Windows XP ssh client to FreeBSD 5.3/pf issue
Perplexed by an issue connecting a Windows 7 client to an old FreeBSD 5.3
server. On Windows XP clients SecureCRT gets "The semaphore timeout period
has expired". PuTTY gets "Network error: Software caused connection abort".
I have no issues connecting to newer 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x BSD servers though
from Windows 7. If I switch to an XP client on same network (192.168.0.0/16) it
works. If I shutoff pf on the 5.3 server Win 7 clients can connect. So it
must be pf, but I don't see how pf would be affected by a windows OS
version. pf.conf follows

EXABYTE 8200 on FreeBSD 5.3
I know this is ancient technology, but we have a pile of exabyte tapes made on an 8200 and would like to recover some of the data on them. We have an old 5.3 machine which has an adaptec 2120S, and the Exabyte is connected to that. The kernel identifies the Exabyte on boot, but it's all downhill after that. The driver sometimes spits out a pile of errors (I'll append a sample at the end) and mt doesn't seem to do simple commands (like a retension). I note that the MT page for 5.3 says that not all SCSI-1 devices are supported. So before I invest more time in this, I am wondering if anyone can tell if the support is there for this configuration? If not, what (inexpensive) options do I have for possibly retrieving this data? Thanks a lot, Scott -- s...@ssr.com An "mt status" causes the driver to report: (sa0:aacp0:0:4:0): MODE SENSE(06).

Haskell on FreeBSD 5.3
I am trying to install Haskell (no-x11) on a FreeBSD 5.3 system and having no luck. From looking at the Makefile, it seems that the latest version of Haskel (6.6.1) can only be installed on FreeBSD 6. I've tried tweaking the makefile to fudge version numbers, but all I get is pain and errors. Is there a way to install a previous version of Haskell using the ports system? Google has no good answers I can find. I've looked into portdowngrade, but that doesn't seem to be what I need. I am not downgrading a previous version of Haskell, I just need to install an old one. Plus I can't really figure out how portdowngrade works. :-) Any help will be much appreciated.

Hello-- Lisa Casey wrote: I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5.3 (because that's the latest distro I have CD's for) on a brand new system with a 80 G harddrive and 2 G RAM. If you're having problems with 5.3, it might be better to try 6.2 or maybe 5.5 than to spend too much time playing with a version that you're going to have to update immediately before using, anyway. Note that you can simply burn a new FreeBSD image from the ones on ftp.freebsd.org or the mirrors mentioned in the fine manual... :-) I boot from Disk 1 of the 5.3 disk set and choose to begin a standard installation. Next is the fdisk utility to partition the drive. The first thing I get is a message which states: WARNING: A geometry of 155061/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or if you are unsure whether or not it's correct, please consult the hardware guide in the documentation submenu or use the (G)eometry command to change it now. Even if I go to bios and use the values bios gives for the harddrive (38309/16/255) I still get the same message about incorrect geometry. You might try updating your machine's BIOS, if anything is available, and you might try entering the disk configuration settings and try to make sure the BIOS is set to LBA mode rather than C/H/S or some manual geometry. Usually the default/auto setting ends up in LBA mode, anyway, unless your BIOS is old or flaky. I can choose OK and get past this. I choose to devote the entire disk to FreeBSD, and install the FreeBSD boot manager. Next I need to partition my drive. The defaults won't do at all (this machine is to be a radius server & mail server and the default size of /var is too small). I chose 2000M for /, 4000M for swap (using 2 x RAM), 200M for /tmp, 20,000M for /usr and the remainder for /var. Next I chose to install full sources, binaries & docs and to install the Ports collection. I chose to install from CD then hit OK to start copying files but I get this error: Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev. The creation of file systems will be aborted. ad0s1b is my swap partition. I changed the size of swap to 2000M thinking perhaps it was too large but I get the same error about unable to find device node. This implies a problem writing out the partition table. Make sure the IDE cables are OK and that the disk drive and CD-ROM drive have the IDE master/slave setting jumpers properly configured. You might have a BIOS setting about "boot sector virus protection"; if so, turn that off or your BIOS might have prevented FreeBSD from writing the bootstrap info/MBR out to disk. You might also try using a DOS or Windows version of FDISK to create a small bootable partition (a Win 98/ME recovery floppy works good for this), and see whether that is bootable. If it is, then try installing FreeBSD to the remainder of the disk space. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's why it's trying for a connect to port 22 of the remote host, and the connection refusal is due to either an intermediate firewall block, TCP wrappers, etc. or else sshd is simply not running. In this case, newfreebsd.com must be running sshd on accessible on port 22. Otherwise, you'll need to actually get rsyncd running and alter your invocation to use it (on port 873). Simplest, most secure fix is to make sure that newfreebsd.com is running sshd, and that should do it. Put sshd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, tune /etc/ssh/sshd_config as needed, then start sshd by reboot or manually invoking its startup script. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: rsync on Freebsd 5.3
I've never needed to do any rsync specific configuration, just install
from ports on both machines. This sounds more like a ssh
configuration issue ("connect to host newfreebsd.com port 22:
Connection refused") on newfreebsd.com. Or maybe you're not allowing
ssh connections thru the firewall on newfreebsd.com?

