blade system recommendations
I'd like to purchase a blade enclosure with SAN storage. What systems like these are recommended with FreeBSD? Please comment on: HP c-class enclosure -- will some/all of the management features work? if I use hp tools (requires compat5) and linux compat, would I get all/most functionality? Is p-class better if all the "bells and whistles" of the c-class are not available? What about Dell? Not as robust but cheaper? Does Dell blade system (PE1955) with CX300 work well? If hp c-class doesn't make sense because functionality (like manageability features) are not available, then would Dell's offering be a better choice over the hp p-class? Please feel free to recommend other blade-SAN configurations that work well under FreeBSD. Thanks!

Running Perl from a C program
Hi, I am facing a problem when running a Perl script from a C program. My C calls 2 different Perl scripts. The way to call them is completely similar. One script does a 'require "timelocal.pl";' and is working. The other try to do a 'use Email::MIME::Creator;' and is not working (whatever the module I try to load). Of course this script is working when called from the shell, so this is not a syntax error. This has to do with not being able to 'use' any module from withing a Perl script called from C. A 'require' would not work either. I know this may not be the best list for that question.

I'd like to configure their kernels so as to minimize the overhead on the VMware host system. After reading and partially digesting the white paper on timekeeping in VMware virtual machines (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf) it appears that I might want to make some changes. Has anyone addressed this issue? I haven't read the white paper (yet; thanks for the link), but I've had good results with recent -STABLE VM's running under ESX server 3. Some thoughts: As I do on most of my installs, I trimmed down GENERIC to include just the drivers I use. In this case that was mpt for the disk and le for the network (although I suspect forcing the VM to present e1000 hardware and then using the em driver would work as well if not better). The VMware tools package that comes with ESX server does a poor job of getting itself to run, but it can be made to work without too much difficulty. Don't use the port, run the included install script to install the files, ignore the custom network driver and compile the memory management module from source (included). If using X.org, use the built-in vmware display driver, and copy the vmmouse driver .o file from the VMware tools dist to the appropriate dir under /usr/X11. Even though the included file is for X.org 6.8, it works fine with 6.9/7.0 (X.org 7.1 should include the vmmouse driver.) Run the VMware tools config script from a non-X terminal (and you can ignore the warning about running it remotely if you're using SSH), so it won't mess with your X display (it doesn't do anything not accomplished above). Then run the rc.d script to start the VMware tools. I haven't noticed any timekeeping issues so far. JN ___ What is the advantage of using the "e1000 hardware", and is this documented somewhere? I got the vxn network driver working without issues; I just had to edit the .vxn file manually: I'm using the free VMware server V1 rather than the ESX server. ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet" I've got timekeeping running stably on these. I turn on time sync via vmware tools in the .vmx file: tools.syncTime = "TRUE" and in the guest file's rc.conf start ntpd with flags "-Aqgx &" so it just syncs once at boot and exits. I'm not using X on these. They're supposed to be clean & lean systems to run such things as djbdns and qmail. And they do work well. My main goal is to reduce the background load on the VMware host system so that it isn't spending more time than it has to simulating interrupt controllers for the guests.

Fortunately i could find the answer in the xorg-server source code.

If you want your program output to go to a certain vt you probably have to open the specific vt and replace the stdin and stdout file descriptors of your program with the one of the one of the vt you just opened.

