How to backup a disk ?
hi, I have a 6G disk and a 40G disk on which FreeBSD is installed. My system does not fill 6G yet and I'd like to copy it to the smaller disk before it grows. But I would like to have the copy bootable with preserved privileges UIDs and GIDs, only the fstab changed. Which tools could I use to get this backup? Thank you in advance.

RE: restore question
Jack L. Stone wrote: There IS a program similar to Ghost with respect to making an image. It's called dd and it's already installed on your FBSD system. Run man 1 dd for options. Bear in mind that if you want an image of your whole disk, you'll need the 2nd one to be at least equal in size, but you will lose any part of the 2nd HD that is larger than HD #1 (I think Ghost does that too -- or used to). dd can be limited to imaging only a slice however. Ghost can be used: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=nllr=ie=UTF-8selm=8t41s5%24nhh%241%40n yheter.crt.se Ghost will tread UFS/FFS as an array of blocks, The only problem is that ghost will copy everything: freespace files, superblocks. Zerofilling the filesystems might be a solution (never tried, but see link) dd can copy a single file, a part of a file, a raw partition or a part of a raw partition, and can even copy data from stdin to stdout while modifying it en route (Unix backup Recovery -- by Curtis Preston p.72) But how could I make an image from my system, and then write it to a (smaller) tape with dd? compressing it? Could I use zero-filling here as well? What about: http://partimage.sourceforge.net/ ? --- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, R.J.

The reason I originally asked, is that I am building a new FreeBSD 4.7 server, in a test environment, which I then, when it is done, want to migrate to the real server. I really wish there was something like GHOST I could use for FreeBSD. I mean, just a prog that will make an image of the entire disk, that can be restored as an image. And I'm surprised, actually, that I cannot find such a program. While readily available for the home market, you would think that a need existed for servers too to have the ability to make image backups. Apart from migratory reasons, it would make a full restore a lot easier when I would just lose the then minutes or so restoring a GHOST image in case of a calamity, instead of the painstaking process of what basically boils down to doing a complete new install, spanning at least several hours.

I have one server, though, where these messages are not being displayed. I haven't changed anything of which that I'm aware that would cause this, and my /etc/syslog.conf file seems okay: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console This sends syslog messages to the console. If you su to root on a virtual tty, you're not on the console normally. To get the messages anyways put the following line in /etc/syslog.conf: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit root When I login remotely, and become root, I would like authentication errors and such to display on my terminal. I seem to remember once seeing an option that asked me if I wanted /dev/console to be redirected to any root tty, but for the life of me, I can't seem to locate where this option is.

Network Troubles.
Hi guys. I have two subnets with static public IP's. Both point to my hardware SDSL router. One is 80.123.16.64-80.123.16.71 with 80.123.16.65 as the router IP and the other 123.234.173.128-255 with 123.234.173.129 as the router IP. I have LAN behind my firewall. It uses 80.123.16.66 to talk to the outside. 80.123.16.66 resides on one nic with a couple extra 80.123.16.64/224 IPs aliased on it. I run natd and NAT these IP's to misc services behind my firewall. When I add both 80.123.16.66 and 123.234.173.130 to my firewall I can connect to and from my LAN fine. I can ping both IP's from inside and outside and connect to the services on my DMZ and to my LAN boxes. But I also have a few boxes on the 123.234.173.128/128 subnet connected directly to my switch which is connected to the router. When I add 123.234.173.130 to a separate nic on my firewall, I cannot talk to the other boxes on that subnet anymore, even though they are not connected to my firewall but directly to a hub. Every connection attempt from the LAN or outside fails. But then I can speak to 123.234.173.130 just fine. One more thing. I have 80.123.16.68 also connected directly to my switch and it works just fine. I am pretty confused. Any idea what can cause that? INTERNET - Router with 80.123.16.64-71 123.234.173.128-255 - 3com Switch - Firewall with 80.123.16.66, 80.123.16.67, 80.123.16.69 123.234.173.130 - Lan DMZ x | | | x A few boxes with public IP's - on both 80.123.16.64-71 123.234.173.128-255 and firewalling directly on them. Another thing, can I run natd on two different nics? Something like natd_interface=dc1 xl0 ? I want LAN and DMZ to use 2 different gw IP's. Thanks in advance.

