Re: Current Way To Update Sources Rebuild World/Kernel? -- SOLVED

In the past, the proper way to update a system was to grab current sources via cvsup and then rebuild world and kernel. But now I see cvsup is no longer supported. Correct. The new way to obtain sources is via Subversion. The OS will hopefully soon get a csup equivalent (svnup) so you don't need to install a port with heavy dependencies. The handbook talks about freebsd-update. I do not want binary upgrades but is this the tool to replace cvsup to update sources? Basically freebsd-update updates the system binarily, as you said. But it can also be used to only update sources. In order to do this, edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf to contain the line Components src (means: you remove all the other components such as world and kernel). Then you proceed to reinstall from source as known. How do I use it to replace the old way that went something like this: cvsup sources make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel mergemaster make installworld (I'm not sure I have that in the exact proper order but it was something like that). The exact proper order can be found in the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile. You should stick to that order to avoid problems. Also see the corresponding handbook section. So is freebsd-update what I need? As explained above - or make yourself familiar with SVN, which is the CVSup / csup replacement. Is there a page that describes the steps to accomplish this? See man freebsd-update and the comments in /etc/freebsd-update.conf for details. Also see the Handbook's section about updating. Thanks for the replies. Using freebsd-update seemed the simplest method since it was already included. Worked just fine for getting the sources. And following the steps listed in comments in /usr/src/Makefile worked for building and installing the sources. Cheers, Drew -- Like card tricks?

How To Get App To Start At Boot?
I installed Splunk which is not part of the ports tree. It's a proprietary app that I downloaded and installed on it's own. I start it with '/usr/local/splunk/bin/splunk start'. It should also be stopped with '/usr/local/splunk/bin/splunk stop'. In an attempt to automate it, I created this symlink in /usr/local/etc/rc.d: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel28 Mar 3 12:32 splunk - /usr/local/splunk/bin/splunk However it's still not automatic. I can run '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/splunk start' at the command line and that works. What do I need to do to get this automated? Thanks, Drew -- Like card tricks?

I wonder, perhaps it somehow built into the Eduroam wireless, provided by the University, that the devices connected to it cannot be accessible. They can only initiate outgoing connections, but all incoming connections are somehow blocked? Given that the majority of the devices will be unsecured MS boxes, maybe the university thought that this is wise idea for safety. Perhaps I can investigate this with my IT guys. Or I might be talking complete nonsense here, not my area at all. It is kind of built in as you say. The Eduroam wireless network appears to be a private network sitting behind a NAT gateway. Thus what happens when you access the Internet is that your laptop sends that request to the NAT gateway on the Eduroam network. The NAT gateway strips off your private IP address and replaces it with a public IP address , marks the connection in its table, and sends it on it's way. Then when the answer comes back from the Internet, the NAT gateway strips off the public IP address and replaces with your private IP address, and sends it to your laptop. While on the Eduroam network, go to http://whatismyip.com. You will see that your IP is not 172.21.220.12. It will be a public IP address that Eduroam uses. Bottom line is that the only way you could ssh to your laptop from the Internet is if you got the university to give you a public IP address and port and then they set up NAT and port forwarding on their network to point that public IP address to your laptop private IP address ssh port. Since I doubt you will have much luck with that, I suspect the short answer is you can't ssh to your laptop from the Internet when it's connected to your university network. I'm sure this isn't the answer you wanted but hopefully this will save you some frustration. Cheers, Drew -- Like card tricks?

You won't be able to do a straight source build from 6.4 to 9.1; too many low-level changes like Makefile syntax and compiler options have changed. If you are comfortable with temporarily disabling non-essential things that fail to build, it is definitely possible to do a long jump to 9.1, but it'd be safer to either hop from 6.4 - (7-stable or 8-stable) - 9 doing buildkernels and buildworlds, or just do a binary upgrade of kernel and base system to 9.1. The best approach is to backup your user data and do a fresh install from 9.1 cdrom. You will bypass a bunch of headaches which may in the end force you to do a fresh install anyway. And it will save you a lot of compile time. It's alway a good feeling to know you have a pristine system when you start having problems. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give these a try.

ZFS Root Won't Mount - Unknown Filesystem
I'm attempting a new install of 9.0-RC3 amd64. My system has 4 500 GB drives. Using this tutorial as a guide: http://www.aisecure.net/2011/11/28/root-zfs-freebsd9/ I created a boot and a freebsd-zfs partition on each drive. Then I created a raid1z pool using all 4 drives. I followed the rest of the tutorial exactly and ensured that I copied the zpool.cache to boot/zfs. When I try to boot my new system, it all goes fine up until it's time to mount zfs:zroot. It fails with an error 2 unknown filesystem error. I don't know if this means anything but at the mountfrom prompt, the system will not accept any keyboard input. Same keyboard works fine when booted into LiveCD. Unfortunately because I can't figure out how to get a LiveCD type environment with sshd running, I can't copy and paste exact error messages or command outputs. I've searched and the two things that seem to be important are that there's a zpool.cache file and that the zfs partitions are correct. A 'gpart show -l' shows my partitions something close to this: 34 big numberada0GPT (456G) 34128 1 null (128K) 162 big number 2 disk0 (456G) What have I done wrong and what do I need to do to get my zfs:zroot pool mounted as root?

