The man page is rather sparse on how to answer the questions that pop up. There are a couple of things that I do. I have a few aliases that help me maintain my ports. They link to tools such as portversion -c and do a make search. I symplified make search to # cat search #! /bin/sh cd /usr/ports make search name=$1 I only run pkgdb -F when portupgrade tells me to. To use the portupgrade tools, you have to have current versions of INDEX and INDEX.db. This means that you either run make index; portsdb -u or portsdb -uU everytime you cvsup ports-all. If you refuse ports or don't use ports-all, make index will most likely fail. I use the make index sequence. The current version of INDEX is 10-days old and INDEX-5 is 11-days old. This is really pretty current for both versions of INDEX but it is way out of date for maintaining your ports. If they upgraded the INDEXs everytime a change was made to the port system bento would be spending most of its time running make index. Since I regenerate INDEX* everytime I cvsup ports-all, I added ports/INDEX to my refuse file. This can save several minutes of redownloading something that I am going to recreate. For instance, when I run: $ pkgdb -F I get the following output to start with: --- Checking the package registry database Stale origin: 'multimedia/libmpeg2': perhaps moved or obsoleted. Skip this for now? [yes] no no Browse CVSweb for the port's history? [no] Guessing... no idea. Not in due form category/portname: Fixed.

([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] What does Stale origin mean and how do I get rid of it? What does Stale dependency mean and how do I get rid of it? I take it to mean in this case that p5-CGI-Application-2.3 depends on p5-Test-Harness-2.26, and the latter is missing? old? unknown? And I think it is trying to tell me that a possible replacement is p5-Test-Simple-0.47. How do I tell if it is correct? If you run portversion -c, you will probably find that there is now a version ..-0.47_1 and you need to upgrade it to the _1 version. If portversions dies, then you can do a make search on p5-CGI-Application-2.3 and see the chain that it needs to point to and then run pkgdb -F and fix the dependancy chain. If you let your ports get too far out of touch, you may have to delete a port and its dependancies and reinstall it. The current version of portupgrade does a good job most of the time but there are times when it simply givers up and you have to fix things on your own. At this point, you need to understand the port system, which is described in chapter 4 in the Handbook.

Sir , I am setting up an secondary DNS , all i want to known is what shall ne the config in the named.conf for the secondary DNS to get the zone files from the primary . wat I experienced is : when i configured the secondary DNS started the named daemon on the secondary ,and in the primary i gave the in named.conf of primary options { directory /etc/namedb; allow-transfer { 216.xxx.xxx.xxx;}; so that the transfer happens between the primary and secondary. question 1) do we have to maually transfer the zone files for the first time Nope. As long as the permisions are right, named will do it on its own. Here is some text from the named.conf on one of my backup NSs: zone tasam.com { type slave; file zones/tasam.com.zone; masters { 216.22.46.160; }; }; Just have to make sure whatever user named (usually bind) is runing is has write access to 'zones'. ('zones' being a subdir of the directory defined near the top of the named.conf) question 2) If the zones files are not in sync with the Primary and Secondary DNS ,wat must be the possible cause ??? If your secondary has old and out of date zone files, it means that one of the following is probably true: - named has not been running on the secondary - someone forgot to update the serial number on the primary (named only knows to download a zone again when the serial number changes) - the secondary is not allowed to zone transfer from the primary - the secondary has the wrong address for the primary - the user named is running at one the secondary does not have access to write the zones If the secondary has newer zone file than the primary it means someone has been modifying the zone files on the secondary (which they of course should not do) will be happy if get an answer for this .

