There is no ACPI support in -stable, and -current has only rudimentary
support. However, APM should still function fine for you.

So, yes, you are correct: the controller isn't recognized by FreeBSD.

ports update?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

First I am sorry if here is not the right place to ask it. I am trying to 
update a port but I am having a problem. I am in fact having problems while 
patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. 

#cp -r category/ports category/ports.old
#cd category/ports

#cd /usr/ports/category
#diff -ruN ports.old ports >patch 

I have 2 questions here.
1)I have to remove a directory from my port. How can I do that? I have rm 
 -fr /usr/ports/category/ports/files but it didn't work since patch didn't 
remove that directory. 

2)After patching ports with `patch < patch' i see files with *.orig but I 
think they shouldn't be there. 

I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a 
ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide. 

Thanks for your help.

RE: openoffice 1.0.1

[Tim Kellers]

After having spent many many hours trying to coax FreeBSD OpenOffice 1.0.1
to run, I dropped back, punted, and installed the linux binary.  It works
just deucky, although you have to remember to have the4 linux procfs
mounted, and you need a current linux base 7  ABI installed.

I'm trying to use my i386 based FreeBSD machine as a console on a Sun Netra
X1. I've built a cable with the pinout specified in the Sun manual and
connected it to COM1. When I tip:

tip -v cuaa0c
connected

I get no output. /etc/remote has

cuaa0c|cua0c:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pa=none:

which should be correct.

Any suggestions for debugging the problem?

Replying to my own post for the archives:

It turns out that mounting /tmp 'noexec', while possibly a good idea for
security, is not good for the portion of 'make installworld' that copies
some vital programs to /tmp/install.# and then tries to run the 'make'
contained therein.

Live and learn :-)

You can setup windows to make the freebsd box dial/hangup... But by far the 
best optoin is to use a switch, I just turn the modem on to use it, and off 
to disconnect (:

Another really clever idea however is to have a web page on the FreeBSD box, 
which allows the user to start or stop ppp. So then your default home page 
can have a connect/disconnect icon! (Or even extra functions like shutdown 
and whathaveyou).

will be interesting to see how well it works ... maybe I'll hafta go

Gnome URL Launcher captions?

[Peter Leftwich]

Does anyone know where the "URL Launchers" on my desktop store the caption
text?  I have some ~/.gnome-desktop/urlwINmpc (for example) files but they
only have a URL in them, whereas if you right-click and view the properties
there is a lot of stuff in there.

Where is this "extended" information stored?  In what path, files?? Thanks!

I don't know about your specific question, but you can tell (userland) PPP
to dial only when there is traffic.  This can be accomplished with the
-ddial flag.  That may or may not be what you want to do though.

One other solution ... I know of a guy who had a modem that was always
re-dialing, so he attached a light switch on his phone line, and would
switch it on when he wanted his modem to connect :)

Dual NICs, can only connect to one at time

[Lucky Green]

I have a box with both an external and internal NIC. The external NIC is
connected to an ADSL adapter serving a block of globally routable static
IP addresses while the internal NIC is connected to a hub served by a
NAT/DHCP server. The idea here is that this way the box can offer
different services on the outside vs. the inside. The machine should not
route packets and is not configured as a router.

Unfortunately, with the external NIC enabled, the internal NIC cannot be
pinged from the inside.

A similar setup worked perfectly fine when an USB Ethernet adapter was
used as the internal NIC. Only after switching to a PCI card as the
internal NIC did this problem manifest. (The new card has been tested
and works fine when used by itself).

I am using FreeBSD 4.6.2.

>From rc.conf:
# External static IP via 3COM card
ifconfig_xl0="inet 208.201.229.161  netmask 255.255.255.0"
hostname="cheesy.dhs.org"
defaultrouter="208.201.229.1"

# Internal IP reserved from DHCP pool via D-Link card
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.103 netmask 255.255.255.0"

The above gives an ifconfig of:
2# ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.103 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::205:5dff:fe34:8133%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:05:5d:34:81:33
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active
xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=3
inet 208.201.229.161 netmask 0xff00 broadcast
208.201.229.255
inet6 fe80::250:4ff:fed1:8a4a%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:50:04:d1:8a:4a
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active
[...]

Even though both interfaces are up, 208.201.229.161 cannot be accessed
from the outside. Though 208.201.229.161 can be accessed from the
inside.