Later you can go to another box on the lan and use the user account to ssh into the new box and su to root. This feature has been on the installs for a while. I used it on sysinstall on 7.*.

As an iso image (in Windows) you can open any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot. I used the Windows image burning tool on the one that didn't work. However I tried on another PC that had Nero Burning ROM. That one worked.

I can recreate most of the content and have backups of the photos up until about a year ago (bad me). The one thing you haven't mentioned trying that might be worth the attempt is trying the recovery from a 9.0 disk. There has been work done on the ZFS system, and it's possible that something might work. But that's mostly just to be thorough... I may try this.

FreeBSD 8 LiveFS - How To Start SSHD?
I've lost a drive in my FBSD 8.? box. I have a FBSD 8.1 LiveFS CD from which I've booted. I'd like to get sshd running so I can connect remotely and have the ability to browse, copy/paste, etc. while I see what I might be able to salvage before replacing my drive. I've found these directions: http://wiki.ggis.biz/index.php/Recover_Using_LiveFS I can do the Configure the network connection, the setup login shell for root, and the Prepare SSH part. However the Enable, configure, and start sshd part doesn't seem to apply and really doesn't make sense. Bottom line is that after running /mnt2/use/sbin/sshd, I can see the process in ps output. However when I attempt to connect to sshd as root, my connection is immediately closed. I'm thinking it's a PermitRootLogin yes issue and I'm missing something but I've read and re-read that section and verified that /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains PermitRootLogin yes. Can anyone tell me how to get sshd running or point me to a better link? Thanks, Drew -- Like card tricks?

I can do the Configure the network connection, the setup login shell

PermitRootLogin yes issue and I'm missing something but I've read and
re-read that section and verified that /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains
PermitRootLogin yes.
If it happens -before- getting the login prompt, it is *NOT* a PermitRootLogin
isssue. If you get the login prompt, put in 'root', and are -then- cut off
it is a root login issue.
Immediate connect and disconnect points to an issue with the IP address
you're connecting from -- as sshd (or possibly tcpwrapper) sees it, that is.
could be no reverse-DNS, or inconsistent forward/reverse. Could be that
the address/domain is blocked in /etc/hosts.{deny,allow}
Thank you. Seems I had to restart sshd to get it to read hosts.allow?
I didn't think that would be the case but it worked.
Now I am having a PermitRootLogin issue because it's happening after the
login prompt. Another poster also suggested ssh -vv which I ran
locally on the LiveFS machine and it confirm that the connection is
closed after public key auth fails and it moves to keyboard-interactive.
Don't know what to try next. Seems that I can only kill sshd by
rebooting. It ignores kill -15 or kill -9 commands.
Thanks for your help.

Help with Bind Weirdness Logging
I'm running bind 9.3.5 and have been running some version of Bind for
years. The purpose of this server is to resolve for my home LAN and to
do regular queries for things outside my LAN.
Just recently, I noticed that my server can't resolve for some names.
The ones I've noticed are for Microsoft domains, specifically
go.microsoft.com and time.windows.com. For example:
# dig go.microsoft.com
; DiG 9.3.5-P2 go.microsoft.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Yet if I ask my ISP's server, I get resolution:
# dig @66.60.130.158 go.microsoft.com
; DiG 9.3.5-P2 @66.60.130.158 go.microsoft.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

But for all other domains I've tried, DNS resolution works just fine
from my server. Here's an example:
# dig yahoo.com
; DiG 9.3.5-P2 yahoo.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

So to try and diagnose this, I investigated logging. My
/var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf file had this default logging section:
logging {
category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
category security{ default_syslog; default_debug; };
category xfer-in { default_syslog; default_debug; };
category xfer-out{ default_syslog; default_debug; };
category notify { default_syslog; default_debug; };
category update { default_syslog; default_debug; };
category update-security { default_syslog; default_debug; };
category lame-servers{ default_syslog; default_debug; };
};
But I couldn't find any logging in any of my log files like
/var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log and there were no files in
/var/named/var/log. I did some Googling, commented out the above, added
the section below, and restarted named:
logging{
channel simple_log {
file /var/log/named.log versions 3 size 5m;
severity warning;
print-time yes;
print-severity yes;
print-category yes;
};
category default { simple_log; };
category network { simple_log; };
category queries { simple_log; };
category resolver { simple_log; };
category general { simple_log; };
};
This did create a log file called /var/named/var/log/named.log. However
I'm not getting much info in this log. I only get this text upon restart:
05-Aug-2011 07:39:22.583 general: error: the working directory is not
writable
What must I do to get more detailed logging that might help diagnose
this problem? Or better yet, what is going on with my Bind installation? ;)
Cheers,
Drew

Tech support is worthless. I'm going to take it back and exchange for another. Hopefully a new one will work right. Anyway, put my previous router/firewall back in place and now my DNS server is able to resolve. Thus the firewalling thing was likely the problem. Any ideas on how to get Bind logging going?

