HELP! Undefined symbol "__stdoutp" in FreeBSD 4.3...
Hi, On a FreeBSD 4.3 server (I inherited when I took over IT duties at a new client), I am getting "Undefined symbol "__stdoutp"" error messages when I try to run utilities (e.g. sudo) that I have pkg_add'ed to the server. Also, attempts to build the latest 'sudo' port fail. Initially, the port building failure involved the fact that /usr/local/bin/sed_inplace did not exist. Trying to build that port failed as well... so I pkg_add'ed sed_inplace... But then the sudo port build kept failing. Here is an example of the error I get when I try to run sudo: > sudo date /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "__stdoutp" referenced from COPY relocation in sudo I tried searching the mailing lists via http://lists.freebsd.org, but was told the "lists are unavailable at this time"... I have tried 'google' searches etc. The best I can figure is that something changed somewhere along the way in FreeBSD 4.X causing port builds to fail. I am also guessing that it _may_ have something to do with the 'compat' libraries, but this is just a guess. I see the following "C lib" related compat libraries in /usr/lib/compat: /usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3 /usr/lib/compat/libc_r.so.3 /usr/lib/compat/libc_r.so.4 Note: I do _not_ have a /usr/lib/compat/libc.so.4 should I? I can generally figure things out on my own... but this has kind of got me turning in circles... Maybe if someone can just point me in the correct direction... or send me a pointer to a FAQ or HowTo article, or a simple list of instructions. After doing some more searching... I'm getting the feeling that I need to re-build my libraries, which would mean installing the source, wouldn't it? If this is correct, I need some instructions or pointers to instructions in the handbook. Update: I have done a 'make' in /usr/src/lib/libc and copied the newly created libc.so.4 to /usr/lib/libc.so.4 and changed the permissions to 444... but I still get the same Undefined symbol "__stdoutp" error... This smells like there has to be a _simple_ fix for this...

Re: Help PLEASE! on proper kernel config file to use serial portswith puc driver
Stan, Could you describe your hardware in a bit more detail. I can't imagine why your system would hard lock, unless there is something seriously wrong. Also, I'm curious why puc is detecting your card as sio4 and sio5 (COM5 and COM6 respectively) Most mainboards only have sio0/COM1 and sio1/COM2. What is using sio2 and sio3? BTW - I would start from a generic kernel configuration if you don't remember what you did. Then, make the necessary changes to the copy of GENERIC, and go from there. Then, rebuild the kernel - it probably isn't necessary, but it will at least return your kernel to something closer to the baseline.

Re: Really Crazy SMTP Problem
Eric, Not knowing what all you've got configured exactly, here's a couple of possible guesses to weed out the basics. Can you do a reverse DNS lookup on your mail server? In other words, perform a whois on the IP address and get a legit domain name. Many servers require this in order to keep out obvious spammers. You should also triple check and make sure that you have SMTP open to come back to you from the outside world. SMTP requires open ports coming in as well as going out. Check your TCP Wrappers and whether or not IPFW or IPFilters is in the mix.

imake won't install-4.3.0

Note that it is not necessarily gcc which is at fault for such
failures. It may be a bug in gcc, but it may also be a bug in the code
being compiled that has a bug that only shows up under higher
optimization levels.
The latter is probably somewhat more common actually.

But if the bug is not in gcc but in the code being compiled (and which
only happens to show up when compiled with GCSE optimization) such a
patch would disable this optimization for correct code also even though
it is not necessary there.

The problem is in identifying precisely which piece of code is
failing. A regression test is only useful if it concisely exercises a
specific set of tests. As I said, in theory any optimization problems
can be tracked down to the failure of a certain piece of code, but in
something as large as the kernel it is not usually easy.
Ah, my apologies-- I believe I see where the confusion lies.
I understand that figuring out why the kernel died can be hard, particularly if
the failures aren't concise and completely reproducable, and thus tracing the
problem back to making the right change to gcc to fix the optimization that
caused the observed failure is thus also hard.
Fine. However, you don't _need_ to identify the reason why the kernel died, or
solve the bug in global common expression elimination to solve the problem of
compiling the system with "cc -O2" resulting in a buggy kernel. If you
determine that compiling with "cc -O -fgcse" results in failures, one does:

Actually it doesn't. You get this result because sh splits variables
on $IFS before passing the result to a command, so what echo gets is
argv[1]="-f \"t"
argv[2]="\""
, and echo always prints its arguments separated by a space. You can
verify that the variable is set correctly by running "set | grep -a
foo". To pass the entire string as one argument, run echo "$foo".

