Re: curious if anyone noticed the perl-5.8.0_04 seems a bit whacky ?

Anyone noticed that the perl-5.8.0_04 port installs stuff in /usr/local/scripts, e.g. h2ph and others, but a pkginfo -L shows these same files are being installed in /usr/local/bin. A problem with this is during the installation process it fails right towards the end because h2ph ends up in /usr/local/scripts/h2ph but the installation process is hard coded expecting it in /usr/local/bin/h2ph. I manually copied h2ph to /usr/local/bin and redid a make install and the port installed. But now the pkgdb is basically wrong for lots of the files. Anyone else seen this ?

Re: BSD Loader
Hello, Unfortunately I can't help you restore your BSD loader, but yes, Windows thinks it is going to be the only OS on a computer and doesn't support multiple OSes on the same machine, so it will always overwrite the MBR with its own crud. This is why you must always install Windows first. Then make partitions for your other OSes, and then let the BSD loader (or GRUB, LILO or whatever) boot BSD as well as Windows. I suggest you may be able to run the BSD installer in fix mode - to fix a broken installation. If not, then this feature is needed. Get some more advice before you experiment here, though. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help. -- James - Original Message - From: Alexey Babich [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 7:04 PM Subject: BSD Loader Congratulations, [EMAIL PROTECTED], you have new mail!

how to setup internal PCI modem under 5.0-RELEASE?
Am completely unable to figure out kernel settings for modem. Got US Robotics 56K internal modem, that is working perfectly on same machine with 4.6-RELEASE. I had to put only device sio at pci? in my kernel config file for 4.6 to have modem to answer at cuaa0. Now, I have device sio in my kernel config file fo 5.0 and have tried number of combinations with /boot/device.hints settings without any success. If I delete all sio lines from /boot/device.hints, modem is reported during boot as sio0, but hangs whole system when I try to dial out. If I delete only lines sio.n (n=0,1,2,3) from /boot/device.hints (e.g. sio.0) modem is again reported (and eventually rellocated) and again hangs whole system. Any help here?

ATI Radeon 9000 question
Hello everyone, I'm stuck with a Presario 2800-T model. The good thing is that all the hardware worked except. I wasn't able to make the video card ATI Radeon 9000 64MB work. I was able to run the same video card but it was 7500 using VESA in my kernel. and specifying that too in the X conf file. Before I provide any logs I searched 250 emails ATI RADEON 9000 and similar combinations of search but no one saying specifically if this modem of RADEON works on FreeBSD. Before I get into trouble with the decision am going to make, anyone can tell me if it is actually supported in XFree 4.2.x If so I would just dig into it. Otherwise I would get into trouble with a notebook that can't run X. Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm not subscribed to the list please CC me.

Is using rsync running every minute a good option? Are there better ones? Also, how do I set the second server to use the passwords/permissons from the main server. I use rsync for the same purpose (and to make local backups of the data on the web servers). How busy do you expect the boxes to be? I'm not sure running it every minute is desirable, but if they are not particularly heavily loaded, it should be fine. Be prepared to tweak, though, until you find the right balance between performance and synchronous data. As for passwords and permissions, I guess you are talking about passwords etc for access to .htaccess-protected areas? If so, make sure your passwd database (the apache-specific one, not the /etc/passwd!) is included in the rsync runs. rsync will allow you to preserve file ownership and permissions during the transfer, so this shouldn't be a worry - just read the man page and select the appropriate options.

Re: Good way of upgrading from FreeBSD 4.5?
I swear I remember reading something on the FreeBSD site saying that you shouldn't just upgrade from 4.x to 5.0, because it's still kind of in the beta stage and some apps might not work properly. Especially on a production server. The suggested way to upgrade to 5.0, was to backup everything on the current machine and install 5.0 from scatch then load from backups. I could be wrong, so find out for sure or just try it, but make sure you backup. - Original Message - From: Asenchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Johannes Angeldorff [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 11:23 PM Subject: RE: Good way of upgrading from FreeBSD 4.5?

