RE: SIngle User Mode Help
Thanks for the many posts guys. I understand the concept of mounting the /usr partition. Actually, the "mount -a" worked even though the fstab was mucked up. I didn't realize that single user mode doesn't mount the slices by default... but it all makes sense now.

Re: Problems (Still) Mounting CDROM
As far as your kernel is concerned there is no CDROM drive attached to it. You should see something like: atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f,0-0x3,0-0x7,0-0x3,0-0x7 irq 0 at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ... snip ... sio1: type 16550A ppc0: parallel port not found. ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device ad0: 76319MB [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM at ata1-master PIO4 ... snip ... Note that the last line identifies the CDROM. Now the most common cause of this problem is that the CDROM is set as a "SLAVE" on the ATA bus and there is no master on that bus. Or sometimes its set as Master w/Slave Present and its waiting for the slave to ack before it does. Either way, its one of (in order of likelyness): drive is mis-jumpered drive is mis-cabled drive is dead HTH --Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Getting Cut-Off
I have two machines in my loft (a FreeBSD server and a Win2k box) connected via CAT5 crossover cable. I connect to the FreeBSD machine via SSH, and use secure file transfer to upload/download from the machine. In the last week, the FreeBSD machine has dropped my connection on 3 seperate occasions. I'll queue up some work and leave the machine unattended, only to return at a later time and find that the connection has been closed. No one else has physical access to the area when this occurs; can anyone tell me what's going on or what I need to do in order to keep from being disconnected in the future? Unfortunately the file transfer client portion of SSH Secure Shell is very poor at resuming queued work, so this is starting to cause me an inconvinience. -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies l

Questions regarding Sendmail on FreeBSD
Hello everyone. I've been playing with Sendmail for a couple of weeks now and I feel pretty comfortable with it. Lately, what i've done is just download the source code for sendmail and build and compile as needed. It still works fine. However, I have some questions about how Sendmail comes setup default on a FreeBSD system. For instance, there are quite a few directories and locations of where sendmail items are located and im confused as to why everything is where it is and why there are duplicate files. For instance: mail# find / -type d -name sendmail -print /usr/libexec/sendmail /usr/share/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/include/sendmail /usr/src/etc/sendmail /usr/src/share/sendmail /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail Doing a quick scan of some of the directories: mail# ls -la /usr/share/sendmail/cf/ total 202 drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 174953 Oct 27 07:25 README drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel1024 Mar 5 04:58 cf drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 domain drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel1536 Mar 5 04:58 feature drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 hack drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 m4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 mailer drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel1024 Mar 5 04:58 ostype -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel6273 Oct 27 07:25 sendmail.schema drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 sh drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 04:58 siteconfig mail# ls -l /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/ total 604 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 321 Aug 27 2000 FAQ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel2290 Mar 29 2003 FREEBSD-upgrade -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel1952 Jun 20 2002 INSTALL -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10346 Feb 13 2003 KNOWNBUGS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel4117 Jun 20 2002 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 966 Mar 25 2002 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 57708 Mar 3 2003 PGPKEYS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 18089 Feb 13 2003 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 455225 Mar 29 2003 RELEASE_NOTES drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 cf drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel1024 Mar 5 13:24 contrib drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 doc drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 editmap drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 include drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 libmilter drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel2048 Mar 5 13:24 libsm drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 libsmdb drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 libsmutil drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 mail.local drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 mailstats drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 makemap drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 praliases drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 rmail drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 smrsh drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel1536 Mar 5 13:24 src drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 test drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 vacation mail# ls -la /usr/src/etc/sendmail/ total 18 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 5 13:24 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root wheel 2048 Mar 5 13:24 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3364 Sep 4 2003 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4144 Apr 24 2003 freebsd.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2236 Mar 29 2002 freefall.mc As you can see, there are a couple of 'cf' directories.

Accessing Oracle8i Data on a FreeBSD System
I have just been thrust in to unknown waters when it comes to data bases. I will be writing scripts which live on a FreeBSD Unix system and which will query a Pinnacle server on another host. The only oracle client for FreeBSD is oracle7-client. There is also oracle7 support in the current port of php, but nothing that says oracle8I. There is a linux distribution available on the Oracle web site called linux81701.tar, but it appears to be for those wishing to run an oracle8I server. What we are trying to do is: Receive data from the oracle data base on the Pinnacle server, process the data, and be able to set or clear flags on data we send back to the Pinnacle server. My question is what tools do I actually need under FreeBSD Unix to access the Pinnacle server's oracle8i data? We presently use freetds to do exactly this sort of thing with data in a MSsql data base on yet a different platform. The only thing I am bewildered about right now is how to or maybe whether it is possible to access the oracle8I DB? Many thanks to all.