Re: advice about copy from disk to disk
I usually get better transfer rates with bs=16k or so. What transfer rate do you get? If they are modern drives (which 80gb implies) you should get about 20-30MB/s. At that rate it should take a little over an hour to transfer. To see the transfer start the dd, let it run for maybe 10-15 sec and give it a Ctrl+c. It should print out its transfer rate thus far. Probably far more important than block size, is putting those drives on separate ide channels. Your notation indicates that they are on the same cable, which will slow it down significantly. If all of your ide positions are in use, it might be worth while to get an add on ide card if you are doing this alot. Also, what ide mode are the drives in? You can see this with atacontrol mode N, where N is the number of the ide channel you are intersted in. If it says PIO4 or something starting with PIO it will probably be quite slow. - Original Message - From: adrian kok [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 May, 2003 10:10 Subject: advice about copy from disk to disk Hi all Can you give me advice: quicky copy from disk to disk I use command dd and it almost takes the whole day to copy 80G data! dd if=seondary master of=secondary slave bs=1024 (Secondary master to secondary slave)? and is there any tools also Thank you very much ___ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: advice about copy from disk to disk
In the last episode (May 28), Joseph Gleason said: I usually get better transfer rates with bs=16k or so. What transfer rate do you get? If they are modern drives (which 80gb implies) you should get about 20-30MB/s. At that rate it should take a little over an hour to transfer. To see the transfer start the dd, let it run for maybe 10-15 sec and give it a Ctrl+c. It should print out its transfer rate thus far. Ctrl-T will send SIGINFO, which will make dd print its throughput without aborting. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Apache+mod_ssl
I seem to recall that installing (a)apache13+mod_ssl alongside (b)apache13 caused some messed up situation where the (a) filenames are different (eg. the httpd binary is named apache and the httpd.conf file is named apache.conf) apparently to avoid overwriting (b) files.

Re: Apache+mod_ssl
Thanks Mark, Along with a private response from Raphaël Marmier, who told me that I should run: apachectl startssl (instead of the apachectl start I normally run), I discovered that there was an httpsdctl program in the same directory as apachectl. After generating my key(s) and certificates (I signed them myself), I ran httpsdctl start and httpsd started... A quick ps ax | grep 'http' showed both httpd and httpsd running... I quickly checked to make sure my current web pages still worked, and they did. Then I went to /usr/local/etc/apache and modified the httpsd.conf file accordingly... Restarted httpsd and put in a quick and dirty index.html file (all it says is this is a secure page), into the directory (that I defined in httpsd.conf). Then went to my browser, and typed in: https://www.myserver.com Instead of getting the index.html page I got, I got a page not found. So I went to look at the log files... Nothing... The log files for https are empty, (nothing in error.log or access.log). So I went to the original log files and checked them... Nothing. I'm not getting any error messages, and httpsd is running. but the web pages aren't coming up either... BTW: httpsdctl configtest shows that the httpsd.conf file is okay. If anyone has any more insight into this, I would much appreciate it.

Contents should be hostname.domain-name.TLD and domain-name.TLD For example on my box: nostromo:[/var/qmail/control] cat rcpthosts nostromo.brian-jackson.net brian-jackson.net HTH Brian My rcpthosts looks like this: dasboot.birch.se thrawn.birch.se This is the machine Im sitting on and using as my workstation logning in to squirrelmail via my LAN. setiathome.birch.se This is the squirrelmail/apache/qmail server but the LAN domain + LAN hostname. localhost tysken.un1x.la webmail.tysken.un1x.la Those to are the domain/subdomain names for the internet of setiathome.birch.se I have set my hostname to tysken.un1x.la instead of setiathome.birch.se but I still get the same error. But Im thinking that this is not qmail problem that this have something to do with courier-imap not allowing it but I can be wrong. Any who thanks for the reply!

Of course. The main issue is that since each device on SCSI can negotiate its own speed with the controller, an ancient SCSI tape drive with a 5MB/sec write speed that negotiated a 10MB/sec bus speed with the controller could tie up the SCSI bus 50% of the time just to transfer data. If the server is trying to do other stuff while a backup is running it can degrade performance noticeably. If your tape drive really is LVD-capable, it's not an issue. Even a 15MB/sec drive will only tie up 20% of the SCSI bus bandwidth at full speed, assuming it negotiated an LVD-80 connection to the server. I think all drives are lvd AND I know I have an active lvd terminator -- it cost me $30! But, I do have cdrom ron the 50 pin bus. It is terminated using the cdrom internal terminator. I wonder... On the 29160 cards, the internal SE plugs are searated from the LVD/SE plugs by a bridge chip, so your cdrom should not affect your other devices' ability to negotiate LVD mode on their segment of the cable. You may want to explicitly tell your controller to terminate the top 8 bits of the bus only; sometimes the autodetect setting doesn't work. Running camcontrol inq da0 (then cd0, then sa0) will tell you what speed each device negotiated with the controller. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i18n with foreign package
Hello, I'm trying to install a foreign package with i18n with a specific prefix. The package is icewm-1.2.8pre2 and the prefix is /usr/opt/icewm-1.2.8pre2.

