still about Newbie USB Printer Problem
Hello. I read the previous post "Newbie USB Printer Problem" and its follow-ups, well, I am more "newbie" than him:). Now I wish to connect my Canon S400SP printer with my Thinkpad 600X notebook (running 5.1-RELEASE), since I never printed anything with FreeBSD before, 1. Do I need a specific filter for the printer to print graphic? 2. Looking into the ports, it seems most Canon printer filters are for Bubble Jet printers. I think my printer is not Bubble Jet because the printer's manual didn't say so. So is there a filter for my printer at all? Thank you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's function which generate md5 password, maybe it will be helpful.
I am not sure for 100% if this script always provide diff. password
and maybe someone can improve it :)
You may check work at http://bids.tomsk.ru/passwd.php
echo crypt_passwd("F5k");
function crypt_passwd($passwd_tmp) {
mt_srand((double) microtime()*100);
$e=pack("cCcCCccC", mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand(),
mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand(), mt_rand());
$enc12=base64_encode($e);
$enc8="";
for ($i=2; $i<=9; $i++) $enc8=$enc8.$enc12[$i];
$passwd_crypted=crypt($passwd_tmp,$enc8);
return $passwd_crypted;
}
To my mind you'd get salt from master.passwd and than encrypt plain
password using that salt and then compare.

make vs. pkg_add
Hi all, Not that I expect to be swayed one way or the other here, but... I'm curious to see what other users think of using either the 'make' commands or 'pkg_add' for compiling and installing software. I'm admittedly a bit of a newbie, and I've tried it both ways, after CVSup-ing the source and ports of course. In most cases 'pkg_add' seems to work better, but the problem solver in me wants to see 'make all install clean' and its brethren work at least once. Am I to understand that 'make' and its accompanying command options will download source, dependencies, needed libs, et al. while compiling, building, and installing just like 'pkg_add' does? I'm probably doing something wrong such that 'make' isn't playing nice, but I'd still appreciate some further insight from more experienced users.

Hi. I'm having some trouble with my server. It's running FreeBSD 4.7 and there's a website on it that's using PHP/MySQL. The last three nights in a row, it has been crashing...

That's not exactly red-handed, it's just not too long afterwards. I don't think you're going to find a simple answer to this one. If I had this problem, I'd probably build a kernel with special code to recognize opens on this file (so that you can get the address of the file table) and writes to it (though this may be redundant). The code would enter the kernel debugger or maybe just panic, depending on the environment. That way you'd really catch the culprit red-handed. An alternative might depend on knowledge of what the file does. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Unfortunately, the name of the program ran by P(u) is unknown. Being a newbie I'm going against my better judgement by offering my thoughts. The problem though sounds too interesting to pass up. I'd think the failsafe way to approach this is with a wrapper so that when process P accesses file F it's really accessing W(F), i.e. a software wrapper which would then emulate F, only since W's a pgm it can also log the activity as well as reply to P with basically whatever you want it to reply with. Would ln(1) be able to serve as the setup for W? I've only done soft links for directory aliasing on websites. So I don't know if you can get away with e.g. having a shebang line on top W and expect it to execute; if you could work it that way though you'd be golden afaict. Rereading this I realize for W to work it'd also have to be able to know who P is, i.e. the process and what it was wanting to do so it could emulate it. Or is there a way to just have W pass F on to P after logging the activity? And why do I suddenly crave a bowl of alphabet soup? BTW isn't this the basic concept behind jail(8), only you'd be jailing a file rather than a process? Just my two cents, hope it's worth it.

