Re: can anybody send me a sample aide.conf configuration file for reference?

I know nothing about it, but doing "locate aide.conf" turns up what

/usr/ports/security/aide/files/aide.conf.freebsd

And "cat /usr/ports/security/aide/pkg-plist" shows:

X problems, please advise helpless newbie

[J. Foobar]

I have been unable to get X to start successfully. 
Hopefully I am overlooking something stupid.

FreeBSD 4.6.2 on an Intel machine

My graphics card is an Intel 82845G/GL.  I searched
for info on the Intel site and it mentioned that this
card is in the i810 class.

>From my XF86Config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "i810"
Chipset  "i810"
Card"Intel i810"
End Section

I have added the agp_load="YES" line to
/boot/loader.conf and /dev/agpgart exists.

'startx' returns the following:


(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (Device not
configured)
(EE) I810(0): AGP GART support is not available.  Make
sure your kernel has agpgart support or that the
agpgart kernel module is loaded.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable
configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found



X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server

xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

I really have no idea what to do next.  Any help would
be appreciated, the more layman the terms, the better.

NIS server oddities

[Irvine Short]

Hi All

Many folks use this? Our NIS master server was until a recent drive 
crash a 3.5 stable machine.

NIS worked OK but for ypserv intermittently core dumping and being 
unable to push maps to slave servers.

I got around this by making the slave servers pull their maps more often.

The error when pushing maps to the slave servers is still there on 4.6 
as is the intermittent core dumping of ypserv.

Here's the error when pushing maps:
ppush: .sanbi.ac.za   .sanbi.ac.za .sanbi.ac.za: 
couldn't create udp handle to NIS server: RPC: Unknown host

How best to troubleshoot this? I've tried putting the slave servers in 
/etc/hosts to no avail.

The slave servers are both Irix, one 6.5.8m the other 6.5.17m

Anyone else use the FreeBSD NIS server stuff? It seems to not have 
changed much in a long time...

All help much appreciated!

Re: openoffice 1.0.1

[Chris Kulish]

Thanks all the for the replies!

Tim, when you say you just installed the linux binary, are we talking about
just using a redhat RPM or something equivalent?
I do have linux compatibility enabled (installed during system
installation), so maybe thats the row I need to hoe.  Although I did notice
that during the build of the port, it checked for ALOT of the stuff
contained in the Linux compatibility module.  Things like RPM, odds and ends
Redhat 7.1 Libraries, etc.  Which leads me to believe that its actually
trying to build Linux binaries.  Or am I way out in left field here?

Thanks again all!!

The LINT kernel configuration is meant to contain all possible devices
and options.  As I remember I was trying to set up monitoring of my
motherboard and CPU temperatures, which I knew from previous
experience required use of SMBus devices, so I experimented with some
of the stuff in the LINT kernel until I found something that worked.

Matthew

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.

Don't do that.  The ports tree is not branched and tagged in the same
way as the system sources, and using a system tag there will only lead
to wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Besides, if you read carefully you'll see that the relevant line in
the ports-supfile is:

*default release=cvs tag=.

That final '.' is vital...

Re: floppy not mounting

It's possible that your floppy has indeed bitten the dust.  Certainly
you won't be able to use it from FreeBSD until the kernel probes for
it at boot time.  You should see both fdc0 and fd0, like this:

happy-idiot-talk:~:% grep fdc /var/run/dmesg.boot
fdc0:  at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold
fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

However, to confirm that it has actually blown up, beg, borrow or
steal a bootable floppy from somewhere and see if the box can be
persuaded to boot from it.  One of the FreeBSD installer disk images
would be a good choice, or a memtest86 disk from
http://www.memtest86.com/.

If the drive is still working, it suggests that somehow it's got into
an inconsistent state and can't respond to the kernel's probe
attempts.  That shouldn't happen --- the kernel should be able to
interface with the hardware and put it into a consistent state however
it was left.

You might find that simply booting from a floppy image resets the
drive and that the next time you reboot into FreeBSD it starts working
again.  Otherwise you should try completely powering down your system
--- not just hitting the power switch on the front, but unplug it from
the wall and leave it for at least 10 minutes so that any internal
capacitance can discharge.

Cheers,

Matthew

The fact that the message shows up at 03:01:01 is probably indicative
of something that runs through cron.  The hour (just seconds after
03:00am) points to the daily scripts that FreeBSD runs to check things.

