Re: grub boot loader or freebsd boot loader
Gary W. Swearingen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to see people support and develop the FreeBSD boot loader or some other loader with a decent license. The combination of the GPL'd GRUB (or GAG) boot loader and the kernel is too likely to be considerd by some judge or jury as a derivative of both parts which is sufficiently unworthy of any of the GPL's nebulous excape clauses to avoid partial or even total infection. (Especially when a dangerously-dedicated-disk install is considered.) Why would you want to install a bootmanager on a dangerously- dedicated disk? Apart from that, dangerously-dedicated has been deprecated, AFAIK. The kernel can certainly not be considered a derivative of any bootloader; they don't have anything in common, neither do they share any code. Remember that you can boot FreeBSD from the NT boot loader, for example, which isn't even open source and certainly has a more restrictive license than GRUB. (Microsoft certainly didn't have supporting Linux or BSD in mind when they created their boot loader, while FreeBSD is even mentioned in the GRUB documentation, IIRC). I'd be much more concerned about other GPL'ed parts of the base system.

Re: burncd error
Kevin Oberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I suspected that both -allow-lowercase and -allow-multidot were implicit in -r, but I had never actually tried it. No, they're not implicit, but they're not necessary either. Let me explain ... Standard ISO9660 filesystems have several limitations. For example, every filename has a maximum length of 31 characters (even though it's common to use only 8+3 because of old DOS- compatibility), only upper-case letters, numbers and under- scores, there must be exactly one dot (which must not be the first character of the name), a non-empty filename extension (after that dot), and a non-empty version number. Also note that ISO9660 does not support some of the standard UNIX UFS features, such as permission modes, ownership etc. There are several options to mkisofs that cause it to ignore some of those restrictions. This usually works most of the time, but might not work with an operating system (or other software) that enforces strict ISO9660 conformance. These options include -allow-lowercase, -allow-multidot, -d, -D, -L, -N, -relaxed-filenames, -U, -no-iso-translate. However, when you use the -R or -r option to create a rock- ridge extension, you actually have a second directory hierarchy laid over the existing ISO9660 directory hierachy (this is somewhat simplified, but the net effect is just that). Basically that means that, if you mount the CD with a rockridge-capable operating system (such as FreeBSD), you don't see the ISO9660 filenames at all, but only the rock- ridge filenames. Obviously, there is no restriction on the filenames in the rockridge extension, as it was specifically designed to store information for UNIX filesystems, including permissions and ownerships. The above-mentioned options (-allow-lowercase etc.) don't have any effect on the rock- ridge extension. Conversely, if you mount the CD with a non-rockridge-capable system (such as DOS), you only see the ISO9660 filenames with all of their limitations, possibly relaxed by the above- mentioned options (provided that it works, as those options produce non-standard CDs). If you expect emergency cases where you must be able to read a rockridge CD with DOS but still be able to reconstruct the real filenames somehow, mkisofs offers the -T option. It creates a simple text file called TRANS.TBL in every directory which contains a mapping between the ISO9660 filenames and the rockridge filenames, one per line. You can even go a step further and let mkisofs create Joliet and Apple (HFS) extensions on the CD. You will then have four different kinds of directory descriptions on the CD for the same content. The cool thing is that every operating system picks the one most suitable for itself. The remarkable thing was actually, that when I used the wrong option, mkisofs says it doesn't recognise the option, quits the program, and returns to the prompt in my xterm, but now my xterm shows up with unrecognisable characters (normally for me: root@hostname, now something like: %^(%^%(%^()_)_*). Did I hit a bug? Indeed, it sounds like a bug. It seems that cdrecord fails to send the proper reset/init termcap sequences in that particular case, so the terminal is left in some unusual state. Actually I'm surprised that mkisofs would use termcap control sequences anyway. It doesn't really need to, IMO. BTW, you can manually reset an xterm by pointing your mouse pointer inside it, then press (and hold) the Ctrl key, then press the middle mouse button. This causes an xterm menu to pop up. Select full reset from that menu. Also, typing reset, tput reset init and/or stty sane might help in some situations. If the terminal settings are seriously broken so that the enter key doesn't work anymore, use Ctrl-J instead of enter (you might even have to type the command blindly if the terminal echo was turned off).