Polling /path/to/a/file with stat(), lstat(), fstat(), and running a ps(1) as soon as the access times change; then diff(1) on all ps listings, trying to identify P(u). This solution is not good enough, because P(u) runs faster than the polling interval, and setting this polling interval to very small values is too expensive on a production server. 2. NFS mounting /path/to/a/file, and modifying nfsd(1) in such a way, that it runs ps(1) as soon as a request for /path/to/a/file is received. Let's call the modified nfsd nfsd-debug. Of course debug-nfsd and P(u) must run on the same machine. This is not good enough either, because ps(1)-listing is too long, and not always conclusive. 3. Using kqueue(2) and kevent(2) in a monitoring process P(m). P(m) would be attached to /path/to/a/file, and would use kevent(2) to receive kernel notifications as soon as /path/to/a/file is touched. Probably not enough either, because it is not possible to know which process triggered the event, only that an event occured on that vnode. -> Is that correct? I'm not familiar enough with kevent(2). Question: = I assume that some kind of monitoring process P(m) is needed, which would attach to /path/to/a/file, use kevent(2) to get notifications from the kernel. Now, how could P(m) find out, which process generated the events it gets? Alternative question: = Is there another, preferably clever, way to solve this problem?

I dislike IDE and tend ot avoid it like the plague when possible, but: 1. The 'generic' removeable drive trays for IDE that use a normal IDE controller (like attaching to the slave or secondary channel on most onboard IDE), with another disk or device attached that's being used, do not support removeable devices. It's _extremely_ likely that you'll hang the IDE bus. 2. Having mentioned #1 already, it's _possible_ that using a secondary controller (unsure if this can be the second channel of onboard or not, but NOT simply the slave of a given channel with another device), and atacontrol, it appears (no, I have not tried this), you can bring the controller itself (or channel?) offline, attach or remove the drive, and then reattach it. I'd like to hear more details on this one myself, and may have a system I can test it on if I get too bored, but have long ago chucked my IDE trays.. 3. Using one of the relatively inexpensive IDE RAID controllers, with an enclosure, should allow you to remove and add drives without issues. 4. Other ideas- backup to a single network fileserver equipped with RAID or additional drives for backup only. other network system- direct to tape USB hard drive caddies- have seen these, but not used, converts IDE drives to USB device, can re-use existing IDE drives for backup via USB port.

Hmmm. Power options made sense, but unfortunately didn't make a difference. I tried booting into "without ACPI" mode. Same thing. Tried disabling all power features in CMOS. Same thing. I originally thought it was a KDE thing, as the behaviour started after I typed "startx". Further tests showed it was just a timing issue. The screensaver is fine for the first 2 minutes after bootup, then it gets weird. Maybe its my bios/cpu/motherboard combo. This is the same system that refused to work with mplayer...

Re: FreeBSD, FHS, and /mnt/cdrom
On Nov 21, 2003, at 9:41 AM, Frank Murphy wrote: The folks at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) are discussing (again) where directories for recurring temporary mount points should go. Recurring temporary mount points are for things like cdroms, floppies, and digital cameras as well as HD partitions from other OSes (like MS Windows). Red Hat started putting these in /mnt (e.g. /mnt/cdrom), but that totally breaks compatibility with the BSDs, which have specified /mnt as an empty directory for ad hoc temporary mounts. SuSE has started putting these in /media, and now folks on the FHS list would like to know what people in the BSDs' communities would prefer. /mnt should be reserved as a default temporary mount point-- it's silly to risk breaking existing tools or procedures. Anyway, I suggest you solicit feedback from Solaris users and possibly MacOS X people as well. Solaris features vold (implied by wanting to use /vol), and the latter OS places temporary removable mountpoints under /Volumes. I happen to think that OS X handles things well from a user interface standpoint-- the Finder in Panther with Miller column display and an eject symbol next to the volume name, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. Frank, is your group's standard concerned about physical volume names, logical volume names intended for human identification/access, or both? Physical device names ought to have unit numbers or even be part of a tree-like device hierarchy-- for instance, what does /cdrom refer to in a machine with two CD-ROM devices? Human-readable names also run the risk of two removable devices having the same name; people are happy seeing a list containing duplicate names (eg, particularly if one name has a CDROM icon next to it, and the other has a floppy or USB pen icon :-), but that doesn't tell you what to do with your filesystem hierarchy layout. Obviously, a standard that says "place mount points anywhere you want" isn't very useful. But if you did come up with a standard, who should follow it and what would they gain? -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Usually, the answer to your question would be: use xargs or put the

