Flash and realplayer and all that jazz runs under FreeBSD. And if you have a few windows apps you have to use, there's always wine.

Re: Are there Console Based MP3 Players ?
Yes! I've got a great method I can recommend for mpg123. My BSD box has no monitor, no XFree, but it has 80 gigs of MP3s and a great set of speakers hooked up to it. I ssh into it from whatever room in the house I'm in and use one of these commands. (Aliased from ~/.bashrc) # MP3 alias play='ls -l1 *.mp3 > ALL.m3u && mpg123 --list ALL.m3u' alias playnew='ls -tl1 *.mp3 > ALL.m3u && mpg123 --list ALL.m3u' alias playr='ls -l1 *.mp3 > ALL.m3u && mpg123 -z --list ALL.m3u' IN OTHER WORDS: cd /mp3/AcidJazz play # <-- plays in alphabetical order playnew # <-- plays newest-dated MP3s first playr# <-- plays in random order! I have like 20 gigs of JAZZ in one folder, so it's wonderful to just type "cd /mp3/jazz && playr" and have it play randomly all day long as I program.

Do I need to configure my NIC with IPV6 on the install because > currently I say no and just configure a normal IP address. That could well be the msp sendmail trying to do DNS lookups for the ::1 address, which is the IPv6 version of 127.0.0.1. As /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README says: Note: if localhost doesn't resolve to the IP address of your local system (127.0.0.1 or ::1 for IPv6), then you either need to fix your hostname resolution (localhost and localhost.YOUR.DOMAIN should resolve to that address by convention) or you need to specify the IP address as argument, e.g., FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]') So there's two ways of fixing that. Either set up DNS so that it can resolve ::1 to localhost and localhost.dom.ain (and vice versa), or tell sendmail not to use IPv6. The latter is easier. Simply copy /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc to yourhostname.submit.mc and edit it to read: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 2001, 2002 Sendmail, Inc. and its suppliers. # All rights reserved. # # By using this file, you agree to the terms and conditions set # forth in the LICENSE file which can be found at the top level of # the sendmail distribution. # # # # This is the prototype file for a set-group-ID sm-msp sendmail that # acts as a initial mail submission program. # divert(0)dnl VERSIONID(`$Id: submit.mc,v 8.6 2002/03/26 03:30:58 ca Exp $') define(`confCF_VERSION', `Submit')dnl define(`__OSTYPE__',`')dnl dirty hack to keep proto.m4 from complaining define(`_USE_DECNET_SYNTAX_', `1')dnl support DECnet define(`confTIME_ZONE', `USE_TZ')dnl FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl Now append a line: SENDMAIL_SUBMIT_MC=/etc/mail/yourhostname.submit.mc to /etc/make.conf, then cd /etc/mail and type: make make install make restart-mspq Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: restoring disklabel from an active disk?
> > yup, I got the part about the incore label but too late: I wish > there was some way to refresh it. It is "active" as far as df -k > or the mechanism in the kernel that tracks filesystems knows. Hmmm. I just thought of something. You say the disklabel starts at 0. Do you mean the offset? That is the normal place to start. That is 0 relative to the slice it is in, not the cylinder, track, sector. The only things you really need to pay much attention to in the part of the disklabel output regarding the "partitions" are the partition letter, the size, the offset and the fstype. (There are a couple of other things in the list before that that need to be correct, but they normally are figured out correctly by the system so just keep those values - you can add a label name if you like). So, if it is just the offset that starts at 0 you might still be in good shape. jerry > > Jerry McAllister wrote: > >>I seem not to have that anymore: the disklabel that I get back > >>starts at 0.

Does anyone else have any idea? That's harmless. The procedure of init seems to be adopted to xdm, which accepts this parameter. kdm doesn't know about this, therefore claims the fact, but otherwise just works fine (at least for me).

Re: restoring disklabel from an active disk?
I seem not to have that anymore: the disklabel that I get back starts at 0. I seem to have trashed that as well while I was thrashing around with this.

