If you're willing to build from the source tree, the
buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/reboot/installworld/mergemaster route
is actually quite reliable.  I just upgraded a 4.6 box to 4.9 a couple of
days ago, remotely with no serial console, cdrom, or floppy, without a
hitch.

howto upgrade 4.8 to 4.9 without cdrom or floppy?

2003-12-11 Thread paul van den bergen
Hi...

on freebsd-hackers, Alfred Perlstein posted a method that allows 
boot-disk-less installation... but it requires mdconfig, a 5.1 utility...

is there a method to do this under 4.8?

it seems to me that the job performed by md0 could be done with vn0
e.g.

do 
# ls /dev/vn*
if empty do
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV vn0
# ./MAKEDEV vn1
# vnconfig vn0 /path/to/freebsd/4.9.iso
# mount_cd9660 /dev/vn0c /path/to/freebsd4.9

or however you access the freebsd install iso disk
the point being to get access to the /floppies/boot.flp image on the cdrom

# vnconfig vn1 /path/to/freebsd4.9/floppies/boot.flp
# mkdir /bootfloppy
# mount_mfs /dev/vn1c /bootfloppy/
# cp /bootfloppy/kernel.gz /ikernel.gz
# cp /bootfloppy/mfsroot.gz /mfsroot.gz

then reboot as described...

I am about to try this out... wish me luck!

The script can start a program under a different user if it wants.
Many of the standard ones do so, typically using su(1).

(solved) Powering off after shutdown...

2003-12-11 Thread ander Sendzimir
Okay:

With an Intel MS440GX motherboard the following line in the kernel 
configuration file worked for me (thanks to those who contributed):

	device apm0

Issuing the command 'shutdown -p now' shuts the system down and turns 
the power off.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get Wake-on-lan to work reliably. 
I'm using the Perl module Net::Wake by Clinton Wong. When I manually 
power off the machine I can use wake-on-lan. However, when I soft power 
off, wake-on-lan doesn't appear to work. Hmm. Perhaps I need to send to 
a specific port? I've checked the BIOS several times and it appears to 
be in order. Besides it's worked several times already. I'm not sure 
what to do from here except go to bed.  :-)

Thanks everyone,

Alex

This is a FAQ.  You asked cvsup to update your ports collection to
RELENG_4, which means it will also remove any files that do not
contain the RELENG_4 tag - which is the entire ports collection,
because the ports collection does not contain that tag.

finding a donor of a laptop to be used to bring this journey to those

contribute the use of a laptop? It will be returned upon the completion
of this project in October of 2004. I can provide the donor with written
testimonial, photos of their product in use, web site links to their
company, and mention their contribution to any media I encounter. This
is  a unique educational endeavor. The L&C bicentennial will be the
first bicentennial to be celebrated on the World Wide Web. It is
anticipate that over 25 million people will partake in some form of L&C
exhibit, reenactment, site, or other educational display over the next

In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Dan Strick writes:

There is an explicit test in the kernel that stops you from unmounting
the root file system, I guess as an anti foot shooting measure. If
you disable that test then forcibly unmounting / works fine, but
normally init will promptly die because the vnode containing its
executable has disappeared.

The only case I've come across where the ability to unmount / would
be useful is for some kind of rescue or install CD that starts off
as the root filesystem but wants to switch over to the real root
fs allowing the CD to be removed. I've got this to work before by
changing init so that it re-execs itself upon receipt of a special
signal. Then you can mount the new root directly over /, send the
signal to init, and finally forcibly unmount the underlying /. There
are some necessary bits for this that are only in 5.x, such as the
ability to unmount by filesystem ID rather than by path.