FreeBSD scanning slides
Hi folks, I'm looking to replace an old scanner which died. It has a white light and colour scanning element and worked well enough for me to scan in negatives and slides without any special addons etc. I've been through the list at www.sane-project.org to see what might be my best low cost replacement since I'd very much like it to work with FreeBSD to reduce my depandacny on Windows, but after spending a great deal of time searching I'm find it almost impossible to identify which scanners use a white light and not that horrible RGB flashing LED thing (which I have experience of and is not suitable for transparencies. Price *is* an object, so I'm hoping some of you people may be able to suggest a suitable FreeBSD/Sane compatible scanner for me which is low in cost. Note that I'm in the UK and am prepared to search ebay.co.uk etc for second hand units.

Re: GUI-related questions.
Before I launch into my new DNS server, I thought I'd try Gnome and KDE. I still do most things in terminals, by CLI rather than GUI. Here I use ctwm and have my workspaces configured with many xterms/workspace. I've hand-coded at least three different sized xterms. Is there a way of having various sized terms in Gnome andor KDE? Well, I suppose the simplest way would be to continue using the same hand-coded xterm configurations that you are using now. If you want to use konsole or gnome-terminal, those can certainly be resized. I think they understand the same flags xterm uses. KDE will also remember the layout of your setup so that you do not need to rearrange things the next time you log in. (gnome may do that too... I am not familiar with it) Another issue is that somehow I lost libintl.so.5. What builds this library? I borrowed it from another server; it was in one of the compat libs, IIRC. devel/gettext I found it like this ... cd /var/db/pkg grep -r libintl * although there may be better ways to do that :o) The CD's I installed 5.2 from have KDE-3.1.4; for some reason the latest rev of KDE refuses to upgrade. I was using portupgrade, remotely. Any idea why 3.2.0 won't install? What was your process? Did you read this ... http://freebsd.kde.org/instructions.php ? _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

On Mar 5, 2004, at 5:57 AM, Jan Grant wrote: How did you come to this conclusion? For a RAID 5 with a single parity drive, the reason you zero the disks out completely on initialisation is to set up the integrity of the parity check. Then any update to any RAID5 with single parity requires a read of two drives (the target sector and the corresponding parity drive), an in-memory exclusive or against the new data, and two writes. Reads and writes can be in parallel. You're right, which means I came to my conclusion wrongly, I guess. :-) Part of this was because I was also thinking about how the array behaves after a failure, as you mention next: The "work" for parity updates only scales linearly with number of disks if you use a naive parity algorithm. Or, obviously, if a drive fails. Even using a non-naive :-) algorithm, RAID-5 writes still take somewhat more work than RAID-1 writes do in terms of I/O ops. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can't route one subnet across multiple network interfaces. Besides, a router always knows how to route packets between its own directly-attached networks, no additional routes are necessary. The problem here is that a route needs to be added for 192.168.10.0/24 -> 192.168.0.100 in the upstream router(s), since the upstream router(s) do not currently know to send any packets destined for 192.168.10.0/24 to 192.168.0.100 for delivery. The upstream router is currently sending these packets to its own default gateway, which is likely even further upstream. IP routers aren't mind-readers, you have to tell them exactly where to send packets, but usually that is very simple.

Well, you may have a big enough disk, but one of your file systems is not big enough or has too much garbage in it. The most likely one is the root file system (/). First use df(1) to check your mounted disk file systems df -kor df -Hif you prefer Then cd to the overrun filesystem (probably /) and use du(1) to track down what is overfilling it. Example: cd / du -sk * find three xxx.core files and /tmp using up most of the space rm *.core mkdir /home/ofl.tmp(for offload tmp) cd /tmp rm -r * cd / ln -s /home/ofl.tmp /tmp Now you should have lots of room in / Alternatively, some people use /var/tmp for their /tmp or put it wherever they have lots of space. I create a separate file system for it. That way it is independant of other file systems having to be mounted if I need scratch space while in single user mode. If it isn't core files and /tmp, then you might have to pursue the du checks a little farther down the directory trees. Remember that when you are in /, all the other file systems are rooted their. You only need investigate things that are not in the other file systems. jerry > > Thanks for your help > Jeff > > __ > Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service. > Only $9.95 a month -- Sign up today at http://isp.netscape.com/register > > Netscape.

