The Question is that I could not find anything that resembled Gentoo's USE Flags, so I'd like to know if THERE IS anything like it, where could I read 'bout it (I've been checking the ports chapter in the Handbook but.. no luck). On FreeBSD there is a conceptual distinction between the system and ports. There are a number of flags you can set in /etc/make.conf to control compilation -- see the example make.conf in /usr/share/examples/etc -- probably the closest equivalent of Gentoo's USE_ variables are the NO_FOO variables used to turn off various parts of the system build, eg: NO_SENDMAIL= true Individual ports in the ports system can use any number of WITH_FOO or WITHOUT_FOO flags to control optional parts of compilation. (Actually, there are also USE_FOO make variables in the ports, but those are internal use only and not settable by the end user.) There are also many similar flags from before the convention to use 'WITH' or 'WITHOUT' flags was established. You'll have to read the port Makefile to work out what's available. The WITH_FOO flags in the ports can be set generally for all compilations by including them in /etc/make.conf -- however this is only useful for certain WITH_FOO options that have a generally accepted meaning for all ports. Eg. on one system I use: A4= yes PAPER_SIZE= a4 WITHOUT_PYTHON= yes APACHE_PORT=www/apache2 WITH_APACHE2= yes However, most of these flags only apply to a single port. You can create a 'Makefile.local' in the port directory for ports specific WITH_FOO options, or if you're a portupgrade(1) user, you can populate the MAKE_ARGS array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.

Kernel Upgrades and Patches
Are there any patches available for the FreeBSD kernel to support features like acpi or usb 2.0 without upgrading to a full 5.1 kernel or is it possible to use the 5.1 kernel without a full upgrade? I'm curious if I could do something like in was doing in Linux before linux 2.6 was officially released where I had the choice to run a 2.6 test kernel or load a 2.4 kernel so I could try out some of the new features without dedicating my system to running it full time in case of any stability problems. I did have to upgrade a few core packages, but I could just upgrade each one individually, and they were all fully backward compatible and had no stability issues, by themselves. Also, are there many patches for trying out new features like improving latency on a system or trying out a new scheduler? (These are just examples I took from linux.) And lastly, is there anyway to emulate running a linux device driver or is it easy to port it to freebsd? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime.

On Sat, Jan 17, 2004 at 12:04:38AM -0500, Adam McLaurin wrote: Also, keep in mind you'll need to append your rc.conf with: squid_enable=YES It does seem strange that a port's behaviour would be controlled by the rc.conf, but I suppose that's how the maintainer wanted it done. If this is going to be how it is from now on, perhaps squid_enable should be mentioned in /etc/defaults/rc.conf ? This is a feature of rcNG -- instead of installing a sample startup file, which you have to copy into place, you instead get the rcNG-ified startup file, which you can turn on and customise by setting variables in /etc/rc.conf I don't think it would be feasible to add the default settings for all of the ports that use rcNG to /etc/defaults/rc.conf -- if you want to keep your ports stuff cleanly separated from the base systems, then add: rc_conf_files=/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local /usr/local/etc/rc.ports.conf to your /etc/rc.conf, and put your ports related settings in there. The default rcNG startup script settings are documented in the scripts themselves. It might be an idea to make such ports register their default settings in /usr/local/etc/defaults/rc.ports.conf (for example) but I'm not entirely convinced that the benefit of doing so outweighs the effort required to set it up.

Restarts at boot (was: Re: a couple of questions.)
Hi. When I boot into FreeBSD, my computer restarts itself and tries to boot into it again. I am running FreeBSD 5.1. Recently I would start the computer, boot into FreeBSD, it would restart itself around where it begins to load loader.conf and then starts to boot up again.

Re: trouble mounting a zip drive on parallel port

Don't be too sure about that. From my experience, what you're seeing here is acknowledgement that the ppbus recognizes the existence of the vpo driver, and that it's set for EPP mode. This is prior to any attempt to communicate with the zip drive itself. I got the same error messages when my parallel cable came loose and the zip was no longer communicating with the driver at all.

