Monitoring X.21 lines
Hi, I recently built a box running FreeBSD 5.1, with a Digi Sync 570 card in it to connect my X.21 clients. I've finally got it working, and would like to know if anybody knows of a package that could be used to monitor the individual lines. I've used MRTG with SNMP to monitor some of my other routers before. I'd like to know how I might do this or an alternative solution to monitoring/managing the lines on the box. Thanks in advance.

So for 10 pnt at 75 dpi I'd certainly use a non-serif font; and for 12 pnt at 120 I'd certainly use a serif font. I like to work at 120dpi on a monitor that pretty much resolves the pixels and then my first choice is 'nimbus mono l'. It is actually coded as a proportional font but is in fact mono-spaced.

RE: unrecognized hardware with 5.1 and Dell 1750
On Sun, 16 Nov 2003, Jackie S. McCracken wrote: Kent and Olaf, thank you for the suggestions! I believe that the root of the problem is the ServerWorks GC LE chipset. Hi! Well, I just installed a 1750 a few weeks before under 4.9-prerelease, running fine. I forgot to mention that the system reports during initial startup that the Host to PCI bridge chipset is unrecognized which leads me to believe that it cannot see the NIC interface at all which is integrated into the motherboard. It is initialized ok, at least for 4.9. The PCI ID is unknown to FreeBSD, so it cannot display the right name in dmesg, but anything else works. This is one of Dell's newest servers and I'm feeling that the hardware is just newer than what FreeBSD supports and I need some help working out the issue. Well, not really. It is fully supported by FreeBSD 4.9-R, 5.1R is a bit older. Basically the drivers will work, but due to the fact that they do not know the PCI ID of the onboard NIC, the chips are not initialized. I have a Dell 1650 (recently discontinued model) running just great at the moment and I'm checking to see what the differences in the motherboards are other than the 1750 is about twice as much server speed wise and will supply that info shortly. Any help would be extremely appreciated, I am not a programmer but a test engineer by trade and I want to see FreeBSD take its rightful place as THE open source operating system and I'm pushing it as hard as I can to our customers.

Re: C
Can anyone tell the name of the package that contain the C, something simillar to Borland C++ in windows... You can use the newer version of gedit. It supports a highlight mode for several languages like C, html, java, etc... It basicly makes gedit work like you are in an ide by coloring variables, making key words bold, making commits italic and a different color and so on. Yes, gedit is not bad at all! My favorite is still emacs. It features syntax-highlighting and auto-indenting for a _lot_ of programming languages. This comes for free, even if you don't like to configure your ~/.emacs file extensively. A slightly more advanced user will know how to configure emacs to behave just like a (text-based) IDE, which means that you can compile (with cc) from within emacs, and have the compiler error messages drive the cursor to the right place in the source file, etc, etc... The reason I like emacs so much, is that you can (also) use it in a text console, but it still provides the ability to edit multiple source files simultaneously in internal buffers; something that is _really_ useful in multi-file projects. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

promise ata controler - raid 1 - sync problems!
Hi I have a machine in a very weird state. It contains only two 80Gb ATA disks connected to a Promise RAID controller, which has them as two submirrors of a RAID 1 volume, upon which the freebsd filesystem and swap are located. It was operating on only one drive for a while, and then the machine suffered a power outage. After we got it up again the promise controller decided both drives were dodgy and the machine stopped functioning. The guy who built the PC went to have a look at it and deleted the mirror in the bios and re-created it again, and called me to say everything is fine. Only problem now is that most of the data is way out of date, presumably was on the first disk to be failed by the promise controller. But weirdly, /etc and /var seem to be recent, but /usr is very old. And whenever I try and write anything to /usr, after a while the machine panics and reboots itself. It took about 45 minutes to do an automatic fsck just now after one such reboot. Basically I want to know how I can re-sync the mirror properly so that things are in order again. I would also like some idea as to how the chip decides which disk to read it's data from (is it random?) Can this be fixed remotely? Or does it require going back to Bios to remove and delete a disk and add it again or something?

