RE: Minimal system installation
Your just not going to be able to do this one as it is, you need to boot into FreeBSD in order to write a FreeBSD boot selector or boot loader on the hard disk. Borrow another laptop and temporairly move the hard drive from the first laptop to the second, then load FreeBSD onto it and move the disk back. Have you tried looking for a floppy for this laptop on Ebay? In theory if you had a copy of Norton Ghost you could ghost an image of the laptop hard disk running FreeBSD (obviously you would need another identical working laptop) then on your laptop you could dialup with a modem and download a packet driver and try running it under win98 DOS using a 3com 3c89 pcmcia card (which is one of the few pcmcia cards that will run a packet driver without card services) then running the ghost client, than pulling the image over the network. Incidentally you probably can't get the pcmcia slot to work because with a laptop that old, it's a 16 bit pcmcia card slot, and all the pcmcia cards sold today are 32 bit cardbus ones.

Tcpdump reports that I'm receiving incomplete packets, so I assume the five-second delays are timeouts on my box before a request for packet resends. What is tcpdump printing that makes you think that packets are incomplete? If you are manually decoding packets by looking at tcpdump -X output, make sure you also use -s 0 to grab the entire packet. This is from a tcpdump -s 0 -w tco -i ed0 port 80 run. Line 12 shows a truncation but no delay, interestingly enough; but I believe line 17 is the one that occurred when I saw 202 OK and a five-second delay.

Incidentally you probably can't get the pcmcia slot to work because with a laptop that old, it's a 16 bit pcmcia card slot, and all the pcmcia cards sold today are 32 bit cardbus ones. That 3c589 3com pcmcia card is your friend. It's not in production anymore but there's tons on Ebay. Ted How about this one...a laptop with the CD inoperable and the floppy missing. The PCMCIA controller may/may_not be fried because no known PCMCIA network card will work, but owing to the vagaries of Win98 who knows for sure. All we know presently is that the serial port works. Disk is OK and it has 40MB of memory. Add to that the fact that for ridiculously sentimental reasons I am reluctant to part with the darn thing, so as a last ditch effort I'd sure like to put *some* BSD on it. The question ishow? Ted, Thanks for an enormously helpful response, greatly appreciated. I think I'll leave the laptop on it's shelf for another few weeks/months and go hunt up a 3C589 PCMCIA card, then try yanking the H/D and proceeding as you outlined above. Somewhat tangentially I have a suspicion that the PCMCIA controller may well be cooked because if memory serves, I had one of those cards back when which worked and then abruptly failed. Wondering if the card itself had fried I popped it into a recent laptop and it immediately passed packets...at least that's my recollection. Nonetheless despite that gloomy outlook I'll still give this a shot with another card of the heritage you described. Thanks for taking the time to explain the why's/how's on this, I have a clearer view of the upcoming task now.

Im a FreeBSD user. I like FreeBSD because it does not have all the flashy installers and pretty GUI's that many linux distros seems to have today. That frankly isn't the reason you should like it. You should like it because it works better than most commercial operating systems let alone most operating systems. It does, and that is why I use it. Amiga was like that too. But still, Ive been screaming for years for someone to improve the website. Why? Anyone that has stood in front of a boardroom full of CEO's or similar and tried to promote the use of FreeBSD in a big organisation knows why. They might like all the facts about the os, the rock-solid stability, the lightning-fast performance and its solid reputation as a server os, but one look at the website and they will run screaming towards the nearest linux advocate instead. Most of the CEO's I've dealt with don't give a shit on a shingle about a product website. Why are you even talking to CEOs? This is a job for CTOs and/or CIOs, and if a company didn't have one you wound then be talking to a CFO or COO. What they care about is: 'can what I need done be done in a way that is a) cheap and b) works and c) won't lock me in to you' d) support. e) what everyone else uses. Most companys only care about d and e as windows is nether a, b, or c... umm how'd it go... No one ever got fired for buying IBM I've frankly never seen a Linux-vs-FreeBSD deal where Linux won if the consultant wanted to use FreeBSD, You assuming the consultant even knows about FreeBSD, most do not. and the customer was willing to deviate from Microsoft. Know your market, we are not trying to get them to switch to FreeBSD from Windows, we are the alternative to the alternative for a company that has already decide to go with the alternative instead of windows. VERY few customers are willing to deviate from Microsoft, at least not in the Western states. On the desktop yes, but where not talking about desktops here, where talking about servers and Linux has its claws all over the server market. We, the users, might not care about our image, but if we want to be taken seriously by the rest of the world we better do something about it! I would suggest that if you really are this lit up about this issue that you direct your customers to you OWN website which is quite obviously superior to the FreeBSD one. Now thats just asinine. Roger, you really need to be dumbing down your presentations, these CEO's your presenting to really don't understand all those big words. Instead of using FreeBSD use UNIX It's shorter and even the most sheltered of them understand that yooouu-nikx is something that runs computers like winders is. I'm sorry to say but anyone outside of IT/IS/MIS has no clue what UNIX is. at best they mistake it for Linux. And rather than telling them how many mega-bytes and giga-bits the nice new server is going to run at, just tell them it's going to be big, and fast and powerful like Arnold Schwartznegger. I agree with you about the megabit and bytes but you have gone to far to the other extreme, they are not stupid, the CEO's job is to keep the company afloat not know what a megabyte is, this is why we have CTOs and CIOs. In fact you might just consider hiring a professional salesperson that doesen't really know too much about what your selling. this is a good idea, I'd have to agree with him. You shouldn't even be talking about operating systems until you have sold them on yourself and your company, Again this is are target market; consultants, integrators, vars, etc. I bet 80% of them don't even know FreeBSD exists and of the 20% that do only 20% would consider using and recommending it based on technical merit alone.