DON'T use these lines unless you're absolutely sure your find will

Seriously, the best thing you can do is just run the 'file listing' or
'data portion' of any command you're going to pipe together (or use
-exec, xargs, redirection) by ITSELF, to make sure you're getting the
expected results, sanity check the results, and THEN using command
history, bring up the same command and wrap it in backticks or add the
-exec or | xargs clause to it.
Consider the following, and what would happen if BOTH were executed blindly:
find /tmp -name "jre*" -exec rm {} \;
OK, life's happy, remove all jre* files in the /tmp heirarchy.
find / tmp -iname "jre.*" -exec rm {} \;
Oops, accidently put a space between / and tmp. Hope you didn't
actually WANT a working Java/jre on your system!
Sane way:
find /tmp -name "jre*"
check results
If OK, then use the SAME EXACT COMMAND via shell command line editing,
and just wrap or add to it:
find /tmp -name "jre*" -exec rm -f {} \;

I don't think that's really going to work. You can configure a slave
server to do domain transfers on alternate ports, but that's about it.
Everything else expects DNS servers to answer on port 53. You'ld be
better off adding an alias address to the server and making each
server bind each to it's own address. Don't know about rbldnsd(8),
but for bind9 you can put entries like this within the options{}
section of named.conf:
listen-on {
127.0.0.1;
12.34.56.78;
};
query-sourceaddress 12.34.56.78 port 53;
transfer-source 12.34.56.78 port 53;
notify-source 12.34.56.78 port 53;
(Nb. you can change the port number that bind uses in the 'listen-on'
statement but as I said above, there's not a great deal of use in
doing that)
See file:///usr/local/share/doc/bind9/arm/Bv9ARM.html for details.

Matthew

Re: newbie: to pipe the result of a program as commandlineparameter for another.
You can use:
find [whatever] -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
or
find [whatever] | xargs rm -rf
Usually, the answer to your question would be: use xargs or put the
second command between apostrophes. Something like:
vi `which mozilla`
I think if you use rm -rf `find [whatever]` it might work..
DON'T use these lines unless you're absolutely sure your find will
return exactly what you want.. rm -rf is the most destructive Unix
command, so if you don't know what you're doing, maybe you should wait a
couple of months until you do. :)
Read the man pages for rm, find and xargs so you can understand this.

Of course, you can have the DNS admins add more host names, but all host names would point to the same IP. Now assume that an IP packet arrives at your host. The server that gets this IP packet cannot determine which host name was used. All it sees is your IP address, which is always the same. However, a protocol that runs on top of TCP could have the client add the host name that is required. A good example of this is HTTP/1.1, which includes a "Host: " header. Let's assume that a web browser selects http://one.pukruppa.net/ http://two.pukruppa.net/ [...] and you have a web server running on your host, which is configured with these VirtualHosts. The web server will receive packets destined to your single IP (213.146.114.24), but it still can switch to the correct VirtualHost section by examining the 'Host: ' header of the HTTP protocol. Unfortunately, very few protocols that run on top of TCP support this. Don't expect FTP, Telnet, SSH etc... to behave differently, depending on the host name. They just don't see it, only the (always identical) IP address. -- 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]"

That would be /etc/make.conf -- the PERL_VER and PERL_VERSION
variables ultimately control this behaviour. Set these correctly in
/etc/make.conf by re-running "use.perl port".
However, the values in make.conf only have an effect at compile time,
so if you want all of your perl modules to live under
/usr/local/lib/perl5/{,site_perl/}5.8.2 then you're going to have to
reinstall all of the ports that put files into %%SITE_PERL%% as well
as installing the updated version of perl.

