version.
Unfortunately this freebsd 4.9 system is also required to serve SVN 
so I must keep apache 2.
So can I get both apaches working on the same system? Or perhaps 
someone has some advice about getting squirrelmail working with 
apache 2.
Doesn't squirrelmail require some IMAP version or another?
Do you mean that SM requires some IMAP library or something?  That is a 
negative if that is what you mean.  They implemented it themselves and 
don't rely on an external IMAP library

Re: FreeBSD

[Subhro]

As far as I know, FreeBSD, although does have a development and a
maintainance team, it is much loosely coupled. Anyone may join the
team if they contribute something which the development team thinks to
be worthwhile to be included into the FreeBSD project. So like M$ and
similar concerns, you won't find a very OFFICAL person. However if you
ask your questions in the list, I believe the knowledgable people here
would surely answer.

S.

Re: newest PHP port upgrade broke php5-mbstring-5.0.1 ?

[Subhro]

Really fishy. I can't see anything wrong. Did you cvsup your ports
tree with ports-all? If not then I would recommend to do so and then
try the upgrade. And do not forget to do a "make clean" without "s
before starting to build. If that also fails then try to run
portupgrade -a on the updated ports tree and then try to rebuild php.

Re: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop

[Cristi Tauber]

   Hello there,
i have the same problem with an older Toshiba Satellite version (4090 CDS). I
ignore the error, just like you said, i go to install a windows manager, i choose
GNOME, press enter to install but it does nothing, same thing happens with any
manager i choose. Since it was a fresh instalation of 5.2.1 i started again (i
thought i misseg someting) and after install base system i choose to install GNOME
and KDE ... and after install ... the X server failed like the previous attempts
with the error just like Vaughan Moore's. I mention that Slackware 10.0 with Gnome
2.6 runs smoothly.

Re: KlamAV on FreeBSD...

[Mike Hauber]

Thanks all for the replies...

The reason I'm looking for something to run under a GUI is 
that I've set up a network at my folks house which includes 
a FreeBSD box running Samba.  My Dad isn't comfortable with 
a command prompt yet, but he's interested in poking around 
to see what FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) can do (After so many 
times of having to go over there to fix windows, I couldn't 
help but spread some of my cheery Gospel.  :) ).

I figured the best way to get him introduced was to set him 
up with KDE.  So he's asked me about a virus scanner, and 
because there are three win machines on the LAN sharing the 
SMB resources, I figured it would be cool if the virus 
scanner was on the server.  It's not for scanning email, 
and I understand what was said about it being for windows 
viruses (actually, that's the idea).  I just figured that 
if the scanner was on a FreeBSD machine, then a virus 
wouldn't have a chance at screwing it up (I assume, while 
the backup Cd's are still smoldering).

I've thought about setting it up to run in the background 
and relay an email to me if it finds something so that I 
can ssh my way in without having to make a house call.  
Then again, it wouldn't be encouraging him to get his hands 
dirty.

I guess the best thing would be for me to get busy and 
improve my programing skills so I can get stuff like this 
to work.  Who knows?  Maybe it will be good enough for the 
ports tree.  :)

Thanks again.

Mike


PS...  I've only skimmed through the man pages, but I seem 
to remember something about it not being able to remove a 
virus from within an archive (although it can scan within 
the archive)?  I could be wrong, though (sounded pretty 
cheesy, but I was more intereseted in a mention of 
available frontends).  I played with it for a little while 
but uninstalled it after exhausing my search.

4-stable termios diff behaviour lc/lc_r

[Tijl Coosemans]

Hi list,

I think I've found a possible bug in 4-stable, though I'm not that
kind of an expert so I'll leave that decision up to you.

Attached is a little test program that opens /dev/cuaa0 and tries to
read 4 bytes.

When compiled using "gcc vtime.c -o vtime" there's no problem. For
example, when you run vtime without anything attached to cuaa0, it'll
wait about 2 seconds and timeout, since VMIN=0 and VTIME=20.

When compiled using "gcc -pthread vtime.c -o vtime" however, the read
function returns immediately, which as far as I can understand, is not
what it's supposed to do.

Does anyone know if this intended or not, or how I can get the right
behaviour in a threaded program?

RE: simultaneous apache 1.3x & 2.x

[Scott Stahl]

You can run multiple instances of Apache on your machine but they cannot all
use port 80 which is standard.  I would recommend using a higher port for
your Squirrelmail, something like 8081 or better yet use https.  

