You'll find that all the programs you installed that required perl before you upgraded to 5.8.2 will give you problems. My advice for you is a re-install of all those programs. Apache if you use it will probably also need to be re-installed. Regards, -- Nelis Lamprecht PGP: http://www.8ball.co.za/pgp/nelis.key "Unix IS user friendly..

Bash

USB wireless adapter (netgear wg121)
Hi, I get access to the Internet via a wireless connection to my router in another room. I use a usb wireless adapter (Netgear WG121), which works fine under Winbut I am really not sure how to get this working with FreeBSD 5.1. I have read the manual and a few forum posts, and it seems that USB adapters are supported by default in FreeBSD 5? Is this true, or is there something I need to enable in the kernel? I am just not sure what to do in order to get this working, and until it works...my BSD box is without inet access :(:( Could anyone help? Thanks for your time!

FreeBSD Traffic Shaping?
Greetings all: I have a ADSL connection where the upstream pipe is smaller than the downstream with it at 1.5Mbps/384kbps now and will be upgrading to 6Mbps/608kbps soon. The issue I'm having is that whenever I upload, it fills the upstream to full capacity and the downstream would lag as the ACKs can't be send back in time. I was told that with traffic shaping or fair queue routing would solve this issue but I only have one NIC interface as I am running FreeBSD on a fully loaded notebook with a Pentium 4M-2.6Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM and 60GB 7200RPM HDD with a 10/100 3COM xl0 built in NIC. The problem is that I have 8 static IP's with my ISP so that the LAN IP's, x.x.x.224-.231 netmask 255.255.255.0 are all locally on the LAN so I want those to use the full speed of the connection without traffic shaping. The NIC also has the 192.168.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 addresses for the local LAN as well so how do I setup traffic shaping in this scenario so that only traffic that actually uses x.x.x.1 from the x.x.x.224 IP that isn't local LAN traffic actually use traffic shaping or fair queue routing while LAN traffic will just use the full speed. I already have these options in the KERNEL config. options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options DUMMYNET options BRIDGE Thanks for your help in advance!

RE: Free space wierdness
Hi, A process running on your server might have created a large temporary file which was occupyng space and which got deleted when the server got a reboot. Regards SSR From: Herbert Wolverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Free space wierdness Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2004 15:12:07 -0600 I have a system running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. It primarily functions as a firewall and router, and is generally pretty lightly loaded (load averages around 0.2). It is a low end system (P200, 64mb RAM, 2 gig hard drive), and is generally stable as a rock. The system has drives setup as follows: / 256M (UFS) /usr1.2gb (UFS+Softupdates) (/var and /tmp are linked onto /usr/var and /usr/tmp respectively) This morning I noticed that the "/" partition was at 108% utilization, and "df -h" looked like this (approximately): FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 252M 256M -8M108% / Oddly, "du -h -d1 -x" showed only a total of 29Mb used on the partition! The output looked like this: su-2.05b# du -h -d1 -x 68K./dev 2.0K./usr 2.7M./stand 1.3M./etc 512B./proc 4.0M./bin 542K./boot 2.0K./mnt 6.4M./modules 30K./root 12M./sbin 4.0K./tmp 4.0K./oldvar 29M. When I rebooted the system (without deleting any files), "df -h" showed the following: FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 252M29M 203M12%/ This is good, since the correct amount of free space now shows, and the server is back to running perfectly. Can anyone shed any light as to why this discrepancy happened in the first place? I'd love to know what I can do to avoid ever having to worry about this again!

Freebsd on a usb pen drive ,, bootable?
Has anyone installed freebsd to a usb pen drive,, boot from pen drive etc..? I have a 256 mb. cigar pro-2 usb pen drive and i would like to use it to carry a small freebsd operating system with me and be able to boot from it. I would also like to pull out the hard drive in my firewall and replace it with a pen drive,, have it boot and run from the pen drive would be nice and since after boot everything "most things" would run from ram i dont see a problem with speed. Its this dam booting thing that has me stumped. I loaded freebsd 5.2, it recognized the pen drive during boot from the cd ,,the only drive on the system to avoid confusion,, and it was available to the system as da0. I successfully setup partitions and such, installed a standard minimal base installeverything went fine and rebooted at the end as usual. Ok so in my bios i set to boot from usb-hddusb-fddusb-zip ,, and nothing. I have another computer with usb-hdd in the bios so i tried it on that,, its a award bios,,, it did seem to do something on the usb-hdd setting as it showed "FREEBSD -- F1" like it does with first starting my regular desktop with 5.2 but it does nothing and the computer only beeps if i press F1 enter or anything really. Has anyone done this before, i could sure use some help with this.

