Hi Kevin,

Does your /sbin/init have the immutable flag set?

Try

ls -lo /sbin/init

to find out.  If it does, and you want to remove it, try

chflags noschg /sbin/init

portupgrade questions

[dave]

Hello,
I've got a machine i want to run portupgrade on. I want to do this as
automatically as possible. In the default portinstall pkgtools.conf file in
the BEFOREDEINSTALL array i've uncommented the automatically stop each
service that has an rc script, and the stop postfix line. I'm now getting a
cintax error, does anyone have a working array?
Secondly, one of the packages i know is going to be upgraded is postfix, i
don't want to have to enter the configuration dialog box and enter the
options, i'd just rather have it select cyrus-sasl2, and tls is this doable?
Finally, for the make args do i have to list dependencies of ports in
that list or just the primary packages i want?
Thanks.
Dave.

There is no fix per se.  People using IE are viewing your page.  IE by
default, looks for a favicon.ico file in the root of the web.  If it finds
one, it displays it next to the URL in the address field.

If you don't like the error, then create a cool icon and place it in your
directory.  For more specifics, google is your friend.

Bandwidth hit in natd/ipfw on 4.4-RELEASE

[webmaster]

Hey, I just my got NAT box running 4.4-RELEASE on an old Pentium 90 and 
I'm experiencing a number of problems and I think they're related.. 
there's been a major bandwidth hit in all my web surfing and my ICQ, AOL and MSN 
(using both Trillian and Messenger) are dropping connections -- a lot. I don't think a 
single day's gone by without a connection dropping or two. As I said before, I've 
taken a bandwidth hit on my surfing as well -- to the point where connection attempts 
are completely timing out. I've included an abbreviated rc.conf and my natd.conf here..

rc.conf


ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
inetd_enable="YES"

gateway_enable=YES
natd_enable=YES
natd_inteface=rl0
natd_flags="-config /etc/natd.conf"
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=OPEN

natd.conf

unregistered_only yes
same_ports yes
log yes
dynamic yes
interface rl0

Did I do anything wrong? Miss anything? Add anything unnecessary? The 
kernel's been recompiled as is appropriate.

Thanks in advance.

not sure how to phrase this to limit the number of google hits ..

I would like to run the stock sendmail freebsd has as a local MTA
only... ie I don't want to listening on ANY real/public interface for
mail.  I do want it to handle delivery of local messages to local
accounts -- and handle sending messages destined for external systems.

any pointers ?

Monitoring load average - healthy figure?

[Jamie]

 I've just installed some new software on my machine running FreeBSD
4.9. It's a dual proc. Pentium III. I used "top" to check my load
averages, and I've noticed that they climbed from around 0.30 to 1.59.


 I've googled the results, and I've seen a couple posts from people
who claim that the general rule of thumb is that your load average should
be less than the number of CPU's. I don't know what OS they were referring
to, however. Does this sound right for FreeBSD? Are there better ways of
monitoring load average?

The ILLEGAL REQUEST errors are the base cause of the mount problems
you're getting. If I were you I'd file a PR with send-pr, with the details
of your hardware and O/S (making sure that you're already running a
pretty recent version of FreeBSD before doing so).

The output of something like

is usually more helpful, since it also shows the version of the FreeBSD
port you are using.

Hmm, nothing suspicious, IMO.

Could you please see whether you are running the very latest version of
the port (gaim-0.75_8 at the present)?

Asking technical questions in -newbies does not follow
the FAK: http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the place to send all
 questions about installing, configuring, running and using
 FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions,
 including newbies questions.
While I've read the FAK, not all people do. My comments were
directed more for the situation where a question does end
up here. My intention is not to encourage asking questions
here, but to find a consensus method of dealing with such
questions.
> I would then propose that, in cases of technical replies,
> that a minimal rule of CC'ing the -questions list be