Honestly though I would stay away from Apache 2 all togeither as Apache
1.3.x is still the standard.

Scott.

Subject: simultaneous apache 1.3x & 2.x

I'm trying to install squirrelmail, but it seems that PHP + apache 2 +
squirrelmail doesn't go. I tried and although the install proceeds I get
  crashes in PHP.

PHP appears to deprecate apache 2 at present and looking at the squirrelmail
requirements it seems that apache 1.3 is the natural version.

Unfortunately this freebsd 4.9 system is also required to serve SVN so I
must keep apache 2.

So can I get both apaches working on the same system? Or perhaps someone has
some advice about getting squirrelmail working with apache 2.

Don't you need to use ntp.keys in order to synch to a broadcast or
multicast server?

See ntp.conf(5):

 broadcastclient
 This command enables reception of broadcast server messages to
 any local interface (type b) address.  Upon receiving a message
 for the first time, the broadcast client measures the nominal
 server propagation delay using a brief client/server exchange
 with the server, then enters the broadcast client mode, in which
 it synchronizes to succeeding broadcast messages.  Note that, in
 order to avoid accidental or malicious disruption in this mode,
 both the server and client should operate using symmetric-key or
 public-key authentication as described in Authentication Options.

Cheers,

Matthew

If I were you I'd download a 5.2.1 iso and start again. 5.0 is a sort of 
first-cut beta version of the 5.x line which becomes officially stable 
with 5.3 in about a month.

Re: how to get ndis support working in freebsd

[Phil Schulz]

Sanjay Makadia wrote:
Hi,
I am newbie as far as freebsd is concerned.  I installed the latest
version of freebsd 5.2.1 last week and to make my wireless card to
work i need ndis wrapper.  I searched for it on the web and found the
necessary drivers.  I searched for ndis on my system but it seems like
its not there.  Do i have rebuild the kernel with some flags to
install ndis or can i just get source for ndis and install it?  Any
help is highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Hi,
 "Project Evil" aka NDISulator does not come with 5.2.1-Release. 
However, you can install it on 5.2.1-Release by following these 
instructions.
 You need to have the system's sources installed locally. In addition, 
you will have to download the NDISulator sources. You can either 
download them from CVSweb, by using CVSup or by using AnonCVS. I chose 
to use AnonCVS.
 Pick an AnonCVS mirror close to you from the list at [1]. I live in 
Germany, but since none of the two German mirrors work for me atm, I 
chose anoncvs.at.FreeBSD.org which is located in Austria. Set your 
CVSROOT environment variable so it fits the server you chose. I issued 
the following commands:

  $ su
  Password:
  # setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
 I used 'su' b/c you need write permissions on the source tree to check 
out the NDISulator sources.
 Now you will need to login to the CVS server.

  # cvs login
  Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/ncvs
  CVS password:
 You can find the password listed at [1]. Now you need to check out the 
sources for NDISulator. The directories you need to check out are

  sys/compat/ndis
  sys/dev/if_ndis
  usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  sys/modules/if_ndis
  sys/modules/ndis
Use the following command to do so (and make sure you're in /usr/src):
  # pwd
  /usr/src
  mars# cvs checkout sys/compat/ndis sys/dev/if_ndis usr.sbin/ndiscvt \
  sys/modules/if_ndis sys/modules/ndis
  [CVS output snipped]
 First you should build ndiscvt(8) by doing
  # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  # make
  [compile output snipped]
  # make install
  install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   ndiscvt /usr/sbin
  install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ndiscvt.8.gz  /usr/share/man/man8
  # rehash
 Now you can build the first module by doing:
  # cd /sys/modules/ndis/
  # make
  # make load
  /sbin/kldload -v /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko
  Loaded /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko, id=4
 Finally you need to build the if_ndis module. This requires that you 
have got the drivers for your NIC availeable.

  # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
  # ndiscvt -i /path/to/driver.inf -s /path/to/driver.sys \
  -o ndis_driver_data.h

Depending on your interface the output might look differently, but if 
ndis0 is there, you know that compiling and loading "Project Evil" worked.
 Hope this helps.

CUPS not initialising USB printer correctly?

[Ian Moore]

Hi,
I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years. My 
old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *very* 
slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found 
it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints 
garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer & restart 
CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's 
right, it stays that way until I switch my computer off.
I've tried starting the computer with the printer on & with it off (which

I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometimes.

It depends how much more than the base system sysinstall added, for 
example since you don't mention building Xfree86, I assume sysinstall 
would have added it from packages on the CD. Also cvsup itself  has gui 
dependencies and they would also have been installed before cvsup was 
run.