Unless there's some edge case that I'm not thinking of, adding a
backslash to escape a period will never convert a non-match into
a match. An unescaped period in an RE matches any character,
including a period. An escaped period matches only a period.
I have confirmed this. I did add the backslash but procmail is still
not matching.
Adding the backslash _does_ better represent what the OP wants
to accomplish, but the lack of it is not the cause of the RE not

REs to figure out what _is_ causing it not to match.)
True and thus I'll leave the backslash. However I have no idea what
_is_ causing it not to match either. I'm stumped.
Chances are you're 'over-specifying' what you want. take off the trailing
$, and maybe even the ''
There's _something_ in the header that is not what you 'think' it is,
which is what is causing the problem. the difficulty is -finding- what
that 'something' is.
From whatever file procmail is dumping that message into, try using a
minimal text editor (something that is *NOT* language/charset aware,
delete everything _but_ that 'From: ' line, and then use that as input
to 'od -xc' to see _exactly_ what's there.
Here is that output:
blacklamb od -xc x

And this procmail recipe does *not* match:

Do you see anything I'm missing?

Thus here is my procmail recipe:
# Deliver order info to inbox
:0
*^From:.[Ff]amous.*[Oo]rder.*famous-smoke.com$
${HOME}/Maildir/new/
Is this supposed to be match Famous OR Order? This currently matches
Famous AND Order.
No, I want Famous AND Order.
# Deliver other email to folder
:0
*^From:.*famous-smoke.com$
${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/
Going by your examples, you want to catch Famous OR Order and place
that in Maildir/new, and all other email from this address to go to
Maildir/.Shopping/...
Try this:
# catch famous or order
:0
* ^From:.*([Ff]amous|[Oo]rder).*famous-smoke.com$
$HOME/Maildir/new
# catch everything else from this sender
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com$
$HOME/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/
According to my procmail log, the From: header does not match. I would
expect the example From: header above to match the second regex and be
delivered to the specified folder. Where is my error?
If my assumption above is incorrect, could you paste a snippet from your
procmail log and point out what should be matching so we can have a
specific example?
This is the actual log entry from the example I used in this email:
From annou...@email.famous-smoke.com Fri Sep 3 10:11:08 2010
Subject: Another Must-Attend Event at Famous!

I think my problem is that I was missing a space between * and
^From:. Your example shows a space and a reply from Brent Bloxam
suggests this is the problem as well. I don't quite understand the
difference between the two but have made the change and I'll see if it
works. I'm also going to hit Google and see if I can understand.
No, still not matching. Basically, why doesn't this header:
From: Famous Smoke Shop annou...@email.famous-smoke.com
Match this procmail recipe:
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com$
${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/
From my procmail log:
procmail: No match on ^From:.*famous-smoke.com$

Regex Help For Procmail
I use procmail for mail delivery and I'm trying to concoct the right
regex to match From: headers and deliver to a folder. However mail is
sent from various addresses so I want to match all that end with
famous-smoke.com. Here's an example of a header:
From: Famous Smoke Shopannou...@email.famous-smoke.com
Because I also occasionally order, I don't want to catch mail from
anything that has the word Orders and Famous in the From field.

Bash Script Help - File Names With Spaces
I have a collection of yearly top 100 Billboard mp3s in this format (all
one line - sorry if it wraps):
/archive/Multimedia/Audio/Music/Billboard Top USA Singles/1980-028 Kenny
Loggins - This Is It.mp3
I want to create symbolic links to the top 30 in 1966-1969 in another
directory for easy migration to a flash card. Thus I invoked 'find' to
get a list (again, all one line):
find -E /archive/Multimedia/Audio/Music/Billboard Top USA Singles
-regex '.*19[6-9][0-9]-0[0-2][0-9].*'
(OK, I know this will only return the top 29)
'find' returns the complete filename as above:
/archive/Multimedia/Audio/Music/Billboard Top USA Singles/1980-028 Kenny
Loggins - This Is It.mp3
Then I attempt to use 'basename' to extract the file name to a variable
which I can later pass to 'ln'. This seems to work:
basename /archive/Multimedia/Audio/Music/Billboard Top USA
Singles/1980-028 Kenny Loggins - This Is It.mp3
returns (all one line):
1980-028 Kenny Loggins - This Is It.mp3
which is what I would expect. However using it with 'find' give me this
type of unexpected result:
for i in `find -E /archive/Multimedia/Audio/Music/Billboard Top USA
Singles -regex '.*19[6-9][0-9]-0[1-2][0-9].*'`; do basename ${i};done
1980-028
Kenny
Loggins

This
Is
It.mp3
Why is this different? And more importantly, how can I capture the file
name to $i?

do stuff
IFS=$O
Sorry for the noise.

