I want make a new community of FreeBSD for my country, i think i must serve a domain like you tell me. I admire your enthusiasm but you have to do your homework before you post again. Understand this: Your community is independent from the FreeBSD project it will have no direct connection with FreeBSD.org except for the fact that they just ___might___ list you in the usergroups and mailing list pages, probably once you have demonstrated that your community deserves it. You will have to set-up you own mailing list server (I suggest mailman), and people will subscribe to that list with their own e-mails just like you did to this list. You will not have a mail account with freebsd.org unless you become a long-term and proven collaborator of the project, and even then it's unlikely that you will get such a mail or even need one, and really it's not the goal of the great majority of collaborators in any Open Source project. From your questions I think you have a lot to read before attempting to form a community. Community building is from the ground-up, it's not like you put a server on the Internet and it happens magically overnight and you become famous. On the contrary, it will be a very hard and usually not appreciated by anyone, nor it will gain you any recognition in the short term. I suggest that before you do anything, just attempt to contact the other FreeBSD users in your community and have a face-to-face meeting to discuss the formation of the Iranian BSD community. Maybe in your university or other universities and institutes you can gain enough mass and interest. Contact the person that owns freebsd.ir and ask him what his plans are with the domain. If you are able to round up these people in person I'm sure that within those meetings you will find many of the answers to your questions. if i serve a domain, second step what is it? i want have a email account with freebsd.org like users in this page http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html That is just a list of the mailing lists in languages other than English, but each one is maintained independently from the FreeBSD project. what should i do? I thankful if you guide me. Contact every FreeBSD user you can find and have a meeting in person. Discuss with them your ideas and be prepared for a lot of hard work. Contact the people at IRNIC (nic.ir I copied their info below), I am sure that people in their IT department will guide you with this. Their Web site uses Apache 2.2.3 on CentOS, so they are probably familiar with Open Source and may direct you to other Open Source communities which will most probably help you and guide you in making your FBSD community there. Using a simple google search I found that on February 3rd, 2010 Abbas Farahmand posted on the FreeBSD forums about translating to Persian, he will surely be of help and will most likely support your cause: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=65925#post65925 Here is the info of your local NIC domain: nic.ir ascii: nic.ir remarks:(Domain Holder) Dot-IR (.ir) ccTLD Registry, Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) remarks:(Domain Holder Address) Shahid Bahonar (Niavaran) Sq., Tehran, Tehran, IR org:Dot-IR (.ir) ccTLD Registry, Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) e-mail: i...@nic.ir address:Shahid Bahonar (Niavaran) Sq., Tehran, Tehran, IR phone: +98 21 2229 0306 fax-no: +98 21 2229 5700 source: IRNIC # Filtered nic-hdl:as51-irnic person: Alireza Saleh e-mail: alir...@mini.nic.ir source: IRNIC # Filtered ___ 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

This means that: a) You have to talk to postmaster and convince them that there is a very real need for another mailing list. b) You have to come up with a 'charter' for the mailing list: a short blurb that describes what the list topic will be, who is allowed to post there, etc. c) Once you get approval from postmaster, your list will be created and you can go on using it. I am not sure what you mean by serve a domain. Do you already have a web site or other community-related place where people can join and talk about FreeBSD-related material? If yes, what is the name of the web site? Can you briefly describe the community itself?

Thanks [upgrading installed ports: time to do it ?]
Hello ! Thanks alll of you for taking time to answer my mail. I really appreciate it. I have (well...the system has) succesfully done the upgrade. I used both pkg_updating and portupdate-scan to scan UPDATING [pkg_updating did not show an entry suggesting to update python to version 2.6 (which Portupdate-scan did)]. AS UPDATING suggests, I made the switch from python 2.5 to python 2.6 (using portupgrade). Then I did a mass upgrade... portupgrade -ab --batch ... It took 6h30 upgrading 40 ports (not many ports because I installed this system only few months ago). [Now I should find where the backup packages have been sent] Thanks again and see you here ! d p.s.

