Actually, once your project becomes a commercial enterprise, the GPL stops allowing reference to upstream sources to suit the requirements of code redistribution. If you sell GPLed software, you have to provide the sources yourself -- and, if you offer the *option* of access to the sources without actually ensuring that everybody gets a copy of the sources right away, you have to maintain sources for each distributed version for a number of years after the last such distribution.

That's really true of software under *any* license -- because it's basically free to copy and distribute. The only question is whether it's reasonable to expect to be able to get the government to enforce your business model for you. If not (as in the case of something distributed under the terms of the BSD license), you'll probably need to offer something additional (such as local presence for physical, face to face transactions, or a package deal with something else, or perhaps free support above and beyond what's available from the FreeBSD project itself, and so on). -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpEQ7IE1Q20m.pgp Description: PGP signature

There is a ext3 partition used to share data between linux and freebsd.
Sometimes freebsd cannot mount this partition as abnormal poweroff. I have
to enter linux to do `fsck.ext3` .

Re: 8.0-RELEASE/amd64 - full ZFS install - low read and write disk performance (fixed)
Hello folks A few weeks ago, there was a discussion started by me regarding abysmal read/write performance using ZFS mirror on 8.0-RELEASE. I was using an Atom 330 system with 2GB ram and it was pointed out to me that my problem was most likely having both disks attached to a PCI SIL3124 controller, switching to the new AHCI drivers didn't help one bit.

The simpler /etc/printcap above using ps2hl1250 which is a very short script works as well. No need to have to load the foomatic-filters port.

Made the necessary changes on the server's config and it's working. Test pages et.al are being sent and printed like before but this time it's on the USB setup. Warren, I must have been missing the forest for the trees. I saw your link but was convinced it was just another story about how it's not working. Anyway, turns out there is no need to make one a member of daemon group for this. Now one last question. I print from two segments in my home LAN. One is 10.0.0.0/24 which is where almost everything in the house is. The other is 192.168.0.0/24 which is for all the wireless devices and guests who visit with their wireless laptops. I need to start lpd with -W parameter in order to get it to accept print jobs from the 192.168.0.0/24 wireless segment. So what is the proper syntax for this in /etc/rc.conf lpd_enable="YES" or should I just start lpd from /etc/rc.local where I can setup the command line as I need it? Will test your other /etc/printcap settings listed above and report back. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

As far as I know FreeBSD is not actually illegal anywhere in the world, although I guess there may be a few unenlightened places where they don't understand the necessity of strong encryption on today's Internet. Even so, you can strip the crypto out, and it still counts as FreeBSD. Anyhow, any local restrictions are the OP's problem: the only point on which I or anyone else on this list are qualified to offer an opinion is the interpretation of the various licenses involved. Even so, it's strictly amateur: I have no legal qualifications or license to practice. [My advice is free and worth every penny.

Can you throw data _directly_ at the printer (i.e., *NOT* through lpr/lpd), and will it print? You can't use a simple 'echo Hello, World! >/dev/lp' to find out, because its a fscking 'winprinter'. power everything down, connect the USB cable only, power up the printer first, then the computer. When it has come up, do you have a /dev/usb/lp0 device? Have you created a symlink at /dev/lp that points to /dev/usb/lp0? What happens if you do (as root) where 'testfile.ps' is a simple Postscript doc]: # /usr/local/libexec/ps2hl1250 < testfile.ps >/dev/usb/lp0 how about: # /usr/local/libexec/ps2hl1250 < testfile.ps >/dev/lp For that matter, what does "find /dev -name '*lp*' -ls" show? If any of the names show as symlinks, do an 'ls -l' on the symlink target. I'm guessing that /dev/lp is a 'character device' node, pointing to the parallel port; and when lpd tries tyo print to _that_ -- with only the USB connection, -- it *doesn't*work* (for what is now an 'obvious' reason :) Okay guys this is finally working.

It is not quite clear, but I think you are saying that you cannot boot from the new CD you just burned. The most likely problem is that you burned it incorrectly. For me the terminology gets rather fuzzy when trying to describe this, but you must burn the ISO image you downloaded directly to the CD. Usually, if you use the CD for something like backups or to hold a bunch of picture files, you first create an image containing the files and that image gets burned to the CD. But, with the install ISOs, they are already an image that needs to be burned as-is - no further image making. Unfortunately, although I have made many dual boot systems with FreeBSD and XP, I have never used the XP to burn a CD (my earliest installs were actually with Floppies and later versions I burned CDs using FreeBSD), so I am not familiar with the utilities available on XP nor any of their parameters/syntax. You will have to study their documentation. Someone else may know the utilities and their parameters better. The other possible problem is if the BIOS will boot from you CD. If the BIOS is from the last 10 years or so, it should have that ability. It sounds like you have already looked in to this one so it is probably not the problem. The first one above is probably it.

