If you have already downloaded the mozilla distfile, put it in

pppd script and DVD-RAM backups

2002-11-22 Thread Bob Hall

I've put some bash code for starting and stopping pppd on my web site. 
I've also put up my complete procedure for backing up a FBSD box to 
a DVD-RAM disk and doing a full restore. This includes some bash code 
that simplifies the backup process considerably. I've tested the 
backup and restore procedure by restoring my current setup to an 
unused hard disk, and everything worked perfectly. That doesn't mean 
that I didn't introduce any errors when I edited the web page. :)

In the home directory---there's an openoffice.bin or perhaps soffice.bin
or even .openoffice.bin, something like that--the file that's most
likely causing you trouble though is something .sversionrc in the home

Look for a file called ".install_done" in the appropriate "work"

How to deinstall openoffice?

Does anyone know what file the installer might be finding that 
prevents it from reinstalling? I am giving up the FreeBSD package 
and trying the linux version, but whatever I deleted when cleaning 
up the old install left something that makes subsequent install 
runs think there's an installation in /usr/local/bin. I can't 
figure out what it is or how to force it to install.

Any ideas?

The tag you have used will download the latest Stable release, i.e.
everything up to a few hours ago post 4.7 release .. a squillion files.

To get upto 4.5 release I think you will need a tag of

RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE

After that change this to "RELENG_4_5" which should start to get you the
security updates when you again run cvsupit.

-And -ditto- to go up the release chain...

The src for 4.7 takes about 300 MB.
Then you need space for the object files .. say >300

I am not sure about the ports collection, a couple of hundred maybe.

Docs ? It's all online, so you could leave them out if you are really
tight on space.

I have never upgraded this way, so the chance of success of using the
above to jump from 4.4 to 4.7 in one bound is not something I could
comment on.

Good luck :)

Well, if you're moving from 4.4 to 4.7, there will be *quite* a lot of
files which will have changed.

cvsup installs directly into /usr/{src|ports|doc}. Your sources are
probably in an indeterminate state. However, if you rerun cvsup, it will
fix itself up.

If you're using RELENG_4, you're moving up to -stable, which is effectively
4.7+

If you intend on just upgrading your system sources, you don't need
ports-all and doc-all. src-all is approx 298M and the ports-all is
about 162M. Dunno about doc-all. Removing the ports-all and doc-all
will probably just squeeze your update in. I'm unsure whether you'll
have enough space to recompile your system though...

Cheers.

cvsupit - file system 105% - what have I done ?

2002-11-22 Thread Richard Shea

Hi - For the first time ever I have tried to upgrade a FreeBSD by using
CVS. In fact I used CVSUPIT. I'm on 4.4-RELEASE and I just wanted to move
up to 4.5,6 or 7.

Well I answered a few questions, pressed the button and the process
commenced 'checking out' hundreds of files. I thought this was a bit
suprising given I thought the whole point of CVS was to only pull those
files which had changed - it just seemed to be pulling everying ! Anyway
I had to CTRL-C it after a while as the file system had gone to 105%. 

My question is (CVSUP file below) can anyone tell me what it has done and
what I was doing wrong ? Is there some sort of standard rule of thumb for
how much extra file space will be required ? I was expecting to pull a
couple of hundred sources and that would be that ... 

Do I now have half 4.x (where x > 4) sources and half 4.4 or was CVSUPIT
copying files into a work directory ?

The other thing is that I really only wanted to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5
initially but RELENG_4 was the nearest I got to being asked what release
I was after - was there something I missed there ?

Any info would be welcome.

regards

richard shea.

ps : The CVSUP file which CVSUPIT created looks like this ...