Removing xl0 from rc.conf and changing the rl0 config to
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
allows the internal NIC to be pinged.

Just removing xl0 while leaving rl0 in the static configuration caused
both interface to not respond to pings.

For completeness, here is the ifconfig when rl0 is using DHCP:
rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::205:5dff:fe34:8133%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 192.168.1.103 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:05:5d:34:81:33
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
status: active

What am I missing?

Re: A curious dmesg output entry

[Wayne Lubin]

Yeah I do have that driver compiled into my kernel.I
guess that explains why my computer is alway on full
throdle. It will probably blow out in about six months
at this rate.  Well since freebsd does not recognize
my built in power management card, I wonder if someone
makea power management cards separately that are not
integrated on a mother board that freebsd would
recognize. I think the power management stuff is
important because if I am not mistaken it handles all
the standby mode stuff which not only safes power, but
also saves wear and tear.

SMP support in 4.x will use as many as you have, but FreeBSD 4.x does
not make optimal use of extra CPUs and you hit diminishing returns
with more than about 4 CPUs (the SMP support in 4.x has limitations:
only one CPU can execute in the kernel at once).  SMP support is being
dramatically improved in 5.0-CURRENT and will end up being highly
scalable (it's not quite there yet).

You can't use more than 4GB on ia32.

Hi FreeBSD'ers

I am not a hardware expert, so I will ask here about the limits before 
buying a new server.

How many processors can FreeBSD run with?
When will FreeBSD be able to run on ia64?
How many ram (DDR-ram? or what should I use?)
How many hard-disks (not using RAID and with RAID)? (not SCSI disks)
Any recommendations on gigabit NIC's?

PPP

[Wilkinson,Alex]

Hi all,

I have a question related to PPP. I have a FreeBSD -STABLE box set up as a gateway to
a dial up account with Internode.

I have also 2 Windows boxes with the default gateway set to the FreeBSD box.

Question: Is there anyway to set up an Icon on a Windows box that will dial up the
  modem that's hanging off of the FreeBSD gateway.
  [ssh'ing in and running ppp manually is to much of an ask for people that 
want to use
   a computer to actually do work ;-)].

  Has anyone done this before.

I know software has been written for Linux:

Thanks

Re: How to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.7

[Michael Vince]

A cvsup and "make buildworld", "make installworld" will NOT work in 4.3 its
simply to old a version. I had the same problem my self, and its in one of
the errata's and mailing lists that its not possible.
What I did was do buildworld on another machine (A fbsd v4.6 server) and
then tared up the /usr/src and /usr/obj and transferred it to the other
machine which was far away on the internet. If its LAN you just do NFS
export of the /usr/src and /usr/obj dirs and mount them on the 4.3 server.

Then just extract the tarball to /usr/src and /usr/obj and do a make
installworld there from that.
Also I am pretty sure the last ISO for FreeBSD is a fix iso, that has a
prebuild setup on the iso where you can just do a "make installworld" from
the mounted CD onto your 4.3 server.
Don't let any tell you that you can buildworld to 4.7 from 4.3, my situation
was actually from 4.3 to 4.5 or 4.6 actually and that still didn't work,
Like I said its in the errata somewhere.
Also don't skip the "mergemaster" after installworld, your gonna need it :)

Good luck

If you have KDE-3.0.4, qt-3.0.5, kdevelop-2.1.3, and XFree86-4.2.x 
installed, they will all work together. It sounds like you have a lot 
of no longer supported stuff installed.

Obviously, you heard about OpenSSH 3.5 from somewhere...a Google search
would bring up the home page (if you didn't already know it), and 30
seconds later you would have found the release announcement in the
openssh-unix-announce mailing list archive which detailed the changes
between 3.4 and 3.5.  It really SUCKS, however, that they don't have a
CHANGES or Release Notes file in the distribution, or a link to the
announcement available directly from the home page.

Most likely it is an onboard card consult your BIOS (or your MB manual)
and look for an enabled feature, such as audio or video.

This is getting to be a FAQ.
Disabled isn't the same as not present.
APM must be not present in the kernel if microuptime backwards is to be 
avoided.  ie recompile with the apm lines REMOVED ALTOGETHER in your config.

I thought this problem was confined to Athlon CPUs on VIA chipset mobos - 
apparently not so.

