wrestling with b*rked package/ports collection
I seem to be in a loop where expat and gettext will somehow not install in such a way as to serve as valid dependencies. I have rebuilt either directly or as part of building something else countless times, as well as installing from a package. For whatever reason, expat seems to be missing something: Error: shared library "expat.5" does not exist portupgrade -f, installing from source, installing from a package: all seem to fail.

Hi,
i had the same problems here.
the problem came up after an upgrade from OpenLDAP-2.2.6 to
OpenLDAP-2.2.7
the problem is line 205 in net/openldap22-server/Makefile
LIBS+= ${PTHREAD_LIBS}
the libraries are expicitly linked against "c_r" which breaks everything.
this change was introduced to fix threading problems on CURRENT system as
the CVS log says. i can not check if it works on CURRENT but it definitly
breaks the STABLE systems.
solution:
remove line 205 in net/openldap22-server/Makefile and recompile/reinstall
the port and it will work.
maybe the maintainer can say something more about the porblems on CURRENT.
regards
Joerg

Well, we're getting closer!! The problem is reproduceable. Install exim-ldap2-4.30_2 on freebsd 5.2.1 This will obviously install openldap-client-2.1.28_1 if your ports are up to date! Then start exim and try a telnet on port 25.. I noticed some interesting commits on the openldap21-server however potentially someone more knowledgeable may have some thoughts on this matter!

'Partial' X upgrade, now locked out of X server
Hello, It looks like I have upgraded parts of XFree86 while installing some other ports, and I now seem unable to make even local connections to my X server. I must admit, X is something I set up years ago on this machine, and have just set and forgot---as such, I do not even have a good appreciation for what information might be useful for people to help me debug this. The machine was originally running one of the early 4.X releases, and that is when X was installed. It's now running 4.8. The following have been installed recently: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:28 XFree86-clients-4.3.0_6/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:29 XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:30 XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 28 19:36 XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_6/ I usually login via xdm, started as root with 'xdm -nodaemon &'. I am currently unable to log in as a non-root user, and I get the following in ~/.xsession-errors when I try: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server twm: unable to open display ":0" I presume this has something to do with access control, but I've never needed to set up anything for local access before. While I am keen to get suggestions on how to correct this access control glitch, I would be happy to fully upgrade X if that's recommended. Somewhat embarrassingly, I'm not even sure how this should be done---via ports? -- Paul. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

freebsd 5.2.1 and exim 4.30 problems
I have a bit of strange problem and I'm nearly at my witts end as to what the cause of the problem is. Basically I installed a 5.2-RELEASE box and setup my new mailserver. Then used portupgrade to upgrade any newer versions of software installed. I then cvsup'ed to 5.2.1-p4 and now things aren't working too well. mx2# telnet 0 25 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0.

The problem is that everything works on my desktop, which is a 5.2.1-p4/exim 4.30 combo - thus proving everything should work fine. The only real differences I guess are in the hardware. The new mailserver is an SMP box whilst my box is just a standard desktop.

There's only one way to safely rebuild your system, which is the one documented in the handbook. In particular, piecewise updates are not supported. zoneinfo is hardly ever updated anyway, so you may be trying to solve a non-problem. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
XFree86 4.4 in FreeBSD?
I'm about to install FreeBSD on a new computer, and was looking over the release notes for XFree86 in preparation and discovered that the Current release is 4.4. Though I don't think I actively need any of the features of version 4.4, I do wonder why it hasn't made it into the Ports system yet. It's been out for a month, and there are FreeBSD binaries on the XFree86 site. There doesn't seem to have been much discussion of it here. Are there any specific problems with 4.4, or is it just a big job to port it and deal with dependencies?

e2fsprogs install
Hello FreeBSDers, Just installed e2fsprogs from ports and it gave some instructions for vreating some links as follows: -- To have your ext2 and ext3 filesystems fsck'ed correctly without explicitly invoking the fsck_ext2fs utility installed by this port you will need to create links for the fsck utilities installed by this port in /sbin, e.g. ln -f /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ 2>/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ ln -f /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck 2>/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck IMPORTANT: you also need to repeat the above steps after a port upgrade! - I haven't done this yet as I am a little cinfused by the syntax. In particular, I assume that each of these two commands are meant to be entered as one line, and has been shown over two lines to fit on the page. I also assume that there is a symbol denoting that the command is continued on the next line. But which one? The "\" and the end of the first line, or the "|" at the beginning of the second line, or both? Can some one set me straight?

sysinstall "Unable to find device node..."
Using an install.cfg with sysinstall off the boot floppies I am getting the following error: "Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!" "The creation of filesystems will be aborted" This only happens if I specify the file systems and sizes I want in install.cfg and tell it to do an installCommit or a diskLabelCommit. If I go into the disklabel editor after the install fails, I see the root partition and the swap partition but not my /usr or /var partitions. The debug screen says: "Scanning disk ad0 for swap partitions" "Found swapdev at ad0s1b!" It would appear that the swap device is there, and being found, but for some reason sysinstall is erroring out and I do not know why.