Hello,

to all of your machines?
Btw, you do not have to put your local copy of the CVS repository
at /home/ncvs, even though that is the directory used for the
master copy.  However, you *do* want it to be on some directory
which is "local" to each of your machines (local as far as CVS
is concerned, I mean).  NFS-mounted is fine, I believe, but you
do not want to do 'cvs remote' operations with a repository the
size of FreeBSD.
Would anyone be so kind to tell me what to do next? Can't
seem to find the concrete steps on the net.
On each machine, log into root and:

First, create a ~/.cvsrc file with at least the following
two lines in it:
  checkout -P
  update -d -P
And then you can:
  cd /usr
  rm -Rf src
  cvs -d /home/ncvs checkout -r BLAH src
where the value of 'BLAH' will depend on which release you
want to run on that system.  RELENG_4 for "stable", for
instance.  Or RELENG_4_9 for the 4.9-"security" branch.
Or RELENG_5 for the more-daring "current" branch.
Then you can 'cd /usr/src' and follow the standard
instructions for building from source.  Strictly speaking you
don't *have* to do the above as userid root, but you will have
to do the 'make installkernel' and 'make installworld' steps
as root.  You will want that ~/.cvsrc file in whatever userid
you use for checking-out or updating the src via 'cvs'.
Later on, when you want to update some system, you can just
   cd /usr/src
   cvs update

Can anyone point me to a man page or something on how to bind a

I'm not sure what mine is, but it's from a Dell, and
all I really know about it, is it's an Intell too,
with Wake-on-LAN.

>shutdown -p now

Used to work on this system around 4.6-STABLE, then
stopped for some reason, now, running 4.9-STABLE I've
removed APM from my kernel and added: 

device  acpica

Now, shutdown -p works again.  I don't know if that
will work for you too, but if you're upto it, it's
worth a shot.

If I remember correctly, remove everything after "nexus?". So that you will
keep only this:

device  apm0 at nexus?

That did the trick for me.

startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

2003-12-11 Thread David Bear
I am wondering if scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d MUST be owned by root
in order to be run.

If I have a daemon on want started, AND I want it to run as user
"DORK", can I have the binary and the startscript owned by user "DORK"
in order to have it started that way?

the more I think about this, the more I get confused...

If a startup script lives in /usr/local/etc/rc.d does its ownership
determine the ownership of the process it starts?

or is the the owner of the binary the script starts that determines
the owner of the process

And, if it needs to change ownership, is it up to the program itself
to change who it runs as?

Hi Chris -  Thanks for the advice and sorry for the delay. I've taken a
look in /usr/ports/net/cvsupit but pkg-plist does not exist so given all
the other factors I think I will conclude that things are probably OK.

I suppose one day I will crack this updating of FreeBSD machines. To date
I have been using FreeBSD for three years and I have two different
experiences 

(A) a machine I installed 3.x on three years ago have never touched since
and it runs beautifully (still I worry 
about security holes), everything I could ask for.

(B) two other machines I have installed 4.x on in the last 6 months
(both, to some degree 'play' machines). On both have attempted to update
sources etc via CVSUP and have never had anything but grief/pain/boredom.
I'm sure there are people out there who do this all the time and it all
works but I'm not one of them ! Maybe one day !

thanks again for your advice.

regards

richard.

Re: Terminal setting

2003-12-11 Thread David Carter-Hitchin
Greetings,

There are (at least) two sides to this problem.  Firstly you must ensure
the FreeBSD is using the right keymap for your country and keyboard.  For
example to get my standard UK keyboard working I had to put the following
line in my configuration:

/etc/rc.conf.local:keymap="uk.iso.kbd"

(and reboot)  Alternate keymaps are stored under:

/usr/share/syscons/keymaps

I don't see one that begins with ir, but you may find one close enough,
and you can always make your own.  They are ascii files so you can read
how they're structured.  "man keyboard" would be an admirable starting
place to read about such things.

Once I had done this all those really useful characters like # @ > \ and ~
were in the right "places" on the keyboard (where the keys advertised they
were).

I also had to tell X about my keyboard:

Option "XkbLayout" "uk.iso.kbd"

(That style of option may be different in your version of X - check the
man pages - they've changed during the last major release).

If that doesn't fix your problem (which it may do) then we need to know
which terminal program you are using - is it the console or an xterm
window within X?  If its an X program then it could be the bindings, which
can be changed.

On *any* terminal you can normally fix the back space by doing this:

stty erase [Backspace][Return]

That's two keystrokes at the end there, not the literal characters '[ B a
c...' This has the effect that the terminal settings will delete a char
from your current line when you hit the backspace key.

