Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
As others have said, you can run VirtualBox without X. The command line tools provided by VirtualBox are pretty comprehensive and straight-forward. To add to that, there's also phpVirtualBox: https://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/ that provides a nice web interface to managing your VMs, though it appears the project is on pause right now. I actually have a few semi-production servers running under VirtualBox on a Linux host, as I found far better disk performance there for FreeBSD guests than under KVM. Hopefully that changes soon, if it hasn't already.

I would like some seasoned advice from others on the following before proceeding: 1. As I understand it you can install Virtual Box from the ports collection. But then I see the instructions in the Handbook: To launch VirtualBox, type from a Xorg session: % VirtualBox So am I to assume the only way to run Virtual Box is to have Xorg installed and running on the FreeBSD server? Which is a drag because my current FreeBSD servers are exactly that, servers, and do not have the fancy video cards, monitors, etc.. to run Xorg. Is there an alternative to running the interface from Xorg. I'm a command line fanatic when it comes to servers. Or would I be able to install Xvnc or something like that and run it from one of my Windows 7 machines which has all the fancy video capabilities? 2. Once installed, I will be able to install something like Fedora or openSUSE? These will only be installed as server so I can run databases like MySQL in the Linux environment. The client I'm working for insists on using SUSE...no FreeBSD allowed. They think it's poison and are very biased on this so there's no talking them out of it. I need to gain experience using these databases on Linux, not FreeBSD. 3. I'm going to buy a 1 TB SATA drive for this setup. It will be running on an AMD64 server with FreeBSD 9.x or whatever is the latest release as of this weekend. 4. There is also a Plan 'B' to go the other way. Since I already have two i7 machines running Windows 7, perhaps it might be better to install the Windows version of Virtual Box or even VMWare and create my instances of Linux on one or even both of these machines. Any advice would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

utx.log doesn't update for Samba unmounts
Hello, I'm running 9.1-PRERELEASE (built Aug 1) with Samba 3.6 from ports. I've noticed that the last command's output shows still logged in for all previous smb connections since the last shutdown. However, smbstatus seems accurate, showing only a handful of users connected. For instance, right now, 'last' shows 500 users still logged in, when it's really only a few. I discovered this via a Nagios alert that I had a couple hundred users logged in. The last time I had active SMB/CIFS users was in May of this year, and I don't recall this happening then (judging from Nagios), but that was 9.0-RELEASE. Can anyone reproduce this or does anyone have any ideas?

Is there any working 3D shooter in the ports collection my 8 year old son could enjoy? How about OpenArena? I'm currently playing it with pals via Internet. Okay, not at this moment, as I'm writing this message, obviously... :-) This is some multiuser game, isn't it? I was looking for something one could play alone, like Doom or Hexen. You actually have a series of levels to play against computer enemies (AI), but it's not that it contains a story like DooM or Quake. I have some WADs from the old DOS CDs and from BBSes. Try to load them with lsdldoom or prboom (I've tried both in the past). First make sure all your 3D stuff runs fine. Install xlockmore and test it with: % xlock -nolock -mode lament % xlock -nolock -mode fire Works fine? Yes, it does. In fact, I use xlock as my screensaver all the time. Very good, so there will be _no_ problem related to 3D, which often is the main issue for those games. Next consideration: Games in ports collection that run out of the box (even though I still have 8.2-STABLE/x86 here) include DooM 3 and Quake 4. If I wanted a linux game, I would use the linux notebook. I am very reluctant in install half-a-penguin on my FreeBSD box just to play a game. I also had to apply some tweaks to get those games running, it's at least not trivial. I've also tried RTCW, but except a grey fullscreen I get nothing. Music plays, I can move the mouse and listen to the main menu choices clicking, but I don't see anything. For older DooM ports, I've successfully been playing DooM, DooM II and Heretic using lsdldoom port on a 300 MHz P2. Note lsdldoom also supports OpenGL graphics. Which port is it? make search key=lsdldoom finds nothing. Oh, it's doomlegacy. I could also play Quake, Quake 2 from ports, and Jedi Knight II via wine. Oh, is there really nothing native? No, that game is far too old, but Quake and Quake 2 have ports (to native FreeBSD) which work very nicely with the original files from the DOS version. Still it was playable more than 5 years ago, so even considering the ongoing disimprovement, it should run today. :-) Maybe even other older DOS shooters (Duke Nukem 3D, Chasm, Shadow Warrior, Dark Forces, Blood and so on) could be easily run using a VM or emulator? -- Josh Tolbert h...@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.

