IPv6 Auto Discovery
Mac OS-X does a form of auto discovery on IPv6 where the machines on a local network add the machine name to the ndp table when they see activity from that machine. So far I only have a rudimentary IPv6 configuration on FreeBSD 7 running and it only sees the IP address, and then only after I ping the other end. I couldn't find anything in /etc/defaults that seems to address auto discovery. Is this something I have missed or what?

How to solve it? Well, you're already 99% of the way there. You can't run sshd both as a standalone daemon and as a service to be started from inetd. As the error message says, they both try and bind to the same network port which is never going to work. Running sshd out of inetd is weird and unnatural, so I suggest you just comment out the ssh line in inetd.conf and restart the inetd service: /etc/rc.d/inetd restart Then make sure sshd is running happilly: /etc/rc.d/sshd restart (bouncing sshd like this is even safe to do if you're logged in via ssh...)

Library mapping question
Hi all I have same name libraries in two different locations, eg. /usr/lib/libXXX.so and /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so. They were created using same sources and the same compiler. The app1 is linked with /usr/lib/libXXX.so and app2 is linked with /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so. When app2 is run, the dynamic linker (ld-elf.so.1) finds /usr/lib/libXXX.so first and ends up with following error: undefined reference to `_myxxx' This is not an issue with Linux's dynamic linker but it seems FreeBSD's function look up is very specific. I cannot change the dynamic linker's search path, then app1 fails. How do I get the app2 to refer to /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so? In FreeBSD, is there a way to instruct the dynamic linker (ld-elf.so.1) to continue to search for the same library name in different locations? What are the other possible options?

Re: Linux for freebsd admins
In response to Ian Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have to install a linux machine and don't know which distribution to take. I highly recommend CentOS for the following reasons: 1) It's free. 2) It's kept up to date. 3) It's 100% Red Hat compatible, which means: a) 99% of the howtos on the internet will work b) 99% of the Linux packages you find will work c) You can lie to vendors and tell them you're running Red Hat to get support. As for the packages thing: 300 seems to be about the minimum # of packages to make a working Linux install. Keep in mind that _everything_ is a package in Linux, even the kernel, so just installing typical stuff like ls and ps and top adds packages to the system. The CentOS installer does have an option for an X-less install. The Red Hat mentality doesn't go much for rolling your own packages, so you might not like CentOS for that reason, but it's a compromise. They have a # of upgrade managers similar to portupgrade, such as up2date and yum. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So far I only have a rudimentary IPv6 configuration on FreeBSD 7 running and it only sees the IP address, and then only after I ping the other end. What you see above is normal functionality of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC-4861). The 'neighbor cache' only gets populated with entries when IP communication takes place, or you receive/accept a router advertisement with a list of prefixes (ndp -p). The fact that names are not appearing is due to (mis|non) configuration of DNS either for the resolver on the box itself, or reverse DNS missing for the LAN IPs as stated above. To add a DNS server in FreeBSD, simply: # echo nameserver ip.of.name.server /etc/resolv.conf I couldn't find anything in /etc/defaults that seems to address auto discovery. Is this something I have missed or what? Perhaps you are referring to 'Auto Configuration' (RFC-4862)? Neighbor Discovery and Auto Configuration perform different tasks, but the former is required by the latter. Can you describe exactly what you want to achieve? Is it only the name resolution problem you described above?

As for the packages thing: 300 seems to be about the minimum # of

_everything_ is a package in Linux, even the kernel, so just installing
typical stuff like ls and ps and top adds packages to the system.

The CentOS installer does have an option for an X-less install.

The Red Hat mentality doesn't go much for rolling your own packages,
so you might not like CentOS for that reason, but it's a compromise.
actually, i've been rolling my own rpms from srpms and it IS quite simple.
They have a # of upgrade managers similar to portupgrade, such as
up2date and yum.
yum is 100 times better than up2date (except that u can't run 2 instances of