Re: ZFS - no thanks!
Hi Wojciech, let me start with pointing out that ZFS is still an experimental feature. Secondly, this is the wrong list, because ZFS is a feature of FreeBSD-CURRENT. Adding freebsd-current to CC, maybe one of the ZFS developers can give their $0.02. On 11/08/07, Wojciech Puchar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: just ended testing. after having all my data (test system fortunately) on ZFS including root, i lost /boot partition, which was on pendrive to make testing easier. well - no problem - i've started my normal 6.2 syste, got bootonly CD, removed mfsroot, added (as on ZFS system) vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:tank/root, put tu pendrive, bsdlabel -B etc.. If I understand you correctly you tried to use ZFS with FreeBSD 6.2. Won't work. on the other hand it's faster over UFS on small files but not that faster. it uses HUGE amount of RAM. ZFS probably isn't for Joe average user. No offense ment with this, but ZFS does has a nice set of features, but not many are needed for every days work. At least if you're on a workstation. it's set copies=n is a joke. you have no warranty where are the copies (often on the same disk). Yes, because copies=n isn't there to protect against an entire disk failing. It protects data against block failures. So if an individual block on the disk wents bad, as it's most often the case when a disk starts to die, you have some more backups with the correct checksum. zpool scrub DOES NOT move copies to other disk from the same when other is made available!! No, because it's not dedicated to do this. AFAIK zfs does this automagically every time you attach a disk and add it to a certain zpool. scrubbing is in cases where disk faults have been found. It means that the ZFS compares the data and it's checksum, thus locating any trouble and fixes it. raidz can't be expanded cache flushing CAN NOT be disable for selected device, only for everything. my USB-IDE converter make doesn't allow it, but my 2.5 does! i use USB-IDE converted with disk as a backup. with ZFS it's impossible unless i will turn off flushing for everything - losing it's important adventage. disks based pool (no mirror/raidz) won't start AT ALL with one element unattached!!! EVEN if everything has copies1 !!! I don't know your setup but for me it works fine. I'm currently at the Chaos Communication Camp, next to me is an AthlonXP powered with FreeBSD-CURRENT installed. 3x400GB HDD using ZFS, giving 732GB net capacity. 2GB RAM. We had a few issues with the hardware. One of the disks is unstable, leading to crashes eventually. I started the system without the disk, I changed the disks position, moved them from a PCI Controller to the onboard controller and stuff. ZFS came up fine. I'm really impressed with ZFS and it's features. The system is pretty busy, we've 15 users max with 1MBit/sec allowed. Firewall states a throughput of 90MBit/sec upstream, saturating the 100MBit/sec NIC. With ZFS you're making use of all your HW, CPU, RAM, PCI Bus etc. So if something 's wrong with your HW you'll notice. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's related to ZFS. For example I encountered a poor system performance, with lots of interrupts. Tried to tweak ZFS a bit, didn't make a difference. Then I took my primary slave disk from the PCI Controller, attached it to onboard primary master - and things went out fine. Just as a side note: If your dmesg reports something like this: atapci0: ITE IT8212F UDMA133 controller port 0xdc00-0xdc07,0xd800-0xd803,0xd400-0xd407,0xd000-0xd003,0xcc00-0xcc0f irq 10 at device 6.0 on pci0 ...remove it. ;-) Christian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It looks like you made some very hasty judgements, and a lot of the problems you encountered were quite frankly your own fault. after having all my data (test system fortunately) on ZFS including root, i lost /boot partition, which was on pendrive to make testing easier. well - no problem - i've started my normal 6.2 syste, got bootonly CD, removed mfsroot, added (as on ZFS system) vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:tank/root, put tu pendrive, bsdlabel -B etc.. started.. it CANNOT mount zfs. Yes, clearly documented. well - i don't have live CD Easy to download one. the only thing left was 7.0 livecd but amd64 only. well - i have qemu. started qemu with this image, added -hda with my ZFS disk, started. got to fixid, kldload zfs.ko zfs import - well all's fine zfs import -f tank after some time done tried any command - looks like no libraries. well - probably it overmounted / from zfs... I doubt it. More likely you are having problems from trying to use your i386 system on an amd64 kernel, which will be looking in a different place for the i386 libraries. next reboot now zfs import -R /mnt -f tank and it's waiting forever. doing nothing, both CTRL-C and CTRL-Z doesn't work. it's doing nothing as i see that qemu uses almost no CPU. You may have found a bug, unfortunately you needed to obtain more debugging information to be a useful report. it uses HUGE amount of RAM. Documented. it's set copies=n is a joke. you have no warranty where are the copies (often on the same disk). Not according to the documentation. zpool scrub DOES NOT move copies to other disk from the same when other is made available!! It should, I think. raidz can't be expanded Dunno what you mean by expanded. cache flushing CAN NOT be disable for selected device, only for everything. my USB-IDE converter make doesn't allow it, but my 2.5 does! i use USB-IDE converted with disk as a backup. with ZFS it's impossible unless i will turn off flushing for everything - losing it's important adventage. Not sure what you mean here either. disks based pool (no mirror/raidz) won't start AT ALL with one element unattached!!! EVEN if everything has copies1 !!! That's not what copies is supposed to be used for. If you want degraded mode, use a mirror/raid configuration,. summary: excellent idea turned into pile of s...t summary: user had many incorrect expectations about the software and is not willing to correctly report possible bugs so they can be fixed, therefore should avoid running all pre-release versions of freebsd.

