I read the same thing, and thought I'd give it a shot. On the Dell 2650 this is running on (FBSD 4.9) *seems* to keep recompiling xfree86-4-server. Is there a way to tell if it is stuck in a loop? I had to stop it yesterday after it had been upgrading for several hours. The same thing happened to me. Not sure where it was stuck but I was getting a distinct sense of deja-vu watching the output (I don't really mean deja-vu but I can't think of a better way to say it). I left it for 30 hours, and then cancelled it. I'm going to try and run it again today, I'd like to know also if it will eventually get out of the loop, i.e if it is really a loop or something different. sorry that this post doesn't really help the situation Actually the developer for portmanager contacted me about it. He asked for some logfiles, and I didn't think the list wanted a 300k zip file mass mailed so I was privately emailing him about the situation. He's looking into it and hoped to have a fix soon. He's been wonderful with response time to this error and I was glad to help with any logs or testing I could. He had hoped to have a fix in there soon, but I don't know if he found answers yet as to what caused the loop. -Bart Thanks Bart for your patience, this one required me to set up XFree86-4 on a FreeBSD 4.11 machine and back date all of the ports. So now I know that on December 1st, 2004 /usr/ports/graphics/xfree86-dri and /usr/ports/graphics/dri both existed and both report their name as dri-5.0.2,2 on that date. This caused portmanager to loop so I have duplicated the problem which means it can be fixed. I still need to move the ports forward to the current date before I have a certain fix but right now I think the quick work around will be to go into each of these directories (graphics/dri and graphics/xfree86-dri) and manually de-install them. Then let portmanager pull back in the correct one. That worked for the ports as they existed on December 1st, 2004 but I still need to verify it works for the current date. When I have a certain fix I'll post it here and cc everyone in this thread, and when I have a fix in portmanager so this won't happen again I'll cc everyone again. -Mike Did you receive the email I sent you from home last night regarding the issues I encountered?

RE: Internet sharing authentication
Greetings, I have set up a FreeBSD gateway/firewall with ipf and ipnat in the past, but I am now confronted with a new challenge. I need to setup the firewall to only allow internet (www) access to users who successfully authenticate themselves with a username/password combination. Ideally, a user will open their web browser and be confronted with a authentication popup before gaining access to browse the web. Users should be able to access mail without authentication. Please advise on what I might use to do this. Thanks, Gareth You could setup some kind of proxy server on the gateway machine, and configure all the clients to use that as their primary proxy.

Configuring X
Hi All, I am having a real problem setting up X under FreeBSD 5.3 on a Acer Travelmate 280 laptop. The laptop uses the Intel onboard i810 video controller, I know Xorg has issues with this controller from past experience, so I added the necessary line to my /etc/make.conf and proceeded to build XFree86-4. (My ports tree is updated as of yesterday afternoon) However I can't seem to find a useable mode, when I try to configure X using xf86cfg -textmode I select the appropriate values, and run the test it specifies, the test works great, I get a plain screen with nothing on it, and the mouse (touchpad in this case) is working perfectly, but the resolution is low, it looks less than 800x600 to be honest. If I try to startx at any depth setting the screen just goes black and locks up, I cant return to the console, and ctrl+alt+del does not restart X. I have to turn the machine off and back on manually, which results in the boot up sequence complaining about things not being correctly unmounted. I have used XFree86 on this laptop before, however that was using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and it worked fine. And it also works fine on my desktop machine (that to has a Intel i810 controller) Does anyone have any ideas where in my setup I am going wrong, or have a working XF86Config file for their Intel video controller.

Linksys WPC11 Wireless Card.
Hi I apologise for asking this, as I know for a fact this question has been asked before, however when searching the archives, I am finding conflicting answers. I have a Linksys WPC11 Version 4 wireless notebook adapter, and am wondering if anyone has successfully set this up using FreeBSD 5.3. I have read that Version 4 of the card uses a different chipset to previous versions and that this could cause some issues, how true is this? Also what options do I need to enable in my custom kernel, I read somewhere in the archives that I also need to disable some items in the kernel as well, could someone please elaborate?

