Actually, there is no registered system number, as there is no registration process ... that was the key requirement for doing this, was that it was as hands off as possible, and having to go to a web site to register each and every host was just too onerous of a task ... Yeah. You've leapt on the word 'register' there, and not addressed the salient point. 'Register' as in 'become cognisant of', and distinguished from 'signed up to.' Even though the process is simplified and automatic, you're still registering systems. Having some sort of return from the central stats machine when the periodic script runs, (rather than nothing at all, as at the moment) would be a good idea. Giving each system an index number shouldn't cost too much.

Re: Thin terminals for FreeBSD
Nagy László wrote: Hello, I need to setup an environment where some users (10 to 20 employees) will use terminals to run programs. They need to run a few popular programs: thunderbird, firefox, adobe acrobat, openoffice and gaim. This site will be a customer service. We decided to reduce the costs by using Open Source software and cheap terminal computers. This is a good solution because most of the users will read messages and images on the screen and they can share the same processor and memory easily. I know that I can setup cheap computers and use its X server as a terminal for another central computer. This solution still requires new (or used) computers. I would like to reduce the costs to the minimum. Here are some key questions that I could not answer: - Is there a more cost-effective solution? (Something that I did not think of) - How much RAM will I need? Will FireFox Thunderbird and OpenOffice load shared objects and reduce the overall memory usage? Or should I reserve 256MB of memory for each client? - Do I need to use gigabit ethernet? Or is it enough to use a normal 100 Mbps wired network? I heard that there can be bandwidth problems when using many terminals, but I do not have experience. - Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of? It would be perfect to provide links to some articles or manuals - I do not need anyone to write detailed instuctions and do my job. I'm asking for help because the handbook was not very useful in this case. I only found this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/term.html#TERM-X It does not help too much, and there is no know-how. I really need to know what hardware I need to buy. Remember that the main cost is maintenance, not the hardware. I think that the way to do it is not dumb terminals in the old sense, but rather sharing disks, while each terminal runs processes separately and have lot's of RAM - 1GB. 100Mbps network should be ok, just make sure it's switched (which all are nowadays), it's only loading the applications that is slow - once up, there is not much on the network when applications run on the client and there is plenty of RAM. I would think that more RAM gives better user experience than faster network. Some recommends booting off a flashrom, but the disadvantage is upgrading the base system has to be done on each client. For example: Buy some mini-itx MB's with 1GB ram. For desktop use, processor is not important, RAM is. So get some fanless MB's. I have found that VIA MB's are easy to work with, support pxeboot, see this site: www.mini-itx.com. Then you need one file server to allow NFS mount of everything. I sat down and wrote about it, but I never got through to have a working diskless with all the bells and whistles, see this article: www.daemonsecurity.com/pub/pxeboot/ Other sources are the pxe and diskless articles in www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/ Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org X.509 Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/8D03551FFCE04F0C.crt Key ID: 69:79:B8:2C:E3:8F:E7:BE:5D:C3:C3:B1:74:62:B8:3F:9F:1F:69:B9 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Although I have a couple of big file systems on FreeBSD, it is not a pretty sight if there is some sort of problem. Recently our colo lost power. The two boxes that needed manually fixing were the two big file system boxes. Background fsck did not fix them. To compare, we have one almost identical box running Linux. It came straight back up courtesy of ext3. Ignoring all the suggestions to get UPS (the colo had generator backed UPS which failed), etc, problems can/do happen. And when they do, journalling for big file systems is very useful. The single most important thing missing for me in FreeBSD is a journalling file system as I would use it on every box. You don't need to do anything more to manage big file systems per se. How big a file system are you going to create? What are you going to use it for?

