That depends on your configuration, which you haven't described.  Take
a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html.

It looks as if you have only one plex, then.  Vinum doesn't normally
recover from these problems.  It follows a slightly different policy
from UFS: if there are bad sectors on a subdisk, it doesn't trust the
entire subdisk.  There are ways around this, but they haven't been
committed.  Send me the information asked for on the web page and I'll
send you instructions on how to fix the problem.

This still means that you'll probably have to change the disk.

fonts question

[Scott I. Remick]

I understand a lot of things, but fonts sometimes confuse me. This is one
of those times. I'm using FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and XFree86 4.3.0.

Most of the time, my fonts are beautiful and anti-aliased. However, I
noticed some web pages some text wouldn't be. I narrowed down one site to
it listing "Lucida" in the fonts pref list, which I have as a PCF font. It
seems that PCF fonts are bitmap fonts... so that explains why it's not
anti-aliased.

An example would be:

This text isn't
anti-aliased!

(One quick solution here would be a way in Firebird to never use PCF fonts
when rendering pages... if someone knows the answer, please let me know.
This would be Question #1).

I use gnome (2.4), so I pulled up my font list to discover that "Lucida"
was a PCF font. I also saw that I had LucidaBright and LucidaTypewriter,
also PCF fonts. It occurred to me that maybe I could get the TTF "Lucida
Sans" font and put it on here. If so, Question #2 is: is there a way to
have X always substitute a font... in this case, Lucida Sans for any call
for "Lucida"? I would assume flat out turning off PCF fonts would be a Bad
Idea.

The plot thickens though. I launch OpenOffice 1.1 and guess what? I see
"Lucidasans", "Lucidabright", and "Lucidatypewriter" as VECTOR FONTS!
Truly they are working, as I tried applying them to some sample text and
made the point size huge. Yet these same fonts don't appear in AbiWord. So
question #3 is: What gives? Where's this Lucidasans vector font coming
from? How can I make it available to other apps, like Firebird and
AbiWord? And how can I make it get used before the PCF Lucida?

I know the page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html

...but it doesn't go this deep.

Any insight or help appreciated... thanks!

I've had great success with MPlayer with up-to-date Windows Media files:
same goes for Quicktime's Sorenson 3 codec. Unfortunately, compiling MPlayer
is a bit of a pain, as the Windows codecs are pulled in from elsewhere.

Best place to look for details on this would be the MPlayer homepage:

It certainly is in the Makefile for the misc/amander-server port (and
also in the misc/amanda-client port for that matter, because it is a
just slave port of amanda-server):

% cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server
% make pre-fetch

You may use the following build options:

-DWITH_PLOT to enable ploting, requires X11 libraries
-DWITH_SAMBA to enable the use of smbclient
-DWITH_MTX to enable the use of mtx changer scripts
AMANDA_SERVER=server to specify a server name
The default is happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk
AMANDA_TAPE=tape to specify the default tape device
The default is /dev/nrsa0
AMANDA_CONFIG=config to specify the default configuration
The default is user
AMANDA_USER=user to specify the default user
The default is operator
AMANDA_GROUP=group to specify the default group
The default is operator
AMANDA_PORTRANGE=low,high to restrict Amanda to TCP ports
between low and high when connecting from the server
to the client for data, messages, and indexing.
The default is no restriction on TCP ports.
AMANDA_UDPPORTRANGE=low,high to restrict Amanda to UDP ports
between low and high when connecting from the client
to the server. Use ports below 1024.
The default is no restriction on UDP ports.


Thus the OP should be able to achieve what she wants by:

# cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server
# make install AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup

(and the same for amanda-client if required)

or, if she has been swayed by the blandishments of portupgrade(1)

# portinstall -m 'AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup' misc/amanda-server 
misc/amanda-client

although it's generally better to edit the make options into the
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf MAKE_ARGS hash so that those arguments
are always applied when you use portupgrade(1) to keep your ports up
to date.

Most ports will supply make time options to let you choose amongst the
most popular variations.  Many of those will print out a short summary
of the options available as part of the pre-fetch target.  However,
the usage is not consistent across all 10,000 odd ports in the tree
and the most effective way to work out what options are available is
simply to read the ports Makefile.

Also, any port that uses GNU autoconf (ie. it has USE_AUTOCONF in the
Makefile) can pass extra arguments to the 'configure' script by
appending to the CONFIGURE_ARGS or CONFIGURE_ENV make flags:

# make CONFIGURE_ARGS+='--enable-foo --disable-bar' CONFIGURE_ENV+='CC=gcc'

Nb. It's generally better to use '+=' rather than completely
overriding any value the port Makefile sets already.

Cheers,

Matthew

Actually, that's set for all of the child processes of any xterm(1)
windows you may use.  It seems to be an xterm(1) specific thing to set
in the environment, but then I haven't actually checked any of the
xterm-alike programs.  As far as I know, it's not used for anything
much from the shell.