Re: Printer
On 12/27/04 09:46 PM, Parv sat at the `puter and typed: in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Louis LeBlanc thusly... Some newer Lexmark printers do support standard protocols, but I went and spent $80 for a Lexmark color printer several years ago that spent more time working as a doorstop than a printer. They used - and still do for some printers - proprietary protocols, and release their own drivers - you guessed it - for Windows only. And sometimes not even for all versions of Windows. My one Windows system was NT, and it wasn't supported. At the time, I was a Linux user, and even the reverse engineered Linux drivers weren't able to get it working. Lest somebody gets the wrong idea that all Lexmark printers behave as descried above, my Optra E310 laser printer -- US$[23]00, 199[89] -- is still going strong. It worked/works in Windows 9[58], Me, XP. It of course just works, like a PS printer, in FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, and sure would in 5.x. Some few from that time period (very few, if I remember the weeks of research I wasted on my particular model) used standard protocols and could be easily made to work with any OS. The majority of Lexmark printers up to around 2002 (I think) used a proprietary protocol, and they guarded it like it was Microsoft code. I don't think they even released MacOS drivers. I believe most of their printers now use standard drivers, but that's still no guarantee they'll work with *nix systems. Some are explicitly supported through the various methods, but unless it was, I wouldn't even bother, myself. I'll never buy a Lexmark again, and if given one, I'll immediately put it on EBay or just give it to my front curb. It will be a HP or Lexmark laser printer for me. The one that does double-sided printing cheaply [cw]ould be the deciding factor for me; print-server would be a bonus. The HP PSC 2510 is network capable (wireless or ethernet), runs its own printserver, scans through a web based interface, so no scanner software hassle, copies, faxes, prints excellent photo quality, uses separate color and black cartriges (not quite as far along as the individual color yet) and works very well with Cups. And you can buy a part to make it print double sided. Definitely worth looking at. I had an old HP Laserjet 4 once upon a time. I loved that thing. If I had the room I would have kept it. It came to me by chance, and when I had to let it go, I gave it to a family friend for the flea market. You can't beat them for efficiency. I swear the toner cartrige was nearly half empty when I got it, but the darn thing lasted another 2 years anyway. Not real heavy printing, but moderate at least. I never tracked the printing use, but it was awesome. Mind that i am interested mainly in sharp and clear black/white text currently. Which would probably be a deciding factor in changing printers. My guess is you'll get another year or two with good maintennance. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that those standard protocol printers were decent quality, but the proprietary protocol models were mediocre at best. That might have been a factor in their abandoning it. I'm glad your experience with Lexmark has been better than mine. Myself, I'm pretty brand-loyal. When something works well for me, I stick with it. When a brand burns me, I avoid it like the plague unless circumstance forces me to take another chance.

Re: apache cant bind to port

RE: Streaming, real time MRTG solution?
You can query snmp data as fast as the snmp manager on the device your querying will spit it back to you. And you can redraw the mrtg graph as fast as the hardware can run the computations to redraw the pretty graphics. However there are practical limits. What would you rather have the CPU in your hub/switch/router do - run the snmp manager or move packets from one interface to another? most switches and routers I've worked with don't have the CPU power to run the snmp manager at the frequency that you want to have to make it look 'real time' and still do the job they are supposed to be doing. real time output is an illusion here.

Tcpdump reports that I'm receiving incomplete packets, so I assume the five-second delays are timeouts on my box before a request for packet resends. What is tcpdump printing that makes you think that packets are incomplete? If you are manually decoding packets by looking at tcpdump -X output, make sure you also use -s 0 to grab the entire packet. This is from a tcpdump -s 0 -w tco -i ed0 port 80 run.

