Did the Inspiron 6400 come with an IrDA (infrared interface)? FreeBSD seems to want to treat the IrDA as an ordinary network interface attached to the firewire controller. A Dell wireless card uses, as you noted, a Broadcom chip set, typically one for which no information has been made available to open source developers. Some of the older ones appear to work using the ndisgen/ndiscvt method. I've had no luck with that so far on an Inspiron XPS (the original model) with a Dell 1450 dual-band wireless card. I called Dell XPS tech. support yesterday to find out the path to the correct bcmwl5.inf file in Windows XP Home Ed., and they *refused* to tell me. They even seemed slightly dismayed that I'd already found the correct bcmwl5.sys file via the Windows XP device manager. After more digging around, I think I've found the correct .inf file, but have yet to find time to try running the two files through ndisgen to see what happens under 6.1. Under 5.x using ndiscvt, I got either panics during boot or else other, non-panic error messages when trying to load the .ko file. Scott Bennett, Comm.

secure dynamic DNS
Hi there,
I had to rebuild my gateway router which is now an ubuntu server. I am
trying to figure out why secure dynamic DNS is not working all that
well. Nothing was changed on the DNS server side, but i will include
the configuration just in case. Please help me figure out what I have
misconfigured.
I am using dhclient to send updates to my DNS server. The error message
says the add 'forward map' is being sent to host.domain.com local IP
address and not the address of the remove DNS server.
And here is the dhclient error:
--- snip ---
dhclient: Unable to add forward map from host.domain.com. to
hosts's_local_IP_address: timed out
--- snip
I dont see any message showing up in the logs on the DNS server side.
Here is the dhclient process running with all the switches:
dhclient3 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth1.pid -lf
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth1.leases eth1
Here I provide the /etc/dhpc3/dhclient.conf configuration:
--- snip ---
send fqdn.fqdn host.domain.com.;
send fqdn.encoded on;
send fqdn.server-update off;
key host.domain.com {

and from the /etc/namedb/named.conf file on DNS server side:
snip ---
key host.domain.com {

RRIP without PX field? when mounting DVD+RW

It happens, most common is using non-compaq disk drives in these systems.

Re: [FreeBSD-Q] Creating .so libraries on FreeBSD?
Hi again, I got scrAPI working on my beastie box. It turns out the tidy I was using was from my /usr/ports directory rather than from sourceforge. I had to struggle a bit with the sourceforge tidy. My beastie box was missing a bunch of the gnu tools like libtoolize, autoconf, automake... Once I got those installed, I followed the directions attached to tidy. Eventually, I ran a make command which made a whole lot of stuff. One of those things was a .so file which was named libtidy-0.99.so.0 I copied it to /tmp/libtidy.so and copied that to the location pointed to by the Tidy.path variable. Mine looks like this: Tidy.path='/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/scrapi-1.2.0/lib/tidy/libtidy.so ' I'm not sure the best place to put the above variable. I put it in my controller but that is not a good DRY place. But, now I got scrAPI working on my beastie box and I'm feeling good. To answer my own question: How do I make .so files? ans1: use the Makefile ans2: use gcc I saw this fly by on my terminal: gcc -O2 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -o .libs/tidy tidy.o ../src/.libs/libtidy.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Dan On 10/22/06, Dan Bikle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Beastie People, I'm working with some ruby software called scrAPI.

