Help! Broken libc!
I believe that one of my machines has a hardware problem that occasionally corrupts disk writes. As luck would have it, I also suspect that my /usr/lib/libc.so.4 became corrupt during my last buildworld a few days ago. I now get 'internal compiler errors' whenever I try to compile any program with g++. I compared the md5 hashes of various system files to those of another 4.7-RC machine I updated at about the same time. The libc.so.4 hash is different, so I suspect it may be the source of my problem. It also appears that replacing this file is somewhat non-trivial. When I attempt to remove the file, I get an "Operation not permitted," probably because it's linked to a ton of running programs. Is there even a way to replace this file? -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

All of the 4.x PRERELEASE, RC1, RC2 and STABLE versions all derive from the RELENG_4 cvs branch. (RC1, RC2 are just snapshots of the tree at certain times). 4.7-RELEASE will be similarly generated from the RELENG-4 branch, but instead of taking a snapshot, a new branch RELENG_4_7 will be created.

You can create your own version of the skeleton directory containing you own customised version of configuration files and use that as an alternative: pw useradd -n newuser -m -k /usr/local/share/skel ... or adduser -dotdir /usr/local/share/skel ...

(httpd for example) Daemons that are added through the package or ports system will have start/stop scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d or /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d which you can use for that purpose: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh stop Note: you need to type the whole path, as shown. Note2: many ports/packages will install sample startup files as eg. 'spamd.sh-dist' which you are expected to customize and copy to 'spamd.sh' in order to have that service start up automatically on reboot. For daemons that are supplied as standard with the system and are started from the /etc/rc.* scripts, generally you manage them by using kill(1) to send signals of various types to the process. Most daemons will create a pid file in /var/run so, for example, to make syslogd(8) re-read it's configuration file: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` Unfortunately, there is no standardized method to do this, and certain daemons do things their own way. Read the man pages and search through the startup scripts /etc/rc.* --- particularly /etc/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/rc.conf --- for clues. sendmail(8) can be controlled through the Makefile in /etc/mail --- cd /etc/mail make restart and named(8) has a special controlling program ndc(8) (for bind-8.3.3 as bundled with the system.

(I > commented in pam, but still ask me skey passwd) In general, if a user account has had an opie password set via opiepasswd(1), and thus there is an appropriate entry in the /etc/opiekeys file (opiekeys(5)) then the user will be required to use opie one time passwords for any login. Pretty much everything now respects the setting in /etc/pam.conf, so you can control things that way. Additionally, there is a setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (sshd_config(5)) which can be used to disable PAM authentication (and hence opie): # Change to no to disable PAM authentication #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes (uncomment and change to 'no' if that's what you want to do). > sendmail is running, but i can't send or recive mail, > never mind if i use the default sendmail.cf or i > modify it. what can i do?

In your ~/.cshrc or ~/.shrc or ~/.bashrc (or the appropriate file for which ever shell you use), set up an alias: alias ls ls -G (csh-alikes) or alias ls="ls -G" (sh, bash) You should then get a colourized ls for every shell you start after doing that.

Copy the good version of the libc.so.4 file onto your broken machine using a different filename: scp goodmachine:/usr/lib/libc.so.4 /usr/lib/libc.so.4.good Shut your machine down, and then boot up to single user mode, and move the bad file out of the way and the good file into place. This file is marked immutable using chflags(1) so depending on what security level you run at, you may need to be in single user to do anything. It's a good idea to go to single user whenever when you're fiddling with something so vital to the system: shutdown -r now [...] cd /usr/lib chflags -0 libc.so.4 mv libc.so.4 libc.so.4.bad mv libc.so.4.good libc.so.4 chmod 444 libc.so.4 chown root:wheel libc.so.4 chflags schg libc.so.4 and then immediately reboot.

Re: samba server as a PDC
As a small Thank-You for all your help a little bit of
information I found during reading manuals:
If you whish to delete user's profiles automagically from your
local machines after user logged off:
Open
regedt32.exe
and set
HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
\WinLogon\DeleteRoamingCache
to 1 (Data Type REG_SZ).
I think this is very useful on networks with few machines and
many users - it will prevent them from using old profiles lying
around on some local machine.
Regards,
Uli.