*default  host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org

Hi again,

I was having a great time getting X up and then ran
into a problem. I hope you can help. Here are some
particulars. I run an ibm 350 desktop 166Mhz. There is
a S3 86c765(Trio64v+) video chip. The monitor is a
micron 15FGX 50-60 Hz(no other info). Both the chip
and the ibm type (clocktype?) specs were in xf86config
setup. I chose a minium install custom package ie.
SVGA and SVG16 and recommended libs. and a couple of
window managers. After install, I copied XFConfig to
the /usr/X11R6 path. I have tried changing the link to
either Vga server(last implementing leaves X in /X11R6
dir.), set all ttys to "/usr/libexec/gettyPc" 1...8.
The only line commented out in the "devices configured
by xfconfig" section is the VideoRam 1024 line. .cshrc
and .profile have the X11R6/lib paths
shell path = /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games
/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11  Also, no files are in the
X11/libexec dir. 
Results: startx sends message ""execve failed for
/usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno2)""  then...
""_X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect:errno2""
this message runs six times and givesup. then...
""xinit:No such file or dierctory(errno2) unable to
connect to X server"" then...
""Xinit no such process(errno3) Server err.""

Don't know where to go from here, hope you can help.

There is a SanDisk model which works just about that easily.

Need to run usbd. Then the CF card appears on /dev/da0 on my system. 
Have ufs filesystems on the CF cards we use so root has to mount them. 
But if dealing with CF cards from a camera I'd look into mtools from 
the ports. Used it a lot in the past with floppies. Do most DOS-like 
commands to floppies without mounting the filesystem. Without need of 
being root if you can read/write /dev/da0.

Thanks a lot jimmy and axel ;-)

* 'script' could do the job, I thought about putting something like 
script -q "/tmp/logging/$USER.`date "+%d-%m-%Y.%H:%M:%S"`"
  in /etc/profile, so ok the user doesn't notice she's in a forked shell,
  until she needs to exit it. Then a double 'exit' is needed, so that will
  show her something is wrong, and nothing prevents from doing stuff after
  typing the first 'exit'..
  Is there a better way to do this with 'script'?

* 'watch' sounds very nice, but I need to be connected at the same time, thus
  need a reliable way to get notified about a bash login? 
  Or is it supposed to be used by launching a couple of watch processes, each
  snooping one of the ttyp's? That would work I guess, maybe piped into gzip.
  BTW, shouldn't the warn(8) man page warn that /dev/snpX devices needs to be
  MAKEDEV'd first? But it's probably just me, I am really skilled at missing
  important info in the doc ;-)

Thank you again for your help..

By crashes, do you mean you get that message, an unrecoverable error
thing?  I found that in 4.7, installing it caused no problems. However,
playing with 5.0 DR 2, during install I get two errors--one about a
README --I get that one in 4.7 as well, without it causing problems.
However, in 5.0 there's another error message, (I'm not being more
specific because this was more of a casual attempt on a sacrificial box
to see what would and wouldn't work) and I can't get it to run even as
root.

FWIW, on the successful installs, I more or less followed their Linux
install instructions--I'd download it somewhere, as root, untar it into
/tmp then as user simply do ./install.

Don't know if this helps at all, I'm afraid

  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

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:

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

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

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.

Sure don't!  Thanks for your time.

For anyone who reads the linux-igd documentation.  Their route add line is
incorrect (at 'netmask') for FreeBSD, and the corrected route add line (with
'-netmask' - thanks Paul) does not work either.

The method I've found to work is to use an ifconfig alias (See Virtual Hosts in
the FreeBSD Handbook).

Would like to install VMware on my FreeBSD box. 

Can I install the old ones from the /ports directory? 
How would I get a license for the old version2?
Do I have to buy a license even for the older copies?

The error you reported was due to the fact that you specified 'netmask'
rather than '-netmask'. Since you didn't mention that you also tried the
latter, I could only assume you didn't try. Otherwise, your plea for help
would be poorly formulated, and I didn't want to assume that.

Now you are saying '-netmask' doesn't work either, but you didn't say in
what way. The error could not be the same. Since you didn't reply with
further information, I guess now I can only assume you don't require any
assistance.

