isc-dhcpd.sh rc script and jails
Hello, The port for isc-dhcp3-server has config options for enabling FreeBSD process jails. Basically, through a series of command line arguments that are generated by the isc-dhcpd.sh script, the chroot is auto-generated when you start the service and dhcpd makes the syscall to jail itself. This is actually really nifty and makes the process of running dhcpd in a thin jail brainless. The problem happens when I run isc-dhcpd.sh stop: dhcpd not running? (check /var/jails/dhcpd/var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid). Well, I know better. dhcpd is clearly running with the pid indicated in the pid file. After investigating /etc/rc.subr, I've determined the cause (where $JID is the jid of the running rc script and $_jid is the jid of the process, determined by ps output): if [ $JID -eq $_jid ]; Therefore, I cannot run isc-dhcpd.sh stop on the host system. However, given that I'm using a thin jail, I can't just log in to the jail to call the rc script. Further, the rc script was written to be called from the host machine. My question is how do I get around this? I'd prefer not to hack rc.subr unless it's a community-useable patch that can be incorporated back into the official sources. One option would be to allow rc scripts to set some sort of CHECK_JAILS variable and to implement the necessary logic to handle it in rc.subr. Is there a better solution? -- Chris Cowart Unix Systems Administrator Residential Computing, UC Berkeley May all your pushes be popped signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hell Installing OpenLDAP/Berkeley-DB/Java
Hi; I tried to install OpenLDAP, but it needs Berkeley-DB and complained that the version installed was incompatible. I tried compiling it without Berkeley (using GNU instead) but it wouldn't. I tried installing Berkeley DB without Java (for simplicity's sake), but that didn't work. I tried moving that installation to where the ports would be but still no go. So I tried a make of the berkeley-db port but that complained it needed a Java plug-in that had to be loaded manually because of licensing restrictions. So I went to the page it stated, agreed to the license, downloaded it and tried to install: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/cgi-bin/download?download=diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b00.tar.bz2 I un-bzip2'd it, then untarred it, then entered it and unzipped the sun.zip file, and now I'm lost. There are no instructions! There's a README.html file which told me to go to this page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install.html but there's nothing of substance there. It only tells one how to install Linux binaries or RPMs, but I'm having to install from source. Good grief! Has anyone been through this crap before? What do I do? TIA, beno2 - How low will we go?

Recall that | is the pipe operator, and like in real life, there's one input and one output. Pipes used on the command line are for all intents and purposes unnamed, and you can only build up one pipeline. That's why named pipes were invented, so that you could have multiple pipes and refer to them by name (instead of implicitly).

Re: How do I give 2 parameters to programs in an unix enviroment?
Here's an example using zsh (I assume it's the same using bash, but different using tcsh or sh): diff (find /usr/local -type f | sort) (for each in /var/db/pkg/*/ +CONTENTS; do grep -v '^@' $each; done | sort) This does a diff(1) of what /var/db/pkg says that /usr/local should look like, and what it *really* looks like (note that it would need some tuning in order to actually be useful, but you get the idea) This uses the () operator. What the () operator does is create a named pipe in /tmp, execute the commands contained in the parenthesis in a subshell, and connect the stdout of the subshell into that named pipe. So it's sort of like using temp files, but you don't have to clean up after yourself. There's another, similar operator that does force it to use temp files, but I can never remember what it is :) Check the manpages for your shell Note that not all programs support using named pipes instead of files, since they expect to be able to do things like rewind the current position in the file descriptor. diff(1) looks to support it okay, though.

You do not want to have the main root account set up with anything but the minimal stuff that will be available in single user mode with only the / partition mounted just in case you have trouble and need it. For it to be root it needs to have UID = 0 and best to have GID = 0. It doesn't need to be named root. So, I would suggest making your own separate root account - maybe named something like domr or domR or something else convenient and then give that account all the nice things like your favorite shell and editor, etc so you can use that as root when all the system is up and happy and leave the main root with /bin/sh as shell and /usr/bin/vi as editor, etc. I usually even put a copy of vi in /bin just for those occasions.

Re: FreeBSD Shells
Joshua Lewis writes: My shell mysteriously changed. I don't know what port changed the shell but how do I put it back to normal. I liked how when I was logged in or su'ed to root I had a prompt with the computer name and a hash sign. Now I have a percent sign and when I try to change the shell with chsh I can not get it to work anymore. I am doing chsh -s /bin/sh is that correct? Is that the default BSD shell? It sounds like either your .profile (for sh) or your .cshrc (for tcsh) is what got changed.That is where the prompt will be determined by the setting of the 'prompt' variable. But, to your specific question, you should be able to set your shell using chsh. I think you only need the -s if you call it by 'chpass' instead of chsh, but I am not sure. If you have root access, then you can also change your shell in the passwd file directly using vipw(8). Just use vipw to edit the shell field in the passwd file entry and write and exit out of vipw. If you do not have root access, then you cannot modify it with vipw. If there was no shell specified in the shell field, the system would have given you /bin/sh by default. If the shell you are trying to change to or from is not listed in //etc/shells, then it will not allow you to make the change with the chsh command.