The program that fails is called "dump".  There is only one instance
of a "dump" command in /etc/periodic/daily/* files:

keramida@hades[14:26]/etc/periodic/daily$ grep dump *
400.status-disks:   dump W || rc=3;;

Can you try running the following command as root and see if it fails?

# dump W

By fixing the problems that dump(8) has.

> I am using freebsd 4.6 release #1.

Release kernels do not have #1 as their number, but #0.  This is
probably an indication of a kernel recompile that you did, without
going through the recommended buildworld/buildkernel steps.  If this
is the case, you have kernel that is not in sync with your userland
tools, and that could very well be the cause behind the dump(8)
failures that you're seeing.

Some (broken in my opinion) BIOS implementations will refuse or fail
to boot from disks that do not have a "valid partition table".  They
are simply broken, since it's not that hard to load the master boot
record of the first system disk in memory and run its code, but their
very existence makes disks with "valid" partition tables a necessity :-/

That's a supported chipset:

# viapm VIA VT82C586B,596,686A and VT8233 SMBus controllers

You need to add:

device  smbus
device  viapm
device  smb

to your kernel config, and build yourself a new kernel.  Works fine
for my VT8233 SMBus controller.

have you checked for agpgard support in your kernel as mentioned
above in the startx output?

Add the following to your kernel -

device  agp

You can add some comments if you like -

# Video

device  agp  #Graphics card

Then recompile your kernel.  If it still doesn't work,
I guess something else is borked.  I usually have my
best success configuring X using the old-fashioned
xf86config command and working through the subsequent
question-and-answer.

I've tried that and it still doesn't dial and if you

5.0 is now very near to being released, and the team of people who are
working on making it a stable enough system that is worthy of being
cut in stone as 5.0-RELEASE will certainly be very grateful for extra
testing.  But you should only run -current if you have the time to
follow the latest changes closely, since there are still a few bumpy
points.  Bearing that in mind, I have run -current at my workstation
at home ever since I remember me switching to 3-current and it's not
very difficult to keep it stable if you are cautious when upgrading to
avoid the occasional periods of serious problems.

Giorgos.

Where did you get 'viapm' from? Are *all* the possibilities documented 
somewhere? Is there a central resource for all the possible kernel 
config entries ? After seeing your post I found the 
viapm(4) man page but I never would have known about it otherwise.

Problem Building Gnome2 from ports

[Ronnie Clark]

Hello all!

I am trying to build gnome2 from the ports collection
I cvsuped yesterday. When it gets to the section of
building the "xscreensaver-gnome" it errors out with a
line saying "/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lgtk". 

Is there a workaround for this, or better yet a fix?
Any help is much appreciated.

First, let me say that I did this last night and it's quite painless - 45

Is it common practice to do the system *and* ports CVSup at the same time? 
Just for yucks I did the system last night and I'll try the ports tonight.

Also, there's a 

 *default release=cvs tag=

line in the example ports supfile - should I/we make that:

 *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_7

or is the 'cvs tag' line not relevant to the ports upgrade?

RE: PPP

Alex

I find your question way to vague. Please give more details about your setup
and what you want to do.
Are the 2 winboxs on the lan behind the FBSD gateway?
Does the FBSD gateway box have 2 modems? One to the internet and one for
your winboxs to dialin on?
Are the 2 winboxs remote and they want to dialin to the FBSD box to share
the FBSD's internet connection?
Please clarify.

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

  [ssh'ing in and running ppp manually is to much of an ask for

In order to use mount_smbfs you should include the following
options in your kernel config file:

options SMBFS
options LIBMCHAIN
options LIBICONV
options NETSMB
options NETSMBCRYPTO

So try to recompile your kernel with these options. Also run
/dev/MAKEDEV all.

swapping hard drives

[default]

Just a quick question...

I have a server running on freebsd 4.1 and want to upgrade to a newer
version... BUT I need to keep my server online while I do this.

What I want to do is a clean install on the current box that it is running
on, and I am hoping that I can swap the hard drive out of the server it is
in now, put it in a temporary machine, and if it works it will no longer be
needed when the new hard drive is all configured correctly...

The main hardware differences between the two are that the current server
has:

pII 350 processor, Netgear 310TX NIC

The temporary machine I am swapping to will have:
PII500 processor, and a D-Link NIC

Has anyone done this kind of thing before? How well does freebsd react to
this kind of change?

