Hi,
Today I found I cannot calculate what is the octal form of 0xa04e.
First I thought xcalc should do the work, but it seems only deal with
decimal.
I have perl, tcsh, python interprater. It is likely that they are all
capable of this kind, but what are the commands for them? What's the most
convenient way?
How about: echo 0xa04e | awk '{printf %o\n,$1}'
Cheers,

at my wit's end on buildworld
Well, I'm still having problems with buildworld on releng 4.9. My original problem was that make would fail on entering sendmail with a don't know how to make error. I removed /usr/src/* and /usr/sup/src-all/* and resynced with a different cvs server, and still had the same problem. So I edited make.conf to not build sendmail, since I don't need it. Now the build hangs with: gzip -cn /usr/src/usr.sbin/boot0cfg/boot0cfg.8 boot0cfg.8.gz === etc Make appears to exit silently shortly after writing that output. I've tried additional resyncs, and I do remove the concents of /usr/obj/* before each build. I've seen another couple recent posts where clearing obj fixed a similar problem, but it hasn't worked for me. So, I'm at a loss. What do I do next? jason watkins ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Depends on the Motherboard/Bios -- some won't start to boot up unless there's some sort of video display. Plus generally you need a local video adapter in order to configure Bios settings. However, given that your system can get over that important initial hump, then it's perfectly feasible to install and run the system via a serial console. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html Note that a serial console is typically another computer connected serial-port to serial-port via a null-modem cable. You run tip(1) or some other terminal emulation software on the other machine which makes the first machine's console accessible from a login session.

I have tried disabling the onboard NIC as a possible source of conflicts but no luck. I would be willing to go with a late 4.x but it does not probe the onboard SCSI thus I have no drives.

Disk block size tuning - multiple questions
Greetings! First question: I am configuring a server to hold source trees for 4.8/4.9 and maybe -current for production and experimental upgrades on my several FreeBSD servers. Currently, I only keep the -release sources for maintaining patchlevels on the individual boxes themselves. The last time I started adding the -current source tree on a non-production server, I ran out of inodes before actually completing the CVS sync. What newfs blocksize/fragment size and inode density is optimal for 10 to 16 GB partition containing just source trees? The default stripe size on the RAID controller is set to 128k for mirrored drives. Hardware: Compaq ProLiant DL360, dual 18GB (mirrored) drives, with Compaq 5i SmartArray controller. FreeBSD 5.1 Next question: Are there optimal newfs block/fragment/inode options for a quad-disk, 1+0 RAID for a mail server running Postfix? Specifically, the queue directory and the home (Maildir) directories are what I'll need to optimize. I think the queue directory will be heavy read/write, whereas I imagine that the Maildir directories (kept on a different partition) will be more write-intensive over-all. The queue directory will reside on a (approximately) 1 GB /var partition, and the Maildirs will be on a roughly 27 GB /home partition (no other user files on /home). The default stripe size on the RAID controller is set to 128k for mirrored drives. I was looking at the tuning(7) recommendations of something like block size 8192 and frag size 1024 for the queue and Maildir directories. SInce Maildir will have to accomodate occasional large files with attachments, this seems like it might be a happy medium. I don't have a specific usage pattern developed on the number of/size of email files and attachments, so I am planning on a vague, nebulous average email use. Hardware: SGI 1200, quad 18GB (RAID 1+0) drives, Compaq 4200 SmartArray controller, FreeBSD 4.9 Another question: I've been doing a lot of reading on filesystem/RAID levels for database use (I'm not a DB guy). I don't have a server ready for this yet, but i would like some generic recommendations on filesystem setup. I've read that mirrored stripes (0+1 or 1+0) is better overall than RAID 5. Any other tuning tips, such as block size, inode, async/sync/softupdates, etc for a partition to hold an SQL database (such as MySQL or Postgres, etc)? The tuning(7) man page seems to indicate a default block size (16k) but fewer inodes for databases. Hardware: SGI 1200, quad 18GB (RAID 1+0) drives, Compaq 4200 SmartArray controller, FreeBSD 4.9 Last question: With a good battery-backed caching controller (such as the Compaq SmartArray cards), is SoftUpdates of any use? My understanding is that SoftUpdates does in software the same sort of caching that RAID controllers would do. Am I correct or way off base? Should I mount all drives synchronous without SoftUpdates, or asynchronous with SoftUpdates, or what is the recommended choice when using real server-class SCSI RAID controllers? I am more concerned overall with higher-availability than higher-performance. Thanks in advance!