The WINDOWID value itself just reports the Window id value known to
the X server -- all X windows on the server will have a unique ID
number which is used within the server to make sure that X events and
window updates and so forth get directed to the right place.  Use
xwininfo(1) to display that, and other, data about any windows on your
display.  xwininfo(1) returns the window id value in hex, and it does
have the same sort of pattern for all windows as you mention.  It
looks like some sort of bitmap to me, probably to tell the X server
what the capabilities of the window are, but I can't find the
appropriate man page that describes that.  Try using xwininfo(1)
against the root window, icons and so forth.

Matthew

Hardware RAID vs softupdates

[Michael Lee]

Hi,

I have a Hardware RAID controller -- Mylex DAC960PG -- on the FreeBSD
system.
Before I installed the RAID controller card, I use one IDE hdd as the system
drive and for other mounted file systems.

I have 4 SCSI hdds connect to this controller card. I wonder if I should
disable the softupdates feature for the FFS to make the system runs faster.

Thanks for your opinion.

Re: FreeBSD Internals e-book

I can't resist mentioning that Kirk McKusick and others are working on a
(paper) book on FreeBSD kernel, based on FreeBSD 5 series to replace very
good but aging Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD Operating System (from
the FreeBSD viewpoint).

Last time I talked with him (early this summer) he had a guesstimate that
it'd be complete next summer. OTOH, predicting is hard, especially
predicting the future. ;)

I'm sure waiting for this book...

There's also FreeBSD Architecture Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html)
which supposedly works well as a "patch set" for the 4.4BSD book for the
folks that already feel reasonably comfortable with kernel concepts.

That's wrong.  See the Handbook section titled "Swap Partition".

Because FreeBSD tries to "stripe" the usage across all of the swap
space, you're best off giving it space on all of the disks.  However,
if your disks are not all the same speed, you're better off sticking
to the fastest ones for swap space.

That's true, but also note that swap partition usage is faster than
regular disk usage, so it can be useful even for clean pages.

There's one exception to this:  the *most* useful case for optimizing
swap is where a single task has a working data set that doesn't fit in
memory.  In that case, every little bit of speed you can tweak out of
swap access will improve results substantially.  Of course, additional
RAM would help even more.


The one other thing to note about swap space is that you can't do a
kernel dump unless you have a partition big enough to hold it.  The
easiest way to guarantee that's available is to leave a swap partition
bigger than your RAM.  But if you need to, you can always limit the
amount of RAM your kernel is using to just under the size of the
largest available partition, so that's not necessarily critical either.

Good luck.

Dredging back through memory I seem to recall that irq 9 was somewhat
problematic (not specifically a FreeBSD problem) being a remapping of irq 2
which *sometimes* worked.

If possible it might be worth trying to rewire the interrupt to irq 3 or irq 
5.

But then difficulties of the past with irq 2/9 may have been solved in
modern hardware. On the other hand it seems to me that flakey interrupts
could give rise to the symptoms you are experiencing.

Thanks for the answer, Dan.

Upgrading to 4.8 is not directly possible on this production server. But can
I not just recompile the kernel with a patch?

This may be the one affecting me. After your hinting me to the problem, I
did some further googling; but it sounds as if 5.1 still suffers from the
same malady; for instance:

ignoring openssl port

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

On Mon, 4 Aug 2003 14:48:38 +0300, I wrote:

Among several recommendations of how to get rid of the port, the best 
one seemed to be from Matthew Seaman: define WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes, 
rebuild the dependent ports (make build while the old port is still 
running), and then "make install" the port. Then remove the OpenSSL 
port.

Back then I decided that I can live with both base and port version of 
OpenSSL installed, and I decided not to spend time on following this 
advice.

Now, in light of recent OpenSSL security advisories, something needs to 
be done. I have upgraded the base system to 4.8-RELEASE-p13, so the 
base OpenSSL should be safe. I have two options right now:

(1) upgrade the port
(2) get rid of the port, leaving only the base system OpenSSL installed 
(what I wanted to do back in August)

I'd like to use option (2), so I tried to follow Matthew Seaman's 
advice. I put WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes into /etc/make.conf and tried to 
run 'make build' in /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl. This resulted in 
the following message:

This port wants the OpenSSL library from the FreeBSD base system. You 
can't build against it, while a newer Version is installed by a port.
Please deinstall the port or undefine WITH_OPENSSL_BASE.

I found the place which causes this message in 
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:

.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/libcrypto.so)
.BEGIN:
   @${ECHO_CMD} "This port wants the OpenSSL library from the
   FreeBSD" @${ECHO_CMD} "base system. You can't build against it,
   while a newer" @${ECHO_CMD} "Version is installed by a port."
   @${ECHO_CMD} "Please deinstall the port or undefine
   WITH_OPENSSL_BASE." @${FALSE}
.endif

Looking at this while not being a Makefile guru, it seems to me that 
this merely checks if /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so exists and if it does 
then the port build process is halted with the message. But this would 
mean that WITH_OPENSSL_BASE cannot be used at all if the port is 
installed. If that were true, there wouldn't be any point in having 
this variable in the first place, so I must be overlooking something.