Thanks

**

If you try to change the tag that way, you'll have a
heck of a time finding where your ports went.  ;)

Read the comments in stable-supfile (they might be in
ports-supfile also) regarding the necessity of keeping
the version line "tag=."

Yes, it's common to do system and ports at the same
time.  Not doing so might cause port builds to break
when encountering newer/older than expected versions
of build tools or other system bits.

Installing the linux-realplayer port doesn't seem to automatically
make it work with the linux-mozilla port.  You need to:

  ln -s /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8/raclass.zip raclass.zip
  ln -s /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so rpnp.so

Which Scsi Raid controller to choose?

[Lasse Laursen]

Hi,

We are in the process of setting up a large NFS server and we are looking
for a reliable disk system to be used by the OS. (The data will be placed on
some large Storagetek raids).

We have a bunch of 2BGyte SCSI disks that we plan to use for this purpose.

My question is: Which SCSI RAID controller should we use? We would prefer
RAID 1 with hotspare drives or a RAID 5 solution.

The controller should be well supported under FreeBSD. We have used 3Ware
controllers in the past but we have had some problems with some of them -
one nice feature of them is the ability to remotely control them via a web
interface and the controller is able to send out emails if it detects
problems with the raid. A similar solution and features would be preferred
but it's not essential.

Any suggestions for a good RAID SCSI controller is appreciated :)


Regards and have a nice weekend all

Just a quick question...

I have a server running on freebsd 4.1 and want to upgrade to a newer

What I want to do is a clean install on the current box that it is running
on, and I am hoping that I can swap the hard drive out of the server it is
in now, put it in a temporary machine, and if it works it will no longer be
needed when the new hard drive is all configured correctly...

The main hardware differences between the two are that the current server
has:

pII 350 processor, Netgear 310TX NIC

The temporary machine I am swapping to will have:
PII500 processor, and a D-Link NIC

Has anyone done this kind of thing before? How well does freebsd react to
this kind of change?

Hello,

Yes, I have done this using FreeBSD 4.6.2. I had to update the 
networking for the different NIC card but everything else just worked.

Re: swapping hard drives

[DaleCo, S.P.---'the solutions people']

You'll need to make sure that support for the new
NIC is compiled into the kernel you're running on
the "old" server.

You'll also need to be prepared to address any
network topography and security issues that come
as the result of this host having a new MAC address,
etc.

OTOH, I've done this at least three times, and only
once did it require any significant tweaking at all.  The
last time was last week, when I moved from a Cyrix
166 to an AMD 300 (with different NICs) just by
moving the drive from one to the other.  The catch
there is that the box wasn't doing a whole lot, so
it wouldn't have been a big deal.

In the interest of being safe, generally I'll just build
a "substitute" box and route services to it while I
work on the original.  But, as I said, I've had only
a little trouble with doing what you propose in 3 tries.

Have you run `kldstat' (man kldstat) to make sure that the AGP module is actually
loaded?

Wait, do you have to both compile AGP support into the kernel AND load
an the kernel module?  Shouldn't it be just one or the other?

Well, if they are built onto the motherboard, which is standard these
days, you should be able to disable them in the BIOS.  Another way to
effectively get rid of them would be to compile a kernel without support
for them.

intel audio card problem with sdr/vat

[Julien Bournelle]

Hi all,

 As you may know I have a problem with my sound card. Ok, I can listen
CD and I guess mp3 but when I want to listen multicast session it doesn't work

in my kernel I have

device pcm

$ dmesg | grep pcm

pcm0:  port 0xcc40-0xcc7f,0xc800-0xc8ff irq 10 at device 31.5 on 
pci0
pcm0: measured ac97 link rate at 55927 Hz

$ cat /dev/sndstat

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Oct  4 2002 16:20:39
Installed devices:
pcm0:  at io 0xc800, 0xcc40 irq 10 (1p/2r/0v channels duplex)

I'm running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE

the problem occurs when I run sdr and when I used e.g. vat to listen audio 
I have:

failed to select input 
failed to set mic volume 
failed set input line volume 
failed to output level 0 
failed to select input 
failed to set mic volume 
failed set input line volume 
failed to output level 70 
failed to output level 70 
failed to set mic volume 
failed set input line volume 


so if someone has an idea a pointer ? maybe a better mailing-list I would be 
very happy ;-)

dual boot install

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I have a dual boot redhat/win98 box at home that I boot with lilo. I'd like
to replace redhat with freebsd. My main concern is getting rid of lilo, so
that I can use the freebsd bootloader to choose between windows and freesd.
I'm not sure how a freebsd install will treat lilo. Will the freebsd simply
overwrite lilo and alow me to choose between windows and freebsd? or creat
some crazy double boot loader situation?

