Re: freebsd mount nwfs
Hi, At the moment no problem. So far so good. If you have lost connection to novell server and want to reconnect automatically, I suggest create a script to check if you lost connection to novell.

Leased line server configuration via analogue modem
Hello there How do would I go about configuring FreeBSD 5.1 to be a leased line server? Basically a mail server and gateway. I can get a null modem to connect and obtain an IP address. But I am only able to access the machine from outside if there is a default_router for my network. Here is my rc.conf file: #defaultrouter=192.168.1.4 hostname=bsd.adept.co.za ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.1.145 netmask 255.255.255.0 inetd_enable=NO kern_securelevel_enable=NO linux_enable=YES saver=daemon sendmail_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES network_interfaces=rl0 ppp0 router_enable=NO gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN natd_enable=YES natd_interface=ppp0 natd_flags= I cannot ping any external addresses from the box. I have already compiled my kernel for IP forwarding as stated in the handbook. The other thing, is that my connect script doesn't run at startup, even though i have put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ . But that is minor for now. What have I done incorrectly and what else do i still need to do?

Re: Why userland , basesystem and Kernel are together?!
You are comparing apples and oranges. Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. Distributions is a specially ill-choosen word in the Linux world. There are several operating systems, Debian, RedHat, Mandrake, which only have in common to use the Linux kernel. Well, this is what I indendet to express. Besides that, I'd say that the various GNU/Linux flavours (let's put it that way ;-) have more in common than just the kernel: The GNUish userland (parts of which are used in FreeBSD, too). Forget the word distributions which seems to imply that an operating system is defined by its kernel. I also dislike the term `distribution', I only used it for better comparability.

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

I would like to be able to ssh into my home machine from a remote internet site or someone else's computer. I've tried a couple of things I thought might work and no such lunch. I understand Adelphia might be using NAT to route packets to my home machine. If this is true, does it mean I'm can't ssh remotely? How, if possible, can I get through. There is a company in Boston that advertises a package that does dynamic DNS for home computers. I haven't looked into how it works, though. There's gotta be a way! 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.

Once the reader has got a general idea what can be done, it makes sense to discuss tuning and optimization.

Here's the second benefit... you win a new unique Worldwide syndicate prize by matching just two main lotto draw numbers. Heres the third benefit... you win more than the usual £10.00 when you match three main lotto draw numbers. Heres the fourth benefit... you win lots more than playing on your own when you match four main lotto draw numbers. Heres the fifth benefit... when you match four main lotto draw numbers plus the bonus ball the difference in winnings is enormous. Heres 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.

Yes. make install PREFIX=/usr/local/perl

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 portname, 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.

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. And there are several operating systems based on a BSD kernel, too: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, there is even now a Debian/BSD which uses a NetBSD kernel instead of Linux. 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.

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.

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.

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?) Dan Strick [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Question about ports... [postnuke]
I am want to install postnuke but when-ever I go to do make under /usr/port/www/postnuke, it wants to install mod_php4 again, I don't want to have to reinstall ports everytime I add something new. I recently installed PHPNuke and have some observations that might be relevant to your situation. 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 cooperating, go to the source. You'll probably just need to edit the config file with your SQL login info and the user/group that the web server runs as (probably nobody/nogroup).

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.

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.

Re: Perl 5.8.2 problems (was Re: how to build Spamassassin)
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. 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.

Re: a technical how to
Hiya,
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.

Laptop for unique educational project.
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 LC 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 LC 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 LC 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.

Re: Terminal setting
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).

Looks like cvsupit is partially installed? You might be able to fix it up by running pkg_delete cvsupit-3.1 which should delete any files that were installed by the cvsupit package (and possibly give you some warnings when trying to delete ones that weren't.) That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of it. However strange stuff persists because when I tried that I got ... trinidad# pkg_delete cvsupit-3.1 pkg_delete: no such package 'cvsupit-3.1' installed ... - that's even though it just ran ! I then started looking in to the relevant ports directory and this is what I saw ... trinidad# pwd /usr/ports/net/cvsupit trinidad# ls work trinidad# cd work trinidad# ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 7 22:59 .build_done.cvsupit-3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 7 22:59 .configure_done.cvsupit-3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 7 22:59 .extract_done.cvsupit-3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 7 22:59 .patch_done.cvsupit-3.1 trinidad# ... I take it those files are used as a form of logging ? Sort of. They're little 'cookies' that help indicate which phases have been completed thus far, to the ports 'make' scripts. So on the one hand it's 'build_done' but on the other hand pkg_delete doesn't know about the package ! Not too surprising; if the install had completed sucessfully, there'd be a '.install_done.cvsupit-3.1' file there too. Just did a ... trinidad# find / -name *vsupi* -print ... and didn't find anything elsewhere in the system either ... All in all a bit of a mystery - anyone else fancy having a go at explaining what might have happened or what it all means ;-) Most likely, it built cvsupit sucessfully, then went to install it, but found something it didn't like, so it stopped there. Chances are it stopped before it installed anything - especially in light of your find command. In which case, your system isn't in a bad state after all. But if you want to be *really* certain, have a look at /usr/ports/net/cvsupit/pkg-plist. It should contain a list of all the files the port wanted to install. You can search for each of them in your system, and delete them if you find them. 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. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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'.

Re: umounting /
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dan Strick writes: You can't unmount the root file system. Even the mere notion makes me feel a little queasy. 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.

Using FreeBSD 5.1 and PHP 4.3 I had to delete the from: setlocale (LC_TIME, locale); To make it look like: setlocale (LC_TIME, en_US.ISO_8859-1); and also replace setlocale (try man setlocale info) From mainfile.php line 565 Pete http://www.soupro.org/dim On Thu, 11 Dec 2003 14:03:04 -0500, C.

Re: cvsup from 4.7-REL to stable

After that, I tried to run cvsup to RELENG_4 as in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html I intend to sync src and ports trees. After running cvsup, all content from /usr/ports (excepting distfiles and dirs. listed in /usr/sup/refuse) was erased. I'm missing something, so any help will be highly appreciated. Ran this: cvsup -g -L 4 /root/cvsupfile-modif /root/cvsupfile-modif looks like this: *default tag=RELENG_4 *default host=cvsup1.ro.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all ports-all release=cvs ports-base release=cvs 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.