This questions comes up monthly and the archives has numerous postings over the past several months that will fill more details. Yes, the question comes up many times; yet the right answer keeps lacking. :) Before I asked, I had, of course, done a bit of searching. And found that there are many disadvantages to using dd. For one, using disk-blocks, instead of reading files sequentially, like tar and Ghost do, enhances the risk of data-corruption. For two, with dd you need to unmount filesystems first. Which makes it pretty useless on a production server. Yeah, like I can really afford to have my /usr slice be absent for half-an-hour. I think not. :) Actually, we are talking about backup, but the real issue is restore. Everybody can make a tar of the root system, or a dd image. Sure. Restoring it, however, in a manner that will yield you a bootable, instant runnable system, now that is another matter. And what to do with special cases like /dev? In all my perusing the net, I have yet to encounter one solution that said: This is how you can make a full system backup, with this image, that you can immediately restore on a blank harddisk, and have your system up and running again. Many suggestions I read about ways to backup. But, like I said, restoring is the real issue. I can backup /proc for sure; the wisdom of restoring it on a life system, however, is another matter. That is why the only clean way of doing this, would be to make a disk-image, like Ghost does. And Ghost, so unlike dd, does NOT use disk-blocks, but reads files sequentially. When making a disk image, Ghost basically just does several partition images, and then adds partition table info to the overall disk image. No need to zero out the disk first, like with dd, so as not to have it waste too much space. Still looking... - Mark Your research is a little short of the mark. I have made bootable backups many times using dd and dump/restore -- yes, and on a live system too. With a 40GB HD with 1GH CPU, a dd can be done in about 15 mins. That speed depends too on the bs=xxx size used all the way from 1024 to 1m. You can check the I/O speed like this: Here's an example with an IDE drive: #iostat ad0 1 tty ad0 cpu tin tout KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in id 03 5.19 7 0.03 11 0 4 1 84 0 126 127.36 183 22.74 0 0 6 2 92 0 44 128.00 190 23.76 0 0 2 0 98 0 44 128.00 191 23.89 0 0 5 0 95 0 44 128.00 191 23.88 0 0 7 1 92 As you can see, it's really doing 128 kB transfers, for an average transfer rate of almost 24 MB/s. I've used 8192 and found it wasn't necessary to even run fsck on the backed-up HD... just switched the cables and booted right up. You will probably have to run fsck on dd'd HD images. I prefer to use a dump/restore script (tabkes care of FDISK/LABEL too) that keeps a bootable backup hard disk always at the ready (I also move backups across the network for more safety and have restored that on another HD with 100% success). Also, should I want to switch HDs around, I just run the script before shutdown. I've done it many times on a live system, but dropping down to single user is recommended. With dump/restore, I can backup a HD with 6GB in less than 10 mins. Yes, it is a busy box that I can't afford to have down any longer than necessary. I don't know what more you could want... there is NO Ghost that will work to my knowledge. I've done all of the same long searching just like you, but dump/restore is one of the SAFEST way of moving file systems. The handbook says it IS the safeest way. If you want to do it right, study up on dump/restore. I don't trust tar for live filesystems, or to keep permission/links straight although many do use tar. I've used it many times for moving the entire /usr directory. but wouldn't trust it on / or /var (/var maybe -- but why if I can use dump/restore so quickly?). Best regards, Jack L.

Zerofilling the filesystems might be a solution (never tried, but see link) dd can copy a single file, a part of a file, a raw partition or a part of a raw partition, and can even copy data from stdin to stdout while modifying it en route (Unix backup Recovery -- by Curtis Preston p.72) But how could I make an image from my system, and then write it to a (smaller) tape with dd? compressing it? Could I use zero-filling here as well? Will the HD be bootable using Ghost.??? I prefer dd for imaging because it is part of the base FBSD system and thus I trust it more. However, although I have used dd many times, I prefer dump/restore for backup/restore of a FS. I move HDs from machine to machine often this way and boots right up.