I'm looking for a little wisdom regarding how to prepare for a freebsd
install with out messing up the windows partitions (C and D with a ext2
linux partion between them). Should I reinstall the windows bootloader
first?

Thanks

Kirk

FreeBSD 2.2.6

[Denis Fournier]

Hi, I work in a research environnement. I found and installed FreeBSD
2.2.6. But now I need to recompile the Kernel but the download did not come
with the src directory.
I know that I can check on the CVS server but I don't know how to get the
files. 
I would appreciate if someone can e-mail me the src directory or tell me
where a can get it or how to get it if I have to go on the CVS server.

Thanks

Re: X problems, please advise helpless newbie

[Thanos Tsouanas]

had similar problems...

if you dont mind starting your wmanager manually, without using xdm or similar 
programs, try
adding sth like this to your /etc/ttys files...

comment out the line that starts xdm -nodaemon
and add a similar one to start the XFree86

sth like

ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86" xterm on secure

this shud result in X starting every time you start your system with the X-mouse 
screen and the
pixel-chessboard background.

make a small script to start your wmanager in your home dir


#!/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker -display :0

(thats for me, i use windowmaker, add there what you wud normally add to .xinitrc or 
.xsession)

chmod +x filename_to_start_window_manager

shud work...

sendmail woe

[Tom Carrick]

I've been having this problem for some time, I thought the upgrade to
4.7 might fix it - it didn't. Neither did using a fresh config file from
/usr/src/etc/sendmail.

The problem is this: while SMTP works fine, and sendmail otherwise works
for the receiving of mail, sendmail doesn't seem to send mail correctly.
It appears to be sending it to (the SMTP server on?) localhost.com,
instead of locally. Thus I can't send mail via sendmail, or via anything
that uses it.

The error messages change depending on the state of localhost.com,
before it said relaying denied, now it just times out. I have a feeling
changing my hostname from domain.tld to sub.domain.tld would be a
workaround, but I'm looking for a better solution. I'm 95% sure I'm
missing something simple here.

Thanks.

You're thinking of the "punch firewall" option in natd.

If you're using the ftpd that comes with FBSD, you will see in the man
page that the default port range is 49152-65535 so as I understand it,
you do not need to open ports 1024-49151 as they will not be used.  I
am also told one can further limit the port range used by the default
ftpd by modifying these sysctl vars:

net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152
net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535

However I have not actually tried this.  I don't know if there's any
significant security advantage in limiting the port range further as I
have not seen any discussion on this.  But I would suspect that it
certainly wouldn't hurt to limit the port range to the number of
expected concurrent ftp sessions, thus closing off more ports.

Anyone else reading this, please correct me if I am mistaken.

Thanks,

Drew

Re: Reconfigured named, but now getting errors

[Stacey Roberts]

Hi Nick,
   I swear.., this thing was working after I had a fiddle this morning
after sending my last e-mail off to you. Now I can't run nslookup on my
domain:
# nslookup www.vickiandstacey.com
Server:  localhost.vickiandstacey.com
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost.vickiandstacey.com can't find www.vickiandstacey.com:
Non-existent host/domain
# 

Although I *am* able to resolve remote address okay:
# nslookup www.freebsd.org
Server:  localhost.vickiandstacey.com
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:www.freebsd.org
Address:  216.136.204.117
# 

Don't know why this suddenly stopped working, but take a look at what
I've got here:-

named.conf:
// If you enable a local name server, don't forget to enter 127.0.0.1
// into your /etc/resolv.conf so this server will be queried first.
// Also, make sure to enable it in /etc/rc.conf.

