To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hi, I never had such a monster of a big harddisk; hence my question. I've got a 160 Gb Western Digital Harddisk (WD 1600 JB). It comes with a tiny CD-rom, about 8cm in diameter, entitled Data Lifeguard Tools. I don't know what to do with this CDrom. I am planning to use this harddisk as the only harddisk in my PC and install FreeBSD (preferably version 5-Current) on it. Will I encounter problems? Does it need extra tweeking? The Western Digital homepage says somewhere: Hard drives larger than 137 GB require a controller card to utilize full drive capacity. What does that mean? Another question. The Western Digital homepage lists this about the harddisk: Data Transfer Rate (Buffer to Host) 100 MB/s (Mode 5 Ultra ATA) 66.6 MB/s (Mode 4 Ultra ATA) 33.3 MB/s (Mode 2 Ultra ATA) 16.6 MB/s (Mode 4 PIO) 16.6 MB/s (Mode 2 multi-word DMA) Do I have to tell this to the kernel somehow, or is this a BIOS thing? Are there good reasons not to choose the fastest option Mode 5 here? Thanks for help and advice. Rob. What kind of computer are you planning to insert the harddisk? Here I have a 80 Gb Hard-disk in a Pentium 2. I had to update the BIOS settings so the computer would reconigze the Hard-drive. If you have a relative old computer I think you have to update the BIOS. good luck -- Frank Staals - The Greatest pleasure in life is doing things people say you cannot do - Walter Bagehot - With questions or comment mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Acer Aspire 1356 LCi + WLAN
In august last year I bought an Acer Aspire 1356 LCi laptop. WLAN was built in but I knew it wouldn't work in FreeBSD yet, so I used a SMC2662W USB WLAN adapter. Now half a year later I was wondering Maybe I can setup the internal WLAN connector than I can use the USB adapter on a different computer. By google'ing on the laptop name + WLAN didn't bring up much of a help. So my question was does anyone have a Acers Aspire 1350 series ( or similar ) with internal WLAN working with FreeBSD ?

ftp monitoring and limiting transfer rates
Hey everyone, I have a question:
I am running FreeBSD 5.3 with the default ftp-server ( ftpd ) as ftp
deamon, everything works fine but I'd like to see what files peolpe are
trying to download and when people log in. I would like I can get a html
file which I can access on my httpd server. I know I can see who is
loggin in by : tail -f /var/log/xferlog but that doesn't show what files
are being transfered.
My second question is about bandwith managing. How can I limit the
ftp-transfer speeds that are used for downloading when people connect
over rl1, my NIC which is connected to my modem and the internet. I am
running pf for my firewalling and allready tried this in /etc/pf.conf:
# assign packets to a queue.
pass out on $ext_if from localhost to any port { 20, 21 } keep state
queue ftp
##altq on $ext_if bandwidth 2Mb cbq queue { dflt, developers, marketing }
##queue dflt bandwidth 5% cbq(default)
##queue developers bandwidth 80%
##queue marketing bandwidth 15%
altq on $ext_if bandwith 60Kb cbq queue { dflt, ftp }
queue dflt bandwith 70%
queue ftpbandwith 30%
but this doesn't seem to work.

PF and VPN/Hamachi
Hey, I'm having some trouble with my FreeBSD PF firewall and hamachi ( http://www.hamachi.cc ) , a simple program to set up a vpn. I asked my question on the hamachi forums but nobody seems to reply. Currently I have these rules in my pf.conf: # For Hamachi: rdr pass on $extif inet proto udp from any to $extaddr port 12975 - 192.168.2.11 port 12975 and I just allow all outgoing traffic: #Allow everyting outwards pass out all keep state I tried about every rule stated in this topic ( http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=1079 ) on the hamachi forums but none seem to work; either they have an invalid syntax or I just can't use that port ( someone redirected the traffic to port 25 which I'm allready using ). I also tried this rule, but it doesn't seem to help: nat on $extif from $intif:network port 12975 to any - $extif static-port I hope someone can tell me what to do because they are either also use hamachi through a PF firewall or know what the correct syntax should be.

Shellscript syntax question
Hey,
I'm trying to write a ( simple ) shellscript to move files arround, for
this reason I wanted to check wether 'episode_last' has a higher value
than 'episode_first' ( so that last can't be 3 if first is 60 ). So I
tried :
*if** [* ${episode_last} ${episode_first}* ]*; *then
code
fi
*As I thought what would have been the correct syntax, but I got this error when running the script :
./massmove: line 136: 05: No such file or directory
'05' was the value of $episode_first and '01' was the value of $episode_last
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong/ what it should be and where I could find such info. I tried searching in google about this, but I wasn't able to find anything usefull.
Thanks in advance

damn The copied collors in the syntax-hilighting in KATE screwed up my

You want -lt not . is a file redirect, which is why the shell
complained that it couldn't find a file named 05. I also assume all
those asterisks aren't in your script.
About the asteriks : No they weren't but for some reason Thunderbird had
problems with the color remaining from the KATE Syntax-hilighting.
Anyway: thanks for the solusion, but what would be the expressions for
less or equal and greater or equal ?