I don't think this will help since it would only encourage
asking of technical questions here.  Invariably, people will
start answering.
I've also noticed that people who have been doing this cause
the person on -questions to CC the -newbies list, thereby
perpetuating the asking/answering questions here myth.  The
convention is to use "Reply All" when answering a question is
why this happens.
The best approach would be to mail the -questions list directly
and not CC the -newbies list.  If the purpose is to expose
new users to more information, then the -questions mailing list
can be read online (highly suggested) without subscribing:
 http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-questions.html

Cross-posting should also be avoided since it only increases the
noise level.  Only some circumstances warrant cross-posting such
as when you need to reach a wide range of people on a topic that
affects them.
Here, I agree with you. My main concern was to allow users
a path to follow when answering questions, not with where
they do it.
A minor secondary concern was the consistency of threads
but, if the person moving the thread to -questions were to
post the fact that the thread has moved, this concern
could be minimized.
I see the danger of perpetuating the myth as a minimal
danger because, as mentioned above, people do ask
questions here. The new subscriber, having only read the
list a short time, will generally see some questions
posted, regardless of what policy may be.
Bottom line: forwarding the thread to -questions and/or
answering it there would be an acceptable course of
action, in my opinion.

Your intention is good but contrary to the charter for this
group.  If your going to answer a question, please trim the
CC for the -newbies group and only CC the -questions list.
I'll avoid doing so in the future. (see comments above.)

This is covered in the weekly posting to -questions
on "How To Ask Questions":
 http://www.lemis.com/questions.html

The same link is also given in the weekly FAK posting here.

Again, not everyone reads it. (And, not everyone
subscribes for a week before asking a question.)
Although, I was being a bit unclear. My intention
was that one should point the asker to that
document and maybe point out what they would find
useful, if they were trying to answer the question.

There are solid guidlines already.  See the FAK link above.

No matter what "solid" guidlines you make (unless its none)
then there will always be a problem in getting people to read

Um, no.  Public mailing lists are publically archived, and publically
redistributed on other fora.  Spammers harvest email addresses from
public resources.

You owe us an apology for the accusations.

Because, as has been explained to you multiple times now, in the past
you have sent email from that address to public mailing lists (of
which this is one).  Now you're not having the good graces to admit
that you screwed up, and to apologise to the members of the FreeBSD

The Apache documentation, and carefully tendered questions, should
be enough for a start --- as far as Apache goes.  Millions of people
use it --- it may feel scary at first, but it's not so bad for basic
site use.
 
For starters, make sure your ports tree is up to date,
and issue the following (assuming version 1.3.x here):

#cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
#make install clean

(if csh or tcsh)

#rehash

Then:

#apachectl configtest

If this reports "OK", open a browser to http://localhost 
and see if it's telling the truth

Probably your more pressing problems (although I don't
know what you already know about) will be DNS, security,
etc

Anyway, if you get that far, read the "virtual hosts"
section of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf and see what's
up next for putting two sites on one server

I'd start with the documentation at the Apache site, it is quite complete.

Setting up Apache

[Gerard Seibert]

This is probably as good a place as any to post this question.

My cable company has agreed to issue me a dedicated IP address in exchange
for my sending them an additional fee each month.

I presently have two web sites that are being hosted by two different web
hosts. I would like to host both of them myself. I know that Apache can
easily handle that problem even though they would be sharing an IP
address.

My problem is that I have no working knowledge of Apache. I was wondering
if someone could recommend a good book or two that could walk me through
the steps of setting the program up and getting it running. It has to be
the sort of book that does not assume I have a college degree in Computer
Science.

My only other choice would be to pay someone to set the system up for me,
but I would much rather learn how to do it myself. I would appreciate any
assistance that someone might be able to afford me.

I am presently running FreeBSD 5.2.1 if that makes any difference.

One link dropping on Multilink ppp

[Steve Lin]

Hello,

I'm using user-land ppp and setting up a multi-link PPP over TCP
connection, using "set device a.b.c.d:/tcp a.b.c.e:/tcp".

When both a.b.c.d and a.b.c.e are reachable, everything is great -
multilink works just fine.

However, when one of my underlying links goes down after the multilink
connection is established, the multilink ppp session appears to "hang" (no
traffic gets through) for about 8-10 minutes, before it seems to realize
that only one link is available and starts sending traffic through the one
remaining link.