Re: 6.1 recommended instead of 5.x for new installations [was: Efficacy vs. friendliness]
Pete Slagle writes: jdow wrote: I noticed that FreeBSD 5.x was somewhat quicker than that to get up, running, and up to date. I can't think of a good reason to use FreeBSD 5.x for a new installation; 6.1 contains so many reliability and performance improvements that it is the clear choice over 5.5. (Upgrades are of course a more complicated question.) The reason I have is that none of the AFS clients will run on 6.1, but they are supposed to run under 5.x.I am about to embark on a test of it under 5.5 this afternoon. I know OpenAFS fails under 6.1. Although it seems to build OK - and even starts up, as soon as I try to go to a directory, it crashes the whole system with a partial error message from lock manager. Something similar is true of the ARLA AFS client port. So, there can be a reason, though it is not overall system quality. jerry ps. If anyone knows enough about the new locks (or locks in general), it would be nice to have someone make the changes for the FreeBSD 6.xx versions of OpenAFS and Arla. It is really beyond my knowledge. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How do I give 2 parameters to programs in an unix enviroment?
Here's an example using zsh (I assume it's the same using bash, but different using tcsh or sh): [...] This uses the () operator. [...] There's another, similar operator that does force it to use temp files, but I can never remember what it is :) [...] Just for the archives, The =() operator puts the output to a temp file and returns the filename to the main command. It has to wait for the subshell to finish before running the main command, though. Ah, thanks, I'll try to remember that this time :) Note that the =() operator, because it uses regular files, doesn't have the issue that some programs won't know how to deal with it (that is, because they are regular files, they support things like fseek() etc). The downside, as Dan said, is that the entire command line isn't executed until all of the subshells within =() operators complete (so the example I gave could take a long time to have any output). Also note that the =() operator will put its temp files in / tmp by default (unless you set your shell to put them elsewhere), so if you have a command with a lot of output, make sure that your /tmp can take all of it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? 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.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Clevo D900K and 64 bit FreeBSD support???
I've been looking into replacing my current laptop/desktop with a Clevo D900K, AMD-64 machine. I'm just curious if anyone out there has any experience getting FreeBSD up and running on this machine and at what capacity (card reader, 8.1 sound card, WLAN+Bluetooth, Hardware RAID, etc.) I was going to go with the Nvidia Quadro graphics card and am curious on the status of 64bit native nvidia drivers. I know it wasn't/isn't supported as of yet. Also I was hoping to take an existing i386 system and move it to the 64bit system. Can I by properly specifying the environment rebuild an i386 system to 64bit? Or am I better off/ have too install a fresh 64bit system? I would imagine this could tick off a few ports like portupgrade that would make rebuilding tricky at best. I've linked to and included the machine spec for those savy enough to look at the general hardware and know it's level of support. thanks, -brian http://www.clevo.com.tw/products/D900K.asp link might make the following look a little nicer D900K Specification CPU #12290; AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Processor 3800+/4200+/4600+ #12288; (2.00~2.40GHz, 1MB L2 cache, socket 939) #12290; AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Processor 4400+/4800+ #12288; (2.20~2.40GHz, 2MB L2 cache, socket 939) #12290; AMD AthlonTM 64 Processor FX-53/FX-55/FX-57 #12288; (2.40~2.80GHz, 1MB L2 cache, socket 939) #12290; AMD AthlonTM 64 Processor 3000+/3200+/3400+/3500+/3800+ #12288; (1.80~2.40GHz, 512KB L2 cache, socket 939) #12290; AMD AthlonTM 64 Processor 3700+/4000+ #12288; (2.20~2.40GHz, 1MB L2 cache, socket 939) Core Logic #12290;VIA K8T890CE + VT8237R Display #12290;17.1 WXGA (1440x900) TFT / 17.1 WSXGA+ (1680x1050) / 17.1 WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT Memory #12290;Two 64-bit wide DDR data channels #12290;Two 200-pin SODIMM sockets, supporting DDR 400 #12290;Expandable Memory up to 2GB, based on 256/512/1024MB SODIMM Module Video Controller #12290;(Option) nVIDIA QuadroTM Fx 2500 #12288;High performance graphic chip #12290;512MB DDRIII Video RAM on board #12290;256-bit video memroy interface #12290;PCI-Express x16 #12290;Fully DirectX 9.0 support #12290;Modular Design #12290;OpenGL support #12290;(Option) nVIDIA GeForceTM Go #12288;7900 GTX High performance #12288;graphic chip #12290;256MB DDRIII Video RAM on board #12290;256-bit video memroy interface #12290;PCI-Express x16 #12290;Fully DirectX 9.0 support #12290;Modular Design #12290;H.264 encode support #12288; (HD-DVD/BD-DVD playback) #12290;(Option) nVIDIA GeForceTM Go 7900 #12288;GTX High performance graphic chip #12290;512MB DDRIII Video RAM on board #12290;256-bit video memroy interface #12290;PCI-Express x16 #12290;Fully DirectX 9.0 support #12290;Modular Design #12290;H.264 encode support #12288; (HD-DVD / BD-DVD playback) Storage #12290;One changeable Primary 2.5 HDD 9.5mm(H) #12290;Serial ATA HDD support #12290;Supporting Master mode IDE ATA-100/133 (Ultra DMA) #12290;One changeable Primary Bay for 12.7mm(H) DVD-ROM / Combo / DVD-Dual Driver #12290;(Option) One external USB 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive #12290;(Option) One changeable Secondary 2.5 HDD 9.5mm(H) #12290;(Option) One changeable Secondary Bay for 12.7mm(H) DVD-ROM / Combo / DVD-Dual Driver Keyboard#12290;Full size keyboard, with Numeric Pad, Multi-Language support #12290;Built-in Touchpad with scrolling function Sound System#12290;AC'97 2.2 Compliant Interface #12290;3D stereo enhanced sound system #12290;Virtual 8-channel audio output #12290;Sound-Blaster PROTM compatible #12290;S/PDIF Digital output #12290;SRS (Sound Retrieval System® ) / WOW 3D sound technology #12290;1x Built-in Microphone #12290;4x Built-in Speakers #12290;1x Built-in Sub woofer #12290;1x Built-in Audio DJ Console for music CD (MP3 format compatible) I/O Ports #12290;4x USB 2.0 ports #12290;2x Mini IEEE1394a ports #12290;1x S-Video jack for TV output (HDTV support) #12290;1x Serial port #12290;1x Parallel port (LPT1), supporting ECP/EPP #12290;1x Infrared Transfer port #12290;1x DVI port #12290;1x PS/2 port #12290;1x Headphone jack #12290;1x Microphone jack #12290;1x S/PDIF output jack #12290;1x Line-in jack for Audio input #12290;1x RJ-45 port for LAN #12290;1x RJ-11 port for Modem #12290;1x DC-In jack #12290;1x CATV input jack (optional function with TV-Tuner module) #12290;1x S-Video jack for Video input (optional function with TV-Tuner module) Slot#12290;Built-in 10-in-1 Card Reader (MS/MS Pro/SD/MMC/CF/SM/MicroDrive/MS DUO/Mini SD/RSMMC) #12290;1x Type II PCMCIA socket Communication #12290;Infrared Transfer : 115.2Kbps SIR/4Mbps FIR, IrDA 1.1 compliant #12290;10/100/1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet onboard #12290;Integrated V.90/56K Azalia Modem (V.92 compliant) #12290;(Option) 802.11b/g MiniPCI Wireless LAN Module #12290;(Option) BluetoothTM Class II V2.0 Module, combo with 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Module #12290;(Factory option) 1.3M-pixel Video Camera module Power #12290;Full Range 220W AC adapter - AC input 100~240V, 47~63Hz,
Re: trouble with a pair of bind9 servers
the trouble im having is, that my slave (5.5-p3) will not transfer the zone from the master (6.1-p4). my /var/log/messages is filled with these: Sep 7 21:50:24 fbsd55-2 named[1847]: exiting Sep 7 21:50:26 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: starting BIND 9.3.2 -t /var/named -u bind Sep 7 21:50:26 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: /etc/namedb/named.conf:40: option 'allow-update' is not allowed in 'slave' zone 'dlptest.com' Hi Jonathan, First, I would recommend you to send this question to the BIND mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. See ISC's website for more subscribing at http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/bind-lists.php and the archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bind-users Now, this first error is self explanatory: you can't use 'allow-update' in a slave zone, only in the master. It makes sense, because if the slave had updates, then it would not be able to tell the master about those updates and the zones would become inconsistent between your machines (resulting in quite a mess). The other way around is better: update the master which will then send notifiiy messages to your slave who in turn will download the updates. So just remove 'allow-update' in the slave's named.conf(5). Sep 7 21:50:26 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: zone dlptest.com/IN/internal: has 0 SOA records Sep 7 21:50:26 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: zone dlptest.com/IN/internal: has no NS records These point to a bad zone file. You should double check your /etc/namedb/dlptest.com.i.hosts file. Make sure you have both SOA and NS records in them. Consider using the named-checkzone(8) command to check your zone files. See the man page for named-checkzone(8) for more info. Hummm, I know it's not my business, but may I suggest you another name for your zone files? I personally use db.dlptest.com.internal and db.dlptest.com.external for the master files. For the slave, I use bak.dlptest.com.internal and bak.dlptest.com.external. IMHO it's a little more clear whether you're working on a internal slave file or an external master file :) Sep 7 21:50:26 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: running Sep 7 21:50:27 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: dumping master file: /etc/namedb/tmp-UZF5mCCxZP: open: permission denied Sep 7 21:50:27 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: transfer of 'dlptest.com/IN' from 192.168.125.91#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Sep 7 21:51:20 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: dumping master file: /etc/namedb/tmp-SaWWYxV06u: open: permission denied Sep 7 21:51:20 fbsd55-2 named[1924]: transfer of 'dlptest.com/IN' from 192.168.125.91#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied this was giving me the impression that the bind user was not able to write to /var/named/etc/namedb, but every time i make a chmod or chown adjustment, it just gets changed back: fbsd55-2# /etc/rc.d/named restart Stopping named. etc/namedb changed user expected 0 found 53 modified Starting named. fbsd55-2# I'm afraid I'm not quite sure this problem is? Maybe check your fstab(5) for special options such as noexec or nosuid and friends. Check the mount(8) man page if you find anything. Also have you played with chflags(1) ? Finally, I would check the ISC's BIND mailing list archives to see if you can come up with something.