Upgrading perl modules (as ports) and already installed problems
Howdy, I'm looking for the appropriate portupgrade magic to handle these sorts of situations automatically: You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of www/p5-HTML-Tagset without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. This happens when upgrade perl modules ports a /lot/ for me. As I use HTML::Mason on my production web sites, this makes a Perl upgrade a lengthy and error-prone manual operation. As an example of what I currently do, take the upgrade to perl 5.8.2. After portupgrading it, apache will not restart as mod_perl is in the 5.8.1 dir. Thus I'd do a `portupgrade -f mod_perl` and it will do it's thing until it encounters a sub-port that gives the above error message. Then I'd do a `cd port_dir make deinstall make reinstall portupgrade -f mod_perl`. Repeat for the next perl module. Whats the best way to ensure that all perl modules are properly and automatically upgrade when perl itself is upgraded? -T -- There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life.

i recently had a small child (my daughter) jump into my lap while drinking a mr. pibb which then ended up pouring almost directly into my old keyboard. while i have attemtpted to clean that keyboard out (washed it thoroughly), i'm still waiting for it to dry before testing it. so, in the mean time, i thought i'd go ahead and get a new keyboard. since staples and the other local computer stores don't carry my keyboard of choice, i settled for the next best thing, which was the logitech MX duo (which is the logitech elite wireless keyboard and the MX700 mouse). both of these work perfectly in windows, even through my KVM (an IoGear miniview USB KVM model G-CS104U). but, when i use the KVM to switch to the freebsd box, it notices the USB devices like this... uhub3: Texas Instruments TUSB2046 hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 2 uhub3: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/21.00, addr 3, class 3/1 kbd0 at ukbd0 ums0: Logitech USB Reveiver, rev 1.10/21.00, addr 3, class 3/1 ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir then, the keyboard will work, although it has a tendency to feel laggy and sometimes repeats letters if i'm typing quickly, and the mouse doesn't work at all. so... i need to figure out why the keyboard is laggy to begin with (even though it is perfectly responsive in windows) and why the mouse doesn't even show up. thanks in advance... ;D kirt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re[2]: newbie dns mess w/ nic
Ahh, but the line in rc.conf should be like that: defaultrouter=192.158.0.1 Thanks for the follow up Dmitry. Right now I've got the typo'd line commented out on /etc/rc.conf and am accomplishing this with the line I apologize for this corrupted info that I sent. 1. what's the difference between these two commands, e.g. are they interchangable in this case? The difference is the syntax. In rc.conf, the entry is pulled into an external program and executed as a name/value pair. When run at the command line (or within a script), you are actually running the route program directly, and passing it the parameters 'add', 'default' and 'IP'. They can not be interchanged. 2. other than the potential for a race condition (if that's even the right way to put it) is there anything better about establishing dns routing in rc.conf than in the rc.d exec on restart? I don't know for sure. I have with some of our client FBSD routers, added routes from within the rc.d directory after initializing VPN tunnels, which worked fine. I've never tested the default route from there though. **3. how the heck do I give my fbsd box a name on my lan? this has been bugging me for a few days now What type of name? DNS? If so, add the following to your rc.conf file, before the IP address gets assigned: hostname=mybox.mydomain.com Make an entry in DNS for this name, with it's ip, or add the IP/name pair in the 'hosts' file on each box that needs to see it.