I installed PAM which put ldap.conf.dist in /usr/local/etc. I installed NSS which put nss_ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc. From looking at them I assume that the last two are the same file and one of them just needs to be renamed to ldap.conf and configured for PAM and NSS, is that correct? The ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc/openldap is a different config file even though it has the same name? It is used for openldap and the other is used for PAM and NSS? Thanks for any info. openldap/ldap.conf is the OpenLDAP client configuration. You're likely looking for the LDAP server configuration, openldap/slapd.conf etc/ldap.conf is for PAM, and etc/nss_ldap.conf are not to be merged. I've played ***VERY*** briefly with LDAP authentication through PAM and NSS, and both were required. I can't quote easily what the difference between NSS and PAM is, but all the docs I referenced from Google when I searched said I needed both. It's theoretically possible to use only one file for all three, but you really need to know what you're doing. (with symlinks) OpenLDAP tools, pam_ldap and nss_ldap have more or less the same configuration options. But there are a few quite subtle differences between them, the easiest thing is to just configure them separately while having a look at the appropriate man page. Additionally, they don't start to bark at you, when you configure a parameter that does not exist (in pam_ldap or nss_ldpa only etc.). It wouldn't be easy to find out that the syntax of one of the three was changed, etc. Jan-Hendrik Zab ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Disk configuration recommendations
Hi everyone, We've just built a new network storage box that will replace an existing unit. The device is purely for storing a hot backup of server images. The motherboard has four SATA ports, which I have connected to four 500GB SATA drives. I had full intentions on using either GEOM or ZFS (I'm just reading up on the latter now) to span the drives together (I don't care about redundancy on this unit). I did not realize until yesterday that the motherboard my colleague went with has onboard RAID. What I'm looking for are opinions on a solution to make this box as resilient as possible for the long term (eg: if the motherboard dies, it would be nice to drop the disks into another box). Do you have any recommendations on how I should proceed? Hardware RAID, ZFS or GEOM? Some info that may help guide recommendations: - 4GB of memory - dual core 2.2Ghz - I have no problem having /boot on a USB key - preferably /backup to be ~1.6TB - like to have a small piece of the disk encrypted (directory or partition) - would be nice to be able to easily (ie: dynamically) add storage capacity without wiping existing data - three GigE NICs, so would like to pursue the possibility of perhaps using disk space of other nodes (or at least mounting it remotely) - would consider a RAID 5 setup if a recommendation meets other (non-listed) design objectives Thanks all!

Want to retrieve them by cvs. - an equivalent to portupgrade. Could you tell me which distribution you are using when you have no choice and need to go to linux ? Well, sort of. In my case I did have a choice. I just recently switched my home PC from Linux to FreeBSD after having been a Linux user since the 1.xx kernel, not to mention the i486, days. I've tried many Linux distros over the years, some source based and some binary package based. From the above it sounds like you want a source based system. I've tried several. I ran Gentoo for a few years before I got fed up with it and moved on. I think of the completely source based distros I've tried my favorite was SourceMage. As others have suggested, CRUX or ArchLinux might be good choices for your requirements. Although I think the CRUX ports system uses rsync instead of CVS to update the ports tree. I forget what Arch uses. If you don't want a GUI installer, you can't get much less GUI than CRUX. Quite a bit of the installation process is done by hand. One first uses fdisk and mkfs to partition and format their hard drive, mounts the partitions, then runs the setup script to install packages. After the packages are installed, one exits the installer, chroots into the new system, edits fstab, rc.conf, etc., by hand, compiles/installs a custom kernel, then installs a boot loader. I ran CRUX for a while followed by ArchLinux for a while and liked them both. The Linux distro I was running just before switching my home PC to FreeBSD was Debian, and I think overall it's the one I liked best. It has a text based installer, and one can install a minimal system via the installer, then install other needed packages later. Although it is binary package based rebuilding packages from source isn't too difficult, once one gets the hang of it. There were a few Debian packages I found the need to rebuild. For example, the ffmpeg package available from debian-multimedia.org has mmx disabled. Enabling mmx roughly triples it's performance. My notes on rebuilding the package can be found at: http://www.RawFedDogs.net/DebianFfmpegMMX.html Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.

If the latter is the case, you are going to have to tell the second instance to use a different socket file. # touch /tmp/mysql.sock2 # chmod mysql_user:mysql_group /tmp/mysql.sock2 and then, I believe if you add this to your /etc/my.cnf file: [mysqld] socket=/tmp/mysql.sock2 This should start at least one of your instances on the new socket, leaving the other one alone.