Re: portupgrade vs. portmanager
On Tuesday 28 December 2004 10:03 am, you wrote: Does portmanager handle packages? If not any plans to do so? I would be happy to help with testing. portmanager only handles packages in that it builds back up packages of each port it updates, these packages are correctly build for your specific system. The problem with packages that you down load is they have to be built for the lowest common denominator, ie. lowest cpu that most are likely to have (486?, 586?), no options, etc, and they are usually built with out of date dependencies. As a test, install a package not allready on your system with a lot of dependencies like misc/sword for example then run portmanager. You'll see portmanager find everything about that package that is wrong for your system and then correct it, and it will also end up rebuilding misc/sword and making a new package of it. That new package will be built correctly for your system. After you are familiar with how portmanager works and if you still want to help with testing then yes I am very interested, please let me know. -Mike On Sat, 25 Dec 2004, Michael C.

Re: Migrate from Qmail to Postfix..
I want a real confirmation that you can copy the Maildir folders and move them to a different box with postfix running with the ability to continue as it was provided that the postfix was configured to use Maildir and also the domains that this mail server should accept for? Postfix does support Maildir. I've used Maildir+Postfix+Maildrop aswell as just Maildir+Postfix where virtual mailboxes are in maildir format. IIRC its just a matter of having the trailing slash on mailbox paths.

Looking for 'ideal' web-server partitions
I want to create a web server for a few personal web sites (virtual named hosts) using Apache, Perl, PHP and MySQL. Maybe later using mod_perl and ssl. No mail servers or other complicated stuff, just a plain-vanilla web server for the general public and an average visitor traffic of below 1000 per day. I have 40G to use up on an AMD Sempron 1300+ with 512MB and was just wondering what would be a good way to divvy up the partitions. I was thinking something like this: SWAP1024M / 1057M /db 6.3G /usr24G /var4.2G /www42G I've heard arguments for and against a separate /db and/or /tmp partition as well as using a /home. Also I see that there is a /usr/local/www directory already so perhaps the /www partition is not required. Is a separate /db partition really needed? I'm pretty confused and would like to setup my web server the right way once and for all. Are there any standard recipes and/or guides to figuring this out or is it just a bunch of guess work?

Re: Looking for 'ideal' web-server partitions
Without passing on your numbers here are some reason to partition: var - A good idea, I think, especially with apache. It keeps a nimba style dOs from filling your disk. / - Without a var partition I believe var is in '/' and not user. /var/log, var/mail, var/spool/mqueue can grow. Your var size seems reasonable to me. /etc/named can grow if you run named. This is only an issue if you make / as small as possible. Note 5.x needs more space than 4.x which needed more than 3.x and we have 6.x as the new current. Its really hard to resize '/' without starting over. You can of course symlink out all of the stuff mentioned. I would make '/' 2 times the current recommendation. swap - Some people use mfs for /tmp. Remember to add the size to swap if you do that. data - Separating data from /usr makes upgrading easier. Requirements on /usr have probably grown, maybe as much as for '/'. I also assume you have a db partition for MySQL. A reason you may want that as a separate partition would be to use the 5.x file system snapshot which might make taking live backups possible. At least you could minimize the length of the down. You could backup the DB on a different cycle and frequency from www. I think good arguments can be made for combining the db and www partitions. For example, if you undersize the db partition you would lose all those advantages. I am not sure if innoDB allows for live backups. If it does and you needed that I would use innoDB and one partition. On my main work station I took the 4.x defaults of: /dev/ad0s2a 62M45M13M78%/ /dev/ad0s2f 14G 7.8G 5.0G61%/usr /dev/ad0s2e 62M17M40M29%/var procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc and I wish I had made a data partition which would make going to 5.3 a whole bunch easier. All my servers have a data partition. On my laptop I take the autoconfig and just start fresh when going to FreeBSD [n+1].0. I hope this helps On Tue, 28 Dec 2004, Frank J.

Make it slightly larger, say 500M. B) again, im not sure what you are trying to accomplish with /db C) 4G for /var is pretty generous. I run a medium size webserver, and my /var is only 2G. D) separating /www isnt really nescessary, though theres really no downside to this. Here would be my partitioning sceme. 1024M - SWAP 300M - / 2G - /var the rest - /usr linking /tmp to /usr/tmp is generally a good idea in my book. Hope this helps.