In Emacs you can nearly always work around not having the "meta" key by
typing ESC-x (Emacs then kindly prompts with M-x)

Syntax highlighting is another kettle of fish.  First check is to ensure
your terminal supports colour - can you see any colours of any description
there (such as the FreeBSD install screens)?  Emacs you explicity have to
switch it on (Help | Options | Global Font Lock..) - maybe on another
version you had that was set in your $HOME/.emacs file.  vim I got that
working once, but I forget how off the top of my head...  I'm not really a
fan of vim (except for very large files which vim handles so much better
than vi - in fact it handles them full stop, vi just dies after a
certain size).

Laptop for unique educational project.

2003-12-11 Thread Norm Miller
Greetings,
In March I will be retracing the Lewis & Clark route solo by canoe from Illinois to 
the Pacific. I have created an educational web site called In The Wake Of Discovery 
and will involve schools, organizations, history buffs or anyone with Internet access. 
I will be documenting the L&C trail as it appears today during the bicentennial 
celebration of that famous endeavor. My web site: http://www.lewisandclark-2004.com  
will be updated from remote areas along the trail. I am in hopes of finding a donor of 
a laptop to be used to bring this journey to those that follow. Do you know of any 
individuals or organizations who would contribute the use of a laptop? It will be 
returned upon the completion of this project in October of 2004. I can provide the 
donor with written testimonial, photos of their product in use, web site links to 
their company, and mention their contribution to any media I encounter.
This is  a unique educational endeavor. The L&C bicentennial will be the first 
bicentennial to be celebrated on the World Wide Web. It is anticipate that over 25 
million people will partake in some form of L&C exhibit, reenactment, site, or other 
educational display over the next three years.
It is my hope you can help provide me with information on where I may be able to 
obtain this donation.
Thank You for your help in this matter. I hope you join me begining in March of 2004.

puc driver -- config problem?

2003-12-11 Thread David Brodbeck
I'm sure this is something really simple I'm missing, but after an hour of 
tinkering and doing Google searches I'm at a loss.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE on an Alpha.  I just installed an NM9835 
2-port PCI serial card.  I added 'device puc' to my kernel configuration 
file, as suggested in 'man puc', but when I run config I get this error:

Warning: device "puc" is unknown

What am I doing wrong?

no-one has mentioned 'head' yet:

head -100 file > newfile

to save the first 100 lines of file into newfile.

You can also use a combination of head and tail to take a portion of the
file, e.g:

head -100 file | tail -3 > newfile

to save off lines 98,99 and 100 of file into newfile.  I've known this to
be useful when trying to extract certain lines from mammoth files.

If, by "a certain point" you meant, for example, up to some general regex
then you could employ some perl:

cat file | perl -e 'while (<>) { exit if /REGEX/; print }' > newfile

I know you can do similar things in sed and awk, but I don't know the
syntax off the top of my head, and don't have my notes to hand.

I recently installed PHPNuke and have some observations that might be

1. The version in ports may be behind what is on the project web site.

2. Installing a PHP app from a tarfile is pretty easy, so if ports isn't

Personally, I prefer to have the current sources on the machine,
so I can examine security breaches etc...

But the main advantage is that downloading source diffs requires
much less bandwidth than, say, newly compiled binaries. Tracking
-STABLE or -CURRENT with cvsup via a 56k modem line is a viable
option. I wouldn't like to download big binaries everytime a
small patch fixes something.

I understand this, but I still like the seperation.
Were I installing a package, I'd understand having to operate within the
confines of someone elses location scheme, BUT I'm building from source
for gods sake.  Being able to change the base prefix of the port install
seems like a pretty basic piece of functionality. Obviously there are some
exceptions, but it would be easy for the port to inform you if PREFIX could
not be changed in the environment.

I did a 'make install' on portupgrade,  didn't realize I'd have to install
ruby to install perl :-) Grief.

