Hi, Can someone give me the correct settings to configure an att/sbcglobal 2wire 1800 gateway(it's a modem, router/gateway)to work with FreeBSD? I have been told my other users of FreeBSD that this router/gateway does work with FreeBSD. (Freebsd 6.3). However, the values given to me by att techs have not worked.

You would want to check the following: - Your computer's IP address / subnet mask - Your router's IP address / subnet mask (and whether they are in the same subnet with the PC). If you are not sure of the router's IP, most of them have a reset hole you can use to return it to factory settings. Have a look at the manual to see the defaults if you are not sure. When you verify these, you should be able to ping the router from your terminal. Then it is simply a matter of entering the web interface of the router and provide a set of credentials and maybe a few more settings (like PPPoE or PPPoA and so on). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Granted, you could change every command to enforce thinking time (to take this to the absurd, you could arrange that if you hit Enter less than five seconds after another key, the shell would give you a ``stop and think'' warning). It's safer just to develop the habit yourself. I recently saw a colleague take an install CD, put it into a machine, and power-cycle the box to start the install. I can't think of a technical measure that would have enforced thinking time on him. (And yes, it was the wrong box. Five seconds of thought would have saved five weeks of work).

Re: Wireless net Card
Which Belkin wireless card do you have? Which arch are you running (i386/amd64)? I had horrific trouble with a Belkin on the Realtek chipset, played up with Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Fedora, even Windows! Trouble with Belkin is, you never know what you're getting. You need the revision number of the card, and then find out which chipset it is. Make sure the drivers you downloaded are for that exact revision. Hope you have more luck than I did, I tossed mine and bought a Ralink.

Re: problems with a C script, exiting with signal 10
Hi,
i've been trying to debug what you suggested, but no luck so far :(
The thing is that i checked out all the calls to arrays, space handling
and so on, and i couldn't find anything wrong.
After that, i ended up trying the hard way, which is to keep a file
/tmp/debug.log where the script writes everything that it does. So...
the problem was that even in those cases when postfix logged a signal
10 error, the logs showed that the C script got to the end of the file,
it executed every single line, it doesn't get stuck manipulating arrays
or anything like that.
any idea?
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, i will have a close look at what you suggested.
The thing is that, yes, i work with arrays, pointers, mallocs and so
on. I'll try to make sure everything is initiliazed properly before
being used.
Thanks for the advice.
En/na Patrick Mahan ha escrit:

Hi,
I've got this home-made script, written in C, on a Freebsd 7.0
server with different versions of postfix: 2.3,2,4 and 2.5
The problem is that, while most of the time it works like a charm,
sometimes it crashes and bounces the message. It's not really a big
deal, cause the sender gets notified that their mail wasn't
delivered and hopefully, they will resend it. However, the problem
is that I've tried to debug my script but found nothing wrong at
all, cause it only fails from time to time, let's say... once for
each 2000 messages that postfix receives, and it appears to do so in
a random way.
As i said... postfix can fail to deliver a message to one particular
mailbox, but if then you resend the very same message to the very
same mailbox, it will be delivered.
The error is reported in both maillog and messages, like this:
**/var/log/maillog
Aug 7 01:55:19 mail01 postfix/pipe[27534]: 3E1A0143709:
to=EMAIL_ACCOUNT, relay=quota_postfix, delay=0.23,
delays=0.11/0/0/0.11, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with

*/var/log/messages***
Aug 7 01:55:19 mail01 kernel: pid 29535 (quota_postfix), uid 125:
exited on signal 10
Well signal 10 is SIGBUS which is indicative of (generally) a bad
address,
non-aligned memory address (on platforms it matters) or a hardware
error.
I would look for places you are dereferencing a pointer without perhaps
first validating it.
Given that it rarely occurs, I might suspect that you are allocating
some
memory, but failing to completely initialize (malloc() doesn't zero out
memory) it or assuming it is already initialize.
Good luck,
Patrick
Here you have some extra information about the script itself and the
master.cf

# ls -la /usr/local/etc/postfix/quota_postfix
-rwsr-xr-x 1 postfix postfix 20048 Aug 4 10:18
/usr/local/etc/postfix/quota_postfix
It's got de suid flag cause it performs a du command and other
file operations which need permissions, although i've tried with
other groups of permissions and it eventually crashes anyway with
signal 10
**master.cf*
.