Re: Thingie #2 - system upgrade methods.
Kevin Stevens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When there is a point release of -STABLE, there seem to be several methods for doing a binary upgrade, but none seem to fit my preference, and I wanted to post and see if I'm missing something. [...] First of all, there are ways to do what you want, but they might not be suitable for newbies, because there are more things that could break if you don't know exactly what you are doing. What I've been doing is downloading the boot floppies for the release, booting from it/them, and selecting binary upgrade via FTP. Once this is done things go rather smoothly. But it does require that I have a floppy drive installed and physical access to the console, which isn't always expedient. What I'd prefer to do is to get the whole floppy creation process out of the mix. You could download the release manually with an FTP mirror program (such as /usr/ports/ftp/omi), for example: # omi -s ftp.freebsd.org -r /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE \ -l /usr/local/tmp/4.7-RELEASE (-s specifies the server, -r the remote directory, -l the local directory which is the target of mirroring. Of course there should be enough free space.) The release consists of a bunch of subdirectories (bin, man, doc etc.), each of which contains a simple shell script called install.sh. You can simply run those shell scripts, one after another, in single user mode to perform a binary update. You don't have to use sysinstall at all. However, doing that will OVERWRITE some files in /etc, /var and elsewhere. Therefore you must make a backup before. (The upgrade won't touch /usr/local, /home or any other parts which are not part of the base system, but it never hurts to have a backup of them anyway.) A good idea is probably to make a backup of /etc, restore it afterwards, and then run mergemaster (make sure that you also have /usr/src updated). Mergemaster will also take care of running MAKEDEV in /dev in case any device nodes have changed. What I don't understand is why it isn't possible to simply download the newrev version of sysinstall, and run *that* on the current system, You _can_ do that. Sysinstall is on the second floppy (mfsroot.flp). You have to mount the floppy image (you don't need a physical floppy disk, since you can use vnconfig(8) to mount a filesystem image file). It contains the MFS-root filesystem, which you have to copy, uncompress and mount in turn. Then you can copy sysinstall from it. # vnconfig -c vn0 mfsroot.flp # mount -o ro /dev/vn0c /mnt # cp /mnt/mfsroot.gz . # umount /mnt # vnconfig -u vn0 # gunzip mfsroot.gz # vnconfig -c vn0 mfsroot # (no .flp!) # mount -o ro /dev/vn0c /mnt # cp /mnt/stand/sysinstall . # umount /mnt # vnconfig -u vn0 # rm mfsroot But again, that's not a standard procedure, and it is particularly not recommended for newbies. If something breaks, you 're pretty much on your own. Also, it is always a good thing to have access to the system console. You don't necessarily have to be present in front of the machine, as it is possible to access the console remotely via a serial connection (COM1) using a terminal server or a modem.

Re: XDMCP -- FreeBSD / Solaris -- will this work?????
On Fri, Oct 04, 2002 at 07:32:33PM +, Weston M. Price wrote: I have question regarding the nature of XDMCP. What I would like to do is sit down at my FreeBSD workstation and have the option of logging into my Solaris machine or my FreeBSD machine via XDMCP. I use KDE 3.0.3 as my desktop manager and I can login to my FreeBSD machine via the Solaris machine but not the other way around. I am not really sure if I am even trying to do something remotely possible. I mean, I would think it would should be viable because I can go one way, but not the other. I know that this question is not necessarily germane to this list, however, if anyone has this sort of configuration I would appreciate any help you can provide. XFree86 supports XDMCP, but the FreeBSD ports disable that functionality on security grounds. The principal objection is that a remote X session (as obtained through XDMCP, for example) allows all sorts of potentially sensitive data across the network in plain text --- it's at least as snoopable as using telnet(1). The preferred method of remote X display is by tunnelling through ssh(1), but that doesn't permit the sort of remote login you're talking about. To re-enable the XDMCP functionality, you need to be running a display manager (xdm(1) or kdm(1)) and you need to edit some config files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. This describes what you need to modify to make things work with xdm(1) --- I assume that kdm(1) would be pretty similar if that's what you're using. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess You need to uncomment one of the CHOOSER lines as shown in the comments in the file. The most convenient and least secure option is: * CHOOSER BROADCAST /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config Comment out the last line to make the X server listen out for XDMCP broadcasts. Now, logout and restart your X server --- Ctr-Alt-Bksp from the console usually does the trick. You should see a chooser window, rather than the usual login screen. Note: be sure that your X server is configured to listen for network connections, or this won't have a hope of working. 'netstat -a' or 'fstat | grep X' should show that the X server is listening on port 6000. (startx(1) turns off listening on network ports by default. xdm(1) leaves that on --- you can turn this off for xdm(1) by adding '-nolisten tcp' to the end of the :0 line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers). Note also: You should keep backups of your customised files: if you update your XFree86-clients port, it has a nasty tendency to wipe out your modifications without asking.