Network Setup
Hi Everyone, Having some issues with my home network at the moment. Basically I used to have a FreeBSD gateway system, it ran various network services for my network and some remote users via the internet, smtp, httpd, ftp, pop etc etc. It was equipped with a second network card (first was going to the cable modem), which was connected to a 4 port netgear hub. Now I have changed the network setup, as I purchased a wireless broadband router. This works great, it is linked to the wired machines via a Ethernet hub, and serves 2 wireless laptops (running windows) as well. However the problem I am now having is, that users via the internet, cannot access any of my network services by using the hostname of my system. i.e. Users cant browse to codegurus.org, but they can browse to my IP address. The same is to be said for SMTP connections, pop, ftp etc. I have verified that the router is forwarding the ports to the internet by running a nmap scan on my IP address from a remote machine that I have access to. I have also verified that the hostname still points to my IP address. Here is some system information: uname -a FreeBSD codeguru.org 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #4: Wed Oct 13 21:55:19 BST 2004 :/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CODEGURUS i386 ifconfig sis0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:09:5b:69:7e:ec media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active I could understand this being a apache vhost problem, if it was simply a apache issue. But for the life of me, I am lost as to why the ports would appear open when scanned. But not accept connections via my hostname. Thanks for any help, if you need me to post some configuration files, then please just ask. Thanks again.

I was going to say that the passwords are one-way encrypted. Now, whether you could open /etc/master.passwd with vi/vim or some other editor, and use a cut and paste method for your users, I don't know if that would be successful or not.

Just wondering though, does 5.3 have the same specifications for user logins? i.e. If I copy the relevant user details over from my original master.passwd and paste into the new one, edit /etc/login.conf to match my existing one (user class and file size etc), and rebuild the database, will they still be valid?

RE: Planning a Upgrade (5.2.1 -- 5.3)
Do you know of any utilities that I can use to read through my existing /etc/master.passwd file and dump usernames and plain text passwords to a file? Or is the encryption of passwords one way?? Sorry I'm not up on these things. Mick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Donald J.

Mick Walker NAAFI Finance International Hello Mick, Are you just adding in extra drives, or are you replacing drives? If you're adding in drives, cvsuping is still a viable option. Are you going to change the partition sizes and/or locations? Well then, I guess it boils down to: do it the way you feel most comfortable with. Forget backing up passwd, master.passwd and group. 5.3 has added new users and groups, and removed some. Replacing the 5.3 files with the saved ones from 5.2.1 is asking for a disaster to happen. Every time I have cvsup'ed my source tree, and reinstalled world. I end up with every single binary file the base system has to offer. Is there any automated way I can limit the source that is compiled to the source I have on my existing system? (For future reference.) As for the above, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems to me that if you're going to install FreeBSD5.3, then you want FreeBSD 5.3. If you cvsup the FreeBSD5.3 sources and go through the world/kernel process, you're compiling only the sources that you have on your existing system as it is, after the cvsup. If you want to keep it at the sources that are on your system prior to the cvsup, there's no point in going through the world/kernel sequence. If you're asking about something different, then you need to reword your question to exactly what you want to accomplish. Don -- Donald J.

I have never used a stable branch, being relatively new to FreeBSD, so I have nothing to compare my 5.2.1 system to. (Although it seems no slower than the gentoo box next to it which has the exact same hardware).

Planning a Upgrade (5.2.1 -- 5.3)
Hi, When 5.3 is released, I am planning to upgrade from 5.2.1. I have searched google groups and found conflicting answers so I figured I would ask here. I have backed up my /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group. My /usr/home is mounted on a separate drive the the rest of the system so I should have no need to back up files. (If users wish to they can) What I want to know, is do I simply copy over the relevant files listed above, on the fresh install, with my backups, or is there some special process I have to use to restore the user database on the newly installed system? If there is a set process, could someone please give me a link to it (handbook? (I couldn't find it)).