I'm trying to reduce the 8-10 minute lag time before traffic continues
flowing on the single remaining link, and I can't figure out what event or
timer is occuring at this 8-10 minute mark to make things start working
again.

I've tried "enable lqr" and "set lqrperiod 10" and "set reconnect 10
999" and tweaking "set redial", to no avail.

Here's the relevant config files for the client:

-client ppp.conf
default:
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set timeout 180
 enable dns
 enable lqr
 accept lqr
 set lqrperiod 10

dual:
 set escape 0xff
 set device 63.220.17.114:6669/tcp 63.220.17.115:6669/tcp
 set phone
 set dial
 set login
 set authname testname
 set authkey testpass
 set enddisc magic
 set timeout 0
 set ifaddr 10.0.4.2 10.0.4.1
 nat enable yes
 set mrru 1500
 clone 1,2
 link 1 set device 63.220.17.114:6669/tcp
 link 2 set device 63.220.17.115:6669/tcp
 link deflink remove
 link 1,2 set reconnect 10 999
 link 1,2 enable lqr
 link 1,2 accept lqr
 link 1,2 set lqrperiod 10
 link 1,2 set redial 10 3
 add default HISADDR
 link 1,2 set mode ddial
---end client ppp.conf


and server:
-- server ppp.conf---
ppp-in:
 set timeout 0
 set ifaddr 10.0.4.1 10.0.4.2
 enable PAP
 set enddisc mac
 set mrru 1500
---end server ppp.conf

Here's the log shown on the client from "set log local lcp phase ipcp":
---client log--

I can provide the server log too but figured this is already long
enough...

Any ideas how I can get it to drop back to using just one link without
waiting 10 minutes?

slow transfers: Samba 3.0.2a + FreeBSD 4.8 + em gigabit network card = ~125mbps

[Michael Haro]

I have a FreeBSD 4.8 server with a 3ware RAID controller in a RAID5
configuration.  The server has an Intel PRO/1000 network card in it.
I'm trying to transfer big (100MB+) files from this server to a Firewire
drive on my Windows XP workstation which also has an Intel PRO/1000 NIC.
The transfer speed of the data caps at around 120mbps.  It was lower, but
I set net.inet.tcp.sendspace to 65536 and it seemed to help.

The 3ware array says it is around 25% busy (from systat -vmstat) so I
don't think it is read performance that is the limiting factor.  The cpu
on the server is about 65% idle (from top).

The windows xp workstation is around 75% idle.  When I connect the firewire
drive directly to the server the data transfered at 160mbps.  I'd
continue doing the transfers locally except the data needs to be put on
an NTFS partition and I couldn't get FreeBSD to write to one and from the
man page it appears that write support isn't fully complete.

My question is why am I loosing ~40mbps when doing this transfer over the
network?  Both the workstation and the server are connected to Cisco
3524 switches in the copper gig port.  Both switches are connected via
the other gbic port which has a fiber gig gbic in it.  The average
utilization of these interfaces is less than 200mbit, which should leave
plenty of bandwidth for my data transfer.

Any suggestions on how to improve my performance?  Is there a better list
for me to ask this question on?

Thanks,

Michael

Many browsers are set to automatically probe for this file, whethere it
really exists or not.  It is used to set various icons in the browswer -
especially in your bookmarks and possibly on a tab or some other

Possible that the "small number" are those using
MSIE5.  IIRC, the browser looked for "favicon.ico"
by default (e.g. whether or not the site in question
had linked said file)

Here's a classic, entitled "the Dastardly Favicon.ico not found
error":

http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Design/Images/Favicon/

I can't say her workaround is necessarily what I'd do.  That said,
I think my main site has favicon support now.

I believe this "feature" was changed after MSIE 5.0 due to
things like this:

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,19160,00.html

 entitled "another privacy hole in IE 5?"

I guess you could detect their browser version and give
'em a JS popup that says "Please upgrade your browser!"