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "master/localhost.rev";
};

zone
"1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.INT" {
type master;
file "master/localhost-v6.rev";
};

And my Zone statements:

zone "vickiandstacey.com" in {
type master;
file "master/vickiandstacey.com.db";
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.1/24; };
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "master/192.168.1.db";
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.1/24; };
};

This is what I thought was the solution for the zone files:

$TTL 3600
vickiandstacey.com. IN  SOA Demon.vickiandstacey.com.  
postmaster.vickiandstacey.com. (
2002101605  ; Serial
10800   ; Refresh
3600; Retry
604800  ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL

@   IN  NS  Demon.vickiandstacey.com.

localhost   IN  A   127.0.0.1
Demon   IN  A   192.168.1.8
snowballIN  A   192.168.1.6


And for the reverse resolution:
$TTL 3600

1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN  SOA Demon.vickiandstacey.com.  
postmaster.vickiandstacey.com. (
2002101605  ; Serial
10800   ; Refresh
3600; Retry
604800  ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL

@   IN  NS  Demon.vickiandstacey.com.

8   IN  PTR Demon.vickiandstacey.com.
6   IN  PTR snowball.vickiandstacey.com.


And /etc/resolv.conf:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain  vickiandstacey.com
search  vickiandstacey.com
nameserver  127.0.0.1
nameserver  158.43.240.4
nameserver  158.43.240.3
# 

I'm *definitely* at a loss here. Why would it work, and then stop

Thanks for the suggestions., do come back to me with any ideas that you

Whoa! Bad karma. Doing this will result in an X session running as
root which anyone can just walk up to your machine and use.  You
really, really don't want to do that.

Honestly, this is exactly why xdm(1) exists.

newbie help, bad kernel?

[mprime]

Help I was installing from a cd and the system locked up I rebooted 
and the screen says:


 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT

Default:0:ad(0.a)/kernel
boot:

OR every other time it says something to the effect of "cant load 
kernel" and "cant load kernel.old"
type help for a list of commands.

I told the BIOS to look at the CD drive first hoping it would boot 
from the CD but that doesnt work.

The last thing I was doing before it locked up was it asked what I 
wanted my bootstrap to be full BSD or dual Win/BSD then went on to 
the install and it locked up.

Is there something I can do do start over?

Mozilla and Sylpheed

[Bryan Cassidy]

Well, I guess no one replied to my e-mail because I didn't have a
Subject: or no one knows. I will ask again though just in case
something else happened. I use Mozilla as my web browser and when I
click a mailto: link it opens Mozilla Mail. Well, I don't want it to
open Mozilla Mail. I want it to open Sylpheed. If someone could tell
me "exactly" how to do this I would appreciate it. Thank You.

Isn't that what the linkfarm script does?  It is discussed in the

Have you got a copy of cvsup that will work on that old a system?  If
so, then you should be able to use a supfile like the following to
retrieve all of the system sources:

*default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 (or RELENG_2_2_6_RELEASE)
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

Then I believe you may have to hunt around in /usr/share/examples/cvsup
to find out how to download some extra crypto stuff which has been
rolled into the main codebase for modern releases.

If you can't get hold of a version of cvsup that works on that system,
you should be able to pull down the sources by anonymous cvs:

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

where you will ultimately want to run:

cvs co -rRELENG_2_2 src

which should get you the latest 2.2.x sources for the kernel and the
rest of the system.

Cheers,

Matthew

CD-R compression

[Dazzler BSD]

I was wondering if anyone could help me.  I would like to know how to 
compress a cd-r to fit more data on it.  There is a cd called the Devil's 
Own XP cd that was made on freebsd, it's a 700 mb cd with 4 gigs of 
information on it.  They must of used a compression tool to compress the 
cd-r but I can't seem to find out what they used.  Any help or advice would 
be very useful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

sorry for the confusion. this is what I meant:

as opposed to what quite a few people would like you to believe you
*don't* have to compile stuff into kernel to have the desired
functionality. i've successfully used dynamically loaded usb, agp,
and sound (at least two different sound cards) support over the last
year.

Yes - it's often easier to go with a .xinitrc file
and type "startx" at the login prompt.

There's a good article by Dru Lavigne on how to set

Re: A curious dmesg output entry

[Wayne Lubin]

Evidently top posting is not a good thing. Ok from now
on I will try and remember to bottom post on any
future threads I participate in.

Jack,

I am not clear on what you are trying to say here. In
my config file I have the following line

device  apm0at nexus? disable flags 0x20 #
Advanced Power Management


Are you saying that it should actually be


device apm0at nexus? flags 0x20 #
 Advanced Power Management

?? In other words I need to take out the word disable?
If so kind of weird that they would have it be like
that. 

Thanks for the help.