A curious dmesg output entry

[Wayne Lubin]

Hi,

I have this line in my dmesg output

pci0:  (vendor=0x1106, dev=0x3057) at
7.4

but the only cards that I have is one ethernet pci
card, and my video card that is in the AGP slot. And
they are being properly detected.

Can this  be some functionality built
into the mother bord that wants to access the pci
buss? Because all of my pci cards are physicaly
plugged into the pci slots are accounted for.

Thanks,

Wayne

Check out /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer. Mplayer comes with a nifty
program called mencoder. Mencoder will convert a file to, among other
things, an animated PNG thingy. Which you can either then convert to gif
or just leave it as PNG, which is gooder anyhow ::).

Re: Installing XFree and gnome

[Adam Weinberger]

Amongst the basic X libs and GNOME support, you're also getting the
"gnome-fifth-toe" meta-port, which installs a whole slew of useful apps -
depending upon your definition of "useful."

If you wish to avoid installing all these, you can go navigate through
the package tree and install x11/gnome. that is also a meta-port, but it
only installs the basic stuff necessary for a gnome desktop. X will get
installed automatically, but you'll need to install sawfish yourself.

If you install the x11/gnome2 port, you get sawfish with it no
additional charge.

Or you could just let it install all the other apps and then delete them
when it's finished ::)

Re: How to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.7

[Richard Tobin]

> Hi fellows , can you tell me how can I upgrade my FreeBSD release 4.3

Someone else has described how to do it from source, but the easy way
is to boot from a 4.7 installation CD and select the "upgrade" option.

If you do this I think you'll probably find that sendmail stops
working.  You will need to copy (or merge) /etc/upgrade/mail to
/etc/mail.

Question about FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE

[Ranajit Ray]

I'm not very familiar with administering FreeBSD (I am
quite familiar with Solaris, Debian and Redhat) but I
need to manage a FreeBSD server for a few days, and
need some (emergency!) assistance :)

I've basically been handed a freshly installed FreeBSD
box. This is --

# uname -a
FreeBSD yyy.zzz 4.6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE
#0: Sun Jul 28 02:04:22 EDT 2002  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/usr/src/sys/compile/www  i386

Now, 4.6.1-RELEASE isn't mentioned _anywhere_ on this
page: . Is this a
private build?

Also, this is running some old packages, like
apache-1.3.24_7 (which seems to be actually v1.3.26),
and OpenSSH_2.9.  But since apache has some open holes
in versions prior to 1.3.27, would  patches for these
have been backported to the 1.2.24_7 package (like how
Debian backports Potato bugixes)? Or is there a place
I can get updated packages for 4.6.1-RELEASE?

Finally, would you say this system is ready of being
connected to the public internet, or should it be
upgraded to something newer?

Thanks in advance
/Ranajit

[snip]

A suggestion: Rather than buying Partition Magic for $60 or $70, use 
BootItNG from http://www.terabyteunlimited.com - shareware, 30-day 
free trial, $29 if you decide to buy it.  Works as well or better than PM, 
has as many or more capabilities, very well documented, Just Works
(tm).

Something else you can do with BootItNG is to image your Win98 
partition to backup media (got a CD burner?).  Then in the vanishingly 
unlikely event you actually hose Win98, you can fdisk and format with a 
Win98 startup floppy and use BootItNG to image your Win98 setup right 
back onto your hard drive - just an extra layer of reassurance.  In fact, if 
you just want to do the image backup, go ahead and use FreeBSD's 
fdisk, no reason to not to at that point.  I'd try "converting" the extended 
partition first, just because if for any reason that doesn't work, you can 
then do the delete-extended/create-primary thing.

Well, if the fd0 isn't loading up at boot, ya can't mount it something
wrong with the floppy. Check the usual cables and stuff

And IBM-style secondary partitions divide up an extended primary
partition in the same way, so they can even be mounted in the Unix way
under Linux and FreeBSD.  It's the same concept, though FreeBSD's
has more restrictions (at least with current software).

I am having the exact problem as this guy, and I tried
your suggestion

mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt   

as root and I still get 

/dev/fd0: Device not configured

As I discussed in an earlier email that the fd0
device is not showing up on dmesg. Can it be that I
burnt out the floppy drive and now at boot up the
floppy is not being detected?