Dear FreeBSD:ers, I am happy to use FreeBSD for web, mail and applications serving. But when I come to the question about how to upgrade to a newer FreeBSD version, I really could need your expertise! We have two FreeBSD 4.5 boxes. Both boxes have been installed with FreeBSD 4.5 from CD, and then tweaked with reconfigured kernels and a few applications installed, mainly qmail (replacing sendmail), mod-php, mysql, pico and a few more. Both boxes have around 25 users each. Both boxes have tweaked settings in /etc/rc.conf and some other /etc/-files. My question is, if anyone can give a hint on how to upgrade safely from FreeBSD 4.5 to FreeBSD 5.0...? If we download FreeBSD 5.0 and install it on our FreeBSD 4.5 boxes, what will we have to do? Is there risk that all settings, contents and installed applications will be erased?

UNINST=1 will fix the problem only until the next time you do a {build,install}world, when the bundled File::Spec module will reappear. Plus it's not obvious how to get the port system to apply it when installing a perl module. The problem is that the location of the updated port is lower down perl's library search path than the standard libraries. You can see the search path by: % perl -e 'print join(\n, @INC), \n;' You can prepend directories to the search path by setting PERL5LIB or PERLLIB in the environment. eg. try: env PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 spamassassin ... and see if that lets you find the up to date File::Spec module before the old one. You can achieve much the same effect from within perl by inserting: BEGIN { unshift @INC, /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005; } at the top of the script, before any of the 'use ...' lines. About the only other alternative is to install one of perl ports, which have a sufficiently up to date File::Spec module anyhow.

Re: manufacturing
Kenzo wrote: My boss just presented me with an Idea. He wants for me to build couple computers to use on the manufacturing floor using linux or Freebsd. I set up almost the exact same system for a client of mine. They _do_ use Windows, however, and I'll explain why (although I can't say that I think it's the best possible solution). 1) The database that tracks all their engineering data was written in Foxpro (although that's going to change) and Fox only runs on Windows. 2) Their engineering drawings are in AutoCAD. AutoDesk provides the Volo view software that give pan/zoom capabilities in a read-only package. Again, only runs in Windows. And Volo view is free (dollar-wise). 3) The hardware itself was trickled down when the admins got their new computers that were trickled down from engineering. IOW, the computers are about 5 years old, and already had Windows on them from when they were new. The computers will only need a web browser and some type of remote control. How are you going to view CAD files in a web browser? (I'm curious, I may be able to use the info) For remote control, ssh can be scripted to do commands. If you're sure about the security of your network, you could even use rsh. The reason is this. We're a manufacturing plant, with of course a manufacturing line. On the lines, they have drawings and schematics, that the workers need to look at. well right now, what they do is print those out and post them at every workstations. what they would like is a computer at every workstation that can use a browser to look at a webpage where the drawings and schematics will be located. I can give you 2 pieces of information on this plan ... 1) It's well worth the time and effort, makes everything easier and more likely to be up to date and correct. 2) It probably won't go as smoothly as you like. We found that the engineer's drawings weren't nearly as organized as they claimed, and the results were mistakes and shop workers sitting around the engineering department while the engineers figured out where the drawings were. The result was also that engineering has gotten a lot more organized ;) They don't feel like spending 500 bucks for a new windows machine, so we figure we could just use our old computers for that. Makes sense. Most shop environments are hell on computers, and they'll have quite a short lifespan. They will also need some type of remote control, they were thinking that one operator would be in charge of connecting to all the computers and opening the webpage. I was thinking of using someting like VNC. Oops ... that may be a tall order for ssh or rsh. You could also set up a single machine and make the rest X-terminals. Now, what would be the best way to accomplish this? He is more geared toward a linux box with redhat, but I would rather setup a computer with Freebsd that would do all the trick. what x-window manager should I use? Were it me, I'd use something plain-jane like Enlightenment or twm or some other minimal WM, to keep them from playing around. what should I use for web browser? Mozilla, Opera, or Galeon. Will using VNC work? Probably, but test the performance first. I was thinking of only connecting a monitor to those workstations and have no keyboards and mouse. How do the users control things then? You're going to have the shop manager control everything completely? Interesting twist. We found it to be very efficient to let the operator control their own computer. But then again, the software I wrote allows them to click on the job they're working on and the drawing they need just pops up ... so the back-end logic is important to the success of that scheme. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: VPN tunnels