Sometimes the whole system hangs when I start X by startx or 'setpmac mls/equal startx' (with MAC policies loaded). In about 30% of attempts it hangs on XFree startup messages and hard reset is required. The problem occurs a little bit too often for some unrelated accident and it doesn't occur at all on 5.1-RELEASE (the same hardware and configuration). Does anyone have similar problem ? Yes, see my post from earlier today called Can't shutdown, logout, or restart cleanly. I have not run 5.1-RELEASE before, so I can't say if it didn't happen there, but it definitely happens with 5.2-CURRENT. I'm at my wit's end trying to find out why! Per a post I received on bsdforums.com, try booting up with ACPI turned off. This can be done in 5.1 and later by choosing option 2 in the boot menu (Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled). Once I did this, it worked like a champ. I'm not sure why earlier versions may not have been affected by this or if it only affects certain hardware. Let me know if this worked for you. I have the same problem on two builds of 5.2, one is a Sony Vaio PCG-F360 Laptop (PII 400MHz) and the other is a newer P4 system with Asus mother board. Both worked fine with 5.1 and both broke with 5.2. I was able to work around this problem by booting up with ACPI disabled. Is there a known issue with ACPI that is being worked on for 5.2 or did someone already submit a bug report? Thanks, David I was seeing this on my Dell Latitude notebook from a couple of years ago (C600). I found that the problem went away when I switched off either ACPI or device apic, so it looks like it's basically an interrupt problem of some sort. I'm running with the r128 kernel module for DRI, and John Baldwin suggested that it might be part of the problem. I've also been experiencing continuing ATA problems, so it may well be that a combination of ACPI and apic changes has resulted in improper handling/routing/... of interrupts on the box. You might want to check and see if there are any BIOS upgrades available for your system -- as ACPI support evolves, older systems with more questionable ACPI sometimes work less well. A number of vendors have released BIOS updates to address this. Seems kinda strange that it would work fine in 5.1 and then break in 5.2, if it were hardware/bios related. Keep in mind, one of my systems is less than a year old P4 system (you seem to just be referencing my older laptop), so were not just talking about old pre-ACPI hardware/bios either. I may be wrong, but it seems something has changed for ACPI between 5.1 and 5.2, either in the FreeBSD implementation or in the specification that would require a BIOS update on my newer hardware and make the older hardware need it disabled. In November John Baldwin changed how interrupts are handled and this shook up ACPI support for a lot of people.

I can switch back to X just fine. Just the VT has this problem. OK, when you press, say, ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to the VT, are you still in X or at the console? Is the error message at the console or on the VT from where you entered startx? Does X terminate? I never get the wavy text while in X. If by chance I am able to switch to the VT for some reason without getting the mode out of range error, all the text is waving around. This has not happened in FreeBSD 5.2, but I did see it a few times in 4.8 (I don't know if I'll be able to reproduce it). If you switch back to X when you get the wavy text, is everything OK there? Can you start X from inside a debugger? What do you have in your XF86Config? I'll go to sleep now, good night.

At one point in FreeBSD 4.8 I could switch to the virtual console, but everything was wavy - text was moving around (it was really weird). Could you describe this a bit more? I'm often seeing text moving around, and weird colorful stripes on the screen when I switch to X. Viewing a specific page in Mozilla triggers this. Unfortunately, I can't just open the debugger and see what's going on at this time, because I can hardly see anything on the screen. When you're able to reproduce it, then have a look at the on-screen menu of your monitor and check the frequencies, they're probably way too high.

[nslookup being deprecated] On Fri, Jan 16, 2004 at 01:58:44PM -0500, Jerry McAllister wrote: I don't mean to ask about the meaning of the word deprecated, but rather, is nslookup being deprecated a LINUXy thing, or is that going to happen in FreeBSD too? No, it's neither Linux nor BSD derived. BIND is developed by the Internet Software Consortium (http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/), and they are the people responsible for that decision. Most Unix vendors ship ISC Bind code and applications standard with their OSes, plus there are quite a few shrink-wrap products based on ISC code, which explains why nslookup(1) has been such a long time a-dying. FreeBSD uses a pretty straight port of ISC BIND to provide named(8), host(1), dig(1) etc., (but AFAIK doesn't use the straight BIND resolver code in libc) -- so nslookup(1) will disappear from FreeBSD when ISC releases (and then FreeBSD imports) a BIND version without it. Same probably goes for most Linux distributions. OK. It is just that when something gets labeled deprecated often there is a note indicating that put in the man page, but I didn't see one for nslookup. jerry Cheers, Matthew ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One can use multiple sed commands in one step: shtool subst [-s] \ -e '99d' \ -e '/pattern1/s/$/\ninsert line after line with pattern1/' \ -e '/pattern2/s/^/\ninsert line before pattern 2/' \ -e '/pattern3/s/pat1/pat2/g' \ file1 [file2, ] The -s option preserves the timestamps of the file(s) edited. Remember if doing things based on line numbers (a) to make these changes first from highest line number to lowest to prevent confusion.

install FreeBSD using PPPoE
Okay Randy, thanks a lot! First, yes, I have not received your previous message for some reason. Second, the other site you have pointed out: http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net is accessible. Third, the PPPoE connect works perfect, when configured the way you described. Although I have not finished the installation yet, I hope I will get through this (if not I will ask again :) ). But in general, all this excellently works. Here is what I did not get through myself: why would I need to initialize ppp? The answer is: to bring up that command line interface ppp on the next available tty and be able to enter ppp.conf lines such as real PPPoE device, authname, authkey, etc. Thank you very much again for your help!