FreeBSD-5.1 on Thinkpad 600 - cbb0 problems
Hi - I have an IBM Thinkpad 600 (no letter after the 600) which I have recently installed FreeBSD-5.1 onto via CD-ROM. When booting the system, there are several lines logged to /var/log/messages which are troubling. I believe that these messages are at the root of why none of my PCMCIA cards function. Ideally, I'd like to get my NIC (3CCFE575CT-D) working. The messages observed are: pci0: PCI bus on pcib0 cbb0: TI1250 PCI-CardBus Bridge mem 0x2130100-0x21301fff at device 2.0 on pci0 cardbus0: CardBus bus on cbb0 pccard0: 16-bit PCCARD bus on cbb0 cbb: Unable to map IRQ... device_probe_and_attach: cbb0: attach returned 12 A similar set of lines is output for cardbus1. Somewhat later in the log I also see these lines: unknown: PNP0303 can't assign resources (port) unknown: IBM3780 can't assign resources (irq) unknown: PNP0700 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0c02 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0400 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0071 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0e03 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0680 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0680 can't assign resources (port) I have not placed anything into /etc/pccard.conf nor have I build a custom kernel. I have used this same set of hardware with a few different Linux variations, including Knoppix and Mandrake. I have tried running pccardd -d by hand, found that nothing is output to the screen and it quickly terminates with a status 1. I also observe that /dev/card* don't exist. My questions are: 1) Does anyone else have an IBM Thinkpad 600 working with any pccards, and if so what magic did you find necessary? 2) Can anyone provide suggestions/pointers given the log information shown? 3) What other information should I provide for people to be able to better help me?

Strange problem with Floppy Drive
I have an AMD K6 based system with almost everything on ultra-wide, ultra-fast SCSI. The exceptions are video, sound and floppy disk. The IDE floppy disk works fine if, for example, I boot from it on this machine. Further, I have removed it and tested it on a Windows 2K system, where it works just fine. However, when I boot FreeBSD (version 5.1), I get the following messages in dmseg: fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (1 ports) fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (1 ports) fdc0: cannot reserve I/O port range (6 ports) and, of course, the floppy isn't available. Any suggestions about what may be wrong here and how to go about making it work? Floppy drives are inexpensive, and I don't mind getting a new one if there's something wrong with the hardware, but I don't understand why it works on other systems and why the same system can boot from it.

I used XOSL as my boot manager, because I had used it before and I knew it was as easy to uninstall as it was to install, and if you uninstall XOSL your master boot record, MBR, is restored. What I did was this : I installed XOSL through windows, and after it was working I installed FreeBSD on the 4.3 GB hard drive. The instalation process was easy. When asked which boot manager to install for FreeBSD you have three options, 1 - install the FreeBSD boot manager 2 - install a standard MBR (no boot manager) 3 - leave the master boot record untouched I selected install a standard MBR. XOSL can tell you have more than one boot record, and use it to boot the system. After installing FreeBSD I made sure that both my hard drives were bootable and configured XOSL to present me with an option of which OS to boot. It is easy to configure the boot manager, and it worked the first time I tried. The FreeBSD boot record is istalled only in one hard drive. You might want to check it out. I think it is the easyest way to have a dual boot system.

Big problem with Compaq 5i RAID controller....
We are using FreeBSD 4.8R on Compaq DL380-G3's with the built on 5i RAID controllers. These machines are under heavy load with our anti-spam software (based on SpammAssassin). What is going on is, every few days one of the servers (which ever is under the most load) just stops responding. I am not getting any kernel panics nor is there anything in the logs to tell me what is going on. I have left top running and it will stay running when the other consoles become unresponsive. This leads me to believe that the RAID controller is going out to lunch. Does anyone have any idea how I can get around this problem?

Also take into consideration the fact that, unless your office is very well funded, you're probably don't have the newest equipment. If this is the case, you could consider running all the desktops as local thin clients. When a user logs in, they're really just logging in remotely to an application server where all the real work work is done. Advantages: - you only have to regularly maintain the application servers - outdated hardware works just fine for the thin clients as everything is run on the server - users access their data and do their work from any machine (also reduces my machine syndrome common in some workplaces) Disadvantages: - Allowing users to save things to floppy or CD could be slightly problematic (ditto for playing video and sound) - if all 40 desktops are in the same office/area, you'll probably have to set up more than one application servers and work out a solution for load-balancing and keeping them in sync - if your users use large apps like OpenOffice, you might need pretty hefty servers, especially in the memory department. However, it will still be less memory than what would be required to run OpenOffice locally on all 40 machines The client/server approach may not end up being the best solution for your specific situation, but at least it's something to think about.