The problem am facing is that whenever the links come back up, racoon does not auto negotiate to reactivate the tunnels what could I be doing wron ? I always have to restart racoon manually. Whats the way forward for me ? Or is it the normal behaviour of FBSD ? I don't know if the behaviour is normal or not. But there's a port somewhere that I used a few years ago to solve a similar problem. I looked, but I can't remember the name, and now I can't find it (I'm hoping someone will read this message and know what I'm talking about, thus providing the answer). Anyway, this port was a simple program that ran as a daemon and monitored network status, when it saw an interface go down, or a host disappear (all configurable) it would run a script of your choosing. It would then run a different script when the host became available again. We used it for a similar situation (wireless LAN would drop frequently) and it worked wonderfully. Hope you can find it, or someone knows the port I'm talking about. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
XFree86 and Samsung 191T
Hi, recently I'd done me a favour and bought a Samsung SyncMaster 191T TFT-Display. It has two input terminals: a 15 pin D-Sub (Analog RGB) and a Digital DVI-D (Digital RGB). I have two computers attached to it and the one on the analog terminal works just fine. The problem is XFree86 with the digital input. The manufactorer's specs have the following settings: frequency: horizontal (digital): 30-63.3 kHz vertikal: 56-85 Hz If I configure this in XF86Config I get a flickered screen and no usable picture. I run 4.7 stable, my graphic card is a leadtek winfast titanium 200 (geforce 3).

He wants for me to build couple computers to use on the manufacturing floor using linux or Freebsd. I set up almost the exact same system for a client of mine. They _do_ use Windows, however, and I'll explain why (although I can't say that I think it's the best possible solution). 1) The database that tracks all their engineering data was written in Foxpro (although that's going to change) and Fox only runs on Windows. 2) Their engineering drawings are in AutoCAD. AutoDesk provides the Volo view software that give pan/zoom capabilities in a read-only package. Again, only runs in Windows. And Volo view is free (dollar-wise). 3) The hardware itself was trickled down when the admins got their new computers that were trickled down from engineering. IOW, the computers are about 5 years old, and already had Windows on them from when they were new. The computers will only need a web browser and some type of remote control. How are you going to view CAD files in a web browser? (I'm curious, I may be able to use the info) For remote control, ssh can be scripted to do commands. If you're sure about the security of your network, you could even use rsh. I don't think that they will view CAD drawings. Our webmaster will create an application that will make it easy for the people posting the pictures to load them into the server. The reason is this. We're a manufacturing plant, with of course a manufacturing line. On the lines, they have drawings and schematics, that the workers need to look at. well right now, what they do is print those out and post them at every workstations. what they would like is a computer at every workstation that can use a browser to look at a webpage where the drawings and schematics will be located. I can give you 2 pieces of information on this plan ... 1) It's well worth the time and effort, makes everything easier and more likely to be up to date and correct. 2) It probably won't go as smoothly as you like. We found that the engineer's drawings weren't nearly as organized as they claimed, and the results were mistakes and shop workers sitting around the engineering department while the engineers figured out where the drawings were. The result was also that engineering has gotten a lot more organized ;) They don't feel like spending 500 bucks for a new windows machine, so we figure we could just use our old computers for that. Makes sense. Most shop environments are hell on computers, and they'll have quite a short lifespan. They will also need some type of remote control, they were thinking that one operator would be in charge of connecting to all the computers and opening the webpage. I was thinking of using someting like VNC. Oops ... that may be a tall order for ssh or rsh. You could also set up a single machine and make the rest X-terminals. Now, what would be the best way to accomplish this? He is more geared toward a linux box with redhat, but I would rather setup a computer with Freebsd that would do all the trick. what x-window manager should I use? Were it me, I'd use something plain-jane like Enlightenment or twm or some other minimal WM, to keep them from playing around. what should I use for web browser? Mozilla, Opera, or Galeon. Will using VNC work? Probably, but test the performance first. I was thinking of only connecting a monitor to those workstations and have no keyboards and mouse. How do the users control things then? You're going to have the shop manager control everything completely? Interesting twist. We found it to be very efficient to let the operator control their own computer. But then again, the software I wrote allows them to click on the job they're working on and the drawing they need just pops up ... so the back-end logic is important to the success of that scheme. Yes our plan is to only have one person per assembly line controlling the computers so that they will all see the same thing. I would like to think that if we give them all control over the computers, they would only use it for work, but I find that people like to play around and see what they can get away with. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Setting ppp in an FreeBSD 4.7 router
Hi List I have a FreeBSD 4.7(i386) Release box and I am trying to make it run as a router. My outer interface is ppp and seems that is not working correctly. The interface definitions inside the rc.conf file are the following: ... network_interfaces=ppp0 rl0 lo0 ifconfig_rl0=inet 111.111.111.111 mtu 1500 netmask 255.255.255.240 ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet 192.168.3.1 mtu 1500 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_ppp0=inet 222.222.222.222 333.333.333.333 mtu 1500 netmask 255.255.255.252 hostname=XXX.YYY.ZZZ defaultrouter=333.333.333.333 ... And I start pppd from the rc.local file like this: /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cuaa0 115200 222.222.222.222:333.333.333.333 noauth persist netmask 255.255.255.252 When I boot the router and try to connect through the outer interface (ping) I get no route to host, but when I try route add default 333.333.333.333 the ppp seems to run ok. On the other hand, adding route add default 333.333.333.333 to my rc.local file does not solve the problem. The same rc.conf and rc.local files have been used in my old FreeBSD 4.2(i386) router with no problem at all. What am I doing wrong? Is rc.local the correct place to start the pppd? Any suggestions?