Appart from those lines in /etc/make.conf I didn't change anything regarding to the build of sendmail Regards, Need more info. How did you recompile Sendmail? For instance, I did a minimal install, updated my ports, installed cvsup-without-gui fastest-cvsup, cvsupped my sources, ran a buildworld to get the base system up to date, then added the following to make.conf: snip Example In the instances I had a screwup in which I could not resolve, I've made the following bonehead moves: 1. Ran make installworld without dropping to single-user mode 2. cvsupped to the wrong source tree due to my ignorance of the tags in the cvsup file. My latest misadventures with getting PLAIN LOGIN working were on systems where I did everything correctly, but installed a number of ports prior to messing with the MTA. This included Apache, PHP, MySQL, Squirrelmail, XOrg, KDE-lite, and whatever dependencies were needed. The same issue occured with trying to get PLAIN AUTH working with Postfix, and on a second box with Sendmail. I ended up reinstalling, and focused on getting the MTA and SASL2 working immediately after getting the system up to date, and had no issues. IMHO, worry about getting PLAIN LOGIN working before messing with compiling SSL support into Sendmail. In my experience, configuring SSL can be a pain, making sure everything is where it's supposed to be. Best regards, Greg Groth Basically it would be the following: Installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, minimal install ; manually added the extra stuff I wanted. Installed a lot of the usual stuff: Apache, php, smnmpd. Then some time ago I decided I also wanted to run a mailserver so Installed imap-uw and cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd. Added: # SASL (cyrus-sasl v2) sendmail build flags...

Re: Large File System?
Well ext3 can have problems too - I've had numerous problems with that, and had to revert back to ext2 to get the filesystem to mount. XFS is much better.

Although I have a couple of big file systems on FreeBSD, it is not a pretty sight if there is some sort of problem. Recently our colo lost power. The two boxes that needed manually fixing were the two big file system boxes. Background fsck did not fix them. To compare, we have one almost identical box running Linux. It came straight back up courtesy of ext3. Ignoring all the suggestions to get UPS (the colo had generator backed UPS which failed), etc, problems can/do happen. And when they do, journalling for big file systems is very useful. The single most important thing missing for me in FreeBSD is a journalling file system as I would use it on every box. You don't need to do anything more to manage big file systems per se. How big a file system are you going to create? What are you going to use it for?

AFAIK, the FreeBSD loader sets the boot flag on the selected partition, so that becomes the default at next boot. I don't think it can do what you want. However, you might try grub or any of the other boot managers in the ports, or simply use the WinXP loader. It's easy enough to set up. If both WinXP and FreeBSD are installed on the same disk, copy /boot/boot1 to, say, C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. If they're on different devices, then you'll need to copy /boot/boot0 instead, BUT DON'T GET THIS WRONG! Then change the default line to read default=C:\BOOTSECT.BSD and add this to the [operating systems] section: C:\BOOTSECT.BSD=FreeBSD And you're set.

This is a USB, 802.11g adapter. Please note that the hardware version number is important as some manufacturers like to change chipsets without changing model numbers. This adapter uses the ural driver. When I plugged the adapter into the USB port, it was identified correctly as ural0. Network configuration using ifconfig was standard, except that the wlan_wep module had to be loaded manually before the adapter could be configured with a WEP code. You can find a list of compatible, adapters in the ural man page. Remember to pay close attention to hardware version numbers. FYI, when I get around to it, I will be submitting patches to usbdevs to support the Nova Tech NV902W Unwire USB 802.11b/g adapter. It also uses the ural driver and works great with two caveats. One is that (along with all ural NICs, it seems) is unstable with wpa so I had to go back to wep. The other caveat is that the link light does not come on, but it does when run under Windows.

Booting more than 4 OSes from a hard disk?

I think this is possible on other archs with SCSI. What boot manager am I supposed to use? Does it require setting something on the BIOS?

Re: Booting more than 4 OSes from a hard disk?
Windows 2000+ can boot on an extended partition as can linux, the BSDs, I think OS/2 warp+ can as well. So you can still only have 4 primary partitions, but you probably only need one that has a bootloader like GRUB on it marked active and the OSs installed all on extended partitions. I've even supprisingly confirmed if GRUB is installed windows won't install it's own bootloader. At least with Win2000sp4 this was the case the one time I tried... I would use GRUB cause its simple, fits on a floppy and is easy to install from that booting floppy. It shouldn't require any special booting options other then boot from harddrive. I would guess BSD doesn't care where it boots from in terms of sectors on the HD, but making a bootloader do this is something I wouldn't be able to answer. Although I know Grub allows you to chainload an arbritary number of sectors from the bootsector so I would look into that for exotic boots as you allude too. -brian --- Girish Venkatachalam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, I was wondering if the 4 primary parition booting limit still exists.