Then I found my problem.  My stock shell was ksh, obtained from research.att.com
many moons ago.  It was doing some odd stuff with the environment (not via any
dotted scripts).  perl -v would work in ksh but once I su'd to root (csh) 
something was messed up.   Shrug.  chsh to sh or csh seems to work for that
shell and also when su'ing to root. With my /usr/local/perl prefix and all.  

Thanks for everyones help & chastisement :-))

I'm guessing between this thread and your "unmounting /" thread that
you're attempting to duplicate your root drive?  I just tried this in
single user mode a few days ago with dd and it didn't work.  The
resulting file system was "dirty" so I used 'fsck' to clean it.  The
results were a complete unusable mess.

I tried another method described in my thread "Trouble Adding New Boot
Drive" but couldn't quite get it right.  However I think I'm overlooking
something quite simple.  You might like to look over the steps I took
and see if they make sense.  Then if you get it to work, I'd be most
appreciative if you'd let me know what I missed.  I'll send the message
to you if you want.

On current you can get around the consistency problem by dd'ing a
snapshot of the filesystem, just like dump's -L flag does.

I assume you're talking about dd of the filesystem block devices,
rather than anything else.

dd'ing from a mounted filesystem is generally safe, although you won't
get any sort of sensible result unless the source filesystem is
inactive -- remounting the FS read-only should be sufficient.

Using dd(1) to write to the block device of a mounted filesystem will
at minimum create a horrible mess and at worst could well crash the
machine.

Remember that dd(1) traverses the block device sequentially, but that
most FS accesses are random, so any particular change can span either
side of dd(1)'s offset.  Also that dd'ing from the block device
bypasses the usual machinery for doing file IO -- machinery that is
designed under the premise that it will have sole control over what
gets read or written where and when.

dd'ing to a mounted filesystem will overwrite the original inode
structure, but the dd(1) process is going to be competing with the
buffer cache, which will tend to write data back using it's cached
version of the previous structure.  You'll end up with a mess that
fsck(1) probably couldn't sort out.  Even if the target FS is mounted
read-only the filesystem code will still probably throw a wobbly when
it finds the disk contents have been changed out from underneath it.

Cheers,

Matthew

The unmount() function may fail with one of the following errors:
...
[EINVAL]   The requested directory is not in the mount table.

Without reading kernel source I can only speculate that the man page
is correct and the root file system is not in the kernel mount table.
This is plausible if not actually expected since the root file system
is not actually mounted on anything.

Even if it were in the kernel mount table, you couldn't unmount it
because it would always be busy.  If there were any other mounted
file systems, at least one of them would have to be mounted on the
root and that would make the root busy.  If there were no other
mounted file systems, then the current working directory of every
active process (including the one issuing the unmount() system
call) would have to be somewhere in the root and that would make
the root busy.

You can't unmount the root file system.  Even the mere notion makes
me feel a little queasy.

I have to give you big points for originality. :-)
(Why did you *want* to unmount the root?  To fsck it or dump it?)

Can anyone describe or point me to resources explaining why it is
dangerous to dd a filesystem while it is mounted? Is it still considered
to be dangerous if the system is first dropped down to single-user mode?

No -- that's not your fault at all.  You're being scanned by Windows
machines infected with the MS-BLASTER worm or something like it that
is attempting to exploit the RPC DCOM buffer overflow vulnerability -- see

or search for MS-BLAST on any of the anti-virus verndors' sites.

Unplug your system from the internet?  Or sit back, comfortable in the
knowledge that even if your firewall wasn't blocking the packets,
you'ld still be invulnerable to being exploited.  Develop a nice sense
of Schadenfreude, then come to the uncomfortable realization that the
machines taken over by this worm generally get turned into zombie spam
engines from hell...

The main reason for doing that sort of thing with most unixoid systems
is that using a unique prefix for every software package you install
means that you can easily identify which files belong to what package
when later on it comes time to update things.

However, you don't have to do it that way on FreeBSD -- the ports
system itself keeps track of where all of the installed files come
from.  Following the defaults -- that is, using the prefixes
/usr/local or /usr/X11R6 -- means that all the binaries will appear in
locations that are already on user paths, and dependent software
packages will be able to find shared libraries to link against.

But then again, it's your system and you can do what you like with it.