To be a bit more precise: sendmail will typically display two version
numbers, $v (version number of the sendmail binary), and $Z, the the
configuration version number. Both commonly found here:

O SmtpGreetingMessage=$j Sendmail $v/$Z; $b

Sendmail read its version number (what it will show on connect) off its
/etc/sendmail.cf file. It will hold an entry that says something like:

  # Configuration version number

  DZ8.12.3

Unless you specifically build a new sendmail.cf (with m4), and installed it,
it will simply display the old string.

OT: QMail, Procmail, & Root privs.

2002-11-22 Thread C J Michaels

I am running qmail(mbox)+procmail.  I have a script that is run from
/usr/local/etc/procmailrc.  For reasons I can't fathom it seems to have
dropped root privs before the script specifies it (DROPPRIV).

It's a very simple script, it sets some env variables, runs 'test' and
'grep' and delivers mail based on the results.  Problem is the files
aren't readable but everyone and test and grep need to run as root.

Has anyone run into this or have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot? 
Verbost logging does say anything about dropping privs.

Thanks

   You can do that.  I prefer to modify them in place and let the system

   Rsync is a good idea if you want your files backed up on a separate

Questions about scsi hba driver

2002-11-22 Thread yiding_wang

This is the first expecrience for me with FreeBSD and I am going to start making fuss 
here.

I am planning to write drivers for iSCSI and FC initiator as well as target ramdisk on 
FreeBSD, and just installed 4.7 and downloaded a few docs.  By looking into CVS, I got 
a bit confused on driver building and loading process as well as source file layout.  
I will use Buslogic driver bt.c as an example.  For better understanding, any 
reference to scsi driver under Linux, Unixware. Solaris, SCO OS5 will be welcomed 
since I have written drivers for scsi / FC / iSCSI under those enviornments.

Here comes the first set of question:

1, I noticed that there are a few places drivers are spreaded.  For example
/sys/dev/buslogic/bt.c, v
/sys/dev/buslogic/bt_pci.c, v
/sys/dev/buslogic/btreg.h, v

   and same files and others which cover same hardware are located at:
   /sys/i386/scsi/Attic/bt.c, v
   /sys/i386/scsi/Attic/btreg.h, v
   /sys/pci/Attic/bt9xx.c, v
   /sys/pci/Attic/bt_pci.c, v
   etc.

   Why these drivers are spreaded?  
   If I have a pci initiator driver, can the source only be located under 
/sys/dev/vendor instead of also put some part of code under /sys/pci/Attic?
   Does FreeBSD requires realmode driver to boot? Those bus (EISA, ISA, PCI) related 
subdirectories look like Solaris realmode driver distribution.

2, Where is proper place for driver source code?  If this driver does not intend for a 
boot device, can it be placed anywhere like other Unixes?

3, There are Makefiles for aic7xxx, e.g. under module, but nothing for bt.c.  Does 
that mean buslogic driver not supporting loadable module?

4, There are utility of "pkg_add" for driver loading, similar to Solaris, and 
"kldload" for module loading, similar to Linux.  Can I assume both methods work for 
scsi driver.  The difference will be kldload works only for this boot and module will 
be gone after "kldunload" or system reboot but "pag_add" will hook driver to kernel 
from boot to boot till pag_delete is performed.  

5, If driver will be loaded with pkg_add, where are those related package required 
header files located?

Many thanks!

Why would you need that?  (It's been deprecated in some earlier

Check that.  I just switched back since the pcm driver causes xemacs

No, what you need is to actually stop the old process and then start
the new executable.  SIGHUP just tells it to (if I recall correctly)
re-read its configuration.

It's not listed at "http://freebsd.dk/ata/";, but if it follows the ATAPI
standards, it's supposed to work with "burncd".  (There might be
exceptions, but I've not read of any.)  It probably works with the

I've never installed sendmail from ports, but I suspect your version that
is part of the base system is still being run. Your install from ports is
probably in another path (just a guess - usually ports places stuff in the
/usr/local/directoryxxx path) and you'll need to make changes in your
rc.conf file to point to the new program on starup. Also, you would then
need to be in the new different directory for the make start/stop
stuff. you should be able to do a ps -auxw | grep sendmail to see from
where the program comes.

increasing the size of a file system

2002-11-22 Thread Thomas Connolly

Sorry if there is several copies of this coming through, having some sendmail 
problems too.

