csup and cvsup function the same, and they both rely on the same source

Note that csup only supports a subset of cvsup functionality.  The
most obvious missing feature is CVS mode.

If you really want Windows and FreeBSD to play well together, your
best option is to run Samba on the FreeBSD box and use UFS2 filesystems,
then make the Windows machine mount shares from the FreeBSD machine.

I agree in general but this can also lead to similar gotchas on the
Windows side if the Unix side has files differing only in case.

If what you wish to do is simply get rid of /usr in a string, you can use sed 
like so:
varWithoutUsr=`echo ${varWithUsr} |sed -e 's/\/usr//'`
After running this, where $varWithUsr is the variable containing a string like /usr/home/blah, the variable $varWithoutUsr will be equal to /home/blah.  I create simple scripts like this all the time to rename batches of files, for example.  

The easier way is probably just to not specify a dir to scp's remote path though, since it defaults to the user's home directory.  


Or, in anything resembling Bourne shell:

varWithoutUsr=${varWithUsr#/usr}

Cheers,

Matthew

And I'll take a moment to recommend Matthew's method, since it does not
involve fork()ing an additional process.

When writing shell scripts in general, it's best if you can avoid
spawning external processes for things which can be done easily
(keyword: easily!) within Bourne natively.  There's no harm in doing it
for more complex things, but fork() is somewhat expensive, and try to
imagine what will happen to those scripts if the system lacks process
table space, etc...  :-)  Best to try and make everything
self-contained if possible.

Re: Cannot compile kde4 or gnome2 due to gstreamer-plugin error

2008-10-12 Thread freebsdemail

Thomas I fetched the latest portsnap and it seems I can't compile 
gstream-plugins either I get the identical error there must be something wrong 
with this portyou are not alone. I'm on freebsd 7.0 release. I hope they 
get it fixed soon as I think its a dependancy for both kde and gnome.

Hi Guys I'm running current(8.0) from last nights cvsup. I cannot
however compile kde4 or gnome2-lite due to an error in compiling
gstreamer-plugins. It looks like the error is originating from: cc: No

pam_ldap pam_password crypt option doesn't work...?

2008-10-12 Thread Berk Gulenler

Hi,

I'm trying to authenticate users from OpenLDAP. In LDAP userPassword
fields are crypted. So I'm trying to use pam_password crypt option in
ldap.conf.
But in LDAP log the the password data from pam_ldap module always is in
clear text. What could be wrong?  Thanks in advance.

ldap.conf

host *host*
base ou=people,dc=boun.edu.tr,o=BU
ldap_version 3

pam_login_attribute uid
pam_password crypt

Service conf file

I also tryed use_mapped_pass option, but it didn't worked.

Gvinum Auto recovery.

2008-10-12 Thread Cong Do

I'm making a script to manage my raid.This is what my script is doing to
recover my raid.

umount /dev/gvinum/r5

#remove the raid
gvinum rm -r d0
gvinum rm -r d1
gvinum rm -r d2
gvinum rm -r d3

gvinum rm r5.p0.s$1
bsdlabel -w /dev/da$1

gvinum create myraid.conf

gvinum setstate -f stale r5.p0.s$1
gvinum start r5
fsck -t ufs /dev/gvinum/r5


#myraid.conf
drive d0 device /dev/da0
drive d1 device /dev/da1
drive d2 device /dev/da2
drive d3 device /dev/da3
volume r5
plex org raid5 512k
sd drive d0
sd drive d1
sd drive d2
sd drive d3



Is this the way that I should be recovering my raid?

With hot swap do I have to do the same for SCSI and SATA, or gvinum will
auto detected?

I notice that when I change my hard disk around gvinum stop working.

I run the combination you have (except Mailman is 2.1.9 and FreeBSD is

I'm running mailman 2.1.11 (installed from ports) without the  described

So in at least one case, Apache, FreeBSD and Mailman 2.1.11 work  without

Re: freebsd7 kde4 performance

2008-10-12 Thread t-u-t



  One thing I am curious of is if you're running i386 FreeBSD, or another
 architecture (amd64, ia64, etc?)

