Problem when SSH-ing to FreeBSD 5.3 using PuTTY?
Hi all, On two distinct machines (both running FreeBSD 5.3 release, one is the AMD-64 version, the other is the i386 version) I am experiencing problems when trying to SSH to the machine using PuTTY. PuTTY shows the login prompt just fine, but when entering the proper username/password (yes, I am positive I typed it correctly -multiple times, in fact- :) ). Yet, for some reason this combination does not seem to get accepted. Does anyone know the reason for this (note: I am not starting the SSH daemon from inetd)? Is there perhaps some (new) setting that changed between 5.2.1 and 5.3 that causes this, or am I doing something else terribly wrong? :) Thanks in advance for any answers, and cheers!

apachectl oddness
I'm running standard freeBSD 4.9 and am port upgrading apache2. I think the old version was 2.50_3 and the new is 2.52_4. In the latest build I have added WITH_THREADS=1 as I need this for mod_python. I notice now that apachectl startssl has problems reading the pass phrase. I normally do this through the web using ssh/su and find that my putty terminal gets locked up when I enter the phrase at the prompt. The apachectl startssl fails for the first pass phrase entry at the console, but the second seems to work. I had to kill the previously hung httpd process.

Sil 3114 RAID controller issues with FreeBSD 5.3 Release AMD-64
Hi, A client of mine asked me to install their AMD-64 machine as a MySQL database server. Totally against my strong suggestion to use a proper SCSI hardware RAID 10 solution (or at least a hardware SATA RAID solution), they insist on using the internal Sil 3114 software RAID controller in RAID 1 mode. Now, this 'cost reduction' from them backfires, as FreeBSD 5.3 Release AMD-64 does not properly recognise this controller. First, it locks up when booting with ACPI enabled (easily fixable by either disabling ACPI in the BIOS, or by booting without ACPI), then the bootstrap loader first seemingly does recognise the RAID 1 array (at least it states something to the effect of Drive C from BIOS..., but when the installation CD-ROM has booted, lo and behold! It does not see both drives as an array, but as separate drives! I looked around a bit on the Internet, and seemingly this issue started to occur around mid june last year with FreeBSD 5.3 versions for these type of Silicon RAID controllers. Now, of course I am still trying to get my client to do it properly and forget this el-cheapo RAID solution and simply buy a hardware RAID controller, but if I can't succeed in convincing them, I'd really like to enable the RAID array of this controller after all. Does anyone know how this can be achieved? Is it possible to patch the device driver once FreeBSD is installed, and somehow get FreeBSD to build the RAID array? Thanks in advance, and cheers!

When xterm gets invoked, the whole of the code gets loaded into memory for execution, and there is no reason why it would look at the disk copy again. If you upgrade the xterm binary, nothing will happen to xterms that are already running. If you create new ones, you will get the new version. I am more surprised that there are still any udpdates being made to xterm - it must have been essentially stable for years now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That was because, if one places the cursor over the green button, a box appears temporarily bearing a line that says, Click here to make this CD/DVD bootable.

Just an additional note for clarity: If I understand - and I don't have the rest of the thread so I may be missing something - you want to make a bootable CD of one of the ISO images. In that case, you do NOT want to use any of the options on your local machine to create a bootable CD because the ISO image is already a bootable image. It needs merely to be written raw to the media. When your utility asks if you want to create a bootable CD, it is asking if you want it to add a boot record for it and the other pointers to the file to make it bootable. Since the FreeeBSD ISO already has that stuff in it, you don't want it done again. So, choose the options that just write the data image directly to the CD with no additions. No, no. This is wrong. You missed the explanation I posted regarding Sonic RecordNow!, as well as an earlier one by Robin Becker. The green button is the only way to tell the application that the file(s) it is to burn is/are image file(s), and it doesn't know that .iso files are a type of image file, so it doesn't list them in its browser unless you tell it to display *all* files in the chosen directory.

network slows 1000x
Hello, I have a Duron based FreeBSD box (4.10-current) that I am using as a nat box. Kernel is recompiled with options. When a lot of traffic flows across the interface from internal to external networks, I find that the natd appears to get congested, making ping times to the next hop (still on my network) go from .1 ms to 1000s of ms. Rebooting fixes it Nothing is reported in dmesg (I upgraded from 4.6 where I saw this problem) then there would be this message about queue lengths...