Indeed. I'm trying to add SMTP AUTH to my base installation of Sendmail installation without breaking anything! I installed cyrus-sasl without any problems. Now I need to add, according to the Sendmail.readme included with the cyrus-sasl, the following lines to my /etc/make.conf file: # Add SMTP AUTH support to Sendmail SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL - -D_FFR_UNSAFE_SASL SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD+=-lsasl I did that. Now the README says I need to Rebuild FreeBSD. I thought there would be a way around rebuilding the entire world when I just need to rebuild Sendmail You should really follow the instructions, and build world :) so I tried going into /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail and did a make all install but I got this error: This is how I do it: In make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL1 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl from a shell: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail make cleandir make obj make make install This won't work either, if you don't have an old libsm library lying around in /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libsm, and even in that case you should probably rebuild libsm anyway. I used my original config flags with your make commands and got this error: cc: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../lib/libsmutil/libsmutil.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 The sendmail installation that is part of the base system uses libsm.a which is not built when you cd into /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail, but is built separately from /usr/src/lib/libsm. The same libsm.a that is built as part of the buildworld process is then used to link sendmail and src/bin/rmail. The manual way out of this error that is stopping you is to build a clean copy of libsm.a and then rebuilt sendmail and rmail: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all # cd /usr/src/bin/rmail # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all All these steps and many more[1] will be taken care of if you use the recommended `make buildworld' procedure for upgrading. I hope this helps a bit, Giorgos. [1] Such as building the proper bits for the SSL support when this is required, and making sure that the changes to the libraries you have compiled don't cause build problems to the rest of the `world'.

Sendmail problems with a Verizon relay

The Reply-To: header should say [EMAIL PROTECTED] The From: header should say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chances are it says [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the behavior I'm trying to fix. I don't know if it's in my sendmail.mc or at the verizon relay.

HDs have become cheap, but until a year or so ago, they were not so cheap. This changes the dynamics while that bible remains static One can buy a 80GB HD for less than $100.00. A 40GB for about $70.00. How much do tape drives tapes cost..??? I do have tape for quick offsite removal. BUT, that tape is NOT as current as having a HD backup every day or even several times a day. We're not talking about disaster programs here, but backups and restores expeditiously. Furthermore, I did not say one shouldn't use tapes too if they choose to. Nor did I say I didn't keep backups offsite. One can never have too many backups. But, if I want my CURRENT data to be backed up should my main HD suddenly crash, I don't want to go looking for a tape backup to restore that takes a long time and is not nearly as current. Moreover, take a look, now there are accessories that are like drawers that hold your HD so they slip right in and out. Even have a handle on the front. What is to stop one from pulling out a HD from the backup server that has the server backups... If one doesn't have the budget for extra HDs, then other methods must be used obviously Common sense + backup/restore program + budget = solution (probably left something out of that quick equation).

