Updating SSH, patch failed?

[Scott Schappell]

Greetings:

I ran the patch process exactly as listed in the advisory.  I'm currently
running 4.8p3 built from source.

After running the instructions verbatim, sshd shows the following version
string:

OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030201, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f

Also the command to restart sshd gives me an error:

arthur# (. /etc/rc.conf && ${sshd_program:-/usr/sbin/sshd} ${sshd_flags})
Bad : modifier in $ (-).

Is my ssh patched? Or should I remake the world?

Thanks for the help!

As of today, the CVS includes the patch for OpenSSH that fixes the
vulnerability.  Yes, it still says version 3.6.1, but if you read on,
it has a patch date of 20030916.

Logging of sftp-server - how to...

[Nikolay]

Hello everybody,

  Ask helps on the question of sftp-server logs.
  I have FreeBSD 4,8 and want to get full logs of operations which users make,
  such as mkdir, cp and etc. In daemon ftpd are used keys -l -l,
  but in SFTP I find nothing like that.
  Thank you for attention, and sorry for my bad english :).

On 5.x, try commenting out the opie lines in /etc/pam.d/ssh.  On 4.x,
try adding "ChallengeResponseAuthentication No" to your ssh config
file.  This may work on 5 too.

Re: pptp and ppp

OK, I have some additional information from TCPDUMP and I'm not really 
sure what I am being told.

Here is part of the output from tcpdump.

From what I can tell, I am connecting to the pptp server correctly, and 
the routes are being established, but I am unable to connect to any 
services on the remote network, or ping any hosts.

Please let me know what additional information might be helpful

I would not blame the software so quickly.  We run imap-uw on very
heavily loaded boxes and rarely see problems with it.  Sure it's
not the fastest but minutes of wait?  No.  I would suggest looking
at:

1) DNS issues (resolution issues)
2) If it's login related checking into PAM issues (DB issues)
3) Check network problems (Duplex mismatch? Congestion?)
4) Check hardware problems (Disk especially)

Recreating a software raid 0+1

[Lauren Martinez]

Hello All,

I am unsure where to post this.

I have a Maxtor Nas 4000 w/4 drives. It recently took a dive for the worse, maxtor 
gives no support, except to try to mount it. I tried and was unsuccessful, i 
consitantly get super block erros.

I was able to get this from Maxtor:

1. os = freebsd 2.05.3068

2. IDE software raid (OS) 0+1

 

I am unable to mount the drives for partitions, except where the OS lays. The rest are 
superblock errors. I don't know if I need (and how) to recreate the software raid on a 
new install of freebsd5.

Please help!

no. 2 thru 4 and book "The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey 3rd edition

3rd button mouse emulation in VirtualPC (6.1)

[Barry C . Hawkins]

List,
	Is anyone else running FreeBSD on VirtualPC 6.1?  I have a 5.1 
instance where I am using fluxbox, and would love to know the modifier 
key for emulating the middle mouse button so that I can tab windows 
together.  With single-button Mac mice, the Ctrl key is the modifier 
for the right mouse button, but I have yet to discover that third 
button.  Now that Microsoft owns the product, my hopes of finding out 
info from the vendor have significantly dwindled.

Re: Upgrading sshd?

[Dragoncrest]

Silly question.  Been trying to update my code today and all I can 
seem to update to is 3.6.1, yet I've seen other distros with 3.7.1p1 
already.  I think the openssh website also has 3.7.1p1 on it 
too.  Obviously the ports tree has gotta catch up, but does anyone know 
when it will?  For right now I can live with just shutting off access to 
ssh for now, but I'd like to upgrade to the 3.7.1p1 as soon as it's 
available for Freebsd.

Right.  openssh is part of the base system, and not normally installed
as a package.  There is a security advisory newly out on the usual
FreeBSD mailing lists, and it gives instructions on fixing just this
one problem, but it's probably better to update the whole system when
you get a chance.  [Note that this vulnerability does *not* give
attackers an opportunity to run their code on your system.]

Whichever kernel is specified as "kernel" will be loaded by default unless
you specify otherwise at the boot prompt.  If you have built multiple
kernels and need to verify which is the current default, uname -a will
identify which source was used. I think kernel.GENERIC is included by
default with each release to make sure you have a bootable kernel in the
event of problems with one you have compiled yourself and can be moved or
deleted if you are using the default anyways.

Then it hangs here.  