Mount SMB share on bootup
I am only 1 month along in my FreeBSD knowledge, so please forgive any wrong verbage or simple questions. In that month, I have set up a pretty sweet server that is running SSH, apache 2.x and ProFTPD. So I have gotten along pretty well. My question is my FTP server is hosting files off of a WinXP box via an SMB mount point.

Writing Device Drivers in 5.1-RELEASE
I'm trying to port the device driver for acx100 chipsets TO WORK ON FreeBSD. However, all the guides I'm finding make reference to files that apparently are no longer used such as: card_if.h device_if.h bus_if.h etc... and have been renamed to card_if.m, device_if.m, bus_if.m, etc... even though these are includes in a good number of the device driver files included with this distro. So far I just remmed out the includes of these files and am now stuck at the DEVMETHOD macro where it is not accepting functions such as device_probe, device_attach, device_detach, etc where I get an error saying ei. device_probe_desc undeclared here (not in a function). I can find no headers that define the macro or the functions. Please help!

My machine is doing ~3900 FPS on -stable (using nvidia agp), ~2800 FPS on -current (using FreeBSD agp, nvidia agp does not work on this machine under -current). I guess the debugging stuff in -current might cause some slowdown.

Then I used FreeBSD on an old (formerly dos) machine, and there wasn't really any hard drive space for anything, including games. Now that I have a reasonably new computer (running FreeBSD of course), I decided to try a few games. It didn't take me long to find the loki demo stuff. Have a look at http://www.icculus.org . It's the most extensive list of Linux games I know off, including useful links. Hardware: Athlon 1.4 GHz, Asus A7M266, 512 MB RAM, GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB, onboa rd sound CMI8738. OS : FreeBSD 4.x (currently 4.9-PRERELEASE) Here is where we are really different. I'm running 5.1 (and this means I won't be saddened if things don't work, since I knew things like this might happened when I installed it). I have an Athlon 2 GHz, 512 MB ram, GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X, and for sound, I have 'CMI9739'. Once you succeed in running direct rendering, I expect games will also run in -current. I have a dual-boot setup with -stable and -current and shared my games partition. I didn't try them all in -current, but I succeeded running Quake3 and UT2003, although UT2003 feels considerably slower than in -stable. I plan to do the same test on -current with all my games installed but don't know when :-/. I don't know what performance one should expect with a MX card, I bought a Ti version since these are faster for gaming. [snip list] Bizarre, Alien Crossfire seems to have written over Alpha Centauri, so I can't really test the sound for Alpha Centauri until I deinstall Alien Crossfire and reinstall Alpha Centauri. Soldier of Fortune, Myth II: Soulblighter and Descent 3 all require 3d accel... Reason I included sound info is that for a long time there were these sound lags which I worked around by purchasing OSS. However, OSS does not work for mmap'ed sound (Quake3 and all derivatives such as ET) so I ended up switching between the two. Currently, only two of the games (Rune and SoF) require OSS, so I'm mostly running pcm again. For the records, mmap'ed sound was also broken in FreeBSD for quite a while, around 4.2 IIRC. Generally, I'm happy with gaming performance in FreeBSD but I'm more of an occasional gamer than hardcore, and consider it a nice challenge to run them on FreeBSD ;-). It *does* add quite some instability, unfortunately, due to the beta-nature of the nvidia-drivers, but my experience is that once a game is started up it rarely crashes. I haven't checked out DRI for a long time (since replacing my Matrox G400 by Geforce4 about one year ago). Don't forget to check out the nvidia-driver FAQ: http://www.soulwax.net/nvidia/faq.shtml Hm, Can't find info about __GL_SINGLE_THREADED=1 there (maybe overlooking), but anyway you need to set it for most (if not all) Linux games to run succesfully.

Well, the old Compaqs have some quite rough edges, and 5.1R (or do you use a -current snapshot?) is also in some things not that nice... Sometimes you have to set it to NT4-OS Type. I have searched all the lists and have tried several fixes mentioned including the Full table - Mapped and OS set to Win2k in the BIOS.

The onboard SCSI is basically a Symbios one, and it was recognized without hassle. (Ok, it needs the compaq tool partition to do RAID stuff, but... well, broke it during installation) I would be willing to go with a late 4.x but it does not probe the onboard SCSI thus I have no drives. I do have a Smart Array 3200 ordered and coming - this may solve the 4.x issue, but I am puzzled by the panic with 5.x. That ist strange indeed, my box (dual PIII-500) went fine.

