The relevant info in the logs is  that the device does not recognize the
« Synchronize cache »  command.  You may want to add a  « kernel quirk »
in scsi_da.c, it  consists of adding an entry for  your memory stick and
telling that it does not support that command.

You can use the  following PR as a model for chaning  the kernel, it's a
PR I wrote for my own memory stick:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/54786

But first, be sure to upgrade  your system to the latest current FreeBSD
sources (checkout  HEAD).  Most quirks are  now no more needed  due to a
recent refactoring of USB mass storage drivers.

RE: KDM and FreeBSD?

[John Smith]

Check chapter 5.7.3.1 of the FreeBSD Handbook.  kdm is relatively easy
to setup.  GDM's setup is more work or at least the method I found on
the net was.  Maybe there's an easier way.  I actually find GDM to be
more aesthetically appealing than kdm, even though I don't really like

Does FreeBSD support USB Wireless Adapter ?

[Michael Lee]

Hi,
I use Gemtek WL-382F USB Wireless Adapter.
I've set the options for USB and wireless ethernet and recompiled the
kernel.
While plugging in the USB Wireless Adapter, it shows:

ugen0: Atmel product 0x7605, rev.1.10/1.00, addr 2

I noticed that the Handbook ( chap. 19.3 ) only mentioned for PCMCIA
wireless ethernet adapter. However, I wonder if FreeBSD does support USB
Wireless Adapter.

Of course I failed to find any wi0 devices while typing ifconfig -a

Any suggestion ?

Thank you!

Hi Daniel,

I have used LiveCD with great success. The site is here: 
http://livecd.sourceforge.net/
The only problem I have encountered while using LiveCD is that the 
initial keyboard mapping is not for a US
keyboard, which I solved with the following command ...

kbdcontrol -l ../usr/share/syscons/keyboards/us.iso.kbd ( the / can be 
found above the 8 key on your number pad
for a standard US based keyboard. You can also use tab completion 
..(tab) etc .., does that make sense? )

Ofcourse, you would substitute whatever keyboard map that works for you :).

Have fun,
Thanatos

It might be noted that 'make deinstall' (with or without clean/distclean) 
doesn't unregister the port; you still have to use pkg_delete for that. The 
'make deinstall' rule for ports seems to be more for upgrading than for 
actual deletion. (Witness the fact that, for pkg_delete, you have to specify 
a force option to remove a package that has dependencies, but make deinstall 
warns you and removes it anyway.) Too, you can't make deinstall if you've 
already made clean.

The portupgrade package does include a number of nice utilities, though, that 
manage packages a little better than the default, it seems.

You can easily set this to your own CPU type in /etc/make.conf for all the  
ports you build.  "Packages" in FreeBSD are precompiled binaries, and I  
wouldn't know the answer for those.

Problem with libtcl8.3 on FBSD 5.1

[soneill]

I've recently installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my Athlon-based machine, and most
everything seems to be working ok. However, I have a problem trying to run
any s/w that uses the Tcl library libtcl8.3.so.1. Whenver I run such a
program, including wish8.3, tkdesk, tkman and others, I get the following
error message:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libtcl83.so.1: Undefined \
symbol "__xuname"

I have no idea why I would have such an undefined symbol in an officially
ported FBSD package. Can anyone give me some insight into this problem, and
a possible solution? TIA for any help you can give me.

A new install is usually considered to involve fewer problems than
upgrading across major versions.  Others will be able to give you more
detail than I can about what's involved in such an upgrade.  Upgrading
within or across minor versions (make world and recompile kernel) is
something I and many others do as a matter of routine every week or two
(some folks have it automated).
Can packages and their dependencies be removed through a package that

There are several ways you can do this.  There's pkg_delete for packages,
'make deinstall clean' for ports, and for deleting an older version of a
port to replace it with a newer one, there's the intelligent and lovely
'portupgrade.'  (The upgrade can be for one port, that port plus all

Re: Setting fetch URIs for portupgrade

[Andrew Terekhov]