Dear sir, My first English is not English, please forgive me if I made some bad words or expression.

wintel stands for windows+intel :-)
how about Freeon - FreeBSD+{Athlon|Sempron|Opteron}?
Thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how one can do
that, but never got to googling. I'm still afraid to mess
with production servers, though zapping the boot manager
would save a few seconds each reboot (hmm, once every
few years :).
UBCD is great, especially when you get hold of mkisofs
and start customizing it. I had to learn it when I needed to
reflash a server without FDD. It only took an hour to find
a guide, experiment and have a new ubcd containing
all the firmwares I need.
Hiren is also very good, but it contains warez mostly, so
beware. There are many other alternatives out there.

You can use in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_ath0=DHCP ssid your_ssid
That's FreeBSD 5.X and prior way of doing it. The suggested way to
config your wirerless is with wpa_supplicant(8). In rc.conf add:
wpa_suplicant_enable=YES
ifconfig_ath0=DHCP
and create wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=MyWireless
mode=11g
}
The neat thing is that you can configure multiple networks and
wpa_supplicant will try them in order.
Note that dhclient was replaced with the new OpenBSD implementation in
FBSD6, and wpa_supplicant introduced to handle association with wireless
networks.

ofcourse there are more options see wpa_supplicant.conf(5), I just now
see that I've used 11g incorrectly. Well, another thing that maybe
someone can highlight:
Say you configure two (or more) networks, one uses dhcp the other static
ip, or they use two different static ip's. How to go about that?

Re: Thanks for FBSD6
You can use in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_ath0=DHCP ssid your_ssid
That's FreeBSD 5.X and prior way of doing it. The suggested way to
config your wirerless is with wpa_supplicant(8). In rc.conf add:
wpa_suplicant_enable=YES
ifconfig_ath0=DHCP
and create wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=MyWireless
mode=11g
}
According to this documentation
http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/wireless/article.html
this syntax is ok on 6.0, but I don't know if the order of arguments
have an importance.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you run
an internet/gaming cafe. The computers currently run Windows, and
you want a free operating system to replace it.
FreeBSD would be a fine choice, especially if most of your customers
want to surf the web or word process. 3D gaming is also possible,
but it takes a little bit of work.
Personally, I run my games on Linux (Ubuntu, in particular); FreeBSD
runs on my servers and work laptop. There are folks who use at least
some of the games you mentioned above on FreeBSD; hopefully they'll
chime in.