Re: Installer program for FreeBSD-9.0?
in the category of really rare edge cases, and I'm ok with making those people jump through hoops to get FreeBSD running on their classic pentium if it makes life easier for people attempting to do realistic things. I'm a huge proponent of not mixing and matching hardware and software generations. FreeBSD 2.1.5 ran well enough on our 386's that we used them as nameservers for thousands of users at my ISP. FreeBSD 9 works great on my dual Nehalem. I probably would be as unhappy with FreeBSD 2.x on my dual Nehalem as I would be with FreeBSD 9 on a 386oh, right, it won't even install in either case, let alone run. We are very aware that there are people doing CLI installs. Remote serial port, etc, etc, etc, and we are not going to go down a road that raises the barrier to entry very high for them. I think sysinstall proves you can set the bar pretty high though, and people will figure out a way to make it work. (Try and install FreeBSD to a RAID-Z for example, or use glabel, or install to GELI) At the end of the day, pc-sysinstall needs a plain text config file that you can write by hand. (It's very well documented) So all this front end talk is really about what's the best way to build a config file.

Western Digital has come out with a SATA hard drive of 3 TB. Tom Sure. FreeBSD supports installing to and booting from GPT labeled disks that don't suffer from the 2TB size limitation that fdisk imposes. The caveat is that very few systems have a BIOS that can boot from a GPT labeled drive. So regardless of your OS, you may still have issues. It's worth noting that RAID arrays have been larger than 2 TB for years, and the way RAID cards have gotten around the issue is to carve off a chunk of the array and present it to the OS as a small boot LUN. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
ssh interactive session, through intermediate hosts ... problems ...
I connect to some systems via a series of ssh jumps - something like: # ssh u...@host Password: host~/ # ssh u...@host2 Password: host2~/ # ssh u...@host3 Password: host3~/ # (do some work) This is working well for me and does what I want it to. However, there are some things I'd like to do that are not working well for me... First, where on the ssh client command line (see above) can I specify a more liberal timeout value ? Since my interactive session has three or more layers of host between it, the whole thing falls apart if even one link slows down a bit... how can I make my ssh sessions more tolerant to timeouts ? Alternatively, since I control all of these systems, is there a global FreeBSD setting (sysctl ?) that would do this ? Second, how can I construct this session with just a single command ?

It has to wait. It's easily verified by creating a simple script:
#!/bin/sh
echo My args were: $*
sleep 1
Then:

main should be:
int main(int argc, char **argv)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
As is, you're defining int as char argv[] (e.g. char *) instead of char **.
What will likely happen is you'll get a segmentation fault when you
try to run the program, since your printf format spec has %s, but
you're passing it a char.
In fact, if you compile it with -Wall, you'll see the two problems
I've mentioned:
t.c:13: warning: second argument of 'main' should be 'char **'
t.c: In function 'main':
t.c:20: warning: format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 2 has
type 'int'
Change char argv[] to char *argv[] or char **argv and it should work properly.
Note also that your main should have an int return type and should
return a value.

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/gpac-libgpac.
I ran into this, too. Since I didn't want OpenGL support anyway, I
just added OPTIONS support to this port, and one of those options is
to disable OpenGL support and submitted this as a PR.
The PR hasn't fully posted yet, but here's the URL for when it's in the system:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131681
The patch is here if you're interested:
http://pflog.net/~floyd/gpac-libgpac.patch
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gpac-libgpac
patch /path/to/gpac-libgpac.patch
Then just make config and unselect the option for OPENGL, and it should build.
The port should have OpenGL as a dependency if OpenGL support is
enabled - as it is now, it's building with GL support if it finds
GL/gl.h and libGL.so, but it should be listed explicitly as a
dependency in the Makefile. I'll work on another patch for that.
As for getting it to build as-is, I think it'd be sufficient to add
-I${LOCALBASE}/include to --extra-cflags and -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to
--extra-ldflags, but I'm not sure this is the proper way to do that
(I'd have to check the porter's handbook). It does in fact build
properly by adding those, though so just update those lines in the
Makefile to:
--extra-cflags=${CFLAGS} ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} -fPIC
-I${LOCALBASE}/include \
--extra-ldflags=${LDFLAGS} ${PTHREAD_LIBS} -L${LOCALBASE}/lib \