So far, any program which crashed would leave a .core file in
/usr/crash, but this one is not doing the same, so... i can't
actually debug from the core file either.
Sysctl in my FreeBSD server is ok, but i guess that postfix, somehow
is preventing this filter from generating a core file. Is that
possible? Or am i completely wrong?
How could I, at least, generate the .core file?
Thanks.

Changing 'From:' address of periodic scripts
Hiya I set up a remote box to e-mail 'periodic' output to me directly. It has now stopped working, and I suspect it's because the 'From:' addresses of the status e-mails is of the form '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and the ISP has upped its anti-spam checks. I see /usr/sbin/periodic itself uses the 'mail' command to send the mails, but I couldn't see a command line option to specify a 'From:'. I guess 'mail' uses 'sendmail' to send e-mail; is there a simple way of forcing a 'From:' address via 'sendmail' config?

Re: A few questions from a current linux user
First of all, let me thank everyone who has responded to my questions on this mailing list. Hi Giorgos, I've been meaning to respond to this post for a couple of days, but it took me a little longer than I originally hoped... Thank you for taking time to write a detailed response. This may be totally unrelated to the real question, but doesn't Fedora use pre-compiled packages by default? I thought that was pretty much the One True Way(TM) of updating Fedora systems. Yes it is. I have friends who are happy doing dist-upgrades with one command. But I have been using Fedora from the beginning and I have had a few bad experiences with distribution upgrades leaving me to spend more time fixing the problems. I have decided not to risk upgrades after Fedora Core 4 and two years down the line I think it is a good decision with a few side effects, mainly keeping pace with newer versions of packages of interest. 1) Is a feature similar to magic SysRq in linux necessary for FreeBSD? (As I understand there is no such feature in FreeBSD) Not really. SysRq has a few nice characteristics, i.e. it can unmount local filesystems gracefully to avoid `fsck' runs during the next boot. It's a nice, handy tool in some cases. But it also comes at a cost: it modifies the in-memory state of the running kernel. FreeBSD has a kernel debugger that can be enabled, called DDB. When the kernel locks up or panics because something bogus happened, the DDB can dump the state of the kernel into a preconfigured swap area, and the startup scripts of the next boot will pick up the kernel coredump from swap, save it in `/var/crash', and let you run post-mortem analysis on the kernel core dump. If this is combined with something like SysRq, and there's really a bug in the parts of the kernel that SysRq has to use to perform its final steps, you lose. You may be modifying the parts of the kernel memory that actually exhibit the bug, and make the kernel dump unusable. Should one risk losing the data or should one be able to debug reliably? I think letting the user decide on this option is a better solution than not implementing SysRq at all. But after reading the mailing lists, I got a feeling that most experienced FreeBSD users don't really need the SysRq feature. However I still don't understand how the data is safe even if one enables SoftUpdate with disk caching disabled. 2) Is it possible to compile multiple versions of gcc? If so what is the best way to do it? Yes, of course. The base system of FreeBSD includes _one_ version of gcc, installed as `/usr/bin/gcc', but this does not mean that you are limited to *that* version only. You can use the Ports tree to install one or more versions. The snapshot of Ports I have on the laptop I am using to type this includes 12 different gcc ports (and that does not include the Fortran, Objective C, or Java backends GCC supports): # pwd /usr/ports/lang # ls -ld gcc* | nl 1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc-ooo 2 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc28 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc295 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc32 5 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 22 05:03 gcc33 6 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 29 04:46 gcc34 7 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc41 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc41-withgcjawt 9 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 22 05:03 gcc42 10 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 17 03:01 gcc42-withgcjawt 11 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Jul 29 04:46 gcc43 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel - 512 Aug 7 02:25 gcc44 # So yes, you can install several different versions of GCC at the same time. So I believe each gcc port keeps track of various dependencies and their versions for a chosen gcc version. However if I need gcc40 (lets say, not available from ports) or if I need to enable certain features that ports disable then I guess I am on my own in that there are no guarantees that it will compile. 3) Is it possible to perform a binary update from one release to another? If so can you please point me to the documentation? How are config files updated in this case? (Could not locate documentation on binup) Yes. In recent FreeBSD releases, the base system of FreeBSD includes freebsd-update. This is a utility authored by Colin Percival, who is currently the Security Officer of FreeBSD, and a very smart fellow :) What freebsd-update does is described in its manpage http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-updateformat=ascii but the basic idea is that is can do one of the following things: * Download binary update packs in `/var/db/freebsd-update'. These are not installed immediatelly, so you can periodically pull the binary update files and install them later, when you have the time for an
bsdpan but would prefer deb-make-perl
Hi I dont like these bsdpan perl modules that I needed, but have. I would like to build and install these modules myself with something like debian's deb-make-perl. Is there anything like that for freebsd, of how do you guys go about with this.