This is because zsh passes variables directly to commands, unless the
SH_WORD_SPLIT flag is set. You can force spltting with the ${=foo}
syntax.

Installing 4.8 from a PCMCIA NIC
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.8 on a machine with no CD-ROM, and only a PCMCIA NIC (Microsoft (yep) MN-520, Prism 2, works under Linux using the "prism2_cs" driver). sysinstall prompts for the PCMCIA bus'es memory segment and usable IRQs, and I give it the values that Linux was using on the same hardware. It probes around and loads the main menu, but no network interface is listed by ifconfig on the holographic shell. Do I need to do anything extra to start the card? Its LEDs light up as though it's being managed by the system, but I don't know what to do next. Is there a part of TFM I should be reading? -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The problem is in identifying precisely which piece of code is failing. A regression test is only useful if it concisely exercises a specific set of tests. As I said, in theory any optimization problems can be tracked down to the failure of a certain piece of code, but in something as large as the kernel it is not usually easy.

can't connect to the network
i'm running FreeBSD 4.8 on one of my machines. i'm having a really frustrating problem. i cannot connec to anything outside of the interface. i've quarduple checked that the NIC is assigned an address with the same subnet as my network. i can ping the ip address on the NIC, but i can't ping any other device on the network. i had firewall options in my rc.conf, but they are all commented out (quadruple checked that too). any ideas on how i can resolve this matter? __ Do you Yahoo!?

tcsh script: quote and spaces problems
Hello,
I've been trying to include the quote (") characters and spaces into a tcsh script
variable; for already two days I've been trying various ways doing this to no avail!
I'm about to think that it is impossible.
For example:
#!/bin/tcsh
set flag="-f "t ""
This obviously doesn't work because of too many quotes involved; but what does work
to achieve this? There are two problems here:
1) flag should contain the two internal quotes of "t "
2) the "t " contains two spaces.
When I use
set flag='-f "t "'
the two spaces are automagically (?) reduced to only one space!!
The latter seems to be a general problem:
set flag="f "
wil result in flag containing only "f ".
Any solutions for this problem with quotes and spaces in tcsh script?
Or is tcsh not suitable for this kind of things?
Thanks,
Rob.

Probably not, or it would have already been fixed.
Hopefully so, as the compiler toolchain is important. :-)
The warning against using FreeBSD with settings higher than -O1 (==
-O) is because it often causes bugs that are difficult to track down
(e.g. some aspect of the kernel just doesn't work properly).
OK. Can the existence of such problems be confirmed reliably, say by regression

Couldn't one compile with "cc -O -finline-functions", and then iterate through
"-fcse-follow-jumps", "-fgcse", etc and see which optimizations are safe?

shell scripting while if string length != 0
for reasons best left unsaid, we need to pull in a file full of partial
commands, and run them via a shell script on occasion, removing each command as
we run it. Have managed to hack togetherthe following shell script, but and
stumped on something simple because of my lack of shell knowledge;
the file that holds out commands
Server1 df -k
Server2 df -k
Server3 top | grep myprog
Server4 who
add new commands to the end of the file with
echo "Server2 who" >> /path/to/file_o_commands
then when we need to, run through the commands
#!/bin/sh
# get top command
DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`
# remove that command
cat /path/to/file_o_commands | sed '1d' > /path/to/file_o_commands
# run that command
ssh ${DOCOMMAND}
this works as intended with 1 exception, we need to add a while in there to loop
through the file and stop processing an exit when `head -n 1
/path/to/file_o_commands` does not return a line.
I almost want to borrow -n from if
while [ -n (DOCOMMAND=`head -n 1 /path/to/file_o_commands`) ] do
...rest of script...
done
Anyone care to enlighten me a bit?