Now, is there a way to teach portmaster to build or rebuild

like:
What I do is the following via make.conf, which will work for
portmaster/portupgrade or manual builds:
# set MAKE_ARGS for the build target(s)
.if !(make(*install) || make(package))
MAKE_ARGS+=-j8

Then as you find ports that don't build properly, add an entry like this:
# some ports don't like -j8, so we can undo the MAKE_ARGS addition for those
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
MAKE_ARGS:=${MAKE_ARGS:C/-j8//}
.endif
It's a bit of a hack, but I've had decent success with this. Enough
ports fail to build with -jX, that I'd never do the above on a
production machine, especially since it's possible for some sort of
silent error that produces an unpredictable binary. But for my home

However, in the testing I've done, it has worked with all the tests I've put it through. You can verify the inode size with: tune2fs -l /dev/ad4s1 | grep Inode size It is likely 256 (the new e2fsprogs default), in which case you will not be able to see or use the mount without a fix.

Re: Mounting ext3fs partition
Hi josh, Exactly, it is 256. So according to you, I can't use the mounted filesystem, right? Could you please explain in more detail, what the problem is? Thanks in advance. I believe around e2fsprogs version 1.40.5 or so, they changed the default inode size from 128 to 256. The current ext2fs driver in FreeBSD has a hard-coded inode size defined: #define EXT2_INODE_SIZE128 I have a patch that dynamically determines this size, but I do not yet have a good enough understanding of the ext2/3 spec to decide if the changes I made are sufficient to fix the problem or if there is some risk of breakage because the extra 128 is required for some metadata of some sort. What happened in your case is something I was afraid of and what prompted me to look into a fix in the first place - namely, newer Linux distributions or even file systems created by e2fsprogs from ports in FreeBSD will be unusable with the current ext2fs driver, since it assumes a size of 128. There is some more information here regarding the patch and its current status: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2008-11/msg00421.html I (or even better, someone more knowledgeable about file systems) need to read through the ext2/3 spec and determine if the changes I've made cause any breakage.

Re: Xeon Quad Core (Was: Server Freezing Solid)
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0 the regular i386 release. I would prefer to keep it that way if migration to the 64bit release would mean rebuilding from scratch (there is probably an easier way to convert an i386 release to a amd64 release). Another poster seemed to indicate that the i386 release would run just fine on a quad core chip. Yes, i386 will run just fine on a 64-bit Xeon. And no, there isn't an easier (well, one could argue it's easy, but tedious) way to convert to an amd64 release. Would there be a major performance gain with amd64 over that of the i386 build on a Xeon Quad Core? It depends entirely on your workload. Some things benefit, others may actually slow down. One example that seems to benefit in general is multimedia type applications (e.g. media encoding/decoding/transcoding).

Re: More RAM for buffers?
inactive, cache, and buffer are all different types of buffer. That is my understanding as well. I'm fairly sure that inactive is memory used by program code. When the program terminates, the memory is marked as inactive, which means the next time the program starts the code can simply be moved back to active and the program need not be reloaded from disk. I think non-program code can also be inactive. For example, top memory output before: Mem: 337M Active, 1455M Inact, 407M Wired, 352K Cache, 214M Buf, 1745M Free and after: find /usr/src -type f -print0 | xargs -0 cat /dev/null 21 Mem: 348M Active, 1905M Inact, 402M Wired, 912K Cache, 214M Buf, 1288M Free I am also not sure exactly what constitutes each of these. I only know what the top man page says. And for Buf it says: Buf: number of pages used for BIO-level disk caching I'm not entirely sure what BIO-level disk caching is, but it is apparently NOT the caching of filesystem data.

In that situation I assume I can only use amd64 ports and software. I have an idea though, would it be possible to build a i386 FreeBSD on an another partition. And use it to run i386 software while using the amd64 FreeBSD? I tried something similar using an i386 chroot, but wine failed to run (SIGABRT). If you need these i386-only ports/software, you should probably just run the i386 version of FreeBSD. Do you have a compelling reason for using the amd64 release (e.g. 4GB of RAM)?