Weird behaviour 'umount' on NFS disk
Hey, Usually I work at my laptop, if I'm at home I can mount some directories from my server so I can also access those files and I don't have to ftp them. For the mounting I use this script : [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /usr/local/bin/nfsmount #!/bin/sh srv=192.168.2.1 if [ $1 = -wlan ]; then srv=192.168.5.1 fi echo Mounting home/net/var-/mnt/var , home-/mnt/server and home/net/server-/mnt/series from $srv mount $srv:/home/net/var/ /mnt/var/ mount $srv:/home/ /mnt/server/ mount $srv:/home/net/series/ /mnt/series/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] The IP adres of my server is 192.168.2.1 when using LAN and it is accessable at 192.168.5.1 using WLAN. It is set up allowing mounts from my laptop using LAN as well as WLAN. This works perfectly. For unmounting the three NFS-mounts I use an other script which is just three times an 'umount' : #!/bin/sh umount /mnt/server umount /mnt/series umount /mnt/var df -m echo /mnt/server , /mnt/series and /mnt/var unmounted [EMAIL PROTECTED] Up until a week ago this worked fine. I could mount and unmount the directories without any problems. But then a weird error occured. When I tried unmounting them. The umount command hangs when trying to unmount a disk but when I cancel the umount ( with Ctrl + c ) df shows that the disk is unmounted. It just won't give me a prompt again. The same thing happens when I try to unmount them manually. I can unmount a disk, but it just stops.

Redirecting Traffic with PF
Hey, I have an FreeBSD server/firewall running 5-Stable with PF. I want to redirect all udp traffic on port 27902 from the internet to a computer in my network. I used this rule but I have some problem with it: sometimes connections on that port are refused and I can't connect with other players ( it's for a online game ) : rdr on $extif inet proto udp from any port 27902 - 192.168.2.11 port 27902 I think the problem might have something to do with the different network interfaces since the traffic is comming in on $extif and has to go to an computer connected to $intif ? And how can I do that ? Can I change it to: rdr on $extif inet proto udp from any port 27902 - $intif 192.168.2.11 port 27902 ? Or what do I have to do to fix it.

At home I have a FreeBSD server with a couple harddiscs in them. I work on my laptop and mount the discs from the server using NFS. But when copying files from server to laptop or vice versa I have no idea how long it will take before it is finished. Is there a way to show those speeds ?

Re: gname
Grant Peel wrote: Wow, After a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.4, (with Xorg) I tried installing Gnome, and I get a stop during build, Filesystem Full! Is Gname really that big? or did I miss doing something? Well it is big, but since you are installing from a clean system all the gnome dependencies will also have to install their dependencies and so on. So basically you have to install a *lot* of ports which may take quite some space/time if you do not clean up nicely. Use 'make install clean' or 'make install distclean' to install your ports (if you didn't allready) that will order the make process to remove the files it uses during it's build (and distclean also cleans the downloaded distfiles in the distfiles dir ) Doing a du -h -d1 on /usr shows ... 7.0G ports. 1.8G local Check inside ports what is taking up the most space, most likely your distfiles dir is huge as well as the build directories inside a lot of ports itself. You can manually remove the distfiles for ports you allready installed from /usr/ports/distfiles. If that does not help enough also remove some of the work directories for the ports you installed allready but are not cleaned by make yet and resume your build.

However, before you run off and reinstall: (again back then) both the bge and wpi driver (i.e. LAN and WLAN) did not work properly after resuming. This basically made sleeping the laptop useless. I'm not sure this is such good news, but I hope it is informative. If you manage to get it working let me know.

Try using the port; this is exactly why we have them. [/usr/ports/www/opera-devel] With the port I got the same error so that didn't do the job.

Blocking traffic with PF
Hey everyone,
I would like to bock all traffic from one host, the problem is the data
isn't comming from that host anymore, it is redirected from my router, I
am using PF as firewall, this is te ruleset I wanted to use for it:
block in from { example.host.com , example2.secondhost.com } to any
but when I enable tcpdump when starting the application which triggers
the comming data from the hosts I want to block this is a piece of what
it shows ( with the -v option ) :

Riza.FStaals.LAN.54487: 36114 NXDomain* 0/0/0 (44 )
So the problem is that the data is redirected at my router (
SpeedTouch.FStaals.LAN ) to my laptop ( Riza.FStaals.LAN ) but I can't
block all the traffic from my router since all other data I do want to
receive. My router doesn't have an option to block specified URLs so I
can't do it there eighter.
Has anyone an Idea how I can block all the data from the 'bad-hosts' (
which I changed here in example.host.com and example2.secondhost.com )
Thanks in advance

