There is a very long delay between dd's report and the program end (delay on close?) And sometimes the eject command after the dd locks up and eventually fails. There are plenty of console messages, including READ_BIG retrying, READ_BIG timed out, TEST_UNIT_READY freeing zombie taskqueue request, and PREVENT_ALLOW taskqueue timeout - compiing request directly .

Instead of using dd (have you made sure to use the correct block size?) try using readcd (comes with cdrecord); see man cdrecord for details and examples. This is definitely NOT reliable enough to put into a script (which would make handling the many file names more reliable).

This condition is still present in CUPS 1.4.3 according to the Makefile at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/cups-base/ I need Kerberos support in order to use CUPS to print to a network printer here. As a workaround, I was able to use a co-workers MacOS X system which was running CUPS to print to the same printer. This Mac was upgraded to MacOS 10.6.4 today, and this workaround failed. :-( So I am back to trying to use CUPS on FreeBSD to talk directly to the network printer, but without the Kerberos feature, I am locked out. Upgrading to CUPS 1.4.3 is unlikely to give me Kerberos support. It seems FreeBSD has Kerberos support in base at /usr/src/kerberos5. But I don't see how to bridge this gap. FWIW, using CUPS 1.3.10 in the Fall of 2009, I did have Kerberos support (via GSSAPI) and I was able to talk directly to the network printer. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to consider trying? The best suggestion would be to ask MAINTAINER of the port, why he disabled Kerberos support, and maybe better mail him a patch with Kerberos support enabled in the port :).

Problem installing Backula-bat
Hello
First let me say that i am new to FreeBSD and Bacula, so my question might
be a bit trivial. Newertheless, I am having big problems installing Bacula
BAT on my FreeBSD server. Let me explain what i have done so far:
1. Installed FreeBSD 8.0 rel
2. From the ports catalogue i have installed Xorg
3. Then I installed Bacula 3.0.2 rel (with MySQL), altso from the ports
catalogue.
I then tried to install Backula-bat, but here i ran into trouble. First the
installation starts as it should and then goes on for quite a while. Then
suddenly it stops whith the following message:

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-bat.
I googled the error code and got a suggestion to remove the following line
in the makefile: ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/src/qt-console/.libs/bat
${PREFIX}/sbin and then run the installation again.
This makes the installation finish, but when i go into the Xorg window and
types bat (is this the correct way to start BAT by the way), I get the
message that the command is not found. I am now thinking that the
installation did not succeed and that I have to do somthing else to fix the
problem.
Eny suggestions? Would be very greatful if I could get this fixed somehow..
Best regards
Cato

Note however that the compat7x stuff is merely a measure to give yourself a breathing space between upgrading the OS and rebuilding all your ports. excellent. i wasn't aware of the port. would the order to do things be: update ports with portsnap, install misc/compat7x, upgrade with freebsd-update and reboot? You really do have to reinstall all the ports on a major version upgrade: while installed ports will still run if you don't touch them, as soon as you start updating anything, or installing anything new, it will start to go horribly poo unless you haved reinstalled everything. yes. i plan to upgrade all the apps to the current ports shortly after the base upgrade. I note that the software you're running is all a few versions behind what's current, and some of those updates involve pretty significant changes (eg. php 5.2 to 5.3; changes to the way apache ports work; i've already ported the code for 5.3.

Entirely my point. (According to wikipedia Theora is a fork of VP3 which the developer On2 released some time ago. VP6 made into macromedia flash codec. So On2's codecs have a long history of video on the web.) That would seem to be supported by the Theora website[0]. won't support it. But that's all irregardless to the OPs question of bugginess on FreeBSD. If the Linux emulation isn't enough and there is no option but to switch to an entirely different platform, why even provide such an option?

Re: Burning CDs on FreeBSD 7.2

I am using the correct block size, and the data retrieved cmp's correctly against the iso fs image used to create the disk. dd was means for exactly such purposes, and if it can't work, the OS is doing a bad job.