Re: loading firewall rules dynamically at higher security levels

quick help ...
Hi guys i was able to get the kde installed and i must say ... was beyound my expectations ... but the only thing that i was unable to get/understand is: 1. When i restart my computer i get a screen with 7 options ... i just press enter for the defaul and it enters FreeBSD ... do i have to do that every time i restart or there is a quicker way? 2. I don't get a logon screen i still have to log into root or andrei and use startx (since i couldn't find sessions in login manager (under system administration). 3. My user account which is andrei doesn't have a Gui (kde since is the only one installed and the only one that i'll use. ... i have modified the Xsession (added just kde) and Xsetup_0 (added /usr/local/bin/kdmdesktop) and ttys (changed the xdm to kdm) ... I appreciate all the help given and hopefully after getting the user to work i'll be able to figure thinks out b myself/research more) ... Keep up the good work (and on a personal note does gates use a *nix platform in his house with all that shit going on there? ... i mean hell .. with the chip installed for personal prefference the toilet might flush and splash him) Sorry. ... thank you ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE crashes on Dell PowerEdge 2850
I have installed FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE i386 on a new Dell PowerEdge 2850, but it crashes under load. I can't figure why. Has anyone succeeded running FreeBSD 5.3 on this hardware? Following is the output from console made by two random crashes. Crash #1: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x24 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc039733e stack pointer = 0x10:0xee15dc44 frame pointer = 0x10:0xee15dc6c code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 122 (pagedaemon) trap number = 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 0 boot() called on cpu#0 Uptime: 4m58s Cannot dump.

The server has following configuration: 2x Intel Xeon 3.4 GHz (800 MHz FSB), 6x 1 GB DDR2 ECC RAM and Perc 4e/Di (LSI Logic/amr driver). I have compiled the kernel with SMP of course and PAE because of 4 GB memory. I have removed all the unnecessary devices. I have been running memtest (http://www.memtest.org/) without any errors. Would it maybe be better to run the AMD64 version of FreeBSD 5.3? I think the i386 version should be more stable? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Dual boot WinXP and FreeBSD 5.3
On Mon, 27 Dec 2004, Tom Connolly wrote: Hello list. I wish to put FreeBSD 5.3 on a new hard drive and have it dual boot with the existing Windows XP system (separate HD). Can I just simply go through the FreeBSD install and have it install the FreeBSD boot manager/loader on the XP drive? I can't risk doing any damage to the XP system as it has a thermal analyzer program on it that won't run on FreeBSD (otherwise I would have no use for XP at all). I would like to know if there are any gotchas or anything that could be a problem. I would really like to hear comments from anyone who has set up such a system. I tried this a few months ago using only the FreeBSD boot manager, and couldn't get anywhere with it. The solution I ultimately ended up using was GRUB. /usr/ports/sysutils/grub It's very complicated, or at least I thought so, but it's very flexible too. On my system, I've got: Primary Master IDE = Windows XP drive Primary Slave IDE = none Secondary Master IDE = CD drive Secondary Slave IDE = FreeBSD And some raid drives that don't really enter into this... WinXP is on the primary master drive because WinXP just isn't happy being mounted anywhere else... You come up with drives like E instead of C and all kinds of other nonstandard stuff, so it's simpler just to play along with Microsoft and make it your primary master drive. The arrangement of the other drives just happened to be what was most convenient for the cabling. This is the configuration file I created to get this to work with GRUB - default 0 timeout 6 title FreeBSD color red/black light-red/black root(hd0,0,a) kernel /boot/loader title WinXP color blue/black light-blue/black map (hd0) (hd2) map (hd2) (hd0) root(hd2,0) makeactive chainloader +1 -- The default 0 and timeout 6 means it boots FreeBSD by default after 6 seconds. The next two blocks describe the two menu choices I get. The menu color settings, as it turns out, don't work. I'm not sure why. I haven't cared enough to investigate further. The root and map directives tell GRUB where to find the partition I want to boot. GRUB has its own mysterious way of counting the drives. It counts my drives backwards from what I think it should, so that's why I have to do all the mapping and why FreeBSD boots off hd0 instead of hd2 or hd3. The kernel directive in the FreeBSD section and the makeactive,chainloader +1 directives in the WinXP section tell the machine where to continue the booting process. All of this is described in the documentation. Since the machine boots from the WinXP disk by default since it's the primary master and has a bootable partition on it, I had to install GRUB onto that disk. GRUB made a bootable floppy that took care of that for me. I still keep that floppy around just in case I ever need to reinstall Windows. Hopefully you'll find a much simpler solution than I did. I just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with GRUB, and that with enough persistence and study, I think it could make just about any dual-boot configuration work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
x86 files
Hey, my names Julian and I seem to be having a problem on your site. I see all the other platforms but I can't find the freebsd files for x86 platforms. In supported platforms it says, with the exception of x86, since most of the information on the remainder of the site already pertains to that platform However, I can't find anywhere on the site for the files to x86 platforms. I'm just stupid, can you just send me a link to the file through this email. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