Is some sysctl parameter sitting on this?
Previous question --
I am running GMT on a FreeBSD i386 with 2GB physical memory and 6GB total
swap space. Queries to the system show that I am truly running with that
amount of memory (sysctl hw.physmem and top to see swap space.) My GMT
script bombs when the grdproject program tries to allocate less than 100MB
of memory (23049601 x 4bytes)! Even if I am forgetting about something in
this calculation, it is 20 times less memory than what exists on the
system, NOT INCLUDING SWAP!
Is there a sysctl variable that I need to adjust, like a vm.??? or vfs.???
Is "calloc" the problem? I'm stumped.
GMT code that is running when Fatal Error occurs -
This is a routine, gmt_support.c, that is used by many of the GMT
programs.
void *GMT_memory (void *prev_addr, size_t nelem, size_t size, char
*progname)
{
void *tmp;
if (nelem == 0) return(VNULL); /* Take care of n = 0 */
if (prev_addr) {
if ((tmp = realloc ((void *) prev_addr, (size_t)(nelem *
size))) == VNULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "GMT Fatal Error: %s could not
reallocate more memory, n = %d\n", progname, nel
em);
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
else {
if ((tmp = calloc ((size_t) nelem, (unsigned) size)) == VNULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "GMT Fatal Error: %s could not allocate
memory, n = %d, %d\n", progname, nelem, size);
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
return (tmp);
}
Fatal Error -
$cal_neva.script
grdimage: Allocates memory and read data file
grdimage: Allocates memory and read intensity file

grdimage: New grid size (nx,ny) 4801 by 4801
GMT Fatal Error: grdproject could not allocate memory, n = 23049601, 4
man page for calloc -
The calloc() function allocates space for number objects, each size bytes
in length. The result is identical to calling malloc() with an
argument
of ``number * size'', with the exception that the allocated memory is
explicitly initialized to zero bytes.

I have non-english and unused ports commented out in my ports-supfile (ports-all commented out and individual ports are in), and also listed non-language ports in refuse. portupgrade runs fine. portdb complaints with a ton of error messages about dependencies missing etc, but all is well. The only gotcha I encountered is when new ports branches are added (i.e. port-dns).

static routes
Where is the best place to put a static route, so that it will renew at bootup? I want to be sure that the interfaces are configured automatically, in case the system is rebooted.

switching to an internal DSL modem -- natd, ipfw
Hello! My current network setup consists of the ISP-provided DSL-modem plugged into the little switch together with the rest of the network. One of the machines on the runs natd and the others use it as the default router. To get better protection I should be using a separate Ethernet card, into which only the modem will be plugged in. This is not as convenient from the cabling prospective, however. But what about an internal modem? Like http://store.yahoo.com/softbuyweb/inpcidslmod3.html It seems, en(4) should be able to use it and it should be able to connect to the ISP -- their modem is the Efficient Network's SpeedStream, which uses the same chip, most likely: Hardware Interface Name - SpeedStream 5660-R:ENI Hardware Interface Desc - Motorola 850 SAR Alcatel/RT Adapter Hardware Serial Number - [...] Hardware Revision Number - 00010001 Hardware Instance Number - 0 Driver Name - enatm0 (notice the ``en'' in the driver name) But -- will natd(8), the ipfw (4) and (8) work properly with en0? Any other potential problems? Thanks! -mi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Help with using wv2 application.
Sorry, wv (= wvWare) and wv2 are two different beasts. AFAIK wv2 is a library,
not utility, and is used only by KWord (KDE wordprocessor, from
editors/koffice-kde3) as a backend for M$ Word format exporter, and Ruby
wrapper ruby-rwv2 ("grep -lr wv2 /usr/ports", BTW).

RE: Help with using wv2 application.
The FBSD Wv2 has 32 dependant ports. There is no way I am going to fight my way through cvsup-ing all those config files and then download the 32 sources and compile each one, just to find out it's broken also. Thats the whole reason I used the package collection. So I guess you are saying the FBSD wv2 package is broken and I should submit an PR and email the maintainer directly. http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ says it's an very small source with command line options and it does not have any dependants, so I do not understand just what all that FBSD dependant stuff is for. Sure looks like overkill, or an very major screw up. Who ever ported this sure was out in left field and there was no one monitoring their handy work to verify it was done correctly. And what about some kind of intended use and overview description. The 5 word description is useless. An much better job has to be done that that. I see the same problem with many other ports. What good is an inventory of 9600 ports when there is no information to explain to the installer how to get started.

WD160 + Drive geometry
Hiya, First time using a mailing list so I hope I'm in the right place!

