Help with dmesg
I just finished installing clamav with clamav-milter and everything seems to be loading fine via rc.conf. But I get this message at bootup and I have no idea what gives: 554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 48: unknown configuration line Jan 7 23:32:32 bsd sm-mta[1307]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 48: unknown configuration line \n As stated earlier clamav is loading fine, and freshclam is updating the database at startup.

Re: Do UDP broadcasts work in FreeBSD?

We want to send a limited broadcast to 255.255.255.255 but the message never arrives. The same code works fine under Linux. Is there a trick for doing this kind of thing under FreeBSD? Did you enable SO_BROADCAST and IP_ONESBCAST on the socket? I remember needing this on FreeBSD but not on Linux. I know UDP broadcasting works fine, but is somewhat more involved: addr.sin_family = AF_INET; addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(130.89.191.255); addr.sin_port = htons(UDP_PORT_ET); optval = 1; if(setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, optval, sizeof optval) == -1) err(1, setsockopt); optval = 1; if(setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ONESBCAST, optval, sizeof optval) == -1) err(1, setsockopt); const char data[] = report; if(sendto(sock, data, sizeof data, 0, (struct sockaddr*)addr, addrlen) == -1) warn(sendto); This code will send a packet with destination address 255.255.255.255, on the interface with broadcast address 130.89.191.255. netintro(4) talks about how to discover these addresses.

Re: DHCP and Bridge mode
Hi, I am trying to get two machines on the LAN share the same IP address assigned by DHCP server by using the bridge interface in rc.conf. But I have encountered two problems here. I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but in general: you cannot have two machine us ethe same IP address, it just does not work; whether you use bridge or not. The A machine, however, seems to have DNS problems as it cannot resolve any addresses. Try to work out your problems using IP address first and something simple like ping. Use tcpdump, you will most certainly see all packets going to machine B instead of machine A.

Re: DHCP and Bridge mode
What you are doing wont work as every machine has to have an individual ip address unless your talking multicast If you are trying to provide some fault tolerance eg two routers you should look at using carp. This will aloow you to have a floating ip between two or more machines. Only one machine has it at any one time though. rg wrote: Hello, I am trying to get two machines on the LAN share the same IP address assigned by DHCP server by using the bridge interface in rc.conf.

The A machine, however, seems to have DNS problems as it cannot resolve any addresses. And the second problem I've faced is that I cannot figure out how to use SSH to connect to the A machine from the B machine if they both share the same IP address.

However, I get:

=== gcc-4.3.3_20090101 does not run on alpha ia64, while you are running
alpha.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc43.

So it seems make ignores NOT_FOR_ARCHS= setting.
When I add this to the gcc43/Makefile directly, build
goes ahead.
What's the problem?

Re: FreeBSD 7.1, nvidia-driver, GeForce 8500 GT
How much memory do you have? Freebsd/Nvidia doesn't work with 4Gigs of memory OR PAE enabled kernels. Nvidia's forums have lots more information regarding this. I'm not sure of the internals exactly, but the amount of onboard memory plus the memory that comes with the card can't exceed 4G. (I could be wrong, but I think this is accurate). In this case, assuming you have a 512M card or similar then 3 Gigs of memory should work. I have seen reports of 2Gigs of memory working (i386) and am sure that works without problems. amd64 doesn't work at all, as you have already stated. If you have a requirement to use the nvidia based graphics driver, then you really don't have an alternative at this time, then to remove system memory from your main board. ~Paul Putting hw.physmem=3G in /boot/loader.conf might also work. -- Pieter de Goeje ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If one places a 'laptop' in their lap, it overheats, possibly burning the legs of the operator with prolonged use. I want a laptop, not a laptop attached to a desk or a board with fans in it, or the need to hunt down a desk so I can set my laptop on the desktop, effectively creating a desktop. I want to be able to set the laptop on top of my lap. (Hard to imagine.) The last laptop I had was a gateway, which when held by the corner would creak and sag and overheated constantly. The Toshiba was sturdier, but had equally atrocious ventilation and overheating problems. I was originally thinking about a thinkpad, like a T20 or T30, but word on the street is that thinkpads overheat too?