I'm not saying it will fix your problem, but  installing a new port on 
top of up-to-date dependencies, in general, gives you a better chance 
of a clean install - particularly with complex metaports like kde.

In general I've found KDE to be much easier to maintain from ports than 
Gnome. Whenever I've had a problem, a simple solution has appeared 
within a few days in UPDATING or at freebsd.kde.org

No, I recompiled the kernel a couple of times, most recently to remove

Subject: simultaneous apache 1.3x & 2.x
I'm trying to install squirrelmail, but it seems that PHP + apache 2 +
squirrelmail doesn't go. I tried and although the install proceeds I 
get
  crashes in PHP.

PHP appears to deprecate apache 2 at present and looking at the 
squirrelmail
requirements it seems that apache 1.3 is the natural version.

Unfortunately this freebsd 4.9 system is also required to serve SVN so 
I
must keep apache 2.

So can I get both apaches working on the same system? Or perhaps 
someone has
some advice about getting squirrelmail working with apache 2.

Yeah that's what started this.  I'm using the exact same setup I
always do, but the most recent cvsup of all ports, and then
portupgrade of my ports-tree is what brought PHP and all of its
extensions from PHP 5.0.0 to PHP 5.0.1

Doing so seems to have broken the mbstring regex component.

I did, after posting here, go back and rebuild php5-mbstring WITHOUT
the regex option and it PHP works without error again -- but without
mbstring regex.

Since FreeBSD is all I have to test with, I don't know if this is a
FreeBSD error or a PHP error.

Yeah, I've got a Intellimouse Explorer with the "tilt" wheel and it doesn't 
work correctly with USB so I just use the PS/2 adapter.  I'm not sure if it's 
our usb code, or the mouse is "slightly" non standard, but I made a small 
hack to get it working, but the mouse then is unreliable and misses clicks.  
I'm working on a NetBSD import of the USB code, but it'll be a while and I 
don't know if it will even fix this.

hello falko,

just for the sake of completeness, you may also want to consider
contacting:

http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/   <-- contact info on site

as regards freebsd.org itself, it would appear that the the 'Public
Relations & Corporate Liaison' seat is currently unfilled.  see:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributors/staff-who.html

hopefully, someone from questions@ will be able to point you in the right
direction (or simply step forward) as regards locating a freebsd.org
representative.

i suspect that providing a little additional information regarding
your thesis would help to narrow down list of suitable individuals.  for
example, what is your thesis statement?  what area of freebsd/opensource 
will your questions be targeting?


hope this helps,

I tried configuring one of these things for FreeBSD. The web page

didn't work. (Even had a bit on UK connections - I'm in the UK.) I never

There isn't anything that simple, but munging the output of ifconfig is what
you want.  This assumes that your box only has one IP address (other than
localhost):

# ifconfig -a | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk ' { print $2 } '
192.168.0.4

[fbsd_user]

I used an old ms/windows 98 PC to install 5.3 beta1 as a dual
bootable system. During the 5.3 install I created the boot manager.
After the basic install I was able to boot 5.3 but did not test boot
win98. I then did a 5.3 kernel recompile and booted the kernel. I
then tried to boot win98 by pressing F1 key and the boot process
just hangs. Rebooting and pressing F2 key for 5.3 also now hangs.

Question = Is there any way to fix this problem without killing the
win98 partition? I was thinking of installing this weeks 5.3 beta2
to see if that would correct the problem. Any suggestions sure would
help.

Thanks

I got apache2/courier-imap/php4/squirrelmail running ok on my FreeBSD
5.2.1 system. I did it all from ports and it seemed to work ok (just a
test system that has no real load and gets destroyed every few days
when I get an urge for something new - it's already gone as i write
this).

the lang/php4 port allowed me to set WITH_APACHE2=yes (I guess php5
would too ...) in make.conf and that made things happier.

sorry if this is way off ... it worked for me but i may have bumbled
into it  ...

Re: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop

seems to have failed.  Would you like to try again?"  Obviously, this is a
bit frustrating.
 