I would use portupgrade and cvsup/ That seems to be the easiest way. :)) HTH, PJ Thanks. Unfortunately, that's excalty what I did. In breif cvsup ports and main, make world, portsupgrade. I'm looking around, and it appears that there are now 4 cups related ports. cups, cibs-base, cups-lpr, and cups-prtoraster. The description files in these ports leave me confused. Can you tell me jhow they fit together? I'm no great expert at this. I had to muddle through all the instructions and research google , etc., myself. Anyway, you probably don't have too much of a problem if you reread all the manuals and installation instructions: the ghostscript-gnu-7.05_3 is necessary for cups to work correctly on *nix systems. The gimp-print program provides most of the drivers. In my case that is the Epson Stylus color 900. There are other drivers available usually from the manufacturers of the printer. My installation includes the following: cups-1.1.18.0_4 - this is the metaport - installs the whole kit kaboodle for cups (not gimp or ghost) cups-base-1.1.18.0_4 cups-lpr-1.1.18.0_4 - this is for BSD compatibility binaries - the lp* commands cups-pstoraster-7.05.5_2 Since *nix printing is mainly for PostScript, this is the interpreter to print to non-PostScript printers ghostscript-gnu-7.05_3 - This is the PostScript GNU interpreter, necessary for Cups to function - This is a special version for *nix printing - check the EPS website (I think that's their initials gimp-print-4.2.4 - These are the printer drivers As for the rest, you have to set up the configuration which is really not hard if you follow all the instructions.