Anyway, I tried commenting out the above passage in 
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and rebuilding another port which depends on 
OpenSSL, namely /usr/ports/ftp/wget. I checked with 
ldd /usr/local/bin/wget 
before and after installing and this showed that now I indeed have wget 
linked against  /usr/lib/libssl.so.3, whereas before it was linked 
against  /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3.

Before I try the same with apache13-modssl port, I just wanted to 
verify if commenting out the above passage in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk 
can cause any unforeseen damage.

Sorry for the long message. When I started out I didn't realise that 
it takes so many keystrokes to word such a simple question ;-)

Hmmm.   Guess I am out of date on this part.   Some older systems I
worked on (not necessarily FreeBSD) did not stripe swap.  It's very
nice that FreeBSD does.

Looks like you have a lot of reading to do.
Go to the FreeBSD web page and start reading.
  http://www.freebsd.org/

Click on the links and follow their trails for complete information.
Start with the link "For Newbies" under Documentation, but don't
stop there.

In general, FreeBSD is an Operating System (OS) for computers.  

It is BSD because it has its roots in the
_B_erkeley _S_oftware _D_istribution
group at University Of California at Berkeley.

It is Free because it is available to download, install, use,
modify and redistribute freely merely by downloading the ISO-s from
the FreeBSD site.   You can also buy a CD set from a couple of 
companies who package the system and ports and burn them on CDs
for you for a nominal cost.

The rest is up to you to learn by studying and trying it out.

Have fun,

jerry

Actually, if your ports are all linked against libssl.so.3 and you
have /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 from the base system, then many of your
ports could well be using the base system version already.  Check
using ldd(1) against any likely candidates -- note that when
investigating apache loadable modules ldd will sometimes fail to find
a shared object in the current working directory unless you type eg.
'ldd ./libssl.so' Also check, oh, the ssh(1) binary in the base system
to make sure the converse isn't happening, and it's linking against
stuff under /usr/local.

If you can confirm that all your ports will try and link against the
system libssl.so.3, make sure to test by stopping and restarting
everything as a check that they still do actually run OK using that
shlib.  In theory they should just work, but in practice they will
fail to do so unless you assume the worst and test everything
rigourously (Murphy's Law...).

If everything is running happily using the /usr/lib/libssl.so.3
library then you should simply be able to move aside the shlib from
the port (ie. /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3) and everything will carry on
without problems.  Or you can move the existing shlib aside
preemptively (Note: not delete it as that will definitely crash any
application linked against it) and restart all the SSL using
applications to force them to pick up /usr/lib/libssl.so.3.  You can
then pkg_deinstall the openssl port (not forgetting removing the
renamed /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3) and nothing should crash...

Cheers,

Matthew

apache/auth_ldap authentication to win2k active directory

[Redmond Militante]

hi all

i've been given the task of setting up ldap authentication against a windows 2000 
active directory from a webpage served up by our apache box.

the documentation that exists for this is sparse.  so far, i've: 
installed auth_ldap as an apache module
recompiled php4 for openldap support
recompiled apache for modssl support

i've been going through the examples listed on http://www.rudedog.org/auth_ldap/ 
(auth_ldap homepage) - but the examples listed on this page are mainly for iPlanet, no 
examples are given for windows active directory authentication, just some notes on the 
subject...

ideally, i'd like to have a webpage/pages protected by .htaccess that authenticates 
against my win2k pdc.  i've tried the following in my httpd.conf file

#
#Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#AllowOverride None
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
#AuthLDAPEnabled on
#AuthLDAPAuthoritative on
#AuthName "Secure Access"
#AuthType Basic
#AuthLDAPBindDN CN=users,DC=my.domaincontroller.edu,DC=edu
#AuthLDAPBindPassword MyP4sswurd 
#AuthLDAPUrl ldap://my.domaincontroller.edu:389/DC=my.domaincontroller
.edu,DC=edu?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass*)
#require valid-user
#

(these have been commented out, but it wasn't working when i tried it, i didn't even 
get an login prompt)

i'm kind of unsure if my syntax above is ok, whether or not i've compiled in the right 
modules/options, whether i should be putting the above directives directly into my 
httpd.conf file, or whether i should put these into an .htaccess file, etc.

anyone have any experience with auth_ldap/apache authentication to a win2k active 
directory? any pointers or recommendations would be welcome.  

thanks
redmond

You don't even need to rebuild the kernel.  Just updating libc and
libc_r should do it (don't forget to reinstall /usr/include too).  I'm
actually runing a 4.8 libc on a 4.4 kernel with no problems on one
machine here (don't want to lose the 400-day uptime :)

Re: Hardware RAID vs softupdates

[Michael Lee]

Hi Kirk,

Thank you for your reply but I think that you probably misunderstand me.
So far as I know, FFS with softupdates support acts quite similar to async.
file system. However, hardware based RAID controller card is usually
equipped with some cache RAM. In some aspects, RAID controller card acts
somewhat like async. file ssytem. I wonder if RAID controller waits for a
certain time before it does command "write" to disk and then this "write"
command then was queued by softupdates
Will it be faster if I use softupdates with hardware RAID system ?

Thanks!