Try:

When using back-ticks, all the output gets appended together,

a filename and a delimiter. Using 'read' instead preserves line
boundaries.
Thanks for your reply. I like this better than manipulating $IFS
because then I don't have to set it back.

named - Is It Possible to Forward Requests for One Domain to Another Server?
In my home network, I have named running to resolve machines on my LAN. It is also configured to forward requests to my ISP for all other queries. On another machine in my LAN, I used mpd to create a vpn connection to my work and set appropriate routes so that any machine on my LAN can access any machine at my work over the vpn (using mpd's nat function). This works when accessing via the IP address. Now I'm trying to get DNS resolution for machines at work. Is there some way I can tell named to request DNS info for my work domain from my work's DNS server available over the vpn? Does this make sense?

Yes, it makes sense. What you're looking for is a forward type zone in
named.conf, like
zone foobar.com {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { ip_of_work_dns_server; };
};
I'm not sure if I got the syntax 100% right.
Also consider that this might interfere with the setup of the VPN, if
you're using DNS names in the configuration, as named will not be able
to resolve hosts in foobar.com without being able to reach
ip_of_work_dns_server.
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your reply. That was what I needed.

Help With pptpclient Setup
I'm using FBSD 8.0-STABLE and trying to connect to a Cisco VPN at work. Windows PCs connect with the basic Microsoft dial-up networking client. Thus I assume pptpclient is my answer for FBSD. My work network is a class B but it's used as 254 class C networks. The vpn server address is part of that class B network. The VPN server gives me a class C address. Let's use these addresses as an example: 10.0.18.10 is the VPN server 10.0.206.150/24 is the IP address my client will be given 10.0.0.0/16 is my entire work network. I've followed examples at http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/userppp.html. My ppp.conf file looks like this: default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) WORK: set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 add 10.0.206.0/24 HISADDR alias enable yes /var/log/message shows this when trying to make a connection: May 19 08:50:34 vm pptp[89300]: anon log[main:pptp.c:314]: The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated May 19 08:50:34 vm pptp[89305]: anon log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:251]: Sent control packet type is 1 'Start-Control-Connection-Request' May 19 08:50:34 vm pptp[89305]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:739]: Received Start Control Connection Reply May 19 08:50:34 vm pptp[89305]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:773]: Client connection established.

'at' command syntax
I'm am unable to figure out the proper syntax of the 'at' command. I've read the man page over and over. I've attempted Google searches but there is a lot of 'at' in the world. Can someone please point out what's wrong with this syntax? at noon '/usr/local/bin/curl -u user:pass -d status=New products added to catalog. Check out the demo videos! - http://bit.ly/7dtLny; https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml' I've tried various ways of specifying time but always get at: incomplete time. However if I just enter 'at noon', then I am in an interactive mode where I can paste the command, end with ctrl-D, and my job gets scheduled. What am I missing?

I'm experiencing an annoying problem with vim on FBSD 8 that I don't have on FBSD 7. Whenever I start vim, if I press the down arrow as the first key, it deletes the first line of my file and enters insert mode. All the other keys work fine and even the down arrow works fine after the first press. I've searched for help but haven't turned up anything relevant. Any ideas on what I can check?

Regex Help - Greedy vs. Non-Greedy

My basic regex is: /http:.\+;/ But it's matching *all* the semi-colons. Thus I've Googled and tried various incatations to try and make my regex non-greedy but I can't seem to come up with the correct combination. How can I write a regex that stops matching at the first semi-colon? Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

