Opencrypto patch/driver code upload
Hi All, I've a patch to opencrypto and I have a crypto driver that I would like to present for inclusion with the freebsd 7 release. Could you give me some pointers on getting that done? The opencrypto patch is relavent for FreeBSD 8 and 9 also... Some questions for the driver release: Does it necessarily have to compile if the harware API is not present? Our API is release with the dev board... Is it still possible to have new code added to FreeBSD 7, or is that now only accepting bug fixes? Any help/URLs etc is greatly appreciated.

ssh-agent and ordering of keys
Hi all, I've a bit of an annoying problem that hopefully someone here has delt with before. I have a large(ish) number of ssh keys as i like to keep things nicely seperated, I also use longish passphrases. To deal with long pass phrases I have started to use ssh-agent, which is working nicely but since i have a large number of keys and ssh-agent doesnt let you specify a particular key for a particular machine (I was using host and IdentiyFile lines in ~/.ssh/config before) I'm starting to hit a problem where I'm unable to log in to a machine as I'm hitting the MaxAuthTries value in sshd_config. I know i could just bung the MaxAuthTries value up to 20 or so on all my servers but I dont really want to, I'd rather a way of specifying which ssh key ssh-agent uses for a specific host, (like i said it ignores the IdentiyFile lines in the config file and ignores the -i switch to ssh itself.)

advice on setting up new site
Hi guys, I appreciate the help you have given me in the past and present... I am not competent to handle the project we are emarking on, so let me ask (offer ?) it here: We're about to start new enterprise in the food service sector (I hate the terms industry for anything related to food) which is a totally new concept - can't reveal at the moment. And we are going to need someone to implement the site. So here's what I need to find out: 1. We're looking for someone who would be interested in working on it and could handle all aspects on FreeBSD (I want to avoid MS and especially anything not open source - requires programming of whatever works best -- important: database (probably mysql - seems to be most popular and our host uses it); will need flash or lots of images eventually instructional videos (flash ? or ?) will need gps tracking of equipment (vehicles); inventory tracking on daily/weekly basis; invoicing; AR/AP and CC management. There's no reason why the work can't be done over the Internet... I've done this before... Let me know if you're interested and we can discuss methods of working and payment... etc. 2. I would appreciate some suggestions about Unix programs that could be applicable to meet our needs.

On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 01:22:58PM -0600, Jesús Abidan wrote: ok. the slices in freebsd are little tricky, i will check my installation and send some feedback later. ?? FreeBSD slices are pretty straight forward. They are just the name of the 4 primary divisions of a disk - limited to 4 by BIOS. MS just calls them primary partitions instead of slices. The major difference is how they might be subdivided. MS does what it calls logical partitions. FreeBSD subdivisions are just called partitions. The fdisk(8) utility creates slices (or primary partitions in MS, though the FreeBSD fdisk is not very conversant with some of the new MS types so you may be better off using something else to create primary partitions/slices if other OSen are being accomodated). Slices (or primary partitions) are identified by numbers 1..4. The bsdlabel(8) utility in FreeBSD is what subdivides a slice in to partitions. It used to be that it was limited to 7 real partitions identified with letters a..h with the letter 'c' reserved to describe the whole slice and not usable as a real partition. Partition 'a' is normally root mounted as '/' and partition 'b' is used as swap. These two (a b) are conventions and not enforced, except that some software may make these assumptions.My understanding is that the newest versions of FreeBSD (8.0) modify or remove the limit and you can have letters above 'h' and thus more subdivisions in a slice, but I haven't tried that yet. In FreeBSD, to create a filesystem from a partition, you run newfs(8) on it. jerry Thanks a lot. 2009/11/11 Jerry McAllister jerr...@msu.edu On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 12:27:13PM -0600, Jesús Abidan wrote: i pressed f2 for freebsd and nothing happens... i pressed f1 for windows.

