My impression was 4_7 was just those items, 4 was those plus other non-important and "things to get us to the next level." So your telling me that if I CVSUP 4_7, I technically will get the same tree as 4 up until the day the uname banner changed to 4.8-PRERELEASE? Thats not my impression of what 4_7 is.

Yes, but of course it said XFree86 was not installed, so it couldn't be upgraded. Thus I have to use # portinstall -R which is equivalent to # portupgrade -NR To get something running I installed XFree86 from my 4.7-RELEASE CD. I also tried to upgrade this and was left with a dysfunctional XFree86 System (some modules and fonts couldn't be found). So I just stay with the 4.7 installation and hope to get gnome2 working somehow.

Best Gigabit NIC for FreeBSD?
Hi all, I've recently been setting up a server with a D-Link DGE-500T gigabit ethernet card, that needs to connect to a Novell Netware 4.11 server over IPX. Using the nge driver, it came up on the network fine using TCP/IP, but had issues trying to find the Netware server. A 'tcpdump not ip' showed there were definately IPX traffic/SAP broadcasts being picked up by the card, but it refused to get up and running Changing the card over for a 100mbit one using the vr driver picked the Netware server up without a problem. Has anyone had any experience with gigabit cards running IPX under FreeBSD -- or just in general? We're currently investigating purchasing a different card to try (we were thinking probably Intel - what's supported best under FBSD?). The machine in question is running 4.7-RELEASE-p2.

Please send all future references to this subject to me directly so as not to cause problems for others. I looked up the following in the Bible: 1) As far as a demon being a product of Christian ignorance, we didn't make it up, it is in the Bible - Matthew 17:18. 2) As far as whether that number is associated with evil, we didn't make it up, it is in the Bible - Revelation 13:18. There are other verses in regard to my first point. There may be other verses for my second point. If you meant that Christians turned the word daemon into demon - I am not doing that. The word daemon is not what I was asking about.

Re: Cvsup Handbook Example
Hello zerotransfer, I've always enjoyed religious debates, but the list probably tires of them, and if we keep this up, one of the list admins will probably tell us to 'take it outside'. But as a final followup, there are sacred numbers in every religion, as far as I know, and if we in the IT sector, which is very number heavy, paid attention to what superstition somebody may hold with a certain number, our jobs would become ever more complicated. I don't mean to belittle your religion, but I can't imagine what life must be like to be offended by such a trivial thing as a certain number =) -- Justin Hopper [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX Systems Engineer http://www.spry.com On Fri, 2003-02-21 at 13:15, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Obviously I don't think it is mythology or I wouldn't believe it :-) > > Actually it is not my place to tell people what numbers they are and are not > allowed to use. > More than the number, the issue for me is the motivation of why that number > was used. > Why use one of the only three digit numbers that I know of that is > associated with evil to at least one belief? > See my point? > > zerotransfer > <>< > - Original Message - > From: "Justin Hopper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 2:42 PM > Subject: Re: Cvsup Handbook Example > > > > Sorry, this of course should have read 'after 665 and before 667'. > > > > On Fri, 2003-02-21 at 11:13, Justin Hopper wrote: > > > Hello unamed person, > > > > > > For the rest of the world that doesn't follow Christian Mythology, 666 > > > is just the number after 667 and before 665.

mdmfs /tmp and fstab on 5.0
Hi folks, I usually mount /tmp on the swap via the following fstab entry: /dev/da0s1b /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,nodev,nosymfollow 0 0 only this doesn't work anymore on freebsd 5.0 since mount_mfs doesn't exist (seems to have been replaced by mdmfs). What's the proper way to accomplish the same thing on 5.0? I'd prefer a solution with fstab, so that /tmp gets mounted as early as possible. -- Matthias Buelow To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

So first try installing a snapshot: http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/ As explained there, they are built every day from -current sources. If the normal installation CD ISO there boots fine, consider your problem fixed in -current. You could try the bootonly or cdboot cd ISO's first, but they may be a bit different than the normal boot process. If your problem is not fixed in the latest -current snapshot, then send a question with the ouptut of boot -v to the freebsd-current mailing list, perhaps along with a copy of dmesg from 4.x running on the machine in question.