I've been at this for about 10 days off and on. :) Cheers, Drew Ok, now a few days later and still frustrated. Basically I narrowed my install down to one drive, divided up with gpt. I used a few sections from http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot - specifially the section on installing the sources from /dist/8.0-BETA1 as well as rebuilding the loader as this guide says. I actually got it to load the kernel, goes through that ok. As soon as it tries to mount the root filesystem, it hangs with the following messages. (Won't respond to the keyboard anymore) --- Trying to mount root from zfs:zroot 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 (did this,no luck.. also switched to an /etc/fstab layout, still no go) and then remove the invalid mount options from /etc/fstab. Loader Variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:zroot vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw,noatime (this is from the /etc/fstab attempt) -- Then it describes some specifications on how to use the fstype:device. I just don't get how some are getting this working, yet it comes so hard for others. Drew, I hope you have had better luck than I. I may just give up until it is a viable solution. No, you're still doing better than me. Thanks for the ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot link. I have basically tried rebuilding the loader as described in that guide but did it with 7.2 sources. It didn't work. My next step is to try with the sources on 8.0-BETA1 DVD iso but every time I download the image and attempt to burn with Nero on a Windows machine, I am notified by Nero of some error in the image and am offered the opportunity to fix or ignore. I don't understand the error but will probably just ignore and see if I get a boot. Nero also thinks it's a CD and not DVD. I don't know if that will be an issue or not. I too have been considering giving up but I'm actually learning so much about the boot process and how to install FBSD that I kind of enjoy it. I've always relied on sysinstall in the past and then done interesting tricks after install to get my filesystems laid out as I want. Good luck, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Attempting ZFS Only Install of 7.2
I'm following guides at: http://lulf.geeknest.org/blog/freebsd/Setting_up_a_zfs-only_system/ http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook http://menelkir.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/howto-install-freebsd-under-zfs-including-root-part-2/ If I understand correctly, only the first link is about setting up ZFS using gptzfsboot and not a UFS partition so I used it as my primary guide. I've gone through the steps below but can't do the one to copy zpool.cache to my zpool(s). Although the 'zpool import' and 'zpool export' succeed, I can not find zpool.cache (not even using 'find / -iname zpool.cache' anywhere to copy. I've tried rebooting once after skipping this step and got stuck at the boot prompt. Upon rebooting with the LiveDVD and entering FixIt, I did not have any zpools anymore. Not knowing what else to do, I started over from creating zpools. And now I'm here again. The only step left is to copy zpool.cache and I can't. What must I do to ensure that my zpools will survive reboot? I've included my exact steps below for reference. My system has 4 drives. I booted from the LiveDVD, entered the FixIt shell, and partitioned them as follows using gpart: ad6 - 750 GB ad6p1 - 128KB freebsd-boot ad6p2 - 512MB freebsd-zfs ad6p3 - 512MB freebsd-swap ad6p4 - 465GB freebsd-zfs ad6p5 - 233GB freebsd-ufs ad8 - 500 GB ad8p1 - 128KB freebsd-boot ad8p2 - 512MB freebsd-zfs ad8p3 - 512MB freebsd-swap ad8p4 - 465GB freebsd-zfs ad12 - 500 GB ad12p1 - 1024MB freebsd-swap ad12p2 - 465GB freebsd-zfs ad14 - 500 GB ad14p1 - 1024MB freebsd-swap ad14p2 - 465GB freebsd-zfs I used gptzfsboot from the 8.1-Beta1 iso and used a USB key mounted at /tmp/da0 to copy it to the system. Basically I did: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /tmp/da0/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad6 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /tmp/da0/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad8 Next I chrooted into /dist to make a more normal for me environment. To get a good environment I performed these commands: 1. chroot /dist 2. mount -t devfs devfs /dev 3. mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp 4. set -o emacs Next I created two zpools: kldload zfs.ko zpool create root mirror /dev/ad6p1 /dev/ad8p1 zpool create data raid1z /dev/ad6p4 /dev/ad8p4 /dev/ad12p2 /dev/ad14p2 Because /root exists, the root zpool was mounted there. However /data doesn't exist and can't be created because FixIt is a read-only file system and thus the error. But in both cases, the zpool was created. Now to unmount zfs:root from /root: zfs umount root To stop zfs automounting for now, I set mount properties on the two zpools: zfs set mountpoint=none root zfs set mountpoint=none data Next I created zfs filesystems for usr and var: zfs create data/usr zfs create data/var I mounted my destination filesystems under /mnt as so: mount -t zfs root /mnt mkdir /mnt/usr mkdir /mnt/var mount -t zfs data/usr /mnt/usr mount -t zfs data/var /mnt/var Next, copy contets of LiveDVD system to destination filesystems: cd / cp -Rv bin boot etc lib libexec root sbin tmp usr var /mnt (Note: I excluded 'rescue' because on the LiveDVD it's 478MB and thus, too large for my 512MB root filesystem. I don't know why it's so big on the LiveDVD because its only around 7MB on a running 7.2 system I checked. I'm excluding and hoping my next 'make world' resolves this.) mkdir /mnt/dev Create/edit /mnt/boot/loader.conf as follows: zfs_load=YES vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:tank And now I'm at the part where I'm stuck at copying the zpool.cache file.

In your case i suspect appropriate kernel modules were not loaded and commands failed silently. I have performed several Gentoo Linux installtions from its LiveCD so I understand the concept of running a system from CD to prepare hard drives and install.

Fix It CD, bsdlabel, and /dev?
Sorry for the poor subject. Thanks for reading. I'm using this page as a guide but am at the console so I'm just using the Fix It CD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/remote-install/installation.html I'm attempting to install FBSD 7.2 64bit on a fresh machine. The machine has 3 500G drives and 1 750G drive. I'm trying to mirror root with gmirror. Following the examples, I've used fdisk to create one slice for each drive that uses the entire disk. Next I used bsdlabel and created 500M a: partitions on two of the drives (ad6 ad8). However /dev/ad6s1a and /dev/ad8s1a do not exist. I do have entries such as /dev/ad6a and/dev/ad8a but gmirror doesn't like those. What must I do the get them to show after I've labeled? Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

If you have /dev/ad[68]a, it indicates that you haven't created a slice on those disks, instead you created one partition (a) on each of the disks. there is completely NO REASON to create slices at all, unless you want to use windoze on the same drive. i don't have slices on any of my FreeBSD systems I must admit I am confused by slices and partitions. I only want to use FreeBSD on this box. It has 4 drives detected as follows: ad6 - 750 GB ad8 - 500 GB ad12 - 500 GB ad14 - 500 GB My thought is to break the disks up as so: ad6 a: 500M b: 500M d: 465G e: 225G (rest of drive) ad8 a: 500M b: 500M d: 465G (rest of drive) ad12 b: 1000M d: 465G (rest of drive) ad14 b: 1000M d: 465G (rest of drive) Then to install, I want to use gmirror and zfs as so: / - mirror ad6a and ad8a swap - all the b: partitions (if that's the right term) for a total of 3 GB swap. zfs - make a raid1z zpool with ad6d, ad8d, ad12d, and ad14d. in this pool I will create /usr and /var ad6e will just be extra space for some other use.