Re: How to backup a disk ?
hi, I have a 6G disk and a 40G disk on which FreeBSD is installed. My system does not fill 6G yet and I'd like to copy it to the smaller disk before it grows. But I would like to have the copy bootable with preserved privileges UIDs and GIDs, only the fstab changed. Which tools could I use to get this backup? First, I am presuming there is nothing you want to save on the small disk (or you have already preserved it somewhere). While booted to FreeBSD Used fdisk(8) to create one large FreeBSD slice on the small disk. fdisk -IB da1 (or ad1 or whatever device the disk is) will slice the disk and put a standard boot sector on it. Then use disklabel(8) to initialize the slice and add boot blocks disklabel -w -r -B da1s1 (or ad1s1 or whaever) Then use disklabel to edit the partition table on the slice Look at what you already have to figure out appropriate sizes. disklabel -e -r da1s1 (ad1s1 or watever) add the partitions as needed. Note the size is in 512 byte blocks Put '*' in for offset for all but partition a: and c: so disklabel will calculate offset for you. For a: and c: put in '0'. Take the defaults for fsize (1024) bsize (8192) and bps/cg unless you really want to play with that. Omit the comments at the end of the line after #. Partition c: is the whole slice and is type 'unused' partition b: will probably be swap and is type 'swap' The remaining partitions will be files systems and type '4.2BSD' Finally, run newfs on the newly created partitions, something like: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rda1s1a (or Rad1s1a or whatever) e etc Don't newfs the swap partition or the c: partition Make mount points for the new partitions cd / mkdir newpa mkdir newpe etc Edit fstab to add entries for the new partitions and mount them /dev/da1s1a/newpaufsrw2 2 /dev/da1s1e/newpeufsrw2 2 etc mount -a or just manually mount them mount /dev/da1s1a /newpa mount /dev/da1s1e /newpe etc Now you can dump restore cd /newpa dump 0af - / | restore rf - cd /newpe dump 0af - /prev_e_mount_pt | restore rf - etc Now, shutdown your system, swap the drives and reboot. If you made the partitions identical (in name eg a,b,e,f,etc, not size) and edited /etc/fstab before dumping root then it should all come up with running on the new smaller disk and with the old large disk mounted on the /newpa, /newpe, etc mount points. Note that everything but the dump /restore can be done ahead of time. If you are really worried about losing some thing, you will want to do the dump/restore part in single user mode. So, after getting all the partitions made and editing /etc/fstab. Shutdown/reboot, come up in single user mode. Then do fsck -p mount -u / mount -a or maybe mount -a -t ufs,nonfs if you have nfs mounts in fstab swapon -a Then do the dump/restore operations as indicated above. Then, shut down, sap drives and reboot. jerry Thank you in advance. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

FTP and cron
Hi. I'm still running FreeBSD 4.3, but I suspect the problem isn't specific to that one operating system. I'm having fits running ftp from cron jobs. Shell or expect scripts that execute perfectly from the terminal fail in a seeminly non- deterministic variety of ways when run from cron. No, it's not something simple like cron not running expect, or ftp being in non-interactive mode. The prework all runs correctly, I even set the hash byte count and get the feedback from that... when the put command starts, though, things get different! I get different progress messages, no hash marks, and apparently, no data transferred. The file NAME appears on the remote side, but is 0 length regardless of how long I wait. When I run the scripts from the terminal, it works fine. Can anyone lend any insight or point me in the right direction?

Problems width ESS1869 and 5.0-CURRENT
Hi! I just cvsup-ed the -current branch the other day and rebuilt my kernel. I did this to have support for my FujiFilm FinePix 2800z-camera as a USB mass storage device. But since then my soundcard won't work! It shows up in during boot, and has the right nodes in /dev, but whenever I try to play a sound, the first tone freezes and the computer hangs. Nothing responds, and I have to hit the reset-button. I used to have option PNPBIOS in my kernel, but now I get 'option not supported' or something like that. It's an onboard Compaq OEM ESS1869 soundcard. Attached is my dmesg-output, /dev/sndstat, kernel configuration file and the hints file. Thanks in advance for any help.

The goal is to make installation process easy. It's possible to install without a dedicated swap partition so long as you have sufficient RAM. Probably not advisory to do so unless you have a specific reason. One installed you can easily add a file-backed swap area using vnconfig(8), and there's provision for adding a swap file like that in the startup scripts, so you can make it persist over reboots. However, I fail to see exactly how this makes installations any easier. You do know that you can automate sysinstall(8) actions by loading a config file, and that includes provision for creating whatever partitioning scheme you want. Do it right, and you can set up an auto-install CDRom that you just put into the drive and hit reboot. Come back a bit later, and there is your machine all ready to go.

