Re: Running 2 wireless cards

2002-09-21 Thread Pete Muller

Bob Johnson asked:

So when you ping the second card, you're turning off WEP on your laptop?
_ _ _ _

Most definitely - never have it on, as a matter of fact.

WEP is only running to [marginallyg] secure the link between wi0 and the
AP that's 10 miles away.

I've yet to ever have a problem with wi0 (the 192.168.10.x network in this
case).


It's wi1 that I can't talk to.  :-(

Re: About to install FreeBSD as a Desktop...

Well, bugfixes for one thing, but also some added functionality (FBSD keeps 
improving ;)). Best thing is to run -STABLE (read the FreeBSD Handbook on how 
to do this), and keep your ports-tree current.

So, just install 4.6.2, update to -STABLE, update your portstree, and then 
install KDE, X and all the other needed stuff. Voila, you've got neat 
Desktop-computer. ;)

 And finally, I've really only used FreeBSD as a work environment so I've
 never had the chance to answer this question myself.can I view
 DVD's?  And if so what program should I use?

Yes, I prefer mplayer. But there is VLC, Xine and Ogle as well (all in ports).

Re: error building mozilla-- cannot find -lglib

2002-09-21 Thread Mark J. Miller



 Somehow your Mozilla is being configured incorrectly.  Make sure your
 /usr/ports/Mk directory is up-to-date, then do a make clean in the
 mozilla directory, and try to rebuild.  It shouldn't be looking for
 -lglib, but rather -lglib12.

This is handled by the glib12-config script (installed as part of
glib12).  What does glib12-config --libs report?  What revision of
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk do you have?

% glib12-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lglib12

I did a 'locate glib| grep config' and found another binary called
glib-config in /usr/local/bin.  The version it reported was 1.2.8, while
glib12-config reports 1.2.10 .  I removed the old binary, ran a make clean
install again, but got the same error.

The version of /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk is
# $FreeBSD: ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk,v 1.424 2002/09/19 00:16:39 kris Exp $

I should note that earlier I had a problem with libIDL which I've just
come across again:

cc -o xpidl.o -c -DOSTYPE=\FreeBSD4\ -DOSARCH=\FreeBSD\ -DOJI
-I../../../dist/include/xpcom -I../../../dist/include
-I/usr/ports/www/mozilla/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -fPIC
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -W -Wno-unused
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long -O -pipe -march=pentiumpro
-pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -ffunction-sections -I/usr/local/include/glib12
-I/usr/local/include/orbit-1.0 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -include ../../../config-defs.h -DMOZILLA_CLIENT
xpidl.c
In file included from xpidl.c:42:
xpidl.h:53: libIDL/IDL.h: No such file or directory

To get around this, I installed libIDL, which had a dependency on glib20.
This did solve the IDL problem.  After seeing the glib problem, I did a
pkg_delete -f on glib20, reinstalled glib12, and got the same error I have
now (can't find -lglib).  I don't think this would have any effect (I'm
doing make clean install each time), but am I missing something?  Should
mozilla have its own version of IDL?

Here are the lines from the build process that have to do with glib:
===  Cleaning for glib-1.2.10_7
===   mozilla-1.0.1,2 depends on shared library: glib12.3 - found
checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib12-config
checking for GLIB - version = 1.2.0... yes

It seems like config is detecting the correct version, but it's still
using -lglib, not -lglib12 as you mentioned.

Thanks for your continuing help,
Mark

There are cases that portupgrade doesn't appear to handle. An upgrade 
to qt and kde at the same time was another one. Portupgrade of qt 
tried to start with kdebase instead of kdelibs and the build of 
kdebase failed. You could portupgrade qt and then recursively upgrade 
kdelibs.

The current dependancy list for portupgrade is

opal# search portupgrade
Port:   portupgrade-20020921
Path:   /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
Info:   Very powerful FreeBSD ports/packages upgrading tool and more
Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

R-deps: ruby-1.6.7.2002.09.12 ruby-bdb1-0.1.7 
ruby-shim-ruby18-1.7.3.2002.09.12

It is almost easier to pkg_delete the old list and just manually build 
and install portupgrade-20020921.

No, the security-level is not lowered when you drop to

  Changing the kern_securelevel requires rebooting.