Cheers,

Matthew

You can't un mount root.

All Linux distributions use glibc; while BSDs use their own version
of libc.

But these are only technicalities. More important is that the BSDs
use a central CVS repository for the whole OS (minus third party
packages), whereas in the Linux world, the "vendors" maintain
separate (mostly with source, but sometimes binary-only as well)
collections of separately maintained software.

If the developers of Linux' base utilities, glibc, kernel etc...
submitted all their source code to a "Linux CVS" repo, and all
distributions were built on top of that, they would have adopted
an important part (though not everything) of BSDs philosophy
[putting the different licensing schemes aside for a moment].
However, this is unlikely to happen any time soon (if at all),
mostly for political reasons: the FSF, Linus, and a lot of other
developers would have to agree to share a single repository,
and this is particulary difficult to achieve.

Anyway, both development models are quite viable, and it is
amazing to see how both "camps" are making excellent progress.

It is very very wrong to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined in the
environment, doubly so for such paths as /usr/lib, which is in ldconfig
hints _anyway_.

FreeBSD's behavior does not correspond to ld(1) manual page - in reality
LD_LIBRARY_PATH takes precedence to everything, including -rpath (see
the manpage for details).  The manpage should be fixed, obviously, but
the current FreeBSD behavior is nevertheless correct, for otherwise it
would not be possible to upgrade a software package when it's .so API
changes even slightly.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is there just for this reason -
to knowlingly override whatever other means of locating shared libraries
there are.  It should not be used for setting system-wide defaults,
which is a job for ldconfig(8).

You might want to look at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=59186 (same situation as
yours) and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28191 (why
rtld-els behavior was changed).

Hope this helps,
\Anton.

I don't see why. I think "distribution" is a perfectly fine term for
what it describes. My comments below explain why.

> There are several operating systems, Debian, RedHat,
> Mandrake, which only have in common to use the Linux kernel. 

This is incorrect. All relevant Linux distributions are not only based
on the same kernel, but almost almost all of the same userland software
as well. (Specifically, GNU software, much of which is a core part of
FreeBSD as well.) The main areas where they differ are the configuration
details (what files are where, how to configure services such as init
scripts and networking, etc) and package management. There are of course
other differences, but these two are the biggies.

> Forget
> the word "distributions" which seems to imply that an operating

Again, there's nothing wrong with the word "distributions." What you're
really saying is that you just don't like how the Linux community places
so much emphasis on the kernel instead of the entire operating system as
a whole. Linux-based operating systems first came together in the early
90's by taking various pieces of software and fitting them all into a
system that worked. FreeBSD (unless I misunderstand) has always been a
cohesive whole. While there are advantages to this in the sense that the
left hand always knows what the right hand is up to, there are plenty of
applications (for example, embedded ones) that benefit from a more
disconnected and flexible framework.

Except that these are forks of the entire operating system, not just the
kernel. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Like you said, the comparison between Linux and BSD is an
apples-and-oranges issue. Similar in some ways, different in others, and
both have differing abilities even if many of those abilities overlap.

php5 compile fail

2003-12-11 Thread Aleksander Rozman - Andy
Hi !

I am having weird problem. I tried to install php5 but it seems that 
FreeBSD has some stuff missing. In resolv.h, we are mising 4 aliases 
res_ninit, res_nmkquery, res_nsend, res_nclose. I was working with some 
people on php site, to disover why my compile fails and we came to this 
conclusion, that FreeBSD is missing this aliases. Did anybody else have the 
same problem? How did you solve it?

Take care,
Andy

It seems to me you're making this really complicated: I don't know what 
difference it makes where things get installed (/usr/local/{language}/ 
. . . ), but I have been using the ports collection as it comes without 
a problem. One of the benefits of using a system (like FreeBSD) is that 
there are some design conventions and decisions you can rely on.

My advice, and worth every penny you're paying, would be to use the 
ports system and become familiar with it before hacking around it. To 
that end, I would do, as root"
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install and then use that to 
manage the rest of it with portinstall , in your case perl5.8 
and spamassassin. You may need to run "use.perl port" between those 
steps to ensure that spamassassin gets built against perl5.8 and 
doesn't complain about the wrong version.