In principle, you just start a kind of minimal live file system, use its commands (like fdisk, bsdlabel, newfs, then tar etc.) to install the system from the CD or DVD (or the Internet). Neccessary changes to files (like /etc/rc.conf) would have to be done manually (read: you would have to write it by yourself). Not that it wasn't impossible. If I remember correctly, the last time I tried OpenBSD it had a guided installer similar to this. No ncurses based dialog driven installer. I don't know how fast the sysinstall utility will disappear, but I would miss it. Personally, a next, next, next, next, next, next GUI based installer wouldn't be applealing to me, requiring me to be present during the installation, hah! :-) After a while, you can be really fast with sysinstall, and especially in the early stage of installation its very helpful. I don't use it to install software afterwards. In any case, it would be great to have the choice to still use sysinstall if the new installer is worse. But hey, this is FreeBSD, and up to this point, I haven't seen anything that would be crap from the OS team.

But that probably something that I'm missing. Regards -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi In the curses-based sysinstall of later versions of FBSD (7+, I think - haven't done 6 in a while) I do indeed select postfix to install, or no MTA at all, then add postfix later.

RE: Do UDP broadcasts work in FreeBSD?
Did you enable SO_BROADCAST and IP_ONESBCAST on the socket? I remember needing this on FreeBSD but not on Linux. Yes we did, but... I know UDP broadcasting works fine, but is somewhat more involved: addr.sin_family = AF_INET; addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(130.89.191.255); addr.sin_port = htons(UDP_PORT_ET); You are using a subnet broadcast here. We are dealing with systems that do not have IPs assigned, and as a result we have to send our broadcasts to 255.255.255.255. This works fine on other operating systems but for some reason the implementation is different on FreeBSD. It appears that the only way this kind of broadcast can be sent on FreeBSD is using raw sockets. This is how the FreeBSD DHCP client/server is written, so we're taking that approach as well... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I understand that you are getting me to wipe the disk first. I now understand pretty much everything you have written and the procedure involved. That would be a new high point for me then. I have often been told the opposite. Since I do have the 'newer' drive currently installed at home, I would like to do to 'new' disk setup here first, that way, I can take to machine down for as short a time as is possible. You can do that, though building the drive is the least of the time consumers and hardly noticable compared to dumping/restore 20GB. I am quite nervous using the disklabel command(s) as I know nothing about the 'geometry' numbers and how to calculate them. You don't have to know anything about geometry except maybe the small item that blocks are 512 bytes in size. You should also remember that inside of the computer 1K = 1024 BYTEs, 1M = (1024 X 1924) BYTES and 1GB = (1024 X 1924 X 1924) Bytes which is different from how manufacturers account them. (They use 1,000 BYTEs for 1K, 1,000,000 BYTEs for 1M, etc) Otherwise, it is just total number of blocks per partition up to the total size of the slice. Knowing about geomtry implies knowing about block, track and cylinder sizes, placement of MBRs, boot sectors and even about reserves for remapping, etc. You don't care about any of this except block size. Considering your method, and Matthews method, let me run this by you... I think Matthew posted his method just as an alternative because you had questions, not because he means it as a preferred method. I think mine, in total, is more straightforward. At home: 1. Boot a machine (this one at home) with freebsd 6.4 installable disk (made from an ISO image), 2. Run sysinstall, Skip using sysinstall here. Just use the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs the same as I posted. If it is the same FreeBSD version as the one your are replacing, then you can hook the disk up in the second SCSI slot and just become root and run things the same way as from the fixit, (but do it to device da1 instead of da0). If the versions are dissimilar, or, if you can't put the drive in the second SCSI slot, then use the fixit system, just like I already posted. 3. Use fdisk and disklabel to setup the slice/partitions, paying special attention in disklabel to make the disk bootable, If you use the commands I gave for fixit, this will all take place just as you want it, including making it FreeBSD bootable. At the network center: 4. Move the current *suspect* drive to da1, and install the new drive as da0, 5. Boot the machine using the fixit shell, and mount the new partitions and the old partitions as Jerry explained below, 6. Do the dump/restore as Jerry mentions below. 7. Remove the da1, reboot and hopefully, rejoyce. This part is the same. You don't need to remove da1 at this time, but you can, as you wish. Comments please.