It was for the /var directory but it would be the same thing for /usr. You can look through the list archives for it. Actually, we find that is is /usr/local that grows a lot so on our systems we just pull our /usr/local and put it somewhere else with a link, but your usage may be different I suppose. Anyway, basically - make yourself some space where there is lots of room to grow. - It may mean adding a disk, partitioning it with fdisk and disklabel and newfs-ing the partition[s]. I'll assume that is done. - create a directory there, be it just a subdirectory or a whole partition. Let's say you got it all made and mounted as /newplace - Move the contents of /usr to it probably using tar # cd / # tar cf /newplace/usr.tar /* Here I assume lots of space in newplace # cd /newplace /* Or else put the tar file some where else # tar xf usr.tar # mv tar new.usr - rename the old /usr /* just keep it handy in case of a skrewup # cd / # mv usr usr.old - make a link # ln -s /newplace/new.usr usr Now you are ready to go. You can go back and rm -rf the /usr.old after you have checked out the new one and then goto /newplace and get rid of the tar file. Probably it is best to do all this in single user. It isn't necessary to call the new usr directory in /newplace anything other than just usr, but I like to do that to make it clear what I have done so I don't confuse myself on those groggy mornings. jerry > > thanks, karl > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I use webmin all the time. I'm so sure its secure I have it start at bootup. Its just like anything else, including the freebsd core. its as secure as you make it..

Who-is-the-list-GuRu??? (must read)
wuzzup peeps, i'm getting more bald as the days go by :( I was reading the retail distro box at best buy of FreeBSD v4.0 and decided, Hey - I gotta have this baby! well that was two or three years ago. the book that came with v4.0 was by Greg Lehey - (The Complete FreeBSD) .well the trip home seemed a very long ways. it seemed as if i couldn't get there soon enough to fire up FreeBSD... i'm thinking - YEA - ITS WHAT YAHOO RUNS - I'LL HAVE A HELLA SERVER BOX NOW . After i read most parts of the book i started installing...I joined the list to find out no one had heard of Version 4.0 i was a total nooB to servers at this time and couldn't get any help at all which would be nooB-Fied help. so i gave up after a month or so and switched over to win32 applications. I went from win98 to w2k pro and then MS Advanced Server 2000... Now after screwing around for the past few years with servers and web design, i have really admired effort and commitment that all the programmerz and hackerz have put in for the cause A MS FREE ENVIRONMENT !!! Now i'm back in the saddle again with FreeBSD Unix OS. Am i stupid or what? :) I really just want to join in on the cause. Now to the point - I NEED SOME HELP FROM A UNIX GURU PLZ :) i have this one mountain standing in my way--- i've been studying and reading up on perl for a while and decided to swich over to php/mysql . So i went and got the book from sams publishing called PHP and MySQL Web Development now to do the examples of the book, i have to install and configure with -- mysql, apache, mod_ssl, Open_ssl, RSA Ref 2.0, php, curl, pspell, gd lib i've compiled and built everything but MySQL everyone says install the port... I HAVE and it works just fine BUT-- it is important(by book) that mysql be installed to /usr/local/mysql the reason is while installing PHP the ./configure goes like this - ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-xml --with-apache=../apache_1.3.xx \ --with-curl=/usr/local/curl \ --with-pspell=/usr/local/pspell \ --with-jpeg-dir=path --with-t1lib=path --enable-shared-pdflib \ --enable-track-vars \ mysql compiles without any errors i just can't get it started... i don't have a clue how to setup the start up scripts or whatever i need ./configure prefix=/usr/local/mysql so what would the prefix be if i just add the port? the port installs to local everywhere files are scattered all over that i seen... so i dunno how to prefix php for build? i've been working at this and researching the net for solutions over a week now... some plz find me the guru for this :) just get me help with compiling mysql to /usr/local/mysql and i'm set tx guys here's my install notes i just did another fresh format and install and i'm stuck till mysql goes in the right place i guess... --mamabear-install-notes-- p3-500, 256M SDRam, 40g HDD FreeBSD v4.6 -- disk partitions 200MB--[ / ] 512MB--[ SWAP ] 39gigs-[ /usr ] -- after standard install, install creates /var and /tmp. i want them in /usr so they have no fixed size like auto defaults gives them. so i create the new, remove the old, link to the new. mkdir /usr/var cd /var tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) cd / rm -rf /var ln -s /usr/var /var mkdir /usr/tmp rm -rf /tmp ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp -- packages to get me going - x11 windows gnome desktop gedit gnome find gnome file manager netscape nav n com tx again guys RDWestSr To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Re: FreeBSD as a Desktop
You can usually find substitutes for your applications on Windows. The only thing you would really miss is: 1. Outlook's scheduling support. (I know Evolution but it won't work with other people's Outlook if you don't buy the Connector from Ximian). 2. Games. (Yes, we have games but the popular games like Warcraft 3, etc. won't run) 3. Visual Studio. (If you like to program in this way.) 4. Things like right click to change resolution and wizards to help setup things, and various other small things. But once you get the hang of it, you will stick with FreeBSD, trust me. I run fluxbox (You should run KDE 3.0 or Gnome 2.0 if you are used to Windows) as my window manager. The three applications I use most often are Konsole, Evolution (for email), and Galeon (for web browsing).