Re: Good way of upgrading from FreeBSD 4.5?
On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, Johannes Angeldorff wrote: Dear FreeBSD:ers, I am happy to use FreeBSD for web, mail and applications serving. But when I come to the question about how to upgrade to a newer FreeBSD version, I really could need your expertise! I think this is what you would call a production machine. You shouldn't experiment with the so called Technology Release 5.0 then, but upgrade to 4.7 . The simpliest way to do this, is to download the iso-image, boot it and follow the upgrade instructions in the menu. Regards, Uli. We have two FreeBSD 4.5 boxes. Both boxes have been installed with FreeBSD 4.5 from CD, and then tweaked with reconfigured kernels and a few applications installed, mainly qmail (replacing sendmail), mod-php, mysql, pico and a few more. Both boxes have around 25 users each. Both boxes have tweaked settings in /etc/rc.conf and some other /etc/-files. My question is, if anyone can give a hint on how to upgrade safely from FreeBSD 4.5 to FreeBSD 5.0...? If we download FreeBSD 5.0 and install it on our FreeBSD 4.5 boxes, what will we have to do? Is there risk that all settings, contents and installed applications will be erased? Very thankful for all help on this matter...! -- Regards, Smartnet Sverige AB Johannes Angeldorff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message *---* *Peter Ulrich Kruppa* * - Wuppertal - * * Germany * *---* To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I doubt that will work, but if it does, I'd love to hear about it. The reason I don't think it will work is that engineering drawings on a computer screen usually require a lot of zooming in/out to be useful, and I don't know of any browsers that will give you that control. Although, you may be able to install some sort of image viewer that would do it. Yes our plan is to only have one person per assembly line controlling the computers so that they will all see the same thing. I would like to think that if we give them all control over the computers, they would only use it for work, but I find that people like to play around and see what they can get away with. True, but that's a _different_ problem. If they're slacking, they'll slack with other things than just the computer (although, experience shows that productivity will drop off for the first week or so until the novelty wears off). Besides, if you do a plain-jane install, once they've figured out that there isn't anything there to play with, they'll quit messing around. (i.e. don't install any games or anything) My experience also shows that the power they have to find the information they need without wandering around bugging bosses and foremen and engineers will save more time than they lose to solitair. We actually left all the games on the shop computers at the place I set up. It hasn't been enough of a problem to worry about. Actually, it probably saves time, because they spend their breaks at their workstations playing solitair, instead of going to the break room ;) Wandering over to ask a foreman or an engineer is a _huge_ time waster in my experience. In fact, one of the design goals of the system I created was to reduce the time that shop workers spend bothering engineers. At least when they're looking for it themselves, they're only wasting _their_ time, not the engineer's time. If you have a dedicated shop foreman, however, your situation may be different. This is starting to get off-topic.

He is more geared toward a linux box with redhat, but I would rather setup a computer with Freebsd that would do all the trick. what x-window manager should I use? I know KDE uses alot of resources, but what about gnome? I'd recommend plpwm (part of the plwm port). Have it configured with no keyboard shortcuts, or possibly one to relauch the browser. Launch the browser with .xinitrc. plpwm will automatically make it full-screen. They can then mouse around on it to their hearts content, but won't be able to do much else. Ratpoison can probably be used to do the same thing. It should be lighter than plpwm, but it won't be as easy to configure. what should I use for web browser? Well, I was going to suggest something with a remote feature like Mozilla, but that seems sort of piontless now. You might as well use whatever your webmaster recommends, which will probably mean either mozilla or netscape. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: curious if anyone noticed the perl-5.8.0_04 seems a bit whacky ?

Anyone noticed that the perl-5.8.0_04 port installs stuff in /usr/local/scripts, e.g. h2ph and others, but a pkginfo -L shows these same files are being installed in /usr/local/bin. A problem with this is during the installation process it fails right towards the end because h2ph ends up in /usr/local/scripts/h2ph but the installation process is hard coded expecting it in /usr/local/bin/h2ph. I manually copied h2ph to /usr/local/bin and redid a make install and the port installed. But now the pkgdb is basically wrong for lots of the files. Anyone else seen this ? Ahhh I found it I think. In the perl-5.8.0 Configure script - guess what it does? It actually looks for /usr/local/scripts as a possible location to install stuff. There is a case statement where it is looking for location to put publicly executable scripts. I put /usr/local/scripts as a location for my stuff a while back. I guess I'll change the name to something else. But this does mean that the FreeBSD for perl-5.8.0 port doesn't handle this well - I think. Assuming Perl does install stuff in a location other the /usr/local/bin, the FreeBSD port of perl doesn't record it correctly in the pkgdb. It always assumes /usr/local/bin. -- . ..- -. .. -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... .-- .. -. -... .-.. --- .-- ... -.. .-. --- --- .-.. ...