The only thing I know of that causes a reproducible kill -9 is a missing shared library, but cc1plus uses only libc.so.6, which does exist: # ( cd /usr/local/gcc-ooo/i386-portbld-freebsd6.1/3.4.1/libexec/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.1/3.4.1 ; ldd cc1plus ) cc1plus: libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x283d5000) # ll /lib/libc.so.6 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 882116 May 6 20:56 /lib/libc.so.6 some answers also suggest you might be running out of space in the build directory. You'll need at least 1.8G to build Openoffice (/usr/ports); I say at least because when I built it for Gentoo on my P4 it used up more like 5G and took 8-10 hours to build. There seems to be plenty of space: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s3a50763030144 436876 6%/ devfs 110 100%/dev /dev/ad0s3e507630 282 466738 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s3f 40083664 10225734 2665123828%/usr /dev/ad0s3d 114831888404 968050 8%/var BTW this is a *long* way into the build. A rerun, which doesn't need to actually build anything prior to the point of failure, generates close to 500KB of logfile and takes almost 40 minutes. The initial attempt had taken over 24 hours to reach that point. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Acroread doesn't find a lib
Does /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 exist? It is in the xorg-libraries-6.9.0 package, so you might try re-installing it (via ports or pkg_add, depending which you originally used). If it does exist, try running ldconfig to see if the library shows up: ldconfig -r | grep libXfixes.so.3 If it doesn't, you can try: ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib Then see whether it's showing up with ldconfig -r.