If you can get disklabel to print out the incore version of the label and it looks correct, just pipe that output to a file and then use that file as input to write the label.

I'm thinking you're running into some sort of resource starvation problem here. First of all, this is not a good idea: > makeoptions COPTFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" The maximum recommended optimisation level for compiling the kernel is '-O': anything higher is known to produce incorrect code. Start by recompiling the kernel with COPTFLAGS="-O -pipe", and see if the problem persists. If it does, you need to monitor the system to see if it is running out of resources. Can you correlate crashing with peaks of activity from your users? Can you see if you're running out of mbufs (ie netstat -m) as usage ramps up? Try running top(1) and watch the CPU, swap and memory usage over time. Similarly run 'systat -vm' for a summary of all system activity. This may give you some hints about where your system is running out of steam, and how to tune it to cope better. If it does appear to be a Kernel bug, you should set up your system to produce kernel crash dumps. Read Section 16.1 of the Developers handbook and follow the instructions therein --- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html (ie. compile a kernel with debug symbols, set up a dump area by setting the 'dumpdev' and 'dumpdir' commands in /etc/rc.conf --- nb. both of those should point to areas larger than your system RAM in order to get any meaningful results.) If you can then generate a traceback using gdb and post it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or send-pr(1) you should find some of the kernel developers willing to help you out.

If /usr/ports/ doesn't exist, or is empty, you might want to either go the hard route and install cvsup, add ports-all to your cvsup file, and cvsup your ports, or download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports.tar.gz into /usr and extract it...

(I guess this isn't configured on your new box, as you don't mention it in your post - but forgive me if I am teaching you to suck eggs!). /etc/resolv.conf looks something like this: domain mydomain.com search search.domain.co.uk example.com nameserver You only really need the name server lines - I would supply at least two, preferably on different networks to provide some sort resiliency. The domain and search lines add a bit of convenience. If you try to resolve a name by just the host portion (i.e., with no domain part attached), first the value under domain is appended, and if no match is found, the values in the search lines are appended, in order. If a match is still not found, then the name servers are consulted. There are a couple of other directives, but I have never needed to use them. Check out man 5 resolv.conf for completeness. If your two other boxes can resolve names, they evidently get nameserver details from the dhcp server (or they have /etc/resolv.conf file in place) Look for a file called /etc/dhclient.conf - it contains directives that can determine what information you get from the DHCP server. Of particular interest will the "require" directive - there is a good example in man 5 dhclient.conf.

Linking a directory to another filesystem
sorta newbie question, I think, and not sure where to post it...so I put it here. system: 5.0-current, lots of hard disk space. I am filling up / with stuff...so much so that the system is crashing and rebooting(!) when I print. Problem seems to be that /usr directory is located on the / filesystem when I have a /usr filesystem that has gobs of space but not much on it. I want to move the /usr directory contents over and link the /usr directory on the / filesystem to the /usr filesystem but not exactly sure how to do it (after reading the docs) without messing things up. Not sure if I need to soft link or hard link...etc. thanks, karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I gnomecontrolcenter, I have selected Sawfish as the current window manager, but when I click the Sawfish configuration tool, I get a beep, and the error: "Sawfish isn't running."

restoring disklabel from an active disk?
I somehow wiped out my disklabel and while I am backing up my home directory in the event I need to start from scratch, I would like know if I can somehow extract a valid disklabel from a running system and re-apply it?

Re: VPN between 2 FreeBSD servers
Hey If you do a quick search on ipsec, racoon, and freebsd on google you should find several how-to's on how to set this up. Freebsd supports site to site vpn tunneling via esp and point to point via ah using kernel level ipsec provied by the kame project ( www.kame.net ). Is not hard at all to set up between bsd-bsd but not much fun to get working with other platforms. Another option would be OpenVPN which is a user mode non ipsec vpn package.