 I'm running 7.0 stable with ULE scheduler on i386 architecture (since
 it's Pentium M). I've tried to use kde4 out of the box (after
 compilation). Whole kde is running poorly. I have to wait seconds for
 any action to complete (right mouse button, moving windows, moving
 widgets, etc), so, as you can imagine, I'm not that patient to tweak any
 settings while using kde4. Now I see that many of you are using nvidia
 binary drivers, maybe this is the answer why my kde4 is running so slow.


if you have the free space you could try pcbsd7 to see what some extra work
can do for it.
someone recommended it earlier, rather than the straight upstream stock port
(whatever that means)

the nvidia driver did make much difference for me

Can tcsh report 'command had no output'?

2008-10-12 Thread Kelly Jones

Can I force tcsh to say previous command returned empty stdout or
something? I often cut and paste shell output for my cow-orkers, and
it's crucial to note when a command returns nothing.

Currently, I insert the information manually:

 ls | fgrep 'phrase'
[no results]

but it'd be nice if tcsh had a setting to do this automatically?

I resolved things using the libncures (/usr/lib/libncurses.so) and ssl

and I have never had problems since then.

solution: 

I remove the package ncurses and openssl.

for those packages that insist in ncurses.so.6 and ssl

Perhaps newsyslog could support filenames in strftime(3) format, eg.

I think the format of newsyslog.conf might need to change to allow

Installation Hangs

2008-10-12 Thread ton80


Hello,
I am trying to install FreeBSD.
During the install (actually at the beginning of the process) the system
hangs indefinitely.
When it gets to the select country screen...it is frozen.
During the boot process, as it is reading all the hardware, it finds the USB
controller OK then later it states there was an IO error and that the USB
controller is halted. I have a USB Keyboard and mouse...so I would say the
problem is here.
Is there any workaround I can use to get things going?

Thanks,

 I rechecked the discs with a verify tool using the original iso files

A couple comments:

1) This isn't telling me anything.  For all I know the verify tool
only compares ISO file contents to what's on a disc -- that probably
will return success.

You need to realise there's a *lot* of information in the ISO header
which defines the type of disc it is, and types of extensions it
supports (Joliet, Red Ridge, etc.).  And the burning software has to
properly know how to use those bits, otherwise it can do the wrong
thing.

2) Some older CD drives apparently report FreeBSD discs as Audio CDs
(even inside of Windows).  I've seen this happen once in my life, but I
was not trying to install FreeBSD (I was just inserting the disc into a
Windows PC to see what was on it).

The below thread is of a fellow running into the same problem: and his
issue turned out to be a very old/unreliable CD drive, which he likely
(eventually) replaced.  He resorted to installing off of another machine
over the network, but you get the point:

I'm inclined to believe the installation isn't hung, but rather that
FreeBSD isn't properly working with your USB keyboard (this is very
likely, given the state of USB on FreeBSD -- work is underway on CURRENT
to fix these problems), so you think the installation is hung, but
in reality it's just waiting for a keypress.

The only workaround I can think of would be to get a PS/2 keyboard and
use that.  Chances are even if you get the OS installed, you probably
won't be able to type at the console (with the USB keyboard).  :-)

And please remember that on many systems you should reboot the system
after plugging in or removing a PS/2 keyboard; hot-swapping only works
on some motherboards.

Re: The disc in your drive looks more like an Audio CD than a FreeBSDrelease

2008-10-12 Thread Kiffin

Thanks for the prompt response. However, I have a brand-new ASUS X59XL
notebook so the CD drive isn't old. Could it be that the CD drive is too
new and not recognized properly bt FreeBSD rather than too old?

A couple comments:

only compares ISO file contents to what's on a disc -- that probably
will return success.

You need to realise there's a *lot* of information in the ISO header
which defines the type of disc it is, and types of extensions it
supports (Joliet, Red Ridge, etc.). And the burning software has to
properly know how to use those bits, otherwise it can do the wrong
thing.

2) Some older CD drives apparently report FreeBSD discs as Audio CDs
(even inside of Windows). I've seen this happen once in my life, but I
was not trying to install FreeBSD (I was just inserting the disc into a
Windows PC to see what was on it).

The below thread is of a fellow running into the same problem: and his
issue turned out to be a very old/unreliable CD drive, which he likely
(eventually) replaced. He resorted to installing off of another machine
over the network, but you get the point:

It's very possible that the disc burning software you used did something
incorrectly, or did something custom. What program burnt the CD? If a
UNIX program, what flags did you give it?

fail with wireless network configuration with SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

2008-10-12 Thread Zhang Weiwu

Hello. I am trying to get an AboveCable (model: ACPC 2000-01) wireless

1) There's nothing special about the FreeBSD CDs. They are Mode 1
discs, and do not use anything like Joliet filesystem extensions (so
that MS-DOS can see all the filenames in 8.3 format).