Re: Ldap NSS PAM Samba
I am trying to setup a FreeBSD server with samba that uses OpenLdap. I have installed everything and was doing some configuring. I set this all up once before on a Linux box, but I basically just went through the motions and really was not sure what all I did...but it worked. Now I want to understand everything so that I know exactly what all I did. :) I have the following: I installed OpenLdap which put ldap.conf in /usr/local/etc/openldap.

Thanks for any info. openldap/ldap.conf is the OpenLDAP client configuration. You're likely looking for the LDAP server configuration, openldap/slapd.conf True. etc/ldap.conf is for PAM, and etc/nss_ldap.conf are not to be merged. False. You can symlink nss_ldap.conf to ldap.conf. Keep them seperate if you like to edit configuration files that contain the exact same data. This way you can make mistakes. (Just kidding :) Both nss_ldap and pam_ldap use the same configuration when they both need to query the same LDAP server. If, for a reason, your company uses different LDAP servers for PAM and NSS (say you just purchased another company or something), then you need to keep etc/nss_ldap.conf and etc/ldap.conf(5) files seperate. Otherwise, IMHO you should try and use a single LDAP server for all your data. Using several LDAP repository is the path to the dark side... (and to a lot of problems!) If you do have more then one LDAP server (say an OpenLDAP, an Oracle Internet Directory and a Microsoft Active Directory for instance), then setup referals between them. Or better yet, dump an LDIF file of one and import it to another and drop one of the LDAP server altogether (or just use it as a referal point for it's data if you can't rip it out of your network). It's not an easy task, but it sure is possible. I've played ***VERY*** briefly with LDAP authentication through PAM and NSS, and both were required. I can't quote easily what the difference between NSS and PAM is, but all the docs I referenced from Google when I searched said I needed both. NSS stands for Name Service Switch. Normally it's achieved via /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Basically it's telling applications where to look for data (i.e. local files, NIS, NIS+, LDAP, DNS) for the various data sources (i.e. groups, users, hosts, etc). See nsswitch.conf(5) and getent(1) and http://www.padl.com/OSS/nss_ldap.html for details. PAM stands for Pluggable Authentication Modules. It's an easy way to plug various authentication methods into an existing infrastructure. It basically allows you to use the local files, a Kerberos realm, an LDAP directory and such to decides who can login to your machines without having to rewrite the entire authentication mechanisms. See pam.conf(5) and pam(3) plus http://www.padl.com/OSS/pam_ldap.html for details. Why do you need both NSS and PAM? Well, suppose you decide that you want to use a Kerberos realm to authenticate and that the Kerberos principals (or users if you prefer) are stored in an LDAP directory. Now suppose an SSH connection comes in from user bob. Your machine will check the PAM configuration as to which PAM modules it should check for authentication. It will use NSS to know where to check in order to find out who is this bob user (will it be in the local passwd file or in the LDAP directory?) Once it finds where bob is stored (if he exists) then it will compare the passwd string (or the Kerberos ticket if our example) and use PAM to locate which module it has to compare the ticket or password against.

Re: Linux for freebsd admins
You hit on my key point... maintainability... i feel FreeBSD ports, Debians based APT systems, Arch, and to an extent Gentoo, are maintainable, Gentoo in my opinion being the least so, why the portage system, though useable is not 100% admin freindly in my opinion. Notice i said in my opinion. I did not say it wasnt functional, but there is a learning curve to becoming a serious Gentoo administrator, where with FreeBSD ports/packages, and Debians APT that curve is far less. case in point, give a windows admin 3-4 systems, one Debian, one FreeBSD, One Gentoo, One SLackware, one RPM based for 60 days, in the end youll see which they prefer because they find the learning curve far less and get more accomplished in productions with, trust me, this has been tried and proven many times, its great for finding employees potential capacities. and in the end... I have found all people tested choose FreeBSD, then a Debian based derivitive, why because maintenance capabilities on these systems far out stretches the rest. its just easier to do. lreaving more time for focusing on production efficiency. i may be painful for them but in the end, your employees will get more accomplished when you choose the right OS.

many things in common if you ask me (thanks to Gentoo I am now on freeBSD).
so... i wonder why this app wouldnt run on Ubuntu Server or Debian for
that
matter, whats the application, because Debian is by far the easiest and
most
sensible from a mmanageability aspect
Why do you want to dumb down? I don't want to talk down any Linux system
(EXCEPT RED HAT) but Gentoo is more stable, and the footprint is quite
small, more manageable, and they don't put out release after release. Gentoo
is more of a server system but makes a great desktop as well.