Re: Booting more than 4 OSes from a hard disk?
Master boot records are limited to four which is where the limit comes from. It is theoretically possible to have the MBR point to a new disk location where you could have a boot manager that supports unlimited boot partitions. But that requires all the booting is in software and outside the BIOS. A simple solution is to use 2 disks. Each with four partitions. The FreeBSD bootmanager will offer to boot from disk2. On disk 2 you can have your remaining OS's. -Derek At 10:40 AM 8/8/2006, Girish Venkatachalam wrote: Dear all, I was wondering if the 4 primary parition booting limit still exists.

Re: Postfix SASL Authentication
This is the contents of the smtpd.conf file: ## Global Values pwcheck_method: auxprop auxprop_plugin: sasldb log_level: 7 mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN From postfix.org: This will use the Cyrus SASL password file (default: /etc/sasldb in version 1.5.5, or /etc/sasldb2 in version 2.1.1), which is maintained with the saslpasswd or saslpasswd2 command (part of the Cyrus SASL software). On some poorly-supported systems the saslpasswd command needs to be run multiple times before it stops complaining. The Postfix SMTP server needs read access to the sasldb file - you may have to play games with group access permissions. With the OTP authentication mechanism, the SMTP server also needs WRITE access to /etc/sasldb2 or /etc/sasldb (or the back end SQL database, if used). Have you set up the SASL password file? If not, that's why you're getting the error.

If you'd rather authenticate against the exisiting system usernames passwords, change your smtpd.conf file to the following: pwcheck_method: saslauthd and delete the rest.

Actually, there is no registered system number, as there is no
registration process ... that was the key requirement for doing this,
was that it was as hands off as possible, and having to go to a web
site to register each and every host was just too onerous of a task ...
Yeah. You've leapt on the word 'register' there, and not addressed the
salient point. 'Register' as in 'become cognisant of', and distinguished
from 'signed up to.' Even though the process is simplified and
automatic,
you're still registering systems.
Having some sort of return from the central stats machine when the
periodic
script runs, (rather than nothing at all, as at the moment) would be a
good
idea. Giving each system an index number shouldn't cost too much.
But, there is no such ting as an 'index number' ... when everyone
reports in next month, for instance, there is no 'number' that will be
re-used for them that matches something used this month ...
You use the hostname as the identifying key for the data that's sent to you.
Presumably you've got to add that hostname to a table somewhere, so that
re-running the 300.statistics script doesn't spam the database with multiples
of the same set of data. i.e. it's the key to a unique index. Suggests that
row number in that table of host names is your unique index number...
Anyhow, how about the following little enhancement. This lists the CPUs on the
system pretending they are CPU0, CPU1, ... devices. The URI escape stuff should
be automatically decoded by PHP without any extra coding required.

Marc, I have a couple of questions. You use hostname and IP as a unique identifier for each host. For that reason, I have not submitted any of our systems. We use FreeBSD for sensitive security-related tasks, and we're loath to reveal that information. (When I submit or update ports, I always alter the uname information to hostname.utdallas.edu for that reason.) Can you tell me exactly what you do with those two pieces of data? Is there any way that information would be accessible from the internet? Finally, it looks like your number one problem is going to be maintainence. Right now you're showing a .x and a F.x release. Not sure if that's tampering or what, but it's obviously not legit. You also have a sudden influx of hosts from Armenia. Again, don't know if they're legit or not, but keeping up with that stuff is going to require eyes-on type manual labor. I hope you've planned for that.