Michael Lee

It won't break any of your applications.  It won't upgrade your
applications, either.  To upgrade an application after you have updated
its source with cvsup, portupgrade is excellent.  I'd recommend
installing it, reading the man page, and using it to upgrade your
applications.

amd with ldap support

Hi :)

This might sound like a dumb question, but is it possible to compile the
amd automounter with ldap support in the base system ?
I'm using openldap as an authentication system for my users (with
nss_ldap, pam_ldap and samba) and I would love to use amd ldap maps.
Right now, I have:
Map support for: root, passwd, hesiod, union, nis, ndbm, file, error

Should I add something to /etc/make.conf or edit/patch the sources ?

While I'm at it, is there a way to use amd with ext2fs filesystems ?

Thanks in advance.

In my small environment I am using Bacula (www.bacula.org) also it is 
available on sourceforge. It runs quite well, and the documentation is 
above the quality of any commercial software I have seen lately. Oh, BTW, 
it is open source. And the developer is only an email away. Response time 
for him is usually in an hour or so!

I am not related to, get no kickback from, nor even any attaboys from 
Bacula, but am pleased with the product and am quite happy to make mention 
of it!

Someone on the list recommended it to me, and I forgot to say thanks. It 
works well and will handle Windows clients as remote backup clients.

I cannot help you with commercial backup software.

There used to be a port of gpc, but as you can see in the latest cvs log
message the port has been removed since it was broken:

See here, for example:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/gpc/Attic/Makefile

If you would like to use gpc, you could use those file as a start and
try to fix it, such that the port can be rebuild.

If you are interested in that, then you even could become the maintainer
of that port and appear as one of the "additional contributors" to the
FreeBSD project in the handbook. Doesn't that sound great? The
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list will assist you fixing that port.

I use amanda (/usr/ports/misc/amanda-*) on a Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz machine w/
2Gbytes of RAM running FreeBSD 4.8.  The machine contains a 3ware ATA RAID
card with 6 120Gbyte disks attached and concatinated into a single volume
and is used for temporary holding space for the dump files.  The tape and
tape changer device is a Dell PowerEdge 122T with an LTO tape drive
connected via an Adaptec SCSI controller.  I use `mtx'
(/usr/ports/misc/mtx) to control the tape changer.  To top it off the
machine interfaces to the network using an Intel 1000baseSX ethernet over
fiber network card which is sub-interfaced using VLANs onto all of the
subnets in our switch infrastructure (this means backup traffic doesn't
hit the router).

This machine backs up approximately 200Gbytes per night.  This consists of
157 partitions accross 64 hosts.  The hosts are a combination of Solaris,
Linux, FreeBSD, DEC (OFS/1), and AIX machines.  I get level zero dumps of
each partition every 4 days and sometimes more frequently.

Backups start at 7PM and typically run for about 6 to 8 hours.

Hope that helps.

Amanda or Bacula

[Rick Duvall]

Here is my situation:

I have about 200 gigs of data to back up every night on multiple machines on
the network.  All are either FreeBSD or Linux based.  My backup machine is
FreeBSD.  I have about 30 gigs of dump drive space, and a 20 gig tape drive.
I am pretty much convinced that even if I use compression, I will need to
span across multiple tapes or get a bigger tape drive.  At the very least I
may have to get more dump drive and do incremental backups.  At any rate, I
am having a hard time deciding between Amanda and Bacula.  Amanda has been
around forever and is known to work, but to the best of my knowledge doesn't
span across multiple tapes.  Bacula, on the other hand, does span across
multiple tapes, but it hasn't been out as long.

Is this a choice of personal preference, or does one actually work better
than the other in my scenario?

Re: Backup Solutions

[Scott Hiemstra]

Just so the original question does get answered, I have successfully used
Backup Exec to backup FreeBSD/Linux/Solaris boxes with no real pain to
mention.  Veritas attempts to hide the fact they have agents for UNIX within
backup exec but they are present, you just have to do a little digging on
the Veritas web site.  The only catches to the entire setup if you wish to
use BackupExec is that the backup server must be a windows machine and for
backing up FreeBSD machines you must use compat linux.

Just my past findings,
Scott

We're using Veritas Netbackup, but they only have client support for
FreeBSD.

Take a look at Tapeware; depending on their definition of "Client", you
can back up 10 machines for between $700 and $3000 (including 1 yr. of
maintenance and support).  They also have a 30-day trial download, so
you can try it out.

Thanks for the excellent advice! I checked all the ports that were 
dependent of openssl port, moved /usr/local/lib/libcrypto* and 
/usr/local/lib/libssl* to safe location and restarted the applications. 
Everything worked and ldd now shows that everything is linked against 
/usr/lib/libssl.so.3 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3. I'll restart the 
server just to make sure I didn't overlook anything, but I strongly 
doubt I find any problems (knock on wood).

Re: Amanda or Bacula

[Rick Duvall]

So to clarify just so that I understand correctly:

1.  Each filesystem per system to be backed up qualifies as a dumpfile.
2.  Multiple dumpfiles per backup
3.  Multiple tapes per backup, as long as 1 dumpfile isn't larger than the
tape.