You have to create a 'ftp' user if you're going to support anonymous
ftp.  Do that using the usual system tools, eg:

pw groupadd -n ftp -g 21 
pw useradd  -n ftp -u 21 -c "Anonymous FTP" -d /home/ftp

which sets the anonymouse ftp area to /home/ftp.  Read and follow
carefully the instructions in the ftpd(8) man page about how to set up
that area --- if you don't do it right you can open up a security hole
a mile wide.

> How do i set maximum of connections.

See ftpd.conf(5), ftpchroot(5) and ftpusers(5) man pages, but
essentially you need to add:

anonymous allow
ftp allow

to /etc/ftpusers, and add:

limit guest 100

to /etc/ftpd.conf, which will limit you to 100 concurrent anonymous
ftp users (Create the file if it doesn't exist already).

Cheers,

Matthew

3 times, actually, and it failed in the same place every time.  With that

FWIW, the kernmalloc.ms line appears 92% of the way into the build.

You could have some sort of hardware failure that is dying with the 
truncation error instead of giving you a signal error and dying. An HD 
that is overheating or something similar. Did you try the buildworld 
more than once?

I checked on vgrind and only the Makefile has changed in the last 
year. I wonder if you have corrupted sources for it. You could always 
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/vgrind and try rebuilding it and see if that 
helps. Otherwise, I would remove everything in the vgrind directory, 
re-cvsup 4-stable, and try doing a buildworld again.

US Robotics Performance Pro modem won't work

[E. J. Cerejo]

I just built a pc and bought the above modem for being
100% controller-based hardware modem but I can't get
it to work, it doesn't complain when I run the ppp
-ddial command and it even creates tun0.pid file but
it doesn't dial at all and I think it has to do with
the com port.  In windows shows that, it's using com3
which tells me it has its own com ports in the card
and the question is what should I do to make it work
in FreeBSD 4.6.2?
I've tried to change the ppp.conf file from cuaa0 to
cuaa1 and so on but nothing happens.  I'm still using
the generic kernel.  Thanks in advance

Re: Help me with building JDK1.3.1 (strange error with BOOTDIR variable)

Yes, the native jdk-1.3.1 port includes the java plugin for Mozilla:

happy-idiot-talk:/usr/ports:% pkg_info -L jdk-1.3.1p7 | grep javaplugin
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni_g.so
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/javaplugin.jar
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns4/javaplugin.so
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns4/javaplugin_g.so
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji_g.so

You don't need to do anything special when building the JDK --- the
java plugin gets built by default.  You can turn off building the
plugin by:

make -DWITHOUT_PLUGIN

You'll need to create a symbolic link as instructed at the end of the
install process so that mozilla can find the plugin:

ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
  /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/

(or mozilla-devel if that's the mozilla port you've installed).

Remember to enable java from the preferences panel in Mozilla.  Then
to test that everything works, try
http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/dm.html (ignore the warnings
about incompatibility with unix/Mac, they're out of date) or
http://www.netspace.net.au/~gregegan/APPLETS/Applets.html.

Cheers,

Re: How to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.7

[Mike Hogsett]

> Hi fellows , can you tell me how can I upgrade my FreeBSD release 4.3 
> to 4.7? .
> Thanks for your help

The following is one of several methods to accomplish this.  Also I am
making several assumptions about your system and its network setup.

** ** BACKUP ALL IMPORTANT DATA BEFORE DOING THIS ** **

** ** BE FAMILIAR WITH HOW TO BOOT INTO SINGLE USER MODE   ** **
** ** AND HOW TO LOAD ARBITRARY KERNELS FROM THE OK PROMPT ** ** 

In a nutshell...

First read the following :

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

and

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

and any of the other many good chapters you feel inclined to read.

Install CVSUP if you don't already have it installed.  Go to
/usr/ports/net/cvsup and do a make install. ** NOTE ** It may be necessary
to manually install cvsup from a binary package.  Old versions of CVSUP
have a bug, and your ports tree may be out of date.

You can find a cvsup binary package at :

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/All/cvsup/cvsup-16.1f.tgz

** ** someone please correct the above URL if this is not the correct one ** **

When you have the package do :

> pkg_add cvsup-16.1f.tgz

If all goes well then

> cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /etc/standard-supfile

edit /etc/standard-supfile

change :

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org

Set "CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org" to a "close" cvsup server.  By close I mean
one that has either a good ping or the fewest hops in traceroute.