Do a 'make install' and let it run. This will take a while. Start it, let it 
go, and wait for it to either 1) Error out, or 2) Finish successfully. Trust 
me, everything is fine.

THANK YOU for getting to the bottom of this.

As of opening this URL, I official retract all my previous statements that
I'd never heard of the list.  That WAS me.  Sorry.



I had no clue when I posted that bug report that I'd be hurting myself
more than helping others.  It's a shame what the spammers have done to the
intrnet.  Hopefully tar was at least fixed.

At this point, I believe you, and apologize to the whole list for thinking
freebsd sold my address.

(But not for posting to the list, since I didn't know that's what I was
doing.)

Okay How bout them republicans?

I can. I just make a procmail filter for that variant to go directly to my
spam folder.



I'm still glad I at least know why this happened. Thanks.




P.S. I'd say it's still freebsd's fault for having a bug in tar...

Geez, give it rest, will you? You're trying so hard to find someone to
blame for this problem that you're ignoring some basic facts--facts that
have been pointed out to you several times.

Here, I'll point them out again.

1. Back in February, 2002, you submitted a problem report. Problem reports
   end up going to the "freebsd-bugs" mailing list. Here are two archived
   versions of the message that ended up on that mailing list:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=306876+0+archive/2002/freebsd-bugs/20020224.freebsd-bugs
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/145/2002/2/250/7871040/

2. As a previous respondent pointed out to you, there's are several Usenet
   newsgroups that are fed from the freebsd-bugs mailing list. Without
   looking very hard, I found three: fa.freebsd.bugs,
   sol.lists.freebsd.bugs, mailing.freebsd.bugs. As was also mentioned to
   you, try plugging your address into the search box at groups.google.com.
   Here's one such instance of your message, as it appeared on the
   "fa.freebsd.bugs" mailing list.

http://www.google.com/groups?q=author:clint%2Bfreebsddotorg%40acm.vt.edu&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_drrb=b&as_mind=12&as_minm=5&as_miny=2000&as_maxd=25&as_maxm=3&as_maxy=2004&selm=fa.klgcaav.k0chjm%40ifi.uio.no&rnum=1

   Or, if you prefer a smaller URL: http://tinyurl.com/24lel

3. Spammers mine Usenet news groups for addresses. You must have known that
   already; it's been going on now for a decade. See

   http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/03/05/spams_tenth_birthday_today.html

   That it took the spammers two years to mine your address from those
   groups is just short of a miracle. I've had addresses mined in less than
   a day.

4. You chose to use an address variant that's tied closely to your regular
   address. Thus, when the variant address was compromised, you can't
   disable it without also disabling your regular email address. There are
   smarter approaches, including:

   a) Defining throw-away aliases. Useful if you can create email aliases
  at will.
   b) Using a throwaway Hotmail or Yahoo address.

5. There's no evidence that anyone deliberately sold your address to
   spammers. Certainly, it's highly unlikely that anyone officially
   connected with FreeBSD would ever do something like that.

   No one on this mailing list is to blame for your receipt of spam on what
   you erroneously supposed was a private email address. If you must find
   someone to blame, consider these targets:

   a. Yourself. You sent a bug report, and all bug reports are posted to
  the public mailing list "freebsd-bugs".

   b. The spammers. Of course, it's no fun blaming them, because they're
  difficult to find and throttle. But that's no excuse for hurling
  invective at FreeBSD users. That's equivalent to kicking your dog
  because your boss pissed you off.

Please direct your ire in a more appropriate direction.

The light is on, but nobody's home.

Listen, Clint, it's as simple as this: you filed a bug report.  That bug
report is available online to whomever wishes to look at it.  All bug
reports are also forwarded to appropriate mailing lists so that the
responsible parties can discuss them.  These mailing lists are archived and
searchable online.  Search for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in Google
Groups to see for yourself.

We have explained this to you time and again, but you don't seem to hear it
so I'm going to shout: NO SERVERS OR LISTS WERE COMPROMISED.  YOU POSTED TO
A PUBLIC FORUM.  THIS IS YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING.

I'm done explaining.  Choose to listen or not - it's your call.