The FBSD 4.9 install system has drivers for most of the Nic cards and modems in use today, so there is no need to recompile the kernel unless you have some piece of hardware not covered by the GENERIC kernel. If your usb phone modem is an winmodem it will not work with FBSD period. Winmodem are manufactured specially for MS/Windows systems. Install FBSD and when completed, halt your FBSD system and then power off, plug in usb modem, and power on. Review the boot log /var/run/dmesg.boot file looking for message that your modem was found, if found use 'user ppp' to dial your isp and login for you to gain internet access. If your usb modem is found as (unknown) you are SOL, (sh_t out of luck). Get your self an real serial com port external modem. They work with out any fuss. That's the easiest way for an newbe.

Re: install FreeBSD using PPPoE

Third, the PPPoE connect works perfect, when configured the way you described. Although I have not finished the installation yet, I hope I will get through this (if not I will ask again :) ). But in general, all this excellently works. Here is what I did not get through myself: why would I need to initialize ppp? The answer is: to bring up that command line interface ppp on the next available tty and be able to enter ppp.conf lines such as real PPPoE device, authname, authkey, etc. Thank you very much again for your help! Alex. Great! Glad to hear it worked for you and you'll soon be exploring FreeBSD. And, maybe to head off a few questions ... the reason that this is not part of the Handbook is that it is technically a supported method used by Sysinstall. It is a bit of an ugly workaround but it does work. Generally, people with a PPPoE connection will download the ISO image and burn their own CDROM for installation. The case where a person needs to install directly via PPPoE only comes up a few times a year. Best of luck and remember to have fun!

RE: isdn soft modem
If your saying you want to use your ISDN modem for receiving incoming call over standard phone lines, I don't think that is possible. Read the documentation that came with your ISDN modem to see if that is possible. If so, then use 'user ppp' for incoming calls. Read man ppp. It has two different configuration methods for receiving incoming calls.

Flo fbsd_user wrote: PCI modem are manufactured for 2 different target markets, the MS/Windows market and Non MS/Windows. The MS/Windows market modems are much cheaper to purchase because they are missing the onboard controller chip. The function this chip performs is replaced by an software driver that you have to install on your MS/Window system. These types of modems are referred to as Winmodems. FBSD will not work with Winmodems in normal native mode. Some Winmodems are manufactured using the Lucent chips. There is an special port ltmdm of an Linux driver that will allow FBSD to use some Winmodems that have Lucent chips. There are many versions of the Lucent winmodem chips and the port does not work with all versions. Generally speaking, playing with the ltmdm port and getting it working is not an task for the newbe. The simplest way to use an modem for the newbe , is to use an external serial modem that connects to the PCs com ports on the back of your PC. USB external modems also come in the winmodem models and theses will not work with FBSD period. You should read the documentation that came with your modem, and the outside of the box it came in, or go to the manufacture's web site to determine if your modem is an winmodem. You are looking for something that says includes onboard controller and DSP functions which means it's not an winmodem. Review the FBSD boot log /var/run/dmesg.boot file to see if FBSD finds your modem during the boot process. If it does then use 'user ppp' to dial out to your ISP. Read the FBSD handbook about how to set that up. It's not an step by step procedure, but it will give you enough info to point you in the correct direction.