2) The age of the CD drive has nothing to do with what sort of
extensions and capabilities it has. I should have been more precise
when I gave you facts talking about old CD drives -- it's likely that
fellow's Teac CD drive has a buggy firmware, and it's highly possible
that your Asus laptop has the same problem.

3) ATAPI is ATAPI; FreeBSD does not have CD drive-specific drivers.
It would be much more likely that FreeBSD wouldn't find the CD at all
(or any hard disks, etc.) due to the ATA controller not being supported.
Yours appears supported, otherwise FreeBSD wouldn't even know the *type*
of disc.

I would recommend you contact Asus Support and ask them to burn an ISO
of FreeBSD and try to install it on that laptop, to reproduce your
problem. If they can reproduce it, they should be able to figure out
what's causing the issue; if they can't, then it may be a problem with
your laptop specifically.

P.S. -- This audio CD problem goes all the way back to FreeBSD 2.2.6
or earlier. It's not a new problem, but it's very rare. Because of
this fact, I strongly doubt the problem is with FreeBSD, and rather
with buggy firmwares in CD drives.

Kiffin,

  I assume that your booting off the CDC on the laptop?  If so I
doubt that the CD is burned incorrectly.  If you want to check if the
burn is correct on the CD then go to another machine and boot and
install FBSD on it with your CD.

  In any case, we really cannot support CD burning software that isn't
running
on FreeBSD here and it is IMHO a distraction to even discuss it.

  I suspect a bug in the FreeBSD atapi driver, or a bug in the
notebook CD drive firmware.

  What you need to do is boot from your CD, then select a FTP
server as the install server during the installation and install
FreeBSD.  Then try to mount a standard data CD under FreeBSD in
the laptop and see if it understands it.  If that works then
install the cd burning tools from the FreeBSD ports and try
to burn a CD.  If that works then we can assume that the
Windows/DOS whatever burning tools you used are crap - which
doesen't matter since your just using that crap to bootstrap
into FreeBSD anyway.  Right?

Ted

PS  I strongly suspect once you get FreeBSD loaded you will not
be able to mount off-the-shelf data CD's in your laptop's CD
drive.  If this is so we really need for you to file a PR
on this.

 Subject: Installation Hangs

 Hello,
 I am trying to install FreeBSD.
 During the install (actually at the beginning of the process) the system
 hangs indefinitely.
 When it gets to the select country screen...it is frozen.
 During the boot process, as it is reading all the hardware, it
 finds the USB
 controller OK then later it states there was an IO error and that the USB
 controller is halted. I have a USB Keyboard and mouse...so I would say the
 problem is here.
 Is there any workaround I can use to get things going?

Yes, you can remove the hard disk, put it in a different machine,
install FreeBSD on it, then move the disk back.

You could always try installing with JUST the USB keyboard or
with a -different- USB keyboard.

I would suspect that if you stick in a Linux Ubuntu install CD
and it also fails to detect keyboard and mouse, that you will
get more traction with your machine hardware manufacturer when
reporting a problem.  Hopefully your system is a new one within
the 30 day return window and you can return it and get a different
one.

One last thing - it might be possible that your machine motherboard
has a port for a standard keyboard, with a header on the motherboard,
and it just isn't brought out the back of the machine.

Please also post the make and model of the motherboard in use so
we know what to avoid here.

 Yes, you can remove the hard disk, put it in a different

At that point, if you don't need a graphical console, then a serial console

 You'll probably be told to check the supported hw list to start with.

No, the install process breaks down when I go to the disk

RAID migration

2008-10-12 Thread Anthony Chavez

Dear freebsd-questions,

I have a HighPoint 1820 RAID controller that is using 1 channel for an
OS drive and 3 channels for a RAID-5 array.  I'm interested in migrating
to a new (possibly non-HighPoint) card, and am wondering if I will be
able to plug the OS drive into one channel on the new card and have it
just work.  Is it a safe bet that it will?

I'm curious to know if the array could be migrated just as easily, or if
I should listen to my instinct and count on bumping into
incompatibilities due to proprietary implementations.

Here are the relevant dmesg lines of my system as it stands:

It probably will work, assuming that the OS disk is not configured
as a RAID or array member in the RAID cards' BIOS.  Meaning, if you're
using the disk on the controller purely in a JBOD fashion, yes, it
should work.