Yanno - I was gonna read the rest of this, but after the above paragraph, I 
felt I had had enough.  

You really don't need to go on out and insult us users, the list, and the 
maintaners.

If you can't deal with the fact that you made a booboo (Ooops, pardon me - 
that was a slip of the elitism you mentioned), and get past this - then I'll 
help you out.

I hear-by request the maintainer of this public list to remove the offending 
user that  from this list that started this thread.

It's apparent (to me at least) the medication has been skipped for a few days 
if not at least a few doses.

> You're not a victim of SPAM, you're an attention seeker. Go and look for
> help with that issue on another list.

Considering that in 10 yrs I have only ever received human replies to 3 or
4 "abuse@", but have probably sent 200 or so, this was decidedly
not a ploy for attention.  I expected it to go to /dev/null, not some
mailing list full of unix folks with their typical tiresome unix-culture
attitudes (which usually include, but are not limited to: intellectual
elitism, scapegoating, and blaming the user for 100% of bad things that
happen to the user).

And as for "Another list" - I never knew my original post was going to a
list so it's not like i'm seeking attention by posting to a list.  Had I
known it was a list my email would have been phrased differently or, more
than likely, I would have simply not sent it.

The root of the problem is that my initial complaint DID in fact go to
/dev/null (in a sense).  I got back this response (below).  The
next-closest thing to abuse@ was [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Notice how it does not
mention that any of these are mailing lists.

Also notice how the spam problem they mention is forged headers. My
problem is NOT mail forged to be crafted to look like it came from
freebsd.org. My spam was NOT marked as from freebsd.org.  What involves
freebsd.org is that they used [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my address
-- that is an address that I would only ever put into FreeBSD.org's hands
and look where it went.

I still don't believe for a second that this is due to me posting on any
public mail list.  FreeBSD's mail servers and/or lists of email addresses
were somehow comprimised.

I'm going to go ahead and CC the list (First time i've done this
intentionally) with my bounceback so you can all see what started this and
maybe have a deeper understanding rather than every one of you
individually privately mailing me.  I actually don't want the attention
and wish this would all go away, but when someone attacks me I make it a
point to always, always rebut.  So if no one responds, I'm done.

We've exchanged all the information we could, I've learned something
(barely), and any more discussion is really pointless bickering amongst
people who probably ALL thing spammers should be drawn and quartered.

I've included the original spammer's headers too, in case someone wants to
do anything about it.

Why have you sold my email address to spammers?

The "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" email was a one-time disposable email
address that I only ever gave to FreeBSD.org.

Now I am receiving spam email targeted at that address.
An address I only gave YOU.

Any suggestions or response?

Re: Why does favicon.ico show as error in apache log

Possible that the "small number" are those using
MSIE5.  IIRC, the browser looked for "favicon.ico"
by default (e.g. whether or not the site in question
had linked said file)
Here's a classic, entitled "the Dastardly Favicon.ico not found error":

http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Design/Images/Favicon/

I can't say her workaround is necessarily what I'd do.  That said,
I think my main site has favicon support now.
I believe this "feature" was changed after MSIE 5.0 due to
things like this:
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,19160,00.html

entitled "another privacy hole in IE 5?"

I guess you could detect their browser version and give
'em a JS popup that says "Please upgrade your browser!"

If you create an icon file and name it favicon.ico and put it in the root of
your htdocs or wherever it creates an icon for your website when somebody
adds it to their favorites in IE or just shows an icon beside the URL in
other browsers.

installkernel signal 4 on Thinkpad 365XD

[John Nielsen]

I'm trying to get FreeBSD 5.2.1 going on an older thinkpad laptop.  The 
install went smoothly from floppy and 5.2.1-RELEASE CD.  Now I'm trying to 
do an installkernel and installworld from an NFS mount on my main machine.

I did the buildworld and buildkernel on the faster machine, with these make 
flags on the command line:
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/586
KERNCONF=TP365XD
CPUTYPE=i586

When I try to do an installkernel and/or installworld, install crashes with 
signal 4.  If I'm not mistaken, signal 4 is an illegal instruction.  What 
could be going on here?