Re: How to backup a disk ?
Thank you for this note. Actually as I had a previous version of FreeBSD on the small disk but not the same partitions I thought that I could use: # cd big-disk-partition # pax -rwX . /mnt/small-disk-folder to copy each of my partitions, and then edit the fstab on the small disk properly. This would avoid me the disklabel steps. But would it work ? My intention is not to backup the whole system on a regular basis, instead I 'd like to have the small disk to serve as repair tool in case of crash with one partiton dedicated to backup documents. What do you think ? Jerry McAllister wrote: First, I am presuming there is nothing you want to save on the small disk (or you have already preserved it somewhere). While booted to FreeBSD Used fdisk(8) to create one large FreeBSD slice on the small disk. fdisk -IB da1 (or ad1 or whatever device the disk is) will slice the disk and put a standard boot sector on it. Then use disklabel(8) to initialize the slice and add boot blocks disklabel -w -r -B da1s1 (or ad1s1 or whaever) Then use disklabel to edit the partition table on the slice Look at what you already have to figure out appropriate sizes. disklabel -e -r da1s1 (ad1s1 or watever) add the partitions as needed. Note the size is in 512 byte blocks Put '*' in for offset for all but partition a: and c: so disklabel will calculate offset for you. For a: and c: put in '0'. Take the defaults for fsize (1024) bsize (8192) and bps/cg unless you really want to play with that. Omit the comments at the end of the line after #. Partition c: is the whole slice and is type 'unused' partition b: will probably be swap and is type 'swap' The remaining partitions will be files systems and type '4.2BSD' Finally, run newfs on the newly created partitions, something like: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rda1s1a (or Rad1s1a or whatever) e etc Don't newfs the swap partition or the c: partition Make mount points for the new partitions cd / mkdir newpa mkdir newpe etc Edit fstab to add entries for the new partitions and mount them /dev/da1s1a/newpaufsrw2 2 /dev/da1s1e/newpeufsrw2 2 etc mount -a or just manually mount them mount /dev/da1s1a /newpa mount /dev/da1s1e /newpe etc Now you can dump restore cd /newpa dump 0af - / | restore rf - cd /newpe dump 0af - /prev_e_mount_pt | restore rf - etc Now, shutdown your system, swap the drives and reboot. If you made the partitions identical (in name eg a,b,e,f,etc, not size) and edited /etc/fstab before dumping root then it should all come up with running on the new smaller disk and with the old large disk mounted on the /newpa, /newpe, etc mount points. Note that everything but the dump /restore can be done ahead of time. If you are really worried about losing some thing, you will want to do the dump/restore part in single user mode. So, after getting all the partitions made and editing /etc/fstab. Shutdown/reboot, come up in single user mode. Then do fsck -p mount -u / mount -a or maybe mount -a -t ufs,nonfs if you have nfs mounts in fstab swapon -a Then do the dump/restore operations as indicated above. Then, shut down, sap drives and reboot. jerry Thank you in advance. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Running out of swap space?????
I installed 4.7 on a 233MHz with 64MB of RAM. I then added the following packages: Apache2, mySQL, webmin, awstats and Cistron radius. Now boot up hangs when it starts local packages with the following error: Nov 15 00:36:53 clarabel /kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Nov 15 00:40:53 clarabel /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space Nov 15 00:40:53 clarabel /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed Nov 15 00:40:53 clarabel /kernel: pid 108 (radiusd), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space I have removed most packages but it still hangs on the swap_pager error. The swap space is 128MB and none is used according to top. H. Sorry for following up my own post. I didn't notice your memory size before. 64MB + 128MB is not a lot of total space. I am not surprised that you are running out of swap with Apache2, MySQL and webmin running plus other things. Those involve many processes and eat up a lot of space just existing, let alone doing anything. Try 4Xing the memory and 6Xing the swap. jerry I don't know about what TOP is telling you about use, but 128MB is way way small for swap space on a modern machine. As a rule of thumb, I try to have 2 1/2 time memory size for swap space. Swap space is used for paging as well as swap. Just the act of loading up some big think can burn up a lot of space temporarily, even if it doesn't continue to use it. jerry Does anyone know how to solve this? TIA for any help.