I'm using a Promise Ultra ATA/133 controller, which does support drives greater than 137 gigs so that shouldn't be the problem. I'm running 5.1-Current.

When I use the fdisk utility it tells me that the geometry of 310101/16/63 (which is what you can find on the western digital website in the drive specs) is incorrect, and that it is using a more likely geometry.

Re: Free space wierdness
I recently had a similar phenomenon happen on a Linux box, but the same could happen on BSD I believe. The problem ended up being that a process had created a bunch of huge files, then deleted them but hadn't closed them yet. The space doesn't get reclaimed until the file is deleted and has no open file descriptors. This is why the space came back after the reboot. If it happens again you can use 'lsof' (available in the ports collection) to find out what's holding the descriptors open. As for being over 100% capacity, I believe UFS (like most *nix filesystems) reserves some amount of space that only root can use. This lets you boot and repair a system is an important filesystem (e.g. /, /usr) is full. Hope this sheds some light, -Nate On Thu, 5 Feb 2004, Herbert Wolverson wrote: > I have a system running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE.

The fact that this is a mailing list is made very clear on the FreeBSD website.

It means an archive (which is searchable) builds up as a point of reference, so people who are dealing with problems and issues can refer to it. Also, there's some chance that questions won't be asked over and over again. Again, this is made clear on the FreeBSD website. Indeed, you can search the archives right there. From time to time people do send inappropriate messages to the list. Frankly, most subscribers would prefer it if they didn't. Your mail was in this category. Inappropriate mails waste people's time. You are, in effect, asking someone to waste more time. I am writing to ask you to remove these documents which were published with out my consent. IANAL, but I'd have thought that the act of sending a mail to a public, open, archived forum constitutes consent to the contents of that mail being displayed in a public, open, archived forum. Please tell me when they are removed, The horse left the stable when you first posted the mails. I can't see that any harm has been done. But if it has, it happened when you sent the mails.

I don't remember where I read this (I checked the handbook but I couldn't find it): FreeBSD will run with 4M of memory, but sysinstall requires more - I thought it was more than 5M, but still less than 16M... maybe install.txt is out of date? Anyway, you could try this: - take the HDD out of the 16M machine - put it in a machine with more memory - install FreeBSD on it with that machine - put it back in the 16M machine When doing this, be careful about which device the HDD it thinks it is - e.g, if it's the primary master in the machine with 16M of memory, make it the primary master in the other machine too. -Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD 4.9 on i386, using Generic Mapping Tools, calloc
I am running GMT on a FreeBSD i386 with 2GB physical memory and 6GB total
swap space. Queries to the system show that I am truly running with that
amount of memory (sysctl hw.physmem and top to see swap space.) My GMT
script bombs when the grdproject program tries to allocate less than 100MB
of memory (23049601 x 4bytes)! Even if I am forgetting about something in
this calculation, it is 20 times less memory than what exists on the
system, NOT INCLUDING SWAP!
Is there a sysctl variable that I need to adjust, like a vm.??? or vfs.???
Is "calloc" the problem? I'm stumped.
GMT code that is running when Fatal Error occurs -
This is a routine, gmt_support.c, that is used by many of the GMT
programs.
void *GMT_memory (void *prev_addr, size_t nelem, size_t size, char
*progname)
{
void *tmp;
if (nelem == 0) return(VNULL); /* Take care of n = 0 */
if (prev_addr) {
if ((tmp = realloc ((void *) prev_addr, (size_t)(nelem *
size))) == VNULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "GMT Fatal Error: %s could not
reallocate more memory, n = %d\n", progname, nel
em);
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
else {
if ((tmp = calloc ((size_t) nelem, (unsigned) size)) == VNULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "GMT Fatal Error: %s could not allocate
memory, n = %d, %d\n", progname, nelem, size);
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
return (tmp);
}
Fatal Error -
$cal_neva.script
grdimage: Allocates memory and read data file
grdimage: Allocates memory and read intensity file
grdimage: project grdfiles
grdimage: New grid size (nx,ny) 4801 by 4801
GMT Fatal Error: grdproject could not allocate memory, n = 23049601, 4
man page for calloc -
The calloc() function allocates space for number objects, each size bytes
in length. The result is identical to calling malloc() with an
argument
of ``number * size'', with the exception that the allocated memory is
explicitly initialized to zero bytes.

Re: backup question
Here's how I do it... - Open a writable Samba share on the FreeBSD box. - Map the drive from Windows and ensure the Win-user can write to it. - Schedule Robocopy (Res. Kit utility) to sync the Samba share from publications. Should do it. Robocoy script should be something like: robocopy.exe C:\publications J:\sambashare /mir >> C:\robocopy.log where C:\ is your local source directory that you are syncing from and J: is your mapped Samba share on the FreeBSD box.