I've used this procedure on other (somewhat newer) 586-class machines 
without problems.  Is this a bug, am I doing something wrong, or is the CPU 
in this laptop not fully 586-compatible?  Dmesg (from the currently 
installed GENERIC kernel) says:
CPU: Pentium/P54C (119.78-MHz 586-class CPU)

Should I try CPUTYPE=i486?  What else can I do to track this down?

Any input appreciated.  Please CC me.

CRON won't send mail anymore.

[Lars Bungum]

Hi! My problem is that cron won't send out mail, anymore regardless of
what I set the MAILTO-variable to in my crontab.  This worked as
expected before, but I can't remember what happend around the time it
stopped.

The system is FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and regular sending of mail like
"echo foo |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" works without problems.  It's only cron that
appears not to supply the target email as specified in MAILTO.

What is wrong here?  I don't really know how to debug this.  Can
crontabs be executed verbosely somehow?  I see I'm getting these errors
in /var/log/cron 

--
/usr/sbin/cron[3940]: getting vmemoryuse resource limit: Invalid
argument
--

..might that be it?

An error message could look like this:

Subject: 
Mail failure - no
recipient
addresses
   Date: 
Thu, 25 Mar 2004
03:30:06 +0100

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore
no
delivery could be attempted.

Well, you started out with the right strategy, but you abandoned it  
too
soon.  You've now blown what looks like your real email address.   
Never
reveal your true email address, for it can be used against you.
How have I blown it?  I sent a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I got
spammed.  The automatic bounceback said to send it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  If [EMAIL PROTECTED] is actually a mail  
list,
I was never told.

So yes -- maybe it's been blown (even further) now.

But that is due to your poor bounceback message.

1) I get spam
2) I complain to abuse
3) it bounces with a message to use another address
4) I guess, from what you've said, that address is a mail list
so in exchange for complaining about you selling my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] email address to spammers, you have now
redirected me into unknowningly posting to a mail list, thereby causing
more spam.
Maybe when I get spam I should just sit here helpless and do nothing.

But that didn't work well for the jews in WWII.
Complacency is not an attitude I like to adopt.
Clint,

Try to put things in perspective. You're saying you've received email  
you don't want - don't compare yourself to victims of the Holocaust.  
That drops your credibility to a lot less than 0. Secondly, you rant  
about creating an email address that is specific to this group, and  
expect us to derive from that, that you are an uber SPAM aware blocker.  
Then you plead newbie ignorance when you posted to an email address  
that you could have checked out with a trivial Google search. Here's a  
hint:  
http://www.google.com/search?q=freebsd- 
questions%40freebsd.org&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf 
-8&oe=utf-8 - look at the search terms. Trivial. You're not a victim of  
SPAM, you're an attention seeker. Go and look for help with that issue  
on another list.

Perhaps because they just give trainings in FreeBSD and they'll hand out 
certificates if you pass it. It is graded by the company thus they will give 
you _their_ certificate. In other words, you'll have a certification created 
by that company, but you'll never have a truely official certification as 
with Red Hat or Mandrake. I hope I cleared things up like this.

You're looking for a .inf file *NOT* a .ini file. They're not the same
thing. The driver distribution from Linksys most definitely has both a
.sys file and .inf file for your device. Look harder. Also, check for
both upper and lower case file names.

He's trying to use the NDISulator which lets you use Windows binary
network drivers with FreeBSD. Before you go looking, the code is in
-current, not 5.2.1, but it will work with 5.2.1 if you install it
all correctly.

And all is working..

Thank you very much for your help :)

Luke,

Your temps are fine. Go to the hard drive manufacturer's web site and
download a drive check utility. Once you run it, it will either say okay
or spit out an error code that you can use to RMA your hard drive.

If a hard drive locks up, you should still see errors on stdout, however
nothing will be in the logs, of course.

Denis

Yes.  I now have heard that the new threading libraries have been
deemed good enough to be made part of the system, so libc_r is the
place for all threaded programs to link against, and the libkse and
libpthread stuff is basically obsolete.
 