I also tried using device sbc0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 6 drq 1 flags 0x15 but 
it wouldn't compile.  Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Retry2: Problem with boot/loader I can't seem to solve. Ideas anyone?

[Frank Masolijn]

L.S.

For about a week now I've been trying unsuccesfully to solve the problem
below.

My machine was installed with 4.8-Release.
The problem started after compiling and installing a new kernel to replace
kernel.GENERIC

What happens is:

The system starts.
Detects the AH2940 SCSI controller.
The controller detects 3 devices.
-SCSI ID#2 CDROM
-SCSI ID#1 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x80 (probably recognized later as da1)
-SCSI ID#0 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x81 (probably recognized later as da0)

It then starts boot0 and shows the boot0 selection-screen.
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

Default: F1

-Choosing F5 results in errors since that one isn't bootable.
-Choosing F1 (in my opinion the correct one) yields the following.

Having choosen something at boot0 the system continues.
At this point it should be able to find /boot.config, but as I'll later show
it apparently ignores it.

It then shows the boot2 screen.
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:

At this point I've tried entering the following things.
X:da(Y,a)/Z with
-X anywhere between 0 and 5.
-Y anywhere between 0 and 2.
-Z either /kernel or /boot/loader.

The following options allowed a continued boot.
1:da(0,a)/kernel
1:da(1,a)/kernel
1:da(2,a)/kernel
1:da(0,a)/boot/loader
1:da(1,a)/boot/loader
1:da(2,a)/boot/loader

All the others didn't work.

Having discovered the correct input I assumed putting the same into
/boot.config would solve the problem and would ensure I wouldn't have to
fill it in manually every time the system boots
(this is not practial sincec the system neither has a viewscreen or a
keyboard) this however isn't the case. Whatever I fill in into /boot.config
the result remains the same. The system tries to boot
tells me twice "Invalid partition' followed by "Can't find /kernel".

I've reinstalled boot0, boot1 and boot2 to no effect. Reïnstalling FreeBSD
from scratch and making another kernel resulted in the same problem.

My guts tell me the problems lies in boot0 or boot1's apparent inabillity to
execute the correct value specified in /boot.config but I can't find any
cause for this.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem or where to find
additional documentation since I can't find enough information in the
Handbook to determine whether the problem indeed lies in the system's
inabillity to find /boot.config?

Thanks in advance,

Frank Masolijn

required. (If somethings missing please mail me.)

rcNG and rc.diskless2

[Sean Hafeez]

i am using rc.diskless2 to have a system that runs from read-only 
flash. is there an equally simple method in 5.x?

i am reading the whitepaper on rcNG but i do not see it.

Courier only uses the Maildir format, and UM does not (mbox format), so
they are incompatible.  You have to decide which way you want to go. If
you decide on Maildir format, please also try Bincimap. It is 1000s of
lines shorter than Courier, very fast. I use it in FBSD 4.8 now.

The option vsmap is asking for an image browser.  The program need not
necessarily cache thumbnails on the hard disk.  Perhaps this is a wish list
item for xv developers or a sign to shop for other alternatives.

All I ever wanted was a file explorer similar to Microsoft Explorer
(latest) or ACDSee32 (www.acdsystems.com I think).  In Unix.  Too much to ask?

Re: Rebuilding the Kernel

[chael]

If you just need to rebuild your kernel, edit the config file and do only
this command under /usr/src/ dir:

make buildkernel installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernel

That's all. :-P

Re: PNP Crystal soundcard detection problem in 5.1Release

I got a deal on a refurbished model with a 3 year international 
warranty from Dell when I was living in the U.S.  It has been a
workhorse for me for years now. 

I can't be sure now, but I'm fairly certain I had sound 
working when I installed 5.1-RELEASE. I then 
upgraded to current to support my 54g (Atheros) wireless card.

I don't have my laptop with me right now, but I'm fairly 
sure I am running the A12 bios also.

I will do a verbose boot when I get home again (where my
laptop is) and check what mine says.

Mine is enabled (I just ignore the initial error messages).
I don't know whether this has any effect on the PNP devices.

I will need to check. Note however, that my detection message from
dmesg (see my first email) says:

sbc0:  at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 on isa0

so you might want to change hint.pcm.0.flags. I don't know if 
you also need hints for the sbc device?

I have at various times a mouse, external display, pcmcia modem, 
Trendnet ethernet card (also rl0). Nothing seems to affect the sound.