Well ...  :-)

If you have DDB (the kernel debugger) enabled in your

At the DDB prompt, type:

Of course, that still means you have a short downtime,
because the services are unavailable while you're in

You should set the TERM environment variable to the terminal

internal console, do this at the beginning of your script:

export TERM=cons25

Otherwise (serial console or whatever) set it to the appro-

The manpages should be obvious:  clear(1) (which is the same
as tput(1)) and termcap(5).

Re: Using MFS for the first time

Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
  Okay, so I've been using Windows, so what?! Sure it crashes alot, and
  has a serious number of fatal errors, but it compatible with an easy to
  configure Ram-disk program. In a matter of seconds, i had a virtual

That's right, the old RAM-Disk driver even existen in the
old DOS days, 15 years ago, and that's where it belongs.
It is static and non-swappable.  Not even perfect for a
single-tasking system like DOS.  ;-)

  Okay, so maybe i exaggerate a little. I'm not too fond of Windows.
  Freebsd is the best choice i've made by far. However, i am quite new to
  MFS usages, and Kernel compilations. I'm hoping that an expert in this
  field can point out the pro's and con's, usages of, maintenance of MFS.
  Btw, this is just a standalone system, a personal computer, u might say.

I'm not an expert, but I'm using MFS myself.  It's pretty
easy to set up:  Add a line like this to your /etc/fstab
file:

/dev/null  /tmp  mfs  rw,nosuid,nodev,-s=204800,-m=0,-T=minimum  0  0

The number behind -s= specifies the maximum size in disk
blocks, where one block is 512 bytes.  In the above example,
the MFS filesystem would be 100 Mbytes.  It is mounted on
/tmp, which is the typical usage for an MFS.

Pros:  Well, it's faster than a physical disk, as long as
there is enough RAM to back up the data.  If you run out
of RAM, the contents of the MFS are (partially) paged to
the swap area on your harddisk, just like a normal process
(and unlike the DOS RAMdisk driver).

Cons:  If you're really low on RAM, and MFS won't do you
any good -- quite the opposite:  It takes up valuable RAM
which ends up being paged to disk anyway if there's not
enough RAM left.

Another disadvantage is that the contents of the MFS are
lost when the machine reboote (obviously).  On the other
hand it could be seen as an advantage, as the contents of
/tmp don't have to be cleaned after a reboot.

Be careful not to mount an MFS on /var/tmp, because this
directory is expected by several tools to survive a reboot
(for example to save vi editor sessions)!

Re: Measure bandwidth and show it at graph in mrtg

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
  I would like to measure bandwidth used by a game server on an UDP port. I would 
  like to have a graph in mrtg that shows upload and download rate too.

There are quite a lot of ways to do that.  One of them is
to setup SNMP, but for such a simple task it is not
necessary.

I would do it like this:  Add two pass-rules to the IPFW
configuration which serve as counters for that specific UDP
port (one rule for outgoing, and one rule for incoming).
Then you can use a trivial small shell script that calls
/sbin/ipfw show to find the number of bytes (in the 3rd
column) for those two rules.  Then configure mrtg to call
that script every 5 minutes.

For example, if your address is 1.2.3.4 and the port number
is 5678, given these two rules:

add pass udp from any to 1.2.3.4 5678# incoming
add pass udp from 1.2.3.4 5678 to any# outgoing

The following shellscript should do for mrtg:

#!/bin/sh -
/sbin/ipfw show | awk '/1\.2\.3\.4 5678/ {print $3}'

That's all.  Configure mrtg to call that script (the syntax
in mrtg.conf is to use backticks, see the mrtg docs), and
enjoy your bandwidth graphics.  :)

If you really have only started to install it, forget installing 4.5.

Instead, download either the CD iso-s or floppy images for 4.6.2 and

sio, tty, vector, siointr etc

2002-09-21 Thread michael green

I've got a Byterunner tc800 set to 0x100 and irq 4 to
correspond with an Arnet 8 port for
use under SCO OpenServer for terminals (the mboard com
ports are disabled). 

I'm having difficulty getting it to run under FBSD
4.6.0 (large numbers of dropped characters). Config
returns a syntax error when the keywords tty, vector
or  siointr (see below) are used. I've reviewed man
sio, LINT, handbook, and searched the maillist
archives, the www and Byterunner web site.