Otherwise, there are ports of JDK-1.4.1 available as source, which you will have to compile yourself, after jumping through all of the required hoops to get the source code. The downloading instructions you need to follow are in the port Makefile: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/java/jdk14/ As I said, no idea if this will compile correctly on NetBSD, plus (Catch 22) you will need a working JDK-1.4.1 in order to compile JDK-1.4.1 And finally, there is this: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/lang/wonka/README.html which I quite honestly had never heard of before I found it on the NetBSD site a few minutes ago and which I have no idea if it's any good or not.

RE: Mount SMB share on bootup
point is password protected (on the XP side) so I am prompted for a password. How can I automate that? Or should I create the share without a password? I am not too worried about internal security so the share could have no password and that would be fine. Create a script called whatever.sh, chmod +x 755 whatever.sh and put that script in a /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Put the following lines in that script #!/bin/sh smbmount username=user password=pass and the rest of the parametars that you are normaly using when mounting smb partition. Mind that if your startup script for samba is samba.sh your mounting script must start with a letter after the letter s otherwise you would mounting a samba share without smb daemon started. When I try the smbmount I get a command not Found I checked the man pages on mount and found mount_smbfs, but I can not find any options that would allow me to specify a username and password. I am not using Samba (at least I didn't load it... may be there by default???) - To map the drive I have a line in my /etc/fstab file that reads: # Device#Mountpoint FSType OPtion //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /ftprootsmbfs rw.nosuto 0 0 Once the server boots, I type mount /ftproot and then it asks me for the password for User. After the password is entered, /ftproot contains the contents of the share on my XP system. It was one of the things that I fell in love with about BSD - the ability to see XP shares with no special magic. So anyway - I think there are several different approaches to this. Can I modify my fstab file so that auto would work by somehow specifing a password? Or is there a password option that I am missing in the mount or mount_smbfs commands? OR... is there a reason I don't have the smbmount command?

onboard sound card problems
Not sure if Mailing.freebsd.questions is still gatewayed here (it's really low traffic now, so I'm thinking not) if it still is, sorry for the repost. From: Will Yardley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Disabling onboard sound card I have been having some problems since upgrading to 4.9 - earlier I had problems with the onboard sound card, so I switched to a PCI card which worked a lot better. Since the upgrade, FreeBSD makes the onboard card /dev/dsp0 and the PCI card /dev/dsp1. Is there any way to reverse the two devices? Do I just need to specify the device / IRQ in the kernel configuration (and if so, what exactly should I put?) aura% dmesg| grep pcm pcm0: CMedia CMI8738 port 0xb800-0xb8ff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci2 pcm1: Yamaha DS-1 (YMF724) mem 0xf100-0xf1007fff irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci2 pcm1: Asahi Kasei AK4540 AC97 Codec Is there a quick hack to disable the onboard sound or switch the two devices? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Help! Runaway NATD
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13 - GW/router/NAT/FW/Caching DNS - Bind-8.3x + IPFW(8) Have just setup the above to route mainly for a LAN (in place of hardware router), but natd runs non-stop as per TOP(1) and keeps eating up the CPU until it crashes. Takes about 1/2 hour to eat up the resources and requires a reboot -- then the problem just starts over again. Typical firewall setup used in a number of our servers which diverts to port 8668 and then the packets are redirected to limited ports on the various workstations. NATD acts like it is in a loop and rehashing the packets over and over. There is a very light load of packets flowing over the rl0 external interface. Natd is loaded in usual way. Have killed off most other daemons, but NATD keeps running as shown by TOP(1) Never seen this before. Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix it Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jack L.

Now I am new to this chassis - I don't know if I am supposed to have a blank in this empty slot - but it will not matter ot me in the long run, as I have another 9.1gb drive on its way to fill the empty spot..