Certainly I can do that as well as check other the other things I noted

Re: Patching Openssh on 4.9 PRERELEASE

[FreeBSD Mail Lists]

David;

You need to edit version.h within
/usr/src/crypto/openssh/version.h

and change the FreeBSD-20030201
to be FreeBSD-20030916.

The patch doesnt update the date.
Only patches the security issue.

pptp and ppp

[Jay Hall]

I have a FreeBSD server in one of the smaller offices I support using
ppp and nat to provide an Internet connection to the people in the
office.  Now, they want to connect to the corporate network using pptp.
My plan here is to simply connect the FreeBSD box to the corporate
network using pptp and then allow the clients to use the FreeBSD box as
their gateway to the corporate network.
I am able to connect to the VPN using the pptpclient port without any
problems.  However, from the FreeBSD box, I am only able to ping the IP
address assigned to tun1 (created by the VPN).  The routes appear to be
correct.
Following is the output of netstat -rn

These errors occur whenever I try to access something on the remote

 I'm sure this is something simple that I have overlooked.

I believe that's mostly it, but there are smaller steps that may be
important inbetween, like doing `chflags' on /usr/obj/*
before removing
the files - all this is in the manual, though.  The steps outlined
above are in the handbook - in that order.  Take another look at the
handbook and if you still have problem reply with specific issues.
Here's a real good article.
http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=21
# cd /usr/obj

# chflags -R noschg *

# rm -rf *

One other step between removing the old /usr/obj and making buildworld:

# mergemaster -p

``Invalid partition table'' with two FreeBSD slices.

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

I've tried to add a second slice to my disk and now the system won't
boot.  I get ``Invalid partition table'' just after the POST.  I can't
quite understand why, because before I did this I had ad0s1, which
booted fine.  After that there was lots of free space.

  I added ad0s2 from a bootable mini CD -- I made it use all the
available space at the end of the disk.  I wrote the partition table and
selected to install the standard bootcode (not the boot0cfg-style one).
I didn't write any bsdlabel stuff.

  Any ideas?  I'm quite confused.

Until there is a Broadcom driver which is what LinkSys uses or
anything that has that 54g with a red circle on it on the box, those are
all using 802.11g chipsets from Broadcom.  You would be better off with
the supported NetGear or D-Link 802.11g cards using Atheros chipsets as
those are supported.

Patching Openssh on 4.9 PRERELEASE

[David Wagenheim]

The other day I cvsup'd using the stable supfile, did
buildworld, installworld and built and installed a new
kernel.  All of that went fine and I now have a
4.9-PRERELEASE box.

Today, I went to patch OpenSSH and I did:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /root/buffer46.patch
# cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh
# make clean
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd
# make clean
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/ssh
# make clean
# make depend && make all install

Everything went fine but when I checked the version of
the newly built sshd, it said:

sshd Version OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030201

but according to the advisory, for 4.8, it should be:

OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030916

(For all versions of FreeBSD mentioned in the
advisory, the version # of OpenSSH reflects 20030916,
so I assume mine should as well).

Now I know that I don't have 4.8 but rather 4.9, but
does the fact that the version number doesn't reflect
September 16 mean that there currently isn't a way to
update sshd on a 4.9 system?

If it is helpful, output from uname -a is:

FreeBSD db.mydomain.com 4.9-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Sep 14
17:38:58 EST 2003
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

David

xmms - couldn't open audio - 5.1-RELEASE

[Nathan Kinkade]

I upgraded to 5.1-RELEASE a few days ago and everything has been fine
except for an annoying problem with XMMS.  Seemingly random, XMMS will
throw up a message "Couldn't open audio" as it transitions from one song
to the next.  I have tried deinstalling and then reinstalling XMMS.  I
have also tried closing all other X applications.  I saw some posts
online about changing the OSS driver to use dspW0.x instead of just dsp,
but this didn't help either.  I have tried `fstat | grep dsp', but
nothing has control of that file when I'm having the problem.  The
problem goes away as randomly as it came.  If I repeatedly hit the play
button, eventually it will play the song.  Sometimes I could press the
play button only once, sometimes 15 times before it starts working.
Sometimes I just wait a minute or two and it let's me play the next song.
There is no discernable pattern to when it will fail - here i plays 10
songs before failing, now it plays 1 song before failing, now 3 songs
before failing.

Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on what to do?

Thanks,
Nathan

I believe that's mostly it, but there are smaller steps that may be

You can install the source code from the FreeBSD installation cd (or
install it over FTP) - just use /stand/sysinstall and choose
'Configure', then 'Distributions' - scroll down to 'src' and select the
sources you want to install (install All to be sure).

