How should i do these? 1. I am using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). I am running FreeBSD on Vmware and i set the network connection as Bridged on Vmware. I configured my Ethernet device with the correct IP, Gateway, Netmask, DNS but i dont know how to start my internet on FreeBSD. All i do to connect to the internet on Windows is give my username and password. I also read the PPPoE chapter on the FreeBSD manual but of no use. How should i start PPoE on FreeBSD? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pppoe.html, but better look for mpd 2. I need Vim. I dont want to use Vi. I searched in my CD-1 and CD-2. But i could not find the package vim inside it. Since i am not able to connect to the internet is there any other way to install Vim ? well if you do not have the source or the packages .. you have to find a way to download it :) 3. How should i configure FreeBSD to start in X mode directly. Currently i have to do startx to start X on my machine. take a look at xdm, kdm and gdm :) 4. I want to make bash as the default shell instead of csh. Where is that configured? man vipw 5. Where are the kernel sources located? I need it because i want to do kernel network programming? Is having kernel sources sufficient or there are other dependencies also? src/sys are kernel sources. Where depends on your installation (normally /usr/src/sys/) 6.

Re: i am facing these issues after my FreeBSD 6.2 installation.
Hello Ajay, On Tuesday 13 March 2007 13:23, ajay gopalakrishnan wrote: I've recently installed FreeBSD release 6.2 successfully except that the following things that i need importantly dont work. How should i do these? this is the wrong list to ask such questions. I referred your email to the more appropriate list freebsd-questions. You might also find that the handbook can be quite helpful. 1. I am using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). I am running FreeBSD on Vmware and i set the network connection as Bridged on Vmware. I configured my Ethernet device with the correct IP, Gateway, Netmask, DNS but i dont know how to start my internet on FreeBSD. All i do to connect to the internet on Windows is give my username and password. I also read the PPPoE chapter on the FreeBSD manual but of no use. How should i start PPoE on FreeBSD? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html 2. I need Vim. I dont want to use Vi. I searched in my CD-1 and CD-2. But i could not find the package vim inside it. Since i am not able to connect to the internet is there any other way to install Vim ? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/editors.html 3. How should i configure FreeBSD to start in X mode directly. Currently i have to do startx to start X on my machine. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html 4. I want to make bash as the default shell instead of csh. Where is that configured? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/shells.html 5. Where are the kernel sources located? I need it because i want to do kernel network programming? Is having kernel sources sufficient or there are other dependencies also? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-choosing.html 6. How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with the main Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this? Use a cvsup file along these lines: --- *default host=cvsup.XXX.FreeBSD.org *default base=/home//.cvsupdb *default prefix=/home//fcvs *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all doc-all www cvsroot-all --- After that cvs -d /home//fcvs co src will get you up and running. Ready to do cvs diff -u to check for the local changes you made etc. As a side note: If you can't figure out simple questions like this by your self, you will have a hard time to do actual development.

It's not. added nss_initgroups_ignoreusers ldap but it still blockes for 2 Min. I have found a solution that work for me. The problem is not that nsswitch asks nss_ldap but that nss_ldap take so long to realise the ldap isn't running. I have changed the bind_policy setting of nss_ldap from hard to soft and nss_ldap fails without delay. So it's working for me for now. But still there is a problem with that. Right now there is no way we could prevent any source from adding users to any group (e.g wheel). I think thats a security problem in envoriments where you don't have control over all sources used for authentication und usermanagement. If there was a way you could tell the nss to stop wenn a group definition is found in a module we had a way to stop this. That shouldn't be the default way but it schould be possible. Basically you're saying you want to take the first list of groups you find in the same way that you can take the first username you find: and with respect, you seem to be finding increasingly strident reasons why things should be the way you want them. You're still banging your head against the wall. It's easy to ``prevent any source from adding users to any group'': just don't give the whole world write access to your groups database - whether it's in the system files, NIS, LDAP, or on tablets of stone on a small hill in your server room. If you don't want to look up group information in LDAP, don't put ldap in the group line in nsswitch.conf. If you do, secure it properly and accept that it will always do an LDAP lookup, because group information is additive - unlike user information which has to be unique. Accept, too, that if you only have a single LDAP server, there will be a bootstrap problem reading the groups list for the ldap user to start up the LDAP server: but the only cost of this is an extra two minutes or so on each boot, which you seem to have solved in any case.

Perhaps the maintainer should just remove that option form the port, or issue a warning that, that codec cannot be installed without specifically modifying the 'makefile' or perhaps using a specific directive on the command line.

Installing a second hard disk
Hi List, I am trying to install a secondary hard disk in a Intel-based PC with FreeBSD 5.4 This secondary disk's capacity is 250 Gb. When I enter sysintall to try to format it and create a slice, FreeBSD says that the geometry of disk is not correct. I, then, type in the values detected by the BIOS as suggested, but FreeBSD still complains that those are not valid. FreeBSD sees the new disk as a disk of approx. 131 GB. So my question is: where is the problem? Is it that FreeBSD is not able to recognise such a big disk capacity? Any hint, suggestion, or web link would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance Aitor.