I am confused regarding where correct packages for 5.1 release are located. It seems that portupgrade is looking for correct names of the latest packages, but they are never located at the right URI. For example,

armada# portupgrade -PP kde
--->  Checking the availability of the latest package of 'x11/kde3'
--->  Fetching the package(s) for 'kde-3.1.4' (x11/kde3)
--->  Fetching kde-3.1.4
fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/kde
-3.1.4.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1
** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-rel
ease/All/kde-3.1.4.tbz
fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/kde
-3.1.4.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1
** Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-rel
ease/All/kde-3.1.4.tgz
** Failed to fetch kde-3.1.4
** The following packages were not downloaded (*:skipped / !:failed)
   ! kde-3.1.4 (fetch error)
** No latest link for '' (x11/kde3) -- giving up
** Could not fetch the latest version '3.1.4'
** The package of 'x11/kde3' is not found.
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed)
   ! x11/kde3 (kde-3.1.2)  (package not found)
It looks like kde-3.1.4 is the latest package and it is not found at this (supposedly correct) URI: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All/ 

OTOH I can see that kde-3.1.4 is located at this URI:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/All

This happens to many of packages installed on my system, not only kde.

Can I freely grab all I need from the above URI or I may be getting something compiled for a different platform?

Thanks a lot,
Andrew

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All


Nope, those are the packages for RELENG_4; the 5.x packages are in
packages-5-current.  However fetch is actually doing the right thing
in only fetching from the packages-5.1-release directory on your
5.1-RELEASE, because packages built for newer versions of
FreeBSD-CURRENT are not guaranteed to work on 5.1-RELEASE.

How can I change URIs where fetch is looking for the latest packages? 


See the pkg_add manpage.


Setting PKG_SITES environment variable doesn't have any effect.


Because that's not the right environment variable.

Question about IRQs and SMP

[Allen Landsidel]

Not as complicated a question as one might thing, but I still haven't found 
a way.. so, is there some way I can get tools like systat (systat -vmstat 
1) or vmstat (vmstat -i) that show irq rates to display the "proper" IRQs 
on SMP boxes?

I have several SMP boxes right now, and despite all my manpage digging and 
googling, I can't figure out a way to demux the mux'd IRQ for display 
purposes; It's quite useless to know that "mux irq2" is handling 1k+ 
interrupts/sec when there are several devices actually using that irq..

Sample output:

interrupt   total   rate
mux irq2 51255486416
fdc0 irq6   3  0
clk irq0 12300164 99
rtc irq8 15743621127
Total79299274644
NIC, scsi controller, etc are all contained within the mux I believe, along 
with most everything else on this box from the looks of it.

  prety much all the unix & unix-like systems are more or less same - 
some are somewhat better for particular purposes. if you need fairly

  my point is that evangelizing one of these systems over another is 
somewhat missing the point of unix - interoperability, portability etc.

  e.g. at this point my favourite system is debian linux - but that 
doesn't mean I am not quite happy using freebsd at work... (or solaris 
at previous work... or even sco unix and interactive unix back in times 
when there was no linux or free bsd systems (at least I didn't know of 
any)... or ultrix). it's all the same. one can support more processors, 
one has better driver support, one has extra good security record etc. 
and it changes as these systems evolve...

Nick Holley was right: I have upgraded libSDL to 1.2.6 (see

patch to the joystick code, I can use my USB joystick in SDL programs
(e.g. tuxracer).

Next step: put a similar code in the other toolkits (plib, etc.)...

KDM and FreeBSD?

[Eric F Crist]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Hey all,

I'm a huge nut of the CLI, but my girlfriend is not.  I've gone through a 
bunch of the documentation on 
http://docs.kde.org/en/3.1/kdebase/kdm/Configuring-your-system-for-kdm.html 
and have gotten as far as test whether I can run

grog# kdm -nodeamon

and I get a KDE login screen after a few breif seconds.  Now, how do I 
implement this so that kdm initalizes at boot so my gf can use my FreeBSD 
system without having to type what is, in her words, some "arcane fucking 
command from the old world of DOS."  I'm working on getting her to come to 
the enlightened side, but all she reallys cares to do is surf joke web pages

Not only that,  it would be good to know so I can convince some of my friends,

   Mandrake: I installed it few times about 6 months to 1 year ago and I

There are always changes to the configuration files in /etc as part of
the ongoing development of FreeBSD.  One of the upgrade steps is to
run the mergemaster utility, which lets you merge in these changes
into your existing configuration files.  Please read the associated
documentation, and remember to make a full backup before attempting

Folks,

I just encountered this same thing this morning.  I found no posted answer
to Williams problem, so I'm posting this:


Check to see if:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

Exists.  In my case, it did not.  I manually copied it from the ports
source tree:

cp /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-documents/work/xc/lib/X11/XKeysymDB \
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/


And the next time I started X, the keyboard behaved!