Re: How to backup a disk ?
Thank you for this note. Actually as I had a previous version of FreeBSD on the small disk but not the same partitions I thought that I could use: # cd big-disk-partition # pax -rwX . /mnt/small-disk-folder to copy each of my partitions, and then edit the fstab on the small disk properly. This would avoid me the disklabel steps. But would it work ? I would still use dump and restore to copy the partitions. If the small disk is already bootable you could periodically nuke what is in their partitions and dump the ones from the bigger disk and restore to the corresponding partition on the smaller one. If that is not your live backup, then you don't have to do that very often - just when you make an an OS change - like an upgrade. jerry My intention is not to backup the whole system on a regular basis, instead I 'd like to have the small disk to serve as repair tool in case of crash with one partiton dedicated to backup documents.

RE: restore question
Jack L. Stone wrote, While that may have been the bible, common sense should apply and also times change. Last time I looked Tape drives and tapes were very expensive. HDs have become cheap, but until a year or so ago, they were not so cheap. This changes the dynamics while that bible remains static One can buy a 80GB HD for less than $100.00. A 40GB for about $70.00. How much do tape drives tapes cost..??? I do have tape for quick offsite removal. BUT, that tape is NOT as current as having a HD backup every day or even several times a day. We're not talking about disaster programs here, but backups and restores expeditiously. Actually we were talking about a good bare-metal system recovery procedure (with dump/restore or dd or ghost). Not about the most-up-to-date backup. I will not make an image of my hard drive every night. In fact I make 2 kinds of backups: * dumps of filesystems (for long-term archiving) * nightly tar backups of userfiles (tar for cross platform portability) The dumps are not as frequent as the userfiles-backups. When updates are applied or new applications are installed, a new dump will be done (and archived, next to the old one). Furthermore, I did not say one shouldn't use tapes too if they choose to. Nor did I say I didn't keep backups offsite. One can never have too many backups. But, if I want my CURRENT data to be backed up should my main HD suddenly crash, I don't want to go looking for a tape backup to restore that takes a long time and is not nearly as current. Moreover, take a look, now there are accessories that are like drawers that hold your HD so they slip right in and out. Even have a handle on the front. What is to stop one from pulling out a HD from the backup server that has the server backups... If one doesn't have the budget for extra HDs, then other methods must be used obviously If speed of recovery is more important than off-site archiving, you are totally right! Personally, I prefer my archives on tape because a tape is less expensive and more reliable for that purpose. If you use the combined strategie (hdd frequent backups + Tape for archiving) it is a good solution. YMMV Common sense + backup/restore program + budget = solution (probably left something out of that quick equation). I agree --- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, R.J.

I'm having fits running ftp from cron jobs. Shell or expect
scripts that execute perfectly from the terminal fail in a seeminly non-
deterministic variety of ways when run from cron.
Just for completeness, here are the cron results and redirected
file outputs, respectively, of the results of running the same
stripped-down script. This script doesn't do all the prework
that the big script does, but it still demonstrates the
problem. Following both outputs is the script itself.
The set env(TERM) vt100 thing was just a desparation measure
I tried after reading in the expect man page about telnet hanging
if there is no TERM environment set. Since new ftp can do somewhat
sophisticated terminal things (progress bars), I thought it was
worth trying. No difference.
The only cleverness in this is to try to detect if things are
working correctly or not by use of the hash detection and the
exp_continue. If you chop that out and adjust the timeout value
accordingly, it will take the script longer to fail (with a
slow connection, which is what I'm dealing with), but again,
the aggregate results are the same.
I wish to emphasize that it's not purely an expect thing. I get
the same aggregate results (a 0-length file created at the remote
site and nothing else) from shell scripts, just less feedback.