Furthermore, the serial number has got nothing to do with the date, even though many people use the date for it. So there is no such thing as a "valid serial for today". The serial is just a number. You can as well start with "1" and increase by 1 each time you change it, independent of the date. The only thing that's _really_ important is that you never decrease the number, and never overflow the (signed) 32bit range. Otherwise, secondary servers will not accept any changes in your zone. There's a special procedure involved to fix such a problem; it's described in RFC 1912, I think. Bye the way, RFC 1912 is definitely recommended reading for anybody who operates a name server or who is responsible for zone files.

port forwarding with ppp & natd
Hi all, I have been through all the documentation I can find, and I still haven't found a definitive answer to my question about port forwarding with a ppp connection. I have a DSL that uses PPPOE, so the system is connected using PPP. I need to forward ports from the server to internal systems (natd ips). PPP filters don't seem to be able to port forward, e.g. redirect 192.168.1.5:9090 9090 (natd rule). From what I have seen, it looks like natd can be used to nat a ppp connection. I am currently using the -nat connection with PPP. When I try natd with a -n tun0, the internal client dont have a connection. When I try natd with -n xl0, I get an error about the card can't be used. I understand why I get these errors, so I wondering how to get natd to work with ppp. Or if its even possible to use ppp filters or ipfw to accomplish the goal of forwarding packets from a specific external port to an internal machine.

Heh, RFC 1912 (and the others) are definitely recommended reading for anybody who operates the BIND name server, because these RFCs are very BIND specific. BIND is not DNS just like Sendmail is not SMTP. Your advice was actually very much to the point, Janine obviously runs BIND.

All white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution and infact to his political party members and my father though black was the treasury of the farmers association and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support the president idea.

Bourne shell redirection of STDOUT
Hi,
I wonder if anyone know a way to redirect the STDOUT directly to a variabel
in a shellscript w/o using tempfile.
I know I can use a tempfile but I'm looking for a way to avoid using a file.
in other words
Does anyone have an alternative to this? I would like to be able to run
this script read-only :
#!/bin/sh
DIALOG=${DIALOG=/usr/bin/dialog}
dialog --inputbox "Hitme" 8 40 \
2> /tmp/tempfile
myvar=`cat /tmp/tempfile`

[FreeBSD Help Documentation] Where can I find these....?
In the past I've used some Linux distributions (programming in C++,etc..), but now I want to install and use the FreeBSD 4.6 operating system. Now I want to do some questions: 1. I'm looking for: the official FreeBSD 4.6 front and back cd-cover, so I will finish my "large" download I'll print them (is it a good idea?) and a large image of the FreeBSD symbol (red diabolus with fork??) 2. More important than precedent questions: Where I can download the full FreeBSD Handbook that will be my bible (I haven't always a broad-band connection so I cannot read this via web, but locally. Is it also available in HTML and PDF format?) ??

Would it make sense to use snippets from sendmail.mc in RFC 2821? RFCs should document protocols, configuration guides covering specific programs should be stored elsewhere.

In addition to what the other poster said about the zone file being the problem, it's important to understand that there is no "valid serial for today". The use of that serial format is a common convention, but has absolutely no significance to the named. What it cares about is that the serial number be increasing. So if you were trying random numbers in the last field, that won't work either. They need to be increasing, whether sequentially or not.

Aha. You're not redirecting stdout, you want stderr, and backticks
will only get stdout (which you don't want, as it is used to present
the dialog). Here are two possible solutions:
1) Swap stdout and stderr:
myvar=`$DIALOG --inputbox "Hitme" 8 40 9>&1 1>&2 2>&9`
2) Since dialog will require a tty anyway, let it talk directly
to /dev/tty, and redirect stderr to stdout:
myvar=`$DIALOG --inputbox "Hitme" 8 40 2>&1 >/dev/tty`

passwordless scp and cronjobs
A few months ago, I had a cron job scp a file to another box within my lan. It worked great and things were good. I dont remember why I turned it off, but Im trying to set it back up. Both boxes are running FBSD 4.6.2-Release. On the sending box -> 1. ssh-keygen -t rsa //Accept the defaults and leave the passphrase empty. 2. scp id_rsa.pub sys_dev@hivemind: //SCP the public key over to the recieving box to the user who is going to recieve the file from the cron job. On the recieving box -> 1. cp id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys // Copy the sender's public key to .ssh/authorized_keys From the sending box, I run my script using the -v option to scp to be verbose.