Re: Problem when SSH-ing to FreeBSD 5.3 using PuTTY?
Hi Jon, You did not state the version of Putty you are using. Hmmm, good one. I just checked and it is version 0.50. Try the latest version, (release 0.56) I beleive. There was a problem in earlier versions of Putty with keyboard-interactive method of authentication. I'll give that a shot. It's quite interesting that it would work with fbsd 5.2.1 (and earlier) and not with fbsd 5.3, but it might indeed be the culprit. Either way: after the weekend I shall let you guys know what the culprit was. :) Cheerz and 'ave a good weekend!

Re: Sil 3114 RAID controller issues with FreeBSD 5.3 Release AMD-64
Hi Erik, Thanks for your answer! I don't think FreeBSD supports the SiI 3114 as a RAID controller, but only as a normal controller. All the RAID stuff for that controller is done in software anyway, but FreeBSD needs to know what format the BIOS uses for a RAID setup, and it doesn't. Indeed that is what I also fear, hence my reluctance at having to spend much time trying to figure out a way to enable this controller for RAID purposes, whereas it is an -IMO- bad choice anyway to use this for their RAID strategy. :((( I guess you could set up a pure software RAID-1 solution using vinum, but not having done that myself I can't say for sure. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-vinum.html for information on how to use and setup vinum. Yes, that would probably be another option. Again it would have the same downside though: I've never done this before, so I'll have to spend time getting that going. In this case, time IS money, so that's why I'm trying to convince my client to better spend that money (and my time) on simply buying a supported hardware RAID controller, which really is a win-win situation for both my client and myself. However, somehow I've not yet been able to drive that argument home, so who knows...:/ Oh well, enough of this rant - surely someday they'll see the light. Until then, I'll just continue to scream in the desert. ;) Cheerz!

possible issue with pam
On Tue, Dec 02, 2003 at 11:17:41PM -0500, Barry Hawkins wrote: List, Hello. I have recently begun to encounter an issue with changing passwords on my 5.1 installation. I haven't touched anything on it for a few months, and the last change-related activity I had were some portupgrade tasks to rid myself of the libintl.so.4 issue solved with portupgrade -R gettext back around September 2003. I am wondering if anyone has experienced an issue similar to mine. When I attempt to use passwd to change my password, I get the following upon successfully re-typing the password: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module If anyone has insight on this I would be grateful. A search of the list for pam_chauthtok only revealed one person asking a similar question related to yppasswd. Compare your /etc/pam.d configuration against the sources in /usr/src/etc/pam.d to make sure you have not damaged your pam configuration by mis-merging changes. Also make sure you have no /etc/pam.conf file, which was removed a long time ago. Kris Hi Kris, I've had a similar issue with a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE box for an account belonging to the 'wheel' group. I last changed the password for this account successfully roughly two months ago and since then I haven't changed anything at all. Now when I try to change the password for this account using root it prompts me with the below error message. root:/etc#passwd user_name Changing local password for user_name New Password: Retype New Password: passwd: entry inconsistent passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module I get the same error message when trying to change the password using the same account as well. I have carefully verified that I did indeed enter the same string for the password verification. I have done the checks you have recommended in the above mail. The only differences are the /etc/pam.d has an additional file 'ftp'. The /usr/src/etc/pam.d contain two additional files Makefile convert.pl. Appreciate any suggestions on what might be causing this behaviour and how I might be able to resolve the problem. Also, is this at all any sign of my system being compromised?

Re: source control question
Robert William Vesterman wrote: Does anyone know of a source control system that is not so directory-centric? Most of the ones I've seen seem to have a base assumption that, more or less, directory == project. But in reality, a directory could be a project, or part of a project, or part of many projects, or merely structural (i.e. merely to organize subdirectories, any of which may or may not be used in any number of projects, each project of which is not necessarily completely contained in the structural parent directory). And a project may span many directories, each of which is not necessarily anywhere near the others in the overall repository tree structure, and whose repository tree neighbors are not necessarily parts of the same project. For example, you may have top level repository things like work and personal, which are completely structural. And maybe utils, which you might use in both work and personal projects. And then if you use some Java, and do the standard way of making packages (com.mydomain.blah.blah.blah), you'll probably have a java directory outside of work and personal, having a whole tree of subdirectories, any of which may be a complete project, part of a project, part of many projects, et cetera. And a project may be spread across personal and java and utils and any number of other organizational things. I'm sure there are ways to bend things like Subversion into kind of behaving the way I want, but are there any systems that are actually designed with this concept in mind?