Re: linux_llseek
Hmm. If I remember correctly, the linux_llseek() call is just a hack to add a wider-than-32-bit lseek(2) type call without touching anything already in the system. I may be confused, though. In any case, this doesn't really make sense, because it's really just a wrapper around a system call (at least, the normal lseek() is, and I can't imagine why any variant would be implemented much differently). The output may be some kind of artifact caused by the kernel dive, but I don't know why that would happen, either... maybe a -hacker would know. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The warning against using FreeBSD with settings higher than -O1 (== -O) is because it often causes bugs that are difficult to track down (e.g. some aspect of the kernel just doesn't work properly).

Nvidia Drivers + FreeBSD AGP + Big textures = Problems
Hi all , I'm getting problems with FreeBSD AGP driver and Nvidia DRVs. My system is composed by a Geforce3 Ti200 (by Creative) and an MSI KT4Ultra (KT400) . I've decided to use the FreeBSD AGP driver instead of the Nvidia one , but I'm getting the following problem: When I play to Enemy Territory (for now is the only game that I've tried) using HIGH_QUALITY options (1280x1024 + all 32bit +all effect to their max + texture compression NO ) after few time the textures start to flicker. The colors are strange , and after 1 minute the Video Card starts to draw the textures in the wrong place (for examples it draws the texture of a tank on the floor ) , after a couple of seconds all the screen starts to flicker , and then the system freeze. If I only enable the Texture compression (and so I reduce a bit the dimension of the textures) the problem disappears , and also if I reduce the quality of the textures (also reducing the size). I think that may be a memory allocation error in the AGP when it needs to write into the main memory , or something like this. Someone have my problem? Can someone solve it? I'd like to use the FreeBSD drv instead of the Nvidia one (I'd like to be more open that I can) Ah , Nvidia AGP drv solve the problem Thanks for your help Bye Marcello __ Yahoo!

BSD Install; San Jose, CA
22:44 GMT 7/31/03 Ladies and Gentlemen: I am a newer BSD user and a fairly seasoned Solaris user; I am having a FreeBSD install problem. Is there anyone in the San Jose, CA area that can get with me Tuesday 8/5/03 in the lobby of the San Jose Wyndham to help tackle my install problem. I have a Panasonic CF-25 Toughbook, and can get into the Sysinstall of 5.0, but I can only run 1 of 2 input medias at a time: either floppy (3.5") or CD. I cannot swap the floppy once Sysinstall loads and therefore cannot load from the CD. Can someone or a group of people help me install this via Laplink or some other option. I have the install CD's needed for ver. 4.7 and 5.0 Please respond by e-mail. Sincerely: Josh Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

"It's a feature, not a bug." :-) If you have lots of disk space, you can try using CVSup to mirror the CVS repository and let CVS merge your changes: * Omit the `tag' in your cvsupfile. Just don't put one in. * Change the `prefix' to a place where you have a lot of space, such as /usr/local/portcvs. (Do NOT use /usr!) * Cvsup as normal. * You should find a lot of files in /usr/local/portcvs/ports/* with names ending in ",v". These are the CVS files. * Back up your ports tree (mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.old). * cd /usr && cvs -d /usr/local/portcvs checkout ports * If all went well, you have a ports tree. Now, always cvsup this way. To update your main ports tree, do `cd /usr/ports && cvs -d /usr/local/portcvs update'. This will try and merge your changes. This may have been a bit difficult to understand.

RE: Help PLEASE! on proper kernel config file to use serial portswith puc driver
All you need in your kernel config is 'device puc'. You already appear to have this in your config, as your system detected the adapter. You will have to "sh MAKEDEV cuaa" (where 0 < n < NUM_PORTS) to get the device nodes in your /dev directory. Alternately, since they have sequential minor numbers, you can make them yourself. 'mknod cuaa0 c 28,128 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa1 c 28,129 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa2 c 28,130 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa3 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa4 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa5 c 28,131 root:wheel' You can also do this for the tty nodes as well. I prefer making the nodes myself, but the MAKEDEV script will do the same thing. Good luck, Seth Henry >OK, I've spent all night complaining kernels with no luck.