I did an lsof for the httpd process (with php4 commented out) and it 
shows no sign of any two modules using different threading libraries:

Do i really have to use the flag, as the filesystem type is given in the /etc/

THREADSAFE, DHAVE-BROKEN-REALPATH; MySql Installation Errors.

[samy lancher]

Hello,
I am trying to install mysql4.0 on my FreeBSD4.7 system. When I gave "make" in 
usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server, the installation process went on on and on ... 
until i gave Ctrl-C. I think it is going into some kind of loop. During installation i 
saw several messages having words like THREADSAFE, DHAVE-BROKEN-REALPATH.
Does anyone had similar problem? Any suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.

Postfix & SASL Authmethod

[Alex Huth]

Hi guys!

I've setup up Postfix & SASL on a 4.9 System. It does SMTP-Auth for delivering 
to the ISP Mailserver. It is working fine so far. Tehre is only one warning 
when connecting to the remote SMTP-Server:

 offered AUTH option multiple times

How can i define which Option to use when my SMTP is connecting? The 
security_option in the main.cf is "anonymous"
Is there a solution to handle this?

Thanks

It's not necessarily that bad.  As the portsdb(1) manual says:

Note: the ports database file is automatically updated if
it is not up-to-date when looked up, so manual updating is
not mandatory.

No, the errors wouldn't necessarily correspond; they're built by
fairly different methods.  I don't recall any operations that require
you to have both; the standard ports tools only use INDEX, and the
portupgrade-related tools only use INDEX.db.  [as far as I remember...]

When I'm having trouble building an INDEX, I run "make describe" and
see where it fails; that usually gives me the information I need to
fix it.

Good luck.

Then it has to be something like your path provides access to the wrong 
make or something like that. For example,

# which make
/usr/bin/make

What do you see? There aren't many things that would create a broken 
INDEX.

It is this.  Although the idea of Unix may have started in Bell Labs,
I thought the big lawsuits 10+ years ago and lots of work by early
developers settled that no code in the current BSD line can be said
to derive from Bell Labs code.

And again -- I never posted on that list in the past.

And I only ever posted to it, unintentionally, 2 days ago, because I
complained about my spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which redirected me (via
bounceback message) to an email address that i did not know was a mailing

I suggest updating the bounceback message or you are just giving more
email addresses to spammers as other complainers like myself are tricked
into disclosing our actual email address to your maillist.

H... Which OS version are you building this on?  If it's

libpthread.so.N -- and one exceedingly annoying problem is that in a
dynamically linked program like Apache, parts of it can end up being
linked against libpthread, and other parts can be linked against
libc_r, which will cause the whole thing to crash.
One solution is to use /etc/libmap.conf to substiture libpthread for
libc_r during the dynamic link stage of program startup. See
libmap.conf(5).  /etc/libmap.conf should contain something like:
 libpthread.so.1 libpthread.so.1 # Everything uses 'libpthread'
 libpthread.so   libpthread.so
 libc_r.so.5 libpthread.so.1 # Everything that uses 'libc_r'
 libc_r.so   libpthread.so   # now uses 'libpthread'
Of course, the ultimate solution is to fix all of the ports and
recompile them so that they automatically link against the correct
threading library.

It is definitely not A. Linux is a kernel, and FreeBSD has its own kernel.
There is absolutely no Linux code in FreeBSD. However, Linux being a kernel
only is usually packaged with software from GNU for its userland. Much of
FreeBSD's userland is its own code, but it does use some GNU software.
FreeBSD is also under the BSD license, which is significantly different than
Linux's GPL license, although both are open source.

> > B.  Unix
Depends on what you mean by Unix. There is code in it that derives from the
original AT&T UNIX. It is also posix compliant. However, the Open Group
which currently owns the UNIX trademark does not consider it Unix. Also,
people will often use the term Unix to refer to the proprietary operating
systems from the big vendors (SunOS/Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, IRIX, AIX), which
are branched from the original UNIX and has code licensed from it (note SCO
who now owns the code). Although you can loosely call FreeBSD Unix, it is
more aptly referred to as a unix derivative or unix variant.