$SUBJECT is what Fedora Linux thought about my hd after install of FreeBSD 5.1. (freebsd)fdisk shows: Windows on ad0s1 ,NTFS, 4G Linux on ad0s2 ext2(actually ext3), 6G FreeBSD on ad0s3, 6G extended, ads04, rest of windows 3G First i installed windows, than linux(Fedora). ads03 prepared for FreeBSD, created by Partition Magic, as vfat partition. Everything worked smoothly until i installed FreeBSD 5.1 into ad0s3. I've chosen not to touch MBR, do not install boot loader. After reboot i've got the same menu i saw when install of FreeBSD 5.1 started: 7 options , daemon on the right. My grub menu from Linux install is gone. Not a chance to boot something else. So i tried to install grub port and write his config into mbr. But grub can't find (hd0). Setup of grub failed. Partition table was rewriten by FreeBSD? So i tried to boot into Linux, reinstall it or repair it. But you see $subject. It could not install, because "no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystem". Of course linux says it can be repaired, but warning about "all data will be lost", make me nervous ;-). So i tried to reinstal 5.1 and this time in option about bootloader i chose FreeBSD bootloader. After install I have menu: F1 dos F2 linux F3 freebsd Looks good, but i can't boot linux. Reaction to F2 is only long beep. At least my wife's windows are back ;-). Could you suggest please: - how could i cram these 3 OS's on one 20G disk and boot all of them? - should i install freebsd under 8G and than add linux? Maybe someone with enough time and patience could explain to me, why i have so often problems with CHS after installing FreeBSD? ;-) In previous installs Partition Magic 7 used to warn me about something incorrect in my partition table always, when there was FreeBSD(sorry, i don't have exact text of message). Thank you very much for your time, if you are reading this line ;-)). -- *ico beke* freebsd(at)beke.info ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Prototype system
Hi People, I have built a FreeBSD 5.1-REL box with all the stuff I want. Now I need to use this box as a prototype to create several other boxes. I am thinking about how to go about this. What I'd like to achieve is a situation where I make CD (which is a copy of this box, with all the apps) and then use that CD to build/install other boxes, and all I have to do is a few config changes and get a new server. If I could mount that CD as an ISO image and just install from it that would be great! Any good suggestions appreciated. -Wash -- |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 + Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crud. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Perl configuration
I decided that I did not want perl 5.8.1 directory hanging around on my box, so I hosed the directories referring to it. That did not look quite suicidal though, since I though thet everything is configurable. Now the only thing I'd like is to change the perl configuration - I don't want any appls I run to try including 5.8.1 in their search paths, but which file do I edit?

I don't get. Can you specify the directories? A "group" cannot have a "his home" directory. A user can. Directories can be assigned group access though and it therefore means it's accessible by a "group", not just a single "user", no? -Wash -- |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 + You're never too old to become younger. -- Mae West smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
FBSD 5.1 and 4.8 sharing the same /home (and /var) possible?
Hi folks, I have a 5.1R install working and would like to keep a fall-back 4.8R on my system as well. From both, I want to be able to use the same /home, /scratch, and, possibly, /var or at least /var/mail to avoid duplication of mail. To be nice on my disks, I also ponder sharing swap space such that the system does not swap to its own system disk (i.e. 5.1R would swap to da0, da2 and da3, 4.8R to da0, da1 and da3) - this seems to work. The rough disk layout is da0 - OS/2 BSD Swap da1 - BSD 5.1R / BSD 5.1R swap BSD 5.1R /tmp BSD 5.1R /var BSD 5.1R /usr da2 - BSD 4.8R / BSD 4.8R swap BSD 4.8R /tmp BSD 4.8R /var BSD 4.8R /scratch BSD 4.8R /usr da3 BSD 5.1R swap BSD 5.1R /home (63 GB) Maybe I'll add another 18 or 36 GB disk for /scratch and /backup space. Now, as per default, the 5.1R install uses ufs2 throughout, the 4.8 one ufs1. Poking around google I am led to believe that this is not free of potential for trouble. So, here are my questions, before shooting myself in the foot (a) Is it OK to have the slices to be shared on ufs2, or will 4.8R wreck havoc when accessing those (or, better: just not be able to see them) (b) If ufs2 is not OK for use on both systems, are there any things to consider when making them ufs1? I suppose I would have to backup, newfs -O1, and restore the /var slice on da1, or is it advisable to just make /var/mail a symlink to some separate ufs1 /mail slice? (c) Will the background file system checks introduced with 5.x still work on these ufs1 slices? Any thoughts, warings, pointers & hints are most welcome!