OK, not simple, but it'll be an interesting experiment. I tried this a while ago with a chroot. I installed 7.0-RELEASE/i386 there, and built ports inside the chroot.

Sendmail, Postfix, etc) is and what the best log analysis tool for that SMTP program is. We are currently using Symantec Mail Security for our outgoing SMTP Gateway but want to employ an open-source solution instead. My problem is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and if so why. I've heard of and read about a few different programs like SMA and Anteater and pflogstats, but I don't know if these will have the functionality I need to allow admins to search logs for a specific date/time and/or specific phrase/address on a web based interface. I appreciate any help, advice in making this decision.

Re: F7: base system reinstall, no (open)ssh anymore...
Am I missing some essential settings in /etc/make.conf? What is needed there in order to get (Open)SSH from the base system? Thanks! Rob. It should be there by default. Check that /etc/make.conf (or /etc/src.conf) does not set/define: WITHOUT_OPENSSH There are other knobs that implicitly set this as well, so check for these, too: WITHOUT_CRYPT WITHOUT_OPENSSL If any of those are set, it will not build the ssh components.

Re: Questions about healthd and mprime
OK, so _now_ I've looked around and found out that a lot of folks these days heat up their CPUs by running the mprime thingy. Swell. But I don't know diddly poo about this program. So can somebody please tell me the set of best command line options for the thing if your only goal is to stress your CPU? Thanks in advance. If you just want to heat up your CPU, this should suffice: yes /dev/null Once for each CPU/core. mprime is useful to stress test the cores, looking for a situation where the core fails. This can cause odd system problems, and not necessarily a crash or lock up. But in terms of just heating the cores up, yes should do the trick.

On the system I'm most interested in at the moment, which has only _one_ athlon64 _single core_ processor in the whole system, k8temp -n prints this: 19 10 Well it may not work properly on your particular hardware. You can report this to the maintainer and/or file a PR. You can also try one of: /usr/ports/sysutils/mbmon /usr/ports/sysutils/consolehm (and use chm -I from this) I was hoping to find something that didn't touch disk (nor use up all of my remaining space in the /usr partition). I think I'll wait and try to learn more about mprime. But thanks. Then what is wrong with my suggestion of yes /dev/null? It does not touch the disk at all (other than to read the yes binary into memory). It will sufficiently generate a load on the CPU to increase the temperature. You might get the CPU 1-2C hotter with mprime, but I doubt 1 C is going to make or break you. Also, if you are running the amd64 release, the mprime port does not work for the amd64 arch. I've been able to compile it manually, but the port will not work on the amd64 arch.

Re: undocumented tar --unlink switch

You are running the GENERIC kernel then, and while the processors are visible, it's only using one since you are not running with SMP support. You can build the SMP kernel (basically, GENERIC + options needed for SMP) by doing the following: cd /usr/src make kernel KERNCONF=SMP Then reboot, and it should pick up the newly installed kernel with SMP support. Note that this backs up your old kernel to /boot/kernel.old, so if the new one fails to boot, at the beastie menu, you can boot with the old kernel if necessary.

Re: Too Much Context Switching? - FIXED
I will, probably as part of upgrading to 7.0 (which I may accelerate, given this point). I'm just ecstatic at the difference I'm already seeing, and specifically wanted to make note of it in the archives. Point very much taken, though. :-) It's trivial to change to libthr, as pointed out earlier in this thread. You simply add an entry/entries to /etc/libmap.conf (see man libmap.conf for details) and then restart whatever it is that is currently running against libkse. I'll second Kris' recommendation to move to libthr. I saw a drastic improvement in MySQL and ffmpeg performance on 6.2 when I switched from libkse to libthr. Certainly 7.0 would give it to you automatically, but there's no reason not to use libmap to use it now, as an interim solution.

