/dev/lpt0: Device busy, lptcontrol: ioctl: Operation not supported
Hello My printing stopped working quite suddenly. Until today I used FBSD-6.3-prerelease (today I updated to 6.3-stable) on compaq armada 1700 laptop to print on a parallel HP laserjet 2100 printer in text mode and for postscript via apsfilter. All was fine. Then I got another parallel printer, epson lq-550 24-pin dot matrix, and played with printing on both printers by just unplugging one and plugging the other to the laptop's parallel port. For a while all was fine. However, after several days, I cannot now print on either printer. With laserjet I get # lptest 20 20 /dev/lpt0 /dev/lpt0: Device busy. With matrix printer I get # lptest 20 20 /dev/lpt0 # but nothing is printed. If I use the spooling system with laserjet I get # lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline?)

Re: mfsbsd
Quoting Chris Haulmark [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Anyone used mfsbsd to do remote install of a dedicated server with success? No, but.. Summary: A dedicated server has FreeBSD 6.x running with / as the entire partition of the entire disk. Hoping to find a solution to do reinstall remotely. That's unfortunate. Is it really the entire disk? If you even had, say, a swap partition you could potentially use it to bootstrap the process-- 1) Comment out swap line in /etc/fstab 2) Reboot 3) re-label and newfs the swap partition 4) dump/restore some or all of your existing setup to the new fs (or do a manual minimal install using sysinstall, or do an installworld with DESTDIR set to the new fs ...) 5) Change /etc/fstab on the ORIGINAL root partition (since that's still what you'll be booting from for now) to mount root from the new fs 6) Reboot and cross your fingers 7) Observe that the new fs is mounted and the original one is not. Make your partitioning changes. Move / restore / reinstall your directories and mountpoints as needed. 8) Make sure the /etc/fstab on the NEW root (preferrably on partition a) points to the right place. 9) Re-install the boot blocks on the disk and the slice for good measure (using fdisk and bsdlabel respectively) 10) Reboot and cross your fingers and toes 11) Observe that your original swap area is NOT mounted and that everything else is. Edit /etc/fstab to use your swap area for swap again. 12) swapon -a depenguinator seems incompatible with the current latest FreeBSD releases. Advices other than DRAC, IPKM or hire a tech are welcome. Using mfsbsd, depenguinator, or an approach like the one above there is at least one point in the process where you only get one chance to get it right. Depending on your personality this might be an adrenaline rush, but in any case you should have a backup plan such as DRAC, IPKM, or an available tech. Or an IP KVM (Belkin makes one that will let you use ISO images over the network as a USB CD).

I am presuming you are using the word 'stable' in a generic sense and not the official STABLE version sense - eg you want the version that is considered to be in place and reliable for use. If FreeBSD terminology, that is the RELEASE version. STABLE is used to reply to a sort of beta version that is reliable but still somewhat fluid in development. The term CURRENT is used for snapshots of the version that is being modified at the moment and which might not be reliable (but often is). So, you want FreeBSD 6.3 which just became a RELEASE version a few days ago.The 6.3 RELEASE is the latest and is a good place to start installation. If you want 7.0 features, then just wait a few days and it will also become RELEASE.The 7.0 branch is destined to become the new main branch quite soon and all work will be done on it (and, of course, head which is now 8.0, etc) One nice new feature available in 7.0 is ZFS. But, that is something people are just learning to use. If you look at the release notes for each branch, you will get brief descriptions of the changes and have an idea if those features are urgent for you. It is expected that no new major changes will be made to the 6.xx branch though bug fixes may cause another RELEASE (6.4) to be made before it is completely at end-of-life. jerry Thanks Navneet ___ 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]

It's actually pretty hard to stop an MTA from being able to send e-mail, given that is what it is designed to do. A quick fix would be to use the firewall on the box to block connection to port 25 outgoing.

Another approach worth trying would be to use a wildcard mailertable entry that redirects any mail back to root the local machine: localhost local: your.host.name local: . local:root or replace the last line with: . error:Mail to external sites not allowed in order to reject the message instantly.

make buildworld 6.x on 7.x?

I ask coz currently I have 3 FreeBSD 6.2 machines and I build the world and kernel on one of them and install on the others (while updating etc). When FreeBSD 7 releases I plan to move one of the machines to that (and this is the machine on which I build stuff currently) so I was wondering if its possible to continue with things the way they are now ... I understand I'll have to build separate port packages for 7.x and 6.x but I maybe there's some workaround for the base system ...?