Hello all.  I am having a problem installing a very large program.  It wants
to extract itself to the /tmp directory but there is not enough space.  I
have a 30 Gb hard drive that is only 20% full so there is plenty of free
space to work with.  I've tried increasing the size of the file system as
follows:

umount -f /dev/ad0s1f
growfs -s 4194304 /dev/ad0s1f

I get an error similar to the following:
file system not grown (137 -> 137)  [not sure of the exact values]

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or is there another work around
 such as making the program think that /tmp is really somewhere else with
 more space?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom

PICOBSD: problems when Kerberos IV enabled!

2002-11-22 Thread Hartmann, O.

Hello.

Under FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I could compile a PicoBSD environment

Now, Kerberos iV enabled, a lot of compile errors occurs in the
unchanged PicoBSD environment:

lines with additional libs definitions, you can see above that I added

-lkrb5 -lkrb -ldes -lcom_err -lkadm5clnt -lkadm5srv -lssl -lkadm

so a lot of errors disappeared. But I can not surpress all of the errors,
either I do not know what libraries also to add or there is a fault
in the build-environment.

Can anyone help?

Re: What happened to my ports system?

Janine C.Buorditez wrote:

How do I find out which port that is?

When I had problems, the pkgdb -F would die and the port with the
problem was in the list were it died. Portupgrade, for example, used
to use pkg_tarup and it would cause problems when you tried to
portupgrade itself. I think you are seeing is something like that. You
have an installed port that is not in the current INDEX lists. I
thought at some point that "pkgdb -fu" was supposed to fix that.

Some of this was easier to fix by pkg_delete portupgrade and its
dependancies and installing from scratch. I think the cutoff was
something like 0805. If you had a version before that, you reinstalled
portupgrade from scratch. That was quite awhile ago and someone just
woke me up by calling me on the telephone after 3 hours of sleep.

You probably have a port in your port list that has been removed and

IRIX and Linux (and HP-UX?) had a "newgrp" command for changing your
current GID (eg, "gid" from "id -g").  I've forgotten, but I suppose
"newgrp" used the group passwords if they were defined.  Users could
change their GID to work in different projects.

I'm not sure why FreeBSD doesn't have the feature, but I suppose someone
thought that the SUIDDIR feature was sufficient.  But I don't know what
it would hurt to have the feature which needn't be used or could easily
be disabled.

You probably caught the MFC of Sam Leffler while it was happening.

Hoping that you didn't actually start using the broken kernel
(although it shouldn't be a problem) ... CVSup again.

You should be able to build fine afterwards.

You were setting permissions on the wrong directory. You are currently in
'importedpictures' and ls is complaining about '.' (the current directory).
So you should set permissions on '.' (or ../importedpictures).

I am confused.  Is this 'My Pictures'  directory on CD or is it stuff 
you have moved to hard disk?   If it is on CD, I don't think you
can set the permissions on that directory because you can't write
to the CD.   I don't know why you can't do an ls.  Try doing
an  ls -laF up there before you cd to importedpictures.

Subject: Running with WinXP

Help! I have successfully managed to install FreeBSD into some free space on
my second hard drive, but I am unable to actually boot into the operating
system! I have tried to find a boot disk with no luck, and the utilities
that modify the boot sector simply throw a wobbler when XP won't let them
access the hard drive!!

Any help is much appreciated!

Chris Murray

*

You will want to have a look at the wobbler(8) man 
page.

OK, seriously - you have a couple of options.  It's 
likely that the XP partition is marked as the active 
one, and if you don't have FreeBSD as one of the 
choices in XP's bootloader (see the FAQ on FreeBSD's 
web site for how to do this) it'll just keep booting 
into XP.