FreeBSD 6.1 shutting down.
Hello everyone, I'm On FreeBSD 6.1R, the box is intel945 extra Dlink NIC P4.3 1G DDR2, 160GB sata. running Freeradius, chillispot, MySql 4.1, apache2. acting as NAT and hotspot login. there is two diffrent servers with the same specifications. Its was working fine starting from day 1 to day 5 uptime. and the other box from day 1 to 3, with almost 30 users as hotspot login. On day 5, it had a sudden shutdown, some users called me reported there is no internet when i checked the server i discovered the box is off power. The second box after 3 days had the same problem. when i started the power, for both...again it start to work in a goodway. I was shocked.. checked messages, dmesg, and almost everything I couldnot find any clue in logs.. so question 1, How would i check what happened for this power shutting down? 2) in my dmesg and since i was settingup the box, the following error was always coming and on single line atapci1: failed to enable memory mapping! any help on this please?

Hi, If I were you I would cvsup the entire repository (for src-all). Then I would set up chroot-ed environments for each world you want to build. When you want to do a build checkout the version you want to your chroot-ed /usr/src directory. There are more details @ /usr/src/UPDATING. In your chroot environment you'll need everything for doing a build (libraries, headers, etc.). What worked well for me was duplicating the base system root directories. One nice thing about this, for instance, is that you can have customized /etc/make.conf files. With this setup you can even do a chroot-ed install world, make dist, etc. There are hints for this in UPDATING as well. Best Regards, Duane Whitty P.S.

Window Manager Recommendations
Hello List, I am switching over my desktop system to FreeBSD soon and want to choose a nice window manager. One of the more annoying things I want to get away from in Microsoft Windows is focus-shifting: I'll be typing along in one place, then a webpage will finish loading, the window focus shifts, I keep typing and execute a bunch of commands in the new window (chosen by Windows, rather than by me, who would be content to keep typing and go to the webpage when I'm good and ready). In general I'd prefer a window manager that avoids these sorts of things (i.e., only does what I ask it to). Recommendations welcome. thanks, Joel Joel J.