Buildworld for slow system on faster system

Do you want to run another OS (even a different FreeBSD release)? Is it sufficient to prevent processes seeing each other? VMWare on FreeBSD is a no-op. Someone should really remove that port. That's nonsense. The current (very old) port is quite out-dated and it took me some time to get it running right e.g. with VMware 3 on FreeBSD 6.2. But it works! In most (though not all) cases Xen is a useful alternative to VMware. Of course Xen is driven by the Linux hype. All majors OS vendors support Xen. When virtualization solutions find their way into next generation's CPUs Xen might take over VMware. Xen is still weak on the management side. About a year ago rsync.net's 2007 code bounty called for a newer VMware port, but it's still in the state currently in progress (for half a year now). jail is your best option. See the handbook for details and install the ezjail port to make it more manageable. The drawback is that jail can only run other FreeBSD instances in the VM. Although jails are available far longer than zones in Solaris they have fallen behind. They lack a lot of features, e.g. no ressource management.

As the other person who replied pointed out, nfs mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj from the slow system to the fast system would nullify a lot of the speed advantage (although it is 100% GigE), but would let me keep the working /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow machine, which is the one that is actually getting used.

For friends who mail me URL's of pics, I use the GUI mail user agents. Is there a way me me, on desktops (FBSD and Ubuntu) to send/receive via the mailserver? The Kmail question is a bit on the strange side. When I hit the reply icon, a composer window pops up, but I cannot type in it! There is no echo to stdout. But the scroll-bar moves up so I'm guessing that **something** is being stuffed into the the composer buffer. Have any of you guys seen this before?

Paul, you do realize that Sierra is a known newsgroup spammer and that the lawsuit in question was just filed against a spamfighter by a spammer? Yes. Also, that the judgement that is in the post is actually a prepared order, written by Plaintiff's counsel, it wasn't written by the judge. Yes. This case is sitting in the appellate courts somewhere, gathering dust. Nobody has paid anything to anybody, except to the lawyers. Sierra makes their money selling to morons what Google gives out for free. Please, unless your willing to do the research, don't waste time commenting. He disobeyed a court order. That makes him a criminal. Only if the court in question has jurisdiction over him. The US courts found in favor of an anti-trust lawsuit against DeBeers around 20 years ago I think it was and the DeBeers family finally decided it was too much of a nuisance to avoid travelling into the US so they settled for some paltry 300 million this year (if you have ever bought a diamond and you still have the receipt you can get some settlement money) Did the US court have jurisdiction over a corporation that has no footprint in the US? They thought they did. DeBeers didn't. What do you think? How would you like it if some kangaroo court in Iran issued a judgement against you? Would you consider yourself a criminal? Whether what he was trying to do was right or not is irrelevant. Absolutely untrue. It is at the heart of the issue. Once the court told him to stop, he should have stopped. No. Once ALL AVENUES of appeal are exhausted AND a judgement was found against him, only then if he disobeys the final court order then can he be considered a criminal. As such happened with Microsoft during the anti-trust trial, etc. Until then, this is nothing more than a civil dispute between a spamfighter and a spammer. And as the spamfigher in question undoubtedly has no assets to his name, what is really going on here is a complicated political dance whereby the spammer is manipulating the courts in an attempt to bluster a threat against the spamfighter, and the spamfighter is manipulating the courts in an attempt to cost the spammer money in lawyer fees. A great many of these suits disappear when one or the other of the parties gets tired of paying the court costs and lawyers fees. And yes, I know full well that bad people take advantage of our courts every day. And good people often forget that courts are nothing more than another arm of the government, and quite often the solutions that come out of them are a result of political negotiation and compromise - exactly the same way that the legislative arm solves problems. You should read some history, there's been a lot of bad law that has been overturned. It never would have happened if people like Rosa Parks hadn't committed criminal acts from your viewpoint, and ignored court-supported orders and laws. You cannot sit there and say that just because someone is a criminal they are bad. Nor can you say that just because someone is not a criminal that they are good. Look no further than the current occupant of the White House for that. What is criminal in a good society is defined by what is wrong Sadly, that does not always happen. If you buy a DVD and make a copy for your own use according to DMCA you are a criminal. However if you buy a videotape of the same movie and make a copy for your own use you are not a criminal. Clearly, both actions are morally right They are almost the same action in fact. But one is illegal the other isn't. Can't you see here that the problem isn't the action but the law? In this lawsuit, the worst you can say is that both parties, the spammer and the spamfighter, are in the wrong. But I fail to see how the spammer can be right and the spamfighter is wrong You can, if you wish, argue the spammer is legal and the spamfigher is illegal But, this simply illustrates that the law is bad - and for many people it is a moral duty to violate bad law. And I for one, am very glad that they feel this way. Ted ___
Using mutt to access imap folders (was: mail questions: mutt and KDE)
freebsd-kde stripped from the recipient list.
Gary it's probably better to post *two* messages if you have two
unrelated questions. This way the traffic in freebsd-kde will not get
'polluted' with all the replies about mutt, which isn't really related
to KDE on FreeBSD.