You can get back into the FreeBSD installation 
by booting from floppies or CD (whatever you did the
first time), install the FreeBSD boot loader, and set
the FreeBSD slice bootable.  Or you can try one of the
freeware or shareware bootloaders (XOSL, BootItNG,
etc.), which should work - don't know about XOSL, but
BootItNG looks at the BIOS to see what your bootable
disks/partitions are, so XP should give it no problem.
(I'm currently using it to dual-boot W2K and FreeBSD
on a two-disk RAID-0 array.)  My favorite bootloader
is Grub (in the FreeBSD ports), but using Grub to boot
from RAID-0 is beyond either its capabilities or (more

Need help with my new server hardware

2002-11-22 Thread Søren Neigaard

I have just bought an old IBM PC Server 520 from a company that was
replacing it. If it's possible, I would like to get some information
on it (the company does not have any), and since the computer is only
for my own personal use, I can't afford to get official support, and
therefore I try writing this list. It would be nice if someone who has
a similar server could help me out here, maybe we could take the
discussion off-list, so I don't bother you all with my new hardware.

The server has 16 4.3GB SCSII disks, and it seems to have 4 RAID
controllers (when I look at the RAID configuration tool, but please
correct me if I'm wrong). It also has a floppy, a CD-ROM drive and a
tape backup thing. The tape backup thing, has a display, and can take
a small black box with room for 6 DDS-120 tapes. It also has two
pentium 133MHz processors.

My plan is to get FreeBSD up and running on it, does that sound
possible to you guys?

I don't know much about RAID, but is it possible to configure two or
more "logical" disk with this setup, where each "logical" disk
consists of more physical disk in some RAID setup?

If I view my RAID setup, it looks like this (I have removed the
unnecessary info):

Disk |Size in MB |Raid Level |Stripe Size |Write Policy |Read Ahead
1|4303   |1  |8KB |WT   |On
2|43030  |5  |8KB |WT   |On
3|1074   |0  |8KB |WT   |On
4|2150   |1  |8KB |WT   |On

How can this be done with 4.3GB disks, how can there be disk with the
size of 1074 and 2150?

I'm planning to use RAID level 5, but how do I calculate how much disk
space I will get out of how many disks? I would like one "logical"
disk for SWAP, one for /var, one for /usr and one for /. Does that
sound good?

The tape backup thing is not connected right now, how do I connect it,
and to what? It is sitting in a spare PC Server 520 I got (without any
disks), and it is attached to a controller of some sort (sitting in a
PCI slot). I was thinking that I need to move this controller over to
the other server, but besides the cable from the controller to the
tape thing, there is a cable from the controller to god knows what!?
It seems to be attached to a disk rack thing. What do I do with that,
and what is it used for?

upgrading sendmail to 8.12.6

2002-11-22 Thread Michelle Weeks

I am running freebsd 4.6.2-Release and would like to upgrade sendmail 
from 8.12.3 to 8.12.6.  I tried using make and make install from 
/usr/ports/mail/sendmail and then restarted sendmail using the killall 
-HUP command.  However, when I telnet to localhost port 25, it shows 
that 8.12.3 is still running.  Am I missing a step or do I need to 
delete the older version of sendmail before installing the newer version?

Hello,

i just installed the net/mpd port for creating a vpn. I was able to connect
to it from another machine on my local network, but when i tried to connect
to it from outside my network i got a timeout error (like there isn't an
open port).  i think i have the correct port open on my firewall ( a
different machine than my bsd box ).  i was wondering what port mpd runs on?
I ran  'nmap localhost' on my bsd box and did not find any results for ipsec
or vpn related ports.

Any suggestions?

Yes: either you type cd "My Pictures" or cd My\ Pictures.

Actually, most shells support completion: just type cd My in bash
or tcsh for instance and it will be completed fine.

have installed FreeBSD 2.2.0 up to the current version 4.7. I just want to
know how to add a new driver to a freebsd version. 

