Creating an additional DNS zone file
I have a DNS server for my local LAN. I use ibacsoft.dynu.com as the primary zone and all works properly. When I wanted to add an additional zone, lalis.com, to use virtual hosts with apache, I created the following zone file, called lalis.com on /etc/namedb: --- $TTL3600 lalis.com. IN SOA adeline.ibacsoft.dynu.com. root.adeline.ibacsoft.dynu.com ( 6; Serial 3600; Refresh 900 ; Retry 360 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS adeline.ibacsoft.dynu.com. ; IN A 192.168.0.101 www IN CNAME@ mailIN CNAME@ @ IN MX 10 mail.lalis.com. I then reload named with ndc reload, ping www.lalis.com and all looks fine. I even go to www.lalis.com and the apache home page shows up. The problem is when I try to use lalis.com, without the www part. When I ping lalis.com, it doesn´t give me the correct internal IP address, like www.lalis.com does. What am I doing wrong?

how many partitions on a slice?
I choose to use the entire disk during freebsd install. Ok, that creates 1 really large slice correct? Now within this slice how may partitions cam there be? I tried setting up /root /tmp /home /var /usr /sandbox/ /private /storage . after adding sandbox and attempting to add /private and /storage i saw that the partitions looked different in the freebsd disk setup tool. I continued anyway but upon the system setting up the previous entries and formatting them i received messages that /private and /storate were not mountable or something like that...anyway i had to start over and only add six partitions..well other that the swap.

Re: fsck'ing UFS partitons under linux?

I know UFS support is enabled in the kernel, because I'm able to mount the drive read-only. I believe I've been unable to mount it read-write because the drive needs to be fsck'ed, but I can't figure out how to do this under linux. I've tried running 'fsck -t ufs /dev/hda2', but I get an error about /sbin/fsck.ufs not existing ... and googling 'fsck.ufs' turns up very little, and what little it turns up isn't all in English, which doesn't really help me. From this I would gather linux does not have an fsck variant able to deal with an ufs file system (and I don't think I'd want to trust it if it did). If the partition is imperfect then clean it up under FreeBSD. Surely this is a question for linux -- not FreeBSD. I, and guess many other subscribers to this mailing list, would have no idea how linux names and manages bsd style partitions within slices which I believe is exotic in linux.

Most commonly on a single hard drive system, you would either devote the whole disk to a single FreeBSD slice or have 1 DOS/Windows slice and 1 FreeBSD slice if you are dual-booting. You would only need additional FreeBSD slices if you need more partitions than a single slice allows. Within the main FreeBSD slice, partitions a and b are reserved for /root and swap respectively, and c refers to the partition as a whole; By convention, partition d was formerly reserved and while there's probably no problem now in using it as an ordinary partition it is not usually recommended for general use, leaving the available partitions e, f, g and h. How you divide up the remaining partitions depends mainly on what you are using the machine for and how much space any of those functions require. In general any sets of files you want contained for easy administration or to prevent conflicts with other files systems are best set up in their own partitions. You will definitely want /usr in its own partitions, and /var as well to prevent mail and logs spawned by a process running amok or as a result of a DOS attempt from filling up your other filesystems. /home is a good candidate for it's own partition as well to allow easy containment of users data for backups or moving to a different machine. If you are using the server for an ftp or file server, those data files are best stored on a dedicated partition as well. I'm not sure I'd bother giving /tmp it's own partition--applications that rely heavily on tmp space tend to use /usr/tmp or /var/tmp more often than /tmp anyways (at least in my experience), so I just make sure /var is large enough to hold it's own contents as well as any temporary files created by any applications. Depending on what you are using /private, /storage and /sandbox for you may want to set up a secondary slice to allow them to have their own partitions or set them up as separate filesystems within an existing partition.