I found the idea here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06702.html


Note that I used portupgrade to upgrade to 4.3.0.  I don't know why this
file didn't get installed.

I'm not subscribed to questions@, so please cc: me on any replies.

Hi Eric,

What 
I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial 
capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem.
I was talking about a broadband *router* indeed. One WAN ethernet 
interface, 1-4 LAN ethernet interface(s). Which indeed connects to a DSL 
*modem*.

(I wasn't asking BTW, I happen to have a few of these lying around. ;-)

Nico,

The reason I ask was that most DSL providers loan/rent/sell you a DSL router, 
such as the Cisco 675/678, which usually do NOT have a built in switch.  What 
I believe you're asking for is a 'broadband' router with backup dial 
capability, with an interface for your DSL router/bridge/modem.

Am I correct?  If so, I think there was a mix-up in the terminology.

Re: DSL router recommendation

Hi,

1) Why do you need a 100 MB interface?  The fastest DSL I've seen only 
operates  at 7MB, in simplex mode.
100Mbit on the internal network is nice. Most SOHO routers today come 
with a built-in switch.

2) What do you mean by 'DSL router with telephone'?
A router with a ISDN interface for fallback connectivity?


Draytek makes the Vigor series routers. I've used their 2000, 2200E, 
2200X and  2300 models and they all perform well and are easy to 
configure. Nowadays, cheaper routers are to be had, but these often lack 
in configurability and features.

AFAIK, from the 2200 models and up, at least 8 concurrent VPN 
connections can be used.

The firewall configuration smells like IPF to me. ;-)

growing vinum raid 1+0

[Matthew Emmett]

Hello all,

I have a question about vinum.  I'd like to end up with a setup like
this:

  disk1 mirrored with disk2 = mirror1

  disk3 mirrored with disk4 = mirror2

  mirror2 concatenated with mirror1

I understand that this is a RAID 1+0 setup.  I'm pretty sure vinum can
do RAID 1+0.

Now, in the future, will I be able to add two more disks:

  disk5 mirrored with disk6 = mirror3

and concatenate mirror3 with the other mirrors?  And then use growfs
to expand the filesystem?

Thanks, I appreciate any suggestions,
Matt

Strange behavior in Konquer when managing files

[Dragoncrest]

Not sure what to make of this.  But within the past week or so Konquer
has started having a problem where the mouse pointer tends to become
"sticky" when clicking on folders in the left viewing pane.  If I click
on a folder and move the mouse up or down it seems to grab the folder
then try to drag it to wherever my mouse is going.  If I move the mouse
left or right it doesn't do that.  It also doesn't exhibit this behavior
in any other program except Konquer and only when I'm managing files and
only in the left pane where the directory tree is.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?  Also, is there a better graphical
file manager for KDE than Konquer?  It kinda seems to be a bit lacking
in the file management department.  Thanks.

A couple of questions to clarify for the rest of us on what you're looking 
for:

Vsftpd not chown'ing uploads

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I've Googled half the day for a soultion to this, no joy.
I'm CC'ing the author in case no one in the list knows the answer.

I don't want the user 'virtual' to be able to delete the files they
upload.
When 'virtual' uploads a file, it winds up belonging to: virtual wheel,
and he can delete the file.  He cannot delete files in any other
directory.
Virtual is *not* a member of the wheel group.

How can I configure things so that 'virtual' can upload files, see them,
but not delete them?

Details:

I'm using vsftpd-1.2.0 on FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p10.
I've created a symlink in /var called 'ftp' that points to /usr/ftp for
disk space reasons.

Now distributors have moved to an option that supposedly entices
enterprises.  Usually it forces the installations to conform to their
type of networking.
  [conform to their type of networking? what do you mean?]

(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/) to help to solve these problems. I think

it for quite some time))

  still, and this is pretty much for all unix(like) systems - install 
the packages that are part of the distribution only. Anything third

links as appropriate (stow is a great help). That's the only way to keep 
the system manageable, whether it's redhat or freeBSD.

Since you did not post your current configuration, it is difficult to
guess which services etc. you are running.