It's ok. If you don't use an absolute path, procmail appends the
mailbox path of the rule to "${MAILDIR}/", which is already set to a
correct value in an earlier line ;-)

Re: from GNOME to KDE
Oh, well, what I did was get out of my X entirely to console mode, then pkg_delete 'qt*' 'kde*' and then build it from ports. This worked great, and my experience trying to do that sort of thing piecemeal has not been good. Alternatively you could set an alternate prefix for the new QT and then try to get KDE to use the alternate prefix as its load library location but my record trying that sort of thing has not been good.

Don't change ipfilter_program if you don't have a *very* good reason
for doing so:
$ grep ipfilter_program /etc/defaults/rc.conf
ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf"# where the ipfilter program lives
Before you change one of the xxx_program options in rc.conf you should
make sure that you understand what this change will affect, by looking
at the /etc/rc* scripts:
$ grep -l ipfilter_program /etc/rc*
rc.network
$ grep ipfilter_program /etc/rc.network
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} -Fa
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} \
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} -6 \
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} -y ${ipfilter_flags} >/dev/null
By setting ipfilter_program to "/sbin/ipf -Fa -f", that first line of
rc.network became:
/sbin/ipf -Fa -f -Fa
which doesn't work. Similarly, the -f option at the end of your
ipfilter_program value broke all the rest of the ipf commands in
/etc/rc.network. Delete the ipfilter_program line from your rc.conf
and the default will work fine.
Here's what I have in my rc.conf for ipfilter and ipmon:
$ grep '^ip[fm]' /etc/rc.conf
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-D -s -o I"

"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 f

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 28 January 2002, $Id: Howto-ask-questions,v 1.3 2003/01/28 00:26:41 grog Exp $ 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-hac

That's true. FreeBSD is a fast moving target and to add both features and bug fixes you have to move on, which is what 4-stable does. Personally I'd like to see the release branches have a lot more stability fixes along with the security fixes. But this could require massive amounts of work and there are only so many people and resources to go around. Maintaining the release branches with only security fixes is I'm sure already a great deal of work, and is a great step in the right direction I believe. I dunno, maybe it would be possible for only the last release branch to get stability fixes along with security fixes. That may just work. I've wanted something like that for years. It would bring FreeBSD farther along in being the most stable free OS out there and satisfy the needs of the super conservative. Personally I'd rather have a super super stable OS, I don't really care about performance beyond a reasonable point. I'd like to get to the point where there are FreeBSD releases as bug free as Tex. I think that is possible with the release branches. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Wireless network design
I know someone who was able to accomplish something interesting using Orinoco cards, a Cisco 350 AP, and a RADIUS server in the network. When a laptop attempts to connect to the network through the wireless card, the RADIUS server authenticates the network credetials and then passes a wep key using a encrypted tunnel. This requires a server for the RADIUS authentication and certificates on the machine to encrypt the original login username and password. Also, the WEP keys are assigned by the network, are only valid for the session, and are rehashed every minute or so. I wasn't able to get too many details of this setup, but I'd like to know if this makes sense to anyone, and more so, if any/all of this is hardware-specific, which would mean having to purchase the Orinoco cards. I'd want to accomplish something similar, however I want to have my FreeBSD box serve as the access point. And I want it to be in infrastructure mode, not ad-hoc, so I can't use the Orinoco cards for this. Thanks! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/early-adopter.html so of course it is not going to work for everything. Development is proceeding rapidly on 5.0, so the problem you're seeing may be fixed already. Installing -current would be the only way to know. if you tried that and got the same error, then they would love to hear about it on the -current mailing list so that it can be properly fixed. It's not likely it will ever be fixed for 5.0 release, which is a static point on an again, rapidly moving, development track. If 4.x works well then use that, or if you want to experiment try -current, perhaps by installing a snapshot. As a side note, should we put something in the FAQ about this, pointing to the early adopters guide perhaps? I'll write it up if someone will mark it up and commit it.