OpenSSL Base vs. OpenSSL Port?
I had been running 6.2 with openssl base for quite a while. Then I attempted to implement the dkim-filter port which required using openssl to generate keys. That's when I noticed that openssl is broken on my machine. See this example: # openssl genrsa -out rsa.private 1024 Error configuring OpenSSL 28086:error:260AB089:engine routines:ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string:invalid cmd name:/usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/engine/eng_ctrl.c:318: 28086:error:0E07406D:configuration file routines:CONF_modules_load:module initialization error:/usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/conf/conf_mod.c:234:module=engines, value=openssl_engines, retcode=-1 So I thought rebuilding world might fix it and while I was at it, I upgraded to 6.4 but still have the same problem. Next I tried installing openssl from ports. This openssl seems to work: # /usr/local/bin/openssl genrsa -out rsa.private 1024 Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ..++ ..++ e is 65537 (0x10001) But now I am unclear as to what state my system is in. What is the preferred method for using openssl from ports vs. using openssl base. I don't really care which I use but want to avoid trouble with multiple versions of openssl and/or ports compiled against the wrong version. I've been Googling all day but can not find a clear guide. Specifically, what should I have in my /etc/make.conf and what portupgrade command should I use to ensure things are build against the correct openssl? I've seen things like OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes, NO_OPENSSL=yes, WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes, WITH_OPENSSL_BETA=yes, and portupgrade -rf openssl but remain confused. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

that it needs to kill. That doesn't explain why it won't start the
processes though. I *think* you need to name the script urchin rather
than urchin-server, but I can't test that.
The rc script name does not seem to matter.
To fix the pid problem, rc.subr offers some optional statements that,
with the proper arguments, can overcome the problem. You'll have to
read man rc.subr and test it to figure out what works, but here's an
example that might work:
pidfile=/var/run/urchinwebd.pid
check_pidfile=${pidfile}
The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default
and I can't figure out how to make it do so.
However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by
run_rc_command. Thus I set these three lines:
start_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start
stop_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop
status_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Originally, I used $1 instead of start, stop, and status. However
this had the effect of making restart restart twice, once for the
start method and once for the stop method because
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart was being run each time.
If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the
status (running or not).
I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method
available. In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the
urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting.
I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered
process, killing that process will kill all the children as well.
Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left
the urchind processes hanging around. But no matter, I got things working.
Thanks for your help!

Help With rc.d Script
I installed a software named urchin on my FBSD 7.2 box.
Unfortunately, it didn't come with an rc.d script to automate startup
and shutdown. And even more unfortunately, I can't seem to get my head
around the concepts in Practical rc.d scripting in BSD
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/rcng-daemon.html).
This is the command that starts the app:
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
And here are the options:
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
where:
-v prints out the version of urchinctl
-h prints out this information
-e activates encryption (SSL) in the webserver
-s performs the action on the Urchin scheduler ONLY
-w performs the action on the Urchin webserver ONLY
-p specifies the port for the webserver to listen on
action is either: start, stop, restart, or status
start: starts the webserver and scheduler
stop:stops the webserver and scheduler
restart: stops and then starts the webserver and scheduler
status: prints out whether the webserver and scheduler are running
By default, the action is performed on both the webserver and the
schedulers unless the -s or -w options are specified
All I want to do is create a script within the rc.d framework that runs
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start when the system boots and
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop when the system shuts down.
Following the examples in the guide mentioned above, here is my attempt
at that file:
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: urchin
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable urchin:
# urchin_enable=YES (bool): Set to NO by default.
# Set it to YES to enable urchin.
. /etc/rc.subr
name=urchin
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
eval ${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable=YES' is in /etc/rc.conf.
However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but
doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed. See this output:
urchin# ./urchin-server start
Starting urchin.
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
snipped rest of options already shown above
I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept. I'd really appreciate a kick
in the right direction.
Thanks,
Drew

I appreciate your help and added those lines. However it seems it
didn't help.
urchin# ./urchin-server status
urchin_args=status: not found
urchin is not running.
However it is running:
urchin# /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Urchin webserver is running
Urchin MASTER scheduler is running
Urchin SLAVE scheduler is running
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew

Where is urchin located? /usr/local/bin? /usr/local/bin/urchin/bin?
Or somewhere else? Is urchinctl a shell or perl script?
There is no actual urchin as far as I know. The control file is
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl. It is a executable file:
urchin# file /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
After running /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start, I have these
related processes:
urchin# ps acux | grep urchin

And conversely, /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop removes all of
the above processes.