Could someone expand on the instructions in man sio
especially the hex flags code and the 
use of tty and the other keywords. 
device sio0 at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0xb05
..other identical lines except io port. irq 4
vector siointr

I've tried to implement software flow* control using
stty on the ttydx, ttyidx and ttyldx devices but ixoff
revert back to -ixoff.
* Its an existing 3 wire installation, running SCO
OpenServer.

Oh yes and what does this mean?:

You should set the 0x1 flag (only in current yet)
as well, to avoid the case where a pending IRQ from a
higher port prevents sio`s test#3 from passing on a
lower port.

Thanks.

That's kind of hard to answer without knowing what the spec is for
your School's network --- how many users, how much space required for

that doing it the FreeBSD way will save you thousands on the cost of
software licences.  You should also be able to make some economies on
hardware spec and achieve the same level of performance compared to
most commercial OSes, but it's harder to state definitively how much.

However, you're still going to have to pay for hardware, for the cost
of people to administer the network, consumables, insurance and
probably for some sort of hardware support so you can get equipment
fixed promptly.  It's possible to do all your own hardware support if
you're handy that way but unless you're site is big enough that you

   MFS usages, and Kernel compilations. I'm hoping that an expert in this
   field can point out the pro's and con's, usages of, maintenance of MFS.
   Btw, this is just a standalone system, a personal computer, u might say.
 
 I'm not an expert, but I'm using MFS myself.  It's pretty
 easy to set up:  Add a line like this to your /etc/fstab
 file:
 
 /dev/null  /tmp  mfs  rw,nosuid,nodev,-s=204800,-m=0,-T=minimum  0  0
 
 The number behind -s= specifies the maximum size in disk
 blocks, where one block is 512 bytes.  In the above example,
 the MFS filesystem would be 100 Mbytes.  It is mounted on
 /tmp, which is the typical usage for an MFS.
 
 Pros:  Well, it's faster than a physical disk, as long as
 there is enough RAM to back up the data.  If you run out
 of RAM, the contents of the MFS are (partially) paged to
 the swap area on your harddisk, just like a normal process
 (and unlike the DOS RAMdisk driver).
 
 Cons:  If you're really low on RAM, and MFS won't do you
 any good -- quite the opposite:  It takes up valuable RAM
 which ends up being paged to disk anyway if there's not
 enough RAM left.
 
 Another disadvantage is that the contents of the MFS are
 lost when the machine reboote (obviously).  On the other
 hand it could be seen as an advantage, as the contents of
 /tmp don't have to be cleaned after a reboot.
 
 Be careful not to mount an MFS on /var/tmp, because this
 directory is expected by several tools to survive a reboot
 (for example to save vi editor sessions)!

Oliver

  What is the /dev/null component in the MFS line below?  I have seen the 
  swap slice used, but never /dev/null.  For that matter, I don't even 
  really know what that component does -- why do I need to list a device 
  for a RAM disk?  Could someone fill in my knowledge gap?

The device column isn't really used for anything when
mounting an MFS, _except_ that the mount_mfs command uses
the disklabel of that device to initialize some filesystem
configuration parameters.  It is customary to use the swap
partition, but you don't have to.  In certain situations
you cannot specify a swap partition, because you don't have
one (e.g. when you're running swapless, or when your swap
is accessed via NFS, or when you're using swap files instead
of swap partitions).  Under certain circumstances it is also
nice to be able to specify the MFS line independent of the
actual disk hardware (SCSI, APATI) and where the FreeBSD
slice and the swap partition are located.

Therefore you can use the -T option to specify a parameter
set which is used for the initialization of the MFS.  Look
at /etc/disktab for the known parameter sets.  It doesn't
really matter which one you take; the size is irrelevant
(it's specified by the -s option).  minimum is one of
them.  If you use the -T option, the device (first column
in fstab) is meaningless, so you can specify /dev/null or
whatever else you like.

I think all of that is explained in the mount_mfs(8) and
disktab(5) manual pages.

  How  do I detect a bad sector on a disk. Are there any other
  utilities that can  be  used  to  detect  such error?

most harddisk vendors have some kind of testing tool on their websites.
I know of IBM, Maxtor and Seagate having this, the others might have it,

Probably not, the error is too consistent to be the type of hardware
errors I've seen.  