If it is hardware, doing something more strenuous with your system like cvsup'ing the latest ports or doing a buildworld will probably pick it up. As for installing cvsup, you can grab the latest build of the csup package by doing: fetch ftp://ftp.dk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/cvsup.tgz The package file 'cvsup.tgz' itself is simply a compressed tar file which you can feed directly to pkg_add. If that fails, you can extract the cvsup binary from the package using tar: happy-idiot-talk:/tmp:% tar -ztvf cvsup.tgz -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 950 Sep 24 17:05 2002 +CONTENTS -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 73 Sep 24 17:05 2002 +COMMENT -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 718 Sep 24 17:05 2002 +DESC -r--r--r-- root/wheel 7457 Sep 24 17:05 2002 +MTREE_DIRS -rw-r--r-- root/wheel 1844 Sep 24 17:05 2002 man/man1/cvpasswd.1.gz -rw-r--r-- root/wheel13279 Sep 24 17:05 2002 man/man1/cvsup.1.gz -rw-r--r-- root/wheel10898 Sep 24 17:05 2002 man/man8/cvsupd.8.gz -rwxr-xr-x root/wheel 552620 Sep 24 17:05 2002 bin/cvpasswd -rwxr-xr-x root/wheel 2247108 Sep 24 17:05 2002 bin/cvsup -rwxr-xr-x root/wheel 890916 Sep 24 17:05 2002 sbin/cvsupd -r--r--r-- root/wheel 1635 Sep 24 17:05 2002 share/cvsup/License happy-idiot-talk:/tmp:% tar -zxvf cvsup.tgz bin/cvsup bin/cvsup You can use that binary, even though it isn't officially "installed" to update your ports tree and system sources, which should get you a long way towards a properly working machine: /tmp/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.dk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /tmp/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.dk.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

All the 4-stable packages on the ftp sites should have been replaced by the .tgz versions for RC2 now. I guess the only .tbz packages you're going to find will be ones for 5-CURRENT, and they're no good to you. However, you could try downloading the .tgz packages from the ftp sites, and recompressing them: fetch fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/foo.tgz gzcat foo.tgz | bzip2 -c > foo.tbz pkg_add foo.tbz Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Still many shutdown scripts include > "sync ; sync ; sync" as a mantra. That should not have any effect. At least on FreeBSD. Maybe people are used to the sync command if they come from Linux, where it might be more important because of the fragile filesystems (ext2 async by default). > 'man rc' says just: "The scripts within each directory are executed > in lexicographical order." I know the source IS the doc, but it is so > slow way to find something, when you don't know what your looking for. The manpage seems to be a bit lacking in that case. The scripts are indeed executed in _reverse_ lexico- graphical order during shutdown (which makes sense, I think). Another important thing which is not clearly documented (as far as I know) is the fact that the scripts will NOT be executed when you use halt(8) or reboot(8). They will only be executed when you use shutdown(8) (without the -o option) or init(8), or when sending a signal to the running instance of init(8) to bring down the system. > > umount -f -A > > mount -u -o ro / > > mount -o ro /usr > > OK. Any need for 'mount -f -u -o ro /' ? (The -f forces the switch to > ro even if files are open for writing) Yes indeed. I suggest the following: mount -u -o ro / || mount -f -u -o ro / So it will first try to re-mount it normally, and only if that fails, retry it "the hard way". > Is there any reason to signal the system daemon processes (syslog, > sshd, adjkrntz & co)? Good question. They will be killed anyway during shutdown. On the other hand, some daemons might want to do some clean-up work which requires writing someting somewhere, so it's probably a good idea to give them a chance to do that. This is what init does when terminating multi-user operation. Something like this: trap "" 15 kill -TERM -1 sleep 10# give them some time to finish cleaning up There is no need to send a SIGKILL (-9) afterwards, because the processes will die anyway, later in the game. And since it is not possible to trap SIGKILL, they cannot bind any clean-up actions to that signal anyway. > The Linux scripts do this with killall5. It sends a signal to all > processes except the processes in its own session, so it won't > kill the shell that is running the script it was called from. If you put the above at the end of /etc/rc.shutdown, the "trap" command will protect the shell. The parent of the shell is init(8) itself, which is never affected by a kill of -1, as well as processes which are marked as "system" processes (e.g. swapper, pagedaemon, vinum). > > That's documented in /usr/src/sbin/init/init.c. > > :-] "The source IS the doc" > > I studied /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c but I couldn't find where > the scripts were called. It is init calling the scripts and then > calling kern_shutdown. To be more exact: When init(8) receives a shutdown signal, it runs the /etc/rc.shutdown script, which in turn executes all the local start/stop scripts as explained above. When the scripts are done (I think up to a maximum of 120 seconds), init kills all processes -- first with SIGTERM, and if there are still some left after some time, with SIGKILL. Afterwards, init(8) either enters single-user mode or gives control to the reboot(2) system call, depending on which signal it got in the first place. At this point, it does not care anymore if any reluctant processes are still left, because they will never be scheduled again, because the kernel will never return from the reboot(2) system call. It finally syncs and unmounts all remaining file systems and brings the hardware down.

