything below this line, is considered a signature line.

Re: restoresymtable
Quick search on google, brought up the following: If you use the "-r" option to the restore command, it will create this file. This is a "checkpoint" file, which the restore command uses when you are restoring from multiple tapes. For example, suppose you had a level 0 (full) dump tape from a week ago and a level 1 (incremental) dump tape from yesterday and you need to restore the entire disk. You would run the "restore -r" command on the full dump tape first, and then on the incremental dump tape to pick up the latest changes. The restore command with the -r option assumes that additional restores may be coming and so creates that restoresymtable file as an aid to help the next restore command determine which directories or files need updating, creating, or deleting. The restore "-x" option does not create this file, because it assumes no further restores are coming. After you are finished restoring your disk, you SHOULD remove the restoresymtable file. You do not want this file to appear on your next dump backup. If a dump with that file is used for a future restore operation, the old restoresymtable file could end up overwriting the one that is being created at that time. Peter At 11:02 PM 7/9/2003 +0200, you wrote: Inspecting the /usr directory I came across a >10MB file called "restoresymtable" Anybody got some idea where this came from? Can I safely delete it?

Re: de0 recognized but not configurable
How old is this system? I remember a few years ago, there was a problem with NIC's on IRQ9... I don't remember the exact details but we had a customers NIC on IRQ9, and they complained constantly about the lag. When we finally discovered that the card was on IRQ9, we went into the systems BIOS and changed it to IRQ10. After a reboot the speed increased drastically. Newer hardware shouldn't have that problem, but you might want to try changing the BIOS setting for that IRQ.

However, the de0 card is not configurable in this system, although the ed0 device is: ifconfig de0 a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.248 ifconfig: interface de0 does not exist I presume the "device_probe_and_attach: de0 attach returned 6" has something to do with this; my archive search didn't find anything, however. The irqs appear to be allocated as follows: irq1 atkbd0 irq3 sio1 irq4 sio0 irq5ed0 irq6fdc0 irq9de0 irq11 bt0 irq15 pci0 On the (other) system where the device is configurable successfully, the graphics card is at 9 and the de device is at 15.

Re: Apache+mod_ssl
Thanks Mark, Along with a private response from Raphaël Marmier, who told me that I should run: apachectl startssl (instead of the apachectl start I normally run), I discovered that there was an httpsdctl program in the same directory as apachectl. After generating my key(s) and certificates (I signed them myself), I ran httpsdctl start and httpsd started... A quick ps ax | grep 'http' showed both httpd and httpsd running... I quickly checked to make sure my current web pages still worked, and they did. Then I went to /usr/local/etc/apache and modified the httpsd.conf file accordingly... Restarted httpsd and put in a quick and dirty index.html file (all it says is this is a secure page), into the directory (that I defined in httpsd.conf). Then went to my browser, and typed in: https://www.myserver.com Instead of getting the index.html page I got, I got a page not found. So I went to look at the log files... Nothing... The log files for https are empty, (nothing in error.log or access.log). So I went to the original log files and checked them... Nothing. I'm not getting any error messages, and httpsd is running. but the web pages aren't coming up either... BTW: httpsdctl configtest shows that the httpsd.conf file is okay. If anyone has any more insight into this, I would much appreciate it. Thanks again, Peter At 09:06 AM 5/28/2003 -0700, you wrote: I seem to recall that installing (a)apache13+mod_ssl alongside (b)apache13 caused some messed up situation where the (a) filenames are different (eg. the httpd binary is named apache and the httpd.conf file is named apache.conf) apparently to avoid overwriting (b) files. I highly recommend removing apache13 if installing apache13+mod_ssl. To merge configurations, I often turn to a X app called xxdiff, which let's you do the httpd.conf merge interactively.

Apache+mod_ssl
This might seem like a stupid question, but here goes... I have Apache 1.3 running on my system. It's running fine and has been for several years. I find that I'm in need of also have a secure https session (as well as my regular web sites). So I set out to learn about Apache13+mod_ssl. There are tons of documents available, and they are all very good. Only problem is that none (that I can find) tell you how to integrate any of the new settings. I first went to /usr/ports/www/apache13+mod_ssl and did a make && make install && make clean. Everything worked fine, no errors at all. New httpds.conf file was created. My question is how do I integrate it to my current httpd.conf file? Or do I have to uninstall the original apache13 first and then re-install apache13+mod_ssl ? If I do that, will I lose my current httpd.conf settings? Peter ------ Peter Elsner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vice President Of Customer Service (And System Administrator) 1835 S.

So I replaced the memory stick, and the problem went away for about 2 weeks, and started again. I upgraded to the latest release of Apache (at that time 1.3.26), and the problem went away completely... Haven't seen it since. So perhaps an upgrade is in order.

Re: problem on 1TB filesystem RAID 5 3ware
I've been using the 3Ware cards for 2 years on FreeBSD... We had a drive go south a few weeks ago, and the 3dmd (3Ware daemon) reported the problem to me. I had a local hardware tech go out and replace the drive, boot up the system, and then over the net, I rebuilt the array. It was back up and running after about 20 minutes. I did contact 3Ware tech support when this first happened, to make sure that I was following the steps of rebuilding the array correctly. They responded within 24 hours, and told me yes, I was doing this correctly. And I did mention to them it was FreeBSD. At no time, did they ever mention that they didn't support FreeBSD. And that 3Ware daemon works great... Have it running on all of my systems all over the country.

I consider the 3Ware cards to be essentially unsupported on FreeBSD.

Apache install problem...
Here's something I've never seen before... I am helping a friend update his system from 4.3 to 4.7. Using cvsup, all that went fine. He is now at 4.7-RELEASE-p7. Then I wanted to update his Apache. He was running 1.3.19 so I did a make deinstall && make clean first, then did cvsup on the ports. When that was done, I went back to do a make && make install && make clean on the Apache 1.3.27 port. This is what I get chmod: .html: No such file or directory chmod: /usr/local/share/doc/apache/XoomSite/Dreaming: No such file or directory chmod: In: No such file or directory chmod: Stereo.mid: No such file or directory xargs: unterminated quote *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13/work/apache_1.3.27. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13/work/apache_1.3.27. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13. I then searched the lists for xargs: unterminated quote and found a few people back in 2002 that had similar problems. No solutions were posted. There was one person who responded that there was a bug in the code for 1.3.26, but he patched it. Since this is 1.3.27, it shouldn't have that bug. I have also updated many systems the same way, and this is the first time it failed. Any ideas from anyone?

Re: why BIND and sendmail installed by default?
To my knowledge, the default install does not install either BIND or SENDMAIL anymore. You have to select those options during the CUSTOM install process. Unless you are using the QUICK INSTALL method. Of course, the QUICK INSTALL is geared to get you started with the basics, so if you don't want them, then start doing custom installs.
