Our network is very fast, so 30 seconds should be enough ... I've only recently started playing with LDAP but it sounds to me like you probably have one of the 'hard' options set for the reconnect policy in your nss_ldap.conf file. I use 'bind_policy soft' so that if the LDAP server isn't available we fail over to the next nsswitch service immediately.

Re: uptime 2 years!
Thank you. Although I have always felt there are better systems for Administrative purposes, FreeBSD is a rock solid performer. I'm a Mac user/Fan as well and since a lot of it's core was built on FreeBSD, goes to show how great it is. Thanks to all of you who were at least constructive and supportive and found some value in my story. Best Regards, Modulok wrote: uptime 2 years! Congratulations. Long uptimes should be shared, so as to encourage people to consider FreeBSD for long-term stability. Thank you for posting. Through this discussion the lazy administrator topic came up... In regards to that, we must keep in mind, 'stability,' pertains not only to run-time stability but also to temporal stability and general quality of the design and implementation of the original code base. If an administrator has to make offline kernel patches every week to fix a glaring security hole, something was wrong with the sofware's original design or implementation. Regardless, mistakes do occur, so keep your system up for as long as you can, but don't forget to watch the security reports for things that would directly affect that specific server.

Re: uptime 2 years!
Here's what I said to the last guy who says my skin is thin, just leave well enough alone and drop it please. Seems your skin is thin as well if you can't handle a little back talk :) Well, I can always except critism. The problem is that I don't need rude responses for something I thought would be something to share for your organization, a success story of FreeBSD. Only for people to call me lazy and say "Big Deal". If it's not a big deal, than say nothing. Maybe you should put someone in charge of answering emails who aren't cocky and smug, some responses were nice and at least supportive. I still believe in FreeBSD and it's a great OS. It's the nix I started and learned with but I think your community is full of conceited, pompous asses, the reason I don't like to associate with IT people. I'd rather not give money to someone who has to insult me. If you go to a restaurant and you get a rude waiter, what do you do? I don't go back or give them a crap tip.

Re: uptime 2 years!
No Problem, I figured that there are other systems out there with a longer uptime. I have this server as a postfix/courier-imap/ squirrelmail (60+ accounts and 30-40 forwards) mailserver with apache/ php/mysql. Also use it as a slave authoritative nameserver for over 100 zones (one zone with a 60sec TTL on a high volume production website) as well. Plus use it as a primary nameserver for our entire office (300+ workstations). I was lazy with it (Upgrading or Replacing) and when it hit a year, I decided to hold off doing anything with it as I wanted to see how long I could let it go. It's a celeron 2.4ghz server with 512m Ram and has been a champ server in it's performance and stability. I use CentOS for most of my other systems and find that as easy as it is for administration and upgrading, it lacks FreeBSD's performance. With the memory leaks that CentOS has, I usually have to end up restarting the machine(s). With FreeBSD I can just restart the services, and got my memory back and reduce the amount of swap being used. Regardless of the first email I got back (Which was a little rude), I will continue to run this server as long as I can and monitor the security risks using DenyHosts and other security measures.

Apache 2.2.4 with mod_ssl start up problem
Hi I am running 6.0 on i386 and have updated apache22 with the latest and greatest from my cvsup'ed ports tree (I also think openssl was updated to the latest beta 0.9.8e, which might be connected or maybe not...) All went fine until I have come to restart Apache when I get this error: httpd: Syntax error on line 83 of /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_ssl.so into server: /usr/ local/libexec/apache22/mod_ssl.so: Undefined symbol "SSL_CTX_set_info_callback" Well line 83 is the module load line in httpd.conf and has always been there, so I think that's a red herring. I have done a large amount of Googleing and come across similar people with similar problems, one of which was not answered, one of which was fixed by a re-install from port (Which I have done twice now so I don't think that's it) and one that was in German. Now my German is embarrassingly bad and you can't get a decent translation when it comes to problem fixing so I am not much wiser except it was suggesting something about a linked library, ldd and something in a *. 4.so version of a library but that's about all I could grasp :-( Can any one shed any light as to which FM I need to R so I can RTFM or what I can do to fix this.

I'm new to linux and so far I like the XFCE desktop look and it's speed, I think because of the Darwin base, it makes since for me to have it, as Mac is second to Windows.