Re: Mount SMB share on bootup
Lines prefixed with are what Chirhart, Brian wrote. point is password protected (on the XP side) so I am prompted for a password. How can I automate that? Or should I create the share without a password? I am not too worried about internal security so the share could have no password and that would be fine. Create a script called whatever.sh, chmod +x 755 whatever.sh and put that script in a /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Put the following lines in that script #!/bin/sh smbmount username=user password=pass and the rest of the parametars that you are normaly using when mounting smb partition. Mind that if your startup script for samba is samba.sh your mounting script must start with a letter after the letter s otherwise you would mounting a samba share without smb daemon started. When I try the smbmount I get a command not Found I checked the man pages on mount and found mount_smbfs, but I can not find any options that would allow me to specify a username and password. I am not using Samba (at least I didn't load it... may be there by default???) - To map the drive I have a line in my /etc/fstab file that reads: # Device #Mountpoint FSType OPtion //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /ftprootsmbfs rw.nosuto 0 0 Once the server boots, I type mount /ftproot and then it asks me for the password for User. After the password is entered, /ftproot contains the contents of the share on my XP system. It was one of the things that I fell in love with about BSD - the ability to see XP shares with no special magic. So anyway - I think there are several different approaches to this. Can I modify my fstab file so that auto would work by somehow specifing a password? Or is there a password option that I am missing in the mount or mount_smbfs commands? OR... is there a reason I don't have the smbmount command? You are on the right track; it took me a while to figure this one out too. You've got your /etc/fstab file set up correctly. This is how the line for me looks, it's just like yours. //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /mnt/chaos smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 To specify your username and password for the mount, you should create /etc/nsmb.conf the syntax for this file is shown in /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc Here is an example from my machine: #nsmb.conf [CHAOS] addr=10.0.3.3 [CHAOS:EDWARD] password=X Finally, to mount on bootup, create a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the following contents (or something similar; you probably didn't name your share CHAOS): [EMAIL PROTECTED] more /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.chaos.sh #! /bin/sh case $1 in start) echo Mounting CHAOS... mount /mnt/CHAOS 2 ;; stop) echo Unmounting CHAOS... umount /mnt/CHAOS 2 ;; esac Also, I make sure my /etc/nsmb.conf file is owned by root and chmod'ed 600 because it contains a password in plaintext. Don't forget to make sure that your file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is chmodded at least 700 so that it's executable by, at the very least, the owner (should be root).

I used to teach both C and C++, and now years later, am currently hard pressed to find a non-Microsoft C/C++ development position. If for personal knowledge, definitely C followed by C++. If professional, or want to behmm. In that case, I'd say it still depends more on your goals- if you're going to try to stay in *nix development, you've GOT to know C. If you don't care, or God help you, want a job doing Windows development, start with C++, and ignore all of the standard data types because MS will make their own for you ;-) Starting with C has an advantage in that you tend to have to do 'most of the work yourself' for a lot of things, which tends to help you understand more about how things work. IMHO, that also tends to make better programmers down the line, regardless of the language they use. C++ is similar, but STL will make life easier when it comes to data structures. Java I don't want to talk about ;-) A significant amount of system level programming(think system processes and services/daemons) are written in C. A fair number of applications are, but the majority of GNOME/KDE apps, if that's a consideration, are done in C++. A growing number of applications are also being done in Java, but it's not the best language to start with for understanding much of anything (you can write a half dozen lines of Java to replace perhaps 100+ in C/C++ from scratch in some cases). It isn't a bad language to learn (professional-wise as well, *groan*) after learning C or C++. Books and references- C- Already mentioned, KR 'The C Programming Language' is 'the bible.' This is also generally a lousy book to start with if you aren't programming already, but an invaluable reference. Pick up another book, wish I knew a good starter one, but it's been a while...can try Deitel and Deitel or (nobody laugh, have used it for Intro before..) the 21 days SAMs series for a 'jump-start,' and THEN the Deitel/Deitel and KR. W. Richard Stevens Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment- MUST HAVE. I may be misquoting the name, but a search on bookpool.com , bn.com (or search on amazon then BUY somewhere else!) will quickly turn it up. KR is to the C language, Stevens is to Unix programming... google search for 'Secure Unix Programming'- there's a FAQ or two out there that are pretty good once you're past 'the basics.' C++ Latest edition of Deitel/Deitel. Funny, I used to really dislike their books, but they DO provide pretty decent overall coverage. May or may not be 'too deep' at first, if so, preface with SAMs or equivalent. Stroustrup- 'The C++ Programming Language. Stroustrup write C++ but is pretty dry. Good reference and for advanced topics. Stroustrup- Annoted Reference Manual AKA 'the ARM'- what KR is to C. *The C++ Standard Library : A Tutorial and Reference- recommended pretty highly, but don't currently have. search on favorite bookstore will turn it up. *Java (before ya ask ;-) There are a LOT of bad books on Java it seems.

RE: JAIL can't FTP ports?
In addition to Rus' comments: 1) Can I use FTP to install ports or packages without going through sysinstall? Yes, and to me, this seems the smarter way to do it. You can pkg_add -r to your hearts content, or, if you want all the ports (which I prefer over packages myself), use fetch to grab the latest ports.tar.gz and unzip it. 2) If not, is there any other way to get the entire ports collection into the jail, without actually being at the console? SSH in and do the fetch I mentioned above. And if I create a jail from a system with no ports, does that mean the jail will have no ports? And if my system has the entire ports collection installed, will a new jail also have them? I do not believe (I could be wrong, I've only done jail setups once) that when you create the jail it does not install the ports tree whether its on your box or not. However, if you want to avoid the bandwidth hit of fetching the ports.tar.gz, you could copy it over from the master into the jail/ports dir. If its an old ports.tar.gz, then you can cvsup it from inside the jail...