Sounds like it.  Wonder why?  Are you running the program with root
privileges?  (You should be...)
Here are what I think are the valid parts of the XF86Config file, but I may
be missing something - please let me know.
InputDevice
Driver = "mouse"
Option = "Protocol" "Auto"
Option = "Device" "/dev/sysmous"
InputDevice
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "Skbmode1" "pc101" (note: my laptop only has 85 keys"
Option "XkbLayout "us"
Monitor
HorizSync 31.5-31.5
VertRefresh 50.0-70.0
Card
Driver "s3"
VendorName "S3 Inc."
BoardName "86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV"
ChipSet "SuperSavage/IX64"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen
Default Depth 8
Display Depth 1
Display Depth 4
Display Depth 8
Modes "640x480"
Display Depth 15
Display Depth 16
Display Depth 24
My main questions are:
1) The Toshiba documentation and Web site do not tell me what my internal
monitor's horizontal sync or vertical refresh rate is. (although it does
give me refresh rates for an external monitor - 60/75/85 @16M colors).  Is
there a place I can go to find this information?
 

Well, this is pretty common.  Many desktop monitors don't give such
information, either, and you either Google for it or guess, usually.  What
happens if you call "startx", or have you?
2) Are there other obvious reasons the configuration would fail other than
the monitor?
 

The most obvious one I can think of is that, IIRC, the driver for the
Savage chipsets is "savage", not "s3".  But I could be wrong; can't
remember ever trying X with the "savage" driver.  Have you tried the
"vesa" driver?  Might do something for ya...
Secondly, your Horizontal sync range isn't a range.  Perhaps opening
that up a bit would allow you to try it out.
Certainly there could be other issues as well.  I mentioned permissions
above, for one.  If you have the above in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config, if you
run "startx" you should get either a server running or some error output
in /var/log that might help...OTOH, I've never set up X on any laptop; I
don't know if it's unsafe to try with a relatively untested config 
file.  But
the values look sane enough for a CRT display ...


3) Are there any sites I can visit for more info?
 

XFree's site at xfree86.org; the FreeBSD handbook at 
www.freebsd.org/handbook
come to mind.

Thanks so much!
 

You are welcome.

Also, did I post this to the right list?  If not, please let me know where
it should go.
 

Works for me.

Did you mean a 4260dvd?  I cannot find anything on a 4620dvd.

If you had a slight case of dyslexia or maybe a little fat fingering, :o) I may 
be of some help. I have FreeBSD 5.3Beta1 loaded on a HP Pavillion N5310.

I checked the specs on the Toshiba Pro 4260dvd (attached pdf) and it has the 
same video driver as my HP. i.e. s3 Savage IX.

So, FWIW, Here are the important bits from my xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
HorizSync   31.5 - 80
VertRefresh 55 - 61

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver  "savage"
VendorName  "S3 Inc."
BoardName   "86c270-294 Savage/IX-MV"
BusID   "PCI:1:1:0"


Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth24

SubSection  "Display"
Viewport0 0
Depth   24
Modes   "1024x768"  "800x600"
>


I really hope this helps. At one time I had either Lindows (Linspire) or SuSE
loaded on this computer. That is where I found the horizontal and vertical data.

Plagarize whenever you can!

You might also try pciconf -lv to see if your board name and bus id are correct.

Best of luck

Re: Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 USB + FreeBSD 5.2.1 + PPPoE -- a nightmare!

Yes, tell me about the instructions that don't work. I could only get a
response from the PPPoE server 7 hours later.. just to get stuck on: Too
many LCP requests sent - abandoning negotiation.

It would be nice if some PPP guru could explain what that error means
(apart from too many LCP requests have been sent, and the driver is
abandoning the negotiation)

Any feedback is VERY MUCH welcome :-)

Problems compiling Gtk code

[Fernando Gleiser]

I'm trying to build a GIMP pluging for RAW files. There isn't a port for
it and the plugin suffers from the "All the world's Linux" disease.

The plugin doesn't use autoconf or anything similar, just the makefile
and a .c file. So far I could make it compile by adding the
corresponding -I flags to gcc (this isn't redhat where everything
goes under /usr/include/ :) ), but when I try to link it it fails miserably
with a  lot of messages about undefined references:

Somehow I don't think that's going to solve my problem.  After adding
the following line to loader.conf:
hw.ata.ata_dma=0
the machine just freezes up while trying to mount the root partition.

I managed to boot to an old kernel and fix that problem.

Re: recover HD boot mbr

[Subhro]

Boot up the box using a recovery disk, err I guess its called a
startup floppy in the M$ world, and run at command prompt
fdisk /mbr
It would warn about non standard MBR and stuff but go through it. You
should be able to boot back into Win98.

But coming back to the FreeBSD Issue, If you have got two partitions
(as you stated) you should not be having any "F2". Could you just
double check?