Below there is de.po/LC_MESSAGES/icewm.mo for example. But starting this icewm with LANG=de_DE has no effect. LANG=C is used.

How to Tell When Man Page Changes?
I've always believed that the date man puts at the middle of the bottom of a man page is the date of last modification. In at least the case of the ssh_config man page, that seems to be wrong. I like to read lengthy man pages off dead trees instead of pixels. To avoid killing too many trees, I've made a practice of checking the pixel copy's date against the dead-tree copy's date, and printing a new version only when the date changes. For ssh_config, at least, that seems to be a bad idea. My most recent paper copy is from FreeBSD 4.6, and has a date of September 25, 1999. The most recent pixel copy from FreeBSD-STABLE says FreeBSD 4.8, and still has a date of September 25, 1999. Looks like they should be identical. They're not. At least the default for CheckHostIP reversed from yes to no from the 4.6 page to the 4.8 page. Is the date at the bottom of the page supposed to be the date of last modification? If not, what is it good for? Is there some other recommended means of telling when a man page has changed?

Re: Spammers forged my address - help unbury me from bounces?
Is this possible? Please save me from being pushed over the line, buying a paintball gun, and going hunting. You're lucky if you can identify a set of senders, rather than random alphabet soup senders. You've identified the problem of dropping the mail only after receiving it. This is the dumbest defense, since it allows the abusers to steal your resources. So the best solution is to have the SMTPD process of the MX (desirably a machine in front of your mailbox server) to reject at the envelope, ie, after the RCTP TO: command and before the DATA command. In postfix, you would have a to_recipients_black.map ACL file that the SMTPD process used to reject: [EMAIL PROTECTED]554 ACL unknown recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED] 554 ACL unknown recipient This keeps the costs to you in bandwidth and in MX resources to barest minimum. Postfix has another feature called reject_unverified_recipient that will probe the next-hop (your mailbox server) to see if the recipient is accepted there before actually the inbound msg. This avoids building the to_recipients_black.map. the reject_unverified_recipient feature maintains its own equivalent file to cache positive and negative answers to the recipient probes.

DSL router when what I need is a bridge; ARP problem?
Grrr My only choice for a DSL isp will only do G.lite in routing mode, not bridging. So... I want the dsl modem to essentially act as a bridge, feeding into one ethernet card on my freebsd box via a crossed cat5 cable, and the freebsd box handling routing and other duties for hosts connected to a hub on another ethernet card. I *thought* this was going to be simple... dsl line --- Cisco 678 -ed0- freebsd -de0- local host I naively picked up a Cisco 678 thinking it would do the trick. However, even with CBOS 2.4.7 installed, it won't route out the ethernet port -- only out the wan port. e.g., if the routing tables in the cisco look like this: cbos#show route ip mask gateway type interface 0.0.0.00.0.0.0a.b.c.d DSAR wan0-0 router-ip255.255.255.252 freebsd-ip LAR eth0 local-lan-ip 255.255.255.248 freebsd-ip SAR eth0 The router can ping anything on the local lan, sending its request and receiving its reply via the freebsd box; but if anything on the local lan other than the directly connected freebsd box pings the router, the router receives the ping but isn't smart enough to route the reply back. Not exactly a very smart routing algorithm. Instead, it sends out an ARP request on ed0 trying to discover the ethernet address for the local lan host which is on de0; it receives no reply, since the host is on the de0 lan on the other side of the freebsd box. I'm not sure what the SAR type means (or DSAR and LAR for that matter). From the arp man page, it seems like an arp -s entry should be automatically made in the freebsd box's arp cache as a result of the freebsd box knowing about the hosts on the local lan, and it should respond to the request from the router by sending its own (proxy) ethernet address, and then forward the packet out the other side. However, this doesn't happen. A dump of the arp tables shows only the entry needed for routing on the local net, with no addresses published. If I manually add the ethernet address of the machine on the local net to the freebsd arp table using arp -s local host name local host ethernet addr pub only then the freebsd box does respond to the arp request from the router, but sends the ethernet address of the local host on de0, rather than that of its own interface on ed0, to the router. The router then puts the ping (icmp) reply onto the wire to the freebsd box (ed0), but it is never picked up because it is addressed at the ethernet level to the local host on the other side (de0). On the other hand, if I add the ethernet address of the freebsd box interface to the router (ed0) as the published entry for the local host, the routing tables get generally bolluxed up, including notifications to the local host that its ethernet address is now different. This appears to be because the arp entry is made for the inside local network on de0, rather than for the ethernet line running to the router on ed0. The arp command appears to have no ability to specify which interface the published address is for. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is this a bug or a feature, or am I just messed up and not doing it right? And finally... can anyone suggest a different dsl modem which will route properly, and which can accept vpi/vci pairs like (0,100)? I'm told the Cisco 827H will deal with the vpi/vci pair (The Cisco 678 will only take a vci in the range [0..63], but I don't have a lot of faith that it will route any better without info from someone who has direct experience with it. And, yes, I would like to shoot the bozo at my isp who set their stuff up, but he's moved on to wreck havoc at yet another installation.