If you are thinking of applications from packages/ports, then everything
should be you fine with them, since they are not affected by an upgrade.

On the other hand, the step from 4.5 to 4.8 is quite large, so you
should keep good backup just in case anything gets messed.

There are also quite a lot of changes to the base system's configuration
files, should you should read /usr/src/UPDATING _very_ carefully and be
carefull at the mergemaster step (I am assuming you are planning a
source upgrade to RELENG_4_8, a.k.a security branch of FreeBSD 4.8).

If you want to do a binary update, I must admit that I have no
experience with that -- perhaps someone else can share his one with us.

I got a DELL 600SC "server" a while back, not expensive, came with a

controller card.  I've been running them as a couple RAID-5 volumes

I had some problems with drives failing but it appears it was an early

I did, but it is still showing 3.0beta3 

I also tried updating samba-devel with cvs but it is also stuck
at 3.0beta3.

I don't see any nasty problems with it so I guess I'll just do a
portupgrade when it gets to ports.

I like this a lot better.

To answer the inevitable question of "why": PCE counters are a
scarce resource, and the kernel needs to run interference on
their allocation and deallocation by user space applications, to
avoid collisions between applications; this is the same reason
we have AGP and sound card device drivers in the kernel.

I'm not sure if restricting this to root users is exactly
necessary, but it can't hurt, given that there is a performance
denial of service possible otherwise.

This might indicate that your linux_base is not completely
installed. There seems to be a bug (at least, there is on my
computers), where /usr/ports/linux_base coredumps during the
install. I also found the package leaves the same core file, but
doesn't report an error. The only work around for this that I found is
to do the install from single user mode.

This means you need to include options LINUX_COMPAT in your kernal
configuration file. (Thanks to Scott Long who helped me with this a
while back.)

usb audio (uaudio) driver problems

[douglas savitsky]

[this was posted to c.u.b.f.m but received no responses]

Hi, I am trying to get a usb sound card (xitel) to work.  I have had some
success, but also some problems, and i thought someone might be able to
offer solutions.  I am using freebsd 4.8 on 2 different computers.

On one computer (a dell v350 desktop where the sound was already working)
i
plugged the sound card into the usb slot, and it just worked.  on the one
hand, this is great, but on the other it makes it mysterious to me how it
worked.  Further, if i start kde w/ the card plugged in, half way through
startup the computer reboots -- afaik, there are no messages or anything,
simply a reboot.

On a second computer (a toshiba 2515cds laptop) which is the one i
actually
need it to work on, after building sound into the kernel, the card causes
mpg123 to freeze.  ctrl-c does not work, and the only way to do anything
is
to press the power button.

grep pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot

gives a the long message below ...

pcm0:  on uaudio0
pcm0:  at port 0x220-0x22f, 0x530-0x537, 0x388-0x38f,
0x330-0x331, 0x370-0x371, irq 5 drq 1,0 on isa0
pcm0: [repeat of USB line]
pcm1: [repeat of Yamaha line]
pcm0: [repeat of USB line]
pcm1: [repeat of Yamaha line]

So, it seems that there are drivers, but something is amiss in the
configuration.  also, rebooting and freezing are very un-freebsd things,
so
i am a little worried.

Any ideas?

There are several ways that I can think of, PHP, perl, or CGI scripts. If

Any MTA will reject if the headers are not valid, or they should.

Should I install qmail and configure for this task or should I slog

You can use any MTA, the scripts will call the sendmail wrapper, called 
sendmail if it is qmail, replacing the real sendmail wrapper, or you just 
could use Sendmail if that is what you are using currently..

I'm not sure whether the second is illegal or not, but in any case it
doesn't make any sense (so I can't be bothered to look it up).  In
both cases, customStruct is the *structure* tag, not a type name.

If you wanted to use a typedef, it would be more like:

 typedef struct customStruct {
  int RecID;
  char *Name;
 } customType;

tar requires two executions, one to create the
archive and one to remove it.  This has advantages
and disadvantages.  cpio -p  can do it in one pass,
but requires that you expand the directories with
 find  or provide a list file.  Again, sometimes a
good thing, sometimes not.  cpio  can also create a
tree of links if you are on the same file system.
Useful for moving large files with minimal disk
activity (remove the original links afterwards).