When it has come up, do you have a /dev/usb/lp0 device? Have you created a symlink at /dev/lp that points to /dev/usb/lp0? What happens if you do (as root) where 'testfile.ps' is a simple Postscript doc]: # /usr/local/libexec/ps2hl1250 < testfile.ps >/dev/usb/lp0 how about: # /usr/local/libexec/ps2hl1250 < testfile.ps >/dev/lp For that matter, what does "find /dev -name '*lp*' -ls" show? If any of the names show as symlinks, do an 'ls -l' on the symlink target. I'm guessing that /dev/lp is a 'character device' node, pointing to the parallel port; and when lpd tries tyo print to _that_ -- with only the USB connection, -- it *doesn't*work* (for what is now an 'obvious' reason :) Thanks for your reply. I hate to be such a noob about this but USB and FreeBSD don't ever seem to work right for me. I tried the echo method # echo Hello > /dev/lp /dev/lp: Operation not supported. So I then tried # echo Hello > /dev/ulpt0 and I got an empty prompt until I pressed Ctrl+c to exit. I disconnected everything except the keyboard which is PS2 and the monitor and rebooted the printer and computer allowing the printer to come up first. When I did a directory on the /dev/usb folder this is what shows up: BigDell# ll /dev/usb/ total 0 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 72 Feb 27 07:40 0.1.0 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 76 Feb 27 07:40 0.1.1 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 94 Feb 27 02:40 0.2.0 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 96 Feb 27 02:40 0.2.1 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 97 Feb 27 02:40 0.2.2 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 87 Feb 27 02:40 0.3.0 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 89 Feb 27 02:40 0.3.1 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 100 Feb 27 02:40 0.3.2 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 74 Feb 27 07:40 1.1.0 crw--- 1 root operator 0, 77 Feb 27 07:40 1.1.1 I'm not so sure this is what we call a Windows printer. Maybe I'm off base there but by that if you mean i

It is not very clear what you, David, have done! Have you actually installed FreeBSD from the cd you burned and find that you are unable to boot from the installed FreeBSD. In this case it would seem probable that you failed to install a suitable master boot record during installation. You can reboot from the installation source and correct this without needing to reinstall everything. When this is done you will be asked at boot which partition/slice to boot from whenever the machine is restarted. Or have you put the cd in your optical drive and attempted to boot from that in an attempt to install FreeBSD. I suspect this may be your actual difficulty. If so what do you see on the cd if you mount it under XP. If it contains a single file of the ISO image you used when burning the CD then you burned the CD incorrectly. The ISO-image is an image and needs to be burned to directly to the CD -- not recorded as a file on the CD. Your CD burner software will surely have this option but it is not likely to be its default manner of working. If you simply use the default of copying the image to a file in some arbitrary file sytem on the CD then it will not contain any boot code so all attemps to boot from the CD will fail. Or perhaps you have some quite different problem. Then tell us exactly what you have done step by step and someone here may be able to help.

transmission-daemon: Couldn't create socket: Protocol not supported (fdlimit.c:642)
I have 4 virtual machines. They have exactly the same settings, except port numbers. Only one is doing this. Writes messages to syslog like: Feb 27 11:06:32 vm04 transmission-daemon: Couldn't create socket: Protocol not supported (fdlimit.c:642) Feb 27 11:09:20 vm04 transmission-daemon: Couldn't create socket: Protocol not supported (fdlimit.c:642) Feb 27 11:09:57 vm04 last message repeated 11 times Feb 27 11:13:25 vm04 transmission-daemon: Couldn't create socket: Protocol not supported (fdlimit.c:642) and also the rpc part is not reachable. Usually when I try to connect to the rpc port of transmission-daemon, I get "connection timed out" or "connection reset by peer" messages. But sometimes (rarely) it works. Some more information: vm04# uname -a FreeBSD vm04 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #2: Wed Nov 18 08:50:04 CET 2009 gand...@vm04:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DARKSUN amd64 vm04# sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 12328 vm04# sysctl kern.openfiles kern.openfiles: 784 File uploads/downloads work as expected. Just I cannot monitor them, cannot add new files, remove old ones etc. because the RPC interface is not available. Where should I look for the problem?