However, I was able to boot in single user mode and temporarily move the rc.conf file so that I cound boot in the default mode. With 7.1, I don't appear to have that option.

Of That spare copy doesn't help at all; /etc/passwd is only there as a convenience to users, and isn't consulted by the system for anything. course I had to test it now so I exitted from root back to my own account, and you guessed it: I can't su anymore: $ su - su: who are you? I started up a second session and found my own account doesn't work anymore either. So all I have now is an open session with my own account. I should probably also have copied the two db files back and of course I should have left my running root session open and started another one. Not a very bright moment.. Does the root account itself have a password? If you installed a generic password file, it may be unprotected, and you could log in (but not su, as that requires you first be logged in as a wheel user, of which you may have none left) as root without a password if you have a local terminal (a serial console, for example), and fix things from there. Is there a way I can recover the server from this ? Of course I can put in a cd and change some passwords, but the server is in a datacenter and I don't really have the time to go there and fix it. I'm looking for a remote solution. I guess you don't have any out-of-band access to the machine, then. You may be stuck with having to go to it physically, then. It's probably not much help but there's one jail running on it that's still working fine. I can login and su on that one, but I don't know if I can use it to repair the main system. I sure hope that won't help. That would defeat the point of jails, wouldn't it? ;-) -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I hope this is the appropriate list to send this question to. I just installed 7.1-RELEASE on my HP pavilion and attempted to configure my Broadcom wlan card (BCM94309 version 4.10.40.0) using ndisgen. I cp'd the bcmwl5_sys.ko to /boot/kernel and added *bcmwl5_sys_load=YES* to my /boot/loader.conf. Now the machine will not boot. It crashes when it reaches the ndis0 line. I've tried booting in all the modes but they all fail to boot. I can escape to prompt, but am unsure what, if anything, I can do in that mode to deal with the situation. With other releases (6.4 and 7.0) the machine would panick when I attempted to ifconfig ndis0. However, I was able to boot in single user mode and temporarily move the rc.conf file so that I cound boot in the default mode. With 7.1, I don't appear to have that option. Is there anything I can do, short of a fresh install, to eliminate this problem? I'm not too worried about getting the wifi up (although, I won't turn down any advice). I just want the machine to boot. I discovered a wierd hack to resolve this. Remove the line(s) from loader.conf, and create an /etc/rc.local file containing the following: /sbin/kldload /boot/modules/bcmwl5_sys.ko That should survive a reboot. Glen, I tried your suggestion (which I appreciate) and it did survive rebooting. However, bcmwl5_sys.ko was not loaded because there was no ndis interface. So, I change the rc.local to /sbin/kldload /boot/kernel/bcmwl5_sys.ko Upon reboot, the system panicked when it loaded the rc.local file. I don't know . . . Any additional modules should be placed in /boot/modules, not /boot/kernel. What happens if you manually load the module after the system is running? After rethinking my last statement, with the module in /boot/kernel *and* an entry in loader.conf you are loading the module twice. Move the module to /boot/modules where it should be. -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Restore deleted files
Hi, I'd like to ask a two-stage question: 1. Is it possible to recover files that have been deleted? 2. Which tools or procedures are suggested for recovery? While sorting out some files and transfering them to another hard disk, I accidentally deleted too much: the directory with my videos taken by a digital camera. They were located in a directory within a subtree, and I deleted the whole subtree without first copying these files. I used the Midnight Commander to do this. As I read from its source code, it seems to use the unlink() call to delete the subtree recursively. Pressing PF8 can really ruin your day... Just after I noticed what I had done I unmounted the file system, powered off the machine and put the disk on the shelf (it's still there), no further write accesses. I would be glad if someone could enlighten me if there is any chance to get the files back, even with the loss of the file names (doesn't matter), and which tools seem to serve best in this difficult task. And if it's impossible, please tell me. I can newfs the disk then and free it, along with my mind. PS. I'm posting this question to -fs, too.