Here in Silicon Valley I used to get great speeds from cvsup14.FreeBSD.org
until I started running my own cvsup mirror, now I use my mirror.

change :

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_7

**NOTE** "RELENG_4_7" will likely be different in your copy of
standard-supfile.  Change it to be "RELENG_4_7".  This is the 4.7 with
patches branch (a good one to track).

run :

> cvsup -g /etc/standard-supfile

This should begin the process of updating your /usr/src directory.
Depending on your network connection this may take from under an hour to
several hours.

*** NOTE *** you may want to do the same cvsup procedure using
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to update /usr/ports.  Just copy
it to /etc, edit the "*default host=" line to the same as you used before,
then run "cvsup -g /etc/ports-supfile".  This will update all of
/usr/ports.

After the cvsup has completed you now have the 4.7 sources in /usr/src

You might need to completely remove /usr/obj, if so do "rm -rf /usr/obj"
** NOTE ** check your work.  Know what you are doing.  I take no
responsibility if you lose important files.

> cd /usr/src

** ** READ /usr/src/UPDATING  ** ** 

To build the 4.7 do :

> make buildworld && make buildkernel

Come back in a couple hours or a couple of days depending on the speed of
your CPU, how much memory it has, and how fast its disk/s is/are.

When that completes do :

> make installkernel

Reboot into single user mode.

** ** NOTE: If the new kernel craps out on you or otherwise
fails to boot reset the machine, and at the "ok"
prompt boot with either kernel.GENERIC or kernel.old,
Then diagnose why the new kernel failed.  DO NOT
PROCEED with the remainder of the install until
this is resolved.

at the shell do :

> mount -a -t ufs
> cd /usr/src
> cd usr.sbin/mergemaster
> make && make install
> mergemaster -p

mergemaster will update your password and group files as necessary. **
NOTE ** be sure to keep your "root" entry from the installed password
file, as well as any other important user entries.

Now cd /usr/src

> make installworld

Now run mergemaster again to update the remaining configuration files.

> mergemaster

Reboot. Ta da 4.7-RELEASE, assuming everything went smoothly.

Good Luck.

Slow one-way network speeds

[Mark Thomas]

I'm having an issue with transfer speeds on my local network and I'm 
looking for some pointers on what I might do to fix it up.

My network is pretty simple.

Internet -- DSL -- Medusa -- Local Net -- Leviathan

Medusa is (PII-400):
FreeBSD medusa.pbegames.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #2: Tue Apr 16 
09:45:14 EDT 2002

Leviathan is (AMD TBird-900):
   Win98 with the latest service packs, patches, etc.

The DSL connection is running user ppp with nat.
The local net is a D-Link hub (10baseT/UTP).

The problem:

Transfers from Leviathan to Medusa run at ~900 kB/s
Transfers from Medusa to Leviathan run at ~55 kB/s

Interestingly, transfers from the Internet to Leviathan run at the expected 
rate (~75 kB/s -- about normal for my local DSL provider).

I've been testing transfer rates using a 9 MB file.

I first noticed this with Samba, but I can reproduce it with scp and ftp as 
well. I've done some looking around at various sysctl and registry 
settings, but I haven't seen anything that jumps out.

The local interface on Medusa (LinkSys LNE100 I believe) looks like this:

dc0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
 inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe57:5cc2%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
 inet 192.168.99.1 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.255.255
 ether 00:04:5a:57:5c:c2
 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
 status: active

I've swapped out all cables, and transfers between Leviathan and a test 
machine internally work fine over all ports on the hub. I'm leaning towards 
a problem with the tcp settings between the two machines, but have about 
reached the limits of my knowledge in this area. Any pointers to where to 
look would be great. I can pass on more information if needed (sysctls, 
tcpdump, etc.).

TIA,


Mark Thomas

I doubt the BIOS will care.

It will probably work.  But, if you are concerned, get yourself a
copy of Partition Magic by Power Quest.  It is available in most
places that sell PC and software, including Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.
Use it to clean up everything and leave the extra space not in your
first slice (DOS primary partition) as unused space.  Then let
the fdisk in sysinstall turn that space in to a FreeBSD slice.