Optimal RAID10 config on PERC6 (cache question)
Hi everyone, I got 2 brand new Dell R510 with 4x146 SAS 10K RPM connected to the PERC6 RAID adapter in a RAID10 configuration. Those servers are mostly going to be used for a master/master MySQL replication. Both are running 8.0-REL amd64. When I took a look at the 'mfiutil' command to make a script to detect RAID failure I saw that the cache were disabled on the volume: (those are all Dell's default) db1# mfiutil show volumes mfi0 Volumes: Id SizeLevel Stripe State Cache Name mfid0 ( 272G) RAID-10 64K OPTIMAL Disabled db1# mfiutil cache mfid0 mfi0 volume mfid0 cache settings: I/O caching: disabled write caching: write-back read ahead: none drive write cache: default I read in the man page of mfiutil that drive write cache is the cache on the physical drive which should be disable for data integrity. My first question is: Is the 'default' to disable the physical drive cache or should I modify it explicitly to disable? I configured 'innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT' in my.cnf to maximize performance, but I read that this option should only be used with a battery backed up RAID card. My PERC6 got a battery but I'm wondering if the current setting for my cache are using it correctly? Can someone explain me the differences between the cache types? My main concern is data integrity in case of hardware or power failures. What would be the optimal configuration in that case.

Hardware monitoring with iDRAC6
Hi again everyone, I just realized after posting my question on optimal RAID config that the best solution for hardware monitoring would be to use the integrated iDRAC6. I have the Express version (no dedicated port). I have never worked with DRAC cards and I would like to know your opinions about the best way to use it for hardware monitoring. I'm not really planning on using the remote control features, but it would be nice too. As I understand it, I have to configure an additional IP for iDRAC. In my case, the servers are going to be installed in a colocation datacenter so I guess I have to reserve an additional public IP for each servers so I can access the iDRAC remotely? What are the securiy implications? I'm also configuring a Nagios installation for monitoring. Is there a way to plug iDRAC with Nagios to handle the notifications (snmp maybe)? Or should I configure an email alert in the iDRAC config (I assume there is a way to do that)?

I'm not really planning on using the remote control features, but it would be nice too. In addition to using DRAC notifications for hardware events, I would suggest that you still run some local checks on the system itself (Nagios checks via NRPE). There are several checks available that check the status of the PERC controller and drives using mfiutil, amrstat, or MegaCLI. As I understand it, I have to configure an additional IP for iDRAC. In my case, the servers are going to be installed in a colocation datacenter so I guess I have to reserve an additional public IP for each servers so I can access the iDRAC remotely? What are the securiy implications? This depends on what your options are - if you're colocating one server, they may be pretty slim. In any case, I would strongly advise not putting it out there on an unrestricted public address. I'm not sure of the DRAC's history of security issues, but keep in mind that someone using it essentially has physical access to your server. If you have to put it out there on the internet, be sure to create a new user on the iDRAC and disable the existing root account. I'm also configuring a Nagios installation for monitoring. Is there a way to plug iDRAC with Nagios to handle the notifications (snmp maybe)? Or should I configure an email alert in the iDRAC config (I assume there is a way to do that)? You can configure the iDRAC to send SNMP traps, or even e-mails for hardware events. ___ 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
mountroot error with memory based rootfs
Hi, I was trying to build root filesystem in to the kernel (i.e using /dev/md0) for Mips based target boards. In the process i built tool chain and kernel successfully. But when i boot the kernel on the target, it fails to mount the md0 and drops to mountroot prompt. mountroot ufs:/dev/md0 ROOT MOUNT ERROR If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from the loader prompt: set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw and the remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab. Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom= vfs.root.mountform.options= I could see that both the above variables are unset and not sure whether this is by default. As i am building a cross kernel, i can't add these options to /boot/loader.conf files which applies to current host machine. Please help me where the above settings need to be added i.e which directory and file for the settings to effect for my target kernel build.

Re: Ownership of /var/named Changes on Reboot.
Matthew Seaman writes: Furthermore, the default setup *is* for named to run as an unprivileged process. The setup is very carefully designed so that named doesn't have write permission on the directory where its configuration files are stored, or on directories that contain static zone files, but it does have write permission on directories it uses for zone files AXFR'd from a master, or zone files maintained using dynamic DNS. This used to generate a warning from bind about not having a writable current working directory -- which was basically harmless and could be ignored. However recent changes mean bind needs a writable working directory, so the latest layouts include /var/named/etc/namedb/working That turned out to be the issue. I reset the permissions to match the way they are when one first installs bind. Root owns /var/named but bind owns directories that should be writable so the trick is to set one's named.conf file to reference writable directories for all the zones, logs and named.pid. It is now starting automatically on reboot just like it should. While bind owns all the writable subdirectories, they all still have wheel as their GID. That appears to be okay since they are all only writable by owner. Thanks for explaining this annoying little mystery that has dogged me at a minor level for years. I have been running bind for Oklahoma State University for close to 18 years and one tends to stick with configurations that work. It is just time to modernize and at least configure bind in the recommended way so as to take full advantage of the clever design. It does still give the message that the working directory is not writable.