Re: AARRRGGHHH! (was Re: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA errors in security output)

[Subhro]

Although highly unlikely, but could you check your BIOS and enable DMA
if there is any setting for it? Alternatively, old BIOSses are really
messy about handling New hard drives. So reflashing the BIOS is also a
good option if your mo'bo manufacturer offers something new. Also you
did not indicate what type of cable you are using, ie 40 conductor or
80 conductor.

Install freeze

[calebsbc]

Hi sorry to bother anyone, but I have looked high and low for about 4
days trying to find a solution to this problem with no avail.

I have a Toshiba Dynabook v4/410pmew Japanese model.(I lived in Japan
for 2 years)
And I am trying to install FreeBSD. I have tried many other dist of
Linux but have always wanted to give FreeBSD a shot.

Any way I put in the install iso and it goes to the boot screen and then
after it starts the boot it starts to check the hardware config, normal
stuff right. And then nothing it gets to the usb0 and says legacy USB
device(or something) and freeze.
I can't type nothing no ctl+alt+del nothing. I tired disable the USB
module to see If that was a problem but no go. I am not a complete
n00bie but I am stumped I even tried booting with another Linux disc to
see if I can do the install through a command prompt but I don't know
enough about Linux or FreeBSD to do that.

So any suggestions?

Any help would be really great

Thanks.

Is Courier-IMAP working for you? Have you tested with another client
like Mozilla?

Did you run the 'configure' script in the Squirrelmail directory to
set things up?

MAXDSIZ and MAXSIZ

[Dennis George]

I was going through the following post to understand MAXDSIZ and MAXSSIZ...
Its really a helpfull post...
 
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=83003+0+archive/2002/freebsd-hackers/20020804.freebsd-hackers
 
But I have a doubt about this... Is the MAXDSIZ the offset  or its the actual 
size From the diagram explained in the above link. Where can I fit MAXSSIZ in 
the diagram. If its a offset 
 
And one more thing Does the Kernel occupies 1GB of VM  as depicted by the

protocol priority

[i18rabbit]

with FreeBSD 4.10 functioning as a 'ppp -nat' LAN server,
is there anyway to prioritize the processing of protocols?

for example, i am grabbing nntp data, and i want it at a much
lower priority than http data - when i use my browser, i want
to see a 90/10 ratio of http/nntp packets in tcpdump on the
LAN server.  i never heard of this being done, but it would
be nice.  running 'nice' on a client doesn't seem to change
anything so far as this goes.

please copy any replies off the maillist, thank you.

Thanks Matthew for your reply.

My 'man ntpd' page gives the -A option to turn off authentication:

-A Disable authentication mode

(http://www.Google.com/search?q=%22-A+Disable+authentication+mode%22)

As far as I can tell, there is no way to enable authentication
using Tardis.  I was hoping that there would be a simple solution
utilizing Tardis, since it works great on Windows.

Which disk is which

[John Summerfield]

I've booted a 5.2.1 miniinstall CD and got to the point where I choose which 
disk to install onto.

My choices are
ad0
da0

Great. How do I know which disk is which? _I_ could work it out if the panel 
displayed information such as
Brand
Capacity

Note: DOS names would be worse than useless because I don't use DOS, and the 
BIOS doesn't detect all my drives.

The website doesn't help.

I'm not on any list. Please respond by
a) Fixing the web page
b) Mailing me the necessary info (eg the fixed page when it's done) in case I 
can't discover by other means which is which.

You really need to provide what OS you are using. For example, there is an

Your failure looks like one of those.

Re: Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 USB + FreeBSD 5.2.1 + PPPoE -- a nightmare!

[stheg olloydson]

it was said:

>It would be nice if some PPP guru could explain what that error means
>(apart from too many LCP requests have been sent, and the driver is
>abandoning the negotiation)



Hello,

I must correct my earlier post. Your having both pap and chap enabled
may not be why your connection attempts are failing. From RFC 1661:

In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each
   end of the PPP link MUST first send LCP packets to configure and
test
   the data link.  After the link has been established, the peer MAY be
   authenticated.

   
Because your problem seems to exist in establishing the link,
authentication may not even enter into it.

As to your new question, what does, "Too many LCP REQs sent." mean, the
message indicates that for some reason the LCP negotiation between your
friend's computer than the ISP's NAS did not succeed during the
permitted number of attempts. The reason for that is almost certainly
due to a misconfiguration on your end. 
Determining what the particular misconfiguration is requires examining
the relevant config and log files. You may find the following
documentation of assistance: RFCs 1661 (PPP), 1334 (PAP), 1994 (CHAP),
2516 (PPPoE), in addition to man ppp(8) and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html
(URL may have wrapped). The source code of PPP and Netgraph may also be
revealing, but I'm not a C/C++ person, so I don't know for sure.