RE: Installation & fdisk partitioning (slices)
I know that writing is my worst form of communication ever! If something is not clear please ask. I will not bother you again. Thanks Russ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Russell E. Mayfield Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 6:12 AM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Installation & fdisk partitioning (slices) I picked up a copy of the "FreeBSD Handbook 2nd Ed" the other day, it came with a installation disk for version 5.1 Current and that is what I am trying to install. This is my first attempt to do anything with FreeBSD. First let me describe my system, I have a pentium 200 MMX cpu with 128MB Ram and two 20GB hard drives (ad0 & ad2). I am installing FreeBSD to ad2s2. I made room for fbsd with Partition Magic so when installing fbsd all I had to do was make it bootable and format it. The first time I installed fbsd everything went well but I remember wondering about the C flag that came up with the A flag when I made the slice bootable. Later I decided on a better way to arrange my partitions, so I had to reinstall fbsd. I tried for 4 days to get that C flag back in there (which the online help says is the default) and couldn't. When ever I went ahead wihtout the C flag it made the disk unusable to anything except fbsd, also in the disklabel program the d partition was skiped the first time, which the handbook cautions about using, but without the C flag I had to make a fake partition then delete it to get ride of it. Finaly I decided to live dangerously an I changed the geometry of the drive to match the bios figures. It seems to work, but I haven't gotten into it very deep. Can somebody shed some light on this, and should I make out a bug report? Thanks Russ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: BGP On Host
It's a reasonable way to perform certain kinds of replication. DDNS can often converge faster than BGP, but this *requires* that clients observe TTLs. Many do not. I don't know about current browsers, but not too long ago browsers would keep the results of a DNS lookup until they died. We offer a replication service (as a special) based on BGP. We do not recommend it unless the DDNS approach will not meet requirements. And then we work to find alternatives! To do it yourself is rather simple (Catbert's grin here.) First. Find a collection of ISPs that will agree to accept your BGP4 announcements of this foreign (to all save perhaps one ISP) AS. Oh, get an AS #. Then get someone to assign you some address space that can be so advertised. If you're lucky you have a spare /19 in your back pocket. :) After that it's *easy*. OK, I'm being cute. Some large ISPs will work with you to do this wholly in their diverse facilities with private AS numbers and address space they have reserved for this. AFAIK, the last free version of gated will work for IPv4 versions of this approach. And that runs on FreeBSD. -sam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: BGP On Host
Kind of, except both machines are on 2 different ISP, in different states. At ApacheCon, I described how I have a server in Oregon and a server in Florida, and I have a monitoring program that does a dynamic DNS update when one of the hosts goes down. The individual described that what they are doing is something to do with BGP, in which they have multiple servers in different countries, all with the same IP address. Traffic is routed to the nearest logical server, until one goes down, then the traffic is routed to the nearest logical server that is still up. That is what I am wanting. Since I didn't get the person's contact information, I am trying to figure out how to do it myself. Sincerely, Rick Duvall - Original Message - From: "Marc G.

Re: BGP On Host
I wasn't sure if it was BGP or if it was something else. Definetly between routers would be using BGP. But, I heard at an apache conference somebody was doing something where the machine would send a keepalive to the directly connected Cisco router, and if the router didn't receive the keepalive signal, BGP would re-route the traffic to the other host. Both hosts are on different ISP, but have the same IP address. Traffic is routed from the requester to the closest logical server. I think UltraDNS does this with their DNS servers as well. Anyway, I don't know what the host uses to send the keepalive to the Cisco router, or even how to configure the BGP to make it work.

