cdrom hangs FreeBSD boot
Hi :) I'm using FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE-p2 and I'm experiencing a very serious problem. When my cdrom is connected (slave on first IDE slot), FreeBSD hangs on boot at: Timecounter TSC frequency 2399937676 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec There's no error, no panic, no messages whatsoever, it just stays like this and stop booting. I set IDE1/slave to NONE is my bios, so the cdrom would not be discovered on boot (temporary solution until it works), but I get the same problem... it just hangs. For now, the only solution is to unplug the cdrom... :( Just to make sure this was not hardware related, Linux and Windows boot fine on the same box with the cdrom pluged-in. FreeBSD also boots fine when the cdrom is alone (slave or master) on its IDE slot. If you have any idea I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance.

SMBFS and vfs.usermount. BUG??

A normal user (me in this case (edd)) can mount a cdrom drive (on a dir owned by him): mount /home/edd/cdrom umount /home/edd/cdrom this returns no errors and proves that vfs.usermount is working for cd9660 fs. mount /home/edd/rhome works fine... but umount /home/edd/rhome does NOT work.

Problems with kdevelop3
Guys, I recently built kdevelop3 from the ports tree, and it has been, to say the least, a bit unstable. Has anyone else had any problems with it? Specifically, after opening a project, it will crash out very easily. Closing the project, adding files to the project - even closing the application a project open will cause a crash handler to pop up. I thought it might be having a problem with old configuration files, so I removed all of the kdevelop specific configuration files from my home directory. I'm not sure whether this is a specific build problem on my system, perhaps a problem with the FreeBSD port, or a kdevelop issue. It seems a bit strange they would call this a stable build if it were happening to everyone. Also, since it isn't yet built into a package, perhaps it's just a port bug that hasn't been worked out yet? As for the build environment, it's a FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE system (I haven't cvsup'ed the base system). I am using the ports tree from Monday, around 12:00 PM EST. Also, how do you turn on debugging information when you compile via the ports tree? If I need to file a kde bug report, it would be nice to have a full backtrace.

Well, since it's an interpreted script (it's some standalone PHP) in order to execute it, the user must be able to read it. Since the script holds passwds that means that any user with the ability to run it can get the passwds (in my case to access my MySQL server). This is a ``flaw'' with the way Apache works because everything Apache executes must be +rw for the Apache user (www). As a result any person able to write PHP code (all of my users) can read anything that the Apache user can, because mod_php executes as the Apache user.

All you can do really is store the passwords themselves in an include file that you put in the most secure place possible, preferably not in webspace. But I imagine you have this covered.

Re: Choosing between sh and perl for system scripts
Now that I have a desktop workstation and network, I'm trying to learn the true admin side of BSD, such as the periodic tasks, and how to automate things. I see perl all over the system, and I know it's powerful and easy to use. What might help me decide which tool would be best for the scripts I want to write? Probably the two main things to consider are what type of processing you will be doing and how much it will be used. Perl is great for text processing - grabbing things out of text streams, mashing it around, creating easily searched and manipulated tables of that sort of stuff. It is not really so good at anything that needs a lot of floating point number crunching. Perl handles CGIs for web stuff pretty well unless you are getting thousands of hits on something. Then it can be a little slow. Or, if it involves talking to a database, maybe you would prefer PHP for that part of things. Perl is good for scripts that get used now and then. But, it is kind of big so if the script is likely to be used a lot - every second or so, then you will want to use something leaner. Probably either sh or even write it in C. Some people crab about Perl being less secure, but I think that is mostly like everything else. A poorly written script will be insecure in any language. A well written script will be more secure. Since Perl handles all your data types for you, you do not have so much of a problem of overrunning buffers, which is where most cracks develop in the UNIX world. So, in that sense, Perl can be more secure than C code. If you need something that runs in single user mode, then you will want to use sh for that. jerry NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed.

I didn't really notice anything good or bad happening after that. I did have to mess around with a couple of makefiles to get around the strict-aliasing problem that O2 introduces.

FreeBSD 4.9: Server Works GCSL -- unknown chipset
Hello list, First off, the environment: FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE, Intel P4 3GH with HTT enabled Mainboard ASUS NRL-L533 North Bridge: ServerWorks CMIC-SL South Bridge: ServerWorks CSB6 I checked google and the mailing list archive but couldn't find helpful (for me) information on this. A client brought us a server to install FreeBSD 4.9 on it, but the chipset isn't recognized by the system. I had to disable DMA in the BIOS to get FreeBSD booting off the IDE-HDD. I then read the Hardware Release notes (I know, it's too late): FreeBSD 4.9: ServerWorks CSB5 ATA66/ATA100 FreeBSD 5.2: ServerWorks CSB5 and CSB6 ATA66/ATA10 According to this, it is the only way to install 5.2? Would 4.9-stable recognize the chipset? Is that lack fundamental to the whole system or would it suffice to just buy a new IDE-Controller?

Re: How about them optimizations?
On Tue, Feb 10, 2004 at 12:14:46PM -0800, Roop Nanuwa wrote: Part of my current /etc/make.conf on my 5.2-CURRENT box looks like: CPUTYPE= athlon-xp CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe Now what I'm wondering is if those extras like mmmx msse actually do anything. The only reason they're in there is because I saw them on a website about what people use to optimize gentoo. I had nothing better to do so I recompiled the world with them. I didn't really notice anything good or bad happening after that. I did have to mess around with a couple of makefiles to get around the strict-aliasing problem that O2 introduces. Besides that, though, are there any advantages or disadvantages to compiling with those optimizations and switches? Does -mfpmath=sse actually do anything relevent for the FreeBSD world? I know what the GCC manual says about it but I'd rather hear some real world info. An enquiring mind wants to know. That's superfluous, because gcc already uses all available opcodes when you tell it to optimize for your CPU type with CPUTYPE=athlon-xp. Using -O2 is recommended against, though - see the sample make.conf file. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Segmentation Fault Question
Hey everyone, I am running version 4.3 and I am running into the following problem. When running one of the commands in vpopmail, I am getting a core dump (segmentation fault). There is no obvious vpopmail answer, so I'm thinking it might be system related. I ran ktrace/kdump on the process, and here are the last few lines of the output: 77402 vpasswd RET write 8192/0x2000 77402 vpasswd PSIG SIGSEGV SIG_DFL 77402 vpasswd NAMI vpasswd.core Can anyone tell me why I am getting segmentation faults? Let me know if you need any more info. The configuration of the system hasn't been changed and everything was working fine until recently, when the command started generating these errors.

Don't take this wrong, but that's like asking for car performance advice From some guy with a whaletail on his Sentra. Oh, don't get me wrong. I realize that this is about as close to eRicing as OS discussions get. I was wondering if there was any merit at all to this. I mean, adding a spoiler that makes your car look like a shopping cart is one thing. Putting a reasonable spoiler on a car is another as it is actually beneficial to some degree for more than just looks. I was trying to see where on the spectrum these optimizations were from reasonable to ricer. --roop ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mount_smbfs
Greetings: I am trying to use mount_smb to mount a share on a windows machine on my local area network. The problem is I think I need to authenticate with a domain controller to do so. I have tried a couple of things, but i have had no success. Here is what i have tried so far. Any thoughts? mount_smbfs -I ip address of the machine that has the share //username@net bios name/share name /mnt for username I have tried: the domain/username and just the username bare. I get the same results.

[SOLVED] Re: Segmentation Fault Question
Sorry for the quick post before everyone. Turns out that the problem WAS with vpopmail and wasn't a system wide thing. Basically an entry in a file was corrupt and had to be deleted.