I use it, and it's a nice (if essentially cosmetic) feature. I don't think the POP protocol has any facility similar to IMAP's enhanced idle, so I don't see how fam would be used there. I use Postfix for my MTA, so I am not familiar with courier's MTA, but I suspect that it wouldn't use fam either. (Why would it need to?)

I thne downloaded pango version 1.10.2, put it in /usr/ports/distfiles, went into the pango ports directory, and did a make install clean. The install failed. I went to uninstall it, and I got the error at the bottom I then removed the download from the distfiles directory, did another make deinstall (which gave an error) and then a make install clean, and I got the error below again. ===> Checking if x11-toolkits/pango already installed pkg_info: package pango-1.10.2 has no origin recorded ===> pango-1.10.2 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of x11-toolkits/pango without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/pango. Oh .. and now gaim does not work .. grunt. Anyway ... Can someone help me get rid of pango, and then get it installed again.

Resolving Perl 'make test' Errors?
We're running perl 5.8.7_2 (from ports), with a mix of modules installed via ports and CPAN, all on a 6.0-STABLE machine. Someone tried to install WWW::Mechanize from CPAN, and when it tried to do a 'make test', there was an error. If I build the module in ports and go into the work directory and run 'make test' manually, I get the same test error. I usually prefer to install Perl modules through ports when possible, so that portupgrade can take care of them for me. However, one of the shortcomings of the (at least default) way in which ports installs Perl modules is that ports does not run 'make test'. Is there a clever way to have the ports system run 'make test' before installing a Perl module? Most of the /usr/ports/*/p5-*/Makefile files do not have 'test' defined as a target. Does anyone have any advice for how to go about ironing out this problem? My first inclination is to remake each of my p5-* ports and run 'make test' on them manually and then have CPAN reinstall everything that we have installed via CPAN.

Mouse/KB issues (interrupt problems?) on 6.0-RELEASE
I'm having a really odd problem with my mouse (Logitech MX510 over USB) and keyboard (plain old PS2 keyboard). I'm running Gnome, with up to date ports, on 6.0 (amd64 -- see below for uname, etc). A minor, if possibly related, mouse clicks sometimes don't register (though I heard that there's nothing I can do about this -- ums(4) simply doesn't like new mice yet). The more important problem is that much of the time, typing has no effect until I nudge the mouse. (In other words, I'll type a handful of characters, see that they're not showing up, then jog the mouse, which causes all the characters I've just typed to pop up.) This only seems to be a problem inside Gnome -- I've never had that symptom on the console. I had the same symptom with a wireless USB keyboard, as well. Should I try ULE? Or maybe go up to 7? This box is just a way for me to test FreeBSD's viability as a desktop OS, so I don't mind fiddling with it. Thanks for any help.

FYI, it is a "convenient" property of mount_mfs that it will do a newfs on your file-backed memory store upon mounting it. I understand that a new parameter has been added in -CURRENT recently to have it preserve the contents of the file-backed memory disk. Caveat mounter!

Re: How to Mount NFS Automatically After Boot-Time?
Thanks for the great advice! I wasn't able to fiddle with the order of mountcritremote to my satisfaction without creating a circular ordering, so I wound up putting the mount commands I wanted run late in /etc/rc.local, then I fiddled with the load order of /etc/rc.d/local.

How to Mount NFS Automatically After Boot-Time?
We have several servers that mount from an NFS server for a lot of reading and writing. We typically have this mount listed in /etc/fstab. If one of these servers reboots when the NFS server is offline, it hangs in single-user mode until the NFS server comes back online. We have tried usiing amd(8), but the sorts of traffic we have been generating has been just a little too much for amd to handle. Occasionally it will become overwhelmed and will not work properly until it (amd) is restarted. So, it is back to a straight NFS mount. How can we cause this NFS mount to be made after the system has reached multi-user so that we can log in and perhaps mount from another server? (The servers are in a colo, so it's not easy to gain physical access to the console to operate the machine in single-user.) I've played with putting a mount command into /etc/rc.local, but I don't know whether that would make us equally susceptible to a server outage.

Ripping cd's with mp3c
mp3c doesn't seem to rip or encode songs from the cd. It does see the
cd, it lists the songs on it, but just creates an empty file of every
song with a .mp3 extension that won't play. I've configured
the .mp3crc config file, which must contain an error somewhere. Any
ideas?