Something is preventing ntpdate from setting the clock.  I know that
ntpd has a 1000 second maximum on clock adjustments, but I do not think
that ntpdate has a similar limit.   My next step would be to take
ntpdate completely out of the picture.

Try running date to set the clock to the correct time, then run date
without any parameters to see what the time is.  If you still have the
1/2 hour differential, then you have eliminated ntpdate from the mix.
If you still have the error, then I would start looking at the
clock-setting process within FreeBSD to see if that may be blocking the
adjustment for some reason.

exec gnome-session
Once Gnome 2 is working again, you can eliminate some of these.

2. Edit ~/.gnome2/default.wm to look something like this:

alternatively, edit ~/.gnome/default.wm and put the windowmanager in

I wish to keep using Gnome (I guess) but startkde seemed much simpler (as
used a few weeks ago), and KDE 2.2.2 because I couldn't figure out how to
upgrade to 3.0.1 if it wasn't a pkg_add nor a /stand/sysinstall :)

When you say open the gnome control center, can this be done from a
textual environment?  That is, I am command line only until I can figure
this out -- it is beyond me why when I run startx I get the standard
error message about my DHCP hostname and how it should be added to
/etc/hosts then one desktop wallpaper (path found in ~/.gnome/Background)
then a different one which covers that one completely then just a cursor
and nothing more.  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace!

I didn't have this default.wm file so I created one with your sample
contents above - it didn't work.  By the way, I also have a ~/.gnome2/
directory.  Does this matter?

I'll keep trying Gnome, it seems quite popular.  I just haven't found out
which windows manager(s) are most popular -- if any of them have some kind
of start button or icon in the lower left, I'm sold!  *grins*

 if you're running startx, all you need is an .xinitrc file. i typically

Symlink the two?

Re: layers and layers of windows managers

2002-09-21 Thread Peter Leftwich

Just an update for the archives, and future troubleshooters:

1. To fix this problem, make your .xinitrc look something like this.
setenv WINDOW_MANAGER metacity
metacity 
exec gnome-session
Once Gnome 2 is working again, you can eliminate some of these.

2. Edit ~/.gnome2/default.wm to look something like this:
[Default]
WM=/usr/X11R6/bin/metacity

3. Rename or remove ~/.gnome2/session and re-run startx

 Apparently. Maybe you can use sysinstall to replace your X install?
 (I've never tried, so I can't personally recommend either way.)

At this point, I'd be too worried that sysinstall would overwrite and undo
too many already-working things but it may be worth a try if I am still
nowhere in a couple days.

 If xinitrc is the only thing you're missing (it's the only thing in the
 xinit directory), have a look at the (short) attachment.

I created an xinit directory and saved your attachment to it but still no
go - just the DHCP warning, one background image, then another, then just a
cursor and no interaction.  Bleh.  I think the ~/.gnome/default.wm will be
the likely path to fixing my problems :(

Thanks for the file though!

If you really have only started to install it, forget installing 4.5.

Instead, download either the CD iso-s or floppy images for 4.6.2 and
start fresh with a new install of 4.6.2.   Then you can have the joy

actually removing the /etc/pam.d directory solved the problem..
it looks like cups installed some stuff there thinking Im on a linux box.

 Tentatively, I'd say it looks like someone installed their own (Linux?)
 version of PAM on your system in an effort to gain access.

 What does ls -l /etc/pam.conf show, and what is in /etc/pam.conf?

 Have you upgraded or installed anything at all recently?

 Also, have you kept up to date on security patches?

 What does last show?

. The file /usr/src/UPDATING contains a lot of stuff that you should

Svsup problems

2002-09-21 Thread Socketd

Hi again

I have two problems and I hope someone can help.

1. I have installed FreeBSD 4.6.2 and now want to upgrade to 
RELENG_4_6_2
I ran cvsup stable-supfile:
*default host=cvsup.dk.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_6_2
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

But all it did was delete (almost) all the files in /usr/src. So I 
tried:
cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
But still nothing.Why?

The second problem is the ports.
I have updated the ports, but I can't see all for them. I have tried 
using /stand/sysinstall and manually browsing /usr/ports, but some are 
missing...again why?

You should set the TERM environment variable to the terminal

export TERM=cons25