Personally, I run my games on Linux (Ubuntu, in particular); FreeBSD runs on my servers and work laptop. There are folks who use at least some of the games you mentioned above on FreeBSD; hopefully they'll chime in. I ran Neverwinter Nights, Enemy Territory and UT2004 with great success. However, playing this game under anything else than windows is to be a pain because of patches. Games producers seem to love making v1.34.01.15 incompatible with v1.34.01.16, so as soon as the server administrator decide he will get this new 1.34.01.16, because he wants to correct that bug he did not even notice, you will have to update. And there... that's awful. You don't have the click here button to upgrade. You have to do it manually, hoping the port was updated. The other problem you may have is with Pack, like in UT, with new vehicles, new maps and so on. They are often released in .exe, and downloading them using the game is very very slow. Concerning the games you want to run, I just tried CS (CS1.5, not CS:S), using wine, like friends of mine. We only had issues with voice. I did not try Warcraft 3, but there, you might want to use linux and wineX. But if you're ready to accept these small problems, you should just wonder if the games you want to install are ported. If you're considering building gaming servers, freebsd is definitely a good choice. Our gaming server used to run on Freebsd, and nobody complained about it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# Gregory Nou: [ Playing with FBSD ] I ran Neverwinter Nights, Enemy Territory and UT2004 with great success. There are two issues with FreeBSD here (I've found out the hard way): 1) There is no nVidia-driver for amd64 and --unless nVidia changes their mind-- there won't ever be one. 2) The i386-nVidia-driver (tested 6113, 7667, 7676) seems to have a major problem with Athlon64 on socket 939. Just google for | NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS kernel | NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended. Apparently, the driver is unable to use either NVAgp or native AGP. You'll still be able to use twin-screens and hardware accelleration, albeit at a very limited transfer bandwidth to the GPU. Some people seem lucky enough and are still able to play, but I know that _for me_ UT2004 runs *way* too slow since updating CPU+Mainboard. (Ran perfectly fine before). In short: if your PCs have a combination of nVidia-GPU and Athlon64/939-CPU, FreeBSD is not a good choice atm. :( HTH Mario ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks to all that answered my questions about xterm. One more question and then I'll quit for the day. I have created a cvsupfile to use with cvsup, and it contains a docs-all line, which is used to update the doc repository. However, both of the books that I have on FreeBSD state that the docs are contained in the /usr/doc directory. No such directory exists in my 5.4 installation. Where did that directory go?

Once having run cvsup with the above supfile, do I then have to do something with the cvs command? No, running cvsup with that cvsupfile will update all of your local sources. You might want to delete /home/ncvs as that is taking up a lot of disc space and you don't need it unless you're planning to run your own cvs mirror, or you're planning on tracking multiple branches. Just stick with cvsup, it's much easier to use than CVS. Take a look at the handbook. It has a lot of info pertaining to what your doing. You might want to be tracking RELENG_5 as your default tag. That's the 5-stable branch which will contain bug fixes etc that are not in the release. RELENG_5_4_0 is just a snapshot of that release with only security updates. Always read /usr/src/UPDATING before building / installing it will save you from potential gotyas.

You might want to use ssmtp. Since you're using your ISP's smtp
server to send mail, there should be no problem if you don't
have a FQDN hostname.
A very simple and complicated HOWTO :)

This is an excellent solution, much better than what I did before. I was
actually editing the sendmail .cf file to change my FQDN and address. Messy.
I can simply use my regular email address @ricin.com (at a hosting provider)
too now. Both send-pr and porttools need a slight modification to also take
the preferred email adress from .ssmtprc. To have the right from and be
also recognised as maintainer by porttools something like this will do:

Re: How to get send-pr/porttools working when on a cable (dsl)provider link -- Thanks
One more remark (for the archives):
if using mailwrapper, change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to
have /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp as the sendmail (and other) program.
Then restart /etc/rc.d/sendmail

My testimonial to FreeBSD would be that three years ago I was asked to get a mailserver for 1,200 users setup quickly, using Qmail, with a web interface and virus scanning of each and every message. A few days later, I had FreeBSD+Qmail-ldap+Qmailscanner running - and it's still running. In three years, it's had two outages, both hardware related. You really can't beat that. Since then, I've used FreeBSD for fileservers, firewalls, printservers, webservers, database servers, and my desktop at home. I've played with Linux, but the BSD documentation is always more complete, FreeBSD systems seem to consistently take a kicking and come back for more. That, and lists such as this offer really great support.