Then I activated lpd, and start printing using lpr as regular user, but I could not get anything meaningful other than garbage, be that plain text file or postscript, just some random ASCII chars on the page. I thought this might be filtering problem, so I installed apsfilter package from the ports collection using the distribution CD. Here's my /etc/printcap after going thru apsfilter SETUP : # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL wulfgar|cdj850;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/wulfgar/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this In the SETUP process, printing test page worked perfectly, I can see the usual 4 rectangle grid layout, complete with, font size testing,screening test, gamma test (tiger heads), geometric objects, and photo of Andreas Klemm. So I installed the setup into /etc/printcap and tried to print as regular user using lpr command some small PS files. It printed garbage, tried plain text file as well, same thing, garbage. Bothers me to no end, how come the test page is perfect but regular printing is screwed up totally ? Things I have tried so far : - Changing to interrupt mode (IRQ 7) and recompiled the kernel, same thing. - Disabled DMA specification (getting rid of drq 1), same thing. - Re-ran SETUP and printed test pages, all test pages printed perfectly.

Re: I'm probably overlooking something really stupid but...
Well, I apologize, I wasn't sure if you wanted to be bombarded with that much of a help request. However, I feel like a bit of a newbie so I will go ahead and be so humble as to ask. I've been running FreeBSD on a secondary machine since early 98 in one form or another ... but this just happens to be touching on an area I've yet to really explore. I think I may have set up my syslog wrong because I don't think the natd entries are getting logged right ... and I kinda wonder if that doesn't play a roll. To give you an idea what I'm dealing with, this is the spam I'm getting on my xterm: Nov 15 00:01:00 Lucretia /kernel: pid 197 (syslogd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:01:00 Lucretia /kernel: pid 197 (syslogd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:01:00 Lucretia /kernel: pid 197 (syslogd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Well, this is already too late. It is just saying over and over again that your file system is full. It has, not doubt, even quit logging that by now, because it is too full. You need to get that log file cleaned out so you can get things running again. Then monitor the logs and see what is filling it up before it gets too full. If you have several /var/log/ messages files, rm some of the oldest ones to make room. If you only have one (you aren't rotating logs like you should) just nuke that one and do a touch on messages. Your /var partition is pretty small. You will have to keep close track of things and rotate out and delete old logs frequently with that small of a /var file system. The /var/db directory is kind of big too, but not as big as one some of our machines I just looked at. So, it is probably normal. You just need more space or need to keep a tighter reign on logs. jerry Nov 15 00:02:50 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:02:50 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:05:37 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:05:37 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:14:31 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:14:31 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 00:24:26 Lucretia last message repeated 41 times Nov 15 00:24:26 Lucretia last message repeated 41 times Nov 15 00:34:39 Lucretia last message repeated 85 times Nov 15 00:34:39 Lucretia last message repeated 85 times Nov 15 00:43:46 Lucretia last message repeated 26 times Nov 15 00:43:46 Lucretia last message repeated 26 times Nov 15 00:54:11 Lucretia last message repeated 106 times Nov 15 00:54:11 Lucretia last message repeated 106 times Nov 15 01:04:17 Lucretia last message repeated 11 times Nov 15 01:04:17 Lucretia last message repeated 11 times Nov 15 01:14:27 Lucretia last message repeated 14 times Nov 15 01:14:27 Lucretia last message repeated 14 times Nov 15 01:24:37 Lucretia last message repeated 63 times Nov 15 01:24:37 Lucretia last message repeated 63 times Lucretia# Nov 15 01:33:25 Lucretia last message repeated 6 times Nov 15 01:33:25 Lucretia last message repeated 6 times Nov 15 01:36:04 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Nov 15 01:36:04 Lucretia /kernel: pid 180 (natd), uid 0 on /var: file system full Now, I've had it happen before where /var filled up and I got the crap spammed out of me because of it and that was as I mentioned because Apache was filling the httpd logs because some jackass was trying IIS exploits.

RE: SSH through a firewall
Kevin, Thanks for your prompt reply. So, I added (to natd_flags in /etc/rc.conf): -redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.2:22 22 My understanding is that this line should tell natd to forward all incoming ssh packets to the desired destination machine (10.0.0.2:22), port 22. The results, however, are not what I'm expecting (no change). Any help? Thanks again. Again, please cc [EMAIL PROTECTED], as the address is not subscribed.