Resolved: How to Handle Stale Dependencies in pkgdb -F
Lee Harr wrote: Is docbook-3.0_2 still registered as installed on your system? I think that is the one it is looking for. It is possible that when upgrading one of the others, that one was removed inadvertently. No, it is not registered as installed. As a matter of fact, none of the docbooks mentioned are installed except dockbook-xsl-1.62.3. In addition, the sgmlformat port is not installed either. I always understood that stale dependencies indicated that a change was necessary. In this situation, the 6 dependencies in question, including the port itself, weren't even registered or installed yet. I just feel that something is missing here. However, I think I'm ready to move on to the next step which is how to respond to the prompt: New dependency? (? to help) : If you hit ?, you'll see: [Enter] to skip, [Ctrl] + [D] to delete, [.][Enter] to abort, [Tab] to complete. I looked at the R-deps listed with the port description and they also correspond to the 6 shown above. As a result, I feel confident that they should be registerd and installed with the port and not the one pkgdb suggests, dockbook-xsl-1.62.3. I assume that I can delete dockbook-xsl-1.62.3, but is that what [Ctrl]+[D] will accomplish? In other words, does new dependency refer to the dependent that it sees as the closest match, dockbook-xsl-1.62.3, or the one that is recorded by the port, docbook-3.1_2? Which would I be deleting? Not sure. Good question though :o) I think there are 2 possibilities: - delete the dependency on docbook-3.1_2 (not the package itself) - delete the entire entry for sgmlformat I am pretty sure that nothing you do at that prompt will affect docbook-xsl in any way. (other than to create a dependency on it) My sense is that it would delete the dependency. In other words, you would be saying sgmlformat no longer depends on docbook-3.1_2 and there is no dependency to replace it In your case, where none of these things are in your package database, I think you have to decide if these are packages you require, and if so, start rebuilding and reinstalling them to recreate their entries. Otherwise, you could pkg_deinstall the one that is giving you problems and move on. I just started using portupgrade myself (after a couple of years of doing these things by hand *erk*) so maybe someone else will chime in and let us know if we are on the right track. Lee, I think you were on the right track from the beginning. The program found sgmlformat-1.7_2 but couldn't locate the dependents it was pointing to so it suggested it's own, dockbook-xsl-1.62.3. Should have focused on the docbook ports at that point. I simply couldn't deal with the idea that installing the docbook dependents would help when the main port, sgmlformat-1.7_2, hadn't been installed yet. Furthermore, I was simply too focused on resolving the issue by using the New dependency prompt. I installed the docbook ports (ran docbook-1.2_1 and the rest followed as deps), followed by pkgdb -F, and everything was OK. Thanks again for your help.

Backup Server
Greetings, I have an NT 4 server that I wish to back its data up to a FreeBSD box running Samba. The thought being that since I cannot back all the NT 4 data up to one tape (24GB compressed), that I could back it up every other night. The nights it didn't go to tape, it would go to the Freebsd box. Should I use Freebsd 4.x or 5.x ? The disk drives in the to be installed FreeBSD box are SCSI. Should I use Vinum ? Just curious about others thoughts before I start setting it up. thanks, -D ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One of the primary requirements is OpenOffice-1.1 and I've always run it locally on my laptop. I'm considering running it over the LAN which would mean that I suppose that I would NFS mount the binary and do the network install. Could someone who has done this tell me if they recommend running it on the network or if it would be better to just install it on each of the 40 machines. This company and every user, uses Office daily, especially excel. I've never done this, but OpenOffice is such a large application that this might not be such a swell idea. On my Athlon 750 with U2W SCSI, OpenOffice 1.1 takes 20 seconds to load from the hard disk. I couldn't guess how long it would take trying to pull it over the network, but I'm sure it would be a lot longer. Also take into consideration the fact that, unless your office is very well funded, you're probably don't have the newest equipment. If this is the case, you could consider running all the desktops as local thin clients. When a user logs in, they're really just logging in remotely to an application server where all the real work work is done. I would love to do that, but I have no idea where to start although Adrian was kind enough to send be a couple of links, I'm not sure I get it yet. If you have any other tips/links etc. they would sure be appreciated. Advantages: - you only have to regularly maintain the application servers - outdated hardware works just fine for the thin clients as everything is run on the server - users access their data and do their work from any machine (also reduces my machine syndrome common in some workplaces) Sounds great to me in my ignorance.:-) Disadvantages: - Allowing users to save things to floppy or CD could be slightly problematic (ditto for playing video and sound) - if all 40 desktops are in the same office/area, you'll probably have to set up more than one application servers and work out a solution for load-balancing and keeping them in sync - if your users use large apps like OpenOffice, you might need pretty hefty servers, especially in the memory department. However, it will still be less memory than what would be required to run OpenOffice locally on all 40 machines The client/server approach may not end up being the best solution for your specific situation, but at least it's something to think about. I've always heard good things from those who've implemented similar solutions in their organizations. Thanks, Charles.