But no NATD would definitely be a problem. I am assuming we are talking about IPFW and NATD here, and it has been many years since I've used it. I migrated to IPFILTER and then on to PF quite some time ago. Most logging related to IPFW is already present, but IIRC to log NATD you need to turn it on, and possibly configure it in syslog.conf should you desire the output somewhere other than /var/log/alias.log. Keep in mind there are two ways to pass options. You can use something like natd_flags=-l in /etc/rc.conf. Man natd will provide a list. The second method is to place the options in a file such as natd.conf and pull them in like natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf. I looked in my notes and here is a snippet from an old /etc/rc.conf: natd_enable=YES natd_interface=ppp0 natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf My /etc/natd.conf: interface ppp0 use_sockets yes same_ports yes dynamic yes You could add a 'log yes' line here; it does the same as the -l described above. Note that you might need the 'dynamic yes' switch for an interface that changes. In my case I was using it for a ppp dial-up connection, change interface as needed. Sounds like you are narrowing down the culprit(s). Also note that it could possibly be a timing issue related to the order things start up. If the NATD is attempting to start before the interface has come up it will die. Shouldn't happen, but...

Re: 7.2-STABLE X mouse keyboard issues
This can be the notorious HAL. If you dont need it for another reason you may compile x11-server again, but switch the hal-support off. Should work well then..

I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet. Do I need to do so? If so, what;s the best way? This may be the same problem I ran into 2 weeks ago. The latest builds of X have changed a few defaults. Notably, the man page for xorg.conf now suggests this. Option AllowEmptyInput boolean If enabled, don't add the standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no input devices in the config file. Enabled by default if AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices is enabled, oth- erwise disabled. If AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored. So by default, it now doesn't add input devices. I found that building a vestigal xorg.conf so I could change that back to no got me my input devices back. You may also want to change the DontZap option to get back the Ctrl-Alt-BS key sequence to exit the X server.

zfs raidz2 marked as UNAVAIL even though only one vdev is missing?
Hello, This morning I found that one of my disks was going bad, so I thought I would replace it (using zpool replace) with a new disk. This worked fine, and it was about 1/3 of the way through. Then, as I was moving things around, I accidentally jostled some of the cables. This of course made the system extremely unhappy and eventually resulted in a kernel panic. Then when I tried to bring the system back up, it reported the pool as FAULTED due to missing devices. Figuring that it just needed to re-discover the devices and considering that every zpool / zfs command was unavailable, I decided to export and re-import the pool. However, now the pool is not importable! The status shows (typed since no SSH access): pool: universe id: (uuid) state: UNAVAIL action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data config: universe UNAVAIL insufficient replicas raidz2 UNAVAIL corrupted data replacing DEGRADED (uuid) UNAVAIL cannot open ad16 ONLINE ad10 ONLINE ad8 ONLINE ... five more drives, all ONLINE To my eye, there should be no reason it can't import. The drives are all marked ONLINE except for the one I know failed. I can't zpool status -v to see *what* is corrupted because I can't import. So here I am, stuck, unable to import. Any suggestions as to how I can recover from this situation? Any way to tell what is corrupted so I can maybe intentionally fail that disk and allow a scrub to recreate it?

Install Vista, install FreeBSD in another slice/primary partition but leave the MBR alone, then install and use EasyBCD from Vista to set booting options.

The reason for this is given at the top of the page: although the kernel is accessed using int 80h, it is assumed the program will call a function that issues int 80h, rather than issuing int 80h directly. So the extra dword pushed onto the stack takes the place of the return address from the function the kernel expects to have been called. And since you're not actually using as a return address, it doesn't matter what value it actually has. The kernel doesn't use it for anything; it just expects it to be there in a properly arranged stack frame. ___ 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: atom based servers
-Original Message- From: Brian Whalen Sent: Thu 12/11/2009 9:26 AM I see supermicro and potentially others have atom servers available, anyone tried these on freebsd with success? Brian Hi Brian Indeed, I have a FreeBSD 8.0RC1 system running as my primary time server for the home network. Since it's an Atom 330, it fully supports 64-bit mode (an opportunity I have grasped with both hands). The board I happen to be using is an Intel DG945GCLF2 - a clone board with just 1 DIMM slot and two SATA ports. Everything I need to have supported Just Worked out of the box. The server itself is running at a very low load level: timeserver ~ 15 uptime 1:00PM up 6 days, 12:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I can provide the output of most any other commands if you'd like to see anything specific. I rather suspect that the Supermicro and other server-class Atoms will still be using the Intel 945 or similar chipsets.