RE: Vinum on Root
I went back to the original root install method as per the book, and I got vinum working. Now, needed to change the size of the var volume, since during install I followed the book example and had var take up the rest of the disk, in my case all 187Gigs of it :). Was under the impression that it would be easy to resize or at least remove and create a new smaller var once the base is working. So, backed up the /var directory. Started the vinum prompt and used rm to remove the var subdisk, then remove the var plex and finally was able to remove the var volume. Now ran create vinum_var.conf - in this case the file was simply: volume var plex org concat sd len 1g drive rootdev So, did not use the offset, since vinum is now working and should know where the next 1g should come from. Is this a bad assumption? Well, the vinum create worked fine. Then copied the backed up /var contents to the new vinum volume. Did a reboot, and reboot failed. System requesting to run fsck. So, in single user mode did this and got the following error: "** /dev/vinum/var (NO WRITE) CANNOT READ BLK: 381244736 CONTINUE? Yes THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 381244736, 381244737, 381244738, 381244739, /dev/vinum/var: CANNOT FIGURE OUT FILE SYSTEM PARTITION So, what should I have done and is there a way to back out of this?

IPSEC with Dynamic IP addresses
Does anyone know of any documentation on how to do this ? I have searched through google and I find lots of references to people saying, "use certificates" but beyond that I havent found any actual documentation on how to do it. The setup is 30 client sites with dynamic IP addresses connecting to one headoffice that has a static IP address. The 30 client sites all have unique RFC 1918 based subnets behind them. The problem is how to do all the setkey business. The client end can find out the ip address its dynamically assigned and then do the appropriate setkey. But the headoffice cannot do the same thing as it has not built in way of knowing what the client endpoint is. I dont want to implement some additional protocol to send the HQ saying, "Hi, I am IP address xxx, please contruct your setkey accordingly" as it would be a security issue if not thought out correctly. These are all very remote sites, so analog dialup is the only connection available. Any pointers would be great. Currently we are using mpd to dialup and then tunnel across the mpd tunnel, but there is a resource leak somewhere in doing this.

Boot problems with SCSI card
Hi, I can't boot my FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE (both with the stock kernel and with a self-compiled kernel), if my AdvanSys SCSI Host Adapter (ISA, ABP5140) is installed. The problem was also there while installing FreeBSD, but I simply removed the SCSI card during the installation. Without the card everything works perfectly. Here is some output during the boot process: (I had to type it off the screen, because it got never written to disk. Anybody got a solution for this?) [...] adv1: AdvanSys SCSI Host Adapter, SCSI ID 7, queue depth 16 adv1: at port 0x110 iomem 0xc8000-0xc irq 10 drq 5 on isa0 [...] Waiting 10 seconds for SCSI devices to settle [After about 1 minute] (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Timed out (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Attempting abort (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Timed out (probe6:adv1:0:6:0): Resetting bus adv1: No longer in timeout [After about another minute] (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Timed out (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Attempting abort (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Timed out (probe5:adv1:0:5:0): Resetting bus adv1: No longer in timeout After that output I waited about half an hour (!) and nothing happened. I don't think that it makes sense to wait any longer. There is only one SCSI drive attached to the SCSI card: An internal Yamaha CD-Writer (4416). Its SCSI ID is 3. Changing the ID just results in a slightly different output. For example if I change it to 6, the output is about timeouts on ID 3 and 5, instead of 6 and 5. With Writer on 4 the output is about ID 3 and 2. And so on. I tried every SCSI ID, but none works. The SCSI termination is also configured correctly. But I don't think that this is a hardware related problem, because the same hardware configuration worked perfectly under Linux. (And some time ago it worked under Windows.) Any ideas?

Hi, We have a 2400A in a heavily loaded 'backup' machine at the office (i.e. lots of large IDE drives, storing backups from all the other machines until they're spooled to tape) - it's often gzip'ing and storing the data from several machines simultaneously, all across a 100Mbit LAN.