The preferred method is to recover files from backup. If you don't take backups, you've decided that you don't really care about the data. This being said, you might take a look at something like: % cat /usr/ports/sysutils/sleuthkit/pkg-descr The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of UNIX- based command line file system and media management forensic analysis tools. The file system tools allow you to examine file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive fashion. The media management tools allow you to examine the layout of disks and other media. The Sleuth Kit supports DOS partitions, BSD partitions (disk labels), Mac partitions, Sun slices (Volume Table of Contents), and GPT disks. With these tools, you can identify where partitions are located and extract them so that they can be analyzed with file system analysis tools.

Do you have unusual options like FEATURE(always_add_domain ...) set up? I haven't made any changes to the sendmail configuration. It's straight out of the CD vanila 6.3 Standard install. I'm completetly stumped. If I build with 6.1, I don't have any issue. If I build with 6.4, same problem. I might try rebuilding as 'matdav.datacom.com'. Perhaps it's some bug specific to the '.nz' TLD, but that seems unlikely.

FreeBSD Boot Manager
Hi all, I was bored earlier tonight and I decided to tinker a bit with FreeBSD 6.4 on my Windows XP SP3 box. In that machine, there is one SATA drive. On that drive, there was about 100 GB of free space, so I decided to try putting FreeBSD 6.4 on it. During the install, I opted to use the Free BSD boot manage. The install went flawlessly. The problem is, when I boot up I get: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 F2, is obviously, the new installation of FreeBSD 6.4, which boots perfectly. F5 is a spare SCSI disk connected to an Initio controller. F1 is the probelem. Windose no longer boots. When I select F2, I simply get the cursor on a new line, and nothing happens. Like this: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 _ Any idea what I might need to do to make windows work again? It may be worth mentioning, I had Norton GoBack running on the disk before I installed FreeBSD, although I am not aware if it does anything to the booting system. All suggestions welcome, -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If one wishes to use a license from another product that is outside of the BSD license scope, then follow it properly. FreeBSD ( personnel) does a magnificent job of keeping outside-licensed code and objects separate from itself, and I'd rather jump through burning hoops of flame to 'add on' to the system to mend it to my needs, as opposed to having the system, and possibly its users, face legal ramifications later... If you need outside software that requires reading any sort of an 'Agreement', then follow the 'Agreement' until you get rights to use the software. FreeBSD isn't about 'easy'. It's about 'right'. Installation methods print out information about external licenses for a reason. Ask those external places how to get around their sign-ups...don't ask here. For that matter, don't answer such questions here, either.

newbie: does irq setting in device.hints work?
Hello. I come across device.hints manual which says I can set irq for each device there. I am using 6.1. The settings I made in devices.hints never worked. e.g. hint.uhci.0.at=pci hint.uhci.0.irq=12 I can set whatever value for irq and it always rebooted as irq 11. However 'disabled=1' works. That's strange, I didn't find manual where it say it work in some condition or for some device only. Is there a way to assign uhci to use an irq differently? seems it is the cause of an interrupt storm problem I am having. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