gif interface with IPSec spontaneously stopping working
I have to machines on a community wireless network with static IP addresses. These machines are used to form a VPN over the CWN, providing a secure routed path between two private networks. To secure the link I am using gif interfaces at each end to form the tunnel, and then we are using IPsec with a pre-shared key. This link seems very stable for a couple of days, but then it will just stop without any warning or errors. When I do a tcp dump at the physical interface (not the virtual gif interface) I see the ISAKMP messages being exchanged between the racoon daemons on each box: 02:20:20.948965 10.192.8.1.isakmp 10.192.9.33.isakmp: isakmp: phase 1 I agg: [|sa] 02:20:20.966082 10.192.9.33.isakmp 10.192.8.1.isakmp: isakmp: phase 1 R agg: [|sa] 02:20:21.036640 10.192.8.1.isakmp 10.192.9.33.isakmp: isakmp: phase 1 I agg: (hash: len=20) 02:20:21.065342 10.192.8.1.isakmp 10.192.9.33.isakmp: isakmp: phase 2/others I oakley-quick[E]: [encrypted hash] 02:20:21.069884 10.192.9.33.isakmp 10.192.8.1.isakmp: isakmp: phase 2/others R oakley-quick[E]: [encrypted hash] 02:20:21.077303 10.192.8.1.isakmp 10.192.9.33.isakmp: isakmp: phase 2/others I oakley-quick[E]: [encrypted hash] But then the data doesn't start to flow. If I go and destroy the gif interface and then re-create it with the same settings it comes back straight away, and I see the exact same pattern of isakmp packets. Can anyone suggest what could be wrong? The machines are running 5.2.1 p9 and p11(I am building the world and kernel for 5.3 on each box now), but assuming an upgrade to 5.3 doesn't resolve the issue, where can I start with the investigation to find why the interface is dropping out? Is there a way to get error logging or diagnostics out of gif interfaces? Does it sound more like an interface or IPsec issue? I hope someone can help!

netatalk, NFS, OS X and backup
I need some advice about integrating my FreeBSD server with some Macs running OS X. I have a server running FreeBSD 5.3 with NFS and netatalk enabled, a Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.3.7 and they are connected through a wireless network. I used the Powerbook to administer the server using ssh, which works well. I would also like to use the server to backup files (for multiple users) from the Powerbook. I have played around with both NFS and netatalk (afpd) and both seem to be working, in that I can manually mount the shares on the Powerbook. I have got the NFS share to automount on the Powerbook but not the afp share. I can copy files to and from both the nfs and afp mounted shares, including resource forks. I have played with various backup utilities including rsync, psync and rdiff-backup with varying degrees of success. Some observations/questions 1. netatalk afp seems consistently and significantly faster than nfs. Is this to be expected or might I have a problem with nfs? If so how do I diagnose and fix it? 2. I would prefer to use nfs, because I can automount it on the Powerbook and run a cron (actually anacron) script to backup the multiple users. I haven't yet worked out how (or if) I can do this with afp (this is really a Mac question I know). 3. I would like to use a backup scheme which is automatic, invisible to the user, yet configured in a way that the archive can be navigated, and files appear in folders on the Mac finder in a consistent way (with resource forks set up correctly). All of this seems almost possible, yet I don't seem to have got it just right yet. Has anyone one any insight they can spread or experiences they can share of a similar set up?