It's very helpful when upgrading the 18 odd workstations we have in our computer labs, too. I know there may be pitfalls in this type of mass install but, so far, I've been bitten by very few bugs. Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT What sort of pitfalls could be expected? The reason this issue has come up for me is I've been working on getting a diskless workstation going. The diskless workstation will boot off NICs boot-ROM and will load the kernel compiled on my faster machine, but as soon as the kernel finishes loading the machine just reboots. I can't find documentation anywhere that speaks of problems associated with compiling on one machine and then distributing that kernel to other, possibly heterogenous, machines. It appears that the `make' process somehow factors in machine specific information, exclusive of that in the kernel config file. Is this accurate?

I only have a single drive to begin with, but I would like to partition it in such a way that will allow for easy upgrading in the future (ie. adding additional web storage). The comment from the STRIPING DISKS section made me wonder if I should create a separate, custom partition that points to wherever Apache normally stores its web pages (I realize this can be changed too)? I'd appreciate any other suggestions from those of you who have gone through the motions of setting up a web server from scratch and learned what would have been nice to do differently. They seem to be updating Apache more often right now. If you link to your data, it doesn't disappear when you upgrade Apache.

using PERL on FreeBSD to get data from MS Access... any ideas?
Has anyone successfully been able to work with Microsoft Access database-stored data from PERL on a FreeBSD box? Here's the deal: We've got a rather large Microsoft Access Database, the database is used to keep track of several leagues, their teams and players involved and all stats regarding any of the above. We need to find a way to securely access and display the data about the team/player stats on a per-league basis over the internet. Posting the entire database out onto public domain would allow anyone to download the whole thing and in essence 'steal' all the work done to create the project over the years. This is something that the DB creator obviously doesn't want to happen. Any ideas on how we might be able to create pages on the server-side (FreeBSD/Apache) of the webserver to dynamically display stats and such information to the public? I understand fully what's rewquired on the programming side as far as interfaces/etc, (could do this no problem if the database was in mysql personally). The short version: need to find a server-side solution (prefereably using PERL:DBI) which will allow a CGI application to access a Microsoft Access database. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

adding a path to gcc to find #include something.h type includes
Hi, I grabbed the prc-tools development environment for the palmos. The problem is the palm has a bunch of its own header files and a lot of code includes them in the #includethefile.h type of include. But the files live in the palmdev folder, but gcc doesn't look there by default of course. I tried to play with the -I switch like so gcc -c -I /usr/local/palmdev/ -o Main.o Main.c but that doesn't work. The man page says something about using -I- along with -I to get it to do what I want, but I did not understand the man page. Anyone know what I should do? Is there a way to add the path to gcc itself so that I wouldn't even have to do it each time on the command line? Thanks. Wayne __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: adding a path to gcc to find #include something.h type includes
I installed prc-tools from the ports. I am using freebsd 4.6. so I made a little work directory and downloaded some palm code and tried to compile Main.c as shown below. Main.c has the following includes #include BuildDefines.h #include PalmOS.h I get the error mesagaes Main.c:13: BuildDefines.h: No such file or directory Main.c:17: PalmOS.h: No such file or directory In other words it is not finding the files. But these files are in /usr/local/palmdev/sdk-3.5/include In fact, PalmOS.h and BuildDefines.h include more files that are in /usr/local/palmdev/sdk-3.5/include/Core/ So there are a bunch of header files for palm programming that are based at /usr/local/palmdev/sdk-3.5 and may be stuck even deaper in folders contained in /usr/local/palmdev/sdk-3.5/include/ Seems like there has to be a way to add a search path to gcc to look for included files that are of the type #include thefile.h. It would be a pain if I had to manually put all the needed files into /usr/include. Hope this is enough info. Let me know if you need more. Thanks.

netscape: locale `C' not supported.
Hi, I have tried on and off for about a year to get netscape communicator 4.x running without success. The best I can do is Netscape Gold 3.04 which is ok but not accepted by all sites (in particular some of the Yahoo ones). The error I get is: netscape: locale `C' not supported. If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files, Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this program was linked.) Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place for these files is /usr/X11/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to point at the place where you installed the files. Bus error (core dumped) I have surfed the web for hours trying to find a solution to this problem. I have ktrace'd the process but can't find out what is wrong.