ltdl library problems
I am trying to compile a program called gyachi on my freebsd 6.1 machine and am having a ton of problems. I consulted the gyachi forums but most people there are running on one flavor of linux or another, nobody has it on freebsd that i can tell, so now i am turning here. at first my configure would stop at alsa, even though i have the linux-compatible alsa programs, so then i used the --with-esd switch and now i'm getting stopped with the following error: checking for lt_dlopen in -lltdl... no configure: error: cannot find ltdl library I have libtool installed and and under /usr/local/lib i have: libltdl.a libltdl.la libltdl.so libltdl.so.4 I tried using the --with-libintl-prefix switch like so: ./configure --enable-esd --with-gnu-ld --with-libintl-prefix=/usr/local it's still not finding it, same error again. I looked in the readme for libltdl and here is what it says: /usr/local/share/libtool/libltdl]# less README This is GNU libltdl, a system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool. It supports the following dlopen interfaces: * dlopen (Solaris, Linux and various BSD flavors) * shl_load (HP-UX) * LoadLibrary (Win16 and Win32) * load_add_on (BeOS) * GNU DLD (emulates dynamic linking for static libraries) * dyld (darwin/Mac OS X) * libtool's dlpreopen Just one other note, like the fedora guys that got their's working by linking /usr/local/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h to /usr/include this does not fix the problem on my system. i get the exact same error. checking for lt_dlopen in -lltdl... no configure: error: cannot find ltdl library I'd really like to get this working if possible (and i'm sure it is) all help would be appreciated. I can submit my config.log if that would help. Thanks in advance.

Openssl 0.9.8c woes
What is up with openssl 0.9.8c? Or rather, with me installing it. :) I compiled it, installed it, and everything went seemingly well.. until I used it: (recompiled) httpd core dumps the moment it tries and load a certificate; same with stunnel, which really trips saying function are being called that really shouldn't be called (?). Apache (1.3.37), php4.4.4 and all related stuff recompiled against the new openssl (confirmed with ldd). And all seem to need: /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.4 /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.4 Which are there: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 263434 Oct 12 08:14 /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1337303 Oct 12 08:14 /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.4 Is there something in the openssl upgrade process I'm missing? Ought to be a real straghtforward process. Things have a way of not being, though. :) Thanks, - Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you don't want the Ruby docs, or are happy to use the online versions at ruby-lang.org, then you can set WITHOUT_RDOC to prevent the indexing process, or you can use NOPORTDOCS when building Ruby. There are several ways to do this, depending on what tools you use for your ports management. I would probably do something like this in /etc/make.conf: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/ruby18} WITHOUT_RDOC=1 .endif This approach seems to work, no matter what tools you use.

gif questions
In 14.10, it appears the description of setting up the VPN tunnel is built on a box directly connected to the internet. The tunnel I'm trying to design is one level back since the ISP router provides private address space host-mapped on the router. Additionally, the example shows the creation of a tunnel for a single network and I'm trying to accommodate multiples. So the questions are: 1. If one has private address host-mapped to the public IP by the ISP router, should the tunnel reference the actual interface address as in: ifconfig gif0 192.168.1.2 W.X.Y.Z ifconfig gif0 inet 192.168.2.1 192.168.3.1 netmask 0x where: 192.168.1.2 is the private address host-mapped to public via the local router W.X.Y.Z is the host mapped public address on the other end 192.168.2.1 is the backend interface of this end's server 192.168.3.1 is the remote server's backend NIC. ...or should the 192.168.1.2 be given as the resultant public IP? 2. When creating tunnels to multiple locations, is the net.link.gif.parallel_tunnels sysctl required? I was unclear if that is what's needed to have gif0, gif1 etc. or if parallel as referenced in man gif means something other than peer level tunnels. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I want to know if it is possible to _programatically_ switch to an unused virtual tty, and then use this as the display page. ( By unused I mean marked 'off' in /etc/ttys ) So if I set ttyv7 to off, can I launch a program (possibly from a cold boot) that selects tty7 ( ie the now getty-less terminal ), possibly sets the rows and cols like th ecommand line vidcontrol can, and then continues executing a curses app ? I can write the curses bit. Can I execute vidcontrol(1) via a system(3) call and make it stick after the call returns or does it only affect the environment within the call. Can I programtically do the same as Alt-F8 to preselect my screen? Will the curses output go onto this selected screen or would it go to the initial console screen?