Mail Server Questions

[Darryl Hoar]

Greetings,
Here's the situation.
1. I have a LAN behind a freebsd firewall.  The firewall is also doing
nat, as my internal LAN is 192.168.1.*
2. I have dns running on my internal LAN using a dsn name that is
registered by not used outside of our private LAN.
3. I have a freebsd (4-7 stable) machine running Apache and is
   used  to host our internal website and also as a test site for 
   pre-release evaluation of our external website.

Our pre-release evaluation website has forms with email.   I need
to setup email on the apache freebsd server so the email links
work correctly and can be evaluated prior to uploading to the 
external webserver.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this ?  Headers will have to be 
valid or the external mail server will reject.

Should I install qmail and configure for this task or should I slog
through sendmail config ?

thanks for ideas and info,
Darryl

The port itself gave you some instructions when you installed it.  
See the pkg-message in the port's directory if you forgot what it
said.  Also, the port installs its documentation files to (apparently)
/usr/local/share/doc/qmail.

Re: can't get the Linux aaccli to work under 4.8-RELEASE, 4.9-RC1, 5.1-RELEASE

[rysanek]

> I'm not able to make the Linux aaccli work under any recent FreeBSD.

heck, seems like I got it, you need _both_

  options AAC_COMPAT_LINUX

   _and_

  options COMPAT_LINUX

because the linking of aac_linux.o (or whatever it's called) into the
kernel binary is dependent on COMPAT_LINUX - see /usr/src/sys/conf/files.
I guess removing the compat_linux tag from /usr/src/sys/conf/files would
work too.

As a side effect (really the main effect) of COMPAT_LINUX, the linux ABI
apparently becomes statically linked to the kernel, as opposed to modular,
which is the default with the stock install.


I had to find out the hard way. Being a newbie, I use instrumentation
wherever I should really use the kernel debugger. This time, I put several
watches at interesting points in the code - to see where the aac driver
thinks the ioctl handler entry point is and to see if the Linux ABI init
routine finds it in its input chain of ioctl handlers.


compat/linux/linux_ioctl.c:
===
linux_ioctl_register_handler()
{
...
printf("FRR: registering linux ioctl handler at 0x%x\n",
   (unsigned int) h->func);
...
}


dev/aac/aac_linux.c:

/* removed the 'static' keyword */
/*static struct linux_ioctl_handler aac_linux_handler =
{aac_linux_ioctl,*/
struct linux_ioctl_handler aac_linux_handler = {aac_linux_ioctl,
...


dev/aac/aac_pci.c:
==
#include 
extern struct linux_ioctl_handler aac_linux_handler;

aac_pci_attach()
{
...
printf("FRR: the aac linux ioctl handler is at 0x%x\n",
(unsigned int) aac_linux_handler.func);
...
}


Now the linker yelled upon linking - it complained about
"unknown symbol aac_linux_handler".
That's where it started to dawn on me that I should fumble
in the Makefiles and config data.

I got it working a few minutes later.
At least, it works in 4.8. I have yet to test it in different
FreeBSD versions. I have to leave that for tomorrow.

Well, sort of.   FreeBSD itself does not offer any CDs.  It has
some ISO-s.   Recently FreeBSD decided to quit putting out ISOs
with all the source for all the ports.   So, the two ISO-s called
disk1.iso and disk2.iso contain the installation system, the full
operating system and some of the more popular ports.  They used to
put out two more ISO-s that contained the rest of the ports in a
four ISO set, but FreeBSD no longer does that.  You can easily
obtain any and all of it through FreeBSD because the ISO-s have
the complete ports tree skeleton from which you can install any of
the ports directly over the net -  and that is how you really want
to install ports anyway.

BUT, some other companies package the larger sets on CDs - usually 4 CDs.
Try FreeBSD Mall, for example.  There are a couple of others as well.
Those sets have the whole schmear.

The other combination is to download the mini-iso which has essentially
just the installation system and the OS and everything else in then
brought down over the net during installation.

> 
> Does FreeBSD come with an installation package?

Yes.  You boot the install CD and voila.
>

FreeBSD is BSD which has its origins in the Berkeley U written version
of Bell Labs UNIX way way back in deep and dark history long before
Linux was ever conceived, let alone birthed.

So you can cvsup as of today and get openssl 0.9.7c.
Whether that constitutes "safe," you'd have to ask the security officer.

1) Make sure it's not in browser/squid cache.