The LINT kernel configuration is meant to contain all possible devices
and options.  As I remember I was trying to set up monitoring of my
motherboard and CPU temperatures, which I knew from previous
experience required use of SMBus devices, so I experimented with some
of the stuff in the LINT kernel until I found something that worked.

Cheers,

Matthew

After trying and failing to get the xmbmon port to 
work, I found that the author has a 2.0 version of 
xmbmon available at his website.  It's FreeBSD native, 
supports the latest motherboards, and is quite easy to 
install.  No extra SMBus stuff needed in the kernel.  
I just had to remove "disable" in the kernel line re
APM and put apm_enable="1" (or was it "YES?") in
/etc/rc.conf.

The author also has FVCool, a CPU cooling utility.  It
reduces my CPU temp by 14 or 15 degrees C (from 46 to
32 or 31).  Again, it's native and easy to install.
(BTW, yes I do have CPU_SUSP_HLT in my kernel options.
 This utility is obviously doing something the kernel
option isn't.  The author says the same thing the
utility does can be accomplished with pciconf, but I
don't know how.)

There's a thorough HowTo on setting up a display manager (e.g. xdm, kdm, 
...) here:

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

I can't think of any reason why it won't work if you follow the 
instructions. Note that X *must* load properly for xdm to work properly. 
If you need to test and setup X first, use an xinitrc file, e.g.:

$ echo "exec wmaker" > /home/user/.xinitrc

and then try 'startx'. The Handbook page above should get you going with 
xdm.

IPSEC/NAT issues

[Charles Henrich]

I have a network/firewall where I want to nat an entire network.  However, I
also want nat traffic to one remote host in particular out on the internet to
be IPsec'd as well.

[A] (10.x) [B] (Nat) [C] (Real IP)

I've setup IPsec on both machines, and from either machine (B,C) I can ssh to
the other, with ipsec packets all happening happy as a clam.  However if try a
connection from behind the nat box to the remote host (A,C) the key exchange
works fine (between B&C), but then no data flows back and forth.  Anyone have
any suggestions on this?  Thanks!

I wrote that FAQ, so can clarify:

In Mozilla 1.0.x (the stable branch), there is no way to do this the way
GNOME or KDE would like it. If you haven't installed Mozilla Mail/News with
the browser, I think there might be a way that involves fiddling with
Mozilla config files (I vaguely recall there being something of the sort).

Best place to ask is probably the forums on mozillazine.org .

The X Desktop Group standard is a work in progress, currently somewhere
just past 'nice idea' stage as far as I know. If it comes up with something
even vaguely workable, you can be sure Mozilla will be all over it in
minutes. (There's even a bug to that effect.) But it may as well be off in
the land of vapour for the moment.

The development branch of Mozilla (1.1, 1.2 and so on) may have the
capability added for Unix/Linux. 1.0.x is unlikely ever to.

Er, does that help a bit? Ask on mozillazine.org forums and see if they can
help.

Are you sure?  I suspect that they just need 0x55aa at the end of the
MBR.  Otherwise, their definition of "valid" is probably broken too, so
that you still don't need actual slices.  But you couldn't set it up
without slices using just "sysinstall" in that case, I'll have to admit.

I guess we should say that FreeBSD needs slices only when slices are
needed.  Many users will not need them, especially for non-boot disks,
but their use doesn't cost much and eliminates the risk of running into
software which requires their presence.

i have followed the instructions on the HB and they didnt work, thats why i came up 
with the
insecure method... startx gives similar errors to the ones mentioned in the original

The -ansi is causing your problems. There shouldn't be any need to set
the CFLAGS at all. The default flags for most ports includes -O and
-pipe.

Difference between versions

[Denis Fournier]

Hi, 
I would like to know if FreeBSD has a file somewhere that says with file
and with driver was changed between the release of different versions. For
example for FreeBSD 4.7 there would be a file on the FreeBSD cd indicating
the files changed between the version 4.6 and 4.7. I know that there  is a
file like that in NetBSD called changes.  But I could not find one for
FreeBSD.

Thanks again

Curious.  I wonder why xmbmon-2.0 isn't in ports yet?  The need, or
not for SMBus support in the kernel depends on exactly which chipset
you have on your motherboard.  Mine isn't supported through the ISA
bus, even with version 2.0, but the SMBus stuff just works.