Recommendations on new hardware
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, The PC I currently own looks about like this: Pentium III 450MHz 256MB RAM Motherboard by Siemens (I think so, though I am not entirely certain), with a VIA82C686 chipset and just *3* PCI slots (one of them shared with ISA) 2 hard disks (both by IBM, 80 and 30 Gig), 2 CD-drives (Sony 4x/2x/24x CD-RW, LiteOn 12x/40x DVD-ROM) The main problem with this setup is the motherboard, which sucks quite a lot. The first problem I have is the limited number of PCI slots available. I own an AVM A1 which occupies the ISA slot of the board; the ISA slot is shared with one of the PCI slots, which leaves me with just *two* free PCI slots, which are occupied by my sound card (Terratec XLerate or something, Aureal Vortex 8820 chipset) and my TV card (Hauppauge WinTV Go, Brooktree 878 chipset). I still do have a Videologic DVD decoder card I would like to use and I would also like to have an ethernet card. So I need a board with at least two more PCI slots (plus an ISA slot, or I need a new ISDN card). The second problem: I got a 19 screen recently. So I increased my desktop resolution to 1280x1024. Now whatching TV and listening to MP3s at the same time makes my machine crash (PCI bus freezes probably). The third problem is my BIOS: Linux, FreeBSD *and* Windows 2000 don't recognize my 80GB-harddisk, they only see the first 32GB. What this comes down to is: I need a new motherboard. And I want to make sure it runs with both Linux and FreeBSD. It should be rock-solid-stable primarily and perform well, if possible. Nice features are alway welcome but have low priority. I thought of getting a board with the nForce2-chipset, but I think these aren't supported by FreeBSD, are they? Anyway, what do you recommend for a new motherboard? It should be able to deal with 384 to 512 MB of RAM (I am using FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE!) Thanks in advance, kind regards, Benjamin - -- Der Hoffnung beraubt sein, heißt noch nicht - verzweifeln.

I can at least tell you, though, that the unreliability you see is simply due to MS's 'hijacking' of Java by use of a non-standard VM. Because of IE's market share, the sites you want to use all are tested and work with IE's non-standard Java, but that's not the case for Sun's or IBM's standard versions. Hmm, so maybe I've answered your question anyway - any non-IE browser will have difficulty on many Java Web sites because it's not using IE's virtual machine.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE on a Compaq Armade E500 notebook, which is using a 'ATI RAGE P/M Mobility AGP 2x' graphics accelerator. Yesterday i updated from XFree-4.2.0 to XFree-4.3.0, and since then, the TV-OUT refuses to work anymore under X. I installed 4.3.0 from the ports via portupgrade and installed the corresponding ATI package as mentioned on http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ati.2.php Before, i was able to switch between display and TV-OUT with a special function key, in case there is a TV connected on the chinch connector. This worked in both text console and X desktop. After the XFree update, it only works in text console mode, and the function key doesn't switch to the TV-OUT anymore when displaying the X session. So i'm quite sure that there's no hardware but an X server problem ... Any hints very appreciated...

Re: Obtaining ports collection
Hi, I have a very slow connection an I want to update the ports collection of my FreeBSD 4.7(i386) Release box. Somehow I have managed to download the collection from the ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports.tar.gz; and I have expanded it into a new /usr/ports/ directory, renaming my old collection to /usr/ports.bak/ To you think that this trick will actually work, or am I violating some rules? While this will of course work, there is no need to download the whole collection via ftp. CVSup might have been a faster alternative: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html As a supfile, you should use modified copy of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile You can als re-use your source tar-balls from you old ports tree (the are in /usr/ports.bak/distfiles now More information about the p.c. can be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-using.html Is the ports collection of the current branch appropriate for my FreeBSD 4.7 box or not? Yes, there is only a current branch of the ports collection. While it is recommended to use a -STABLE box with an up-to-date p.c., most of the ports should work on your 4.7 box.

You can convert it into human readable format by: % date -r 1064005200 Fri Sep 19 22:00:00 BST 2003 Or from within Python, you should have access to strftime(3) or equivalent which will convert a time_t into a human-readable time/date.

Re: How can convert user expired days in human readable ?
Within the master.passwd, the time is stored in seconds since the Epoch, and there are standard C and POSIX functions for converting this into any format you want. I don't know much about python, but within Perl you can use strftime() to convert the date. You would do something similar to: strftime(%D, localtime($unixtime)) where $unixtime is assigned to the value you pulled from the master.passwd file. The %D simply returns a MM/DD/YY format date. Check to see if Python has similar functions... they are POSIX compliant. Murat USTUNTAS wrote: Hello all, On my system, some users have expire day user settings.

According to the man-page dhclient(8), it's possible to
add a -q switch to only log errors.

The client normally prints a startup message and displays the protocol
sequence to the standard error descriptor until it has acquired
an address, and then only logs messages using the syslog (3) facility.
The -q flag prevents any messages other than errors from being printed to
the standard error descriptor.

I've tried to put it in rc.conf like this :

dhcp_flags=-q
But it still logs every connection.

Check the lease file you're receiving, if it has a rediculously short
lease time complain to your provider.
Or it may well be the case that their dhcpd server is way too chatty.
This often seems to be the case (possibly to make it work with windows,
I dunno). I just block that traffic from my cable ISP on my firewall
and keep state on outgoing connections, so that if the lease is going
to expire dhclient will ask the server and get its reply but only then,
not without the client asking. It also makes me feel a bit more secure.