Re: FreeBSD 5.1, Cups problem
Indeed, we have a big problem getting CUPS to work with FreeBSD 5.1. The root of the problem is in the fact that it does not install properly! (I think this is completely the responsibility of the folks at FreeBSDMall, who clearly didn't test the system they sell in the box!) I suppose I should have (and still should) written all the steps I had to do to get it working. So, here's a list of what I remember having to do, and why: 1) The software expects to be installed in /usr/sbin, but FreeBSD's version puts it in /usr/local/sbin. If that isn't in your path, none of the command line stuff will work, and this includes even starting cupsd or using lpadmin. 2) CUPS expects its config files and other stuff to be in /etc/cups, but FreeBSD puts that stuff in /usr/local/etc/cups. This means that even if you make the path correct for finding the program, it won't find any of its control or configuration files and will die almost instantly if you start it from a shell. 3)CUPS expects its spool file directory to be in /var/spool/cups, but FreeBSD5.1 puts similar stuff below /var/spool/output, so you might want to continue this philosophy by creating /var/spool/output/cups. Neither of these dirs exist or are created when you install cups. You can decide which one of them you want to use and create it... but don't forget to give it and its sub parts (I'll talk about them shortly) the proper owner:group (either root:daemon or daemon:daemon, your choice). You'll need a sub-dir called tmp with the same owner attribs below where ever you create the cups dir. 4) Cups requires (even if you aren't using certificates) a sub-dir to the /usr/local/etc/cups dir called certs, and the ownership requirements are the same as in 3, above. If the dir isn't there, cupsd won't get far before dying somewhat ungracefully, and it isn't created by default... you have to do it. 5) The cupsd.conf that comes with the installation isn't aware of any of the above misplacements or that any of this might be missing. Thus, it has to be edited. I've attached the version I am successfully using now to this message. You'll almost certainly have to change it to fit where you decide to put things, but it's a good start. Be aware of the error reporting level parts of this file, as they can help you a lot when you've finally got to the point where you can start the program. You'll want to tone it down later, after things are up and running smoothly, but having it fairly verbose can really help a lot at first. 6) The printers.conf, mime.types, .convs and other .conf files all go in the /usr/local/etc/cups dir. You'll also probably have to create a ppd directory under /usr/local/etc/cups, as well, as I don't believe it got created automagically. 7) If you're using any of the more recent printers (one of mine is an HP deskjet 960c) that isn't in the hpijs add-on to gs, you'll have to go get them and put them into the ppd dir mentioned in step 6. If you get this far and are having trouble figuring out what needs to go where to do this part, let me know and I'll send another message with the specifics of what I did to get it to work. 8) Finally, cups expects its control script file to be in /etc/rc.d, and that it will be named cups.sh If you look hard enough through the documentation, you can find that there is supposed to be a file there called cups.sh.sample that you can edit and rename or copy for your installation to make it work. This is a really idiotic chicken and egg situation, as you can normally only see the documentation to find this out if you can run the cups daemon and get to the web pages at port 631, but you really should start and control the daemon with the shell script. It's almost funny, in a really sadistic way. In any event, you can either search around and find the sample file, edit it and move it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d, or use the one attached here and put it in that dir. Don't forget where you put it... you may want to either edit it or use it later! 9) With all this done, I believe you will be able to do /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start and the beast should come alive. You can then point your favorite browser at http://localhost:631 and you should see the nice cups web control interface. If you don't, have a look at /var/log/messages, or where ever you told cups to put its error messages in the cupsd.conf file, and you will probably get something meaningful in the way of an error message that will lead you to fix something. (This is especially true if I left anything out here, but I hope I didn't.) Then you can try again. I hope this helps you (and anyone else struggling with this problem). I got wonderful advice (and patience) from Peter Ulrich Kruppa in Germany. Without his pointers, I'd still be fighting with this thing! Certainly, if you have further questions about the cups installation on FreeBSD5.1, let me know and I'll

Re: FreeBSD 5.1, Cups problem
Hi Dr. Hazelton, CUPS is one of over 10,000 optional ports for FreeBSD, and you are correct in assuming that it is not always tested by the port maintainers, FreeBSD developers, or FreeBSD CDROM vendors. After all the excellent investigation you have done on this issue, we should make an addition to the printing chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook to better document this. Can you please submit some text with send-pr(1) so that one of us can incorporate this into the Handbook. That would do far more to help other users than a mailing list post that will get lost with time.

Lang wrote: Are there any patches available for the FreeBSD kernel to support features like acpi or usb 2.0 without upgrading to a full 5.1 kernel or is it possible to use the 5.1 kernel without a full upgrade? No. FreeBSD is released as a complete operating system and not just a kernel with distributions arround it. If you want to run FreeBSD you will have to run the operating system. But of course you can get the code you want by cvs. I'm curious if I could do something like in was doing in Linux before linux 2.6 was officially released where I had the choice to run a 2.6 test kernel or load a 2.4 kernel so I could try out some of the new features without dedicating my system to running it full time in case of any stability problems. I did have to upgrade a few core packages, but I could just upgrade each one individually, and they were all fully backward compatible and had no stability issues, by themselves. You have the choice to run -RELEASE, -STABLE or -CURRENT. What you are looking for is -CURRENT. There you can test anything you want and take part in development. For production use you should run RELEASE and you can also run a second installation on your test machine like -STABLE. For more info see the FreeBSD Hnadbook, especiallay: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html Also, are there many patches for trying out new features like improving latency on a system or trying out a new scheduler? (These are just examples I took from linux.) Indeed, there is currently a new scheduler in FreeBSD. You can choose it by compiling your own customized kernel. Also see the handbook for further info (You need options SCHED_ULE) And lastly, is there anyway to emulate running a linux device driver or is it easy to port it to freebsd? No device driver.