Re: grub boot loader or freebsd boot loader
Oliver Fromme [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Why would you want to install a bootmanager on a dangerously- dedicated disk? Apart from that, dangerously-dedicated has been deprecated, AFAIK. The second sentence is not relevant as DD is still supported, but I shouldn't have added my parenthetical mention of DD. If you're using GRUB or GAG to boot, then you'll need a partition table, so you won't have a DD disk, by definition. (Make it a one-slice install, then.) The kernel can certainly not be considered a derivative of any bootloader; they don't have anything in common, neither do they share any code. Remember that you can boot FreeBSD from the NT boot loader, for example, which isn't even open source and certainly has a more restrictive license than GRUB. (Microsoft certainly didn't have supporting Linux or BSD in mind when they created their boot loader, while FreeBSD is even mentioned in the GRUB documentation, IIRC). Nobody said the kernel would be considered a derivative of any bootloader, but a CD which contains both is a derivative of both. The question is under what conditions the GPL infects the other parts of that derivative CD (or .tgz, etc.), making the publishing of it illegal. (The real question is how confident we are about how certain people might answer the previous question.) There is no question that the loader+kernel forms derivative work; the problem is that people don't/ can't understand what the GPL has to say about escape clauses for particular derivatives works, especially when they use linking, and especially because it makes some kind of sense to find that the loader and kernel are not independent since the GPL uses the word loosely. And remember that you may boot FreeBSD from the NT boot loader, but you'd better not publish a CD containing both. (Nobody says there's a legal problem with using a GPL'd loader locally, but making it part of the core of the distributed OS is too risky.) I'd be much more concerned about other GPL'ed parts of the base system. Why is that not mere aggregation, and allowed by the GPL? (And if you are concerned about that, you shouldn't find it hard to believe that others will be concerned about the loader, even if in error.) (Seeing your TLD, I wonder how software license issues are complicated by the fact that many of the owners of open source software offer their license under non-USA law. And whether the local laws of the licensee AND licensor are involved. Arggh...) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Help with net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen
Can someone help me with net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen tuning? Firstly, its the size of the IP input queue, per the source. So does that mean after the NIC has received the packet, the interupt from the NIC has been processed and the packet retrieved from the NIC, then the packet is placed in this queue, before the IP stack looks at it? i.e. its unrelated to interupt coalescing or polling, or NIC performance, as they have already occurred in order to put the packet into the queue. Yes? I am getting incrementing net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops at around 8,000 pps (increasing drops at rate of 10 or so per second.) Yet, if my statement above about what the queue is, is correct, then it just means that the system was busy doing stuff before it had a chance to process the incoming packets, so there was no room for new ones to enter the queue. But as the system was only 50% busy, then if I increase the input queue, I should be able to avoid these drops, correct? At least until the system gets a lot busier. Is there a sane upper recommended limit to the queue length? Or am I way off base here?

Pardon me sounding a bit offensive, if I did. I meant that there is
no good rule that allows outgoing pings but blocks incoming ones. You
can probably use something that depends on ipfw states, but icmp is
not really good at keeping states and dynamic rules will eat more
resources than simply blocking all icmps.

Mutt and Filters
OK. I am going to try this one last time. I really want to keep using Mutt because it's small, fast and I like console based apps anyways. I am new at this stuff ok. I have asked a couple places on the net many times in the last 2 weeks and still can't get it to work. I am starting over. I want Mutt to Filter out my e-mails into groups. Like for this mailing list I want ALL e-mails sent, and replied to on this list to be sent to a sertain group I dont know maybe called FreeBSD-Questions. When I open Mutt I don't want to see all e-mails in the main window if I have e-mail waiting and already downloaded. I want to see a group called FreeBSD-Questions in the main window where when I highlight it and click enter I will see all e-mails for the mailing list. I have subscribed to a couple others but you get my point. I am using Mutt 1.4 with the default version of Sendmail that comes with FreeBSD 4.6.2, and Fetchmail 6.1.0 . I have like 300+ e-mails a day for many things and I really need to add this feature into Mutt like now. It's driving me crazy. I could switch to something like Sylpheed but I don't need a big GUI apps if I can get the features I want in Mutt. A couple people have told me what to do to get this feature working in Mutt but so far nothing. I need to start over cause someone is forgetting to tell me to do something.

We need to find a way to securely access and display the data about the team/player stats on a per-league basis over the internet. Posting the entire database out onto public domain would allow anyone to download the whole thing and in essence 'steal' all the work done to create the project over the years.

Also you can put a rule in it to use something like spamassassin which will help you filter out spam according to a set of rules. It's in the ports. I don't know how you point sendmail into using procmail since I use a sane MTA called postfix. Basically mutt does not have inbuilt filtering, so you have to use an external agent like procmail.