Basically, FreeBSD fdisk/disklabel/newfs is quite happy to overwrite
any type of space with a slice and partitions/filesystems whether
they are already in use or not, if you tell them to do so.   The fdisk
basically just rewrites the disk's slice (DOS partition) table, thus
determining how the disk space is divvied up.  It will read and report
existing use, but you can tell it to redivide that space any way you 
want.  Of course, if you modify space already in use, that previous
stuff is going to be trashed (most likely), but it tells you how each
piece is being used so you can be careful.  The fact that an empty
piece (slice/DOS partition) is identified as set up to hold 
extended partitions means little as long as nothing is really there.

Sort of, but not quite.   FreeBSD partitions divide up slices in to
nice neat separately mountable (if they are made in to file systems)
independantly addressable units.

I don't agree there.  Using slice & partition within slice is more
clear thatn partition and extended partition and may make newbees
heave a sigh of relief.

Yes, the socalled "dangerously dedicated" disk, sure.   On today's
large disks there is little reason to do it that way.

Re: multiple_file_downloading

[wolfgang]

you can use the GNU program wget in linux/unix and windows.
to download an entire directory with wget (using anonymous ftp) you would 
simply type wget -r ftp://whatever/your/server/is/directory/

find wget via freshmeat.net, for the windows version see

Buildworld error

You can use whatever filesystem you want.  It's just a filesystem..it
doesn't care about the underlying disk medium.

You can create a FFS filesystem on a floppy disk the same way you
create one on a hard disk (using newfs, or newfs_* for other
filesystems).

The filesystem is designed not to become fragmented under normal use.
On the other hand FAT was not designed very well (at all? :).

Re: Relatively cheap, well supported printer

[Gary W. Swearingen]

I strongly recommend that you get a used PostScript laser printer, or at
least a laser printer with an HP laser printer emulation.  Unless you're
not apt to care about ink costs and jet clogging and slow printing.

300 DPI is plenty good for most purposes.  I see new 600 DPI laser
printers are now quite cheap, but I don't know about their compatibility.

AbiWord compiles correctly in a fresh environment.  Perhaps you have
out-of-date versions of the packages upon which AbiWord depends, or
you have extra (stale) files installed on your system.  Try using the
portupgrade utility to update all the dependent ports (portupgrade -R
AbiWord).

mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)

[Markku Kokko]

Hi all ! 

I have a little problem here mounting or browsing samba shares.

I have FreeBSD 4.6.2 running on both samba server and client, and a share on the 
server called public.

when I try to mount that share it asks for password, and then gives an
error:

ex.

libra# mount_smbfs //maxi@samba/public /mnt
Password:
mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)
libra# 

I can list the shares with smbclient, no errors at all.

I can not login to the samba like this:

libra# smbutil login //maxi@samba
Password:
smbutil: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)
smbutil: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)
smbutil: could not login to server SAMBA: syserr = Invalid argument
libra# 

I have checked /dev and there is one entry for nsmb0:

libra# ll /dev/nsmb*
crw---  1 root  wheel  144,   0 Oct 14 15:23 /dev/nsmb0
libra# 

I don't think the problem is server related because it works on another
Windows workstation on the same LAN.

Any ideas on what this might be?
Need more info? Just ask, I'll give all info I can...

Regards: Markku / Maxi

Just a clarification, but windows 9x and below uses FAT(16/32).  DOS
sits on fat.  FreeBSD I believe uses UFS for drive access and can be
used via /stand/sysinstall.  I don't recall what the acronym means.

You are close, on windows you need to de-fragment the hard drive.
Fragmentation slows down a system a little bit.  Fragmentation usually
occurs when you are doing lots of file creation/deletion.  My 2 freebsd
boxen don't do this on a normal basis, so the drives don't get too
fragmented.

Re: Probably picked wrong boot loader

[Gary W. Swearingen]

"Jonas Fornander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

> How can I add the standard boot loader or do I have to re-install again?

I'm fairly sure that you can boot the install floppy and at some point
while it's booting it gives you a chance to interrupt and boot from the
hard disk.  (You might have to wait till you get to the main menu and
then use the "fixit" option and floppy, but I doubt it.)  The problem is
that you have to learn how to name the disk partition which holds the
kernel which you have already installed.  It's probably explained in the
handbook or a paper BSD book.  It's kinda nasty, something like:
0:ad(0,a)

Before you give up and re-install, try just using the menu options
as far as adding the boot loader and then exit out the menues to
reboot (and ctrl-alt-del works too, IIRC).