The string 'atapicam' does not appear in my
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM customized kernel config file.  Is that
what you meant?  I did find that string in LINT, but I'm not using it.

I may have misled you in my post.  What I should have said is, the
system hangs for about 20 seconds at the BIOS drive detection, and then
there is another 20 second delay when FBSD is detecting devices, *after*
it displays the line about finding the atapi controller.  It displays
that line concerning the atapi controller, issues 2 cr/lf and pauses for
that 20 seconds.  It then continues to load without error, all devices
are detected properly and I can read and write to them.

I really think this delay may be more related to hardware than software.
I just booted the system to an MS-DOS diskette, and the delay is still
there.  I have no special settings in BIOS.

BTW: I've also posted this to alt.comp.hardware.  No joy yet.

How can I add /usr/src/secure to a system ?

[Josh Brooks]

Ok, my /usr/src is totally empty - nothing in there at all.

I would like to follow these instructions from the latest openSSH
FreeBSD-SA:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/sshd.patch
# cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/ssh
# make depend && make all install

So, presumably I need to add /usr/src/secure to the system.  What is the
easiest way to do this ?  Can I use cvsup to just add that directory to
/usr/src ?

Also, after doing this, I am told to:

Be sure to restart `sshd' after updating.

# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
# (. /etc/rc.conf && ${sshd_program:-/usr/bin/sshd} ${sshd_flags})

Can anyone confirm that that will not lock me out ?  Will my connection
die and I have to reconnect ?

thanks.

Have you looked into cvsup?  It will allow you to download changes in source 
code, then recompile the base system whenever it's convenient for you.  I 
usually cvsup to STABLE every other week or so; although you may be more 
interested in SECURITY.  I "make world" when security issues or new features 
warrant it.  On my Athlon Thunderbird 900 (1.5GB RAM), it takes about 50 
minutes to recompile the base system and 10 minutes to recompile the kernel.

Right.  openssh is part of the base system, and not normally installed
as a package.  There is a security advisory newly out on the usual
FreeBSD mailing lists, and it gives instructions on fixing just this
one problem, but it's probably better to update the whole system when
you get a chance.  [Note that this vulnerability does *not* give
attackers an opportunity to run their code on your system.]

issues (sendmail, openssh, realpath, etc.) that have been discovered
since the 4.8-RELEASE.  However, I fail to do so. I've searched the
online documentation but not found what I need, except that I should
run sysinstall->upgrade.
I was a bit quick I think in just backing up and then running the
upgrade, so I got to the same point I was before. Then I discovered
that the Release Name under options could be used. So, I changed this
to RELENG_4_8 and none of the servers could find that release. I tried
4.8-RELEASE-p4 (and -p5). Again, none of the servers had that release.
This is what I cannot find in the documentation. What do you enter in
the Release Name option?
Then again, I might just wait for the 4.9 to come in a few weeks time,
but would then face the same situation again I assume.
I also browsed some of the ftp sites in order to find any hints on
naming conventions, but failed...
Any help would be much appreciated. I'd rather not upgrade from source.

Thanks,
 Kjell

Are you using ATAPICAM?  If so, it's probably the SCSI settling.
That's adjustable in the kernel configuration.

If I recall correctly, cdda2wav should tell you in the error message.

There's a FreeBSD Security Advisory out that gives explicit details
on how to implement a fix for OpenSSH running as part of the core
system:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03%3A12.openssh.asc

There seems to be a typo in one line; in the section on restarting sshd

(. /etc/rc.conf && ${sshd_program:-/usr/bin/sshd} ${sshd_flags})
^

should I think be sbin.

Re: Upgrading sshd?

[Dragoncrest]

What I had to do to make this work was build OpenSSH 3.6.1 by 
hand, install it which puts it in /usr/local/sbin/sshd then test it.  I 
fired up the new one on port 2000 and tested it there.  When I could prove 
that worked I killed the process running on port 22, copied sshd to 
sshd.3.5p1 (just in case something goes bad you still have the old version) 
then copied sshd from /usr/local/sbin/ to /usr/sbin/, restarted the sshd on 
port 22, then tested that.  Once I was happy that all was working right I 
killed the one on port 2000 and I was all set.  Seemed to work like a charm.