I will leave you with a printout of a test run on a new mailserver I'm building up right now, in fact, using an fxp card, to prove it's a not a stack problem. You can choose to believe it or you can choose to continue wasting your time chasing ghosts in the TP stack when the problem is the driver: I'm setting up test servers now, it's just taking time to get a good test environment up. I'll respond with actual numbers after testing, between autoneg and forced 100/full servers. I admit, the forced 100/full is because of ancient lore, particularly with cisco switches not always playing nice with autonegotiation, we've just always done it that way (until gbit), and never had any problems. Make absolutely sure to download the current catOS/IOS for your switches, older firmware in them had problems with certain network chipsets. Cisco got egg on it's face - the old IOS in the 2950's would not work with the new ethernet chipsets in the 1800/2800/3800 router series when they came out - among other things. The servers in question all do 150-200Mbit in production, no problem, it's just that any one flow can't do more than ~300KB/s cross country. Given that they're over 100Mbit, what ethernet card is recommended if em has problems? Your going to have to experiment, it's a crapshoot. I had a hell of a time with the bge adapter and 6.1 production, I produced a patch that helped, finally the bge author updated the driver with a more comprehensive fix. It works fine now but you must get the driver from CVS, the production 6.1 driver does not work. I also have an em card, but I didn't do significant testing with it after getting the bge fix. Our largest feed is 45Mbt and so I think it's pointless to plug a gigabit ethernet card into the network since a 10/100 card has plenty of capability to saturate our largest feed. None of our switches are gigabit and it is very unlikely that they will be upgraded in the near future. We do not do significant server-to-server data traffic, to be perfectly honest, I don't believe in it. I come from the school of you get 1 really big, powerful, expensive, reliable server that has enough power to do what you need, rather than a bunch of lame ones that are underpowered and try to cluster them. I've never had one of these fail in production, although I've seen a lot of clusters at customer sites that gave their admins a whole lot of grief. I only am dealing now with gigabit ethernet because I have to, since it's coming standard on all the new server hardware. And frankly I think it sucks, since I've seen lots of problems with gigE adapters at customer sites that were plugged into older switches. We haven't been bit by any of this yet - of course, we use 10/100 switches that were top-of-the-line switches during their day - but I've personally engineered 3 customer forklift upgrades to brand new top-of-the-line Cisco switches due to gigabit lan negotiation and throughput problems. Our customers have the dough to buy 80-100 ports of new Cisco switches, (of course they think they don't - but they do) wheres like most ISPs we don't. And, since we don't need it anyay, what's the point? FWIW, I am able to receive full speed on all of these servers. freebsd.org sends at 10Mbit, kernel.org at 20+. It's only sending speed that I have a problem with, and only with freebsd. My take on it is the gigabit ethernet chipset drivers are not completely debugged under FreeBSD at this time. Certainly, the Broadcom chipset is just getting there. The Intel chipsets usually lead the pack in support so you probably will get more traction on complaining to the em developer if you can demonstrate 100Mbt speeds on a fxp card, then 30Mbt speeds on an em card, in the same machine on the same network. FreeBSD tends to lag behind in the hardware support area. I'm sorry about that but you just have to accept it if your going to use FreeBSD.

Re: BTX Halted on 6.1 but not 5.4
My question is, is there a good probability that if I install 5.4 and cvsup to RELENG_6 that it will work. I didn't see anything that actually gave a clear definition of the BTX Halted error and am wondering if I put in 5 or 6 hours on this box, does the BTX Halted error provide any indication that it may have an issue anyway beyond just sysinstall? The cost of a mobo and CPU for a test system will end up a pretty cheap alternative if the hours start adding up. Just to not leave the question without a searchable answer. Starting with 5.4 and cvsupping to 6.2 got around the issue. Recap is 6.1 Release wouldn't boot on a Compaq Presario 5WV280 Athlon 900, but after loading the 5.4 ISO, updating source and jumping directly to 6.2 (without any technical issues in the jump), the 6.2 does work perfectly after rebuild of world. I've not found any incompatibilities yet. This is with all BIOS options enabled.

It played the visual elements of Flash OK, however there is no sound since they're using ALSA for the sound in version 9. I also noticed that after playing Flash content, the area where the content was would turn a solid grey color and it seemed to lock the browser up a bit. If I closed out of that tab it seemed to be OK. Normally I have Flash disabled for all but a couple sites since it uses up tons of RAM and really slows down the browser after use (version 7 at least), so I unloaded 9 and went back to 7 for now where sound at least works. Hopefully Adobe will add in alternate sound support methods so other platforms besides Linux can have sound like in version 7, and of course I hope they release a native FreeBSD binary sometime too so we can use native browsers. -Mark I am not able to get this to work.

YAVSQ (yet another vmware server question)
well its been discuessed many times that vmware server will likely not work in freebsd any time soon. what about just the management console (linux client)? im considering migrating my dual xeon 2.66/3GB of ram box from windowsXP/VS 2005 to suse/vmware server, and having access to the console application from my freebsd workstation would be a nice convenience. anyone have any thoughts pertaining to the usability of the vmware-console-linux in freebsd? cheers, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mixer strangeness?
Hi. I have a (crappy) old Soundblaster Live PCI card in this machine, using the snd_emu10k driver. I'm trying to work out whether this is the fault of the driver or some strange userland mixer settings. Essentially mixer shows: Mixer vol is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 0:0 Mixer speaker is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 100:100 Mixer igainis currently set to 0:0 Mixer line1is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phoutis currently set to 0:0 Mixer videois currently set to 0:0 Recording source: mic Surely, with the above settings, there should be no output at all? There appears to be no way to actually set the output volume with mixer on this card (you always get output, at full volume). Also, mixer shows the recording source as mic when it's actually rec. What's going on here? Any ideas? MC ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Flash player 9 Beta is Live