Hmmm.I don't know all the disk codes and messages, but my practice is to be really nervous about disks and data and any time new error messages show up, just replace the disk. They are so much cheaper than the data that might get lost. Hopefully someone else can give you specific information, but that is my general perspective. jerry > > Regards, > > Justin P.

KDE uses arts for sound processing, and IIRC, doesn't play well with esd. Since I do not run KDE, I cannot advise you further on how to redirect sound in that environment.

My ~ was created with the GID corresponding to my UID, but in building KDE, comms/gnokii used pw groupadd and was allocated `my' GID, resulting in my ~ being group-owned by gnokii. More seriously, we are moving our user accounts into LDAP and I now have a problem on a server where I installed net/isc-dhcp3-server before configuring pam_ldap and nss_ldap. As a result the dhcpd user (in /etc/passwd) and one of my user accounts (in LDAP) have the same UID and GID. Disentangling these is going to be... interesting. After some digging about, I see I can effectively reserve a block of UIDs/GIDs by starting my UID numbering at (1001 + x), and creating /etc/pw.conf with reuseuids yes reusegids yes to use the UIDs/GIDs between 1000 and (1000 + x) (otherwise pw just allocates a UID/GID higher than any in use, which puts it right back in my reserved range). Perhaps I should also set the maxuid/maxgid options too, just in case? That's one option. Another is to expect dozens of busy port maintainers to cover for me by reserving UIDs/GIDs instead of creating random users. Another is to arrange somehow that the ports infrastructure provide a pw.conf which can be used when pw is called by ports, that limits the range of UIDs/GIDs that a port can be allocated so that it doesn't overlap with the range generally used for user accounts.

Initio SCSI Controller & FreeBSD 6.1 Release
Hi all, I have a number of servers that use SCSI drives. I purchased a 'Star Teck' SCSI controller (PCI Bus Connection), about a year ago. Some research shows that this controller is an 'Initio PCISCSIU2W" controller. I have found out yesterday that none of the drivers loaded in the GENERIC Kernel support this device. I tried doing some searches yesterday, and found some hacks and patches that clain to support it, but they were from FBSD 3 -4 and do not work. Somehow, the answer lies in the driver 'iha' or 'iha0' that I can't seem to find. Is there an add on device driver for this card that anyone is aware of? Answers,m advice and hints all welcome. -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You're best off directing followup questions back to freebsd-questions as you may well get answers quicker than if you just ask me! ntpd adjusts time slowly, but the -g option should make it set the time correctly when it starts from when it should keep in sync. Set --g in your ntpd_flags and then as root run sh /etc/rc.d/ntpd restart With -g it can still take a while (several minutes) before ntpd trusts its servers enough to set the time, Many people, I believe, use ntpdate to set the time once at startup and then use ntpd to keep it in sync. (Ignore the comment on the manual page for ntpdate about it being deprecated. It has said that for a long time and shows no sign of going away). I believe ntpdate will pick up servers from your ntpd.conf. The man page for ntpd has more info on how ntpd keeps the time, and also check out ntpdc which can show you what ntpd is doing (which servers it's using and stuff). When you say the time on your PC is 30 seconds different, do you mean a Windows pc? Maybe it's the one that's wrong, or maybe your local ntpd isn't finding any servers.

The display of the make was stopped on ri. In looking at top, I noted that swap file was being used heavily. This particular system was a Pentium 500Mhz with only 128M. I attributed the problem to data IO and swap IO contention. After about 4, maybe 5 hours at that one spot, it did complete. If your situation is the same, it apparently needs more memory. I performed the same steps on all my other systems which range from 512MB to 8GB. None had any problems at that step except the memory deficient system. Two of the other systems also have old IDE drives so wasn't just disk IO but a combination of swap and disk IO. My solution to avoid this in the future will be to upgrade to at least 512M on that system and increase swap to 1G spread it over two drives rather than just system disk as it is now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