unable to install gnome2 from ports
Aloha I am having a rough time trying to install Gnome 2 from ports. I have FreeBSD 5.1 running on a different PC and just installed 5.2-RC1 on a new computer. This new PC is a P4 2.6G with 1G of ram on an Asus P4800 mobo. I am installing on the first 60 GB of a 120 GB SATA drive. I installed FreeBSD from CD and did not install XFree86 from the CD. I CVSup'd for new port trees and downloaded XFree86 4.4 binaries and installed it. I went through some gyrations to get support in the kernel for my Radeon 9200se. All went well and XFree86 configured fine. I then tried do a make install clean for Gnome2. I am now stuck with an error that states; "cannot find -lpthread" Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

tar & ssh: strange gzip error message?
Hi all, If I want to copy a bunch of files over ssh without extra servers, it's easy enough to use the following command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cd /directory/to/copy && tar -cvf - *" | tar -xf - -C . This works without complaint. However, when I change the options passed to tar, adding gzip compression on one end and decompression on the other: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cd /directory/to/copy && tar -cvzf - *" | tar -xzf - -C . I get this error message: gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored tar: Child died with signal 13 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Is my method wrong? It appears that the files transferred just fine, but I'm still curious as to what's going on. Thanks in advance to any replies.

If nothing is wrong with the links, pkgdb -F doesn't do anything. I have seen portupgrade do what you had happen. It doesn't always do that but will install the ports that is needs. If you have a version of openssl installed and don't portupgrade -R portupgrade It can also leave you with the broken link that you saw originally. What is broken right now is the dependancy of portupgrade. If you do a run the following cd /usr/ports make search name=portupgrade Openssl will not be listed. If you portupgrade -f porupgrade, you can see it clean for openssl. Something is broken but if you know that the message is really telling you that "openssl" needed to be updated, you won't have a problem. The latest version may have fixed the problem since it cleaned for openssl. I don't know. For right now, I would just remember how you fixed it by updating openssl and know that you should never point a port back to itself. You have to skip and drop out of the pkgdb -F before you can fix the broken link. You are doing a number of things you don't need to. For example, I only run pkgdb -F when the system tells me to. I have a script that cvsup updates only ports-all and immediately after the cvsup, The script runs the equivalent of portsdb -uU. That is the only time portsdb -uU needs to be run. If you use a script, it will always be run when it needs to be run. In a normal situation, I never run pkgdb or portsdb from the command line. I may go for weeks without running pkgdb -F but I have a cron job that updates ports-all at 4am and 4pm. I try to keep my system clean so that I can answer questions like yours. I follow -ports@ and cvs-all@ and in the past would only upgrade my ports when something significant came along. The updates may have been weeks apart. I don't fix things that aren't broken and there are a lot of ports that seem to be updated for no special reason. I keep my systems current because if I have to spend 4 hours updating ruby before I can test your problem, my response is going to be kind of slow. Ruby is an AMD 2400+ XP with a lot of HD space and memory. When I did the portupgrade -rf expat2, it required 13 hours. That would have been a really slow response :). Half of any problem is knowing if it is probably on your end and not a generic problem affecting everyone. If two or more people have the same problem, it is probably something generic on the FreeBSD end and many times you can easily track down who broke ports-all. I keep all of the cvs-all messages for a week. The change that broke things will be in there along with the email address of the person making the change.

What other filesystems did you create. Certainly if you only made a 256MB / file system and no /usr or /var, etc (so it would put everything there in root), it would not be enough room to do a complete installation. If you want to make one big root (/) for the whole installation, you will need it to be something like 1.5GB or more, depending on how much other stuff like X and ports you install. jerry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

See ttys(5), getty(8), gettytab(5). Basically you setup a terminal type via /etc/gettytab -- copy the 'Pc' entry and append the 'al=username' property -- which causes that terminal to autologin as the named user. Then you use /etc/ttys to tell the system to run a getty(8) with that terminal type on a particular tty (the console, or a vty) -- init(8) scans the /etc/ttys file and will detect when the associated getty program exits and respawn it. Set the login shell of the username you select to the program you want to run on the console, and take steps so that you can't get into that account by other means, like ftp(1) or ssh(1).

My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. There are several ways to get it, depending on what hardware you have. If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs (total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are ISO images and not regular data files. If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the packages you need from the net.

Kernel: Panic problem with TCPDUMP
Hi everyone, I'm using the FreeBSD 5.2(FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 11 04:21:45 GMT 2004),default installation, to collect packets with TCPDUMP.