Here's hopping that I'm still subscribed to the kde list, and that
somebody can answer these general mail-type questions.
You don't have to be subscribed to freebsd-kde to post.
Also, I would like some clues of how to if IF I can use mutt *with*
IMAP.
You can set ${MAIL} in your environment to an imap folder. Then firing
up mutt will select the imap folder by default, and you will be prompted
for a password.
Try for example the following:
$ MAIL='imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX'
You can store the IMAP username and password in ~/.muttrc too, but then
you should pay careful attention to the permissions of the file (even in
an internal network, it never hurts to be a bit cautious). The
following in your ~/.muttrc should do the trick:
set imap_user='gkeramidas'
set imap_pass='achmed!the!terrorist'
Then fire up mutt, and enjoy your new IMAP session.
One word of caution though. Setting $MAIL to an IMAP folder path in
your default environment may upset programs which don't really speak
IMAP the way mutt does, i.e. the command-line mail(1) utility.
The manual of mutt, which is accessible by hitting F1 while inside
mutt, is also a valuable resource for this sort of questions.
Specifically, the following section includes a very good example of how
you can handle multiple IMAP accounts in a single mutt session:
| 13. Managing multiple IMAP/POP accounts (OPTIONAL)
|
| If you happen to have accounts on multiple IMAP and/or POP
| servers, you may find managing all the authentication settings
| inconvenient and error-prone. The account-hook command may
| help. This hook works like folder-hook but is invoked whenever
| you access a remote mailbox (including inside the folder
| browser), not just when you open the mailbox.
|
| Some examples:
|
| account-hook . 'unset imap_user; unset imap_pass; unset tunnel'
| account-hook imap://host1/ 'set imap_user=me1 imap_pass=foo'
| account-hook imap://host2/ 'set tunnel=ssh host2 /usr/libexec/imapd'
There are *many* other details in the manual about using mutt to access
IMAP folders. You should definitely skim through the text at least
once in case you find some interesting option.
A text version of the full manual is available in /usr/local too:
/usr/local/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt
This is, actually, the file that you get to read when you hit F1
inside mutt.

mkisofs and timestamps in ISO-9660 filesystems
I posted this a few days ago and got only marginally helpful responses, so here it is again with more detail: 1) I'm using reasonably recent versions of things: # uname -a FreeBSD acer.wb4jcm.org 7.0-RC1 FreeBSD 7.0-RC1 #0: Mon Dec 24 10:10:07 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 # mkisofs -version mkisofs 2.01.01a37 (amd64-unknown-freebsd7.0) Copyright (C) 1993-1997 Eric Youngdale (C) 1997-2007 Jörg Schilling # pkg_info | grep cdrtools cdrtools-devel-2.01.01a37,1 CD/DVD and ISO-9660 image creation and extraction tools 2) My system is set to US Eastern Standard Time: # date Wed Jan 23 21:45:27 EST 2008 # date -u Thu Jan 24 02:45:49 UTC 2008 # TZ=EST date Wed Jan 23 21:46:53 EST 2008 # TZ=GMT date Thu Jan 24 02:46:58 GMT 2008 # echo $TZ # This is a dual boot system (with MS Vista), so the hardware clock is set to local time, not to GMT. I suspect this is significant. 3) I have a test file (just a bunch of zeroes). It's big because I wanted to see how quickly this system could write out a GB of data, but I get the same results with small files). The time stamp displayed by ls is correct for local time, and shows correct GMT time if I ask for it: # ls -l total 1049104 -rw-r--r-- 1 root bobj 1073741824 Jan 23 21:28 test.file --CORRECT # TZ=GMT ls -l total 1049104 -rw-r--r-- 1 root bobj 1073741824 Jan 24 02:28 test.file --CORRECT # 4) I use mkisofs to create an ISO filesystem with this test file in it: # mkisofs -R -J -o test.iso test.file 0.95% done, estimate finish Wed Jan 23 21:55:59 2008 [...] 99.15% done, estimate finish Wed Jan 23 21:54:46 2008 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 274 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 524469 extents written (1024 MB) 5) I use mdconfig to mount the ISO filesystem (I get the same results if I use burncd to burn a CD and then mount the CD): # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f test.iso -u 4 # mount_cd9660 /dev/md4 /mnt # 6) Now when I look at the dates on the ISO filesystem, they are wrong. They look like the correction for offset from GMT has been applied twice.