Have a look at this: http://nighthack.org/wiki/EeeBSD Thank you SO much for this link. That's EXACTLY what I want to do because I realize that this is a HAL problem. I've been searching like MAD where I could get an updated binary HAL for this chipset (PCIe based). That makes two of us ;) My dmesg is very, very similar to yours and hoped that this would work. ath0: Atheros 5424/2424 mem 0xf220-0xf220 irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5 ath0: Reserved 0x1 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xf220 ioapic0: routing intpin 19 (PCI IRQ 19) to vector 64 ath0: [MPSAFE] ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6 I followed the instructions from the web page, recompiled and it made no difference which really worries me that I must have done something wrong. cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007/hal cp -R * /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/ I did not erase it previously but am going to try that. I made no kern configuration changes to find that the hal is from contrib. Is there nothing else I should do? Thanks, Well, I have only tested this on the eeepc and can confirm it works. Maybe different atheros chipset have other problems not directly related to the hal version. You do not need to do anything more that what is shown in the page: untar, replace the existing files, recompile / install kernel, reboot. If you got no errors during the kernel compilation phase, you can safely assume you did everything correctly, and the problem lies elsewhere. At least there was a ray of hope for the time it took to compile the kernel. Ed: I took recompiled and got the same issue. If I use the LATEST mad distro I get some compile bugs (ath_desc_status was moved into ath_desc structure in ah_desc.h) which I can't completely work around (apparently the API into the HAL has changed as well). What I'm trying to do is look at the Linux driver and understand the newer API in order to get past this compile issue and see if this works. Otherwise I believe we are SOL. Does anyone know if the CURRENT contains an updated ath HAL AND driver for support of newer PCIe based chipsets? If I get it to work I will let you know... Ok the trick is not to get it from the madfi project. Get it from the author directly!

2) Is it possible to compile multiple versions of gcc? If so what is

Yes, of course.
The base system of FreeBSD includes _one_ version of gcc, installed as
`/usr/bin/gcc', but this does not mean that you are limited to *that*
version only. You can use the Ports tree to install one or more
versions[...]

#
So I believe each gcc port keeps track of various dependencies and
their versions for a chosen gcc version. However if I need gcc40 (lets
say, not available from ports) or if I need to enable certain features
that ports disable then I guess I am on my own in that there are no
guarantees that it will compile.
Then it's usually much easier to tweak the port than start from scratch.
The Ports tree also includes various patches, updates and it supports a
lot of things other than ``run the ./configure script with all the right
options''. Some of these extra features are:
* Dependency tracking of the package.
* Conflicts tracking. If there are possible conflicts with already
installed packages, you will get notified.
* Recursive or simple one-port fetching of all the sources from their
standard FTP, or HTTP site, including checksum verification of the
distfiles.
* Patching of the source tree with `make patch', as an integrated part
of the port itself.
* Package registration in `/var/db/pkg'. With this comes also the
ability to pkg_delete the installed port in one, well-defined step.
The alternative of manually tracking what was installed, where it
was installed, which files it touched or added, and so on, may also
work, but it's not really as nice as pkg_add/pkg_delete.
* Package creation. You can build on one system, then `make package'
and transfer the pre-compiled port to another system (i.e. your
small sub-notebook EeePC that can do better things than build gcc
all the time).
Enabling a new option in a port is often just a matter of editing the
port Makefile and adding a few extra arguments to CONFIGURE_ARGS, i.e.:
# I like my gcc ports to have --enable-foo too (keramida)
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-foo
Then you get to keep all the nice features of Ports, and if you find the
new option useful, you can send it back to the Port maintainer :)
Coming from linux background, the different way of managing base
system and ports bothers me. I understand the reasons behind the
division but not the necessity to manage them differently. For
example how would I know if a package is in the base system or not?
Looks like for ports this can done with 'make search name=whatever'.
Is there an equivalent of freebsd-update for ports?
The separation comes with its own advantages. For example, if you are
tracking the 6.X-STABLE branch of the base system, then you can keep
updating the base system as many times as you want and leave the Ports
unchanged. The binary compatibility of the 6.X-STABLE branch guarantees
that a thirdparty package you compiled on 6.0-RELEASE will keep working
with a base system of 6.1-RELEASE, 6.2-RELEASE or 6.10-STABLE. As long
as there are not major security issues with a specific port you do *not*
have to upgrade it.
The base system itself is not a package, and all the ports intstall
software _exclusively_ under `/usr/local'. So you know that something
is part of the Ports because it is installed under `/usr/local'. The
opposite is also true: if something is in /usr/{bin,sbin,lib} then in a
well-managed FreeBSD system it is *not* part of the Ports, but of the
base system.
To answer the question about updates, yes, there are tools like
freebsd-update for Ports too. They are usually Ports themselves too,
and they are found in the `/usr/ports/ports-mgmt' category of software.
AFAIK, the most popular ones are `portupgrade', `portmanager' and
`portmaster'.