Custom kernel for PXE / cdrom installation
Related to a problem I had earlier: I am trying to set up a network installation of FreeBSD. I have a couple of other problems with this process but one of the most stubborn is getting a custom kernel to boot. If I take kernel.gz and mfsroot.gz from the boot floppies and put those in the NFS share for the PXE boot then the isntallation proceeds correctly through the normal boot floppy sequence. I want to avoid being prompted for a driver disk and things like that so I want to be able to boot my own kernel. I have taken a kernel from an identical system, copied it to the NFS share, and then copied my modules to the mfsroot image. Even though I do not use the modules I figured I would stick them in the mfsroot just to be sure. When I attempt to boot the new kernel I get errors about being unable to load each module, and the kernel ends up hanging. I have tried using my own kernel with the stock modules directory and I have made sure to compile in everything I can think of in the kernel. Can anyone shed some light on the kernel options required for a PXE boot image or why I am getting module loading errors?

A night with threads and gdb
A night with threads and gdb
or
How I began to wonder whether 5.2.1 works
or thread support is really broken
It all started on Saturday 2004/3/27: the spring sun was shining hot and
I was struggling in the effort to get apache
working decently on a 5.2.1p3/i386 (more on this later).
While portupgrading mod_php4, the system suddenly stopped working
properly: no more "make install", no more "install",
even "ls -l" would dump core!!! I wondered what could have caused this
and thought that any changes to installed ports
should not affect the stability of binaries from the base system; I
tried moving /usr/local/lib out of the way and "ls
-l" would work again. Logic or intuition lead me to blame nss_ldap, so I
disabled it and everything would work fine
again.
To make it clear: with nss_ldap enabled, everything that accessed the
user database would crash: so "ls -l",
"id" and so on (but not, e.g., "ls" without "-l").
I recompiled ls and libc with -ggdb3 and found out that the problem was
in nsdispatch.c, and precisely in the last line
of the following function:
nss_atexit(void)
{
(void)_pthread_rwlock_wrlock(&nss_lock);
vector_free((void **)&_nsmap, &_nsmapsize, sizeof(*_nsmap),
(vector_free_elem)ns_dbt_free);
vector_free((void **)&_nsmod, &_nsmodsize, sizeof(*_nsmod),
(vector_free_elem)ns_mod_free);
(void)_pthread_rwlock_unlock(&nss_lock);
}
Once again Google turned out to be man's best friend, by providing me
the following link:
http://groups.google.it/groups?q=vector_free+nss_atexit&hl=it&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=1080344625.82158.35.camel_server.mcneil.com%40ns.sol.net&rnum=1
Apart from the psychological help derived from knowing I'm not alone,
this suggested to patch that file to look like:
nss_atexit(void)
{
if (__isthreaded) (void)_pthread_rwlock_wrlock(&nss_lock);
vector_free((void **)&_nsmap, &_nsmapsize, sizeof(*_nsmap),
(vector_free_elem)ns_dbt_free);
vector_free((void **)&_nsmod, &_nsmodsize, sizeof(*_nsmod),
(vector_free_elem)ns_mod_free);
if (__isthreaded) (void)_pthread_rwlock_unlock(&nss_lock);
}
I did, and did similarly for other pthread calls in that file, declaring
__isthreaded as:
extern int __isthreaded;
That was one step ahead: now "ls -l /bin" would crash no more, but "ls
-l /home" would still be problematic. Obviously
the difference between the two is that in /bin everything is owned by
system accounts, while listing /home would imply
searching for users in the ldap database.
I guessed the problem was that upgrading php had upgraded openldap too,
so I looked at freshport and found out that
the main difference was in the makefile, where "-with-threads" had been
replaced with "-with-threads=posix".
I decided to try the three alternatives:
a) -without-threads would not do, as it would cause slapd to crash when
ldapsearching with a filter (i.e. "ldapsearch -b
'dc=mydomain'" works fine, but "ldapsearch -b 'dc=mydomain'
(objectClass=posixAccount)" not);
b) -with-threads=posix would exhibit the above mentioned problem with ls;
c) -with-threads would work best.
Now I could even "ls -l /home" and see the correct usernames. However, I
could not login or su anymore. (This forced me
to go and ask for the keys to the server room and wait until Sunday).
I ended up finding out (again by 'gdb su') that now using nss_ldap
hampers the ability of a process to read from stdin.
I can even provide this demonstrative program:
#include
int main(int argc,char**argv)
{
char ch;
getpwent();
while (1)
{
ch=getchar();
putchar(ch);
}
}
If I want it to work, I'll either need to comment the call to getpwent()
or "ldap" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
ktracing su showed "resource temporarily unavailable" when it tried to
read from descriptor 0.
Also, telnetting to localhost:pop3 had qpopper say "I/O error".
Afternoon was over, darkness was coming and the machine had to be up
again before morning, so I decided to leave
nss_ldap and migrate the user accounts to the system password files.
This will not do in the long run, since it
prevents web management, but has allow several mail domains to be up
again before any message was lost!
However, I was forced to increase the username length limit (MAXLOGNAME
to 65 in /usr/src/sys/sys/param and
UT_NAMESIZE=64 in utmp.h). This is a deviation from a standard system
which I'd like to avoid, but it is needed until
the day I can get nss_ldap back up.
(Long base system recompile).
Now I had pop3 back up, time to think about smtp.
I tried recompiling /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-ldap but it hangs on
t-event test, after the message:
./t-event
This test may hang. If there is no output within twelve seconds, abort it
and recompile with -DSM_CONF_SETITIMER=0
I tried make -DSM_CONF_SETITIMER=0, but it makes no difference.
This test calls sleep(1) and program flow never gets out of it; if I use