Re: Seeking command similar to dd

I used mkisofs the other day, then burncd (forgot to say fixate on the end of the command line though), and now I cannot mount this CD. Ideas? I'm fairly sure that you can successfully run burncd fixate just after running burncd data ..., but I don't know what can be done in between without messing things up. I don't know if the drive has memory which gets used in the fixate process or if it's something that can be done from scratch at any time after burning the data.

Sort of true, though real memory is still different from swap and a busy system wth a lot of processes hanging around can use a lot of swap even when it isn't killing real memory. Anyway, I have a couple of systems with 1GB memory and 2GB swap and many with 0.5 GB memory and 1GB swap. and even one (non-FreeBSD) system with 7.5 GB memory and 20 GB swap.

It really depends on how the system is being used. Some newer stuff seems to suck up swap pretty quickly and just devour memory. You'd think MS designed some of the stuff.

Virtual host aliases and ip forwarding
I'm looking into different ways to connect an Internet connected machine to a local network while still preserving the security of the internal network to some degree. I am not very familiar with virtual host aliases, but I'm trying to understand. If I had a real ip address, and an alias ip address assigned to one interface, will it work the same way as would a dualhomed machine with two interface cards? Could I have an alias to my internal network, which would allow the Internet connected machine to communicate with an internal server, but that would not allow traffic from the Internet to reach the internal network (unless someone gained access to the internet connected machine?).

(msg sent twice as I did not get feeback) hi, I have an Epson Stylus Color 880 which I want to run through apsfilter (or any other server) for lp but: # /usr/ports/print/pips-sc880 : make === pips-sc880-2.1 is forbidden: Momentally. Because of copyright violation noted by EPkowa co.. I've installed an older version of pips-sc880 but no way to get my printer printing (it just reacts by a little noise and movement when requested). Do you know of any other driver that could do ? Thank you in advance To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Assembly
Hi all Just have some assembly questions. Why do BSD pass arguments via the stack and not the registres like Linux and windows? Is there a list of what (system) calls are in the kernel and what their numbers are? How do I call a function I have written my self (in C++)? Hope someone can/will answer these :-) br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Indeed. I'm trying to add SMTP AUTH to my base installation of Sendmail installation without breaking anything! I installed cyrus-sasl without any problems. Now I need to add, according to the Sendmail.readme included with the cyrus-sasl, the following lines to my /etc/make.conf file: # Add SMTP AUTH support to Sendmail SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL - -D_FFR_UNSAFE_SASL SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD+=-lsasl I did that. Now the README says I need to Rebuild FreeBSD. I thought there would be a way around rebuilding the entire world when I just need to rebuild Sendmail You should really follow the instructions, and build world :) so I tried going into /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail and did a make all install but I got this error: This is how I do it: In make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl -DSASL1 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl from a shell: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail make cleandir make obj make make install This won't work either, if you don't have an old libsm library lying around in /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libsm, and even in that case you should probably rebuild libsm anyway. I used my original config flags with your make commands and got this error: cc: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../lib/libsmutil/libsmutil.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 The sendmail installation that is part of the base system uses libsm.a which is not built when you cd into /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail, but is built separately from /usr/src/lib/libsm. The same libsm.a that is built as part of the buildworld process is then used to link sendmail and src/bin/rmail. The manual way out of this error that is stopping you is to build a clean copy of libsm.a and then rebuilt sendmail and rmail: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all # cd /usr/src/bin/rmail # make cleandir make cleandir # make obj make depend make all All these steps and many more[1] will be taken care of if you use the recommended `make buildworld' procedure for upgrading.

yes, I tried several of them (generic ps, stcolor,..).. without finding the good one, I tried also CUPS which complains about me (root) not having authorizations to configure (anyway CUPS would need a driver too so I did not try manual config), and EPKowa (Linux based server which seems incompatible).

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 3 September 1999 This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people
The Complete FreeBSD, third edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition Last revision: 2 August 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps. See page 302 of the third edition to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-3.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Page ii ___ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the