Re: Another Newbie Question: C or C++
I need to buy a book on C or C++ to help me in FreeBSD. Which would be better to buy? If you just want to start programming in FreeBSD, Learn C as well as you can. The route I took was learning basic programming skills then reading The C Programming Language by KR, it's an excellent book if you are already very familiar with the computer and have some basic programming skills (make sure you know your c development enviroment and how to use gcc). The book is so great because not only does it teach C syntax, the examples open your mind to writing simple and efficient code in a C style, and it even has a small UNIX programming tutorial toward the end (on how to implement some of the standard library functions in a UNIX system). That book and a good familiarity with the man pages is really all you need to get started coding on FreeBSD. If you are still a little lost and really want to go on the quick route to good BSD programming, read UNIX Network Programming by W. Richard Stevens. The original edition introduces you to good fundamental knowledge of the UNIX system and archictecture (process model, system calls, and IPC) then it goes right to socket programming which is a must to know especially in this day and age. The later editions seperate the actual socket programming from the unix stuff but go intensely in depth. That's why i'm fonder of the first edition, concise and smart. I first thought a book on C would be best, because the OS is written in C. But, now I'm not sure because I read that gcc can compile C++ too (so, I'm assuming C++ must get used too). Now that you've had good practice with C and UNIX programming, learning libraries (GTK, QT, pthreads, GD to name a few) is simply a matter of reference and learning any other language else is simply a matter of syntax and style, and everything will come very easy. If you haven't learned C++ by that point just figure out what Object Oriented programming is (it'll beautify your life), get a reference book, look at some coding examples, and no sweat. Java? Perl? Python? Javascript? Visual Basic (haha)? They'll all just be minor changes in syntax and style when in comes to C/C++ (except for python, hah).

Reading non-installed man pages, etc.
I'd occassionally like to be able to read manpages from somewhere other than the MANPATH. Let me give you two concrete examples of things that I can do on linux, that I don't know how to do on FreeBSD $ man /mnt/falco3/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.bz2 $ man /home/andi/foo/doc/foo.1 In the first case, I'm looking at the manpages exported (over NFS) from a Mandrake linux box; in the second, I'm looking at the manpages for a program I'm trying to get installed. First, FreeBSD's man doesn't seem to accept a full pathname. In the first case, I can get around this with MANPATH or -M (man -M/mnt/falco3/usr/share/man ls), but in the second, that won't help. Second, FreeBSD's man doesn't handle bz2 compression. I suppose I could do something like this: $ bzcat /mnt/falco3/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.bz2 | groff -man -Tascii -mtty-char | less And I could write scripts to wrap this up (figure out whether to use bzcat, zcat, or cat; whether we're talking to a tty-char-capable terminal or something else; which charset to use; what pager to use; etc.). Basically, it'd do everything man is doing except for finding the page in the MANPATH and dealing with catfiles, which sounds like a bit of a duplication of effort. So, if this is already done somewhere, or there's an way that I've missed to make man or some other tool do what I want, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Also, I seem to remember installing GNU's *roff stuff onto a Solaris box and having a program that let me do 90% of what I want to do. The groff(1) manpage has a reference to groffer that sounds like it might be what I'm remembering, but I can't find any more information about it (or the program itself). Another alternative would be porting the GNU man (with the bzip2 patches), but I'm not sure this is a good idea (I don't know if it would require other stuff to be ported, for example; also, the name gman is already taken for a Gtk+ xman-type program). Any ideas? Thanks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Two Preinstall Questions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I have two questions before I plunge in and make my first FreeBSD install. Normally I keep a back up copy of all my data in a ReiserFS formated partion on my hard drive. When I do a Linux Distribution install I will reformat the non back up partions and then restore my data by copying from the backup partion. Will I be able to do this with my FreeBSD install? Will FreeBSD be able to mount and read write data from this Linux Reiserfs formated partion? My second question is hardware related. Is the Logitech 4000 Pro USB Web camera supported in FreeBSD? Thanks very much for your help. - -- Ralph ** Libranet Linux: version 2.8.1 2.4.21 kernel ralphfdewitt on Yahoo and Aim, ralphdewitt on Jabber Signed and Encrypted Mail Encouraged ** -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/sGDOu29DXA3iCF0RAnSSAJ9avbYViii80EPOhEoSW750ysMf1ACfdlwo yvUMwalj/dJz73MnHH8SVxw= =HuSF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
