What would make ntpd hang in BSD 8?
We have an application where the user can change the date/time via a GUI. One of the options the user has is to specify that the time is to be synced using ntp. Our coding worked fine under BSD 7 but since we've moved onto BSD 8 we've encountered a problem where the command that we initiate from the GUI: ntpd -g -q is hanging indefinitely. Logs we've captured do not give any clues. This is the log from a BSD 7 system: 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[3578]: logging to file /var/log/ntpd.log 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[3578]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Sun Feb 24 09:12:07 UTC 2008 (1) 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[3578]: precision = 1.676 usec 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[3578]: kernel time sync status 2040 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[3578]: frequency initialized -10.706 PPM from /var/db/ntpd.drift 17 Feb 06:35:45 ntpd[3578]: synchronized to 198.186.191.229, stratum=2 17 Feb 06:35:45 ntpd[3578]: time slew +0.003648 s and this is the log from a BSD 8 system: 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: logging to file /var/log/ntpd.log 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: precision = 1.676 usec 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #0 wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #1 wildcard, ::#123 Disabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #2 nic0, fe80::2a0:d1ff:fee3:53cc#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #3 nic1, fe80::2a0:d1ff:fee3:53cd#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #4 lo0, fe80::1#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #5 lo0, ::1#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #6 lo0, 127.0.0.1#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on interface #7 lagg0, 192.168.17.46#123 Enabled 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: Listening on routing socket on fd #29 for interface updates 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: kernel time sync status 2040 17 Feb 06:35:36 ntpd[2293]: frequency initialized -10.706 PPM from /var/db/ntpd.drift It never gets past this last log line and we have to do a kill -9 on the ntpd process.

Why I can't enable compositing option in KDE4?
I have the latest NVidia driver and the card is 9400GT. In Configure Window Behavior screen I first check Enable desktop effects. Then it says that Compositing is temporarily disabled. When I click Resume Compositing sometimes nothing happens at all. But sometimes after few clicks it says that it's now enabled. But after that when I open this screen again it says it is temporarily disabled again. No explanation is given. xorg.conf has this section: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable Option MIT-SHM Enable EndSection And Xorg.log acknowledges this: (**) Extension Composite is enabled (**) Extension MIT-SHM is enabled What's wrong? Compositing and effects used to work almost fine before. Except for the black windows problem.

Named errors after adding IPv4 alias - solved by restarting named
It seems that if you add an alias to an interface once named is up and running, it will cause named, on an hourly basis from the time named was first started (that is, if it was started at 07:32 after the hour, then every hour after the alias is added at about 07:32 after each hour), named will say: Feb 16 22:07:32 elwood named[626]: could not listen on UDP socket: permission denied Feb 16 22:07:32 elwood named[626]: creating IPv4 interface fxp0 failed; interface ignored A kill -1 does not help. If you do a full stop and start on named, that will take care of the problem. Is this something that should be addressed within named, or is this such a rare event (adding an IP alias on an interface that named is using) that it should just be let go? -- John Lind j...@starfire.mn.org ___ 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

FreeBSD to Cisco ASA 5505 VPN Connection
I have a small dilemma. The boss finally relented and is allowing me to work from home. This is a good deal for him too I just have to convince him. They have a Cisco ASA 5505 VPN router at the office. I have a wonderfully working LAN that uses a FreeBSD-7.2-STABLE server running NATD+IPFW. This in turn connects to a cable modem to my ISP and I couldn't be happier with it. All is well. Now my employer wants me to use a VPN server on my end to connect to his VPN. Okay cool I think Open VPN would do the trick. WRONG...Open VPN does not work with Cisco ASA 5505 routers. In fact, Open VPN doesn't work with alot of Cisco equipment. So much for trying to connect my router directly to their router. But I do have a small Cisco/Linksys RV042 VPN router which does talk to their Cisco router. So we tried hooking this up. First behind my router because I felt it would be safer there and I only need it for a VOIP phone they gave me. That's all this exercise was about was to allow the phone to work securely for their Asterisk system. I know there are other ways to do this but the techs don't want to mess with the Asterisk server because it will void the support contract and warranty. Through trial and error I finally got this small router to work but I had to put in on the outside of my FreeBSD router. No big deal really, seems to be safe as it has a firewall and the only thing connected to it besides my other FreeBSD router which is tight as a drum, is the VOIP phone which works quite well. The tech told me that I need to forward ports 500 and 4500 with my FreeBSD router to the small VPN router inside my LAN. That's simple enought but then he tells me I need to redirect all EPS and all AH traffic as well. I guess this is where FreeBSD+NATD+IPFW hits the wall when working with Cisco or is it? I gotta believe this can work but I don't know how the heck to do it and the tech at our IT consultant is totally lost when it comes to anything besides Cisco equipment. Has anyone got a suggestion on how to do a port redirect with natd to pickup these EPS and AH packets. I added some new lines to my /etc/natd.conf file and the AH part seemed ok but the console screen immediately said what the heck is EPS. And worse it did not work. Only when I put the VPN router outside of my existing router does this setup work. I really want to keep this thing inside my LAN or even better would be how do I get my existing router to work as a VPN on it's own? ___ 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

FreeBSD File Server with ZFS

It has recently become infected with some sort of virus. I'd like to replace it with FreeBSD running ZFS + Samba (I need to access it from a OS X machine and a Windows 7 box). 1) Will FreeBSD be able to detect and use my TB hard drive as ZFS disk? Right now it is only a single disk, but later on I'll and a second disk and setup a mirror. Even as a single disk, the checksumming ability would be nice. 2)Assume I get everything setup in regards to step 1 and my OS disk dies.