DHCP/network problems when installing, dhclient "returns statusof 2"
Hello all. I looked at the lists and this (unfortunately) looked to be the most relevant list to post to. If there is a more focused list (for networking, say), please direct me to it. Thanks! Otherwise I've been googling all over trying to find out what the status of dhclient means and coming up with nothing. My setup is a little bit weird: I have a FreeBSD machine currently serving happily. It is also configured to act as a basic firewall so my laptop can access the Internet. Usually, I just use static settings on my laptop to communicate between the server and the laptop. I just recently got the DHCP server going, and all is well. Laptop (Mac OS9.2.2, Open Transport 2.7.9) works A-OK, discover, offer, request, acknowledge are all great... Currently, I am trying to install (using FTP) FreeBSD on a *different* machine, one that should communicate just like my laptop, but I get nothing. Sysinstall DHCP server-scan times out and I get the regular network configuration screen. If I enter my data in as best I can (what is the host/domain supposed to be? I'm using urbanpush.com since that's what the frontline FreeBSD box is serving, but the new backline machine doesn't have an hostname or anything. I expect that the frontline doesn't know how to address the backline? Can I use an IP, namely what I want the backline machine to be? I tried that and still no go) I have this: SETTINGS: Host: hilary.urbanpush.com Domain: urbanpush.com IPv4 Gateway: 10.0.0.1 // IP of frontline machine ie. Router Name Server: 129.128.5.233 // the one I always use IPv4 Address: 10.0.0.2 // IP I want this machine to be on local network Netmask: 255.0.0.0 // Class A type network No extra ifconfig options... ALT-F2 DEBUG LOG OUTPUT: During DHCP try I get this: Notify: Scanning for DHCP servers... Executing command 'dhclient -1 fxp0' //fxp0 -> ethernet device address Command 'dhclient -1 fxp0' returns status of 2 To note, the frontline box (dhcpd) does not display any DHCP-related messages during this attempt. After I try to configure it manually (with above settings) I get this: Wrote out /etc/resolv.conf Wrote out /etc/hosts Init routine called for network device fxp0 ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 Executing command 'ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0' Command 'ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0' returns status of 0 // I assume that's good Adding default route to 10.0.0.1 Executing command 'route -n add default 10.0.0.1' add net default 10.0.0.1 Command 'route -n add default 10.0.0.1' returns status of 0 // I assume that's also good Network initialized successfully. // Yay! hostname = 'ftp.freebsd.org' // The FTP server I chose dir = '/' port # = '21' Notify: Looking up host ftp.freebsd.org. Starting DNS. Looking up hostname, ftp.freebsd.org, using getaddrinfo(AI_NUMERICHOST). Looking up hostname, ftp.freebsd.org, using getaddrinfo(). And then it just sits there. After I hit the OK, the ethernet's LEDs flash a couple times and then nothing. It doesn't timeout, it doesn't stop. It seems like my Name Server is not responding, but I've never had a problem with that one before. I think I will soon take the box to work and jack into a real network, where I know I have a host name and everything, but I still like to know if anyone has any ideas, for future reference. Terribly sorry about the length. Thought I should give you as much info as I could. Thanks in advance for any advice/info you might be able to offer.