Re: FreeBSD as a Desktop
I'm happy to say that I have been 100% Microsoft Free for the past 2 months. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 2715X/DVD. Running FreeBSD 4.6. I have a NetGear FA411 nic and I also use a Linksys wireless card for my home network. I'm a long time subscriber to the CD distribution of FreeBSD. I use KDE 3.0 as my Desktop. I purchased Star Office for Linux from Sun. I can read/save/print/create in Office 2000/98 format as well as StarOffice. One of the best $75.00 (not sure of the exact amount at the moment) I've spent on software in a long time. I use Evolution 1.0.7 for E-mail. I connect via IMap to an Exchange server when I need to. I have also thought about purchasing the Exchange connector from Ximian. I run Linux Netscape 6 and I also use the Konqueror. I run axyftp for my FTP client. I run xmms for streaming audio. I enjoy those shoutcast streams. I use Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF files. I use shlight to connect to the NT network shares. I use sane to pull images off of my digital camera. I use XChat for IRC. I'm not a developer but I do some web site maintenance. I'm still looking for a good WYSIWYG web editor but I can kick it old school with vi. I'm a Network Engineer so I use Ethereal a lot. I use APSFilter to print to our network printers and to my printers at home. I use Konsole to do all my telnet/ssh stuff in. I use cu when I need to connect my serial port to the console of any network equipment. It's a great feeling. It hasn't been always easy but I'm happy with my setup. I play MP3's on my laptop but I dont usually rip and encode them on my laptop. I do those at home on my desktop machine. There is a port of the AOL Instant Messenger that a buddy of mine uses.

Most 3rd party packages install themselves into a specific directory, so it's pretty easy to remove them by removing the directory However, there are those that don't - in which case you have to hunt thru' the system for where they've installed themselves (usually just within the /usr/local subtree).

They are assigned IP addresses, see the Smoothy as a DNS server, all ok. Now, this new box just can't seem to see the DNS server on the smoothwall box. Smoothwall is set to give out IP address in the range 192.168.1.10-30. The new box was assigned 192.168.1.15. It can ping both internal and external 'net address's. It can even FTP into ftp.uk.freebsd.org if I use the IP address. If I use the URI, I get: ftp: ftp.uk.freebsd.org: No address associated with hostname I tried assigning IP and router addresses manually in /etc/rc.conf: #ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.19 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" Exactly the same results. I have no idea how to manually set up FreeBSD to use specific DNS addresses. Please help.

Well, unless you've got some customised PAM stuff, I think you should probably replace your /etc/pam.conf with the one from the 4.6 release CD. You should be able to copy it right off the live filesystem disk, or you can download it from: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/Attic/pam.conf?rev=1.6.2.13&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_6_0_RELEASE You should also look into updating /etc/ssh/sshd_config, which you can get from your installation media or you can download it here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/crypto/openssh/sshd_config?rev=1.4.2.8&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_6_0_RELEASE If you're still having problems after doing that, a good trick is to run the sshd server with debug flags on an alternate port --- sshd will often be more informative then ssh about why it's refusing to authenticate. In one window, run (as root): sshd -D -d -d -d -p 24 then in another window run: ssh -p 24 -v -v -v localhost (where 24 is just an arbitrary choice of port number that most systems don't have anything listening on. Pick a different port if necessary). Because of the -D flag, the sshd process won't daemonize and it will quit once the ssh process has finished. > So it appears that authentication is the hangup.

Yes. Doing an upgrade from the CD Roms can be a bit fraught. The process will upgrade all the binaries and so forth perfectly well, but it's handling of your configuration files --- essentially anything in /etc --- leaves quite a bit to be desired. What you may end up having to do is a file by file comparison of a standard /etc directory from a 4.6 CD with your own /etc directory and then try to do some sort of manual merge of any significant changes. It can often be a lot easier just to do a fresh install over the top of your current system, and then add back in the customisations you've made over time. If you can remember what they are. What I personally find to be the easiest and smoothest way of getting a system up to date is to go the whole cvsup, buildworld/installworld route. Sure, it may sound daunting to the novice and it takes time to download the sources and it takes disk space and CPU cycles to compile it all, but the whole thing is really a lot easier that it sounds. It's only about half a dozen commands plus running mergemaster(8) --- and mergemaster is really the key to successful upgrading. In my humble opinion, a lot easier than doing a binary upgrade. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for detailed instructions, and look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html for everything you ever wanted to know about cvsup, but were afraid to ask.