Maybe a little overly cautious on my part, but since I was doing 
the upgrade via ssh I didn't feel like cutting myself off by accident then 
having to drive 30 miles into work to console in and fix the 
problem.  Believe me, I've done it before.  :)

If you "ls -l / | grep kernel", you'll notice that kernel and kernel.GENERIC
are identical in size. If you were to ever build a new kernel, your current

kernel.GENERIC around.  I guess this is pretty trivial now that you've

Re: Slow NAT firewall

[Lay Tay]

Hello,

Thanks.  You're right, Raphael replied and was right-on.  My sshd was doing
reverse DNS lookup and my firewall was preventing that.  I used the "-u0"
option in the sshd startup and the problem went away.

Sounds a lot like a DNS timeout.  I'm not sure your rules for port 53 are
doing
exactly the right thing; where does DNS traffic go when you do this SSH
connection?

Are you sure you downloaded all of the dependencies?  Try using pkg_add with 
the ftp address, path and package name instead of using the packages on your 
local hard drive.  Then pkg_add can pull the dependencies from the ftp site.

Best of luck,

Have not tried newsyslog, as the scripts rotate them automatically.. will

Then multiple that by another 10 for each process... SMTP, SEND, DNSCACHE,
RBL1 RBL, IMAPS, etc... 10 logs are kept for each process, and there are
10 different processes which usually takes a day to 1 1/2 days to fully
rotate out.

MM> Do you have anything hanging around in /root?

Root is only 384K...

I just found it, thanks to Viktor Lazlo who suggested I use the du command... I
found that 40658 of the 128990 1k blocks used, is being used by my
IMAPS server which has its bin, doc, and man dirs under /opt

This is the culprit... I can now move that out and link it... as a
shortcut.. When I build from source, I did not notice where it went... I
could have changed it then... A lesson for me...

Thanks for all your help...

Re: Rebuilding the Kernel

Hi all,

So I can get it right in my head (now there's a challenge).  The correct 
steps for building a custom kernel is:

  1) update sources
  2) rm -rf /usr/obj/*
  3) make buildworld
  4) edit kernel config file
  5) make buildkernel
  6) make installkernel
  7) reboot
  8) make installworld
  9) mergemaster
Many Thanks

Controller(s) for 16 IDE hard disk server

[Michael Haro]

I want to setup a FreeBSD server with a 16-24 200+-GB IDE drives for an FTP
server.  We currently have one using two old 3ware 6xxx cards.  Does anyone
know of any cards (that are still made - I'm not allowed to use used stuff)
that would for this task that are supported by FreeBSD?  I don't see support
for the 75xx or 85xx cards 3ware cards.  I also don't care if we use 3ware
or some other manufacturer, but I don't know who else makes IDE controllers
that support at least 8 drives per card and work with FreeBSD.

Also, if there is a better list for me to ask this question on, please let
me know.

so you go to your site and get the stable packages and put them on the hard drive.
you go to that folder and do a pkg_add * to add all the packages in the x11 directory,
thinking this will get you a GUI but it throws a bunch of package not found errors and
nothing works.
what did i do wrong and what do i do next cause this isnt covered in the manual

More than likely, this is a DNS-related problem. Might be handy to

What version of FreeBSD?

SSH problem, delay ---??? How to fix?

[Alex Zivenko]

Hi!
When I am trying to connect to my FreeBSD server, I have a problem. It's not a very 
big problem, but I want to fix it anyway. When I'm connecting to my FreeBSD machine I 
have a big delay. It's very strange, when I'm working all is great, I have delay only 
when I'm connecting, it gives me the paswword string in 40 seconds...
What the problem?

Regards,
Alex Zivenko

ad2, rather.  Assuming that you use the ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option,
ATA drives will be numbered like this:

ad0 primary master
ad1 primary slave
ad2 secondary master
ad3 secondary slave
...

When I've made those sorts of changes, I've only ever had to change
fstab and my scripts that run dump(8).

The usb manual (do you know, you're the first person who's even so much
as hinted that such a thing exists!) tells me that the uhub device is
present by default. "device uhub" in my kernel config file rendered it
uncompilable.

The umass manual hinted that "device pass" was needed, but that didn't
fix the problem. Nor did running usbd before plugging the USB stick in.

Unless you're specifying it at boot, you can safely remove kernel.GENERIC.

I run postfix and BIND, so I'm not particularly familiar with those
packages. I would think that there's some facility in those programs to
specify a more appropriate place (like /var/log). Alternatively, if your
logs are rotated by newsyslog, you could keep fewer log files and/or use
bzip2 compression on the old ones. If not, you could write a shell script to
accomplish the same thing. bzip2 gets my 500K maillogs down to ~35K, and I
also keep 10 of them, so the savings is significant.