RE: Sun sucks
Steve, we have ports for a reason. So that it's EASY to compile and deploy apps on FreeBSD. If we need to fireup a web browser register on a website wait three months for approval then go to 3 separate sites to MANUALLY download the software and transfer it to FreeBSD, what's the bloody point? Abiding by the software license I agree with, clearly there is no room there. But why is this process so utterly retarded for something as critical and common as Java? -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Steve Bertrand Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 11:16 PM To: RW Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Sun sucks RW wrote: On Thu, 8 Jan 2009 17:10:10 -0500 Ansar Mohammed ans...@gmail.com wrote: After registering Sun complains that they don't like my ID and I need to provide more information. I create another account. Same problem. After 3 months I finally get an email saying they want clarification on the acronym for my company. Well there's your problem. You gave them too much information in the first place. I usually just make-up a name as a matter of principle. Just create a new account for some made-up name, don't specify any company, download your file, and then (if you really care) go through the hoops afterwards. Improper subject, wrong attitude. If one wishes to use a license from another product that is outside of the BSD license scope, then follow it properly. FreeBSD ( personnel) does a magnificent job of keeping outside-licensed code and objects separate from itself, and I'd rather jump through burning hoops of flame to 'add on' to the system to mend it to my needs, as opposed to having the system, and possibly its users, face legal ramifications later... If you need outside software that requires reading any sort of an 'Agreement', then follow the 'Agreement' until you get rights to use the software. FreeBSD isn't about 'easy'. It's about 'right'. Installation methods print out information about external licenses for a reason. Ask those external places how to get around their sign-ups...don't ask here. For that matter, don't answer such questions here, either.

programs...
Guys, I've going to give away what I think could be at least a multi-thousand dollar idea, something we nearly have already. And a wish-list for a program that does not, AFAIK, exist. First, the wish-for:: given all the kinds of video and audio programs that are now on the web, how difficult would it be to have a GUI [interface] program pop up a screen with date of airing, and/or date of podcast? Not to exceed several hours worth of recorded podcasts... or live recording. I can only give examples of thing I watch, but this will give you some idea. And bear in mind that at least FreeBSD cannot capture some programs. Like FRONTLINE on PBS. But for the sake of argument, let's say that firefox or whatever browser or kmplayer or another player did have the proper codecs. This GUI app would find, fetch, and store in /usr/local/tmp FRONTLINE, NOVA, In Our Time and Everyday Ethics [BBC], and Marketplace, Weekend, 10jan09. When these programs were safely in /usr/local/tmp/Pods, the program would send mail or otherwise inform the user. How doable is this...? and, yes, i know that many of these audio files can be subscribed to as podcasts. I have several on my Google page. gary PS: oTher, larger idea next, separate post. -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org First update of http://transfinite.thought.org/ab/ in seven months. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Unfortunately, putting the line hw.physmem=3G in /boot/loader.conf as you suggested does not prevent the system from crashing when starting X (even using 2G), while taking physically out the 2G memory bank from the motherboard does. That's a pity because this being a dual boot system, I could have left the 4 GB of RAM in when using the other OS Is there any other option that you would be aware of? thanks again giuseppe On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 1:44 PM, Pieter de Goeje pie...@degoeje.nl wrote: How much memory do you have? Freebsd/Nvidia doesn't work with 4Gigs of memory OR PAE enabled kernels. Nvidia's forums have lots more information regarding this. I'm not sure of the internals exactly, but the amount of onboard memory plus the memory that comes with the card can't exceed 4G. (I could be wrong, but I think this is accurate). In this case, assuming you have a 512M card or similar then 3 Gigs of memory should work. I have seen reports of 2Gigs of memory working (i386) and am sure that works without problems. amd64 doesn't work at all, as you have already stated. If you have a requirement to use the nvidia based graphics driver, then you really don't have an alternative at this time, then to remove system memory from your main board. ~Paul Putting hw.physmem=3G in /boot/loader.conf might also work. -- Pieter de Goeje -- Giuseppe Pagnoni Dip.