Is this a bug, or a misconfiguration, or a misunderstanding? And as a side issue, why is the incorrect last access time 16:37, rather than 16:54, since I built the ISO filesystem at 21:54? I have not yet tried moving a CD to a Windows system to see what the file timestamp shows there. I have tried this on two different FreeBSD systems (7.0-RC1 amd64, and 6.2-RELEASE-p9 i386) with both cdrtools and cdrtools-devel from ports, and get the same results. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can, if you wish, argue the spammer is legal and the spamfigher is illegal But, this simply illustrates that the law is bad - and for many people it is a moral duty to violate bad law. And I for one, am very glad that they feel this way. Again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that *so long as* you are fully willing to suffer the consequences. As with Rosa Parks, you may succeed in illustrating how unfair the law is and getting it changed, but you won't do it without paying a personal price. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Doubled files or directories on samba.
Hello, I have some strange behavior with some files and some directories being doubled on samba. When checking on freebsd file system all is OK. Mounting partitions on windows clients or connecting with smbclient would show some doubled files or directories. I mean the same file appear twice. When deleting one from windows both disappear but copying back the file from backup, again I have 2 files with the same name. smb: \ ls DATA\RON\E* EURO.XG0A 4096 Wed Jan 23 14:58:44 2008 EURO.XG0A 4096 Wed Jan 23 14:58:44 2008 First I've upgraded samba to the latest port version (samba-3.0.28,1) - no joy. I've made a jail (maybe the ports are messed?) only with samba. Same result. I've source upgraded to 6.3-RELEASE. Nice but didn't solve the problem. The system was stable and I cannot relate any software maintenance with the beginning of this behavior. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Re: make buildworld 6.x on 7.x?

Yes, I did this a few minutes ago in fact :) No special procedures are necessary, world builds are already suitably isolated from the host system for this to work. Awesome! Infact, I didn't think it would be possible. Like you have separate port packages for the 6.x and 7.x trees, I thought FreeBSD 6.x compiled on a FreeBSD 7.x system won't run. But I was obviously wrong. Guess its different for the base OS eh ...? Going by the same logic, is it possible that tomm I can download the sources for an OS like say, NetBSD, buildworld for it on my FreeBSD machine, and then install on a NetBSD machine?

Unspecified IPv6 Address
Hi, Why certain hosts of freebsd can be configurable with unspecified (::) (all-zero) IPv6 addresses in its interfaces? RFC 4291 clearly mentions this address must never be assigned to any node. Is there is any use-case or motivation behind accepting this address in an interface?

Subsequent alias IPs from the same block typically use 0x as the netmask -- this certainly used to be mandatory but I think that requirement was actually dropped fairly recently. Anyhow, in order to fix your problem, change the netmask for the 194.34 address in your /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=inet 213.112.194.34 netmask 0xffe0 Note: you don't actually need to supply both netmask and broadcast -- broadcast will be calculated for you automatically. You can also give the netmask in 'slash notation' like so: ifconfig fxp0 inet 213.112.194.34/27 alias If this is configured correctly, then you should see routes for both 213.112.194.34/27 and 213.112.195.98/27 in the output of 'netstat -rn' Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHmDPe8Mjk52CukIwRCMe4AJsH64LMk3H3HCXCi4xXbo7gUIBuCACbBGbm I+qdHOSXJcNVHtq4OAbfg0M= =NiOh -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