Does postnuke require a newer or different version of mod_php4 than you
have currently installed? Unless your mod_php4 installation is in some
way customized, there should be little harm in letting ports do whatever
it wants to do.

(Ports, I've found, works best when it gets its own way. :P)

Don't send him away. This is a good question.

FreeBSD has third-party software (like Sendmail, SSH, Gnats, CVS,
Kerberos, ppp etc.) included as part of its source code base
distribution, and this generally confuses people accustomed to other Unix-
like distributions. 

I don't know what the underlying rationale was for each piece, but I
guess this more integrated approach was meant to make it convenient for
programmer/sysadmins to install the software, contribute changes, and
communicate about the OS with other people in the FreeBSD community.

In principle the integrated approach is attractive because it is simpler
to treat an operating system as a single piece with a lot of features
for convenience, rather than a bunch of unrelated components laying on
the floor that you have to fetch-and-assemble yourself.

I like the fact that the operating system comes with development tools
built-in (C, C++, gdb, CVS, Gnats). It impresses me as a fair and
correct choice in design that an open-source operating system should
have these things.

package if you haven't already done so.

Priority Notification - Potential UK Lottery Winner

2003-12-11 Thread Susan Kennedy
Congratulations!  This Special Notice confirms that you have been
pre-selected to apply for membership of a brand new Worldwide way of
playing the UK National Lottery.

The UK Lotto Game has one of the World's biggest tax free, lump sum
jackpots. The draws are made twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Jackpots can often reach £20,000,000 with total prize funds topping
£40,000,000

Camelot Official statistics show that two thirds of all major wins are
claimed by syndicates. This is an important key factor to improving your
chances, but we wanted to improve the odds even more.

Choosing to play the UK National Lottery with a Worldwide Syndicate, you
not only improve your chances to win the BIG prizes, you also win MORE
money for 2 ball (unique new way to win), 3 ball, 4 ball, 4 ball plus bonus
ball (unique new way to win) and 5 ball wins.

Your own personal multi-win Worldwide syndicate card has already been
pre-selected and will offer you the following seven benefits:

Here is the first benefit... If you personally had 44 single line entries
in the UK National Lotto on Wednesday and Saturday the cost per week would
be £88.00, but with this little card, you receive 88 single line entries in
a multi-win Worldwide syndicate for just £5.00.

Here's the second benefit... you win a new unique Worldwide syndicate prize
by matching just two main lotto draw numbers.

Here’s the third benefit... you win more than the usual £10.00 when you
match three main lotto draw numbers.

Here’s the fourth benefit... you win lots more than playing on your own
when you match four main lotto draw numbers.

Here’s the fifth benefit... when you match four main lotto draw numbers
plus the bonus ball the difference in winnings is enormous.

Here’s the sixth benefit... You can play from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

If you were playing on your own in the UK National Lotto and matched four
numbers and the bonus ball you would have won the four-ball prize of £56.00.

Playing the same numbers in our winning multi-win Worldwide syndicate EACH
member received £2,843.67! (Based on actual syndicate win)

I guess by now you must be ready to get your card!

Okay, here is the seventh benefit...

Just 5 balls scoops the jackpot!

To get the ball rolling (if you pardon the pun!) simply send a blank e
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll show you how to get more from
the UK National Lotto.

UK Lotto players must be 16 or over to play.

One additional piece of data: on my USB1.1-connected Epson s-C82 under CUPS:
Every six or eight passes the printer pauses.  During this interval, the
computer's CPU usage spikes.  It looks as though there is some critical place
without needed double bufferring.  I don't know what this might do to a laser
printer, which needs to have room to stop and start, and may hold data back
if it sees that a stop is soon likely.  One of these days, when the world comes
to a stop and I can take a breath, I'm going to have a look at that and see if
I can fix it.

pass4 should be all the SANE port needs, actually.  There are no kernel

Please bear in mind some problems might be caused by the simple
fact that English isn't my native language -  you can't do too
much about that.
But generally I would say, it is a good idea to start with some
simple working example, not with a list of all features and the
stuff about stripes, volumes, plexes, organization, perfomance
and what might be the differences to some kinds of RAID systems.