I can ssh to the jail, but I get the following message: Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor). Thus no job control in this shell. You can use the 'fetch' command to retrieve files over ftp or http. fetch http://www.freebsd.org/index.html will download the front page of the FreeBSD web site. I figured this had something to do with my MAKEDEV problem so after re-reading the jail manpage (thanks albi) I found the following: mount_devfs devfs /usr/jail/dev Now I can ssh to the 10.0.0.203 address without problem. This is OK, but not ideal. I am wondering if there is something I need to do to set up the devfs in the jail permanantly, or do I have to run the mount_devfs command every time I start the jail. I was planning on writing a /usr/local/etc/rc.d shell script to start the jail on boot up anyway, so adding the mount command to that isn't a big deal, I was just wondering if there was another way.

fxp autoselect problem

I notice that ls -ld /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 shows: crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 149, 0x0081 Mar 5 12:49 /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 while ls -ld /dev/vmnet1 shows: crw--- 1 root wheel 226, 0x0011 Mar 5 12:01 /dev/vmnet1 I searched on the mailing lists and eventually found an old PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=48608) that seems as though it might be relevant. Any suggestions? Or am I being optimistic in thinking vmware3 will run on -CURRENT? -lewiz. P.S.

Do you include start_vinum="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf ? It is likely given information about past working, but maybe it was lost/changed? After a subdisk has crashed the data is still valid so a 'vinum start' should bring the plex back online. This will then give you full access to your filesystems. At that point you should run fsck on the vinum volumes to ensure no errors. Anytime you start in single user mode you will need to begin with a 'vinum start' command at least to get vinum going unless you load vinum in /etc/loader.conf or something. To help any further we would need some specific error details.

Since you are using one file to hold both the private key and the certificate you need to be sure it's formatted correctly *and* the private key isn't encrypted with a password (when you generated the certifiate request, you did so without a password...). cert.pem shold look like.. -BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY- MIICXgIBAAKB ... -END RSA PRIVATE KEY- Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) ... d1:81 -BEGIN CERTIFICATE- MIIEATCCA2qgAwIBAgIBCjANBgkqhkiG9... ... SNSweeFHTZfpnGjjSp9lb258gtGB -END CERTIFICATE- You may have mutiple certificate sections. The Certificate: section is only really for looks and isn't parsed. It's the BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY section that is important, or at least the part that is causing this error. -lee ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you are using hardware raid5 for each disk set and it cannot do raid0 on top you could look at using software raid0 to join the two hardware sets. Eg vinum can do raid0 in software over raid5 in hardware. If you are doing this purely in software it will depend on what software you use. If using vinum I believe you can only mirror across two (or more) raid5 plexes, so probably not what you want to do. If you want more specific solutions you will need to advise your hardware and software details including FreeBSD version.

Well I spent about 3 hours yesterday afternoon filling in package names to pkgdb -F's prompts, and I still can't get portupfrade to work :-) What do I need to delete to just start from scratch, and build this by had?

Qpopper & SSL
Hi! Want to get Qpopper to work with SSL on a FreeBSD 4.9. I have followed the instruction at various sites about how this should be done including eudora.com/qpopper. I have also followed alot of instructions on how to make a cert-file (cert.pem) from a .key and .crt file. That includes openssh.org. I cannot get it to work anyway. --> I must be missing something?!? <-- I am reciving the errors below in my log files.

Today I did't experiment on {rt|id}prio(1), just to be interesting. I am
trying to understand FreeBSD priority mechenism. IMHO realtime/idle

To test, I run mpg321 on realtime priority 3, run ppp on realtime
priority
4, a little lower than mpg321, and scp over the ppp tunnel on normal
priority.
Top(1) shows an average about:
55.2% user, 0.0% nice, 21.5% system, 12.2% interrupt, 11.1% idle
* mpg321 takes average about 70%;
* ppp is seriously slowed down, it takes about 1.5% (normally 17% on full
speed);
* sshd almost starves; it takes 0.00% (normally 2%) and only transfer
several bytes once several minutes; the otherside scp prompts "stalled".
sshd doesn't starve CPU, I guess; as you reach it through ppp, and ppp
gets slow, sshd does, too.
I'm the kind of newbie think 11.1% idle cpu time to be free cpu resource,
because I don't have idle process. I wish to know why, as there are still
11.1% free cpu resource, ppp and sshd doesn't get this share?
The most frequent cause is that they don't need the CPU so much as
something else, like disk I/O, etc. Could you please post the whole
output of top (and a snapshot of systat -vmstat, for example)?