Also can this be used inside of kde konqueor? v/r I got the same results with the standalone player. I'm not sure the solution to that. If you want to use Flash 9 inside a browser (which seems to work fairly well with the exception of sound), then you need the Linux plugin version off their website and a Linux version of a browser such as linux-opera or linux-firefox. With them only producing the plugin for Linux, then you're kinda stuck with running a Linux binary browser for now. I tried the linuxpluginwrapper and a native browser before and it worked fairly OK with Flash 6, but had some problems even with version 7 so I don't think version 9 will work through that method. Also, if you need sound in Flash, you're better sticking with version 7 for now since they've used ALSA for their sound in version 9 which is Linux specific. If you want to see them make native Flash for FreeBSD or improve the sound support so we can at least use the Linux binary with sound, here are three ideas that might help: 1) Ask them on their official wish form: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform 2) Register your machine(s) with BSDStats which can help prove that there is a market for FreeBSD support: http://bsdstats.org/ 3) Sign the Flash for FreeBSD petition which already has almost 3,000 signatures: http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/ -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Backing up SOHO server
Hmm, not familiar with dump or restore, but what I would suggest, is when you can get some down time, boot from a live cd, and using a dd/bzip2/split combo (or any other method of your choice), make a backup image of the drive as well, If you get a new drive with the same size/etc, it'll massively speed up the reinstall phase. When you recover, all you need is cat/bunzip2/dd to do the restore. It's quite a bit faster than a reinstall, especially if you compile your own apps - it saved me a lot of time when my notebook died.

pkg_add/delete questions
Hi, I have several questions: 1. If I install a particular package, its dependencies will be installed as well. Now if I remove it later using pkg_delete, only that package will be removed and not the dependencies. The reason I guess is because some other packages may be dependent on those dependencies as well. Is there a way to remove a particular package and all of its dependencies (given that no other package is dependent on those dependencies)? 2. Is it possible to tell pkg_add to just fetch the package and not install them? My goal is to use my Internet conn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other alternatives:
- use Bacula for a full fledged backup solution,
- taking the image of the drives containing the OS is definitely a good idea.
- rdiff-backup - it's actually REALLY good for incremental backups . I'm using
it with 6GB+ encrypted drives and the saving is quite good (though calculating
the binary difference takes a while). There's a web interface to manage it
remotely,etc. quite nice.

Assuming you have the right cable, make sure you have it connected correctly. I had a problem like this once, and it turned out that I had put the cable on backwards. I had connected the end of the cable meant for the motherboard to the device (a disk, iirc), and visa-versa. I switched the cable around, and then it worked fine.

Re: traffic analysis tools
Michael P. Soulier wrote: Hey people, I'd like something to look at traffic use through my gateway, so I know how much of my upload bandwidth and download bandwidth is in use at any time. Ideally it'll tell me from where, so I can look at internal abusers, or get an idea of where hits are coming from. Off the top of my head, I can think of two tools. 1. ntop - great web interface, but I've found it unstable 2. iptraf - good curses interface, but I'm looking for trend monitoring 3. mrtg - as I'm running snmp, so I could just monitor it from a desktop running mrtg... Any other suggestions?

general VM / KMEM tunables question
Trying to tune a new system (FreeBSD 6.1) for the best performance (moderately busy webserver, but nothing over the top). However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding documentation on VM sysctl tunables. I have run into the (somewhat common) issue before of running out of PV_Entries due to Apache getting busy, so my current webserver kernels all have the following in them: options KVA_PAGES=512 options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=401 However, these values were only chosen because they seemed to fix my problem, not because I'm entirely sure they're the best possible values. How does one go about determining how many KVA_PAGES and PMAP_SHPGPERPROC to set? Also, are there sysctl OIDs for these options? Poking around google, I've seen mention of vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shgperproc, but those OIDs do not exist on my system as far as I can tell. I also have the following in my sysctl.conf, but again I'm not sure how I initially came up with these figures (though they do work), and I wanted to get a better handle on my system tuning: vm.v_free_min=8192 vm.v_free_target=16384 vm.v_free_reserved=8192 vm.v_free_severe=16384 Basically just trying to get some clues as to how to figure out (based on system config) what these values should reasonably be set to.