HTH,

Re: ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

Thanks Harlan for your reply.

Why the ntp-dev?

>From what Danny Mayer says, there was a 
broadcastclient bug that was fixed for -Nix
on 2004 March 25:
http://Bugzilla.NTP.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267

According to this listing:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/

there is a 'stable' version as new as 2004 Jun 17.
I am looking for a simple and reliable solution
to use my existing NTP broadcasts (using Tardis)
to synch up my FreeBSD box.  Using a 'development'
version implies that it hasn't been certified to
be used in a production environment, correct?

Thanks for this procedure list.  I actually did
the following:

# cd /usr/ports/net/ntp/
# make deinstall

(went to /etc/rc.conf and commmented out lines concerning NTP,
then rebooted to disallow the ntpd program from running)

# mkdir ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617
cd /usr/ports/distfiles/
#ftp
ftp> open ftp.starhub.net.sg
ftp> cd /pub/funet/unix/tcpip/ntp/xntp/udel/ntp4/

ftp> exit
# cp -p ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gz
/usr/ports/net/ntp/ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617/
# cd /usr/ports/net/ntp/ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617/
# tar xvzf ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gz
# mkdir A.x# Why 'A.x'?  Would 'temp' work?
# cd A.x
# ../configure
# make
# make install

The 'make install' seemed to go smoothly , but
I cannot find the new executables for NTP.  The 
old ones from 2003 Oct 27 are still in /usr/sbin/.

When I try to find any files modified in the
past day and run:

find ./ -name "*.*" -mtime 1

I don't find 'ntpd' or any other new NTP
related executables.  Does anyone know why 
I can't find the executables, and why the old 
ones are still here?  Where should the new
ones be?

Right.  This is what I have been using in rc.conf:

xntpd_enable="YES"
xntpd_flags="-A -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -l
/var/log/ntpd.log"

Well, I am sure it should be, but I can't find a 
clear, step-by-step procedure for it.  ;^)

Again, Tardis does not have the option for
authentication--as far as I know.

Well, I thought it would be just a simple matter
to get my FreeBSD box to listen to the existing
Tardis NTP broadcasts.  I was hoping to avoid
all the complications of setting up NTP on 
a FreeBSD box to duplicate what Tardis is already
doing.

As an aside, I am very dissapointed that that
there isn't more clear and simple documentation
for FreeBSD/Unix software.  I've found 'man'
pages to be almost useless.  They rarely give
examples, and when they do, they are extremely
complicated.  Criminy, why make it easy for
Bill Gates to keep his stranglehold?

Re: ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

[Harlan Stenn]

The ntp-stable tarballs are curently less-complete (less up-to-date) than
the ntp-dev tarballs.

I suspect Danny's patches have only been applied to ntp-dev, but
depending on when I last pulled ntp-dev back to -stable some of them
might be there.

Basically, we run ntp-dev all over and are expecting very few changes
between ntp-dev and what will become ntp-4.2.1.

We know that broadcasts work with networks that use ntpd.  I have no idea
what tardis is doing.  The fact that they apparently do not support any
authentication mechanism for broadcasts is troubling.

As for the documentation, this is a volunteer project.  There are at least
three documentation channels:

- the official pages (submit your ideas to Dave)
- the FAQ (submit your ideas to Ulrich)
- the twiki (edit/add pages as you see fit)

If you post improved documentation to the newsgroup and you post
permission to have your information used in the twiki, there is a chance
somebody will see it and also copy it there.  In general, I do not
copy content from the newsgroup to the twiki without explicit permission.

Re: Which disk is which

[Subhro]

What do u mean by difference?

The device ad represents a IDE/ATA disk and the da device represents a
SCSI disk. As you have got one IDE hard disk and one SCSI hard disk in
your box, its showing up as ad0 and da0. But as you say that there is
no SCSI in that box, then something seems to be wrong. Check your BIOS
and disable any onboard SCSI controllers if present

Right you are!

Why is that?  Shouldn't there be a compiler directive
for FreeBSD that puts them in /usr/sbin/ ?  I believe
that is where FreeBSD expects them to be.

Better to follow the FreeBSD convention and leave them in /usr/local.

Change xntpd_program in /etc/rc.conf .