I use the example of FreeBSD 2.2.0  and everybody that answered me asked me
why don't you use FreeBSD4.7. Please don't take me wrong, I am happy that
people are respondig to my question, but plesse stop with the use freeBSD
4.7 answer. Everything is explained in my e-mail.

Oh, quite simple.

https cannot be configured with name-based virtual hosts, by design.

jepp.


Jail sits on internal IP, on lo0. fxp0 holds real IP addresses to be accessed from outside. 
I'm forwarding incoming connection to jail, currently with ipnat. I need to pass information 
about real (outside) IP to mod_ssl. That is my problem.

? (I understand what you do - but not why ...)



plain http works perfectly (name-based virthosts).


jepp.

Ok. Why don't you put every single jail with it's outside IP up and let 
it run there (binded to fxp0). What do you want to reach with that setup 
? More security?

Next possibility is to setup a https->http gateway on the external IP 
(binded to fxp0) and forward the un-encrypted requests over to the 
apache (name-based or whatever).

https is designed that way that nobody should be in the middle. So this 
whole setup you described will not work.

Is there any reason you need to run older versions of FreeBSD?  
Generally, the way to get the more advanced drivers is to move
to the more recent OS version.  FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE is the latest
release version and there are '-STABLE' versions and development
versions beyond that.

If you really must have the older version AND the driver, you would
have to look in a more recent version and find the driver and then
try to port it back to the version you want.  It might work if it
doesn't depend on other OS additions that are only available in
the later OS versions.  But, the work would be up to you to do.

Problem with samba since upgrade to samba-2.2.7

2002-11-22 Thread Stacey Roberts

Hello,
 I'm hoping someone might be able to assist me with a problem with
samba I've noticed since upgrading to samba-2.2.7 this week.

First off, after cvsuping the ports tree the latest version available is
samba-2.2.7 but the version displayed at FreeBSD.org's ports/net/samba
is still showing version 2.2.6:

samba-2.2.7 =   up-to-date with port

Here's the set up - 
Samba-2.2.7 on FreeBSD 4.7 Stable running as a PDC on a network. The
problem I'm seeing is that one user always gets "ACCESS DENIED" when
attempting to log in from the Win2K Pro client.

You get the message window that mentions that "you will be logged on
with you local profile, but nothing will be uploaded to the server at
the end of the session. Please contact the systems administrator."

However, once the Win2K box is all loaded up, I can still see the samba
mounted dir shares (home drive, printers etc) and use them. From the PDC
server, smbstatus and swat return details of the same user logged in and
can get status reports of the user's activities.

I've only noticed this login problem (if that's what it is) since the
upgrade to samba (on Thursday, I think). As mentioned before, this is
occurring only for this particular user. All other users listed in
/etc/passwd and added to smbpasswd all do not have this problem. I was
even able to use "root" at the Win2K box and successfully logged in.

Also, everything else appear to be fine otherwise - I can connect to and
use resources located on the Win2K box from *NIX machines, and can even
connect to and print to the windows attached printer across the network
using samba.

Please let me know if there's any further configs / logs that would be
required in order to assist diagnosing this.

Here's my smb.conf:
 $ cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#

"testparm"

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

Driver question

2002-11-22 Thread Denis Fournier

I hope I sent this question to the good posting. I work in a research
environnement and one of my project was to install different kinds of OS's
for testing. I am using emulators, so I don't need hundred of computers in
the lab. For now I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.0 and up in a producted
called VMWare, and it is working fine.
My question is: I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.X but I can't get  the network
up because the if_lnc_p.c driver for pci amd network cards is not
supported. But was supported starting version 2.2.0. I would like to know
if somebody can tell me how to integrate a new driver in a old version of
FreeBSD or tell me of a web site that can help me. I would really
appreciate anybody's help.