What Is Needed For SimpleXML Support in PHP?
I have php5-5.2.9 installed on my FBSD 6.3 system. I am attempting to use a php script that fails with: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string() Googling suggests that this function is part of the PHP software and is installed by default unless built with the --disable-simplexml configure option. On my system, almost everything including PHP has been installed using portupgrade. I searched the ports and found one named php5-simplexml so I installed it and tried the script again. It still failed with the same error. More Googling and I found that php -m will show which modules are available. Here's that output: blacklamb php -m [PHP Modules] ... SimpleXML ... Thus it appears that SimpleXML is available. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I'm lost. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

My guess is that this is a web script that you're running via a browser, and you didn't restart Apache after installing simplexml. Apache seems to cache the list of installed PHP modules. This is what I first thought when I saw this. It also may matter that because simplexml depends on xml and iconv extension=xml.so and extension=iconv.so may need to be before extension=simplexml.so in extensions.ini Yes, specifically I was attempting to use a WordPress plugin. And although I was sure I had restarted Apache since installing php5-simplexml, I tried again. The resolved the error. I will now sit in the corner wearing my dunce cap.

It would help greatly if you could explain what the problem is that you're trying to track down? I understand I'm asking for magic. I do not know the problem. My employer's Internet group purchased a software called Urchin which appears to be a standalone version of Google Analytics for web site reporting. I have been tasked with installing this software. Supported OSs are Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows. I chose FreeBSD 7 as I've been using it for my home network for years. However I will be the first to admit that I do not really understand the internals. I am just grateful that others that do understand have provided and support this OS for me. :) The Urchin software reports a failed to allocate memory error. The sparse Urchin documentation noted above says this error is a known issue with FreeBSD and that kern.maxdsiz needs to be set at 1 GB to avoid. Because of help from the list, I learned that the default size in 64 bit FBSD is 32 GB. Thus I didn't think this is my issue and was seeking any ideas of what else to look at that might be similar. Mel gave me a great nudge that if Urchin is a 32 bit binary (which it is), then it is limited by compat.ia32.maxdsiz which is 500 MB by default. I have set this to 1GB and so far, there have not been any further memory errors. Many thanks to everyone for his/her help! Cheers, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Re: Question on creating a video server
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Hi All, OK, I'm just asking for opinions here on some application software. Like most people we have a nice big 21 TV set that will be obsolete in Feb. I have been thinking about replacing this with a big screen TV set but the prices on them are still way, way way out of my budget (I just can't see spending $500 for a TV set, sorry) I can pick up really high quality, large, old-style video monitors from a computer surplus place near here for next to nothing. I'd like to setup a PC and put a HDTV tuner card in it for over-the-air HDTV broadcasts, and use that as a TV. We also have a ton of DVD's and I'd like to rip these to video files and put them on the PC. Then when anyone wants to watch a movie they just watch it off the PC. I've already started doing this under Windows and it works great - it's even better since I can remove all those movie previews that the studio wants to force you to watch. Has anyone done this with FreeBSD and open source software, and has recommendations on what hardware to get and what software works with it? PREFERABLY cheap - since ultimately we likely will get a big screen TV set once the prices fall. I've read the thread and have to vote for a Linux install and MythTV. It will do everything you require rather well. I started down the FBSD path for a PVR and quickly ran into trouble back in 2006. From what I understand, it hasn't gotten much better due to the driver issues. Anyway, next I tried building MythTV on Fedora Core as it seemed to be a popular platform and Jerrod Wilson had a nice guide. Being from the FBSD world where the ports system worked so well, I quickly found myself in rpm hell, especially when Fedora Core didn't support my SCSI card at the time. I found a nice home with Gentoo Linux as it's portage system is much like ports. The biggest issue with OTA HDTV streams is that the processing power required to playback is pretty significant. I used an Athlon XP 2800 and it was barely adequate for HDTV. I had to suffer occasional skips and pauses but it was still watchable. I have since upgraded to a Athlon X2 3800 and the dual cores have really helped out. One can playback while other system tasks are handled by the other core. Another issue is that HDTV is huge. About 8 GB per hour. However if you have the hardware around and want to give it a try, I suggest the HDHomerun tuner. It's a network attached dual ATSC tuner that works well with both Windows and Linux for about $160 as I recall. MythTV supports it directly as well. With that, a spare PC, and some drive space you could at least experiment. And the beautiful part is that once you get your nice, new LCD, you will have already built the PVR and will continue to enjoy commercial free television. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. I love my MythTV build and wonder how I ever watched TV without it. Cheers, Drew P.S.

libncurses.so.6 Not Found - How to Get 32 bit Version?
First, I must say I love the ports system!!! It keeps me from suffering as I am now. :) Anyway, I'm attempting to install a web log analysis software from Google named Urchin. The installation docs say it's supported on FBSD 6.2+. As I am dedicating a machine to this software, I've performed a brand new install of 7.1-PRERELEASE.