Question in regards to software verification...
This is going to sound incredibly new, but i've never understood how to completely verify software that you download. For instance, a new Security Advisory was released today regarding the shmat reference counting bug One thing that I thought of when I was looking at this is the option to d/l the patch, then patch your system. I also noticed that there was, not only the patch you can download, but the .asc file which is supposed to verify the software you download. So I wanted to know the methods available that you can use to verify software that you d/l? How about .asc? I have seen that one before, but not really familiar with it. I know you can also use md5 as well as gnupg. Anyone care to take a moment and enlighten me with the steps to verify software? I appreciate it.

Lee, I'm not involved in FreeBSD in any way, however, currently all seven of my webservers and support group run on a flavor of FreeBSD dating all the way back to the 4.4-Stables that run DNS.

backup question
Greetings, I have a Freebsd 5.1-release box with samba installed, configured and working. On my network I have an NT 4 server (can't change this right now). It has a share on it called publications. I would like to synchronize (in one direction) the files from the publication share to the Freebsd box. So, when I synchronized, any changes on the publications share are copied to the freebsd box, but NEVER the other way. Any ideas on this ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Do you mean, for example:
# cd /usr/port/portname
# make
This creates the ports, plus the dependencies, and does not install
them. To install:
# make install
or better
# make install clean

From gpg's man pages:
--show-keyring Causes --list-keys, --list-public-keys, and
--list-secret-keys to display the name of the keyring a given key
resides on. This is only useful when you're listing a specific key or
set of keys. It has no effect when listing all keys.
--keyring file Add file to the list of keyrings. If file
begins with a tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME
directory.If the filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be
in the GnuPG home directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used).
The filename may be prefixed with a scheme:
"gnupg-ring:" is the default one.
It might make sense to use it together with --no-default-keyring.
Make sure there is not file path mangling/confusion.
Maybe try using gpa or kgpg from the ports.
I did not try anything like that. That's all I can think of.

That's what I mean . The incoming packets are with TTL=1 and my gateway
cannot forward them to the local network . Probably the reason is that the
ISP doesn't want from his clients to share one Internet connection between
different machines in the local network . I dont have problem with outgoing
packets .
here is the code fragment from ip_forward() in ip_input.c
/usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_input.c :
if (ip->ip_ttl <= IPTTLDEC) { //Yes !!! the TTL == 1
icmp_error(m, ICMP_TIMXCEED, ICMP_TIMXCEED_INTRANS,0, 0);
return;
}
and further:
ip->ip_ttl -= IPTTLDEC;
when i execute netstat -s there is a big number of icmp time exceed errors
indicating that the packets are discarded because of TTL expiration I need
a way to avoid this .

To get a job in BSD development, you would have to get a job in a company that is using FreeBSD (or one of the other BSDs) and that, for their own reasons, chooses to have some staff working on BSD things - probably that run on top of BSD. You could also volunteer to do development, but you would not get paid for it from FreeBSD - no one does. To do this, look at the various projects and or the bug (pr) list and do a good job writing the needed code or correction and submit it. If it gets used and you do this often enough you might end up being a committer. As for testing, just download the latest CURRENT and update to the latest with cvsup and you will be running (and thus testing) the latest BSD.

Run ipfw(8) or a similar firewall and set up a rule that sends an ICMP reject whenever it detects an incoming connection on port 113 as part of your firewall configuration. Eg. something like: 01600 reset tcp from any to me dst-port 113 setup Thanks...but I have quite a robust Cisco firewall in place ahead of the freebsd machines...so I dont -need- to run ipfw...Hmmm... You can achieve this rejection on the application level as well. Here's how: 1. Run inetd with command line options '-wW' to enable libwrap support. 2. Enable inetd's internal auth service with authstream tcp nowait rootinternal 3. Deny auth connections in libwrap's /etc/hosts.allow, like so: auth : ALL : severity debug : deny ALL : ALL : allow Now you have something (inetd) bound to port 113, so a connection can be established, but it gets dropped immediately due to the libwrap setup. This is sufficient to prevent timeouts on the remote end but at the same time leaks as little information as possible for an application level solution.

I put it into /root/kernels and typed: ln -s /root/kernels/MOAK I cvsuped src all and ports all. Then and did: make -j4 buildworld. No problem. Then I rebooted and went into single user mode and typed: make buildkernel KERNCONF=MOAK. Then I get this output: config: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MOAK:274: syntax error Error code 1 stop in /usr/src error code 1 Stop in /usr/src Is there something wrong in MOAK (see attachment)??? Hope that somebody can offer me some help.