When I boot an SMP kernel, dmesg.boot includes the following: CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 (1991.88-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0xf58 Stepping = 8 Features=0x78bfbff AMD Features=0xe0500800 real memory = 2147483648 (2048 MB) avail memory = 2061676544 (1966 MB) ACPI-0159: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not get RSDP, AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_NO_ACPI_TABL ES ACPI: table load failed: AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES My searches have indicated that the most prevalent causes of this are ACPI not being enabled or an out-of-date BIOS. The motherboard manual indicates that ACPI is enabled by default, so should our next step be just to update the BIOS and hope for the best? Is there a clever way to determine our BIOS version without physically accessing the server?

Multiple Apaches
Hi all, My boss has finally seen the light, and we're migrating from a cobbled-together Linux box to FreeBSD very soon. In the four months I've been working for him, I have spent more time fiddling with our Linux servers than I spent in 4 years running FreeBSD on a number of servers. On one of my old FreeBSD servers, I wanted a regular Apache installation, so I had /usr/ports/www/apache13 installed. At the same time, I maintained a specially-configured Apache installation in /usr/local2 that was, among other things, statically linked with mod_perl. On the new box that we're putting together soon, we'll need to have apache2 going, so that's obviously something to install/maintain via ports. At the same time, we're going to need a couple of statically linked apache13 installations. Should I plan on repeating the what I did before, which is to maintain an apache installation separate from ports? Or is there some clever way to have ports install stuff in different places under different names? For instance, I'd like to have www/apache2 installed in the default location and install www/apache13-modperl with some PREFIX, telling it to disregard any CONFLICTS? Can I give a ports installation a different DISTNAME so that it's in the package database under some other name?

Installing php4
Hi all I have been trying to install php4 (On FreeBSD 5.2.1, cvsuped ports tree, php4-4.3.8_1, I have tried both the mod_php4 and lang/php4) and the full menu options seem to have disappeared. When I run make install I get a 3 line menu offering to allow me to install for apache2 instead of apache 1.3.x, to enable debugging and use IPv6. I have no options to configure the build process. If I allow the build to continue Apache grumbles that it can't find variable session( ), which would suggest PHP is not compiled with session support. What am I doing wrong? What has changed?

Re: decisions for MAME machine
I have an arcade monitor, so I needed to run advancemame, but I could not get it to work on FBSD. (It needed a very recent version of svgalib which only worked under linux, or something like that.) So, after messing about with various linuxes, it now mostly works under slackware. I'm not saying it's impossible to get advancemame to work under fbsd, but I at least could not do it easily, so rather than fight it, I just went with something that worked out of the box. If your computer is reasonably recent, I doubt you'll have to worry about performance.

Re: UDMA ICRC error
I occasionally get those errors as well. When I'd boot, the drive would try and do ATA-100, fail, and revert to PIO-4. (I blame the cheap PCI IDE card, it came free with a hard drive, and I have to use it, since the nforce2 chipset on my mobo won't see anything but primary master and secondary master under FBSD.) I can make it work by setting the drive to ATA-33, though. (The command, for me, is # atacontrol mode 2 UDMA33 xxx but check the manpage to see what options you should use.)

> Try tweaking it up to, say, WDMA2, etc. and see what happens... OK I changed it to WDMA2 and it seems to behave! Well I went a little further and changed it back to UDMA33 and slowed the ad0 drive to UDMA33. It was previously set at UDMA66. Did the copy operation again, it did not show me any errors.

When putting everything back to the defaults, I start seeing the messages again. Interesting huh? One of the drives ad0 is capable of ATA100 though my motherboard is not capable of that. It uses UDMA66 and this transfer mode works well in other OS's. The drive that is driving me nuts the ad1 is only capable of UDMA33.

Thanks, I used atacontrol to change the mode in which the drive was working and the errors went away. I changed it from UDMA66 to PIO0 and no more messages. My motherboard controller will handle the UDMA66 mode so I do not know what the deal is. My drives are on a ATA100 cable. I will look a little deeper so see what else is causing this. I would much rather operate the drive in UDMA66 mode than PIO0. I will take a look in the archives to see what I can dig up.