Rename the pdf files so that their names encode the data you want. Then find(1) will do most of what you want. If the pdf files contain text instead of scanned images, you could probably do the renaming automatically with the help of pdftotext(1) from the 'poppler-utils' port and your favorite scripting language.

Re: PDF storage software recommendations?
I'm certain that we have something in ports that will do this, but danged if I can find a good candidate. While I'm sure I could build a database/PHP app that would work, surely someone's already done this? Any recommendations? I'm experimenting with OpenDocMan (PHP/MySQL, http://www.opendocman.com/) for storing ad hoc documents associated with part numbers in a WebERP system (http://www.weberp.org). system. OpenDocMan has been around for a while and didn't see a lot of activity after release, but seems to be pretty active again. We added a menu item in the WebERP ItemMaster page for a user to submit an associated document, which is just a link to the submit document page in OpenDocMan (also added a Search for Associated Documents menu item which is a link to a search in OpenDocMan for documents associated with that part number). If there are multiple documents associated with part number, the user would have to zip the documents and then check-in the zip archive. This concept can be applied to other documents, such as a received purchase order which is then associated with a new internal sales order and production order. I'm also investigating using Mercurial and the Windows TortoiseHg client (or a simplfied custom management-and-incoming-inspection-clerk friendly client) to check-in an arbitrary directory structure. Users could create a local directory on their Windows box for mini-project work (e.g., datasheets for a commercial-off-the-shelf part, Word doc and graphics for a user manual, sales analysis spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation, custom part drawings and work instruction, etc.), and when they're finished, check-in the directory. I think the folder check-in might be a simpler concept for casual users, but need to finish the strawman and get some critique.

Scripting it is not that hard, but most security advisors seem to recommend against it since a smart attacker could use such a thing against you. If you know the hostname and ip, there is no reason to script it, if you don't, then you will have the script making decisions and it's possible those decisions could be leveraged to make you block the wrong thing. In spite of warnings, I did it during the bot attacks in 2006 and it really saved us. With care, it's a great solution. I'm not sure why you would do this if you know the hostname? I am missing something there, maybe the question of how you come to know that this host should be blocked. If it's content, then here is another approach. If you know the content that makes *.hostname be a bad actor, snort_inline is designed for that. You run it on a socket at startup and divert within ipfw, any traffic you want checked. You create a snort rule to do so and drop the session if it matches. Again, your drop rules need to be well designed, so it has some of the same earmarks as the scripted solutions. It does work though if you can identify a unique signature for what *.hostname (and then *.hostname2, *.hostname3 etc) is doing that they should be blocked. It handles some pretty hefty traffic too though I run it on a machine in front of the net that only does ipfw/bridging and snort_inline. It was pretty easy to set up too. With this, I'm not suggesting a hostname lookup but to drop sessions from hostname based on whatever the criteria is that you use to know that it should be blocked. --- On Thu, 6/17/10, Bernt Hansson be...@bah.homeip.net wrote: From: Bernt Hansson be...@bah.homeip.net Subject: Re: FreeBSD router (IPFW-based): how to block an URL (all IPs of an A-like HOSTNAME) To: Valerian Galeru valerian...@yahoo.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Thursday, June 17, 2010, 11:47 PM Valerian Galeru said the following on 2010-06-17 22:01: Hello, Does anyone have any ideas how to block all requests using an IPFW- based router (FreeBSD 6.4) to and from a HOSTNAME (which has more DNS A entries) or better, from any *.HOSTNAME.COM Do a whois hostname.com taking note of their ip-address range.