Sendmail FreeBSD 5.3 Issue
I have a machine that I have installed bind and sendmail from the ports collection it is a mail gateway. When I do a nslookup from the box when it first boots up I do an nslookup on the host name mail2.memorialcare.org It returns the correct ip address. But when I send an email through sendmail on the box that sends to memorialcare.org through mail2.memorialcare.org I get this error Jun 27 06:26:29 rdc-mailgw02 sm-mta[623]: k5RBPtCM000608: [EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=00:00:05, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30005, relay=mail2.memorialcare.org., dsn=5.1.2, stat=Host unknown (Name server: mail2.memorialcare.org.: host not found) And then if I do an nslookup from the box after that I get a ** server can't find mail2.memorialcare.org: NXDOMAIN Has anyone ever seen anything like this? __ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm not so sure. It would take quite a few tests and some _real_ numbers to convince me that such a claim was true :-) Any 64-bit AMD chip will knock the socks off of equivalent Intel solutions in code compiling benchmarks.

Without actual benchmarks, it's just speculation. And it's still only really interesting if it still holds significantly for 6.X rather than 5.X. Even then, I am inclined to the opinion that CPUs get faster so quickly that even a 20% difference will evaporate in months, and since 5/6.X support newer hardware, I couldn't actually care less if they are a bit less efficient.

Upgrading to 5.5 (or even 6.1) is probably a good idea for two reasons. The first is that, just as you say, several bugs have been fixed since 5.3 . The other reason is that both 5.3 and 5.4 will only be supported for a couple months more, while 5.5 will be supported for nearly two more years.

The 5.3 release was clearly marked as a "developer preview" release, so if you are still running systems with that version, then you should *first* upgrade your production systems to a more stable FreeBSD version. Many important bugs have been fixed on the 5.X branch since the 5.3 version was built, so you should target at the _very_ least the more stable, debugged & featureful 5.4 or 5.5 releases, or even RELENG_5. > I want a development environment which is closer to production > than my Mac is.

Especially since the page says "Integrated Graphics up to 64 MB, default setting 32 MB", which leads me to think that this integrated graphics thingy uses system memory, which would be taken out of the not-overly-generous 512 MB. It will almost certainly work for your VGA console. I also wouldn't count on the integrated sound or even ethernet. The modem, I can just about guarantee, is a winmodem and thus probably not useable. But in all cases, it's hard to know for sure since they don't say what the hardware is. The keyboard and mouse will probably work fine. The subject line says "desktop server". My take is that it would be iffy as a desktop (might work, you never know) but probably fine as a light-duty server, although you may need to add a $10 ethernet card.

Maybe it's just some consistency problem. If you have a spare freebsd box, then you could try mounting those drives on it and poke around. Or, you could even chuck those drives into another box (one at a time), boot it up and see what happens (assuming your kernel is pretty much generic). That is just to rule out busted components on current box. There must be a proper and better way for doing this though.

Hi All, I've been running a server using FreeBSD 5.3 and gmirror to mirror two identical IDE hard drives. Its been running great for over a year.

(this is followed by details about the fault) These errors are preceded by other related error information that flys by on the screen and I have no way of seeing them again.

If the upgrade is small (e.g. 5.3-RELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE+security patches), then you can often get away without needing single-user mode. If you're trying to upgrade to a new version, this becomes increasingly dangerous.

Re: mysql 5.0 on FreeBSD 5.3
Thanks. I updated my source tree, and am about to run the following (20.4.1 in the handbook): # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot But, it then says: After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt). Then run: # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Is it going to be possible to do this upgrade without access to the server? I am going to need to do this whole process over ssh.