The problem I have with this is 250K*10 and 100K*10 only adds up to 3.5M,
hardly enough to take up the remainder of your partition. Do you have
anything hanging around in /root?

Good question. This is a production Mail / DNS server (using qmail and
djbdns), so I have logs in /etc (by the default run script) minimally at
100K each x10 (before they rotate out) for each of SMTP, SEND, another
SMTP, axfrdns, tinydns, dnscache, 2 rbls, and maybe one more... the SMTP
and SEND logs are at 250k each of 10... so you see how this can add up...

I am hoping that I will have seen just about the end of the bloating /

Upgrading sshd?

[Johan Paul]

Hi all,

Refering to the latest sshd vurnability 
(http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/16/1327248.shtml?tid=126&tid=172) I 
was thinking of upgradeing my sshd as well. So I cvsup'ed my system 
(FBSD 4.8) and there seems to be a updated file for sshd. But how do I 
upgrade sshd safly since when I type 'pkg_info |grep ssh' it return no 
packages. I guess sshd is included somehow by the default install (??) 
but how can I now upgrade it? I was thinking of portupgrade, but it 
needs a package to upgrade...

Thanks!

The more usual culprit is /root if you have been using the superuser
account to access things better suited to a normal user.  Logfiles
normally go to /var rather than /etc, which mostly contains configuration
files and startup scripts.  du is your friend in this situation.

I don't think you should do this.  In single-user mode, I don't think /usr 
would be mounted; so the system wouln't have access to /usr/etc until you

And yet another problem is that ssh needs /dev/[u]random.
Try mounting devfs in the jail's /dev and see if it works for you.
The error message is something along the line of "PRNG not

I don't have a direct answer to this question, but a bit of
information:

Last weekend I bought a couple of 802.11b/g wireless routers (AirLink,
I think).  These boxes contain an access point, a four-port Ethernet
switch and an additional downlink Ethernet port.  They're intended as
cable or ADSL gateways, accessed by the downlink port.  You can
configure the downlink port to access the other networks by NAT or
directly, and you can run a mini-firewall if you want.  It can also
function as a DHCP server.  These boxes cost me $80 at Fry's, the same
price as a basic 802.11b access point.

This weekend I went back to Fry's looking for Atheros-based wireless
cards.  The cheapest I could find cost $100.

Based on that, it's not clear why you would want to build an AP from a
wireless card.

Re[2]: PNP Crystal soundcard detection problem in 5.1Release

I have the very same model! 5.1-RELEASE could problem be here?

I've updated my FlashBIOS from A03 to version A12 (from DELL website),
I've added to the end of config-file

 device pcm
 device sbc

And still nothing :
-bash-2.05b$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:

Verbose booting keeps giving:
...
unknown:  can't assign resources (port)
unknown:  at port 0x378-0x37f on isa0
unknown:  can't assign resources (irq)
unknown:  at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x530-0x537 irq 5 on isa0
unknown:  failed to probe at port 0x210-0x217 on isa0
unknown:  can't assign resources (port)
unknown:  at port 0x3f2-0x3f5 on isa0
...

I have ACPI disabled,
In /boot/devices.hints:
...
hint.pcm.0.at="isa"
hint.pcm.0.irq="5"
hint.pcm.0.drq="1"
hint.pcm.0.flags="0x0"

The only additional hardware I have installed is PS/2 mouse and
Surecom PCMCIA Ethernet adapter (model ep428x, which is detected as
rl0)



p.s. maybe you will consider possible sharing you kernel configuration
file and maybe BIOS settings, coz we have same model and its even more
strange that its not working.

Vinum and SoftUpdates

[bsd]

Hi folks. 

I have a few boxes which have recently begun to behave rather badly - 
frequent panics and lots of errors being spewed out during fsck on reboot.  
I note that these particular boxes have one thing in common - they have 
vinum devices which are also mounted with softupdates enabled. 

Is this OK?  I have not been able to find any mention of softupdates in the 
vinum man pages. 

Thanks for any pointers. 

Regards,
Patrick.

Re: /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install

[Jeff MacDonald]

Fair enough, I did a complete make buildworld/installworld,
and I still cannot use my ports properly, any other suggestions ?

This is not a mission critical install, so i could just re-install
as i see a few ppl on the mailing lists have done, but i would rather
not have to do this.

Jeff.