I don't think tcopy is double-buffered; if you only have one file on that tape and know the blocksize, dd if=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k | dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=##k should be much faster. If you have multiple files or unknown blocksizes, the cptp command from the MAG package at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dick/mag.html will preserve filemark and blocksize info through pipes, so you could do a cptp | cptp pipe. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD doesn't really work that way. You sound as if you're used to, say, Solaris where there is a system of vendor-produced binary patches and the scripting interface to manage them. While there is http://www.daemonology.net/ there is no official FreeBSD project binary patch system at the moment. FreeBSD does things differently. The primary means of getting updates to the system is to pull down updates to the source code and recompile. There are several ways of doing that, all described in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html (especially the section on CVSup which is what most people would use.) In general then the way you'ld characterise the state of the system is to note the time at which you last synchronised your sources against the FreeBSD CVS repository, and which CVS tag you used. There are certain cases which can be described in a more-or-less shortcut manner: those are (a) using one of the releases installed straight from CD, which is refered to as eg. 5.2.1-RELEASE or (b) tracking one of the -RELEASE CVS branches, eg. RELENG_5_2 -- in this case every time a patch is applied the system version as returned by 'uname -r' will indicate a "patch level" eg. 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4. However, you can manually apply the same patches (as directed in the accompanying security advisory) and recompile just the affected part of the system. This gets your system to exactly the same state as tracking the release branch, except that the various version numbers don't get updated. That doesn't count any other sort of ad-hoc patches or local customizations which may have been applied. Neither does it deal with 3rd party software (but see pkg_info(1) for how to deal with that). In short, the most effective way to learn everything you need to know about the state of a FreeBSD box is to ask the person doing the system administration.

You will find lots of information on obtaining and installing FreeBSD. Whether you choose to buy a CD set from one of the sites that burn them and package them with a handbook or download the ISO and burn it yourself and install via FTP primarily depends on two things. 1- the quality/speed of your internet connection. If you have a slow connection or if it is unreliable, it can be a long tedius task to do it all by download. But with a good connection, it is easy and quick. 2- If you are able to financially support the FreeBSD project. Most of the companies that package installation CD sets contribute some of the money to the FreeBSD project. jerry > > Thanks > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
portupgrade problem w/ dependency?
After doing a make install on openssl and then a portupgrade -f portupgrade, here's what I ran... server# pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database server# portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.. Done. done [Updating the portsdb in /usr/ports ... - 10657 port entries found .1000.2000.3000.4000.5000... ..6000.7000.8000.9000.1.. . done] server# pkdgdb -F pkdgdb: Command not found. server# pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database server# This was what was happening after my previous selection of the portupgrade as a dependency using tab completion (it wouldn't allow openssl with tab completion); no errors seemed to show up afterwards. How can I tell that the link/dependency is properly fixed with portupgrade now, or does the above show it's okay? I don't know if now portupgrade has a circular dependency or not... :-( (below was the exchange that started my problem in the first place and prompted me to send to the list) I'd think that the "command failed" part meant nothing was changed?...below was what prompted the question, above is the output after installing openssl and going portupgrade -f portupgrade, sorry for the out-of-sequence-of-events-posting :-) server# pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database Stale dependency: portupgrade-20040325_1 -> openssl-0.9.7d (security/openssl): New dependency?