Seems like this takes fewer keystrokes... I don't know

the cont returns true? Say:
cmd1 | awk '{print $9}' == 'foo.c'
then
echo Found foo.c

it's mostly like a perl hack, tho.

USB Mouse vs. Sound problem
Hi all, I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.9 on a laptop and I've got into this problem: When I attach the USB Mouse on boot I get a fully working mouse, if I start X (KDE) I didn't hear any sound unless I move the mouse around during KDE's startup, if I stop moving it the sound also stops, the same thing happens on XMMS while I play a CD. Then, if I unplug the mouse I get full sound experience on my desktop, but I cannot replug the mouse and get it to be re-initialized. If I boot without the USB mouse, I don't get any sound from KDE or XMMS, even if I move the touchpad. Here is some output from my laptop: # dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: Intel ICH3 (82801CA) port 0x1840-0x187f,0x1c00-0x1cff irq 9 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: Yamaha YMF753 AC97 Codec # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH3 (82801CA) at io 0x1c00, 0x1840 irq 9 bufsz 16384 (1p/1r/4v channels duplex) I'have configured artsd to use /dev/dsp0.1 so XMMS can use the default /dev/dsp0.0 and the problem is still the same.

Actually, I did not find anyone who actually make this i've got exactly the same setup as you do, and am trying to do this as well. short end of the stick is, the only way to do proper best path routing is by using BGP and having your ISPs (both of them) play ball and advertise BGP routes to you. without this, you'd never be able to do it yourself. as previously stated, FreeBSD does not support multipath routing by default, though there is a patch which adds this functionality into the kernel. i have not tried this patch at all, so i won't comment on it. what i do today is i set the default route to the ISP i am more convinced off, with static routes of certain large CIDR address blocks going out to the other ISP. i decided on those large blocks after checking the global route tables, AS PATH diagrams and experience of link quality. you can do this by using tools such as the Looking Glass servers, RouteViews.Org and even Netlantis.org for your situation. i'm not running routed, zebra/bgpd/ospfd on this at all, since it's all static routes and i can't find an ISP ospf/bgp router willing to exchange routes with me. i've tried exploring round robin routing using ipfw's fwd rulesets, but this does not change the src address of the packet, and sending a packet with the wrong src address down the wire can be detrimental to the packet's wellbeing. :) i'd be very interested though if someone else had succeeded in doing this.

Re: Mail server?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howdy, configuration has always seemed pretty straight-forward. If I stay with sendmail, should I download and compile from sources?

By the way, if you think sendmail configuration is straightforward, I don't think there's much MTA software out there that could still scare you, not even qmail :P If you choose to go with sendmail, you should use the base-system's. It's pretty up to date with critical patches and the like. I personally deprecated sendmail ages ago, for two mai reasons: - it's a cruft, one big old leviathan and delivers mail at according speed - its security history I know both points are arguable and I don't want to troll off another holy MTA war here, just saying that these two points did it for me. I personally prefer Postfix, which is also used by the mail-servers at FreeBSD.org. The UCE blocking support offered by it is pretty good, and configuration is straightforward. You don't even need to remove the base-system's MTA, just tweak rc.conf and mailer.conf and you're up and away. I couldn't agree more. Postfix is fast, flexible and way secure and its configuration and general handling isn't as messy as qmail's. For the most part, all you have to worry about is one central config file and it aims to integrate well into a system replacing sendmail. Try it.

Success with Symantec Ghost 7
I know the topic of ghosting a FreeBSD box is discussed on here from time to time. I just wanted to let everyone know I had a success using Ghost 7 on my current setup. I cloned it from a Dell PowerEdge 2450 to a generic desktop with same drive configuration (2 SCSI drives in each). I used Ghost to do a sector copy on each individual harddrive. All I had to do to get it rolling was boot to the GENERIC kernel, as the one I configured for the Dell server was SMP. Everything seemed to come up and work fine. It even saw additional drive space on the new machine, as the harddrives were slightly bigger. Just thought this was some good information for the list.