Then I added these rules to my ipfw rule set: ipfw add allow udp from any to any 500 ipfw add allow udp from any to any 4500 ipfw add allow udp from any to any 62515 ipfw add allow tcp from any to any 1 ipfw add allow tcp from any to any 1723 The VPN router makes the connection to the other Cisco router but the phone still does not work. I turned the firewall in my VPN router off but still no go. This only works when I place the VPN router upstream of my router so it's got to be something in my FreeBSD router which is not letting the traffic through. I've been checking my /var/log/security file but don't see anything being blocked that's related to this. ___ 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
Can't boot off the USB image
My computers (Dell SX280 PCs or Dell D600 laptop) seem to refuse to boot off the USB disk with non-Windows images written to it (I have also tried OpenSolaris images). I've tried using dd to write the .img files, or using unetbootin to write either .img or .iso images, or using UltraISO to write the iso files to my USB disk, but all the methods failed. But if the image was a Windows boot disk, it did work. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is it simply because the computers are old enough? Or do I have to do anything special for the FreeBSD images to make the computers boot off a USB device?

Maximum Number of USB Mass Storage Devices
I have a requirement to connect a large number of USB bus powered external hard disks to a FreeBSD 8.0 system. I am talking about hundreds of them. I am aware of the power and bus limitations and intend to use power hubs and multiple server USB ports to overcome this issue. My question is this: Does FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE have an operating system limitation on the number of USB storage devices I can connect and mount. Thanks.

Thank you very much! ___ When you say USB disk, you do mean an USB cabled external disk hard drive correct? That being the case, you have to download the FreeBSD disc1.iso file and burn it to a cdrom disk and then boot off that to start the sysinstall process to populate your USB cabled external disk hard drive with the FreeBSD operating system. Reading the FreeBSD manual on the install process or the Freebsd install guide should help you a lot. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ or http://www.a1poweruser.com Now if on the other hand you are really talking about a (USB memory stick, flash drive, key disk, stick disk, or pen) which all mean the same thing, then you should read this article Everything you want to know about Installing FreeBSD on a USB stick http://www.a1poweruser.com/30.00-USB_installing_article.php If none of this helps you then repost with an more detailed description of just what you did and what the result was. ___ 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

Postprocessing to file or piping the information is possible. Is there one standard for moving images [jpg, mov, avi]? Not that I know. Moving images, e. g. animated images, are often implemented using the GIF format. Video, often combined with audio, are encoded using a certain mechanism (e. g. MPEG) and then encapsulated into a container that takes care of video and audio synchonization. Or does this depend on the camera or associated hardware? Often cameras provide one arbitrary may of representing the information. My cheap Aiptek (AEG Snap) camera, for example, stored images in PNM format, while my Canon S3 IS already uses JPG for that. Other cameras I know use a certain bitmap format. It's the same with video: Some cameras produce AVI, oders MPEG. Those information can be obtained as strem (webcam functionality) or as a file (download from camera). There isn't much in ports; or it may be that I'm just not searching on the right keywords. The port mplayer / mencoder / gmencoder is your universal BSD army knife for most tasks. :-) Other interesting ports are gtkam and gphoto2, and of course there's a KDE tool which's name I can't remember, but it's something with K. It would be easier to find a good tool if you could be more specific on what exactly you're trying to achieve. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: how to read .ods (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) without KOffice?

Is there another program in the ports which could be used to view ods files or to convert them into pdf or PostScript? May sound like an adventure, but may be possible: Extract the compressed ods files (ZIP archive, if I remember correctly) and you have XML files (data files and style files); I am sure that there is a program that can interpret those data at least read-only and give you a readable output that you can forward to printer preprocessing (in order to have PS or PDF). As I've never really worked with Abiword, I can't tell you if it'll run on IA64 / sparc64 and if it will open the ods files... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: video and FreeBSD?
Hi, If I wanted to capture a video stream (say 30fps) in RAM and store it or write to a file and/or sent it to a website or on to another computer, what ports are avalable for this kind of live capture? I use mencoder for that. The input for video is a PCI video card (Haupauge something, using bktr driver), and audio is captured from a standard PCI sound card (cmi driver). Postprocessing to file or piping the information is possible. Same thing. For video surveillance I caputure video from a camera with: $ /usr/local/bin/mencoder tv:// -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:norm=NTSC:input=1 -nosound -o 2010-02-10.20-41-18.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=400 -really-quiet Stop the acquisition wil a kill -TERM. The file output is: $ file 2010-02-10.20-41-18.avi 2010-02-10.20-41-18.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, ~30 fps, video: FFMpeg MPEG-4 Best regards, Olivier ___ 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