2) In your httpd.conf, you'll probably need to add index.php3 to your
DirectoryIndex directive, if you haven't already.

No doubt you will hear a lot of corrections to your statement.
That is because it is not true.First of all, System V is a UNIX,
but UNIX is not a System V.   You sound like you have confused which
set is the larger and contains the other set.   The set of all UNIX 
contains System V (and BSD and Linux).   The set of all System V does
NOT contain UNIX (nor BSD) though it could be seen as containing Linux
as well as more recent Sun OSen and some others.

BSD more truly predates System V.  Although the general concept of 
all of the UNIX flavors comes from original Bell Labs work, BSD branched 
off and became its own thing before System V came in to being.   Later, 
over time, many BSDs, especially proprietary versions, incorporated some 
System V "inovations" (features), but that is a separate issue.   

My understanding is that the lawsuits from wayback caused all Bell Labs 
code to be excised from BSD and BSD sort of started over clean as part 
of the settlement those many years ago.  FreeBSD and other open software 
BSDs were born of this clean code, still a BSD system and not anything 
to do with System V.

Linux started with supposedly a "clean" (in the same sense that BSD
was cleaned of Bell Labs code) System V type of kernel and people then
added on all the rest of the stuff, also supposedly clean code.  Now
Linux seems to be in the same place BSD was years ago proving they
are clean and not using any code now owned by SCO.   I have no idea
how clean it really is or how seriously SCO is in its claims or if
it is just trying to position itself into a marketable position.

Perhaps they are using a Microsoft brower-based

I took a quick look, and it *looks* like it should work

I don't have an NIS setup, though, nor enough boxes to set one up, so

True. Better yetto say that FreeBSD has learned me to expect some type of files  to be 
in specific places. So it's some identity ;) here.

What I was trying to point out is that "real and original directory structures"  of a 
what_ever_I_get_from _the_net should conform to hier(7) (of what ever system they are 
installed on ..., in particular for bsd's hier). Qmail and friends bothers me for 
that.

You got a point here. If you're asking me, the *big* design problem is the suid thing.


[..]

I'm not trying to start a flame here. I'm using Linux on some desktops and I've moved 
90% percent of one customer pcs from win to a FreeBSd Linux mix. In fact my first 
contact with the *nix world was with a Red Hat. (Still remember a few hours with an 
old System V book and LILO refusing to boot :-) ). After which I've got 2.2.2 FreeBSD 
and felt in love :).

buh>/ports/distfiles# which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
so it's /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/ (==> /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/)

Now consider no hier - I've did the mistake of inventing my on directory structure for 
an app once and I still suffer.

I still think that the ports system is (at least for my needs) superior to rmps. It 
simplify the building from source in many cases, but you can always do a make extract 
and start patching around.

As I remember it, the tarball becomes part of the RPM, so that's not
entirely accurate.  Of course it's been awhile, so I may be wrong.

The RPMs attempt to integrate the software package in an appropriate
manner to the OS layout.  To do otherwise could lead to hundreds of
/usr/local/ subdirectories.  The ports do the same thing, but a couple
years ago the RPMs generated a little cruft in upgrades and removals,
while the ports generate almost no cruft.

> Are packages more readily available with FreeBSD?  I saw port packages
> usually only heard about or hard to get.

Another place the ports shine.  If you want it, just install the port
- you don't have to search the net high and low to find it.  If it's
not available in one place, it will go look in other likely places.
It doesn't guarantee the file will always be found, but it does a darn
good job.  You only have to go download tarballs when the software is
under license that requires your acknowlegement (like the Sun Java
packages) or if the origins no longer have it in the expected
location.

I've rambled about this enough.  Suffice it to say that I'm pretty
much sold on FreeBSD, partly because of the ease with which software
is installed, upgraded, and removed.  Partly because I like having the
little daemon around :)

You are right through the 80s.  In the 90s, the System V code had to 
be pulled from most of the kernel.  The NetBSD and FreeBSD projects 
started with the BSD 386 code, and had to redo their distro as a 
result of a lawsuit to the BSD 4.4 lite code.  That code had several 
files removed as part of the lawsuit settlement.  I'd guess that only 
SCO products, Solaris, AIX, and (if you believe SCO) Linux 2.4 has 
System V code in them now.  Of course I mean solaris 2.x+, since 1.x 
was based on BSD code.
Here is nice simple picture that seems to explain the history of unix 
fairly well. :)

Well, the RPS are made FROM the tarballs, aren't they?  A lot of that
software is written on/for Linux, but building RPMs is one extra step
that a lot of developers just haven't bothered to learn.  So they
distribute the tarball, which is practically universally understood,
and let someone else build the RPM.