> > C.  Something else ( Tell us what ;P )
I'd go with this answer. If I had to classify it in any group, I'd classify
it as a BSD. 1) Because it's branched directly from BSD 2) It's under the
BSD license. 3) It is most similar to other BSD derivates such as OpenBSD
and NetBSD, with which it shares a lot of common code, and is significantly
more different from any other operating system.

Hi!

This might be more appropriate to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist.

Anyway, I think there are many possible reasons for this error, but 
since you didn't give any more information and asked for *any* 
experience I think my experience qualifies.

A month or so ago I started getting these errors on one client, but 
backups seemed to work fine. I investigated and found out that one 
partition on this client had accumulated so much data that it didn't 
fit to the holding disk. So sendbackup started dumping it to the 
holding disk, and before it got done the holding disk became full, 
causing the "index tee cannot write" error message on the client. 
Sendbackup noticed this and started over with this partition, this time 
dumping directly to tape. The end result is that backup takes somewhat 
longer (because this big partition is dumped "almost" twice) but 
eventually everything is OK.

A.  Linux
B.  Unix
C.  Something else ( Tell us what ;P )
 
Thanks and have a great week / day / whatever ;],
Gil.

You have me totally confused or am I missing something? How does a windows 
driver help you with freebsd 5.2.1 ?

If you have to increase your swapspace *NOW* and you don't have any spare
space left on your disk you might try something like this:

# swapinfo
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/ad0s1b524288  272   524016 0%
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swap bs=64m count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
67108864 bytes transferred in 10.536310 secs (6369295 bytes/sec)
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/swap
md0
# swapon /dev/md0
# swapinfo
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/ad0s1b524288  272   524016 0%
/dev/md065536065536 0%
Total  589824  272   589552 0%

(on 4.x, use vnconfig(8) instead of mdconfig)

IBM x345 serveRaid 6i fresh install problem

[frank cheong]

I have tried to install FreeBSD 4.9, 5.1, 5.2.1 onto a IBM x345 while FreeBSD cannot 
recognize any disc and reported "No disks found". 

I have read several post regarding the installation issue with serveRaid and know that 
there are problem with the vendor ID and device ID with adaptec and so FreeBSD cannot 
correctly recognize the serveRaid 6i. 

Post below contains instruction on how to install the FreeBSD on serveRAID 6M with 
internal and external Disc. 
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/sho...light=serveRAID 

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/ht...ary/001012.html 

Post below about exp for FreeBSD 2-BETA with servRAID 4MX 
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/sho...light=serveRAID 

Post about the vendor and device ID fix
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.c...f?r1=1.6&r2=1.7
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.c...?r1=1.9&r2=1.10

But I have the following question 
1. I don't have 6M card so I can't get a helper disk like what the author did
2. Is the Device ID of 6M is that same as 6i and what is the Device ID of 6i if they 
are different ? 
3. Is 2-BETA suitable for production environment ? 
4. Is 2-BETA fixes also for serveRAID 6i ? 
5. I saw from post above seeems like vendor ID and device ID have been fixed on 19 
March, 2003. How can I get the latest installation media with that build ?
6. I have another machine installed FreeBSD, can this machine help ?
7. Or could anyone help list the detailed steps to build a bootable installaion floopy 
(fixit ?) so as to correctly recognize my serveRAID 6i for installation ? Though I 
have read the "Release Engineering" article, but I still can't do

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for that input, I took a look at the cpu temp info in the bios
and it seems stable at around 35deg C or 93deg F. A quick check of the
data sheet on intels website seems to indicate that this processor can
function up to a maximum of 70deg C so I am left wondering if this CPU
throws out double the heat under load. I am using the same case as the
previous machine. The ac unit is not old and should be good to go for a
bit longer. The machine itself sits near another machine that is on
permanently but apart from other computers no heat source is nearby. 

Would a faulty disk not leave any messages in the logs and simply lock
up on occaision ? I get no read/write errors just a machine lockup. 

Again, any thoughts are appreciated.