No. The DHCP request times out and gives me a blank network configuration screen. These numbers are the values I use when I select a static IP on my laptop, which also works fine.

To whom it may concern, My name is Craig and I am in the process of forming a non-profit organization that takes old computers (286's etc...), setting them up for email, word processing, internet browsing, spread sheets, and them giving them to people who can't afford computers.

Thank you, Craig To do that in a 286 is possible (except for internet browsing). I used Coherent from Mark William Co.

RAID Stripe Size Question
I was reading an article at Anandtech the other day that said stripe size couldn't be changed for the Promise onboard RAID controller in the ASUS A7V333 motherboard (PDC20276 - it's an ATA133 controller) , and they didn't like the performance at the only available stripe size setting, 64KB. They showed tests indicating better transfer rate performance with RAID controllers set at a 512KB stripe size. I have the A7V333 motherboard, and the article leaves me with some questions: 1. Is a 64KB stripe size sub-optimum for such things as making world, compiling and installing large ports, etc.? Is there a more optimal setting or range of settings? 2. Is atacontrol capable of setting stripe size? If so, what would be the correct command syntax?

Sure. You can hit 'l' (for 'limit') and enter a regexp. I save all my incoming mail to ~/Mailbox and customarily type things like the following in Mutt's index: ~F ~N !~T !~s 'commit: ' ~N ~s 'commit: doc/' to limit the messages that are displayed. There are lots and lots of limiting ~X things that you can use; even regular expression matching in the body of the message: ~b 'manpage' will limit the displayed messages to those that contain the word "manpage" in the message body. For a detailed listing of all the possible limiting expressions look in the mutt manual: /usr/local/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt Giorgos.

I use the word "standardize" in both a figurative and literal sense. Right now they are migrating from Mandrake to Debian and it has been a long and arduous change. Further, it appears to me that virtually nothing is consistent between the two distros. The little I knew about Mandrake can now safely be tossed out the window as I try vainly to learn the new Debian way of doing things. I volunteer in the build area, so I don't deal as much with the software as I do the hardware. Thus I am able to get by with a minimal amount of Linux knowledge, and I make up for the rest with common *nix knowledge. However, I will say that I'm always glad to learn something new and I hope that what I learn from Mandrake and/or Debian will be useful at some point. In a broader sense, I enjoy volunteering at FreeGeek, as I'm always learning some interesting new tid-bit - whether it be hardware or software. To top it off, I generally feel good about they work they doing down there and the part that I play in the organization. Re: the storage room - yes, it is a very interesting place to poke around and if you were ardent enough about (old) hardware you could preen a few fun toys from the recycling area.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
Let me resolve that one. I am on the Bell Atlantic network. I do have to use PPOE, and Alexander's configurations were right on the money. I had a little bit of a hiccup with configuration of the nic because I didn't realize it would be ok for it to be configured without an IP. Now it looks like everything works fine. Now to get all my startup scripts working with PPPoE. I have a number of things that have to be done based on the IP, netmask, broadcast address (which I can't seem to find in the ifconfig output) and it all has to be automatic and smooth when the IP changes. I've also noticed that I can't seem to send to the FreeBSD server for some reason. It may be because the verizon IP doesn't resolve. I don't know. I guess I need to tweak the sendmail config.

Installing nVidia drivers
I'd like to install drivers for 3D acceleartion and such for my nVidia GForce 2 card. I've read several sites that point me in different places for the drivers themselves, and nVidia's site has "Linux displayer drivers", "graphics drivers", and "platform drivers". Exactly what software do I need? How do I install it? Are there any sites that have correct information about doing it in FreeBSD and not Linux? I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 and XFree86 4.2.