On the down-side, it is moderately more work than upgrading. On the up-side: 1) if something goes Horribly Wrong, you're not screwed 2) you will avoid library version conflicts, and indeed reclaim space used by orphaned libraries (and other files) 3) if desirable, you can re-size partitions Others are left as an exercise to the reader.

If you had to packetize this and transmit over an IP network, you'd need about 70Mbs for uncompressed (or half an OC3), or about 6Mbs (ie, four T1's, or about a 20% of a full T3) compressed.

In addition, I am quite sure the command we are referred to in 23.4.5 Drop to Single User Mode is in fact 'shutdown now' and not 'shutdown -r now'. Yes. But that section relates to dropping to single user mode for the duration of the build, not for the installworld phase. To quote from 23.4.5: You may want to *compile* the system in single user mode. (Emphasis mine) It is merely a possible preparatory step that some people like to take before embarking on the rest of the process. Section 23.4.9 goes on to talk about what to do after the world and kernel build are complete, and you have installed the new kernel: You should reboot into single user mode to test the new kernel works. Do this by following the instructions in Section 23.4.5. This refers specifically to the part of 23.4.5 that talks about rebooting into single user mode, and not the part that talks about dropping to single user mode. (A subtle, but important, distinction.) I would suggest that the simplest approach would be something like: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld make buildkernel # make installkernel (reboot into single user mode) # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -at ufs # swapon -a # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster (Just so we're clear - section 23.4.5 talks about going to single user mode for the duration of the *first 3 steps* of the above process. As I mentioned previously, I have never found this step necessary, but there is certainly no harm in it, and it may be the sensible thing to do if your system has a lot of users logged in during normal operations. Note that you must still reboot after installing the new kernel, and before continuing to installworld.) Dan I followed 'your' suggestion/recommendation and did 'shutdown -r now' with great results; -- fsck -p works fine. However allow me to say that the fbsd handbook section 23.4.9, which I was initially following referred me back/up to section 23.4.5. The entire section -- 23.4 Rebuilding “world” only mentioned 'shutdown -r now' one (1) time in section 23.4.12. Had the fbsd handbook mentioned 'shutdown -r now' instead of referring the reader to another section perhaps I wouldn't be discussing this with you. :-) Sorry to make this longer than it needed to be. I thank you once again. The handbook does say in section 23.4.2 that if /usr/src/UPDATING contradicts something you read in the handbook, UPDATING takes precedence so I guess it does cover itself. The steps in UPDATING seem to work pretty well. I sometimes do mergemaster -iU at the second mergemaster step in the To rebuild everything and install it on the current system step as I mostly don't change the files that get reviewed by mergemaster, otherwise I stick exactly to UPDATING and get almost no problems.

Monitoring raid health with mpt
I have a Dell PowerEdge 860 with SAS 5iR RAID controller and FreeBSD 6.2. The controller is configured for RAID 1. The controller is recognised as mpt0 and seen as a SCSI device da0. All seems to be working fine, but is there any way to tell if one of the disks fails? Lots of searching has suggested that most people reckon 'no', but some reckon sysctl -a | grep nonoptimal_volumes should come up with something useful. I've had a poke around in the source, which is probably pointless since my knowledge of C is next to zilch. But it looks like a number of sysctl oids are defined in mpt_raid.c: vol_member_wce, vol_queue_depth, vol_resync_rate and nonoptimal_volumes. I see none of these, just a couple from mpt.c: paddington# sysctl dev.mpt.0 dev.mpt.0.%desc: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter dev.mpt.0.%driver: mpt dev.mpt.0.%location: slot=8 function=0 dev.mpt.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x1000 device=0x0054 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x1f09 class=0x01 dev.mpt.0.%parent: pci2 dev.mpt.0.debug: 3 dev.mpt.0.role: 1 Should I expect to see some other values? Will the nonoptimal_volumes value turn up if a drive fails? Or will I see some messages in syslog?