Once the reader has got a general idea what can be done, it
makes sense to discuss tuning and optimization.
I don't think it would do any harm to proceed this way, because
one needs to experiment and test things like these, before one
starts using them in a production enviroment.

Also it might be interesting for you to know, why I am asking
about vinum: It is quite clear, that our school's samba server
will sooner or later run out of disk space because of its growing
profiles and home directories. We are frequently short of money,
so I wouldn't like to buy new harddisks. But we know some people
who are willing to donate old, though still good quality
hardware.

Uli.

Dual-hosting current & stable.

2003-12-11 Thread Robin P. Blanchard
Currently I maintain two separate 'host' boxes:

1) -stable, nfs exporting src and obj for -stable clients
2) -current, nfs exporting src and obj for -current clients

I'd like to eliminate one of these boxes, having one box building and nfs
exporting both -stable and -current. I've been reading about jails and am
thinking that perhaps I need to setup a jail on my current box and install
-stable into it (assuming that can be done). Then I'd buildworld (-stable)
within that jail and nfs export that (out of the jail) to the -stable
clients. Is this the best method to accomplish what I'm trying to do ? Tips
are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

how can i get around this?

Depends on how the systems is used, to some extent.  You probably
won't notice it as long as it doesn't get ridiculously large.  I
realize that statement is a circular definition, but an accurate
answer would, well, depend on how the system is used.

I suspect doubling it would be fine, but trying it is the best way to
know.

> freebsd and that 5.x is recomended for production issues.

If your application really requires this sort of thing, 5.x might be
more stable for your application than 4.x.  Or maybe you should
describe how you're getting to need so many groups, and see if someone
can suggest a better way without the groups...

You have to rebuild everything that uses it, of course.  I'd recommend
a full system rebuild.

See NGROUPS_MAX in sys/syslimits.h.  

It will require rebuilding significant parts of the system and may not
work over NFS, and may be slippery when wet.

What I did to simplify things was pick up a DSL/cable router. I can
recommend Netgear... I started with an RP614 but then upgraded recently to
a WGR614.

The router will receive a DHCP address from the cable modem. Your FreeBSD
system will then receive a different DHCP address from the router, by
default in the 192.168.0.nnn range. Netgear routers support interfacing
with dyndns.org so you don't have to worry about knowing what IP address
your router has this day. So you set up an account w/ dyndns (free) then
config the router appropriately.

All that's left is to open port 22 (or a different one if you want to use a
non-standard port) on the router to point to your FreeBSD box. I'd
recommend narrowing the DHCP range that the router picks from and leaving a
range for static assignment. Then have your FreeBSD system use a static IP.
That way you don't have to worry about the IP on the FreEBSD box
accidentally changing for whatever reason and you not being able to ssh in.

I've been doing this for a while now, and also tunnel VNC over the ssh
connection. Works great!

NFS problem at boot-up: "nfsd: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapperfailure - RPC: Unable to send"

2003-12-11 Thread Rob
Hi,

All my PCs are running up-to-date FreeBSD-stable.

I had set up an NFS server (800 MHz) and client (500 MHz),
which was all working fine. At boot-up it nfs-mounts two nfs file systems.
Today I replaced the client 500 MHz with a 2 GHz Pentium 4 PC.
Now the client gives the following during boot:

[...]
Doing initial network setup: hostname.
rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet 147.47.254.184 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 147.47.254.255

 failure - RPC: Unable to send
.
Additional daemons: syslogd.
Doing additional network setup: ntpdate portmap.
Starting final network daemons: nfsiod NFS access cache time=2.
[...etc...]

There is the "Mounting NFS file systems:" for a long while before the RPC message
comes. Strangely enough, the nfs file system is mounted at the end of the boot-up;
so why is there this RPC message and the long wait for nfs?
I have no clue what's going on here and have also no idea in what direction I should
go for solving this. Any hints?
Thanks,
Rob.

Are you aware that by default sshd does not accept connections to user root?