Re: CPU temp's on core 2 duo, should they be significantly different?
I've noticed that cpu.0 is consistently hotter than cpu.1, even on an unloaded machine. Is that because that core's doing housekeeping work whilst the other is truly idle? dev.cpu.0.temperature: 44 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 29 I notice some differences on my quad-core (Q6600) CPU, too: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 35 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 34 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 27 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 30 The differences also stay around the same when I yes /dev/null 4 times to load up each core: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 47 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 45 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 38 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 42 The discrepancy isn't as much as in your case, though. 15 C is pretty significant. It could be that either your heat spreader or heat sink are concave or convex causing one of the cores to get hotter. On my dual-core box, here are the idle temps: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 33 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 31 and under load: dev.cpu.0.temperature: 48 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 46 I'd recommend taking the heat sink off and seeing how the thermal grease is spread on the CPU's head spreader and on the heatsink itself. If it looks lopsided or extremely thick on one side of the CPU package or extremely thin (to the point where you can still see the sheen of the heatsink or heat spreader), then re-mount the heatsink and try to make sure it's evenly distributing the pressure down on the CPU package.

Re: CPU temp's on core 2 duo, should they be significantly different?
Not sure if the core duos work the same as older 2 CPU and 4 CPU motherboards, but there are some BIOS functions that always use the first CPU. So you never get true SMP because the hardware uses the first CPU more to service interrupts. True, but interrupt handling and minimal background processing should not cause a core to be 15 C hotter. I guess the original poster can mention the load on both cores (or post a top snapshot) so we can see if there is some load on the system.

Re: mrtg peak on reboot / snmp-issue?
Sorry the blackberry is truncating your original mail, but yes I have noticed the same thing on my setup. In my case I am using a custom rrdtool perl script. While not a fix for the actual problem, my workaround has been to use a CDEF in my rrdgraph command to set the value to 0 if it exceeds a sane maximum. I'm not sure off hand if mrtg has a similar capability but you might be able to set a max value for the graph so at least it won't skew the graph and hide the rest of the data points. Another option is to use a custom script to collect the values by grabbing the data from snmp and then sanitizing them prior to outputting to the value.

Re: Make buildworld
I did some testing, at least for me, I get the most improvements when the number of cores or processors equals the -j number. You can make it higher, even double it, withoout hurting things, but 95% of the improvements come from matching the number of processes to the number of available CPUs (and that' by my own testing, not theory). I've found that on my Q6600 (quad core) system, the optimal is 8 though the improvements after 5 were minimal. It depends if the jobs are I/O bound or not and the scheduler. Although even with ffmpeg, the optimal number of threads with this quad core system is 8. On my previous system with a dual-core chip with the same hardware, the magic number was 4 (again, 2x the number of cores). This was with the ULE scheduler, I'm not sure if the same holds true for the 4BSD scheduler or not. And as you said, it's important to use make without -j if the build fails before reporting bugs, since there are no guarantees that world will build properly with multiple jobs.

Re: Cross compiling i386 packages on amd64

Hi all,
I have an i386 jail running on an amd64 host that I use to build

This includes xorg (dri won't build) and mplayer. In all cases I get an
error messages similar to this:

Any ideas how I can fix this?
There are some tricks you can play. Notably, you need to trick auto*
tools into thinking it's an i386 system. I think setting UNAME_m=i386
does the trick there:
uname -a
FreeBSD pflog.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Feb 26
01:20:52 EST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PFLOG amd64

01:20:52 EST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PFLOG i386
I believe there is something else I'm forgetting that you need to do
to make compilation happy for some ports, but I can't recall them at
the moment.
Of course, things that expect to talk to an i386 kernel aren't going
to work, and you may have issues with things that use hand-written
ASM.
Try setting UNAME_m though and see if it helps. It might also be wise
to set ARCH=i386 and/or TARGET_ARCH=i386 in /etc/ports.conf.