Re: Install failure for 7.0-RELEASE (Need help!)
No, it's not the cable. The cable works just fine, which is why I _am_ able to make it all the way down until late in the Stage 3 boot, *and* also why I _acn_m get all of the way down to the install menu (while using the same drive cable) when I boot from an old 6.1-RELEASE install disk. I have also now checked that it isn't a problem with the CD ROM drive. I _was_ able to boot and get all of the way own to the install menu using the exact same CD _and_ the exact same CD ROM drive on a different Athlon XP based system that I have. So it seems clear to me that the problem is that 7.0-RELEASE just doesn't get along with the motherboard and/or chipset that happens to be in this one particular system. (Again, the motherboard is an ASUS A7N266-VM/AA I don't know offhand what chipset that has on it, but I do know that it has intergrated on-board graphics.) Lookie here! I'm apparently not the only one who has gotten this exact same problem, also with an Athlon XP 2000: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg190114.html Hummm... yea. OK. This is definitely NOT just me having this problem: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113160 Seems that the real problem may have nothing at all to do with the READ_BIG errors on the CD ROM drive just prior to the point where the mountroot prompt comes up. There is a whole 'nother problem that I was being distracted from by those CD read errors (which are apparenntly recoverable... at least as shown by a different Athlon system I have where I _can_ get to the 7.0 Install menu). Sigh. So I guess I'll have to file a real PR on this because the suggested fix for PR 113160 simply won't work for me... the BIOS on this particular ASUS motherboard has been customized by ASUS and it provides no way to disable the 15M-16M memory hole. :-( Major bummer.

general question - php5 extensions
I've been banging my head for 2 days trying to get php5 compiled with extensions OR a way to find the .so files so it could dynamically link them. I've finally stumbled on the php5-* directories in the ports tree and it's compiling extensions right now, except that I keep having to deinstall an extension then restart the php5-extension make again so it can continue. Why isn't there a single folder under the lang/php5 directory that would put all of the extensions in the same place? Having them broken up into all of the varying places in the tree makes it extremely difficult to find them. Or maybe at least have sym links to them in one place.

Re: Disk configuration recommendations
Steve Bertrand wrote: Hi everyone, Do you have any recommendations on how I should proceed? Hardware RAID, ZFS or GEOM? To answer my own post... After a day of research, I decided upon ZFS. I configured a raidz pool using all four entire disks. I've put /boot on a USB thumb stick which I boot from, which allows me to mount / and the rest of the system directly from the ZFS pool. This prevents me from having to have a UFS slice on one of the disks, or install another hard drive just to run the system from. The idea was essentially copied from how I run my GELI systems. Boot from USB stick that contains the encryption key. Once the system is booted, I take the USB stick with me, which prevents access to the data if the machine is shut down.

So far I only have a rudimentary IPv6 configuration on FreeBSD 7 running and it only sees the IP address, and then only after I ping the other end. What you see above is normal functionality of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (RFC-4861). The 'neighbor cache' only gets populated with entries when IP communication takes place, or you receive/accept a router advertisement with a list of prefixes (ndp - p). The fact that names are not appearing is due to (mis|non) configuration of DNS either for the resolver on the box itself, or reverse DNS missing for the LAN IPs as stated above. To add a DNS server in FreeBSD, simply: # echo nameserver ip.of.name.server /etc/resolv.conf I couldn't find anything in /etc/defaults that seems to address auto discovery. Is this something I have missed or what? Perhaps you are referring to 'Auto Configuration' (RFC-4862)? Neighbor Discovery and Auto Configuration perform different tasks, but the former is required by the latter. Can you describe exactly what you want to achieve? Is it only the name resolution problem you described above? I originally thought it was a DNS issue also. There is no DNS server on the network. However, that doesn't seem to bother the Macs as they quickly pick up the names of the machines and disseminate them to each other without a DNS server. This is a test setup and systems come and go frequently. I don't want the hassle of having to maintain a DNS server that would require modes several times a day. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Printer Installation
Ah, BSD you use.. its likely that /usr/bin/lp what you invoke is the wrong one (there is the path set to it). If you have installed the cups-port, there will be another lp -- /usr/local/bin/lp -- the one cups uses (compare the filesize). Rename /usr/bin/lp to /usr/bin/lp.backup so it will not use this one and then try again, invoking lp should take /usr/local/bin/lp then.