Is upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 a big job? Or is there something simple I'm missing? I've read on the mailing list about just specifying RELENG_5_4 in your cvs-supfile file. I tried this using the following cvs-supfile: -- *default tag=RELENG_5_4 *default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all -- And it just deleted all but a few of my ports in /usr/ports when I run cvsup.

I hope this one is not so stupid - how can I get the users to show up on the user list in the gdm when using a template that shows a list of all users? I have /etc/pam.d/gdm all setup and can login no problem with LDAP users. Actually, this list does not even populate with the system users.

Thanks very much In fact it turned out that libmagic was OK on my system. The problem was in fact caused by a bug in the php5 Makefile which, on FreeBSD 5.3 was looking for libmagic in the wrong location. At the same time the console message asked the user to reinstall libmagic -- which of cource would not have put libmagic in the place that the makefile was looking at!!! I have let [EMAIL PROTECTED] know about that bug and another bug in the php5 make so it will no doubt get fixed in the next version.

But I suspect that the errors will come back in short order. Anyone got any idea what's up with the box and what I might do to fix this? I checked the cable already like what was suggested in another forum post on another site that I googled, but I can't find anything else that stands out as being something that might be the cause of this issue. And yes, this board seems very picky under BSD, but it tested fine when I loaded windowsxp onto it when I was first testing it. Go figure. Any ideas?

Haven't tried 5.3, but 6.0 beta2 works fine as long as your mobo supports booting from usbcd - the tyan should do it. in my case 4.9 + 5.4 find the USB drive, but they panic on boot - but it doesnt relate to the usb cd, same happens if I install on a HD in another box and then boot from the HDanother story altogether...gentoo will take over that box methinks.

Thanks for this info.

While I don't know the specfic equipment in your question, the general response is that it is the BIOS that determines 'bootability' i.e. whether a device can be used as a boot device. Check the BIOS setting first, there may be a setting for booting from USB. If not, try 'removable drives' if it is shown. If that fails, you might be able to boot from a network device using PXE booting. Check the handbook (and your BIOS documentation) regarding PXE boot support. If all that fails, try removing the hard disk and placing it in another compatible system which has a bootable CD ROM. And if *that* fails, post again.

Re: bge0: WatchDog Timedout -- resetting in FreeBSD 5.3
I had this problem last week after upgrading to a newer 5.4-STABLE. The problem looked like an IRQ problem since both bge interfaces were sharing the same IRQ. The problem went away after disabling hyper threading in bios. The box is a dual XEON so I had enabled SMP. SMP works fine, but HTT was causing the bge timeouts and system load to be 10x higher than normal.

Atheros AR5213 based WiFi card support on FreeBSD 5.3 but not on FreeBSD 5.4 ?? ...
All, Using Google I found a number of people that are apparently using an Atheros AR5213 based Wifi card with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. How come this device is not recognized in 5.4-RELEASE and how do I work around this? Best Regards, Hans R.

Question about install oracle 920 on freebsd 5.3
Dear freebsd users, Thank you for reading the message. I'm trying to install oracle 920 on freebsd on freebsd 5.3. But it failed when it is confirming jvm. When I run "java -version" bundled with oracle, it really works. Could somebody help me out? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As I said, it is just in knowing how to set it up. One of the keys is not installing /usr/ports. While the ports system is great for setting things up fast, it is a space hog. If you download and compile the utilities by hand, it uses a lot less space, plus you learn how the system actually works as opposed to learning how to flip switches on a black box. I use /usr/ports quite a lot but I didn't when I was learning.

RE: suitability of freebsd 5.3 for 486 dx2 66?
If it is only for cli and learning programming, I'd suggest to install FreeBSD 4.11. All you need (gcc, perl, python, vim/emacs) is readyly available from the original install cd #1. I had a comparable box running as a samba fileserver under FreeBSD and even could run a "make world" on it. You need to have at least a cdrom drive or network card in your 486 box for installation. If you don't need the comfort of sysinstall, you could also give netbsd a try. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cecil > Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 2:16 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: suitability of freebsd 5.3 for 486 dx2 66? > > > I plan on running a 486 I found laying around as a > freebsd box.

You don't have enough disk space to fit Perl, Python, and a full FreeBSD distribution. The CPU is going to be slow but workable, but 20MB of RAM is going to be very marginal, too. I'm not sure the installer will be able to run, although if you can get the disk built out, FreeBSD will run. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