One of my systems has a 120 gig drive with about 36gigs (and growing) of
people's images, documents, etc on it (samba server).  My single tape drive
is only 20 gigs.  I am assuming this will be a problem for Amanda unless I
get a bigger tape drive.

Sincerely,

Rick Duvall

With AMANDA, each filesystem's dump must fit on a single tape; but it
can use multiple tapes in a single dump run.
I've been using AMANDA for several years now; and one of the things
that I like about it is that you tell it how many tapes you have and
how long a dump cycle you want; and it decides when to run full or
incremental dumps for each partition; and the level of increment on
the incrementals.  It is easy to set it up to ensure that there are
at least two full dumps on tape at any given time; even if you have
a very limited number of tapes.
I now have a couple of disks that are too large to fit a full dump
onto a single tape; so I've been looking into other backup systems.
Bacula seems to be the top contender because it appears to be able
to span a single partition's dump across multiple tapes.  But it
uses the classic 'full dump every X, incremental every Y, differential
every Z' scheduling mechanism.  Which means that I'd need to split
my tapes into a set for full dumps and another for incremental or
differential dumps.  And worry about exactly how many tapes I need
in each.  And which set I have loaded into the limited-capacity
auto-changer.  (AMANDA uses the tapes in sequence; so I just swap
the 7-tape carrier for the next one when it complains that it can't
find the one it wants.)
So I'm stuck trying to choose between a system with a real good
scheduling algorythm; but unable to backup large partitions; and
a system that can handle large partitions; but uses a scheduling
scheme that may require me to spend hundreds of dollars for more
tapes...

Re: Amanda or Bacula

[Mike Hogsett]

Yes!  For amanda, the tape must be able to store the compressed dump file
on one tape.

Worst case scenario is that the 120 Gbyte partition is filled with
uncompressable data making the dump file 120Gbytes.  Amanda will need a
tape drive which is capable of storing that on one tape.

I've been trying to "make buildworld" for the last three weeks on this

Thu Sep 25 13:25:08 CDT 2003
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM  i386

Each time I do so, the process stops with "Error code 1."  I don't
remember the exact point it barfs but last weeks attempt stopped at a 
different point then last weeks.  Between attempts I follow the instructions 
in the handbook of removing /usr/obj/usr and running "make cleandir" twice. 
Below is the last error output.  I realize it is missing files but I'm
cvsuping src-all.  I've tried two different mirrors -
cvsup9.us.FreeBSD.org
cvsup18.us.FreeBSD.org 

How can I go about resolving this issue and how can it not have the
correct source file when I'm snagging src-all?

I'm working through this too myself.  This is on a PR#50507.

This is caused by "NO_OPENSSL" at a minimum. I tried "NO_CRYPTO" 
but that didn't help. I've asked around to people, can't get an answer.
I'm trying this against RELENG_4_8.

That can work, but I dont like using tar in place of dump.  Dump's
incremental backup handling is better.  I handle this by limiting a
maximum size of a partition to no larger than a tape's raw
(e.g. uncompressed) capacity.

[John Fox]

Hello to all,

I am trying to determine the maximum (IDE) drive capacity supported
by FreeBSD 2.2.2.  I have carefully read the release notes for 2.0 
and 2.2.2 and seen no mention of this datum.  

At this point, I'm theorizing that there the only such limit has to
do with the limitations of what the BIOS will support.

Any thoughts appreciated,

-John

I did post to -questions as well.

Yes, I've verified it.
the rc.conf  gateway_enable option and setting the sysctl forwarding
option do the same thing, someone more knowledgeable can answer to that
one.  Oh, I just checked it sets the forwarding but not fastforwarding.
So you need either method you choose, both is redundant.
Wasn't sure about that. Thanks.
You are not very descriptive: can ping?  ping [ip.num.for.localhost] or
ping [ip.num.for.externalhost] or ping [host.domain.tld]
ping local, ping external-ip, ping name.of.external all work.
apparently do name lookups??  are you getting good results from
nslookup www.abcnews.com or such?
host www.lerctr.org works (from a non-auth resolver for it).
I think there is a top like command line option for ipfilter you can use
to see what ipfilter is doing, but I am not sure if it is helpful with
ipnat.
Didn't seem to get it.  I did do a ipnat -l and SAW THE TRANSLATION.

I also could telnet to the same destination from directly on the
fw/router box, and saw the session. :-(
posting to questions instead, I think is appropriate.
Will follow-up there.


Have a good day,
Thanks!

Various sources recommend using tar instead of dump on live filesystems.
The essence of the argument is that dump writes the filelist at the
beginning of the backup, then writes the file contents.  Tar writes a
filename, then the contents, then another filename, then that file's
contents, etc.  If the filesystem is inactive then this is a non-issue.  If
it's quite active, though (like /var, /home), then tar's system may lead to
more consistent backups.

That's if and only if you use dump instead of tar.  I use tar to back up
some large filesystems that have large amounts of incompressible video by
splitting them into manageable chunks.  With Amanda you can choose to use
dump or tar on a per-filesystem basis so you have a bit of flexibility when
deciding which strategy to use.