FreeBSD trashed after installing Win98SE in lower partition - what to do?
My questions have to do with the mess I have left after trying to do a dual-boot system with Win98SE and FreeBSD 4.9+. After running the FreeBSD system for nearly a year, and loving it, I finally got around to digging up the media I needed to do the Win98SE install, and my FreeBSD partition is now unbootable. This, obviously, is very disturbing. I'll start off with an overview, and then providing increasingly greater detail. 1) Install a placeholder C: partition of just under 2Gb for future Windows installation. 2) Install FreeBSD in the remaining 65% of the drive, run happily for a year 3) Fail in installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 in the placeholder Windows partition, rendering computer unusable (BootMgr just beeps) 4) Recreate the Windows boot partition type by hand - the C: drive is now gone, but FreeBSD works for weeks. 5) Finally get around to digging up and installing a copy of Windows 98SE. 6) Reinstall BootMgr, so helpfully ripped out by Windows. FreeBSD now blows up on trying to boot. Windows 98 works (well, as well as 98SE ever works). The questions I'm going to get to and need answers for, based on the details to follow are 1) What did I do wrong(other than using an MS-operating system, that's just a series of unfortunate events which are unavoidable)? 2) Do I have any viable options other than just reinstalling at this point (in which case, I might as well just go with 5.3 and be done with it)? 3) Will this happen again if I need to reinstall Win98se? What if I install XP? Do I need to make any adjustments to my fdisk partitions ward off problems in the future? 4) Is there any action I can take to help prevent others from experiencing the pain I have just unwittingly inflicted on myself? In a little greater detail, this is what I did: 1) Partition and format a placeholder C: drive of just under 2Gb (1980Mb) in the first part of the disk, and format a C: drive there. 2) Install FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE on the rest of the drive, and use CVSup on a different computer to track things for awhile (That's how I got to stable+). Run happily for a nearly a year, with KDE, OpenOffice, and other fun toys and productive tools. 3) Decide that, since I'm not using the Windows partition yet anyway, maybe it would be fun and productive to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 in that partition to see if some of the laptop-specific things that don't in FreeBSD 4 (like suspend/resume, automatic battery monitoring, etc). This process failed, because FreeBSD 5.2.1, even though it would BOOT from the CD-ROM drive, would not recognize it once the MFS system was up and running! I tried again with an NFS install after booting the MFS system, but that hung after having scribbled on the disk (still don't know why - gave up. This, incidentally, wiped out the original Win98SE C drive formatting, which may, ultimately, have been a part of my problems, or maybe it has nothing to do with it - any insight here would be appreciated.) 4) The system was now unusable. BootMgr would just beep at me, regardless of whether I picked F1 or F2. I used the bootable CD sysinstall program to manually change the partition type of the first back to 12 as it had been when when the placeholder DOS/Win98 filesystem lived there. The system was now, apparently, back to normal. Although there was nothing to boot in the F1 partition, F2 brought up my FreeBSD 4.9+ system just fine. I had had the DOS/Windows partition mounted as an msdos filesystem and I had to remove that from /etc/fstab, but otherwise, it seemed fine and I used it for weeks. 5) My son got some Windoze software for Christmas that would not run on our old Windoze desktop, so I finally got around to installing Windows 98SE, which installed and runs fine. 6) Windows so helpfully overwrote the MBR, eliminating the BootMgr. I used the bootable CD and sysinstall AGAIN to restore BootMgr 7) FreeBSD blows chunks when it tries to boot. That covers the sequence of events in more detail, so let's go deep with information and what I've done since. The hardware is a Compaq Armada M700 laptop with a Pentium-III 650, 320Mb of RAM, and a 6Gb hard drive (Toshiba MK6015MAP) with a kernel-reported geometry of c12416, h15, and s63, and a Compaq CRN-8241B CD-ROM.

Re: FreeBSD trashed after installing Win98SE in lower partition - what to do?
The questions I'm going to get to and need answers for, based on the details to follow are 1) What did I do wrong(other than using an MS-operating system, that's just a series of unfortunate events which are unavoidable)? As a rule of thumb don't install Windows AFTER a BSD / Linux. It really could care less about boot partitions. Windows2000 and XP you can modify the bootloader to load BSD, but I don't know about Win98. It's been a LONG time :) 2) Do I have any viable options other than just reinstalling at this point (in which case, I might as well just go with 5.3 and be done with it)? Probably your partition is still there, it just doesn't know how to get to it. I don't remember the specifics, but you should be able to just rebuild the boot MBR. 3) Will this happen again if I need to reinstall Win98se? What if I install XP? Do I need to make any adjustments to my fdisk partitions ward off problems in the future? In this day an age if you HAVE to have Windows, then XP is the only way to go. 4) Is there any action I can take to help prevent others from experiencing the pain I have just unwittingly inflicted on myself? Install Windows first and then BSD. If you have to install afterwards, the XP bootloader is pretty painless if you want to have a option to boot FreeBSD from it.

Use the default 888. It seems to get confused occasionally when its not on
that port (although I have a few RELENG_4 boxes on non standard ports that
work fine). I have a couple of boxes running RELENG_5 on the 7xxx and 8xxx

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Re: openoffice on 5.3-RELEASE
Thanks! I was able to find OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz and get that installed and working. I still had the bad user interface fonts, but I found that to be a problem with my xorg config, and I (mostly) fixed it. I sitll have some minor 'ticks' snuggled inside my r's, n's, e's and g characters, but not nearly as bad as before. I just started using Xorg over Xfree86 this week, and apparantly, font handling, or at least the ports are a little different. Just a couple more questions: If I keep my ports tree cvsup'd every day, I'm going to have: openoffice-1.1.3 needs updating (port has 1.1.3_1) We generally do a portupgrade -a to upgrade ports unless /usr/ports/UPDATING affects us. How can I get around the openoffice discrepency since a portupgrade -a will always try build it again and end up failing? Also, what are the folks up on ootranslation.services doing to get this package built that can't be done with the source for 1.1.3_1 on 5.3, why can't this port on 5.3, and if it is failing, shouldn't it be marked as 'broken' on 5.3?