Re: Adaptec 2400A update
I also have an Adaptec 2400A RAID controller and have problems when my system seems to be having a lot of random hard disk accesses. I upgraded the cache on the card to 128MB of Adaptec's preffered memory in hopes that the issue would subside, but it did not. I changed the write cache from write back to write through to see if there might be an issue with that. I upgraded to the latest I2O and SMOR. None of these seemed to work. My System will actually freeze when: * transferring data from a cd/dvd to harddisk and performing compression. (happens to be when I get the most disk access) - probability of freezing goes up drastically when I do something else at the same time that is hard disk intensive. eg: backing up data off a dvd/cd & portupgrade -via & listening to mp3's streaming off of my localhost For a while I've thought that it could be my system over heating. But when my machine overheats it just powers off abruptly. The freezing during high activity `seems` unrelated to heat. [ these abrupt power offs seem to have subsided since I got new heat syncs and got my AC fixed at my apartment :-D (DUH) LOL ] [ I am in the process of switching to water cooled ... as it is known that athlons run hot.. ] Something else that appears to be out of place (but i'm not sure) is that d0b3t0d0 always has a max speed of 10MHz no matter what drive I place there while all the others have a max speed of 50MHz. I have been searching the groups and mail archives for almost a year now. I can only find posts with similar problems but no resolution. Your post appears to be closer to my problems than others. There seems to be a small handful of ppl who have mentioned this problem. Maybe a bad batch of cards went out? or... the problem isn't frequent enough for some ppl to attribute it to a real problem? Or it could be the driver... I have no idea. I remember having all sorts of problems when I oringally wanted to put an OS on this machine and I didn't have a stable install until I set the cache to write- through (which for some reason is recommended for OS installs). Then afterwards I set the cache back to write-back (which was recommended any other time). ( from docs I have read scattered in remote places ) It appears we are not alone in our issue with the 2400A. Way below is a moderately detailed description about my system and highly detailed description about my 2400A. if you managed to read through my ramblings. Thanks!

Newbie problems with X11, Xf86
I installed X-Free86 - 4.2.0_1,1 from my Free BSD Cd using sysinstall and cannot get it to run. I see the directory X11R6 under /usr, I run 'xf86config' and it says 'command not found'. I typed 'XFree86 -configure' and it also says 'command not found'. I've looked for a file called /etc/X11/XFree86Config and it says 'No such file or directory'. I went back through sysinstall and reinstalled the X11 packages including XFree86-4.2.0 and still I get the above results. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong, this is becoming frustrating.

One more try at Frontpage Extensions, then I'll shut up
I am running 4.7 stable. I deinstalled mod_frontpage and apache13-fp. Was told I don't need both. Made sure the directories were removed, etc. cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-fp. make clean. Then make So far so good. make install, and it errors saying that frontpage 5.whatever is already installed. Tells to do a deinstall, etc. I have already done those steps, so I did a FORCE_PKG_REGISTER. make install and it runs to completion and automatically runs fp_install.sh. I answer the questions (don't setup any sub/user webs, no virtual hosts). Success at this stage. Launch Frontpage 2000 and try and publish a site. It says the server is not running frontpage extensions and I can't use http and must use ftp. I am well aware of the problems with fp extensions, etc. I have lost the battle with the VP of the company, and it is on our internal website which is not accessible from the internet. any help very appreciated, thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The default httpd.conf contains a: Listen 80 directive, which will cause apache to bind to all available interfaces and listen on port 80. You probably need to change that.

The problem is with the doubleclick.net DNS servers which incorrectly fail to respond at all to queries for resource record types they don't know about. That means you have to sit and wait until the request times out, which takes something like 30s. The bbc.com web servers do the right thing, which is to send a negative response, and all in under 150 ms as you can see. Now, the RFC defining the resource record was published nearly 10 years ago, so there is really absolutely no excuse for doubleclick.net to be running anything so broken. However, if you're running a webserver using the Mozilla engine, the simple response is to right-click on the advert and select "block images from this server". Note that there will be no problem resolving those names using host(1) as that does an A lookup (IPv4) by default. Try: % host -t ad.ca.doubleclick.net At this point you're maybe asking what a record is and why your web browser should be trying to look one up. The answer is that is the IPv6 equivalent of an A record: ie. it returns the IPv6 IP number corresponding to the hostname. The reason that Mozilla is doing an IPv6 lookup is that that is what the standards say to do nowadays: see getaddrinfo(3), RFC 2553 and http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/getaddrinfo.html (You may need to register in order to see that web page). Cheers, Matthew PS. The irony of it all is that resource records are themselves probably going to be phased out in favour of the A6 resource type in the not to distant future, which does essentially the same job, but has various other advantages beyond the scope of this e-mail to go into.