If you're running 5.x, you can use dump -L, which will snapshot the
filesystem and back that up.

I tried to compile mjpeg tools some time ago and I got the same error.

I was lucky it was in lav2divx which I didn't need, so I copied the other
tools to a subdir and used those. I just needed yuvscaler and such
to make some video CDs from AVIs and MPEGS

I am sure Bacula can handle your setup. I am also sure Amanda will do the 
job. If I were in your position, I would try both. Run one for a week or 
two and then the other. See which works best for you.

There are some minor catches with Bacula on FreeBSD for running under the 
5X branch with the latest version of bacula. You can follow the threads at 
the bacula email archive on sourceforge. If you are running FBSD 4.8 you 
should be fine. There was/is some change to the SCSI (if I recall 
correctly) coding that Bacula has trouble with.

You would be most welcome to email the bacula list at:
bacula-users (at) lists.sourceforge.net
and ask about your setup and possibilities as well as what you want to do 
per schedules, drives, etc.

diskless/pxe booting problem...

[Dave O]

I've been experiencing a problem getting a soekris to pxe boot properly. 
 I've tried this with both RELENG_4_8 and RELENG_4 and it still gives 
me the same problem.  I've read and re-read the diskless operation, nfs, 
and freebsd booting process sections in the handbook, as well as tried 
to read and understand both the rc.diskless[12] scripts and the 
clone_root script.

I'm exporting /tmp on the dhcp server since that was the only way I 
could get the -alldirs option to work, though in retrospect, I don't 
seem to need it.  I've used both the clone_root method to create a 
proper root to export, as well as using the method described in jail(8). 
 The soekris is able to pxe boot off of the server, but it always hangs 
in the same spot.  Does anyone have any idea what I should be looking 
at?  Here is my configuration.  For the sake of space, I didn't include 
the entire configuration files, only what I believe is pertinent.  If I 
should provide any more info, I'm welcome to suggestions.

True, but I can't vouch from personal experience whether that works as

Yes, I've placed a stripped and gzipped kernel in both /tmp and, just to 
be on the safe side, in the /tftpboot directory as well.  It seems to me 
that it loads the kernel ok, but I'm not sure what it gets stuck on. 
Fyi, I did make sure that md0 exists in /dev, and the diskless /etc 
exists in both /tmp/etc and /tmp/conf/base/etc.  Here is a more complete

what version of openssh is running?

[srenna]

Hi all,

I followed instructions from this site:

http://www.jasonmorgan.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=24

So I could upgrade system Openssh.  However, when I run ssh
-V it tells me that the version on the system is 3.5p1 and
no the updated version.  Anyone know if this technique
works in this page, if so, how do I update my box so it
knows what version is running.  Where is the file located
where Openssh stores its banner info?

I'm running FreeBSD 5.0

Yes, I've placed a stripped and gzipped kernel in both /tmp and, just

I did a quick search for "calcru: negative time" in google and came up
with the following link -

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#CALCRU-NEGATIVE

See if that helps you.  I have no personal experience with this problem.

mounted hard disc gave "device not configured"

[Rob .]

(apologies in advance if this silly hotmail account adds any HTML..)

Hi all,

I have a 4.8-RELEASE server running stock Generic kernal as a NFS and samba 
file server.  It's got a pile of standard IDE discs in it, 40 to 120Gb each, 
using two third party PCI IDE cards.

Within the last couple of weeks I have now had three hard disc go down - 
symptoms are basically that any access to the directories hosted on that 
drive gives a "device not configured" error.  Indeed anything trying to 
access the drive gives the same error.  even umount gives the same error...

a quick grep of the logs turns up:

Oct  5 03:03:29 luggage /kernel: ad3: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - 
resett
ing
Oct  5 03:03:29 luggage /kernel: ata1: resetting devices ..
Oct  5 03:03:29 luggage /kernel: ad3: removed from configuration
Oct  5 03:03:29 luggage /kernel: done

Firsttly, and most important, is there anything I can do to restore the 
drive?  A reboot didn't ... There's not much in the top level directory of 
each drive, but loads in sub-folders.  They are not accessed much, but I 
don't particularly want to lose the data.  One of them is my backup drive, 
too...

What would you recommend to avoid problems in the future?  I think it's time 
to build a new server anyway (this is only an AMD K6 2/500)  - Would it be 
best to run a RAID filesystem, and would 1+0 be better than RAID5 for 
reslilence on future failures?  Is this reliable on cheap IDE drives?

Thanks in advance,

Rob.

route between LAN, DMZ and INET

[Jason Lavigne]

Hello all,
 
Below you will find my ifconfig output and my /etc/rc.conf file.
 
I would like to setup a firewall/router that will route between my
private LAN, my DMZ and the Internet. Currently I have the following:
 
I installed FreeBSD 5.1
Installed 3 nics
dc0 (LAN, 192.168.1.111), connected to a 24 port 3Com hub
dc1 (DMZ, 216.138.226.22), connected to a 12 port IBM switch
xl0 (INET, 216.138.224.10), connected to Alcatel dsl modem
 
I have a /28 IP block (216.138.226.16/28) and my default gateway is
216.138.224.9.
 