vnode-based encryption driver
Hello, I'm running 4.4-RELEASE and I'm changing the vn(4) driver to do transparent data encryption (for now it's a lame XOR algorithm, but that's not forever; I once made it to run with CAST128 from the crypto libs, and fell back just to sort out problem No 2 below). My questions are: 1) Am I reinventing the wheel? Don't tell me about cfs, though. I know that something concerning cryptography is going to get into 4.8-R kernel from OpenBSD, but what will it look like? 2) After I disklabel it according to the vnconfig man page and newfs it (I can even successfully fsck it), it won't mount stating it has an incorrect superblock. fsck -b ... doesn't help (though states it's all ok). It's the same with XOR and CAST. When I use the original version of vn, and do _everything_ the same way, it works (mounts). Ordinary reads from and writes to the encrypted vn0 go ok, e.g. # cat /dev/urandom|tee foo/dev/vn0 makes a file foo identical to /dev/vn0 (though the file which is backing vn0 is encrypted). If you need the diff, just tell me. But the changes are so straightforward (directing read and write routines in vn_cdevsw to two routines doing the crypto and calling physread/write appropriately) that I can't think of a way it could fail... Am I not processing _all_ the reads/writes? 3) Does anyone (except for me) need it? (I'm going to change vnconfig too, otherwise we'll store the key in the 'door';) 4) Is hackers@ a better place for discussion? Any suggestions welcome.

This file should work using the standard gettytab(5) file under FreeBSD with both getty(8) and telnetd(8), although I haven't tried using it with telnet recently myself. You want to look for use of the 'if' or the 'im' properties in gettytab(5). The equivalent for sshd(8) is to set the Banner property in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, although this only works if you use the SSH2 protocol. Cheers, Matthew I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to the original posters question. I somehow missed the pre. In any case, all this has prompted me to play around with pre-login messages. Using gettytab I can alter the pre-login message for telnet sessions by changing the 'im' capability in gettytab, but for the life of me I can't seem to get telnetd to recognize the 'if' capability. The console responds to both, but telnetd seems to ignore 'if'. The perms on /etc/issue are 644. I don't run inetd, but just for experiment I uncommented telnetd and launched and inetd for testing. Can anyone explain why telnetd might ignore the 'if' capability specified in the 'default' heading of gettytab? The telnetd man page clearly states that if 'if' is present it will override 'im'.

Re: How to change Telnet Prelogin message?
On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 11:23:21AM -0800, Nathan Kinkade wrote: I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to the original posters question. I somehow missed the pre. In any case, all this has prompted me to play around with pre-login messages. Using gettytab I can alter the pre-login message for telnet sessions by changing the 'im' capability in gettytab, but for the life of me I can't seem to get telnetd to recognize the 'if' capability. The console responds to both, but telnetd seems to ignore 'if'. The perms on /etc/issue are 644. I don't run inetd, but just for experiment I uncommented telnetd and launched and inetd for testing. Can anyone explain why telnetd might ignore the 'if' capability specified in the 'default' heading of gettytab? The telnetd man page clearly states that if 'if' is present it will override 'im'. Interesting. The source code seems pretty clear in that it only looks at the 'im' property: .../src/libexec/telnetd/telnetd.c at about line 770 /* * Show banner that getty never gave. * * We put the banner in the pty input buffer. This way, it * gets carriage return null processing, etc., just like all * other pty -- client data. */ if (getent(defent, default) == 1) { char *cp=defstrs; HE = Getstr(he, cp); HN = Getstr(hn, cp); IM = Getstr(im, cp); if (HN *HN) (void) strlcpy(host_name, HN, sizeof(host_name)); if (IM == 0) IM = strdup(); } else { IM = strdup(DEFAULT_IM); HE = 0; } Looks like it's time to send-pr.