Wow --- how cool is that?  Well, according to my temperature monitors,
it's 17.3 degC down from the previous day's average.  Doing the same
job with pciconf is a matter of working out by hand what registers to
alter on which device, but why bother when fvcool already knows the
answers?

Re: A curious dmesg output entry

[Wayne Lubin]

Two questions.

In my config file I have the apm0 device uncommented
but it does not show up during a dmesg. Is that OK?
Should the apm0 device NOT show up during a dmesg?

Also, what does this apm0 device do? In LINT is says

apm: Laptop Advanced Power Management (experimental)

and so it seems that it is for laptops, and not for my
"full size" pc.  And so it seems that it should do
nothing for this kind of computer.

In fact I have gone into the CMOS and enabled "stanby
mode" to engage after 20 mins. of idle time. But I
have noticed that my computer never does to into
standy mode.

Thanks for the help.

citrix ica client

[Will Saxon]

Is anyone using the citrix_ica port with complete success? I just installed it on this 
fairly fresh (<2 week old) 4.7-stable machine, and the software is not behaving at all 
like I remember. Wfcmgr seems to basically not work at all (buttons don't do anything, 
drop down boxes dont drop, selection boxes do not allow selection, text fields do not 
allow text entry, etc), it occasionally 'freezes' X also, requiring a restart.

Re: Reconfigured named, but now getting errors

[Stacey Roberts]

Hi Ceri,
   I understand why you would suggest that I add an A record for
www.vickiandstacey.com in the zone and reverse files, but what remains
with me is wondering *why* all was well earlier this morning - that is:
I was able to resolve .vickiandstacey.com, returning the external IP
addr.., *and* able to resolve other local machines on the private lan
(including Demon.vickiandstacey.com), returning local private IP
addresses for them.

Upon my return from work (feeling rather pleased with myself too) I
thought I'd like to see this again, but that's when I saw that I was now
unable to resolve www.vickiandstacey.com (other Internet hosts were fine
btw).

With respect to you suggestion though, presuming that I am supposed to
add the external IP address for Demon in the zone file, what then
becomes of Demon's *internal* address?

That is to say, running nslookup from another lan box I would like
Demon's 192.168. address returned, but running nslookup on
www.vickiandstacey.com should return the *external address (which is
what I saw earlier this morning).

>From your e-mail advice last evening, I thought that the new set up I
would attempting to implement would have then involved enabling my local
boxes to use Demon to resolve local machine names, but for external
addresses, my nameserver set-up would be such that these queries would
then be passed to my ISP's NS's.

Have I still got this concept wrong?

Thanks for the encouraging words by the way, I do appreciate your
efforts.

Forgot to mention - I installed the OpenMotif port before the citrix 
client (required for Nedit). Perhaps this is why it runs well for me? I 
use OpenMotif in Linux too, I've never tried Citrix with Lesstif.

Increasing the total number of devices

[Roman Ramirez]

Hello all,

Im playing with vnconfig and /dev/vn's.

I have tested that cannot have a vn512 device, and what Im planning will
need a lot more (thousands)


Please, is there any way of increasing the total number of devices of a
kind (in my case, vn devices) to have thousands...


And another related question, is there any problem if I mount all this
"thousand" devices? How many disks (virtual) can I have mounted at a
time?


Where can I find this variables and information related?

You have told your nameserver that there is no such host as
www.vickiandstacey.com.

Ergo, it has responded:

This is why I suggested using private.vickiandstacey.com for your private

X and tohiba Satelitte 4000CDT

[Morten Grunnet Buhl]

Hey guys I have some trouble with getting X up and runnig on my laptop,
a toshiba satelitte 4000CDT I installed X from prebuild packaged gotten
from ftp.dk.freebsd.org. I get no errors in /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

when I type startx X starts and then shuts donw quickly with this
messages:

I see the default X manager to a split second and...
...

 CRTclk
 FPclk

waiting for X server to shut down?
...

I suspect this to be a problem with the packages from the error
messages? I dont think the error is in the X conf file since it starts
up. Hope someone can help? maybe its a toshiba problem?
oh, and I have agp module loaded.

Running xdm or kdm after booting

[Jose Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

I have followed the instructions in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html
to configure my FreeBSD 4.7 system to use xdm as the login
session manager, but it did not work. I have also tried kdm
without success. I have attached the /var/log/xdm-errors and
/var/log/kdm.log. It seems that the x server is refusing
connection.

Running the x server from the console (with startx) works
without problem.

Any clues?