I turned on routed using /stand/sysinstall after the installation.
 
I have been able to ping addresses from all 3 interfaces and I have been
able to ping to dc0 and dc1 from computers on those networks.
 
Currently I can not use 192.168.1.111 as my gateway on any computers on
the private LAN to get to the Internet, I can ping it but that is as far
as I can go.
 
What I would like is someone to guide me in the right direction as to
what I need to be doing here. Do I need natd? Do I need to make kernel
config changes? Is gated a better option over routed? Any guidance any
of kind you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The next step
after this is to add ipfw and maybe ipsec.
 
Thanks all for allowing me to ask this newbie question.
 
cheers
 
Jay

Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.4 on the same hard drive

[Walt Haynes]

I am currently running Windows XP Professional on a HP Pavilion with a 27.95GB 
hard drive which I've partitioned with FDISK. Windows is in the primary DOS partition 
(about 7GB)  on disk drive C and the extended DOS partition had three logical drives 
(D, E, and F) defined in it; they are 7.3GB, 7.3GB, and 6.3GB respectively. I want to 
create my FreeBSD environment in the first logical drive (D). I know the starting and 
ending sector numbers so that I won't overwrite any data already on the drive. Does 
this sound reasonable ? And will I be able to install FreeBSD's boot manager to give 
me a choice of which OS I want to come up ? I'd really like to do this right the first 
time.

Initially I didn't have anything, not even that directory created.  I've

/conf/base with /conf/default.  Re-reading diskless(8) I see that that 
is indeed where that file is supposed to be (thanks).

I went ahead and copied [/tmp]/etc to [/tmp]/conf/default/etc and still 
the same result.  One thing that's been puzzling me that I haven't seen 
in the archives is the message "missing device name".

I've enabled debugging in rc.diskless1 and haven't seen the results of 
that so I assume that control hasn't been passed on to rc.diskless1. 
Should I call rc.diskless1 explicitly in rc.conf?

Off the top of my head, fish on FreeBSD is currently not working with password 
connections if it's already tried (and failed) a key exchange.  If this is 
your situation, try either using keys, or switching the authentication 
challenge order in the server's sshd configuration.

Other things that trip people up: For fish to work right, both machines must 
be able to reach each other by hostname, and if you have installed the 
openssh port, make sure the right sshd configuration is being picked up - the 
one from the port, not the original base one, a couple of people have hit 
problems when the configs were different, and their edits were not having any 
effect, and this was why.

The second you said "logical D" it won't work. FreeBSD needs a primary 
partition to work. You can have 4 primary partitions on an XP machine. 
You didn't have to use logicals.

Looks like you have a lot of reading to do.
Go to the FreeBSD web page and start reading.
http://www.freebsd.org/

Click on the links and follow their trails for complete information.
Start with the link "For Newbies" under Documentation, but don't
stop there.

In general, FreeBSD is an Operating System (OS) for computers. 

It is BSD because it has its roots in the
_B_erkeley _S_oftware _D_istribution
group at University Of California at Berkeley.

It is Free because it is available to download, install, use,
modify and redistribute freely merely by downloading the ISO-s from
the FreeBSD site. You can also buy a CD set from a couple of 
companies who package the system and ports and burn them on CDs
for you for a nominal cost.

The rest is up to you to learn by studying and trying it out.

Have fun,

jerry
thank you very much for your reply,i really do appreciate it

i had better start then

http://www.freebsd.org/

Click on the links and follow their trails for complete information.
Start with the link "For Newbies" under Documentation, but don't
stop there.

In general, FreeBSD is an Operating System (OS) for computers. 

It is BSD because it has its roots in the
_B_erkeley _S_oftware _D_istribution
group at University Of California at Berkeley.

It is Free because it is available to download, install, use,
modify and redistribute freely merely by downloading the ISO-s from
the FreeBSD site. You can also buy a CD set from a couple of 
companies who package the system and ports and burn them on CDs
for you for a nominal cost.

The rest is up to you to learn by studying and trying it out.

Have fun,

jerry
thank you very much for your reply,i really do appreciate it

i had better start then

Hook it up and see if it works. =)
Seriously though, it should work fine. It will show up as an sa device. I
have a HP DDS-2 autoloader (the drive portion of it is similar to yours)
that works flawlessly with dump and tar, so I don't see any reason why your
drive would not.

reading a linux drive w/o disklabels?

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I've got a drive from a Linux box with partitions I need to read
before I reformat the drive.  All I have handy is FreeBSD boxes, but
when I try to read the drive in a freebsd box, it doesn't read or
recognize the disk slices from Linux.  Any howto's or tips on how to
handle this?

TIA!

Once you've had a chance to think about it, would you mind posting yours
thoughts someplace public? I think that there's much magic in that
general direction, though the path may need to particularly exact to
avoid stepping on a mine :-)

It been quit some time since I've used 4.4 or installed FreeBSD with DOS 
partitions that existed, so someone can correct me if I am mistaken. As 
memory serves me you can install FreeBSD into a extended DOS partition.