PF appears to ignore packets or at leaaast sees them differently than tcpdump
I'm trying to make use of ssh using tun devices. So I have box A with a tun0 10.3.10.1/30 creating a tunnel to box B which has a tun10 10.3.10.230 sshd listens on port 2020 on box A. From box B, ssh 10.3.10.1 -p 2020 works as expected. Here's my problem. I'd like to ssh in to box A from box C, in this case sitting on 76.17.219.196. So I set up the following PF rules on box B... rdr on em0 proto tcp from any to $me port 2020 - 10.3.10.1 port 2020 pass in route-to tun10 proto tcp from any to 10.3.10.1 port 2020 Now, from box C, ssh $me -p 2020 times out, and the reason why is box A sees the traffic coming from 76.17.219.196 and replies out it's default route. No big deal, I should be able to fix that with route-to rules. So box A gets... pass out on em0 route-to tun0 proto tcp from any to any port 2020 Ideally this rule would be more specific, but I've been getting looser and looser with it trying to see why it won't match. # tcpdump -i em0 port 2020 listening on em0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 21:44:19.408264 IP 10.3.10.1.xinupageserver c-76-17-219-196.hsd1.mn.comcast.net.49242: S 349765613:349765613(0) ack 97403528 win 65535 mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,nop,nop,timestamp 7877043 175504784,sackOK,eol 21:44:22.408191 IP 10.3.10.1.xinupageserver c-76-17-219-196.hsd1.mn.comcast.net.49242: S 349765613:349765613(0) ack 97403528 win 65535 mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,nop,nop,timestamp 7880043 175504784,sackOK,eol I thought maybe the state table was involved... # pfctl -s state no output Why are packets going out em0 and ignoring my route-to rule?

This runs in a VMWare esx server, but that's not really important. FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE em0 = lan (10.0.0.x) em2 = WAN1 (y.y.y.y) (dhcp) em3 = WAN2 (x.x.x.x) (static /28 subnet) the default gateway is on nic2. nic3 will need to forward ip:port's to various vlans. nic2 is used for all outbound lan traffic (internet). nic2 will need to failover to nic3 eventually, and nic3 will have to failover to nic2 (for outbound, obviously no choice for inbound). So here's the problem. I can't even get nic2 or nic3 to respond to a ping request from outside my network when pf is enabled. I know the interfaces are set up correct, as I can ping the default gateways of both interfaces. Also, outbound NAT works perfectly on wan1.

Also, what did you do with em1? :) -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: make.conf CPUTYPE Xeon Conroe?

I'm wondering what I should set CPUTYPE to in my /etc/make.conf. The file /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has this information: # (Intel CPUs)core2 core nocona pentium4m pentium4 prescott # pentium3m pentium3 pentium-m pentium2 # pentiumpro pentium-mmx pentium i486 i386 I guess those are the possibilities. Which one should I choose for my processor? Also, by accident, I had CPUTYPE=p4 in my make.conf when I compiled world, kernel, and ports. p4 is a flag from older FreeBSD distributions I think. Will this (this meaning both that p4 may be unrecognized and/or it's not my processor type) cause any problems, or should I recompile everything with the correct CPUTYPE flag? Installing world is a hassle because it's not easy for me to do it from single user mode. Thanks. - Nerius As a general rule, setting a CPUTYPE is something you should try to avoid...there's all sorts of breakage it can cause for very little gain. If you're heart is set on it though, your CPU is a core2. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
usb4bsd vs. stock ucom/umodem drivers and pantech px-500
So in 6.3-RELEASE-p1 both amd64 and i386 I am getting 25K/sec off my sprint EVDO pcmcia card. This is an order of magnitude drop vs. 6.2-R and 7.0-RC1 7.0 had a habit of panicing after a few minutes of heavy transfer, so I ended up downgrading to 6.3-R. In a search for a solution I gave usb4bsd a try and am back to normal speeds (250K/sec) I'm not sure there is a question here, more just something for other people to google. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: accessing a jailed samba server
I am having dramas with samba in a 6.3 jail Basically the part that is not working, is I cant ping/resolve the netbios name of the samba box from any windows machine. There is a linux samba box here, and I tried the same config as that, and no go. Baiscally if I try and ping it from a windows box, I get this: ping bytecart Ping request could not find host bytecart. Please check the name and try again. Nothing in nbtstat -c relating to the samba box. The weird thing is that I can see the samba box in windows explorer in the network places. Clicking on it obvious says 'network path not found' or such. I can manually map the network drive by going \\1.2.3.4\username though. Also, this seems odd (from netstat -an): udp4 0 0 192.168.94.9.138*.* udp4 0 0 192.168.94.9.137*.* udp4 0 0 192.168.94.9.138*.* udp4 0 0 192.168.94.9.137*.* So yeah, any ideas?