This excessive logging behavior started for about 4 days ago.
At least, thats when I got aware of it.
Everything is working just fine, except for this.
My IP-address hardly ever change. I've had the same one for nearly a year now.
There got to be a way to tell it to only log errors, not every connection,
but I don't know how.
I was looking for a way in the syslog.conf, but I have very little
understanding for that tool. ( not a clue ).
Any more hints or clues would be preciated.
This is a snip from my lease file :
lease {
interface xl0;
fixed-address 217.209.211.129;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

It's not IPFW that does that, it's syslogd(8) trying to avoid
cluttering up the logs with hundreds and hundreds of identical lines.
If you like that sense of deja-vu then add '-c' to the syslogd_flags
variable in /etc/rc.conf. As ever, the syslogd(8) man page is the
place to read all about it.
Or if anyone has a perl script that tosses out the odd

Re: local patch to a /usr/ports file? how to do it?
If you don't need to do it much just build like this: make patch add your change directly to sendbackup-dump.c make install clean If it's something you're doing very frequently you can poke around the ports tree and you should be able to find a few examples of ports which conditionally include a patch based on a make parameter the user passes in.

5.0 won't detect Buslogic BT-958 SCSI adapter
I've been a linux fan for several years now and I'm trying to get my feet wet with FreeBSD. Unfortunately, I've met with limited success thus far. I'm trying to install 5.0 on an IBM x440 and can't seem to get the installer to detect the SCSI adapter, as it routinely tells me no disk found! at about the third step into the installation. What's strange however is that I see the bt0 during the boot sequence followed by a large initialization string. Based on my research I've tried such things as setting: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 and hint.bt.0.at=isa hint.bt.0.port=0x330 none of which seemed to have any effect. Installing RH8 on the system worked perfectly, meaning pure HW issues probably aren't at play here. Any advice or further possible directions?

Re: good browser and java combo?
I took a look at both your recommendations. The issue i have with both is they require mozilla as they use it for the core rendering code and maybe more. If i had problems with mozilla, i would think i would have the same issues with these two. Is there nothing out there besides opera that does not share netscrape or mozilla code and works with java?

Hi everybody.

I'm connected to the internet by ADSL and dynamic IP.
Dhcp-client keeps filling up my /var/log/messages.

/snip
I'm running it with a practically empty dhclient.conf file.
Only added one line to preserve my resolv.conf file.
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
According to the man-page dhclient(8), it's possible to
add a -q switch to only log errors.
No, that's not what the man page says the option does. That option
keeps anything but errors being sent to standard error; it has no
relationship to the system log.
snip
The client normally prints a startup message and displays the protocol
sequence to the standard error descriptor until it has acquired
an address, and then only logs messages using the syslog (3) facility.
The -q flag prevents any messages other than errors from being printed to
the standard error descriptor.
/snip
Read that again to see what I mean.
Check the lease file you're receiving, if it has a rediculously short
lease time complain to your provider.
This was obviously the situation.
This excessive logging behavior started for about 4 days ago.
At least, thats when I got aware of it.
Everything is working just fine, except for this.
My IP-address hardly ever change. I've had the same one for nearly a year now.
There got to be a way to tell it to only log errors, not every connection,
but I don't know how.
I was looking for a way in the syslog.conf, but I have very little
understanding for that tool. ( not a clue ).
Any more hints or clues would be preciated.
Pick the dhclient messages up in a different log file.
Something like (untested):
!dhclient
*.* /var/log/dhcpd
This is a snip from my lease file :
lease {
interface xl0;
fixed-address 217.209.211.129;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option time-offset 3600;
option routers 217.209.211.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 1200;
Yep, your lease time is 10 minutes long.
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1,10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2;
option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.113.1;
option broadcast-address 217.209.211.255;
renew 5 2003/6/20 12:18:03;
rebind 5 2003/6/20 12:26:08;
expire 5 2003/6/20 12:28:38;
}
Try setting your dhclient.conf to ask for a longer lease. If that
fails, pull the dhclient messages into another file...

Re: good browser and java combo?
For someone on a BSD mailing list, you sure sound like a Linuz zealot. 1) Sun IBM have made major contributions to the development of Linux. What do you think SCO is accusing IBM of? 2) The GPL already does prevent all works and derivate works to be sold for profit, and is quite restrictive in that sense. It's the BSD license that allows for commercial use. 3) Solaris has many advanced technologies that are still in their infancy on Linux.