Re: thanks..........
let`s suppose i go to any college, study computer science, what chances are to get a job in any freebsd related group? 1. FreeBSD itself is not a company. We don't offer jobs. However, there are many software shops (companies) that develop or support Unix (Linux, BSD, ...) software. Even more companies (from all sectors of the economy) need experienced junior sysadmins or netadmins, who are proficient at playing with [and programming] misc. Unix versions, including, but not limited to, FreeBSD. 2. It is not absolutely necessary to study CS to be a good programmer, though some CS background won't hurt either. To understand some of the non-trivial algorithms, one or two years of CS exposure would be IMHO very desirable though.

So are you saying that that I should type litterally: cp freebsd.mc `hostname`.mc (I had used neighborsunited.net.mc) Yes. And then you should edit the host.name.of.machine.mc file, eg # vi `hostname`.mc and then in my favorite editor, add the lines: MASQUERADE_AS(`neighborsunited.net')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl then litterally: make make install-cf CF=neighborsunited.net sh /etc/rc.sendmail restart I would use: # make # make install # sh /etc/rc.sendmail restart The CF= stuff is for really odd tweaks.

Re: Thanks
telnet and ftp are disabled by default on a new FreeBSD install. If you wish to use them, you must turn them on. edit your /etc/inetd.conf file and uncomment the lines that say telnet and ftp Save it and issue a SIGHUP to inetd.

Thanks heaps...Re: Help..can I use DUMP? my drive is dying - VINUM ?
Ok thanks for that, How cool is Unix really! The wonderful world of pipes. Bo have I got a lot to learn If you have ssh(1) installed on both machines, do something like this dump 0f - /filesystem | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'gzip filesystem.dump.gz' on the system to be backed up. That should write a compressed dump to the remote machine, assuming that * the local filesystem isn't changing (log updates etc) * the remote system has enough diskspace Then you can rebuild the sick machine, and when it's up running do cd /filesystem ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'gzcat filesystem.dump.gz' | restore rf - to bring the files back. All these commands should be run as root. I'm afraid someone else will need to help you with the vinum stuff - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2003 1:09 PM Subject: Help..can I use DUMP? my drive is dying - VINUM ?

praise and thanks
Thanks to everybody who helped me with sendmail. I hope to be able to do the same. Your advice allowed me to get things running, so that I could troubleshoot the rest of the setup, and explained some things that I hadn't found in the material that I had read (much of iwhich was outdated and meant for other operating systems).

Thanks for the help!
I appreciate all the helpful comments regarding programming under FreeBSD. I think I have enough to take another stab at it. I also discovered that the developer's handbook has a lot of useful info - though it seems the chapter on signals is missing?

Re: Port 3306 -- Solved!! Thanks
Yeah fair comment Ricardo Thanks Hi Keith, Since you are on the matter, I would also recommend using your firewall to stop unwanted requests to that port. For example, try instead of any, allowing your webserver (in case of webdriven websites) and only servers that need to have access to your database. You don't need anyone trying to play around with your database. :) Cheers Ricardo On Thursday 06 March 2003 07:30 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 7:12 PM Hi all, I have Found a rule in my ipf firewall rules file. it allows in my agetway machine running webmin etc etc. to port 3306 from any.

Re: dd *very* slow. Now 75x faster thanks to Kirk's suggestion!
..snip.. I dropped that idea, but I'd read a post somewhere about dd, I tried... dd if=/dev/ad2 of=/dev/da0 ...now the IDE activity LED has been on solid for about 4hours dd's performance is highly depending on the size of its buffers, which are abysmally small (512 bytes) by default: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 0.74 secs (6916211 bytes/sec) You can increase this by specifying your own buffer size: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=16384 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 16384 bytes transferred in 0.000173 secs (94654927 bytes/sec) Before starting the full transfer, do something like: dd if=/dev/ad2 of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=16384 and keep doubling the size of the bs argument until the throughput values stop increasing noticably, then use that value to duplicate your drive. It will still be somewhat slow, but I guarantee you can speed it up by at least 5 times. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. attach3 Here's the results of doubling the buffer size as you suggested: BS bytes/sec 512 60808 (default) 1024121614 2048240212 4096470312 8192898897 16384 1652020 32768 2848452 65536 4490871* 131072 3811765 262144 3438026... iostat now reports a steady 4+MB/s (75x increase).