Looking for a KATE replacement
Hey everyone, When I started using FreeBSD for desktop usage ( about a year ago ) I used KDE as desktop manager, but now I am using XFCE4.2.1 for that purpose. But when writing html pages, scripts, programs etc I still use KATE ( KDE Advanced Text Editor ), the thing is that it starts up realy slow ( probably because it has to load a lot of basic kde stuff ). So the question was does anyone know a good graphical replacement for Kate, I esspecially like the bar on the left which lets you easily switch between multiple files, and the build in terminalclient on the bottom. I tried looking in the ports/editors section but there are that many editors I realy don't know what to use. I am looking for a graphical editor, not commandline ( therefor I allready use joe ). So anyone ideas ? thanks in advance Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Synchronising jails
Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, I am under the impression that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

Ndis + Netgear WG311v3 ; Won't attach device correctly
Hey, Today I got my hands on a Netgear WG311v3 and since there is no propper support for that card I decided to use nids, so I installed the ndis and if_ndis kernel modules, generated a new Kernel Module by using the WG311v3.INF and WG311v3XP.sys files; according to this thread: http://linuxcompatible.org/Netgear_WG311v3_WLAN_PCI_Card_with_Debian_Linux_Testing_t33271.html I should use those files. So far it worked, I loaded the module correctly and I had a ndis0. Allthough I had problems configuring the card correctly ( it wouldn't assosiate ). So I reloaded the module but this time it wouldn't attach my device correctly.

This is the key. I can't remember where I read it but this is a documented caveat of the ndis driver. Windows doesn't typically invoke network drivers until after the system is loaded, so some drivers won't work in FreeBSD unless they're loaded after the system is up. So take the line out of /boot/loader.conf, test that the driver works correctly if you reboot and kldload it manually, then make an rc script or something to automatically load the driver later in the boot process.

6.1-Stable + named ndis + nfsd == System crash ?
About a week ago I rebuilded world and updated from 5.4-STABLE to 6.1-STABLE and I'm using a Netgear WG311v3 with ndiswrapper as WLAN card. My computer acts as a gateway for my LAN and WLAN. Saturdaynight I found out my server crashed while copying data from my server to my laptop through WLAN ( using ndis0 ), when I looked in the logfiles I couldn't find anything strange ( or at leat at the places I looked ) and decided to let it be. But today I had the same problem; I have a couple directories mounted using NFS ( Server: the 6.1-STABLE computer ; host : My laptop ), when I tried to copy data from one of those directies to my local drive suddenly my server crash again. The only strange thing I found were these messages in /var/log/messages from the time my server crashed: Aug 14 15:52:22 FStaals named[541]: could not listen on UDP socket: permission denied Aug 14 15:52:22 FStaals named[541]: creating IPv4 interface ndis0 failed; interface ignored Aug 14 16:52:22 FStaals named[541]: could not listen on UDP socket: permission denied Aug 14 16:52:22 FStaals named[541]: creating IPv4 interface ndis0 failed; interface ignored Aug 14 17:52:22 FStaals named[541]: could not listen on UDP socket: permission denied Aug 14 17:52:22 FStaals named[541]: creating IPv4 interface ndis0 failed; interface ignored I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my system crash.

IIANM, Xorg 6.9 is exactly the same as 7.0, just packaged all together (6.9) rather than in separate modules (7.0). Thus I believe the assumption that installing 7.0 would improve matters is incorrect. FYI, RC1 without compositing enabled works flawlessly so far for me on -CURRENT. I'm running Xorg 6.9, portupgraded less than a week ago. Jud Hmm then I realy think the compositor needs a lot of work. When I enable the fancy effects xfce slows down to about 50% of it's speed.

Automatically detach screen after given amount of time ? / Authpf in background ?
A couple days ago I set up authpf on my FreeBSD gateway for authentication of my wifi network. Everything works great, the only thing that is/was bothering me was that I had to keep open a terminal on my laptop for the ssh session. I quickly thought of using screen to fix that problem. The thing is I want to see the confirmation authpf gives when starting the ssh transfer ( The 'welcome username you are authenticated from ip' message ). After that it should just send the ssh session to the background. So I came up with this script : [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /home/scripts/root/seescreen #!/bin/sh script to log in to connect to screen for only a set amount of time ## Settings to use: rtime=3 ## time to wait before calling screen's reatach dtime=4 ## time to wait before calling screen's detach # if called with '-reatach' if [ $1 = -reatach ] ; then sleep $rtime seescreen -detach screen -r fi # if called with '-detach' if [ $1 = -detach ] ; then sleep $dtime screen -d fi now I could start my authentication session with 'screen -wipe; sudo wlan ; seescreen -reatach ; screen -d -m ssh -l wifi wlanserver'. ( where wlan is an other script to set up my wlan connection '. I made an alias in my bashrc file to prevent typing all this. The weird thing is that the first times I ran my script during testruns I could set the rtime to 1 but then it seemed that wasn't enouth time so I had to make 2 of it and everything worked again. But then it didn't work with 2 either and I had to set it to 3 and now even 3 doesn't seem enough to reconnect to my screen session. It shouldn't take that long to start the 'screen -d -m command' does it ? So my question was: Am I missing something resulting in the need of a longer rtime ? If there is nothing wrong with it what would be a good value ? Or is there some other way I could run my ssh session in the background ?