I would delete the partition that you want FreeBSD to be in. Then when you 
install FreeBSD let it take care of the formating for you.

Otherwise, you should have no problem.

cross-compiling Linux apps on FreeBSD

[C. Ulrich]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way (preferably an easy way) to build
Linux applications from source on FreeBSD with the intention of running
them in FreeBSD.

My conundrum is this: I want to be able to use a Java (and perhaps
Flash) plugin with Firebird on my FreeBSD workstation. From what I
understand, a native FreeBSD Java web browser plugin doesn't quite exist
and isn't likely to in the near future. There's a linux-mozillafirebird
port in the www ports tree that would let me use the Linux Blackdown
Java plugin, but that does not build with GTK2, and thus, cannot utilize
anti-aliased fonts.

So, I am left to roll my own. I'd like to be able to build Firebird in
FreeBSD, but I have a Linux installation that I can use if that's either
not possible or not so easy. I suspect that I'll have library issues to
deal with, but beyond that I don't really know. I skimmed through all
the documentation on FreeBSD.org, but anything dealing with Linux
emulation seems to only mention running Linux apps, not building them to
work with the Linux emulation layer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It's not completely straightforward, but you can install the
linux_devtools port, then chroot to /compat/linux and run /bin/bash,
then compile things from there as normal.  You'll have to install
whatever other packages are needed to compile your software.

Re: How to turn off the HDD? How to reduce the overall noise?

Hey Marcus... thanks for jumping in. I didn't miss that section, but I
can't see how it helps me here. Maybe you can let me know what I'm missing.

Going through those instructions:

I don't have a ~/.fonts/ directory, and I've looked through
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ for *[Ll][Uu][Cc]* as well as examined all the
font descriptions in the various font.dir files and found no non-PCF
Lucida font mentioned.

Tweaking which fonts are anti-aliased seems not the answer as what I read
says that bitmap fonts like PCF cannot be anti-aliased. So the editing of
fonts-conf to control this isn't applicable. (note: that site talks about
editing that file, yet when you open it, it says at the very top to NOT
edit it).

Running fc-cache -f does not make these vector Lucida fonts visible to
AbiWord.

Changing the point size at which fonts are anti-aliased, or the spacing,
isn't applicable to my problems.

And finally, I already have bitstream-vera installed.

If the answer to my problem (or any of my 3 questions) is indeed on that
web page, then I guess I'm being dense, but I'm not seeing it. Sorry :(

IP Change

[Edward Aronyk]

Good day all,

I'm somewhat new to FreeBSD, so today when we had to deploy a new server
to the colo running FreeBSD, I ran into problems.

Basically the server has been in the office running for the last few
weeks with a DHCP provided IP - but now that it's getting a static IP
I'm not totally sure what to do. I have all of our in information:

Server IP: x.y.z.48
Subnet: 255.255.255.224
Gateway: x.y.z.33
DNS: a.b.c.24
 a.b.c.160

But I'm not sure exactly what needs to change to make this all work
properly? Specifically, I can't find where to put the gateway
information. I know that on OpenBSD it was placed in /etc/mygate but the
same doesn't seem to be true in FreeBSD? Also, what should my
resolv.conf file look like?

For the gateway, from the command line as root:

you can also configure the networking (as root)from /stand/sysinstall

#/stand/sysinstall
 select Configure
select Networking

Follow the prompts from there.

Gateway goes in /etc/rc.conf: defaultrouter="x.y.z.33"  In fact, pretty
much everything goes in rc.conf unless it's got a well-known config
file of its own.

resolv.conf would look like:

domain  mydomain.com
nameserver  a.b.c.24
nameserver  a.b.c.160

Look at the section about modifying local.conf or .fonts.conf to do font
family substitution.  The example I gave is Helvetica, but you can
modify it to work with Lucida as well.

The section starts with: "Certain fonts, such as Helvetica, may have a
problem when anti-aliased. Usually this manifests itself as a font that
seems cut in half vertically. At worst, it may cause applications such
as Mozilla to crash. To avoid this, consider adding the following to
local.conf:"

atacontrol(8)

[Constantine]

Hello,

I have a few questions about atacontrol.

First, why the option 'enclosure' does not seem to work?
<<
cnst# atacontrol enclosure 0 0
atacontrol: ioctl(ATAENCSTAT): Device not configured
>>
Second, where do I have to indicate that my DVD-ROM supports UDMA66? I 
assume that after saying "atacontrol mode 1 udma66 udma66", the settings 
are going to be vanished the next reboot.

Third, why it does not want to set the DVD-ROM to UDMA66 (the device 
supports it, as well as my 80-pin cable, and motherboard):
<<
cnst# atacontrol mode 1 udma66 udma66
Master = UDMA33
Slave  = ???
cnst# atacontrol info 1
Master: acd0  ATA/ATAPI rev 4
Slave:   no device present
>>

The other question I have, is on how can I turn on the automatic 
acoustic management?
<<
cnst# atacontrol cap 0 0