While I'm sure I could build a database/PHP app that would work, surely someone's already done this? Any recommendations? Maybe my answer will sound low level, but it works - REALLY works - and works with mostly every kind of data. Basically, you need to keep two things in mind: 1. PDF file filenames 2. a CSV database with a known format. Let's say you don't care much for the PDF file names. It's okay, as you don't have to. YOu have just to make sure that there aren't two files with the same name (but IF they are, different path prefixes / subdirs make it possible). Let's furthermore say you maintain a file of a format like this: # $1: $2: $3: $4 # filename : Customer Name : Date : Keywords # --:---:---: 0477763.pdf : Sixpack J. Q. : 2010-05-12: paper, plastics 76248873aT.pdf : Meow C. : 2009-03-18: fish, chips, beer UF/5u7r3jh.pdf : Woof D. : 2010-01-05: explosives rrw85673.pdf: Monk A. : 2010-04-23: tissues, water Now you can easily search it (as it is pure text), and you can use scripts (e. g. written in awk) to obtain specific information and perform certain actions (like calling a PDF viewer program with one or more files you want to view, or print files that match a certain criteria you can query for). You can use a script to compact the database (remove the pretty printing that helps when manually editing the file), or even sort it. The file name can then point to a specific subtree with all the tricks you can do on file system level. You can also easily (!) write your own GUI wrapper for a shell script that does - create new entries - edit entries - remove entries - search for entries - perform actions (open in viewer, print to printer) - add new / remove unneeded data columns I'd even recommend using Tcl/Tk for that. Oh, and did I mention that you can not only use this for PDF files, but for ALL files? It's very versatile and extendible. It doesn't tie you to a specific program. Additionally, it can be used on many platforms this way. You even don't need PHP or databases for that. :-) -- 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

The datacenter moved the sata cable to a new SATA port, and the problem continues The datacenter adds a BRAND NEW 1TB drive (now the system has 3 drive), and I am unable to format the drive because of these errors: ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=168172351 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=602334847 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=602334847 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=427014463 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=427014463 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=15425407 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=471408895 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=471408895 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=91422655 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=203161183 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=1211817727 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=1211817727 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=37998847 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=309632575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=309632575 ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=24831007 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=59067391 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=497744575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=497744575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_MUL status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=1128895 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=13920511 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=547029919 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=547029919 So, the problem has occurred on 3 different drives.

X11 stopped working
I was updating some ports (glib, png, jpeg, atk), and I did it incorrectly, by doing make deinstall and then make install. After I rebooted X11 won't run at all. I tried to run portupgrade -Rr xorg but I didn't help. I have KDE4 configured to run at startup, and it tries to run, and then exits to the prompt with this message: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 from greeter Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 1, signal 0 How should I go about fixing 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
Problem Creating GroupOffice Database (FreeBSD Group Office port)
Hi,
Has anyone had any luck getting the www/groupoffice-2.18.s.21 port working
on FreeBSD?
I'm running FreeBSD 7.3, the Apache Webserver 2.2.15_9 with PHP 5.2.13_2 and
MySQL 5.5.4.
I'm attempting to get group office up and running, but without success.
Basically, i've opened http://IPADDRESS/groupoffice/install/install.php
in a web browser - which works correctly.
I'm go through the installation screens until I hit a form (asking for
username/password to connect to mysql, as well as the details of a MySQL
user account it can create for group office's use). I enter the details and
hit the next button. I receive a message saying that a connection was
successfully established to the database.
I hit next again - at this point, it should (presumeably) run a series of
SQL statements to create the database and populate it with the initial
dataset.
Unfortunately, instead I get pages and page of error messages, intersperced
with HTML (Welcome to the Group-Office CMS)...
Database error: Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ab_addressbooks`

MySQL Error: 1146 (Table 'groupoffice.settings' doesn't exist)
Session halted.
I connected to MySQL and found that the database had been created, as well
as a user for group office to connect to it. The database however has no
tables.
Annoyingly, the documentation on the Group Office website does not seem to
be version specific, so i'm not sure if its a configuration problem specific
to the version available in the ports.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Note that I have set the following settings in my php.ini (originally
php.ini-recommended) file...
safe_mode=off
memory_limit=128MB
max_execution_time=300
error_reporting = E_ALL ~E_NOTICE
display_errors=On
log_errors=On
file_uploads=On
upload_max_filesize=64MB
I have the php MYSQL and MYSQLI extensions both installed.
I've created an alias and a directory entry in my hhtpd.conf file...
Alias /groupoffice /usr/local/www/groupoffice2
Directory /usr/local/www/groupoffice2
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory

Jazz

Obtaining / downloading latest release of freeBSD
Hi, I am a bit slow when it comes to downloads, and I have been consumed by this slowness in trying to download/obtain your latest release of FreeBSD (8.0, I think). I visited your get FreeBSD page and clicked on your amd64 distribution link, and couldn't figure out what or how to download and install your latest distribution from the resulting page. Can someone please guide a lame-brain like me to this task, please? Or point me in the right direction as to where I can obtain help for this in plain, lamens terms? Thank you! ___ 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