Re: FreeBSD-5.1 on Thinkpad 600 - cbb0 problems
Hi - I have made some progress on my own with this, but not complete progress. What I have done is: 1) build a customer kernel with make buildkernel KERNCONF=OLDCONF 2) create /etc/pccard.conf with one line irqTAB9 3) swap the 3CCFE575CT-D for a 3C589C card. Now then, what are my remaining problems? A) If I remove and insert the card after it has been configured, the system hangs forever. B) If I kill and start the pccardd process, it is unable to assign an IRQ. So, with this further information, does anyone have further suggestions? It would be nice to have the 10/100 (3c575) card work, and I have a feeling that I should be worried about using IRQ 9.

Now the DVD drive works in DMA mode rather than PIO, and writes to DVD+RW at 3.1 MB/s or about as fast as my SCSI CD-ROM can read out the FBSD 5.1 image. Neat. Alas, I still have no clue how to convince the DVD-RAM disk to cooperate. Any thoughts? Cheers, Stefan -- Stefan A.

Re: Changing a company from 100% Windows to 100% FreeBSD.
On Mon, 17 Nov 2003 06:27:25 -0800 Lee Mx [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am switching about 40 desktop's running different versions of windows over to freebsd. One of the primary requirements is OpenOffice-1.1 and I've always run it locally on my laptop. I'm considering running it over the LAN which would mean that I suppose that I would NFS mount the binary and do the network install. Could someone who has done this tell me if they recommend running it on the network or if it would be better to just install it on each of the 40 machines. This company and every user, uses Office daily, especially excel. Bandwidth is the first thing that comes to mind when having it installed on a NFS server and having every body run it from there... If you are going to go this way, my suggestion, if you wish to go this route, is use a gigabit ethernet card that has atleast one gigabit port on it. Still then the thought sort of scares me. Also if anyone has any other suggestions that would simplify anything in the chain from the initial installation to periodic upgrading, it would be highly appreciated. I'm planning on having a central server that will be cvsuping updated sources and ports daily, making world and portupgrade -Rruap periodically. I plan to NFS mount /usr/ports and not have local copies to not have to update them. I'm thinking that I could then, fairly easily upgrade the other machines by just installing the packages when needed. It could also serve as a local repository for updating the operating system or I suppose that I could also NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj and do an installworld to upgrade, too. Again any opinions, observations or suggestion are highly appreciated. I've never changed 100% to FreeBSD before :-) Becareful with port auto updates. I have had portupgrade occasionally break a few things, mainly gnome, that required I go back in and do some sym linking to fix. Could be a good idea to have a system dedicated to testing upgrades... Another thing that comes to mind that could be real handy for when updating is to have one system used soley for building and then have the rest fetch it off that... can't think of any way to automate that thought. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

kernel build failure
I am trying to build a new kernel on 4.9.release. I cvsup'ed the latest ports and soureces right before I tried the kernel build. I followed the handbook, and when I typed /usr/sbin/config FIREWALL (name of kernel config), I received the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] conf]# /usr/sbin/config FIREWALL ../../conf/files: coda/coda_fbsd.c must be optional, mandatory or standard Your version of config(8) is out of sync with your kernel source. What does this mean? Do I need to upgrade config(8), how do you do that? I checked the man page, but it didn't provide any insight.