Need some insight on error messages that I am getting.
Hello list, I have decided to give FreeBSD a try but I am having a issue that I need help with. I apologize for the length of the email. I just want to ensure that I give enough information to see if anyone can help. Well I am running FreeBSD 4.8. It (FreeBSD) is installed on the second hdd on my system. Which is ad1. The first drive ad0 has windows and SuSE linux on it. I have been able to get FreeBSD to boot and it seems to work properly. But when I try and copy a file from a CD to the FreeBSD drive, I get some error messages. Below is the procedure that I used to try and copy the file and the error messages that come with it. # mount /cdrom (system tells me that the cd is mounted with Rock Ridge extensions) # cp /cdrom/some-file ~ (And now the messages) ad1: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices -- done This one repeats for about 5 times. Then this one occurs. ad1: removed from configuration done handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count >From here on out, I cannot control the system and have to do a hard reboot :( This is with a 75M file that I am trying to transfer over. After the reboot, I try with a smaller file. It will transfer but will give at least one of the ad1: WRITE messages. I tried the above file again and I was greeted with the WRITE errors but it finally completed. Judging by the error messages, the system is telling me that there is a problem with the drive. Well I shutdown the system and looked again at the jumpers on the drives. They are set correctly. Next I go out to the net and get a diagnostic utility for the hard drive and run it on the drive. It passed with flying colors. I even reinstalled FreeBSD and even installed the 5.1 to see if the same thing occurs and it does. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on here? Any help will be appreciated! I noticed when I install FreeBSD that it somehow changed how the drive is seen in BIOS. Before installation with the drive wiped clean it shows up as a LBA drive. After installation, it shows up as a CHS drive. During the probes that occur when installing, I see that it sees 2 "c" drives and 2 "d" drives. Is this normal??

ISO IMAGES 5.0
I have downloaded your new iso images for FreeBSD 5.0-release twice from two different mirrors. The checksums do not match with those found with the images, and the images can not be booted. I do not know if anyone has emailed you about this yet, but I thought you should know. I cannot install over ftp since I do not have a floppy on my system so I need an iso to install from.

Support for shuttle S551G mobo?
Has anyone looked at the Shuttle mobo/case combo? They are shoebox-sized, with a variable speed fan, and look like they'd make a killer server. <http://us.shuttle.com/specs2.asp?pro_id=76> However, they use a SiS 651 bridge chip, and that isn't on the supported list (for 4.7 or 5.0, as far as I can tell). The 4.7 installer dies during hardware probing, unable to read from the disks. (Gets a read timeout, tries to reset at0, and hangs). Any ideas? P.S.I know it's rude, but I am not subscribed to the list - I would appreciate it if any replies went to me as well as the list. Thanks! -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey! Who messed with my anti-paranoia shot?

usbd fails with "Could not read event, Invalid argument" error
Hi guys, have a slight problem that google and the list archives haven't been able to shed any light on. When I attempt to start usbd it exits with a fatal error message as shown below. # /usr/sbin/usbd -v usbd: opened /dev/usb0 usbd: opened /dev/usb1 usbd: opened /dev/usb2 usbd: reading configuration file /etc/usbd.conf usbd: opened /dev/usb usbd: Could not read event, Invalid argument A quick grep of the sources shows that this error message is from the `process_event_queue' function in `usr.sbin/usbd/usbd.c' and seems to indicate that a read on `/dev/usb' failed. World is standard 4.7-RELEASE and the kernel was compiled using RELENG_4 CVS sources updated early this morning. The USB ports have been verified to work, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. Any suggestions on how to resolve this error would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I'd like to get a LinkSys WUSB11 v2.6 (Atmel chipset) wireless USB adapter working with FreeBSD, but I know that may be a lost cause, at least for the near future. :-) Thanks, Marshall --- # ls -l /dev/usb* crw-rw 1 root operator 108, 255 Nov 29 21:50 /dev/usb crw-rw 1 root operator 108, 0 Nov 29 21:50 /dev/usb0 crw-rw 1 root operator 108, 1 Nov 30 23:55 /dev/usb1 crw-rw 1 root operator 108, 2 Nov 30 23:55 /dev/usb2 --- # dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.

jail routing problem
Hi, With the following setup I don't understand why ip from the jail 192.168.1.2 cannot reach hosts in 192.168.2.0/24. Can I use a fancy ipfw fwd rule to make it work? Anything routes that use the default gateway is fine. Here is the setup: = Host system = default gateway 192.168.1.254 fxp0: inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.1.255 fxp1: inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 = First Jail = fxp0: inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.1.2 fxp1: cheers, Derek.

I've been using some Zoom USB Voice modems here with NetBSD for a while, and they've been working great. They're based on the Lucent Venus CRM chip, I think. Basically, for USB modems, avoid anything that doesn't say it has a controller. They seem to get marketted as "gamer" modems, since they put less strain on the host CPU.