Re: CVSUP update from 4.6 -> 4.7

[Jonathan Arnold]

>*default compress

The comments in the cvsup file say to comment this line out if you have
less than a T1, while cvsupit says to not use compress if your connection
is greater than a 56k connection. Which is right for a fast DSL 
connection?

File-systems

[Socketd]

Hi again :-)

Just some filesystem questions.
What filesystem does FreeBSD use for disks (1.44mb and 120 mb). In 
windows they use ms-dos, but my guess is that we don't use FFS for 
disks? and how do I format a disk to our filesystem?

Why is it what we don't have to fragment our hard-disks all the time 
like I did in windows? I also heard that the filesystem for hard-disk 
will be updated in FreeBSD 5.0, can you guide my to some info about 
this?

As long as the frontpage binaries are still accessable from
/usr/local/frontpage, there should be no problems with such a setup.

All you can do is try it, and let us know if it works correctly with the
FrontPage client (98/2000/2002) and browsing the site to a page that is
using frontpage components (i.e. does fp counter work correctly).

Re: using an extended partition for freebsd

Under the IBM disk-layout scheme we're still using 20 years later, you
may have up to 4 primary partitions.  Most software supports having one
of them being an extended partition which contains secondary partitions.
So you have two primaries, one of them extended. (I suspect that one
could manage to use multiple extended partitions with Linux, with some
rarely-used "fdisk" features, but probably causing problems for some
software.)

Be careful there.  The BSD OSes essentially do the same thing, except
they allow four "extended" partitions and use different internal formats
and names:
primary partition   -> slice
secondary partition -> partition

I think we should use the IBM jargon.  While the slice/partition jargon
is a bit cleaner, the benefit is not worth the costs in continually
needing to explain the differences in documents and support forums,
and giving newbies another reason to return to what they know best.

> It just needs slices (which are called partitions by Microsloth).

Actually, it doesn't.  FreeBSD can just have what it calls "partitions",
in which case there won't be a "partition table".  But "they" recommend
having one slice anyway; I guess to support software (eg, on a Linux
disk) thatexpects the more common disk layout.

I've never used it but it sounds like it would work OK.  The BIOS
doesn't need to recognize it, though with some boot loaders, it might
need to have the "/" secondary partition in the first 1024 cylinders for
your BIOS to grab all of the boot code.

Btw, I have looked, but can it really be true that you can't run FTP 
with SSL (SFTP)? There is no SFTP daemons or SSL support to the 
existing daemons in the base system or in the ports (I know there is 
software outside the ports, but I rather run a normal ftp server than 
use that).

Thanks for insisting on that too! I don't have, by any means, a
"critical" machine - it's just a play web site and mailing list - 
but I do like to have them up, so perhaps I'll stay away for now.

All valid concerns. But I don't use ssh (have it turned off) and 
I have kept Apache patched. I do run some updates, just haven't
jumped whole hog into the water.

You know, I will probably do that, to the recent 4.7, now that I
think about it a little more.

FTP prob in PHP 4.2.3/install older version?

[Jaime Kikpole]

I've found that PHP 4.2.3 seems to have a problem with ftp_*
functions.  I have a web-app called SquirrelMail with a plugin that uses
FTP to manage your .procmailrc and SpamAssassin settings.  The plugin
works about 5-10% of the time.

This web-app on an older box running PHP 4.2.1 seems to not have
the problems that it does in PHP 4.2.3.  So I was wondering if there was a
way to install an older version of this port.

If I install mod_php4 via the packages, it doesn't come with FTP
support.  I've already CVSup-ed my /usr/ports directory and my backup of
the old version is over a year old.  (My last "make world" went from
FreeBSD 4.4 to 4.7.)  Does anyone have any ideas?  I need to make sure
that at least IMAP, FTP, and MySQL support are compiled into mod_php4.

Thanks in advance,
Jaime

FTP forwarding

[Socketd]

Hi all

I know this is not a FreeBSD question, but I hope someone can help me.
I have one global IP and a cisco router. On my LAN I have 3 FreeBSD 4.7 
servers. On one server I run the standard ftpd, so I have to forward 
ftp traffic to that server. I should forward:
21 and 49152-65535, right? Also port 20?
Btw, I know how to make the router forward one port, but can I just 
write
ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.2 49152-65535 interface dialer0 
49152-65535 to forward all those ports?

In the future I will also run httpd, smtpd, sshd and pop3d (and maybe 
imapd) servers, do any of these need some special ports above 1024?