Now the install script is complaining that /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libncurses.so.6 not found. I used ldd on the executable the script is attempting to run and get this output: libncurses.so.6 = not found (0x0) libcrypt.so.3 = /usr/local/lib32/compat/libcrypt.so.3 (0x280be000) libz.so.3 = /usr/local/lib32/compat/libz.so.3 (0x280d7000) libstdc++.so.5 = /usr/local/lib32/compat/libstdc++.so.5 (0x280e8000) libm.so.4 = /usr/local/lib32/compat/libm.so.4 (0x281be000) libc.so.6 = /usr/local/lib32/compat/libc.so.6 (0x281d4000) I did search my system and found /usr/local/lib/compat/libncurses.so.6. I tried adding a symlink to /usr/local/lib32/compat but then received an ...unsupported layout... error when attempting to run the executable: I assume that is because the libncurses.so.6 library is a 64 bit version? I've removed the symlink. Assuming my assumptions are correct, how can I get a 32 bit libncurses.so.6 version on my system? Or if I'm wrong, what do I need? Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Looking back at it, I'm surprised I didn't mention that. Gentoo has over 24 thousand ebuilds, where an ebuild is their equivalent of a port: Err, don't confuse ebuilds with packages. A package is a piece of software (which is the equivalent of a port), whereas an ebuild is an install script for a specific version of a package. Normally, there's more than one version of a package (more than one ebuild) available for a package, which makes the ebuild count higher than the FreeBSD ports count, but the package count lower (somewhere above 12000). This doesn't count slotted ebuilds: for example, Gentoo has just one gtk package, which contains several ebuilds for slot 12 which is gtk-1.2.x and several ebuilds for slot 20, which is gtk-2.x (different slots are treated as different packages by the system internally), whereas FreeBSD has a gtk12 and a gtk20 port, which installs the respective versions. So, basically whatever numbers you take, they can't be compared directly anyway, but I guess that the number of ports is still higher than the Gentoo amortized package count would be. And also be aware that many utilities included in the FreeBSD base system are ebuilds in the Gentoo world. tcpdump and top are just two examples I can think of off the top of my head.

I use XFS on a Gentoo Linux distribution for a MythTV box and it has performed well for me. I've lost power on several occasions and the filesystem has remained intact. However I recall reading somewhere that XFS is better tuned for large files (such as the TV recordings that are 2+ Gb each) so you may want to check that before settling. I have no idea about XFS on FreeBSD. [snip] HTH, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

HTH, Tried that, got: webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument Which doesn't make any sense to me, as it seems to be telling me the /dev/da0s1 is an invalid argument. Just for the hell of it, I tried: webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0 /mnt/usbdrive mount_ntfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument Argh. Hate it when what I expected to be a simple task eats this much time. Another guess. I wonder if you have to spell out the full slice such as /dev/da0s1whatever. I know slice c is used to represent the entire drive but there's something special about it. Thus verify that mounding /dev/da0/s1c will not destroy data before mounting. Maybe bsdlabel would be of help here? It should show you the slices on the drive and then you can try mounting.

Help with Crontab
I'm trying to use cron to run a script on the first Sunday of every month at 0930. I used this entry in the crontab: # Run 1st Sunday at 0930 - Fulls 30 9 1-7 * 7 /usr/local/scripts/backup_bootstrap.sh Yet this script just ran on Thursday, December 6 at 0930. Why? I just added it to cron so I don't know if it will run on any other days. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

I just added it to cron so I don't know if it will run on any other days. See crontab(5), which says: Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields -- day of month, and day of week. If both fields are restricted (ie, are not *), the command will be run when either field matches the current time. For example, ``30 4 1,15 * 5'' would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on the 1st and 15th of each month, plus every Friday. HTH, Kevin Kinsey Thank you for the reply. Now I see the light. :) So I suppose there is no way to schedule as I wish using cron. I suspect I'll have to modify my script to do the date checking and only execute the meat if it's the right date. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Re: Upgraded Samba and Can't Connect with Win XP -- SOLVED!!!

Now I can't connect with Windows XP clients however smbclient both locally and remotely works just fine. Basically when connecting from Windows XP, I see the connection in log.smbd and then it's immediately closed. See this snip: [2007/07/28 14:36:25, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033) bigdaddy (192.168.1.3) connect to service Archive initially as user user name (uid=0, gid=1001) (pid 82696) [2007/07/28 14:36:25, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1230) bigdaddy (192.168.1.3) closed connection to service Archive The Windows machine was working fine with Samba before the upgrade. Any ideas what changed? I've read UPDATING and the samba docs but see nothing that addresses my symptoms. Google hasn't helped either. I recollect having some problems while upgrading from Samba 3.0.24 to 3.0.25. In my case, however, Samba kept crashing and complained about some corrupt .tdb files. Finally I deleted all the files in /var/db/samba and that fixed it for good. One thing that caught my attention in your snippet is the uid=0 part. Is your Windows user you are trying to connect as mapping to the Samba machine's root user? The first time I installed Samba I had made some mistakes in the config file and so my Windows user was getting mapped to uid 0 thus getting denied by Samba (coz I had defined root as an invalid user for security reasons). Maybe something like that is your problem? Regards, Rakhesh Thanks for your reply. Oddly enough, rebooting the Windows clients has solved the problem. Windows must have been caching something that prevented it from staying connected to the new version. I hadn't noticed uid=0. Thanks for pointing that out as I'm sure it's a potential security issue. I was attempting to log on as myself which should have a uid=1000. Cheers, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!