Java only runs locally?
New to the FreeBSD mailing list, so please excuse me if I've goofed something up :) I'm running FreeBSD 4.7, KDE 3.1 with Mozilla 1.2.1. Using JDK 1.3.1 I can run all the demo Java scripts(locally) installed. When attempting to run Java on the Internet (using Mozilla, or Konqueror) I keep getting 'Applet not started' errors. I'm not running a proxy, although I am behind a Linksys router. I've tried man paging and googling but have not been able to resolve this issue.

You don't need usbd to do this. You could use usbd to mount the device when it is attached, if you really wanted to. However, you can't use usbd to umount it, because you have to do that *before* you detach it, so that seems pretty pointless.

Re: Cvsup Handbook Example
A personal attack early in your email, you didn't waste time. Actually what 666 corresponds to in decimal or what it is in base 8 is irrelevant to me. If 666 was the most secure or insecure chmod number than I might think that had something to do with it.

Re: Cvsup Handbook Example
Actually, though, I would rather the mascot be something different, that wasn't what I was mainly concerned with. Probably in part because I have heard about the supposed difference between daemons and demons (though I haven't confirmed this). Alsoin part because I feel that the motivation behind something can sometimes be more important than what is done (not always but sometimes). I am not saying that using the number 666 is evil.

My Creative Labs USB Webcam (older Model, Webcam Plus or something it was called) runs ok with /usr/ports/graphics/vid, which supports Webcams with the OV511 and OV511+ chipsets. I don't know for sure if the newer webcams still have this chipset, but I guess they do. Oh, you'll need to code some glue to make vid be useful; all it does is grab an image and write it to stdout, no configurables.

procmail question a little off topic
sorry for the offtopic post here but I cant seem to get my procmail recipe's to fire. I know sendmail sees and uses procmail because maillog show its handing it of to procmail. Also, the mail inbox specified in the procmailrc file is receiving the message. Still, none of the messages that I want taking from inbox and put in other folders as specified in the recipe's section are being moved. I went to the procmail website and since and the lists seem to be in german... and my german is nonexistent... any pointers appreciated. .procmailrc == # Frisch, SA, p 602 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # # catch systems for syslog entries # ppsrv3, PAC SMB server :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/ppsrv3 # urbansrv1, CUI, apas, ais smb spooler :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/urbansrv1 # ppsrv5, aka cyrus, smb/web server :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslogs/ppsrv5 # db2srv1, development machines :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslog/db2srv1 # recsrv1, smb server recreation mgt :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] syslog/recsrv1 === end procmailrc = -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

USB flash drive mount - da device?
Greetz, I use a USB pocket drive and am having the hardest time figuring out how to mount it into the filesystem. Following are what I thought to be important: # dmesg |grep da0 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 650KB/s transfers da0: 126MB (258048 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 126C) da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing minimum_cmd_size to 10. # ps auxwww |grep usbd root 78 0.0 0.2 916 580 ?? Ss 12:03PM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/usbd === Generally I use the command 'mount -t msdos /dev/rda0s1 /mnt' to mount this to my filesystem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. When it does work I can only mount it as root. In order to be able to mount this as a regular user, do I have to put some flags into a line in /etc/fstab? What would be the best way to make this drive user mountable? The other question is, is there a better way to mount up the device or control it via a usb tool or is the way I am doing it correct?

Error accessing SquirrelMail on server
I'm getting an error when accessing my squirrel mail directory on the server via a browser after accessing it. It gives the following. 403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /squirrelmail/ on this server. Before I added my alias in httpd.conf it was giving me a not found. So I know I got the alias in there right. A check of the directory shows it is owned entirely by root with no access by anyone else. How do I fix this without totally breaking squirrel mail? Thanks.