You should define CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE when building cups. This will
install cups's lp* programs over the system programs. The easiest
way to do that is to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/print/cups*}
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true
.endif
Then rebuild and re-install the cups-base port.
To prevent the next system rebuild from undoing this, you should also
add
WITHOUT_LPR=true
to /etc/src.conf.

Hola Juan,
please keep replying to the list (CC to me is fine too, but not just to me,
otherwise any information provided privately will not be available to others)
I am maklng a script because they dont know nothing about UNIX (and
computers ;D )
In .profile i call the script Disk1 which is like:
trap CTRL-Keys,
if (geli attach) then
if (fsck) then
if (mount USB disk) then
OK
All automatic for the user.
How can I give the operators sudo access to geli?
install security/sudo from ports
then
man sudo
and have a look at /usr/local/etc/sudoers . You edit it with visudo.
with sudo you can tell the system allow these users, or this group of users,
to execute this command as if they were root, using their own password to
authenticate . OR without a password.
IOW, you could make those users be able to run geli as root without a password.
I dont use sudo for the script (must I?),
if you can get away with sudo for geli only, then just do sudo geli in your
script. otherwise u can always do sudo yourscript.sh, but you must ensure the
script is very secure - you wouldn't want someone changing the contents of that
script and running it as root!
also, when using sudo, ALWAYS use full paths , eg, /sbin/geli - the user could
create a script in their homedir called 'geli', change their PATH settings to
look in ./ first, and then you could be in a lot of trouble.
Buena suerte,
Beto

Re: general question - php5 extensions
Ok, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been. It wasn't that I didn't find php5-extensions, or even that it's difficult to use, but actually tracking down the php5-extensions directory in the first place was somewhat of a problem because there is no mention anywhere of it in the lang/php5 doc files. I finally stumbled on a reference to it in a 2 year old doc I found on google while looking for how to make .so extension extensions be found by php. There's also a couple of extensions not in the php5-extensions list, but I found them as well (samba share, dir php5-* /ad /s starting in the /usr/ports directory helped a lot). You're portmanager line has been very helpful, everything that I was trying to get installed is actually working! I only had one problem and that's because Mail-Toaster defines itself as a package without defining an ORIGIN line in it's +CONTENTS pkg file. Once I added that I stopped getting portmanager upgrade errors and everything got properly upgraded and compiled.

I've finally stumbled on the php5-* directories in the ports tree and it's compiling extensions right now, except that I keep having to deinstall an extension then restart the php5-extension make again so it can continue. Why isn't there a single folder under the lang/php5 directory that would put all of the extensions in the same place? Having them broken up into all of the varying places in the tree makes it extremely difficult to find them. Or maybe at least have sym links to them in one place. This is just for discussion, I don't expect an actual answer.. Are you referring to 'php5-extensions-1.1' in the ports tree? Assuming you have installed php5 via ports, why couldn't you just run: portupgrade -NRryv php5-extensions You will probably want to run 'make config' in that directory before running portupgrade. You could also use portmanager: portmanager lang/php5-extensions -p -y -l HTH -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh, give me a home, Where the buffalo roam, And I'll show you a house with a really messy kitchen.

Is /etc/libmap.conf specification correct? In all the examples I've seen, the mapping entries in libmap.conf(5), i.e., the ones in the second column, are relative to the search path for libraries. Further, it is better to use only the basename of the executable in the constraint of the mapping --- the part enclosed by square brackets. So, the following may work: cd /usr/local/lib ln -s libXXX.so libFOO.so to distinguish it from the one in `/usr/lib', which directory comes earlier in the search path. Then, append these two lines to `/etc/libmap.conf': [app2] libXXX.so libFOO.so HTH, Raghavendra. Hi Raghavendra Thanks for the reply. It's most promising for the moment. Mel's method may be used next time when I build the app. Best Regards Unga ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
