Re: Requesting advice on Jail technique.
Hello,
I use different jails for nearly each network service I have to privide:
httpd, smtp/pop3, squid, log collector.
It's quite difficult to build each particular jail with those programs
and corresponding libraries which will be needed in it. That is why I
made the following simple script to make a jail and to add needed
programs to it (you will have to change the absolute pathes):

vmware on freebsd 5.4
Hello World! I've tried several times to install vmware2 3 on my freebsd 5.4 box. No attempts were successfull with different errors. Especially, for vmware3 port the error was: ..404 Not Found. Why it still exists in ports collection if no sites keep it anymore? OK, I'll be glad to hear any tips for installing vmware-2.

USB mouse config, console X, micro HOWTO
I thought I would post the end results of my own struggle to get my USB trackball working as I prefer it to work, for the archives and for the benefit of anyone else struggling with this issue, although my particular configuration may be more, or less, relevant to someone else's hardware and preferences. Hardware USB trackball with left button, right button, and two small scroll buttons (one for up and one for down). It is a Logitech Marble Mouse USB (an optical trackball), and I really like the feel of it. What I wanted the mouse to do - It has only two primary buttons (buttons 1 (left) and 3 (right) and no middle button (button 2)), so I wanted to enable middle-button emulation so that when I pressed the left and right buttons simultaneously, it would be as though I had pressed a middle button (to do a paste function, for example). In addition, I wanted to use the mouse, somehow, to scroll the contents of windows when I was in the X environment (I use KDE). How I achieved my goals --- Here are the relevant exerpts from my /etc/rc.conf and /usr/X11R6/ lib/X11/XF86Config files -- --- begin excerpt, /etc/rc.conf --- moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/ums0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-p /dev/ums0 -3 -w4 --- end excerpt, /etc/rc.conf --- --- begin excerpt, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config --- Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse # Option Emulate3Buttons # Option Emulate3Timeout 50 # Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection --- end excerpt, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config --- Commentary -- In /etc/rc.conf I have the mouse port specified twice, using both 'moused_port=/dev/ums0' and the '-p /dev/ums0' option of moused, the mouse daemon. For some reason I don't understand, I had to have both of those, in order for the mouse to work as I wanted it to in the console as well as in X. In a console, the left button of my trackball selects a starting point (which can be extended by dragging), the right button when clicked defines the end of a selection, and pressing both buttons at once pastes the selection into the text entry area. The two scroll buttons don't do anything in the console. In X (in KDE, in my case), the left and right buttons each act as they are configured to do, pressing both simultaneously pastes a selection, and pressing the small left scroll button (which is button 4 of 5, the 2nd button being the virtual middle button accessed by pressing both buttons 1 and 3)--anyway, pressing the small left scroll button and then moving the mouse (the trackball in my case) up or down while the left-scroll button is kept depressed, causes the contents of a window to scroll up or down. This behavior is achieved by setting options to moused in /etc/ rc.conf. Notice that in the XF86Config file the options for emulating 3 buttons are commented out--are not active. The important options in XF86Config are the Protocol auto, Device /dev/sysmouse, and ZAxisMapping 4 5 The ZAxisMapping option was necessary in my XF86Config, even though I specified in /etc/rc.conf that the moused was to report Z-axis movement whenever it received Y-axis movement of the mouse or trackball, by using the -w4 (wheel mode) option for moused in /etc/rc.conf. The -w option with the 4 argument (specified either as -w4 or -w 4) tells the mouse daemon to substitute Z-axis movement for Y-axis movement whenever the 4th button is pressed and held down while the mouse is moved. This has no effect in the console (that I can see, other than appearing to freeze the mouse cursor while the 4th button is depressed), but in X it causes the contents of a window to scroll, IF the XF86Config file is also edited to have the line: Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 as indicated above. The -3 option for moused in /etc/rc.conf is what causes 3-button emulation to occur, which means that the moused reports that (a nonexistent) button 2 has been pressed whenever buttons 1 and 3 are pressed simultaneously. Because X gets this information from moused, it does not need to do the 3-button emulation itself, which is why those options are commented out in my XF86Config file.

I have experienced no more lost data (from hard disk corruption or problems) in the six or so months since I made the change. Dan Strick replied: The large disk option sounds like it affects the translated disk geometry used by BIOS to increase the amount of disk accessible to software that uses the BIOS for disk i/o (e.g. DOS). FreeBSD uses the BIOS disk i/o facilities only to read the disk when booting. It is highly unlikely that your file system corruption problems were related to the BIOS Large Disk Access Mode option unless you were also using a non-FreeBSD OS on the same disk and it inadvertently did disk writes through the BIOS to wrong disk locations. sd adds: I don't know whether it is pertinent, but here is a quote from a (admittedly old) technical manual published by the manufacturers of the Phoenix BIOS: -- begin quote -- BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Specification Version 1.1 May 9, 1995 Phoenix Technologies Ltd. 4.3 Geometric Translations Some applications get device geometry information simply by reading the tables which are accessed via the Int 41h/46h pointers, they fail to call Int 13h Fn 08h. These are ill-behaved applications. Ill-behaved applications fall into two categories: some of them read the Int 41h data and then use the conventional Int 13h interface for accessing the device. These are compatible ill- behaved applications. The remaining ill-behaved applications read the Int 41h/46h data and then access the drive in a proprietary manner. These are incompatible ill-behaved applications. 4.3.1 Compatible Ill-Behaved Applications Compatible ill-behaved applications require that address 0, 2, and 14 (Cylinder, Head, and Sector) information in the FDPT be identical to the information returned in Int 13h Fn 08h. This class of application normally fails to call Int 13h Fn 08h to get device geometry, but uses Int 13h Fn 02h to read data. 4.3.2 Incompatible Ill-Behaved Applications Incompatible ill-behaved applications require that address 0, 2, and 14 information have the geometry returned by ID drive data words 1, 3, and 6, a requirement that can violate restrictions placed on Standard FDPTs. Further, these incompatible ill-behaved applications may not check for the Translated FDPT signature (A0h at byte 3). Examples of incompatible ill-behaved applications are SCO Unix and early versions of Novell Netware. 4.3.3 Resolving the Compatibility Problem The BIOS can only serve one class of these ill- behaved applications each time the system boots. This presents the BIOS and the USER with a compatibility problem. Phoenix has chosen to add a Setup field which allows the user to select which ill-behaved applications will function correctly. The menu item reads Large Disk Access Mode. This field defaults to DOS, which creates a Translated FDPT. Compatible ill-behaved applications will operate correctly when DOS is selected. The remaining selection for Large Disk Access Mode is OTHER. Incompatible ill-behaved applications will function correctly with OTHER, which creates a Standard FDPT. Because this format uses only physical geometries, OTHER creates problems for the compatible ill- behaved applications by generating an illegal Standard FDPT with more than 1024 cylinders. The conventional Int 13h interface, however, continues to use a Translated FDPT, which is maintained internally by the BIOS, and is accessable only through Int 13h Fn 08h. SETUP never changes the method of translation used by the BIOS. Well behaved DOS and Windows applications continue to function normally because they only use Int 13h Fn 08h, which returns translated geometry. --- end quote --- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Phoenix BIOS, hard disk data loss