XFree86 from CVS?
The good news: I've purchased an ATI Radeon 9500 and used an available driver patch to give it the performance of the 9700 model, which costs about twice as much. :) The bad news: XFree86 4.2.0_1,1 (most recent version available with FreeBSD, I believe) doesn't work with the newest Radeons. The XFree86 CVS changelog shows 2D support (all I need ATM - willing to wait for 3D) having been added just a few days ago. My question: Is it reasonable to try to install XFree86 from CVS on FreeBSD 4-STABLE, particularly for someone who lacks good wide-ranging Unix knowledge? (I can follow simple directions - with my prior card I was using the nVidia drivers without difficulty.) Has anyone out there done this recently? Tips, gotchas?

Re: Help: Monitor/Keyboard Switch with freebsd
hi all there, just want to mention, that my problem is solved. Maybe anyone is interested. Freebsd wants to detect the keyboard automatically, not a good thing with an kvm switch. Just search the line : device atkbd0 at atkbdc? flags 0x100 this is your keyboard. The falg does the detection, simply delete flags 0x100 ... compile your kernel...everything will work fine. daniel Daniel Graupner schrieb: Hey there, i'm using a kvm-switch which simply multiplexes keyboard and monitor between 2 workstations.

RE: arplookup messages? now what have I done?
Hi Michael, My network topology skills are limited... does this mean the following: - my default gateway is on a 255.255.255.240 subnet - so is my devices real address - there is another device listed there (de0), no problems (internal) So, if I change the aliased devices to 0xff0 (255.255.255.240), they will be a-ok and not produce those message? I believe I had it set like that and the devices wouldn't initiate? Many thanks in advance, phillip. -Original Message- From: Michael K.

I'll bet they're correct. Nor is there any settings to stop the machine from using the dhcp server. What do you mean by this? That the ISP won't change or that FreeBSD won't? The latter is definately untrue, FreeBSD can be configured to use or not use DHCP as you desire. Thank you for all the assistance so far. Hope we get this figured out for you.

RE: arplookup messages? now what have I done?
mailing list\ said: Hi Michael, My network topology skills are limited... does this mean the following: - my default gateway is on a 255.255.255.240 subnet - so is my devices real address - there is another device listed there (de0), no problems (internal) So, if I change the aliased devices to 0xff0 (255.255.255.240), they will be a-ok and not produce those message? I believe I had it set like that and the devices wouldn't initiate? Many thanks in advance, Hey Phillip: You have three things that need to line up in order for this to work: 1) The IP Address 2) The subnet mask 3) The alias and its associated interface In your example: ifconfig_de0=inet XXX.168.0.219 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_tl0=inet XXX.82.15.219 netmask 255.255.255.240 snip ifconfig_tl0_alias3=inet XXX.167.176.107 netmask 0x ifconfig_tl0_alias4=inet XXX.167.176.108 netmask 0x ifconfig_tl0_alias5=inet XXX.167.176.109 netmask 0x ifconfig_tl0_alias6=inet XXX.167.176.110 netmask 0x The subnet mask for xxx.82.15.219 would mean you could use addresses that are masked when the subnet mask is applied. I would recommend reading up on masking in your copious free time. Suffice it to say that, in this case, the following is true: xxx.82.15.208 - xxx.82.15.223 is the address range, with .208 and .223 reserved. If you want to have your aliases attached to the tl0 interface, you need to use addresses in that range. So, something like: ifconfig_tl0_alias3=inet XXX.82.15.210 netmask 0x Also, I would recommend using the .209 or .222 address (first and last useable in the subnet) as your tl0 (default gateway) interface. It's standard operating procedure and will help you in the troubleshooting process to have things fairly standardized. If you set your interface to .209, then you could set interface aliases from .210 to .222 inclusive. Mike -- Michael K.