I am all for opensrc code, however i think the GPL and opensrc community should change their license to disallow government and large companies from taking the technology and using it for their own profit and or against us.

Thanks in ./adv Sorry that I haven't used Java enough in FreeBSD to answer your question about browsers (my rural area limited to 28.8K dialup and satellite; latter's too expensive, so installing Java is the work of days). I can at least tell you, though, that the unreliability you see is simply due to MS's 'hijacking' of Java by use of a non-standard VM. Because of IE's market share, the sites you want to use all are tested and work with IE's non-standard Java, but that's not the case for Sun's or IBM's standard versions. Hmm, so maybe I've answered your question anyway - any non-IE browser will have difficulty on many Java Web sites because it's not using IE's virtual machine.

I'm running it with a practically empty dhclient.conf file.
Only added one line to preserve my resolv.conf file.

According to the man-page dhclient(8), it's possible to
add a -q switch to only log errors.
No, that's not what the man page says the option does. That option
keeps anything but errors being sent to standard error; it has no
relationship to the system log.
snip
The client normally prints a startup message and displays the
protocol sequence to the standard error descriptor until it has
acquired an address, and then only logs messages using the syslog
(3) facility. The -q flag prevents any messages other than errors
from being printed to the standard error descriptor.

Read that again to see what I mean.
Ahh.. sorry :-)
Check the lease file you're receiving, if it has a rediculously short
lease time complain to your provider.
This was obviously the situation.
I'll stay put for a week or so, just to see if it goes back to normal due to
some upgrades or any other fishy stuff at my ISP.
It's not really a problem, just annoying.
This excessive logging behavior started for about 4 days ago.
At least, thats when I got aware of it.
Everything is working just fine, except for this.
My IP-address hardly ever change. I've had the same one for nearly a year
now. There got to be a way to tell it to only log errors, not every
connection, but I don't know how.
I was looking for a way in the syslog.conf, but I have very little
understanding for that tool. ( not a clue ).
Any more hints or clues would be preciated.
Pick the dhclient messages up in a different log file.
Something like (untested):
!dhclient
*.* /var/log/dhcpd
That did not work for me, if I did the right things.
Edited syslog.conf and added the above.
touch /var/log/dhcpd
added the following to newsyslog.conf
/var/log/dhcpd 644 3 100 @T00 Z
rebooted
This is a snip from my lease file :
lease {
interface xl0;
fixed-address 217.209.211.129;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option time-offset 3600;
option routers 217.209.211.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 1200;
Yep, your lease time is 10 minutes long.
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1,10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2;
option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.113.1;
option broadcast-address 217.209.211.255;
renew 5 2003/6/20 12:18:03;
rebind 5 2003/6/20 12:26:08;
expire 5 2003/6/20 12:28:38;
}
Try setting your dhclient.conf to ask for a longer lease. If that
fails, pull the dhclient messages into another file...
Will do.
Thx everybody.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ 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, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters

Any ideas? # uname -a FreeBSD homer 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 16 23:18:32 PDT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HOMER i386 lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -liconv cc -O -pipe -o cothreads-gthreads cothreads_gthreads-cothreads.o -pthread -L/usr/local/lib ../cothreads/.libs/libcothreads-gthreads.al -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -liconv ../cothreads/.libs/libcothreads-gthreads.al(libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth _mctx.lo): In function `pth_mctx_set': libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth_mctx.lo(.text+0x9b): undefined reference to `sigaltstack' libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth_mctx.lo(.text+0x100): undefined reference to `sigaltstack' libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth_mctx.lo(.text+0x112): undefined reference to `sigaltstack' libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth_mctx.lo(.text+0x127): undefined reference to `sigaltstack' libcothreads_gthreads_la-pth_mctx.lo(.text+0x158): undefined reference to `sigaltstack' gmake[5]: *** [cothreads-gthreads] Error 1 gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer/work/gstreamer-0.6.2/libs/ext/cothreads /tests' gmake[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer/work/gstreamer-0.6.2/libs/ext/cothreads ' gmake[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer/work/gstreamer-0.6.2/libs/ext' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer/work/gstreamer-0.6.2/libs' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer/work/gstreamer-0.6.2' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/gnomemedia2. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2. ===[root] /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 # ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
About domain name registrars
What are the best alternatives for registering a domain name? Has anyone used dandomain.com? It seems very attractive, at $16.00/year, and you can modify your own DNS record, but has anyone on freebsd-questions used it?

RE: About domain name registrars
Godaddy.com is $8.95/year and I've had ZERO problems with them. You can edit everything online very easily 24/7 too. I've moved all of my domains there.