Philip Hallstrom wrote: so it seems changed root login's shell to /usr/bin/bash which doesn't exist. now I can't login to root at all. Oh yes, sudo isn't installed. How would you grand masters of FreeBSD fix my embarrasing mistake. Boot into single user mode, then vipw the password file and change it back. Just as a note of warning, if you have any issues with your ports or libraries, you have a high probability of having issues with bash in the future as a shell. For example, I used to set my root shell to bash, before I had an issue with some missing libraries after an upgrade--which caused a great deal of grief, in particular when I went into safe mode as it couldn't load the shell properly. From then on I have used csh as the default shell, and then switch to bash when needed. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK, the FreeBSD loader sets the boot flag on the selected partition, so that becomes the default at next boot. I don't think it can do what you want. However, you might try grub or any of the other boot managers in the ports, or simply use the WinXP loader. It's easy enough to set up. If both WinXP and FreeBSD are installed on the same disk, copy /boot/boot1 to, say, C:\BOOTSECT.BSD. If they're on different devices, then you'll need to copy /boot/boot0 instead, BUT DON'T GET THIS WRONG!

3ware 9550SX RAID Card Problems w/ FreeBSD 5.5
Hi, I have a Dell Poweredge 1800, and was previously using FreeBSD 5.4 booted from a LSI MegaRAID SATA card. Things worked fine. However, this machine is going into production as a email server, so I purchased a 3ware 9550SX-4LP card to use instead of the LSI. I installed the 3ware card and configured it w/ the BIOS utility: default options, with 2 x 250GB drives set up in a RAID 1, with one hot spare. Then came to install FreeBSD 5.5 on it. The install CD saw the drive fine, and I set up partitions and such, but when it came time to write settings and perform the installation, I got a Error: Cannot write to disk da0, and install failed. The 3ware page says that for 5.4 and 6.0 a kernel module must be loaded separately (or the kernel recompiled), but as 5.5 includes the updated twa driver I didn't think this was necessary. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Bur single user mode always puts root in readonly. I haven't experienced it puking during boot because of a bad line in fstab though so I am not certain how that works. Your best bet is probably to boot from the FreeBSD install disk, run Fixit shell from the CD/DVD-Rom option. then type /dist/sbin/mount /dev/ad0s(insert your bsd slice \ here)a /mnt then run ee /mnt/etc/fstab or /dist/usr/bin/ee /mnt/etc/fstab I don't think the absolute paths to everything is necessary, but I'll give them anyway to cover the bases. note if your want to mount that msdosfs for whatever reason you have to do this sysctl kern.module_path=/dist/boot/kernel /dist/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /foobar I've had to deal with that little problem before. the fixit shell does not load all the kernel modules you might need only a subset, and mount -t msdosfs doesn't seem to work anytime I try it so that one REQUIRES the absolute path to work. good luck -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We use FreeBSD for sensitive security-related tasks, and we're loath to reveal that information. (When I submit or update ports, I always alter the uname information to hostname.utdallas.edu for that reason.) Can you tell me exactly what you do with those two pieces of data? Is there any way that information would be accessible from the internet? Absolutely nothing else we do with it ... it just gives us a unique key to work with ... in fact, assuming each of your servers use a different IP, there is no reason you couldn't do the uname trick above to hide the hostname ... Unless someone breaks into the server, or database, somehow, the data isn't accessible ... Finally, it looks like your number one problem is going to be maintainence. Right now you're showing a .x and a F.x release. Not sure if that's tampering or what, but it's obviously not legit. You also have a sudden influx of hosts from Armenia. Again, don't know if they're legit or not, but keeping up with that stuff is going to require eyes-on type manual labor. I hope you've planned for that. Have planned for it, and, in fact, am going to be making a couple of extra changes to the schema to allow for cleaning it up easier ... Marc G.

I hope you've planned for that. sudden influx of hosts from Armenia - I installed BSDstats on my FreeBSD 6.1 servers :) Any problem with that? 317 servers, all with the exact same IP? I see 9 servers that look legit, and 317 that I would have classified as 'suspicious' ... Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email . [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN .

Ehm, actually something's really wrong :) Armenia 331 28.24% shouldn't be that much, I think I installed it on 4 servers :) Yup, it was someone else from Armenia that it looks like modified the script and submitted all of their 'virtual hosts' as well as 'the server itself' ... although it does make the stats look good, please keep it to one entry per server (or even one per VPS, since that will then have a distinct IP) but not per virtual host :) Marc G.

Again, if we add uptime states, it would be a *seperate* opt-in option ... the only quasi-not-opt-in (you still have to tell it to run the script) is the uname information ... even the pciconf information is purely opt-in ...