Thank you

You probably have a port in your port list that has been removed and 
will have to manually remove it.

syscons works fine with vt220 too.  I do have a custom kernel config,
but the only changes that I've done to the syscons part are:

+optionsMAXCONS=8   # number of virtual consoles
+optionsSC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE  # simplified mouse cursor in text mode
+optionsSC_DISABLE_REBOOT   # disable reboot key sequence
+optionsSC_HISTORY_SIZE=100 # small number of history buffer lines

I believe the Solaris AT386 (or is it 386AT ?) terminal type is pretty
much the same thing as cons25 --- both are variants on the SCO color
console.  Worked pretty well the last time I tried it.  confirmation
of the correct terminal type under Solaris is easily found by grep'ing
for SCO in the Solaris /etc/termcap.

Don't you also have to modify the kernel configuration to support
vt220 compatibility --- this stuff in GENERIC as documented in
pcvt(4)?

# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device  sc0 at isa? flags 0x100

# Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver
#device vt0 at isa?
#optionsXSERVER # support for X server on a vt console
#optionsFAT_CURSOR  # start with block cursor
# If you have a ThinkPAD, uncomment this along with the rest of the PCVT lines
#optionsPCVT_SCANSET=2  # IBM keyboards are non-std

although a man page that talks about FreeBSD 1.0-GAMMA probably
indicates that the whole thing is a bit stale...

Cheers,

Matthew

You can always increase compatibility with other systems by changing
cons25 to vt220 in /etc/ttys.   Not all systems have a cons25 termcap
entry, but they all know about good ol' vt220 terminals.  FreeBSD's
virtual ttys work fine then.

One other thing that I like doing is to make sure that I don't use too
many virtual ttys, and fire up screen on the first 2-3.  Only four ttyv
terminals are more than enough for me.

$ grep -v '^[ ]*#' /etc/ttys | grep ttyv
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25  on  secure
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25  on  secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25  on  secure
ttyv3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25  on  secure

Then, I fire up screen and make sure that my TERM is set to vt220.

$ ps xa | grep 'v[0-9] .* screen'
43035  v0  S+ 0:00.12 screen -ar
47203  v1  S+ 0:00.34 screen -ar

This combination has worked remarkably well both for local programs
and remotely displayed stuff from a Solaris,  Linux or BSD system :)

First of all, try re-cvsup'ing to make sure you didn't accidentally
get some half committed set of files.

Then back up all the various databases etc. that the ports system and
portupgrade uses, and recreate them from scratch:

cd /usr/ports
mv INDEX INDEX.0
mv INDEV.db INDEX.db.0
make index
portsdb -u

Nb. there was a bug quite recently found in portsdb which would
corrupt the INDEX file it generated.  Should be fixed soon, if it
hasn't already, but using 'make index' rather than 'portsdb -U' is a
good work around.  This will generate some error messages, especially
if you refuse parts of the ports tree, but those can usually be
ignored.

cd /var/db/pkg
mv pkgdb.db pkgdb.db.0
pkgdb -Fu

Now you should be able to run portupgrade(1) successfully.  If you're
happy that everything is working correctly again, you can delete all
those .0 backup files.

Cheers,

Matthew

wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

2002-11-22 Thread Andrew

Hi,

I have a Linksys WMP11 802.11b card running in hostap mode. Every now and
then my wireless network dissappears. If I ssh into the box over a
different interface everything looks OK. To get things going I run
ifconfig wi0 down. The whole machines seems to lock up - it doesn't even
respond to pings on other interfaces. If I wait long enough (30 secs
approx) everything comes back. I find emitted from the kernel:

wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

multiple times.

Anyone seen this? Any ideas?

I'm running 4.7-STABLE as of a few days ago.

Thanks,

Andrew

Put this in /etc/ipnat.rules

rdr dc0 0/0 port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8280 tcp

And this in /etc/rc.conf

ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipnat_enable="YES"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipfs_enable="YES"

I am using similar configuration for squid. But remember to check the
documentation first.