Having problems with mozilla-1.2.1/galeon-1.2.8
This past weekend, I upgraded the ports collection on my machine (running 4.7, also updated at the same time). When I came back in on Monday morning, mozilla failed with a segmentation fault and galeon failed with a 'gnome has detected a crash' dialog. I spent most of this past week verifying the ports I had were in fact up to date (they were and are the most recent from the ports collection) and that I did not have mozilla-fonts (or nucleus-fonts which also for some reason includes files from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla (and thus triggered the 'BROKEN' behaviour of mozilla port until I removed it) installed. I compiled all of the ports with their 'default settings' except for the following settings which I have added to make.conf XFREE86_VERSION=4 PACKAGE_BUILDING=1 BATCH=1 WITH_FULL_MOZILLA=1 The reason for the PACKAGE_BUILDING/BATCH settings are because I prefer to run the build unattended over the weekend when I am not at work and that is the only way I've found to actually get things to build and not dialogue prompt me. The WITH_FULL_MOZILLA setting is because I wish to have both mozilla and embed mozilla into galeon (and phoenix which I also tried and which also failed). Most specifically, I have not modified any of the architecture or optimization flags which are the default. My machine is a intel Celeron (730.97 MHz 686-class) Prior to this weekend, I had mozilla built this way and all was good, including Xft fonts working. (which seemed to be the suggestion when I scanned the mailing list archives this morning trying to find out what was wrong after rebuilding once again didn't resolve the issue). In the course of trying to fix this, I have rebuilt EVERYTHING on my machine using portupgrade -af with only a couple of failures which should not affect this. This failures were ! net/net-snmp4 (ucd-snmp-4.2.5_2) (compiler error) * net/ethereal (ethereal-0.9.7) ! net/rdesktop-devel (rdesktop-1.2b1) (failed to convert nil into String) ! x11/XFree86-4-clients (XFree86-clients-4.2.1_2) (install error) The failure of Xfree86-clients turned out to be x11perf and failing because the code is looking for a 'core' member of the XftFont structure. However, nothing (according to greps of /var/db/pkg) depends on XFree86-clients, so I don't believe that to be related. The other programs similarly have nothing which depends on them aside from listed above. Any help or advice in getting this working again with Xft would be greatly appreciated and it does seem that there is a problem there with the recent code. I'm more than willing to send people additional information to help track down what's going on if they ask and let me know what information they need.

Verizon DSL does not block port 25 in the NorthEast. Port 80 appears blocked (Bah!), but they claim they don't block any ports. I was told it could be the DSL modem (Westell Wirespeed A90-210015-D4), but as far as I can tell, it isn't configurable, and doesn't block ports anyway. Odd thing is that the port 80 trace stops at the modem. I've never been able to figure this out. Next month, Comcast (formerly AT&T Broadband (formerly MediaOne Broadband)) is supposed to turn on the digital upgrades in my area, so I'm probably going to switch over. Oh, and BTW, other than port 80, Verizon DSL/PPP works great with FreeBSD.

Re: Cvsup Handbook Example
I don't really get it either, as I pointed out in an off-list e-mail to the original sender earlier, this has nothing to do with Christian mythology or satanic anything. 666 is, by all historic and scientific accounts, a Masonic symbol. Now unless you have a problem with people who have an intriguing fixation with geometry (Free Masons), then I can't see anything wrong with using the number. We're long past the point where you can't use 13 as a number, why should this be any different, really?

if you look at /etc/rc.network you'll see why:

your settings make it:

Routing problem
Hello everyone, I have a little problem with my home network. I had a Linux router before and now I have FreeBSD set up and running on the same box. The problem is, that I don't know what manual could speak about that kind of routing: there are three additional IP addresses routed to my gateway. I want an internal box to use the given external IP address or an internal address, while gateway configuration stays untouched. The external interface of the gateway is a wireless orinoco card and I do not have an ethernet-wireless converter, so the external interface should be published to inside network in a way, that any chosen machine from inside could use an external IP adress as it's IP and the external IP address of the router as it's gateway. Please help me to solve this problem. I know, that the solution is trivial, but I admit, I still think in Linux... ;) -- regards, S.