I have a HP DeskJet 640C and all I have is a usb cable for it. The handbook doesn't discuss usb printing. I came across a thread in the mailing list about using apsfilter to setup a usb printer. Are there any other options to setting up a usb printer?? Is there anything to look for or watch out for that I should be aware of?? (besides making sure I have the correct kernel/device nodes) Thanks for any insight you may provide... I apsfilter is the right way to go - it works ! Read the manual page carefully and you should have no problems. Your printer is in the list of recognised devices (I just checked) .. which does not necessarily mean it will work, but it should do. Just follow the bouncing ball. A few other things, you will of course need usb/usblpt support in your kernel, mine is shown below.. you of course do not need all of these and you may need ohci instead of uhci .. depends on controller .. I don't think it matters if you compile both .. look in LINT. There used to be a typo in SETUP for apsfilter where it refers to a parallel port as the connection even though you chose USB .. just carry on if it is still there .. the whole setup works. Don't forget you will have to give the printer a name so be aware of either using the flag -P to lpr, or export the PRINTER environment variable with the name of the printer (I do this in /etc/profile..which may not be the right place if you have multiple printers/users etc).

Re: contributing applications
please see the Porter's Handbook, available at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html and, manpages are always the way to go, if you're providing documentation. = actually, this thing is a script, less than 500Bytes, so there's no need to make a port i think? also, what format are the man pages done in? are they just ascii text, with bold and underline acceptable? compressed? ...atom Void-If-Detached http://smasher.suspicious.org/fs1r Yamaha FS1R Never have the armies of the North brought peace, prosperity, or democracy to the peoples of Asia, Africa, or Latin America.

mtools eject CD? CD-R?
Is it possible to eject a (mounted or unmounted) CD or DVD from the command line? Does a CD-R have to be specially mounted before using mkisofs or burncd?

usb compact flash card reader issues
Hi, I'm attempting to get a Kodak usb compact flash card reader to mount under FreeBSD (4.7-PRERELEASE).

Event Trigger
Hi. I'm looking for a simple way to implement a trap and trigger so to speak. I'm wanting to setup the system so that the moment it detects a certain event in the system, it immediately executes another script or program to do something else, but not before, not after. I thought about Cron, but the thing is, I don't know when these events will happen so since they're so random, I need something to identify them then immediately run another script or program at that exact moment. Any suggestions? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
/dev/urandom is randomly cool
I was sorting through my /usr/X11R6/bin/startx text-file and noticed: mcookie=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=16 count=1 2/dev/null | hexdump -e \\%08x\\` I started playing around with `cat /dev/urandom` and `head -1 /dev/urandom` so my question is... How can I use the head -1 method and change the output into just [A-Za-z0-9] and no spaces or punctuation? And specify length? -- Peter Leftwich President Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
I screwed up my home KDE files
I did a silly thing - doh! I was working froom the console as su-root, then wanted to do some gui things so withour thinking I entered startx and KDE has never forgiven me sob I rescued one or two essential files where ownership had been changed from myself-wheel to root-wheel, but this was never enough and KDE has become less and less reliable. It stopped holding my preference for 6 desktops, and gave me 4 instead - but when I used Control Centre to change back to 6 that not only worked, but the backgrounds and the apps in all 6 desktops were restored just fine (go figure). It's latest trick is to lose all the KPPP account information. Upgrading from KDE2.2.2.2 to KDE3 hasn't solved the problem. Everything in KDE as root continues to work just fine and I am sending this message from kmail as root (sorry!). Q. How can I rescue the situation and get my own home KDE files back again. I wondered about saving data files, then deleting user-myself, deleting the myself-home directory, then adding user-myself again (and then putting the data files back later). Would FBSD4.6 cough if I deleted a user and then promptly reinstated them? Is there a better way to resolve the problem I have? TIA.

If it's mounted, unmount it first!
If it's unmount, cdcontrol eject will eject the drive (assuming you
have one, otherwise specify the right device.
An unburned cd can't be mounted before it's burned.

Here's the pressing question! I am currently running startx. It isn't
clear if my wm is sawfish or metacity, but one thing is certain: I have no
gnome-panel! Just a background and I can middle-click for a menu :(
Is there a way to run binaries from within an xterm? The DISPLAY variable
becomes a problem, because I don't want the X/GUI app to run within the
terminal of course. I thought `exec gaim` for example would be similar to
Start Run... to run a binary within the x session, no?
Also, `top` shows me that gnome-panel IS running, so why don't I see it?
Hopelessly lost, thanks for any guidance!