Of course this *doesn't* mean that FreeBSD always has first access to
the new version in a port.  Someone still has to write the port,
which, frankly is a little more work than building an RPM.  I've done
both, but I haven't done the RPM since I moved to FreeBSD over 2 years
ago.

> I noticed a lot of ISPs use FreeBSD.  Is it more widely accepted as
> the best up-to-date in packages?

In the past, FreeBSD has had a much better security reputation than
Linux, and the VM manager has been much better.  I was always
inundated with crack attempts when I was with MediaOne, and as far as
the VM, I've seen an indentical window manager config (same versions
of XFree86, Fvwm2, etc, on identical machines) take three times as
long on Linux as FreeBSD - though that was over 2 years ago, and I
don't know how Linux has progressed since then.

> Does FreeBSD conform to the directories that tarballs prefer?

Not always.  That's the point.  RPMs don't have to either, but both
depend on the software writer's install procedure.  Most gnu and open
source software is written with a configure tool that allows you to
specify the install prefix.

The port writer typically puts the software in a directory that won't
lead to the proliferation of /usr/local/ subdirectories.  But the
package registry keeps close track of the locations of every file in
the package.  It keeps the cruft rating surprisingly low.  When a port
is upgraded (like with portupgrade) the system removes all the files
belonging to the old system.  Also, if you want to install a port, the
system will automatically install or build all dependencies specified
in the port.  Last time I installed RedHat, it only told you what was
missing - one - package - at - a - time, so you'd try the install, go
find and install the RPM it complained about, then try the install
again, go get the next RPM it complained about . . . and this is a
recursive problem.  I once had to do this more than 15 times between
the original RPM I wanted (don't remember what it was) and the
dependencies, and the dependencies' dependencies, . . .

With the ports system, you go to the port you want installed, and it's
simply

$ make install clean

which will install all dependencies you don't have installed, or you
use portupgrade:

$ portupgrade -RN apache2

and all the dependencies that need upgrading will also be upgraded.

And 99% of the time, none of it requires any more effort than that.

Re: apache & php3 question

[Nico Meijer]

Hi,

[I think you might want to check your MUA's wrapping]

This looks like it does make a lot of sense. After changing and restarting apache, it only works partially. Most pages get parsed, but for some reason, my index.php3 gets downloaded when called from the browser. 
Have you tried blaming the browser? In other words: clear all its cache 
and try again. Any proxies between you and the server?

For some other reason php includes seem to not work, but this might be another problem, with the php installation. I'd be thankful for a hint on this nevertheless ;)
Turn on/up php's error reporting and I'm sure you'll find out what's 
wrong pretty soon.

If it's a production box, turn on/up logging to syslog and tail whatever 
log appropriate.

HTH... Nico

VMWare doesn't make keys for version 2 any longer AFAIK.  That's what

RE: isa pnp modem

[fbsd_user]

First thing is to check for is if your modem is am winmodem. FBSD
does not work with Winmodem. Winmodems are special cheap modems
targeted at the Microsoft Windows market and are missing an onboard
controller which functions are performed by the modem software
driver you have to install into Windows.

Second your question is just too generic and undefined. You have to
provide details of what problems you are having and describe what
you have done to install it. Without details people can not help
you.

I have Apache1.3 running with mod_php4. Directory indexes are set to 
index.html, index.php and index.php3. None of those .php3 pages get 
parsed, every .php page works fine. It should not be a 
register_globals problem, since the other .php sites work fine.

mod_php3 is not installed, but I suppose that mod_php4 should cover 
php3, if I load both modules I get an error when starting apache. Is 
the load order of those modules relevant as well?

Any ideas where to look for a solution? Thanks, Holger

Sorry, the output explains nothing (the device seems to be up).

Look at the file closer (maybe even dump it with "od" or such ): is it
absolute silence (always zero) or is it 0+-1? If it's always zero, it's
probably the soundcard, otherwise probably the input source (cable,...).
Don't quote me on that, though.