samba shares over bridged freebsd wap
I recently got a freebsd wap working. my connection to the internet seems fine, i can ping away all i want. i followed the steps in the handbook, which include bridging the wi0 on the wap to the nic [rl1]. However, this doesnt seem to work with samba [and the wap happens to store my files which i share over samba]. It seems because the wireless device has no ip, samba doesnt see it. assuming this is the problem, what are the options for having the wap work, but still being able to access my samba shares? [as a side note: when i boot into windows on the wireless client, i can access the wireless server just fine. so this makes me think its doable, but perhaps a limitation in the current samba? or simply poor configuration by the user?] perhaps setting up the wireless stuff on a different subnet, assigning an ip, and then using static routes? this is rather new territory for me, so my understanding is probably off. thanks for any info. yussef -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Boot problem: ata0: resetting devices
Le Jeudi 29 Mai 2003 07:05, Rich Morin a écrit : I recently purchased a new motherboard (ECS EliteGroup Mainboard P4S5A/DX+; AMI BIOS) and a matching CPU (Celeron, 478 pin, 2.1 GHz) from outpost.com. I stuffed these into an old chassis, adding a 500 W power supply and a pair of 512 MB DDR DIMMs. After walking through the configuration (accepting Optimal Settings for everything), I tried booting up the machine on an IDE drive that was loaded with FreeBSD and had been used most recently with a 200 MHz Pentium II. The boot sequence proceeded without problems for quite a while, checking devices, etc. Then, however, it halted with a pair of nastygrams: ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting ata0: resetting devices I tried putting the ATA drive and the CDROM on separate cables, but that didn't seem to help. My suspicion is that the drive is too slow for the ATA controller, but I don't see any way to compensate for this. Help? Hello, Deactivate the DMA mode in the BIOS, and it it should boot. Which version of FreeBSD do you use ? What is the chipset used by the motherboard ?

If i've understood you correctly you want to join two seperate physical network segments on the same subnet using the freebsd box. Since the join is the Freebsd box then getting that to bridge the two nics should work (assigning and IP to one if needed.) Otherwise you'll need some more routes and to make things more complex, a working example that I have in use (wanted to firewall a class c but was supplied with a managed router as .1 and didnt want to use bridging.) The router and firewalls routerside nic have a .252 netmask (subnet of .1 and .2) the router (.1) has a static route of x.y.z.0/24 via .2 (firewalls external nic) the firewall has .1 as its default route. rest of class c has firewalls other nic (.194 for no good reason) as default route. Hope this helps Vince The router can ping anything on the local lan, sending its request and receiving its reply via the freebsd box; but if anything unless the freebsd box is bridging already not sure why that works. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