Freebsd-Update Stable Dist's
When I built my latest server I used a FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE-200608 ISO image that was produced on one of the serveral 'snapshot' sites However, I was going to run freebsd-update to check for any patches, etc.. That may need to be applied and it says it won't run on my machine: This system is running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE-200608. FreeBSD Update is only designed to track FreeBSD Security and Errata branches and cannot update this system I was wondering if there is a way to force it to think my machine is really 6.1-RELEASE, or to safely use freebsd-update on my machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD will recognize large disks, but your hardware itself needs to support what's known as LBA48 addressing to properly work with drives larger than 137.4 GB. Make sure that you've got the latest BIOS update for your MB installed, and try to make sure that the drive is configured to use LBA or auto access mode, rather than C/H/S. Also, you should ignore the warning about the geometry under these circumstances rather than entering a manual geometry...C/H/S mode is going to waste most of the available disk space, so you don't want to use it. First hit from google suggests a site here: http://www. 48bitlba.com/ with some tools...I haven't looked into them, but it looks like they have a utility to check your BIOS for LBA48 compatibility. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Installing a second hard disk
On Tuesday 13 March 2007 13:05, Aitor San Juan wrote: Hi List, I am trying to install a secondary hard disk in a Intel-based PC with FreeBSD 5.4 This secondary disk's capacity is 250 Gb. When I enter sysintall to try to format it and create a slice, FreeBSD says that the geometry of disk is not correct. I, then, type in the values detected by the BIOS as suggested, but FreeBSD still complains that those are not valid. FreeBSD sees the new disk as a disk of approx. 131 GB. So my question is: where is the problem? Is it that FreeBSD is not able to recognise such a big disk capacity? Any hint, suggestion, or web link would be highly appreciated. Assuming the new disk is ad4, and you want a single FreeBSD slice/partition/FS covering the whole disk: fdisk -BI /dev/ad4 bsdlabel -wB /dev/ad4s1 newfs -U /dev/ad4s1a See the manpages for each command for more details. The -B flags aren't necessary if you never plan to boot from the new disk, but they don't hurt anything either. If you want multiple FreeBSD partitions you could run a bsdlabel -e after the first bsdlabel command above, and additional newfs commands as appropriate. Continuing the example above, you could do: mkdir /newdisk mount /dev/ad4s1a /newdisk echo /dev/ad4s1a /newdiskufs rw 2 2 /etc/fstab To both mount the new filesystem and have it mounted automatically at boot. See the fstab manpage for details about that. (You could of course use a text editor to modify fstab instead of the echo command above.)

The atacontrol man page is less than adequate in this respect...is is even possible? If you want to use gmirror (which I recommend), the most conservative approach is as follows. This can probably be adapted to other mirroring techniques/software as well. Verify that your backups are up-to-date and reliable. Create a degraded single-member mirror on the blank disk (or a partition/slice on said disk). (gmirror label command) Make sure that the size of the disk/slice/partition is equal to or smaller than the size of the disk/slice/partition which already contains your data. Create (a) new filsystem(s) on the new mirror. (newfs and possibly bsdlabel, depending on how/if you want to break it up) Transfer your data from the existing filesystem to the new filesystem (dump/restore -- it's easier than it sounds). (Alternative: restore from the backup you created to begin with.) Verify data transfer, make relevant changes to /etc/fstab, possibly other intermediate steps. Destroy the original filesystem (possibly using dd and /dev/zero) (not strictly necessary, but wiping at least the first part of the disk/slice/partition can help avoid potential confusion (for you and the system) later.) Insert the original disk/slice/partition into your new mirro (gmirror insert command). This approach can take longer than some others (due to the transfer requirement), but the finished product is less likely to contain surprises. I have successfully used this approach to migrate several types of volumes to gmirror sets, including boot partitions.

I actually expected FreeBSD to have that driver with the kernel but it seems like it's not. After installing this driver all my problems are gone. The problem is I have to install 4 servers with the same Realtek NIC. What would be the best way to do this and to compile the driver static with the kernel.

Pieter de Goeje wrote: Ok, the only other reason I can think of right now is that your motherboard's agp chipset isn't supported by the nvidia driver. In that case you'll need to load the FreeBSD agp driver and recompile the nvidia driver with support for freebsd's agp driver. # cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver # make config check FREEBSD_AGP # make clean # make deinstall reinstall clean Also, you need to go back to the GENERIC kernel w/ agp included, or load agp by specifying agp_load=yes in /boot/loader.conf. Hope this helps, Pieter de Goeje I recompiled the kernel with AGP support enabled. The FreeBSD agp driver yields the same results. Meaning the same error message* and the same fps :-( . Maybe it is an idea to upgrade the kernel? I searched for a good howto but couldn't find anything useful.

Re: Installing a second hard disk
Check your BIOS and possibly update the BIOS. Also low-level format the disk to ensure there is nothing on the disk causing any issues. -Derek At 12:05 PM 3/13/2007, Aitor San Juan wrote: Hi List, I am trying to install a secondary hard disk in a Intel-based PC with FreeBSD 5.4 This secondary disk's capacity is 250 Gb. When I enter sysintall to try to format it and create a slice, FreeBSD says that the geometry of disk is not correct. I, then, type in the values detected by the BIOS as suggested, but FreeBSD still complains that those are not valid. FreeBSD sees the new disk as a disk of approx. 131 GB. So my question is: where is the problem? Is it that FreeBSD is not able to recognise such a big disk capacity? Any hint, suggestion, or web link would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance Aitor.