IPFW and whois lookup
Hello, I have recently setup IPFW on a test box, and found that (for the most part) it was pretty straight forward. Every rule and service on the box seems to work great, except for one problem I haven't been able to track down. Regardless of the settings, even when set to open as default with only the allow all from any to any rule, whois and hostname lookups fail. This problem prevented clamav from updating, and a whole slew of other minor issues that pop up in the logs. I was hoping someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed? When IPFW is enabled: When the service uses the local NS, a manual whois gives: whois: connect(): No route to host When the service uses the upstream NS, a manual whois gives: whois: com.whois-servers.net: hostname nor servname provided, or not known (NS as set in resolv.conf) The only way I can make the error 'go away' is to disable ipfw in rc.conf and reboot. I am certain that this is just a silly oversight on my part. The machine is running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p13, please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that will be useful. Thank you very much, in advance, for the help.

This seems pretty safe to me. When xterm gets invoked, the whole of the code gets loaded into memory for execution, and there is no reason why it would look at the disk copy again. If you upgrade the xterm binary, I haven't looked at the code, but your assertion is extremely unlikely. I really want to say impossible but as I said, I haven't looked at the code. If FreeBSD loaded entire executable images into RAM when starting new processes, it would perform very poorly. What is more likely is that the kernel keeps the image file open during program execution. When the xterm binary is replaced, the old binary is still on disk in its old location, it just doesn't have any directory entries pointing to it. Since the kernel still has the file open it won't be overwritten. Hence the kernel can and will still load pages from the old image. This is a function of the same behaviour that causes df and du output to differ in some cases. The lsof(8) utility seems to bear this out, as each process seems to keep each image (program and shared object files) open during execution.

SCSI HD issue ...
Picking up on that SCSI hardware problem I posted about earlier ... I'm in the process of installing a second HD which will, hopefully, be the replacement for the one I believe is flaky. I've installed the second drive. I used dd to copy over to each partition (Yes, I know this is not the right way to do that ... I'll be using dump or tar next time. Thanks to Subhro for pointing that out...) However ... Now I have the following situation: da2 is the bad disc that I am still using. da0 is going to be the new disc.

A new instance of xterm would use the new, upgraded binary. When you run a program the program that runs the new one makes a copy of itself in the process table and they share code pages. This is done through fork(). At that point the new process, called the child, calls one of the exec() function calls which in turn calls a single syscall, execve(). execve() uses namei() to get the vnode pointer. Each vnode pointer has three ference counts, v_usecount, v_holdcnt and v_writecount. A vnode is not recycled until both the usecount and holdcnt are 0. When namei() is called it calls VREF() which is vref() which does vp-v_usecount++; so if it's running the page can't be recycled from a point in time before the program actually is loaded in to memory. execve() calls exec_map_first_page(). Without tearing this apart I'm going to guess that this memory maps the first page of text (code) through the VM subsystem as evidenced by the conspicuous calls to vm_page*() functions so I'd conclude the file is memory mapped. Presuming it turns out the command you're calling isn't a shell script or other script execve() cleans up the environment so file descriptors and signal handlers don't get shared, the processes environment is setup, lets the calling (forking) process know it can continue on it's merry way, sets uid/gid if necessary/possible, and it looks like the scheduler takes care of the rest (I'll be honest here, the code seems to trail off here so far as I can tell in to parts that are jumped to in case of error). In any case we have a increased usecount. Now we are going to unlink that file and create a new one. After some basic checks (you can't remove the root of a file system for example) unlink() will call VOP_REMOVE() which calls vrele() which deincrements the usecount when it's greater than one, which in this case it MUST be because the xterm process has one count on it and the file entry has another (hard links to the file may have additional counts on it). Therefore it appears that you can unlink the file, it will remain on the disk to serve the memory mapped image used for the running process and install a new copy. I'm going to presume when a process exits it de-increments the usecount for the vnode, which, when 0 should put the page on the free list. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

About ports dist
Hi.. I have 2 very quick questions/comment about installation from the FreeBSD CDs, and X-window: When I try to install the X.org distribution, it sends an error message that says it cannot find the packages/INDEX on the specified media. I checked on the CD 2, and there it is, the full ports collection, but the index file is named INDEX-5 instead of INDEX, so I think it might be the problem. If someone knows how to install all ports from the CDs, can you tell me to this mail, I will be very thankful for it..! The second question is: when I execute 'Xorg' at the prompt, it starts the graphics display, but I have no windows nor desktops, nothing but the mouse pointer. Do I have to install something else ? (Maybe from ports collection - which one?) I am relatively new to UNIX, my platform is i386, I downloaded the ISO CD images from the ftp site and I burned those images to the CDs (I see the files/dirs on the CD, not the ISO file itself) Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