David, check out this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html Before you install and configure FreeBSD on your system, there is an important subject that you should be aware of, especially if you have multiple hard drives. In a PC running a BIOS-dependent operating system such as MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows, the BIOS is able to abstract the normal disk drive order, and the operating system goes along with the change. This allows the user to boot from a disk drive other than the so-called ``primary master''. A user who is accustomed to taking advantage of these features may become surprised when the results with FreeBSD are not as expected. FreeBSD does not use the BIOS, and does not know the ``logical BIOS drive mapping''. This can lead to very perplexing situations, especially when drives are physically identical in geometry, and have also been made as data clones of one another. When using FreeBSD, always restore the BIOS to natural drive numbering before installing FreeBSD, and then leave it that way. If you need to switch drives around, then do so, but do it the hard way, and open the case and move the jumpers and cables. hope this helps, Chris At 05:26 PM 5/28/2003 -0500, you wrote: I have an old IBM PC320 Server with the following hardware (use to have Microsoft SBS 4.5 installed before I tried to install FreeBSD): 128MB RAM 2 (4.5GB) Quantum Viking WSE SCSI hard drives, one is SCSI ID#0 and the other SCSI ID#1 SCSI ID#7 Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI controller SCSI ID#2 HP 35470A Tape Drive SCSI ID#3 IBM CDRM00203 SCSI CD-ROM Trident TGVA (1MB) video card 2 (100Mhz) Pentium Processors Installed FreeBSD 4.8 (and also tried FreeBSD 4.2) with no hiccups using the outlined installation in the FreeBSD handbook with no other operating systems. When I go to reboot, the Boot Manager comes up with two options: F1 FreeBSD and F5 Drive 1 (or F5 Drive 0, depending if I select F5). Neither work. It will not boot past this point. What am I doing wrong? I know it probably has something to do with my SCSI ID's but I don't have a clue what arrangement or BIOS settings that need to be adjusted. Has anyone installed on this type of server and if so, what settings are needed on the physical server. Or is there a way to get around it in the installation process. Thanks for all your help! I'd really like to get FreeBSD going on this particular box.

Is my HD broken?
From daily security mails of a FreeBSD 4.7 server I manage, I got, 9 days ago: (da3:sym0:0:3:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 3 93 83 48 0 0 10 0 (da3:sym0:0:3:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:393834f asc:40,85 (da3:sym0:0:3:0): Diagnostic failure: ASCQ = Component ID vinum: vinum0.p1.s0 is crashed by force vinum: vinum0.p1 is faulty fatal:vinum0.p1.s0 read error, block 59474697 for 8192 bytes vinum0.p1.s0: user buffer block 59474432 for 8192 bytes vinum: vinum0.p1.s0 is stale by force I did vinum start vinum0.p1 and everything went as good as expected. Yesterday I got it once more: (da3:sym0:0:3:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 4 3c a1 c8 0 0 10 0 (da3:sym0:0:3:0): HARDWARE FAILURE info:43ca1c8 asc:40,85 (da3:sym0:0:3:0): Diagnostic failure: ASCQ = Component ID vinum: vinum0.p1.s0 is crashed by force vinum: vinum0.p1 is faulty fatal:vinum0.p1.s0 read error, block 70558089 for 8192 bytes vinum0.p1.s0: user buffer block 70557824 for 8192 bytes vinum: vinum0.p1.s0 is stale by force I'm doing vinum start right now and I'm quite sure it will work ok. However, I'm a little worried: can my disk be broken? It's pretty new and still under warranty, so I'd like to change it before anything breaks badly, *if it is*. Can I possibly blame the controller (it's a Tekram DC-390U2W)? Wouldn't it be strange, since it's always the same HD (out of 4) that shows this problem? Any diagnostic tool I can use? bye Thanks av. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FW: closed stream message when attempting portupgrade
Hello, I originally sent this to ports, but I think questions is the proper group. This is probably a trivial fix on my end, but I have never run into this before. When I am trying to do a portupgrade -ra, or a pkgdb -F, I get a closed stream message and then the portupgrade kicks me back to the command prompt. Here is my system info: FreeBSD diabloii.qg.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #1: Mon May 15 13:55:57 CDT 2023 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DIABLOII alpha Here is the output of the portupgrade/pkgdb commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# portupgrade -ra closed stream [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# pkgdb -F closed stream [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# I have recently cvsup-ed (last couple days), but this has been a problem for me for a few weeks now. If anyone has any insight on this issue, help would be much appreciated. Thanks, AJ Schroeder P.S.