I want my upgrades to be as cost-effective as possible, in other words. thanks in advance, gary Hi Gary Just back from hols so hope I'm not too late to add 2c. If you do go for new machines it's worth doing some research. I found there's no single component to go for when aiming for energy efficiency, you need to look at them all. I made energy efficiency and silence the top priorities when researching parts for my current desktop and the two pretty much go together. I ended up with Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard and AMD 35watt cpu and Seasonic high efficiency power supply. The CPU is even lower power than AMD's low power range (search for ADD3800CUBOX). It was cheap then but they are hard to find now. There seems to be a lot of variation in CPU power consumption in CPU's with the same performance, eg ADO3800CUBOX, virtually identical, is 65 watts. You can also reduce consumption by choosing an energy efficient model of power supply and by choosing lower output power. I calculated the power consumption for each component and found I could buy the smallest power supply in the Seasonic range and still have power to spare. Only one hard drive of course. I bought SATA but it turns out IDE uses less power. Also limiting the amount of memory and keeping the monitor brightness turned down keeps power consumption down. It's a while since I measured the power consumption of the finished machine but I seem to remember it uses about 35 watts at idle and about 95 watts while exercising everything to the max. The Dells at work use quite a lot more, in the region of 60 to 130 I think. It's a good idea to turn computers off at the wall when not using them not just shut them down. I was surprised to find mine uses about 25 watts when shut down. Again the Dells at work use even more. The corporate environment must waste so many megawatts... For servers my workplace is heading towards fewer physical machines and running virtual servers to implement their 'green ICT' policy. It's great to hear that someone else is thinking about the environmental effects.

Re: FreeBSD, Ubuntu and Win XP on one system
Sorry for not making myself clear... When I said Ubuntu uses GRUB boot manager and as far as I remember it won't recognize FreeBSD partition out of the box I was referring to the GRUB installed by Ubuntu installation which won't come with FreeBSD partition configured.

terminology question - upgrading one port with another
I'm trying to update something (actually install KDE4), and In need to make an 'update chain', but I can't remember the proper term. Namely I have port found in 'foo/abc' (abc-12345) and want to replace it with 'var/xyz'. I know there are several ways to do this (one involving entries in a file in etc?), but I cannot come up with the proper terms to find what I'm looking for in a search? Can anyone tell me a few terms that might help with this one? I've tried compbinations of port, upgrade, search and different, but that (unsurprisingly) isn't getting anywhere.

Re: FreeBSD, Ubuntu and Win XP on one system
I recommend installing FreeBSD first, then Windows and then Ubuntu ... Unless something has changed since the last time I was messing with this sort of thing, one hazard of installing a Linux last is that there may by then be no space left for the /boot partition, which has to be below cylinder 1024 to be accessible by BIOS. One might want to allocate what will become /boot as early in the process as possible. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Xerox Phaser 6110 printer
Does anybody have a Xerox Phaser 6110 printer working with FreeBSD? I've never had any trouble with my 6120, but I guess the crucial difference is the PostScript support in the 6120. The 6130 just works -- it internally supports lpr/lpd, not even needing CUPS -- but it, too, is PostScript. I'd be very cautious about any printer that doesn't support PostScript or at least PCL, even one from a first-rate supplier like Xerox. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From man portupgrade: Replace ghostscript-gnu with ghostscript-afpl: portupgrade -o print/ghostscript-afpl ghostscript-gnu -o / --origin was originally the option to supply a missing origin of an outdated package before FreeBSD 4.2, but this example shows another useful usage. Use portupgrade like this, and all the depen- dencies on the old package (ghostscript-gnu) will be succeeded to the new one (ghostscript-afpl) cleanly, without leaving inconsistency.

web log in FreeBSD box to /exchange
Aloha, One of my clients just switched from a RedHat server to an /exchange web mail on some kind of M$ server. I used to get emails by ssh into the Linux box on my FreeBSD terminal. I tried to get onto the URL they gave me for the webmail on line, but it wants me to load an unamed binary for some reason. I had web mail from another client 2 years ago that I just logged on to a url and up it came with a place to input your user name. It was squirell mail if I remember correctly. Any Ideas how to get on to this web mail site with out down loading some M$ file? Do we have a FreeBSD work around for this?