I can absolutely guarantee you that you will lose access to all of your
data once you plug those 3 disks into another controller.

You need to back up all of your data from the RAID-5 array using
something like rsync, cpdup, or dump, move the disks over to the
non-RAID controller, format them (in whatever fashion you want),
and then restore the backup.

In the WebGUI's logical device information section, that particular

out as a RAID 5 array.  When I shut the machine down, I will check the
BIOS itself to see if it specifically states JBOD.  Thanks for the

Regardless, I will be backing it up before I attempt to plug it into a

  It probably will work, assuming that the OS disk is not configured
  as a RAID or array member in the RAID cards' BIOS.  Meaning, if you're
  using the disk on the controller purely in a JBOD fashion, yes, it
  should work.
 
 In the WebGUI's logical device information section, that particular
 drive is listed as a hard disk whereas the other 3 are clearly spelled
 out as a RAID 5 array.  When I shut the machine down, I will check the
 BIOS itself to see if it specifically states JBOD.  Thanks for the
 pointer.

It probably won't.  JBOD is just a term used to describe a hard disk
hooked to a RAID controller but not part of a RAID array.

I'd start by pulling the OS disk out and hooking it to a non-Highpoint
controller and ensure it boots.  Chances are it will.

Some advice, assuming you haven't done this before:

1) Make note of what your filesystem layout is before migrating.  df
output should be sufficient.

2) When you boot it, FreeBSD will probably complain unable to determine
root filesystem.  I'm guessing these are ATA/SATA disks.  The kernel
messages shown should list off what ATA disks are attached, and you'll
have to make some educated guesses as to what it is, e.g. ufs:ad4s1a
rather than the old ufs:da0s1a.  You'll have to mount all the
filesystems by hand (mount /dev/ad4s1d /var, etc. -- this is what #1 was
for :-) ) so you can get access to vi, so you can vi /etc/fstab and fix
the problem.

You can also use ed(1) to do the fstab editing without having to mount
everything, if you're familiar with it.

Hope this helps.

Re: Installation Hangs

 Hello,
 I am trying to install FreeBSD.
 During the install (actually at the beginning of the process) the system
 hangs indefinitely.
 When it gets to the select country screen...it is frozen.
 During the boot process, as it is reading all the hardware, it finds the USB
 controller OK then later it states there was an IO error and that the USB
 controller is halted. I have a USB Keyboard and mouse...so I would say the
 problem is here.
 Is there any workaround I can use to get things going?
 
 Thanks,
 ton80

I currently have to attach my USB k/b and mouse via a USB hub, rather
than directly to the USB ports on this PC. I'm using a cheap no-name hub
here at the moment and it has done the job so far.

See if attaching via a hub improves things if you can.

 If what you wish to do is simply get rid of /usr in a string, you can use 
 sed like so:
 varWithoutUsr=`echo ${varWithUsr} |sed -e 's/\/usr//'`
 After running this, where $varWithUsr is the variable containing a string 
 like /usr/home/blah, the variable $varWithoutUsr will be equal to 
 /home/blah.  I create simple scripts like this all the time to rename 
 batches of files, for example.  
 The easier way is probably just to not specify a dir to scp's remote path 
 though, since it defaults to the user's home directory.  
 
 Or, in anything resembling Bourne shell:
 
 varWithoutUsr=${varWithUsr#/usr}


I'll be damrned!  It works--I've used the zsh for almost 20
years; it's a ksh clone++.  How, may I ask, does this work?
(I've seen ksh chopping from the RHS; I wrote a short C util to
axe any part of a string, but have never seen  *this* voodoo.
LOL++)

In any event, merci infiniement!

PS: this will save my rsync scripts too.


 
   Cheers,

 And I'll take a moment to recommend Matthew's method, since it does not
 involve fork()ing an additional process.
 
 When writing shell scripts in general, it's best if you can avoid
 spawning external processes for things which can be done easily
 (keyword: easily!) within Bourne natively.  There's no harm in doing it
 for more complex things, but fork() is somewhat expensive, and try to
 imagine what will happen to those scripts if the system lacks process
 table space, etc...  :-)  Best to try and make everything
 self-contained if possible.


right; esp'ly since i'll be running at least two scripts daily--
at a min.  besides, the simpler /bin/sh script is something i use
to save code or prose just in case the sky falls!

ah, no wonder this is the best list in the {known} universe