RE: arplookup messages? now what have I done?
Hmmm, I'm confused If you want to have your aliases attached to the tl0 interface, you need to use addresses in that range. So, something like: ifconfig_tl0_alias3=inet XXX.82.15.210 netmask 0x That's what I have, and I'm getting those funny arplookup error messages. The subnet mask for xxx.82.15.219 would mean you could use addresses that are masked when the subnet mask is applied. I would recommend reading up on masking in your copious free time. I'll definitely have a look around (think I have the CCNA books at home). I have two DSL lines, one provides the 82.15.209+ and the other the 167.176.x, but both have the same 255.255.255.240 subnet. I'm thinking that this may have something to do with the messages? phillip. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Does spamd use Razor?
Hello, I recently installed SpamAssassin 2.44, with Razor 2.22.

Re: browsing windows drives with samba

Re: XFree86 from CVS?

(I can follow simple directions - with my prior card I was using the nVidia drivers without difficulty.) Has anyone out there done this recently? Tips, gotchas? I followed the directions from the XFree86 web site those listed in the INSTALL and README files (or whatever they were called). It took some time space to compile, but there were no problems in the compile process or installing the files at a preferred location.

TeXmacs port
Who is maintaining the GNU TeXmacs port to FreeBSD? The port is somewhat out-of-date: 1.0.1 is the current stable release, the FreeBSD port is 1.0.0. I tried building TeXmacs from the source, but it has some problems. I'm going to work on it over the weekend and see if I can get it working. I'll be submitting any changes to Joris (the main TeXmacs developer) so future versions should be tip-top on FreeBSD right out of the tarball. I use TeXmacs quite a lot and have some 1.0.1 documents that I need to continue working on. I am active in the TeXmacs user community (I wrote the Octave - TeXmacs link and other sundries) and I always stay current on the stable releases, and usually try quite a few development snapshots too. So I am in an ideal position to maintain this port for FreeBSD since I need the latest releases anyhow for further Octave/TeXmacs development. That I'm in a position to help the FreeBSD project as well is a happy state of affairs, and I'd love to pounce on the opportunity. So, is there someone specific I should email about all this?

Question about stat(2) return values
Per the man page for stat(2): The sb argument is a pointer to a stat() structure as defined by sys/stat.h (shown below) and into which information is placed concerning the file. struct stat { dev_t st_dev; /* inode's device */ ino_t st_ino; /* inode's number */ mode_tst_mode;/* inode protection mode */ nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */ uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of the file's owner */ gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of the file's group */ dev_t st_rdev;/* device type */ ... } And /usr/include/sys/stat.h repeats that verbatim. What I'm trying to understand is what the values in st_rdev represent. Is the value returned in that field documented anywhere? I grep'd around in /usr/include but didn't find much to go on.

Re: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE and pcm

Suprise! It now works. So why doesn't it work with the KLMs? well as I understand it the default kernel doesn't have support for sound, so loading the module without kernel support does not work. I'm not exactly sure but I believe that is it. Someone with more kernel knowledge may know better than I.

I'd like to try and get the HP on the network. I got a Linksys PCI card (WMP11) and installed it. I checked the kernel config and it included wi, awi, an, etc. This lead me to believe that wireless networking was configured into the kernel. However, the system doesn't seem to recognize the PCI card. I'm unsure, however, whether the specific PCI card I'm using is supported, or I'm just doing something stupid (which is quite possible). I used ifconfig and sysinstall to attempt to configure the networking card. But like I said, it doesn't show up. If I could get the card to work, my plan would be to use DHCP to join the network. My first guess would be that pccardd isn't running. In any case, you'll probably want to read through: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/11/02/Big_Scary_Daemons.html -- Dan Pelleg Dan- Thanks.

I just pointed to issue out, suggesting that someone may like to remove the incorrect text from the telnetd(8) manpage, or possibly update the telnetd sources to match the manpage. By all means, please do submit a patch! I do a good bit of work with PHP, but I've never programmed with C, so I didn't even think about trying to patch. Thanks for all of your help on this issue. This was the first PR that I have ever submitted, maybe I shouldn't have submitted the PR at all if I didn't have the capability to fix the problem. Is there any way that you can send in a patch relating to the PR that I already submitted.