I like it because it's rules are easier to read, and it has a lot of nice monitoring tools that allow you to monitor the firewall state in real time. Not to mention that the whole thing, nat and firewall, is in the kernel. With ipfw and natd, packets have to be passed in and out of userland, causing context switches... This doesn't really cause a big performance issue for most people though, I've only seen problems on HUGE configurations. So basically (my opinion): ipfilter is easier to configure, easier to see stats for, and keeps packets in the kernel.

four domains one router, make local dns server tell internet local-lan ip for each domain
I think that pretty much sums it up. I have four domains, im currently running a dns server for internet traffic, and another for my own lan. I want for example, www.unixhideout.com to take you to 192.168.1.30 and I want www.unixhideout.net to take you to 192.168.1.40 Currently they all point to my gateway IP is this possible to do if so how? sagacious (Mike) Network administrator The unixhideout network http://www.unixhideout.com

Re: XFree86 runs as root but not as user!
uhm. ok. the wrapper allows users to get around a hurdle, yes. it enables them to run an suid binary without giving the users themselves suid permissions. the whole point is to improve security, as opposed to your solution of changing permissions on the X binary itself. and not every package has a manpage. if you want to know what a package is, look at its description file. /usr/ports/x11/wrapper/pkg-descr. and download the code and look at it. it's a very small app. and for the record, 'rehash' won't do anything to help you load manpages. -Adam >> (07.25.2002 @ 1311 PST): Peter Leftwich said, in 1.8K: << > On Thu, 25 Jul 2002, Adam Weinberger wrote: > > have you installed /usr/ports/x11/wrapper? -Adam > > Isn't there also an Xwrapper binary?

Does anybody have a clue as to why the "DirectoryIndex" directive would get ignored in Apache? I have a line that says DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm But only index.html files are being loaded automatically. Worse, if I specify http://www.url.com/index.htm it gives me a file not found error message. It looks like it's configured to ignore index.htm completely but for the life of me I can figure out where. ---Marius To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

VPN between 2 FreeBSD servers
Hello, Can anyone point me in the right direction of a tutorial on setting up a VPN between 2 FreeBSD 4.6 servers. I cannot find much in the handbook or on search engines, although I have found references to either PPTP or vpnd. Cheers for your help.

Once removed, I didn't get any more errors. Glad you solved it, but that cant be the problem in my case. My network looks something like this: Internet <-> fxp0|FBSD|dc1 <-> Switch <-> Bunch of win machines Still, somehow, the FBSD complains that some of the ips assigned to the win machines replys on fxp0 when it should be on dc1. The FBSD was installed somewhere around 3.0, and has since been cvsuped and upgraded and is today 4.6, and the errors have been there all the time. But, as I said, everything works so I dont really notice them anymore. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

On my mail server(FreeBSD4.6) whenever I type the command 'ps ax' I get the error 'bad name list'. This is the first time I have gotten this msg. I have qmail installed and yesterday I wanted to add a function to qmail that would log all incoming an outgoing emails. So I had to recompile qmail, I did this by going into my '/usr/ports/mail/qmail/' directory added the changes to my extra.h file then did a 'make deinstall' then a 'make reinstall'. Since then I have been getting this error. What did I wrong and how can I fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can always find something wrong. I use FreeBSD because it handles source in a consistent manner, i.e., cvsup and one source (VERY IMPORTANT), and ipfw for a firewall. I could probably use Darren's program but got started on ipfw. What other OS can you exchange email with the developer and get a solution to a problem in 15 minutes. The fix is also available to everyone in the world at the same time. The first bug I found in Windows 98 was 6 months before I had a fix. I beta tested NT and its versions and problems on my systems were fixed before it was released.

NAT with Three NICs
I'm fairly new to FreeBSD coming from a linux background. My problem is probably simple, but I'm having a hard time with it. I have four boxes, one FreeBSD that acts as a gateway/NAT router/Firewall, a Windows2k workstation, and two old Mac workstations. Being unable to afford a 10/100 hub right now, I'm stuck with a 10 hub and 10/100 cards in both the freebsd and windows machines. So I thought I could just simply connect those two via crossover so I could get 100 on the ones I use the most, and stick a 10 card in the freebsd machine to connect to the hub and the old Macs that both have simple 10 cards. I would assign the 10 card in the freebsd machine a different submask and call it a day. It doesn't seem to be that simple. For some reason, my packets are being routed perfectly from the W2k machine to the internet and back, but the macs are not reachable from either the FreeBSD box or the W2k box. They cannot get out either. I'm wondering, what do I have to do to get the FreeBSD machine to route packets from both dc0 (100) and ed0 (10) through rl0 (which is connected to my cablemodem, DHCP) and back again, as well as route traffic around the local network?

Hm. It shouldn't, since linux_base and linux_base-6 are different ports. Unless you had the RH6 version of linux_base, then installed linux_base-6, then upgraded linux_base to the RH7 version.
